DISCLAIMER: I don't own them, although they own me.
Author Notes: Hi everyone! I want to thank all the persons who had review, you will have very good Karma, please keep doing it. As for the questions:
Dragon: A sweatdropping is a very complicate concept, I really think that it deserves a thesis ^_^ but basically is a little sweat drop that appears on the head of the persons when people around says something crazy, funny or out of character. It's like rolling the eyes or saying "gods, what was that?"
Xun Err: I'm totally agree with you ^_^ Muahahahaha! Believe me, our favorites elven princes are going to suffer a lot with the brat and of course Estel will suffer with those three.
English is not my mother language, sorry for the mistakes.
PLEASE REVIEW I will really appreciate it. If you are a fanfic writer you know what a review means. So please do it. And if you are not, do it anyway and make a girl happy (very happy)
Chapter I
An eleven-year-old Estel looked suspiciously at the three young elves next to him. Elrond was telling the princes the last warning before he and his two most trustful counselors depart to Lothlorién. The twins and Legolas were nodding absently at every word that the Lord was saying.
"You are listening, right?" Again the three nodded, Elrond raised an elegant eyebrow and sighed "If something happens to Rivendell or Estel while you are in charge..."
"Father, nothing will happen" Elrohir interrupted the Lord
"Elrohir, how many times I have told you that you must not interrupt someone when he is talking?"
"I don't know, I lost the count after the three hundred time" Everyone facefaulted
"I give up. Just try to behave, the three of you"
"Goodbye father, have a nice journey" Estel said when Elrond approached him
"Goodbye Estel, take care of yourself, I don't trust these three" the lord said glancing at the princes
"What?!" the three said at unison
"Don't shout"
"Father, you hurt our feelings" Elladan said pretending to be hurt and looking at his twin and Legolas "Right?" but the two of them were whispering something and missed the comment
"Right?" Elladan repeated again loudly, Elrohir and Legolas turned to looked at him
"We don't know what you are talking about, but... right, sure, why not?" Elladan turned smiling at his father. Glorfindel shook his head and Erestor rolled his eyes
"We better go before I retract leaving you in charge"
"Iluviatar help all the elves in Rivendell" whispered Erestor. The princes pouted
"Legolas, since I am going to meet your father in Lothlorién, do you want me to say him something?" Legolas smiled sheepishly
"I almost forget it, I'll be grateful if you give him this" he said giving the lord a letter
"How can you forget it?" Elrohir teased
"You was distracting me"
"Me?!"
"You" Elladan nodded seriously standing next to the prince of Mirkwood
"Very well, you two will know what a distraction is" and saying this he threw himself onto them knocking the three on the floor and he began to tickle them as the others counterattack. Instantly the three began to laughed helplessly
"Elbereth!" Erestor said sweatdroping
"Worse than little elflings" Glorfindel said with a double sweatdrop. Estel looked at them with incredulous eyes, no matter how many times he saw the crazy behavior of the princes he always was surprise that those eccentric elves were in fact three of the most skillful warriors on Middle Earth, not to mention the heirs of two elven realms.
"Behave!" Elrond said. The three stopped and help each other to stand up, Elrond sighed "Remember, no troubles"
"Sure father" The twins said smoothing their cloths
"Enjoy your visit" Legolas added pushing a braid behind his pointy ear
"Goodbye!" said the three cheerily waiving their hands. The older elves looked at them for a moment and then rode their horses and went away.
"Did you listen what he said?" Estel asked turning to face at the elves
"Of course not! He have been saying the same warnings since we first met" Elrhoir said
"We know them by soul now" Legolas added
"I think they are far away now" Elladan said gazing at the horizon and turned to looked at the human "You heard it, little brother, no troubles"
"Oh, like if it is my fault every time something happens"
"What did that supposed to mean?" Legolas asked him getting closer, Estel took a step back, he didn't want to end in the lake again
"N-nothing" the three got closer and closer "Really" the princes didn't stopped. Estel looked at them nervously, and before they grabbed him and threw him into the lake he turned around and ran. The twins and Legolas smiled deviously and stopped their advance
"It worked, now we are alone" Elladan commented
"Yes, he certainly is reaching the house by now" Legolas laughed and the twins did the same. When they took their breath again they looked at each other grinning
"Well, we are alone now...Let's do something" Elrohir said and the three disappeared among the trees of Imladris
*****
"Estel, have you seen the lords?" Uraith, the manservant of Elrond's house asked the human. After reaching the house in an admirable speed, Estel wait for the princes to shown up but they never did. After an hour of waiting he got tired and went to practice with his sword, when the sky went darker and the night approached, he went into the house, and started reading. It was night now and they didn't had show up.
"No, I haven't. But I'm hungry"
"You wouldn't dine without us, would you?" Elladan asked entering the house
"Where have you been? I wait for you for an hour! It's not like you to let me leave like that" Legolas raised an eyebrow "Usually you throw me into the lake" the human explained
"Oh, that. Well we had things to do" Elrohir said
"But since you seem to want it..." Legolas said grinning
"No, wait... I didn't said that"
*****
Uraith just shook his head when he saw the three elven princes chatting cheerfully followed by a soaked Estel.
"We will dine now" Elrohir said to the manservant
"Go and change Estel, you can get sick" Elldan looked at the human
"Sure, you don't want that father knows that I got sick while you were in charge" Estel said grinning "Achuuuuu"
"That wasn't a sneeze" Legolas said sweatdroping "Stop pretending and go change"
"Why? I'm hungry and I want to eat now"
"We are babysitting you, so you do as we say" Elladan pushed him to the stairs
"I'm not a baby!"
"Yes you are" Elrohir said
"No, I'm not"
"You are"
"I'm not"
"You are"
"I'm not"
"Are"
"Not"
"Are"
"Not"
"By the Valar Elrohir! Stop arguing with a child" Elladan said amazed, Legolas chuckled "You are over three millennia older than him"
"Are" whispered Elrohir before turning to follow his twin and friend to the dinning room
"Not"
"Are" and he left Estel alone.
*****
Estel looked at the three elves at the table, they looked very happy and were sharing as usual the meal oblivious to the staring human
"I wonder where have they been all day?" he thought, then he remembered the rumors about the three been lovers. He had heard it since he was five, although he didn't knew what a lover meant. When he grew up, he too started to get intrigued with their relation. Where they in fact lovers? Or just friends? Nobody could answer him, not even Elrond or Thranduil and he started to think that Galadriel and Mithrandir didn't know as well. As for the young princes, they never denied nor confirm the rumors and their behavior didn't help, for sometimes they acted like best friends, but others... "I will find out" he whispered to himself very low "Now that father, Glorfindel and Erestor aren't here they will let they guard down. I'm sure they aren't going to suspect of me" oh, yes, he will be their shadow, they wouldn't get ride off him until he finds out. He started laughing deviously. The three elves looked at him sweatdroping
"And they call us crazy..." Legolas said
TBC...
