*Mrs. Lovett- hell, she wouldn't be Mrs. Lovett anymore soon- pulled on her wedding dress. It was hard to believe this was really happening. She was marrying a man she loved, and who loved her back. He was also at least as evil as Todd, but you couldn't have everything.*

*There was a knock on the door, and Nessa entered the room. She stood in the doorway, a bit shy and nervous. She didn't know what her destiny would be after Queen Tearbirds death....*
"Umm.... I was wondering..... if you needed any help to get ready."
*Nessa stuttered, a bit unsure, and afraid of Mrs. Lovett's reaction. Nessa was, after all the shyest of all the elves in Lorien.*

*Mrs. Lovett opened the door. Smiling, she welcomed Nessa in*
"I'm not really sure what the proper things to do are. I'm sure I'll be relying on you a great deal."

*Nessa looked up at her and blushed, but smiled back.*
"I know everything that's worth knowing about the court and the etiquette. I was Queen Tearbird's chamber maid. I was born here on the castle. Both my parents are nobles. My name is Nessa Telemnar, but everyone here calls me Nessa."
*She looked up at Mrs. Lovett again.*
"So if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask."

"And you can callme Nellie, everyone does."
*She stopped*
"Unless that's improper, I honestly don't know."

*Nessa smiled.*
"The Queen and Leetah were best friends. They called each other by name in private, but when there were anyone else present, Leetah called the Queen "Your Majesty", and the Queen called Leetah "Lady Lorien." Perhaps you and I could do the same? Except, in public I would be "Lady Telemnar", of course."

"Alright then, Nessa."
*She struggled with her corset*
"I'm more than a bit nervous."

*Nessa smiled and took care of the corset for her. She was a clever chamber maid, since she had been practising since her early childhood.*
"I can understand that. Just remember that a queen have to hide her real feelings behind a smile. Just smile and wave to the people and they will all adore you."
*She looked questioning at Mrs. Lovett.*
"Do you want to have a bath prepared for you while I get your dress and your jewels ready?"

"I took a bath already."
*She turned to Nessa*
"And Lord, do I know about hiding my feelings...had to always wear a cheerey face or my pies would never be sold."
*She laughed*
"Times sure shange..."

*Nessa smiled.*
"Oh, good. Then I only need to help you with your dress, your hair and your makeup. The jewels are considered a part of the dress."
*Nessa started to work. As a skilled Chamber maid, it didn't take her long to get Mrs. Lovett into the dress, and place all the Jewels in the right places of the dress. She finished her work by placing the neckless around Mrs. Lovett's neck. Then she took a step back to admire her work.*
"Not bad, but the hairdo is wrong for a queen. It is too common. Do you want me to help you?"

*Despite herself, she blushed*
"What would you suggest?"

*Nessa looked at Mrs. Lovett's short flapper cut hair and sighed. She knew some of the stricter elves would react to this.... if not Nessa could trick them.*
"Well, it's a pity you don't have long hair. But don't mind the grumpy old gits at the court. A clever chamber maid can trick them anytime."
*She smiled and winked, starting to work on Mrs. Lovetts hair while she was talking.*
"If we place this lock of hair like this, and that lock of hair like that...."
*30 minutes later Mrs. Lovett had a classy and very elegant hairdo, and a veil on top of it. Nessa stepped back and admired her work.*
"Now, look at that. You almost look royal!"

"You're a treasure."
*She grinned after looking at her reflection*
"I don't know what I'd do without you."

*Nessa smiled and looked at Mrs. Lovett.*
"You look beautiful. Do you want me to help you with the make-up as well? And the perfume perhaps?"

"Oh, thank you."
*She sat back down*
"I just hope I can live up to my appearance."
