Author's Note: I'm am so very sorry for not updating in the last forever:
I've had writer's block. Am I forgiven? Eh...apparently not. At any rate,
I got the idea for this chapter from one of the reviews: thank you so much
for the idea!! On another note: Aladdin and Weird Al songs do not belong
to me. Though I can say the original Power Ranger series belonged to my
dad (well not really, he was the director. But it's more fun toying with
disclaimers, now isn't it?), so ha!! Evil disclaimers....

The next day, the twins, Arwen, and Legolas made way to their secret under the table hide out, Arwen looking particularly angry.
"I hope it's a good idea this time, 'cause I don't think I can survive another time out." Arwen huffed.
"Oh, it's perfect!" Legolas said. "There is no room for a mistake!"
Both the twins rolled their eyes.
"Oh, fine then, don't trust me! I can do it myself! And then lets see who's rolling their eyes when I'm king, and you have to bow to me!" Legolas said, standing up (and bumping his head on the table).
"Fine, fine, don't throw a tantrum..." Elladan said, "I'll help if you promise me that when you're king you'll let me be your royal advisor!"
"What's a royal advisor?" Legolas asked.
"I don't know. But they're always the bad guys in the movies, like in Aladdin." Elladan said.
"You mean you want to be evil? You're not going to betray me, are you?" Legolas asked, horrified.
"Of course not, Leggy." Elladan said, crossing his fingers.
"Hey! Crossies don't count!" Elrohir said, only to get hit in the stomach by Elladan.
"Crossies?" Legolas asked. "No fair!"
"Oh, 'Rohir's being silly. In Rivendell, crossies mean that we give our promise." Elladan said.
"Oh, okay. So can I tell you my plan?" Legolas said, sitting down again.
They nodded, even Arwen, who was busy playing with Legolas's green Power Ranger.
"Okay. Well, do you remember when that lady, Galady El sent ada a letter?" Legolas said.
"Galady-el?" Arwen said, looking up from giving the Power Ranger a make over. "Oh! You mean Granny Galadriel, don't you!"
"She's your granny?!" Legolas asked.
"Sure! She brings us presents whenever she comes!" Elrohir said.
"Oh. I want presents too...." Legolas muttered. "Well, when ada got the letter, he said he had 'important business with her lady', whatever that meant."
"I think that means that they in love." Arwen said.
"No, because Granny's married already, remember?" Elladan corrected.
"So? The course of true love has no barriers..." Arwen said dreamily.
"What the heck is she talking about?" Elrohir asked.
"Must be something she heard...." Legolas said. "But can I get back to my plan? Well, ada went away, and didn't come back for a few days." Legolas finished triumphantly.
"That's brilliant!" Elladan said. "I don't get it."
Legolas rolled his eyes. "It means that if tell him he has 'important business' he'll go away."
"But he'll come back, you know." Arwen said. "And who's going to write the letter?"
"That's a minor detail, when he comes back, I'll be king, and it'll be too late. And I can write the letter!"
Arwen raised her eyebrows, and looked into Legolas's blue-as-the-water- in-my-toilet eyes. "We trusting you not to get us in trouble again." She said, in a failed attempt to sound scary.
