AN: Alright. I know the last one gave you all a heart attack, but remember.
THEY WERE DRUNK! Alright. Here's the next chappie.
To See the Lights All Faded.
Chapter Five: Back in Tunics.
"Would you shut that racket down?!" Elrohir stumbled out of bed, trying to remember what in the world he did the night before. Legolas wasn't all too happy to see him pass by the open door to the blonde's room, but Elrohir really couldn't remember. After the dirty look from his friend, he headed to the livingroom, still screaming about the racket.
Sitting in the livingroom was Artemis, pajama bottoms and a tanktop on. It was obvious she had woken up and had an urge to put on something Legolas would wear today. She sat quietly, painting her nails in the couch, as Drops of Jupiter played quite loudly out of the stereo. Every so often you'd hear her voice softly sing along.
Elrohir walked right to the stereo, shutting it off. He frowned before pasting a fake smile over his face and taking a seat next to Artemis. After a moment, she looked up at him, arching a brow. Elrohir took on his older brother tone, though he was younger.
"Hun, you need to understand. This is not your house. Don't just walk right in. And certainly don't wake me up with that racket. Now I have a headache! Not to mention Legolas probably thinks I had the music on! Elladan slept through it somehow though.." Artemis laughed a bit at the comments.
"First, you have a headache because you were drunker than you can believe last night. Second, Elladan isn't in his room. The door is just closed. He's in the bathroom puking his guts out. And third, Legolas isn't mad at you because of the music. You got a little clingy last night." Elrohir went wide-eyed at the latter comment.
"No.. way.. I did not!" He wrinkled his nose. "That's sickening! Why didn't I just find a pretty waitress to make out with?! Geez.. Ugh.. nasty.." He seemed to go on and on. Artemis laughed.
"Legolas probably did look very waitress-like. I keep telling him to cut all that hair off and stop dressing like me. One of these days some guy's gonna ask him out." She snickered. Almost on cue, Legolas trudged his way down the hall, hands covering his face.
"Get away from me, Elrohir. You sicko!" He made his way to the couch, sitting down next to Artemis and burying his face in her arm. "Life stinks.. I want to go do something to make yesterday go away." Artemis shrugged as much as she could without disturbing Legolas.
"Lets go do something then. Eh.. probably not an amusement park with Elladan throwing up and all. Something like.." She paused, trying to think. "Mall? Eh.. no. Too many people. Hmm.. what about.." Elladan came running down the hall.
"I read the paper! Guess what?! Renissance festival is in town!" He grinned broadly, messing with his hair, a tunic and leggings on today. "I wanna go! And people won't think I'm a freak either!" Elrohir laughed.
"That's for sure. Why did the Val- I mean.. God ruin us with these stupid ears among mortals?" Artemis arched a brow.
"What aren't you guys telling me?" All three guys said nothing, running back down the hall to get ready. Legolas came back first, fingers quickly finishing braiding his hair. He went over to Artemis, plopping down in the couch next to her and immediately starting a braid crown in her's. (That's what they did to Eowyn in Edoras) Artemis jumped, not seeing Legolas until the last second.
"Geez.. scaring me out of my wits! What are you doing? Since when do you braid hair?! Geez.." Only seconds later, Elrohir and Elladan came down the hall again. Elladan had a dozen or so dresses piled in his arms. He put them down on Artemis' lap and went over to Elrohir on the other side of the room.
"Arwen left me with one too many of her precious dresses. Not to mention that ugly tiara she left with her daughter. Pity that girl died." He shrugged, never caring too much for his niece. She didn't like her uncle anyway.
When he was done braiding her hair, Legolas looked down at the dresses, picking one from the middle and holding it out to Artemis. He thought a moment, shook his head, put that dress back, and picked another. This continued a few times until he was satisfied with a simple bluish white dress of the Lorien Elves.
"This one. Its almost perfect. I rememb- eh.. I remember seeing it on a display rack a few weeks ago. Looked good on the shelf at least." He smiled a bit, glad he caught himself. "Hurry and put it on!" Artemis stood and headed down the hall to get dressed, but paused at the sound of three exhasperated sighs. Elrohir's voice cut in.
"Darn.. and I wanted a show. Oh well.. where's the window to the bathroom?" He grinned a bit, and everyone laughed except Artemis.
About five minutes later, all four were ready as could be. The Elf-ears certainly did finish the freakiness of the group, but nobody at the festival would say anything. Artemis felt quite awkward wearing a dress; especially one that came out of a guy's closet. Since when did they have dresses? She was looking strangely like Celebrian today though. Elrohir and Elladan couldn't help but miss their mother at the sight.
Elladan had put on his favorite tunic for the day: a midnight blue Elf-lord tunic. Elrohir on the other hand liked to be more close to nature. His was a pale green and appeared like something a rider would wear on a trip. Legolas of course, had to do his Elf-prince thing though. He wore a bright blue tunic, almost like that of the Lorien Elves as well, and was even considering getting his crown but thought against it.
And Artemis was glad to know she wasn't the only one that was going to look odd that day. Elrohir smiled at his brother. "Well.. she's certainly a mirror image of her. Though, I'm sure blonde and raven hair would never compare." Elladan nodded, walking out the door, followed by the rest.
