Disclaimer-Not Legolas, not Elladan, not Elrohir or anyone else familiar from Lord of the Rings are mine. Not one of them. Nanaylia is though as well as any others you don't recognize.
Summary-When a 'war of the pranks' begins between the twins of Rivendell and the Mirkwood siblings, things are suddenly turned upside-down when a group of men decide to take Legolas and Nanaylia as prisoners.
Author's Note-There will be a couple of references to my stories 'Pirates of the Elven Seas' (which isn't essential to be read before this) and 'Journey of a Thousand Steps' (which I do recommend reading but I don't think is absolutely required).

War of the Pranks
"You will never win!" Legolas cried as he tried to hurry away from the twins.
"We will get you sometime! We will win a war of the pranks someday!" Elrohir yelled at him, throwing a fist into the air.
Nanaylia laughed as she watched the two. She was so preoccupied with watching her brother being chased by Elrohir, she didn't see the other elven twin steadily walking up behind her. He grabbed her around her waist and lifted her off her feet. She screeched as he did so.
"I have got you now," Elladan told her with a smile.
"You will pay for that," she cried out. "Let me go!"
Legolas stopped and turned, deciding to finally be tackled by Elrohir. The two were quickly wrestling on the ground.
It had been a few weeks since the two Mirkwood siblings returned from the strange world of Port Royal. Legolas' injuries were healed from the incident. Even Elladan's arm was almost healed as well.
"No, I do not think so. You will submit to me," replied Elladan in an evil sounding tone.
Nanaylia glanced down to see how far off the ground she was and she soon smiled as she quickly lifted up her leg. It landed in Elladan's groin area and he was surprised as he dropped her to the ground. He fell to one knee as he looked up at her.
"What was that for?" he asked, a slight wince appearing on his face.
"To show that you do not learn. I will not submit to anyone anymore," she replied, kneeling down beside him. "I remember doing the same thing to you few years ago soon after I returned home. You do remember that, do you not?"
Elladan groaned once he heard that as his grandfather soon walked out to them. Arwen was following him.
"I can see you spared no time getting rough," Celeborn told them as he looked over at Legolas and Elrohir.
Legolas soon looked over and stopped what he was doing, causing Elrohir to do the same. Both quickly stood up and both had sheepish looks on their faces. Celeborn laughed.
"Your grandmother and I will be discussing issues with Thranduil. We will probably be a few hours, maybe more. Keep yourselves occupied but try not to get onto trouble. Whenever you do, it seems like someone always gets hurt," Celeborn told them. "Trouble seem to follow the four of you around."
"What makes you think we get into trouble?" wondered Elrohir, an impish smile on his face.
Celeborn rolled his eyes before turning around and heading back inside. Along the way, he could be heard mumbling about his grandson. Arwen walked up to them and soon saw the look of war on her friend's eyes. Nanaylia soon laughed quietly.
"Oh no. Are you planning what I think you are planning?" wondered Arwen, hoping that Nanaylia wasn't.
"A war of the pranks. What do you say? Shall we?" she asked the others.
The twins vigorously nodded. She already knew they would. Legolas soon nodded, a smile on his face.
"Even though we already know the outcome before we even start," he added.
"It will still be fun. That is what matters, right?" she replied. "Having fun?"
"Of course having fun is important! And maybe we will actually top you this time,"Elladan replied. "But the fun should come first."
"No, the winning should come first," retorted Elrohir.
"Maybe you are right," Elladan suddenly agreed. "But I do not know."
"Oh please," Nanaylia sighed.
Her brother laughed and nodded. Legolas looked at Arwen and immediately stopped laughing. The elf had a worried look on her face.
"What is wrong?" he wondered, walking up to her.
"I feel something will go wrong. Maybe you should not start this one," she suggested.
"Everything will be fine," Elladan told her, "What could possibly go wrong?"
"Anything could possibly go wrong," replied Arwen. "If anything happens, do not say that I did not warn you."
She headed back inside, leaving the four slightly confused.
"Nothing will go wrong," Elladan said.
"Alright, start your planning. I cannot wait to see what you think of this time," Legolas suddenly said.
Elrohir and Elladan smiled at each other before the four broke off into their separate groups.

Legolas and Nanaylia sat in their tree. When they knew that the twins weren't in earshot, Nanaylia turned towards her brother.
"Legolas, I have an idea. One that will deifinitely throw them off," she told him with a smile.
"What is it?" he asked, his curiousity sparked.
She told him what her plan was and he listened intently. He began to smile as she continued.
"That is an idea," he told her, placing a hand on his chin. "I just might know where to pull this one off. Come on! Follow me!"
He climbed down the tree and she soon followed him. They walked into the forest nearby.

Elladan and Elrohir were quickly thinking of something to do to the Mirkwood siblings.
"What about if we set a trap? Then one of us gets into trouble. The other goes to get their help and leads them right into it. They get trapped and we leave them there until their father finds them," suggested Elrohir.
"That is a good one. I take it we will set this 'trap' close to their home?" wondered Elladan.
"Of course! You know with what happened to the family over the centuries, Thranduil worries about his children quite easily now. You know he simply does not want to lose either of them when ever so rcently Nanaylia returned," replied Elrohir as Elladan nodded.
"Then let us go get this prepared," Elladan replied.
The two soon headed to get their plan ready. After they did that, they passed several trees. Elladan turned his head, a confused look on his face. Elrohir turned to stare at his brother and he heard the same thing.
"Splashing of water?" Elrohir wondered. "I did not know there was water around here."
"I also hear voices and it is Legolas and Nanaylia. I wonder what they are doing?" Elladan said.
"They probably want us to go in, looking for them. Leave them be," Elrohir replied with a wave of his hand.
"No, I have to go see what is going on with them," Elladan said, seeming mesmerized by the sounds.
Elrohir gave an exasperated sigh before following his brother. As they were walking towards the position of the siblings, their conversation became more clear.
"Legol, are you certain no one will find us here like this?" they heard Nanaylia say.
"No. I am certain that Father does not know about this place. Even if he did, I doubt he would come here first," Legolas was saying. "Elrohir and Elladan are probably still thinking of a way to win the war. They do not seem to have the best of luck when it comes to facing us."
"They certainly do not but I still feel a bit nervous. What if someone does happen to come along? I would be the one they would want more. Not you. I feel more vunerable than you," Nanaylia replied.
"I feel vunerable too. But you are right to a point. Anyone who does come along would want you more but I will not let that happen. No one will come and find us like this," Legolas told her.
Elladan and Elrohir were both confused by this conversation but they soon came across their answer as they peeked over a few bushes.
What they saw was Legolas and Nanaylia in a pond. The water was waist deep and their hair crawled around their shoulders. Legolas was sitting next to the side of the bank, probably on a rock considering how he was sitting, while Nanaylia was standing in the middle of the water. Her back was facing the twins and she was humming to herself. Her blonde hair flowed down her back and down her chest area. But what got the attention of the twins was what they two were wearing.
The Mirkwood siblings were wearing nothing at all.
