Song For None

I would like to thank Iarejedi for pointing out that I'm really lazy because I didn't go look to see what Elladan and Elrohir really looked like (dark brown hair and gray eyes). So for the sake of my story and because once and again I'm going to be lazy and not change all my chapters that mention their looks. I'm going to say that their hair gets darker when they get older and their eyes also change colour. So for now they have lighter hair and green/brown eyes. Thanks again for pointing that our Iarejedi!!

Estel was returning from playing outside all day when Elladan and Legolas came flying by him almost knocking him to the ground.

"You are in major trouble Elladan!!" Legolas yelled after Elladan and the two sopping wet elfes ran down the hall. Estel was left leaning against the wall in front of a very wet floor.

"Now that's something you don't see everyday. Were they wearing just their underclothes? Ew, I don't even want to know!" Estel shook his head to get that disturbing mental image out of his head and walked off down the hall when Nuquer and Maik came running by also dripping wet, not fully clothed, and carrying not only their own clothes but someone else's.

"I'm not even going to ask, I'm not." Estel tried to tell himself he didn't want to know and forced himself to walk the other way down the hall. He made it half way down when once again elfes came running in. This time it was Ven and Elrohir and, as the elfes before them, they were wet and half clothed and laughing down the hall.

Estel stopped for a minute. This was just too funny. He had to know. Estel turned and ran after the six elfes that had just passed him.

Elrond had finished in his room and was making his way to the dining area when he heard the shouts of the young elfes.

"Seems as though they have returned from their afternoon play. Vebor call them to dinner immediately please." Elrond wave his serving-elf down the hall to fetch the young elfes.

Vebor frowned and walked down the hall to where the six voices where know all coming from. Vebor stopped in the doorway to take in the most unusual scene.

Ven and Elrohir where standing near the doorway cheering on Elladan and Legolas who were on opposite sides of a table one or the other trying to get the other or get away. Maik and Nuquer where tossing their clothes back and forth over their heads taunting them playfully. And young Estel was in another corner also cheering the rowdy elfes on.

"Hey!" Vebor yelled to get the attention of the young elfes. They all stopped suddenly and turned toward the door. "Dinner is ready and you are all to be there immediately."

Only then did Vebor realize they weren't wearing all their clothes. He was about to inquire when Elrond showed up in the doorway.

"Would you all please-" Elrond stopped mid-sentence to take in the scene before him, "Why are you all not fully dressed? Never mind I don't want to know. I'll pretend I never saw any of this and I'll see you all at dinner in ten minutes." Elrond shook his head and motioned for Vebor to follow him.

Maik was the first to realize how ridiculous they all must have appeared. She was holding her own clothes and half of Elladan and half of Legolas's. She threw them their clothes and headed towards her room in a silent rush. Nuquer, on the other hand, bust out laughing at what had happened.

"You realize how funny we must have looked in front of you father!?" Nuquer handed the boys their clothes and headed out of the room.

"We could have gotten in a lot of trouble for that." Elladan took his clothes and lead the rest of the out of the room.

Exactly ten minutes later all six of the elfes and Estel where seated at their places at the dinner table. Elrond was still looking quite bemused but said nothing of the whole ordeal. The elfes and the young human ate as though nothing out of the ordinary had happen early.

After dinner they sat around the large table talking about many things. Elrond smiled happily as he and Vebor stood in the distance.

"They have finally truly broken the ice with each other." Elrond was happy the young elfes were all now close. He even saw Elrohir talking which surprised him a little. He knew of how shy his son was.

"They are the wildest bunch you have had in many years." Vebor didn't know if he should be proud of the young elfes for being so cordial with each other so soon or frightened of their rowdy antics.

"And it's only just begun, Vebor, only just begun." Elrond couldn't help but smile. He secretly hoped they raise mischief in Rivendell. After all Rivendell had laid peacefully for many, many ages now and could do with young elfes terrorizing the place.

~Elrond's point of View~

When I saw the seven kids in that room it was actually quite hilarious. I love young elfes and the ridiculous things they do. I was in a good mood they were all getting to know each other I didn't even think of reprimanding them for disturbing peace or not being properly clothed.

They were just kids having fun in the way only young people can. I know other elfes will start to wonder about me but I need someone to start a riot around here once in a while. I admit I enjoy the peace and serenity but after so many ages of it I need some excitement. The combination on elfes here this summer promises to cause a riot around Rivendell, which is exactly what it needs, a load of mischievous elfes.

Thanks again to Iarejedi for pointing out my silly booboo (my bad). If any else sees anything they would like to point out don't be shy! I can't promise I'll fix it (I'm lazy) but at least I know and I'll mention it!!
