Song For None

After Estel had left five of the six elfes had aroused themselves from their sleep.
"I have to say that is the most interesting way I have ever seen elfes sleep." Maik was talking to Legolas and Elladan who were sprawled in their uncomfortable looking positions.
"Well, you know, sleeping in different places helps with your um-"
Elladan cut Legolas off, "Nothing, you're just weird."
"She was talking to you too." Legolas smiled back at Elladan.
Ven was desperately trying to fix her hair in Elrond's full-length mirror. She straightened her robes and just pulled all her hair back into a braid.
"Stop worrying about how you look Ven. Guys think girls always look cute when they wake up in the morning and their hair is everywhere and their robes aren't straight." Legolas stood up stretching.
"Are you lying?" Ven turned to look at him.
"I kid you not." Legolas concluded and fixed his own wrinkly clothes.
"Ven, help me wake sleeping beauty here." Maik pointed to the still sleeping Nuquer on the bed.
"It's not the sleeping potion is it? Is she going to be alright?" Elladan walked over to Nuquer and looked at her.
"The girl sleeps like the dead. Nothing can wake her up if she doesn't want it to." Ven yanked the covers off Nuquer and Nuquer responded by curling up on her side with a small moan.
"She's looks so nice and quiet lying there, to bad she really isn't like that." Legolas kidded.
"On the count of three I want all of you to tickle her. Ok?" Maik and Ven took spots at the front of the bed and the three boys at the end, "One, two, three!"
All five elfes went in for a tickle attack and Nuquer bolted up in bed, "WHAT!?" Nuquer looked around startled to see her five friends standing there, "Why in the world did you do that?!" "We wanted to give a nice big wake up." Ven smiled and smoothed a stray hair on Nuquer's head.
"Oh thanks, you guys can't be normal and tap me on the shoulder and say something nice like 'good morning sunshine, wake up'?" Nuquer shook her head and slowly climbed out of bed.
Vebor came in to check on the elfes.
"I just wanted to see how things were going." Vebor looked at Nuquer and motioned for her to fix her sleeve on her torn robe.
"Oh, yea sorry. I forgot about that." Nuquer quickly pulled the sleeve up and blushed slightly. Nuquer always had a small crush on Vebor, there was just something about him.
Vebor smiled and left the room.
"Nuquer, Maik, do you two want to go down to the waterfall today?" Ven asked.
"Which one?" Elladan cut in before the two girls could answer.
"Uh, one you don't know and, I wasn't asking you thank you!" Ven looked at the nosey Elladan.
"Yeah sure." Nuquer shrugged.
"I'm in." Maik nodded.
"Guess we'll see you boys later then?" Nuquer waved an absent-minded good- bye to the boys and followed Maik and Ven out of the room.
"I bet they are talking about Arwen's 'secret' water fall." Elrohir said.
"Oh yea, I bet they are." Elladan agreed.
"Well, then there's only one thing to do." Legolas stated.
"What?" Elladan and Elrohir looked at their friend knowing he was hatching a plan.
"Isn't it obvious? Follow them there." Legolas smiled and motioned for the twins to follow.

Elrond spent the rest of the morning trying to search threw his documents on what kind of men might be attacking the elfes. They must be servants of Sauron. Elrond found no answers in all his search.

Nuquer, Maik, and Ven all went to their rooms to change into proper bathing outfits. They all meet together again in the main hall to go to Arwen's waterfall that she had told them about before they came.
Unbeknownst to them they were being followed by four mischievous boys (the fourth being Estel, he somehow managed to get included on this fun).
The girls led the boys right down into a perfect hiding spot in the bushes where they could see and hear all the girls did.
"Wow, this is beautiful." Nuquer dropped her towel on a rock a safe space away from the water. Maik and Ven also put their towels and their over- clothes there as well.
The waterfall was actually a small pool of crystal clear water with smooth rocks filling the bottom and edges of the pool. The waterfall was a small one coming from a higher part of the stream over a medium size smooth rock. It was positively gorgeous.
"I can't believe how beautiful this place is!" Maik stepped into the cool water and let the small ripples splash over her toes.
"I have to admit it is pretty." Legolas whispered to Elladan and Elrohir, who nodded in agreement, glad somebody said something so they didn't feel quite so dumb about thinking that.
Ven then pulled off her over-clothes and followed Maik into the water. Elrohir couldn't help but stare at Ven who he had taken a great liking to.
Both Legolas and Elladan were waiting for Nuquer to strip down to her under- clothes though.
Nuquer struggled for a while but finally managed to get her top robe off.
"Nuquer, are you sure you don't need any help?" Ven called from the water.
"I'm fine, you guys know I like to do things for myself!" Nuquer shook her head at her two friends and struggled some more with her second robe.
Finally to Elladan and Legolas's delight Nuquer peeled off her robe to revel a clingy white under-robe.
"Yes, you know what happens to white when it get wet!" Elladan high-fived Legolas.
"What happens to white when it gets wet?" Estel questioned.
"Don't be a half-wit, little brother, it turns see-though!" Elladan lightly slapped Estel on the back of his head.
"Maybe I shouldn't watch then?" Estel asked politely.
"Good idea, cover your eyes." Legolas placed Estel's hands securely over his eyes.
Both Elladan and Legolas watched Nuquer step into the shallow part of the pool.
