Aphylia looked to see Elijah entering the patio next to her own. He looked surprised to see he outside. She was just as surprised as he.
He looked at his hands then turned to her, "Hey sorry about what I said at the elevator. It's just..." He stopped, fumbling for words.
Aphylia was relieved. She thought he was going to question her more.
Standing up she practically laughed in her relief. Turning to Elijah she smiled, "Its okay. I understand."
Elijah wiped his hand on his forhead and sighed with relief as well. Then he looked at her again worry filling his adorable eyes, "Hey um, this isn't really my room its Orlando's. Since you guys seem to be good friends don't tell him I was in it. K? He just got the better view and..." he trailed off. Footsteps could be heard down the hallway from outside. Elijah looked over his shoulder then back at Aphylia.
"What should I do? He's probably still fuming mad at what I said!"
"Um," Aphylia looked at the distance between the railings. There was none.
"Here. Climb over to my patio and hide inside. Then you can go out my door and into your own room."
"Good idea," Elijah nimbly hopped over the railings and landed on her patio. Hurrying inside she heard him run into her bed accidently. An, "OOOWEEEEE!" came from inside.
Aphylia smiled to herself. She listened as the footsteps stopped, then someone fumbling with the lock. The door opened. More footsteps.
The patio doors were open on his side. Aphylia held her breathe. Legolas.
Aphylia leaned over to try to see Legolas. There was some shuffling of feet. She was able to catch a glimpse of him, but she immediatly blushed. He was taking off his t-shirt and changing into a tux! Aphylia took a deep breathe. She was embarassed. Even though he didn't know she was there.
The sound of a door opening and someone trying to tiptoe out, reached her ears. Elijah. She smiled. Clumsy little guy.
She walked back into her room. The clock read 15 minutes till. I'm gonna be late, she thought. Grabbing an evening purse and slipping on some nice high heels, she raced out the door. Panting she caught up with Laura, Molly, Sandra, and their boyfriends. Aphylia felt a little left out.
They all squeezed into an elevator and went down to the parking garage.
It was full of limosines trying to get out. Sandra stared at all of them trying to figure out which star was in them. Laura and Molly spotted the car. Compared to the limos it seemed a bit out of place to be going to a premier.

Everyone piled into the car. Sandra's boyfriend started the ignition and they pulled out. Laura, Molly, and Sandra gushed over Aphylia's dress.
"Where did you get it? Melrose street?" wondered Laura.
"It's beautiful! Not fair! My dress lookes like a pile of rags compared to that splendor! lol!" exclaimed Molly.
"I agree," Sandra nodded her head in aw.
"It's not all that great guys. I mean come on. It's just a dress."
The rest of the car ride was filled with compliments and Laura whining that she didn't have one (she was joking though).
They finally pulled up at the premeire parking complex. Limosines and famous actors (and actresses) were everywhere. Laura had her face squished up to the window watching and pointing out everyone that walked by. Thank goodness we have tinted windows, thought Aphylia.
Everyone got out of the car and waited as Sandra's boyfriend gave instructions to the valet parker guy. Everyone in their group seemed shy amongst all the stars.
Haden Christianson walked by, Laura had to be held back from running over to him and pouring her heart out. They neared the red carpet and Aphylia, along with everyone else found spots near the front near the red carpet. A security guy pulled some caution tape out infront of them and explained they couldn't go in until all the stars had gotten out.
Fans came from nowhere and began snapping pictures and screaming, "I LOVE YOU HADEN, WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
Aphylia was disgusted. After the Episode II actors had gone into the movie theatre other actors came down the red carpet.
Aphylia spotted Orlando Bloom at once. She smiled at him and caught his eye. He mouthed a quick, sorry, to her. She mouthed back, its okay. He smiled with relief then went over and signed autographs for a couple of drooling teenagers.
Molly was going into hysterics when she saw Elijah Wood walk down the red carpet next. She got his attention immediatly and had him sign her his autograph.
Elijah looked up and spotted Aphylia.
"Hey thanks with that whole room thingy. He didn't notice anything did he?"
"Nope! But you were so loud trying to hide I wouldn't be surprised if he had!"
"Right. Sorry about the table or whatever that was. I didn't mean to trip over it on my way out."
"It's okay. Calm down. You didn't mess anything up. Now go in before the security gaurd comes over and starts asking questions."
"Right. See ya later then!" with that Elijah walked into the theatre.
Molly was looking at her with envy. Her mouth hung so low it practically touched her shirt.
"You... you just talked to..to Elijah Wood!"
"Yep! Ya better believe it."
"He was in your room!" put in Laura with just as much envy.
"He was hiding from Orlando Bloom. So he climbed over from his patio to mine and went out my door. So. Whats sooo great about that?"
"Oh my gosh! You do not know how great that is. You breathed the same air as him. Not fair!" squealed Molly.
"Calm down everyone. Its our turn ta go into the theatre now, "broke in Sandra.
Aphylia exhaled in relief. She didn't want to say anymore then she had already. And she didn't want Molly and Laura mad at her because she talked to a movie star that they were obsessed with.
(movie is over, everyone is leaving and congratulating Haden and all the other actors in Episode II.)

Laura looks bugeyed, "Oh my gosh! That was the greatest! Haden looked soooooooooo hot! But he was with that Amidala girl, darnit!"
Her boyfriend looks at her funny.
Sandra points out, "Hey your hooked up remember? The only girl free ta snag Haden is Aphylia. "
"He isn't for me. Really."
"More for me then," Laura grins evilly.
"Right." The girls roll their eyes in unison.
"Hey we have time to meet actors and stuff before we all go to the hotel again."
"Sweet!" Laura grins, "Haden honey here I come!"
Laura leaves. Her boyfriend ambles off with the other two guys and they go see the Amidala actress (i dunno who the heck that is).
"Well I'm gonna go see if I can find Elijah again. Maybe he will have an actual conversation with me!" Molly walks off.
Sandra watchs her go then turns to Aphylia, "I guess that leaves you and me with no one! lol! I'll go find someone to beg an autograph out of." Sandra walks toward a group of actors.
Then that leaves me with you Legolas. Aphylia spots him immediatly.
"Leg.. I mean... Orlando! Hey!" better not do that again thought, thought Aphylia.
"Legolas looked up from a conversation with Viggo to see her walking towards him.
"You know her Orlando?" asks Vigs enviously.
"Yep! And your a bit out of her league. Go find Liv."
"Okay!" Viggo walks over to Liv and another actress.
"Hi!" repeated Aphylia a bit shyly. Why am I embarrassed to talk to him? Again?
The kiss thingy, she remembered. Oh thats a good reason.
Legolas looked at her shyly as well, "About that thing with Elijah. Sorry, he's just, well?"
"A good friend. It's okay! I talked with him already."
"Oh good. Um about that thing in the elevator. I'm sorry. I didn't know what came over me." Or maybe I did thought Orlando.
Legolas stood back and looked at Aphylia again. Been so long. He thought of the last milleniums without her. Empty milleniums. All blurred waiting for the time when they would see each other once more.
Aphylia smiled at him and spoke, "It's okay. I enjoyed the kiss."
"Oh."
"Why don't we talk alone, somewhere. I've been dieing to know what happened to you after that morning in Mirkwood."
"Okay." Orlando led her to a couch and they sat.
Orlando cleared his throat and started, "After you ran out the window, I had the men to deal with. They were pretty easy to kill off. None of them were very skilled in the art of weaponry. Just young mortals doing what they thought was right. No smart leaders. No planning. Just run, try to kill, and come out victorious.
Only ten came up. After they were finished with I went down to help with the real battle. Most of the men were done with their looting and the rest had chased after straggling elves. They didn't seem to care if there were still some elves left over wanting to fight. All they wanted was our stuff!
I looked around at the wounded and saw..." Orlando stopped. His eyes filled with grief.
Aphylia looked scared, "No it can't be."
Legolas nodded and continued, "Hendel was lying on the ground, dead!" "No!" Legolas stopped and a tear ran down his cheek. Aphylia broke into sobs. Why did he have to die? Defending me! (elves can be killed! Either by grief or by yah know weaponry, wounds.)
None of the actors seemed to see. Aphylia was relieved for that. She wanted to go curl up and just hide. Hendel. He had been her bestest friend. Like a brother! And his wife? Elayah? Did she know? Did she ever find out? Aphylia paused between a sob and asked softly, "How? How did he die?"
Legolas looked sick at the memory, "an axe in his side. Practically in half." His lower lip trembled and he continued.
"His green eyes looked so much in pain. It was too much Aphylia. With you gone who knows where. Hendel dead. Gimli off fighting, I still don't know if he survived, I lost my mind! I just ran. And didn't stop running until I reached the Misty Mountain. There I hid. With my grief and worries. I watched the world change alone. I have only seen one other person from my past besides you. Gandalf. Who do you think Merlin was. I was in King Arthur's court. I was one of his knights! Merlin *ahem gandalf ahem* and I became good friends until Arthur died. Then I had to move on and start a new.
I don't remember much until the Salem witch trials. Some group of psycho peasents convicted me of being a witch. They were almost close. With the magic thing. I got out of being turned to toast and ran again. Started anew and went on with life. It's been the same forever.
I don't know what made me become an actor. I was just found and stuck in a movie or two. I went to a drama school. Then got a role as me in the Lord Of The Rings Movie. It was kinda funny. I helped with the language a bit and my own costume.
The only reason I chose stardom was to find you.
