Ok, I've got a problem and so this A/N might just get a bit longer. Sorry, but it's important. If anyone has PMed me and I haven't replied I'm terribly sorry. The problem is, I don't get any emails from any more. Review Alerts tend to take 3 days to some weeks and everything else might turn up some time, but I'm not sure. I thought it's the email address and so I changed it to one I know that it works properly. That was about an hour ago and I still didn't get a verification email. So, if you PMed me, I'd be glad if you would write it again as an email.
Sorry!

Chapter 2 – Arrival and scheming
"Lord Elrond, Lord Celeborn, Lady Galadriel, welcome.", King Thranduil greeted them with a smile on his face.
They returned the greetings and Elrond introduced his family, followed by Thranduil's introduction of his.
The twins and Arwen soon realized that this was going to take a while and examined their surroundings and especially the people surrounding them. The King's older son, Orodredh, was married and seemed to be rather normal and his younger brother, Legolas, seemed to be even worse. He watched his father and the visitors closely and seemed to absorb every word they said.
An hour later, when the exchange of courtesies was finally over and they had all moved into their rooms and refreshed, the twins and Arwen were sitting on Elladan's bed and talking.
"Did you see that Legolas? The way he watched the grown-ups?", Elladan said excited.
They still referred to their parents and "people like them" as grown-ups or adults, even though, they, too, were grown-up. But for them being grown up was a state of mind and not of the body, which made them definitely not grown up.
"He's attractive.", Arwen considered.
"Arwen, he's boring!", Elrohir protested.
Then the penny dropped.
"Oh, you mean…"
Arwen smiled at him innocently.
"Do you think Fin will play along?"
Arwen had asked Glorfindel to be her partner for the ball held the next evening and he had said yes.
"I think he will. He will never admit it, but he enjoys our pranks, at least as long as someone else is the victim."
"Do you think we should tell him what we are planning?"
"No. Then he would have to play the adult and stop us or even tell Ada and Nana."
"Right."
"Have you got someone for the ball now?"
"Yeah, we asked those two maids of grandnana.", Elrohir informed her.
"They're both married!"
"And? It's not that we want to seduce them or anything –"
"-at least not them.", Elladan interrupted his brother.
"Their husbands are in Lorien and we wanted to be nice and so we take them to the ball. Nothing bad there."
"Any objections?"
"No. But I bet I've got Legolas before you two even found a girl."
"You'd love that!"
