"I finally have a plan!" Legolas said, right after dinner, in the very secret hide out of the under the table.
"Well…what is it?!" Arwen asked, impatiently, chewing on a tart.
"Well, you know how when I don't go to bed on time, dada gives me time out?"
"Yes…"
"Well, I think grown up time out it jail, right?"
"Yes…" the twins said, simultaneously.
"So I figure that if we can get other grown ups to catch him staying up beyond his curfoo—"
"That would be curfew." Arwen corrected.
"Sounds like a sneeze…" Elladan remarked.
"Shut up! I'm prince, I get to talk!" Legolas said, threatening them with a curled up fist. "Then they'll hafta put him in jail!"
"Great idea, Leggy!!" Elladan said. "So how are you gonna make sure the other grown ups catch him?" he asked.
"Ah—now that's where the true plan comes into action." Legolas said mysteriously.
"Ooooh…what's the plan?" Arwen asked, curiously.
"I don't know yet. I was hoping you'd know." He said, as Arwen slapped her head, forgetting that she had a tart in her hand, and succeeding in getting jelly all over her forehead.

"Yes." Legolas said, nodding gravely. "I shall pretend to have a cold—"
"Elves don't get sick though, Leggy…"
"Oh. Darn. Then I shall pretend to um…"
"Need to go potty?" Elrohir suggested.
"Yes!! And that I've forgotten my way!"
"To the potty?" Arwen said, incredulously.
"Yes....don't ruin my perfect plan! And then, I shall wake up dada, and then once he's awake, shout for Elrond, and Elrond will put him in jail!"
"Splendid idea, Leggy!" Elladan commended
"I suppose it might work...." Arwen said.
