Thanks to my betas and to Gaia caecilia for a few ideas. Any misspellings are my own mistake. I do not own lotr, and even if I did they would disown me after this. :)
Everything was set, no one would suspect who had created this havoc. However it was going to be fun to watch what happens. At that thought a small smile appeared on the face of the one who no one would suspect. This was indeed going to be fun..

Glorfindel was beyond exhaustion, it had been a very busy few weeks training and teaching new patrols as well as filling in on a few patrols himself as needed. Now all he wanted was some rest, he sighed as he lay down in a proper bed for the first time in quite a while and felt himself start to drift off to sleep. That was until he noticed a strange color above his bed, he lit a candle and there on the ceiling above his bed was a bulldog painted as big as life. Startled by the seemingly sudden appearance of his enemy he found and drew his sword before he realized it was only a painting. Angry he stormed out of his quarters forgetting in his haste he was only wearing his night clothes.
He passed several elleths and ellons on his way but did not pause at the odd looks he was receiving or at the small smile one gave him. He paused only briefly as he knocked on the door to Elrond's rooms before storming in, and stopped suddenly for there was his friend Elrond peeling off his own night clothes at an alarming rate. "Elrond what is going on?" this behavior had Glorfindel so puzzled he stopped suddenly, forgetting his own anger, and not a small bit of fear that had come upon seeing what had been painted above his bed. "Someone has placed some type of itching powder in my clothes and on my bed sheets. I must stop this infernal itching ." Elrond said through clenched teeth as he started to wash in a basin of water. " I do not know what is going on here but I plan to find out as soon as this itching is stopped."
Suddenly the door to Elrond's room is again thrust open this time by one of his twin son's who looked as if he were very frightened, and very upset at the same time. "Ada, there is something wrong with Elrohir!" The twin was to shaken to even notice the state of his ada as Elrond scratching all the while doned a robe and hurried to his other sons room. It did not escape Glorfindel's notice that in the seat of the younger ellon's sleep pants there was a target sewn onto them. But this would have to wait as they hurried into the room to find Elrohir thrashing around in the middle of the room. He seemed to not see them as the trio came up to him. "My son, what is wrong?" "Get them off! " he shouted then he finally removed his tunic to show the onlookers that he was covered in the bits of ants that he had been frightened of as a small child. "Ada, get them off please." Elrohir was near tears now as Elond still scratching all the while tried to help calm him and remove the offending animals. Glorfindel went over to the bed and pulled back the covers to reveal ants swarming under the covers of the bed. "I have never understood your fear of these animals however some fears need no basis ." He was slightly amused to see Elrond trying to use the door jam as a scratching post as he followed his sons out of the room.
Later as the four gathered in Elrond's quarters while he spread cream upon the bites of his son and cleaned the powder off himself. Glorfindel related his tale and told Elladan to turn around so that the target on his backside was apparent to the others. "Ada, said the twins together we did not do these things we promise you." Elrond did not reply as he struggled with his own laughter at the target. " You would not harm your brother by using something you know he is afraid of, pranks yes but not that." Glorfindel stated to the young Ellon looking at Elrond with a raised eyebrow he said "But who would?" "I do not know but it seems we have a mystery on our hands and we must find." out stated Elrond.

Quietly creeping down the hall trying not to spill the laughter that was beneath the surface the culprit plotted another move.
