Legolas lay quietly, waiting for his three friends to fall asleep.
He already knew exactly how and what he was going to do to them. He
was going to exclude Estel, then decided to include him. Why not?
After all, it was boring just getting the twins. One thing, however,
was very clear. He had to make sure he had an escape plan ready!
The soft even breathing of the three was his signal to start. He
cautiously walked over to where the horses were tied. He took some
clothing from each pack, then proceeded to "fix" them. He
chortled
as he imagined them trying to wear the clothing.
First, Elladan. He looked at the tunic, then proceeded to sew the
sleeves shut. Now, Elrohir. He thought for a moment, then sewed the
neck shut. As for Estel, he knew exactly what he
wanted to do. He took the pants, then sewed the bottom of the legs shut.
The sun was almost to the horizon when they started to stir. Legolas
offered to get some fresh water from a nearby spring. Suddenly, some
very interesting dwarven curses filled the air. "Going to have to
see if that is possible to do," thought Legolas, with a smirk on
his
face. He went near his horse, only to see his three friends already
there. "Uh, um, er, what seems to be the trouble?", he asked.
"Why, nothing at all! It is so nice of someone to help with our
repair work!", growled Elladan. " Thank you so much!",
Elrohir said.
Estel gave Legolas a look that boded no good for the elf. "Get
him!
Don't let him get to the horses!"
Suddenly, he knew he was in for a rough time. Three pairs of hands
had him. He struggled to get away, but he knew it would be futile.
All three started to laugh evilly. They got him back to camp.
They wouldn't dare! But, they did. Ashes from the previous
night's
campfire were most artistically ground into his hair! Now this was
just a bit much. He turned on them, getting some ashes into their
hair, and even more on himself.
By this time, they were all exhausted from laughing. "Is there
any
clothing you DIDN'T sew last night?", asked Estel. "Yes,
I only
sewed the things you were going to wear this morning," replied
Legolas.
They went to clean themselves at the stream, and changed their
clothing. By now, noon had arrived, and they decided to stay eat
their lunch, then move on. They knew Lord Elrond would be looking
for them, and they would be happy to see Rivendell again.
