Estel had been watching the Prank War, or Rivendell War 2 as those who remembered Legolas' last visit to see Princess Arwen so FONDLY called it, for a while and had come to one conclusion. No one was safe. Poor Glorfindel, who would later be cut out of the Movies, was one of the most often victims.
But one day, Glorfindel, and every other elf in Rivendell, breathed a sigh of relief. Lord Thranduil was coming to Rivendell with Young Princess Melefina for a conference with Lord Elrond. Everyone knew that Legolas would be on his BEST behavior in front of his father. It was ever rumored that there was a truce between the Twins and Legolas. This of course, was denied and denied by the twins and not mentioned to Legolas.
Legolas stood straight as a pole next to Estel at the end of the line of people waiting to see The Royalty of Mirkwood. Melefina and Lord Thranduil rode up on horses followed by a host of Mirkwood elves. Remus, Melefina's favorite Elven Guard and the one who had accompanied Legolas to Rivendell, helped the little girl off the horse. Her Eyes went straight to Legolas and She grinned, waving madly. A slight twitch of his lips showed her that he was happy to see her, too.
Thranduil and Elrond immediately went off to Elrond's Study to discuss whatever they were going to discuss. Legolas Immediately slouched a little when no one was watching and Melefina ran up to him. "Brother!" She cried as she hugged him, threatening to break his ribs. "Hi Mel. I'll introduce you to everyone Ok? That's Estel, and those are Elrohir and Elladan. Arwen's in Lothlorien right now, and that's Glorfindel, WONDERFULLY good sport, Glorfindel is! Poor guy's been pelted with pranks. And that's Erestor."
Melefina curtsied to them all. "It's nice to meet you all. Leggy, where am I staying?"
Elrohir and Elladan looked at each other. "Leggy?" They asked, before breaking into fits of laughter. Estel smiled and shook his head at the twins. Glorfindel ignored it. "Come Princess Melefina, I'll show you to your room. I'm sure that...Leggy...can handle the twins when you aren't around to see the bloodshed."
Melefina looked puzzled but followed the blonde haired elf. Once Melefina was out of his sight, Legolas smirked at the twins and cracked his knuckles. The twins looked up and gulped. Though they were FAR from weak, an angry Legolas bent on killing them wasn't exactly a pretty idea.
"We're sorry Leggy!" Elrohir Cried. "We didn't mean it!" Elladan said. "DON'T HURT US!" They said together. Estel looked at them like they had grown second heads and walked off thinking of the oddities that followed the Mirkwood Prince.
Legolas sighed. "Fine. I won't hurt you. Now, Two rules. NEVER CALL ME LEGGY! And, Leave Melefina OUT of the pranks. Got it?" "Yes, Ma'am!" they cheered before running off. Legolas growled and ran after them, shouting "DON'T CALL ME MA'AM!"
In his study, Elrond sighed. Thranduil looked surprised. "Is that my son yelling, or am I hearing things?" He asked. "Oh no, that's your son, unless all of Rivendell in hearing things."
There was a rumor flying around all of Imladris the next day. There was going to be a HUGE party in the home of Elrond, and Most of the realm was invited, Plus many people from others. Even DWARVES and HOBBITS and HUMANS! And of course, Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn were bringing some people form Lothlorien.
"Brother, this will be so fun! I wonder who will take me to the party?" Melefina asked. Legolas grinned. "Aren't you a little young to worry about dating? Why don't you have Remus take you? I Actually trust him." Melefina grinned. "OK!" She ran off.
The party was, of course, not just a rumor, and was for some celebration which none were informed of. Which made Legolas think. 'Why would they have a party? Certainly not because of Father arriving. No...this is something different.' And then, a horrible Idea came into his mind. An idea that made him want to be sick, even though Elves don't get sick. "No...They WOULDN'T. Would they?"
