First Time Around

~

Summary: The prelude to the Song For None series. The boys are meeting for the first time in Rivendell as their fathers negotiate an alliance between Rivendell and Mirkwood. The twins are having problems of their own and the last thing they need is a snotty prince who thinks he is an adult!

Rating: PG-13, little violence, and some tense situations.

Warnings: None, this is not a slash or a romance fic. None to very few invented characters and if there are they are mostly just advisors to Elrond and maybe a few playmates (as in friends) for the boys.

Genre: Action/Adventure, humour, drama.

Archive: Ask nicely and I'll let you!

Disclaimer: I am not J.R.R. Tolkien or a relation to him so I don't own the characters just most of the plot and maybe not even some of that! Don't sue you won't get anything but notebooks with story plots in them!

"Father, I don't want to go! I want to stay here!" The little prince of Mirkwood followed at his fathers heals begging him to let him stay in Mirkwood.

"No, Legolas, you are coming to Rivendell with me and you will not say another word about it!" Thranduil shook his head at his son, did the boy not understand!

"Father!" Legolas cried out as Thranduil disappeared into his private chambers and slammed the door.

Legolas's friend Nilhisie stepped out from behind a drape, "So, you're going?"

"Yea, father won't let me stay. This is so stupid! I am old enough to stay here alone!" Legolas turned and walked back towards his room.

"I think so too! What is there to do in Rivendell anyways?!" Nilhisie followed after Legolas, fully agreeing with Legolas's outburst.

"You always get me in trouble!" Elrohir shouted at his brother.

"DO NOT!" Elladan shouted back and stuck out his tongue for effect.

"I get blamed for everything you do!" Elrohir pointed at his brother, his face reddening slightly with anger.

"Maybe if you weren't stupid enough to get caught you wouldn't have that problem!" Elladan crossed his arms and glared at his brother.

"You are impossible!" Elrohir bellowed and Erestor came bursting into the room, "Elrohir! What have we told you about keeping your voice down inside! Stop yelling this instant or you'll be helping in the kitchen for the next 200 years!" Erestor demanded and left to room to see the Lady Arwen off to Lothlorien for the winter.

"See, you always get caught because you're stupid." Elladan smiled smugly.

"I'm going to kill you!" Elrohir seethed and ran towards his brother.

"You have to catch me first!" Elladan called and ran out their shared bedroom door.

Erestor made his way back to where Elrond was making sure his daughter was ready for her journey, "Be safe my daughter." Elrond kissed his daughter's forehead and she was off.

"Your sons are at it again." Erestor said quietly as he approached Elrond.

"It seems lately they are going through a transition time, they have never fought like this before." Elrond turned to Erestor.

"What do you think is wrong with them?" Erestor asked.

"Absolutely nothing. I remember going through this with Elros. They will get over it though until then I'm afraid we will have to deal with many 'boy things'". Elrond smiled and headed back up to his study where Glorfindel was reading over old negotiation agreements between Mirkwood and Rivendell in case they needed to renew anything.

Legolas packed his clothes with out much care, throwing them all into one pack though, his weapons his took special care in packing.

"Are you going to need all those?" Nilhisie eyed the knives and the bow Legolas was intending to bring.

"What else am I supposed to do in Rivendell? Embroider?" Legolas sighed and carefully placed his knives on top of his pack.

The door flew open and Thranduil strode inside, "Ready to leave?"

"We are leaving now?!" Legolas couldn't believe this!

"Yes, come on." Thranduil grabbed Legolas's pack and walked back out the door.

"Well, see you." Nilhisie waved and left down the opposite direction.

"See you." Legolas sighed and followed his father.
