A/N Mm'Kay, here's the next chapter. Sorry for the delay, I went through all the seven levels of Hell, because ff.net made it look like shit, so I had to change it to html format, and that's why it looks a bit different... Anyways. Thanks to beta reader Elisabeth Celebros. :)

Happy Molecule: I see your point and I kind of agree with you. But on the other hand I've always thought that twins (especially Elladan and Elrohir) have this special connection, which makes them best friends and very close to each other. And I think Elrond should understand that, since he has (okay, had.) a twin brother himself. Thank you for the review! :D

"Do what?" Elladan asked with a terrified voice.

"You heard me."

"Not really. Can you repeat it, please?"

"My plan is for us to go into Glorfindel's chambers and put some red berries in his shampoo, so next time he washes his hair… He will be a complete red head."

Elladan could not believe what he heard. Thousands of thoughts rushed through his head and he did not know which question he should ask first.

"So you honestly mean that we are going to sneak into Glorfindel's bedroom, who, by the way, happens to be a respected Lord and a close friend to Ada, and mess with his private belongings?? And why do you even consider it? Are you out of your mind?"

"Actually, it was you that gave me the idea!"

"How??"

"You so cruelly reminded me about the incident with the wine bottles, and then I remembered how angry I was at Glorfindel for telling Ada…" Elrohir trailed off, frowning at the unpleasant memory.

"Of course he told Ada! I mean… What you did was wrong, and this is even worse! How could we possibly sneak into his bathroom, when he is sleeping in the bedroom? And I ask again: have you completely lost your mind?? Think of his reaction when he notices that he has red hair!"

"No, I have not lost my mind, just listen to me!" Elrohir said, leaning forward to stare at his twin. "If we can do it without being caught, he will probably know it was us, but he cannot tell Ada we did it, because he has no proof! And Ada has been in here, he knows that we are sleeping peacefully in here now…"

Elladan cut him off with a cough and said, "There is no way in Arda we can sneak through his bedroom while he is sleeping there. He will wake up immediately!"

"But that is if he really is sleeping there…" Elrohir began with a self-confident smile.

"What do you mean?"

"All I am saying is that there is a chance that perhaps he is not in his room. He may not be sleeping now."

Elladan sighed and shifted position in the bed.

"And how do we now that?"

"We knock on his door, of course." Elrohir said, as if it was obvious.

"Knock on his door?? Would not that be extremely foolish? I thought you could come up with at least something better than that! And what do we say if he answers and opens the door?"

"Then let us come up with something to say; but I assure you: he will not be in his bed!"

"If you say so…" Elladan said, shaking his head at his crazy twin.

Elrohir jumped out of the bed, dragging Elladan with him.

"First we need some berries… We can get that in the kitchen, I think."

"A second expedition to the kitchen tonight?" Elladan asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Yes, it looks that way, doesn't it? I can hold the candle, just follow me. And walk as quietly you can!"

Elrohir lit a candle and opened the door to the corridor with Elladan right behind him. After a short argument about which direction the kitchen was in, they quietly started walking. After many turns, they came to a staircase and the kitchen was in the corridor to the right below the staircase. Elrohir turned to his brother.

"You can stay here and keep watch; meanwhile, I'll get the berries."

Elladan did not have the time to answer before his brother half ran down the stairs with the candle in his hand. Eventually, all Elladan could see was a light spot moving below the stairs, soon disappearing in a corridor. He stood all alone in the dark, slightly shuddering and thinking. / Why am I doing this, again? Oh yes. I promised. Why must I have him as a brother? But he is at least more fun than Arwen…/ He sat down on the first freezing step. / How are we supposed to accomplish this? It will never work! And why am I so easily talked into to something like this? And when is he going to be finished in the kitchen? I have been waiting forever. /

A couple of minutes later, Elladan saw the light coming out of the corridor again. He stood up and waited for his brother to come up the stairs.

"Finally!" He exclaimed.

"Look, I found them." Elrohir said and showed his palm. There was seven round, red, berries which looked like they begged to be eaten.

"Good."

The twins started to walk again in the direction they had come, Elrohir holding both the candle and the berries. They turned round a couple of corners and eventually they neared Glorfindel's bedroom.

"Wait," Elladan whispered and stopped.

"What?" Elrohir whispered back.

Elladan turned around and walked back a few steps until he stood in front of two massive and ornately decorated wooden doors. One of the doors was half open.

"What?" Elrohir asked again.

"Shh…"

Elladan strained his ears and stood completely still. He had thought he had heard something move in the library. He moved closer to the opening and there it was again! From the library came the faint sound of someone turning a page in a book. Slowly, Elladan looked into the room. Moonlight flowed in through a large window to the left, and nearly the whole library was lit by the silvery light. Elladan narrowed his eyes and looked around until his eyes fell upon a figure sitting in a chair with his back facing the doors. Elladan immediately recognized the figure as Glorfindel, although he just saw his back. The golden hair that had earned the elf his name was not something one could easily confuse for another's. Glorfindel was absorbed in a book and it did not look like he would be going away anytime soon. Elladan slowly with-drew his head and gesticulated to his twin to keep walking. When they reached next corner, Elrohir spoke:

"What did you see in there?"

"It was Glorfindel, reading!" Elladan smiled. "You were right; he is not in his bedroom tonight."

"Of course I was right! I am always right!" Elrohir said, very satisfied at the turn of events.

"That could be discussed."

"Well, let us continue. Perhaps Glorfindel will decide to take the book to his bed."

The twins continued and after a few minutes they finally found themselves in the correct corridor. Elrohir carefully opened the door he knew was Glorfindel's, and slid into the room closely followed by Elladan, who quietly closed the door. Finally they could take a breather. Elladan looked questioningly at Elrohir.

"So… Now we are here. What next?"
