Baby-sitting Estel
Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up but I have been sick for the past few weeks with the flu and then my moms boyfriend came home {his is a trucker so he is out a lot} and then I got a 6 week old basset hound puppy. His name is Sir Percizle Von Speed Bump or Percy for short {my mom's boyfriend named him}. I also finally got my schoolbooks so I have to work on those also.
Disclaimer- wishes I did, but I don't own any of Tolkien's books or characters.
Summary- Elrond makes the twins and Legolas watch the energetic and prank loving 3 year old Estel.

"So what do you want to do now guys?" asked Elladan
" We can p'ay hide and go seek. It's my favorite game," cried estel as he tried to jump up and down on Elladan's hip completely unaware that this movement all most resulted in him being dropped.
" I don't know estel I don't really fell like playing hide and go seek right now," replied Elrohir with a mischievous gleam in eyes that usually meant trouble.
"Why?" demanded the stubborn toddler
" Because…I fell a tickle attack coming on," Elrohir said as he wiggled his fingers over Estel's stomach.
Estel barely had time to say "uh oh" before his brothers started to tickle him mercilessly.
They didn't stop until Estel couldn't breathe because he was laughing so hard. Even after they stopped Estel couldn't stop laughing and every time he finally got himself under a little bit control the twins would act like they were going to tickle him again, Thus sending him into another helpless fit of laughter that shook his entire body. After about ten minutes of this torture, as Estel called it, the brothers had finally calmed down enough to get up off the floor and walk back to the sitting room. By the time they got there Estel had forgotten about hide and go seek entirely as he tried to run as far ahead of his older brothers as he could without being called back. Once they got to the sitting room however he suddenly remembered and was not happy about the fact that he let his brothers sidetrack him.
"I want to play hide and go seek" whined estel "now!"
" We are most certainly not going to if you keep whining and ordering like that Estel" replied Elrohir gently " if you can ask nicely we will play if you cant we wont play at all"
This comment made estel think for a few minutes before answering, " brother would you peas p'ay hide and go seek with me?" asked Estel with huge puppy eyes.
" Well…I don't know Estel," teased Elladan as he winked at his younger twin " I don't feel like playing that. How about a story instead?"
"Yeah I don't feel like playing hide and go seek either. I think I could use a nice story and nap, how about you Estel you surely don't want to play hide and go seek do you?" asked Elrohir after finally catching on to his twins hint.
"But you said if I asked nicely you would p'ay with me and I did so you have to p'ay with me pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!" pleaded estel who was starting to get upset and very confused with his brothers. The twins however did not see that estel was getting upset and continued to tease him.
"No I don't really want to right now maybe later"
" I agree I really don't want to either. Cant it wait till after lunch?"
" I think it could"
"I do too"
" Why would you want to play that game, Estel it's really babyish."
" Yeah it is. You're a little too old to be playing that don't you think? Really is a baby game. I thought you were a big boy but I guess not."
By this time estel was extremely confused and hurt. He didn't like to be called a baby and he certainly didn't think t hide and go seek was a baby game. Ada must not either because he played it all the time with him and he never said that it or estel was a baby. He also realized that he had to go to the bathroom really really really bad. After he listened to a few more of his brother comments about which was more babyish the game or estel, he finally figured out that his brothers were just teasing him.
"'Ro I have to go to the bathroom right now" cried estel as he hoped in place trying hopelessly not to pee on himself. His brother had forgotten that estel was there though and were too busy arguing to hear their little brother cry. After a few more minutes of arguing the twins silently decided to take estel outside to play hide and go seek. However their plans were changed however as Elrohir reached down to pick up estel. " Don't. I'm wet!" Estel yelled.
" Estel why didn't you tell us you had to go to the bathroom?" asked Elladan as he took Estel's hand and started to lead him out the door to his room to clean and change him.
"I tried but you and 'ro didn't hear me!" complained Estel as he was lead out of the room by Elladan.
" I'm sorry Estel I should have heard you. Now come on so I can clean you up and change your clothes." apologized Elladan as he helped Estel up a flight of steps that led up to his room.
Once they got to Estel's room Elladan cleaned estel and then helped him change into fresh clothes. He turned around to put the dirty clothes in the hamper and looked back at estel who was supposed to be sitting on his unmade bed, but there was one problem…. Estel wasn't sitting there! Elladan looked all around the room and bathroom but couldn't find him anywhere. Now he was starting to feel panic rising up in him. He pushed it down with a hopeful thought that estel got bored and left to join Elrohir who was waiting for them in the sitting room. As Elladan reassured himself that estel was with his twin he ran down to the sitting room only to find Elrohir sitting in an overstuffed chair. Estel was nowhere in sight.
" Were…. Is… He?" questioned Elladan out of breath.
"Who? Do you mean estel?"
"Yes. He is here isn't he?" asked Elladan as he searched the room
"No I thought you went with him to go change his clothes?" said Elrohir as he watched Elladan search the room for the 3rd time" please don't tell me you lost him"
"I didn't loose him brother I was putting his clothes in the hamper and I turned to look at him and he wasn't there" replied Elladan as he looked behind the door.
"So if he isn't with you and he isn't with me then where is he?" said Elrohir as he tried to look calm.
"I have no idea Elrohir but we have to find him before he gets hurt or Ada finds out" Elladan threw over his shoulder as he walked out of the room.

Kind of a lame cliffhanger huh?
