Elladan and Elrohir finally got most of the blossoms out of their
hair, and went to get their horses. Estel and Legolas had a few
minutes headstart, but the twins were not worried. After all, there
was not very many places for the two to hide.

Estel and Legolas watched from the shelter of the trees as the twins
cleaned up where they had been lying. "Do you think we should
help them?", asked Legolas. "Uh, no. I really don't think this
would be a
good time to show ourselves," replied Estel. "I kind of enjoy
living. I have a feeling , though, that we will have to watch
ourselves." They both snickered.

"We heard that! You two best beware the wrath of the sons of
Elrond!", laughed Elrohir. Elladan didn't say anything, just
gave his twin a grin.

The day was beautiful, and no one could stay mad for very long. As
the four of them rode, they reveled in the warmth of the sun and the
brotherhood they shared.

Neither Legolas and Estel noticed that first Elrohir, then Elladan
were dropping behind slowly. Suddenly, a shrill whistle sounded.
Both Estel and Legolas found themselves sitting in the cold water of
a small stream, with a fish sitting on top of Legolas' head.
Their horses were standing there, looking innocently at them.

"I thought you were taught how to stay on your horse. Isn't
it hard to ride a fish, especially when it's on your head?" said
Elrohir, trying not to laugh, and failing. Elladan chimed in "Why,
Estel! I was under the impression Ada himself taught you to ride.
Did you really need a bath right now?"

Legolas and Estel just looked at each other, then started
laughing. "All right, you got us. I have a feeling, though, that
the war has just begun!", replied Estel. Legolas, however wasn't
so sure
that he would be able to keep up with Estel. He had been caught
before between the three brothers, and had not exactly won. But,
maybe, this time, he could help his friend.

As Legolas was standing up, he held the fish in his hand. Elladan
was moving back to the horses, while talking to his twin. Suddenly,
the fish sailed through the air and caught Elladan in the back of
the head. "Sorry, it slipped. I meant to throw it back into the
water," said Legolas with an innocent look. Estel stood up, and
Elrohir said, "Don't even think about it! Drop it!"

"Why, I don't know what you're talking about. I have
nothing in my hands." Neither twin believed him, however.

They caught more fish, and cooked them for supper. After cleaning
up, they rested, and simply enjoyed the companionship.
