Author's Other Note: OMYGOSH!!! I just saw Black Hawk Down for the first time ever Monday night! Orlando Bloom looks so darn cute you just wanna hug him and give him a big kiss. *sighs and hugs and kisses her one of her many piccies of him* and he did so not fall, the helicopter was shot and it jerked! Darn you for lying on the poor, sweet boy who looks good half-bald and he looks SO CUTE in camouflage. He looks so cute in anything might I add ;) eww, you sick, sick person! I meant with a beard even!

Sorry it took so long for this chapter to get out but you see it's quite long. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 7: Party In Rivendell
It was bright and early the next morning as Elrond climbed out of bed.
He quickly washed his face with a basin of water and changed into his daytime robes.
Elrond paused in front of his mirror to make sure his hair was neat and then headed out the door.
Birds were chirping merrily in the boughs of the trees and Elrond smiled to himself in relief, as that and the sound of leaves rustling in the gentle morning breeze were the only sounds.
Thank Elbereth those girls were still sleeping.or so he thought.
As Elrond headed down the hallway he really began to wonder how his house could possibly be so quiet. He knew Legolas was an early riser and when was the last time Aragorn had actually laid down on a bed and slept???? (A\N: Think the Two Towers.)
Arwen was most definitely getting her "beauty sleep", Elladan and Elrohir had just returned from their long journey so it was understandable they were resting late and Gandalf was most likely out smoking his pipe in the garden.
Elrond blanched at that thought. Most horrible for one's skin, especially for an old wizard.
And his servants? Surely his servants would be up now and scuttling about.
Then as he neared the hall he heard voices, laughter and loud rustling.
Elrond groaned but quickly hastened closer to see exactly what it was.
He entered the Hall to find Becky and Missy arguing.
Everyone stood around eying them curiously except for Legolas and Aragorn who were positioned on top of Elrond's dining table holding a long wall scroll of cloth between them.
Pippin and Merry were bouncing about in the folds of the cloth and giggling madly.
Frodo and Sam were watching them with smiles on their faces.
Gandalf, Gimli and Boromir were seated at the far end of the table and Arwen was snoozing on the table wearing her Daddy's blue corn facemask.
All Elrond's servants stood around watching them and whispering to each other.
"No, no no Missy," Becky was saying. "I told you that the writing was going to be gold on both sides, not blue on one side and gold on the other!"
"Well I would've heard you if every other word was not a sigh and a drool over Legolas!" Missy shot back.
"He's prettyful. He deserves to be worshipped," Becky said.
"What is going on here?" Elrond asked, storming over to the cousins.
Becky gestured to Legolas and Aragorn who tossed Merry and Pippin out of the cloth scroll and held it up.
Elrond could see that it was really a banner and this side of the banner had gold writing.
"Party in the House of Elrond!" Elrond read. "What?!"
"We're having a party for you," Missy explained. "Since you've been such a dahling and let us become part of the Fellowship we've decided to throw you a party."
"What color do you prefer Elrondie?" Becky asked, getting up on the table with Aragorn and Legolas. "Gold?" She made Aragorn and Legolas flip it over. "Or blue?"
"Actually I prefer purple," Elrond said before he could stop himself.
"Had a feeling so," Becky said and then she called to the Elves. "Bring some more gold glitter. And some purple from my suitcases. Oh and those little packs of letters. Get me more gold!"
An Elf handed her a tube of gold glitter and more gold letters while several others hurried off in search of the purple glitter.
"Arwen!" Becky poked Arwen in the back. "Time to start sticking again."
She reluctantly woke up but jumped up instantly when she saw her daddy.
"Arwen?!!! You are in this mischief too?" Elrond asked, his jaw almost scraping the ground.
"Whoops," Arwen said but as soon as Becky handed her the gold glitter and letters she got to work removing the blue letters.
"Ooh and the glue!" Becky tossed Arwen the glue.
As soon as Arwen pulled the cover of the glue poor Lord Elrond dropped to his knees, hands clamped firmly over his nose.
"Here, have a clothes clip," Missy tossed Elrond a blue clothes clip which she pulled out from her pocket.
Elrond clamped it on his nose, following the example from everyone else in the room.
"What is that awful scent?" Elrond asked, getting to his feet a bit embarrassed.
"Don't worry Elrondie. It's just glue. We forgot to buy the non-scented one," Becky said.
"C'mon Arwen. Hurry up!" Becky instructed her. "The party's tonight and we still have to send out the invitations!"
"Ooh! Invitations!" Missy said and dashed out of the room.
She was back seconds later with three Elves behind her all holding two bags of envelopes each.
"C'mon Becky let's get to work," Missy said and the two cousins began furiously writing up the invitations.
"Wait," Becky said and then she turned to Elrond, "Exactly how many Elves are there in Rivendell?"
Elrond paused for a second, "About twenty thousand!"
Becky promptly fainted in a not-so-graceful heap on the floor.
She immediately leapt back up and glared at Legolas and Aragorn.
"Either one of you was supposed to catch me," Becky said. "Let's try that again."
Becky swooned again dramatically but this time she landed on a cushion.
"Well thank you whoever did that," Becky said, getting to her feet and shot another glare at Aragorn and Legolas who both stifled a laugh.
"You're welcome," Frodo said, gazing at her with his big, cute hobbity blue eyes.
"That's it. You're getting a hug!" Becky dove at him and gave the hobbit a big bone-crushing hug. "I love you, you big blue-eyed short hobbit."
"Did you not say you loved me first?" Legolas asked, looking a bit puzzled.
"Ooh, I love you more!" Becky immediately let go of Frodo and leaping up onto the table she grabbed Legolas into a hug, and they would've fallen to the ground if Aragorn hadn't grabbed Legolas' arm.
"And you too Hot Ranger Dude," Becky blew him a kiss.
"Hey, he's mine!" Missy leapt up onto the table and grabbed Aragorn.
"He's not yours, cousin. He's J.R.R. Tolkien's," Becky scolded. "Thank you J.R.R. Tolkien for creating him. And Legolas! Ooh lots of love to him for creating my favorite Elfy. And Boromir! And Frodo! And-"
"We get the point," Missy said.
"I do not know of any J.R.R. Tolkien," Aragorn said.
"Didn't expect you would, darling," Becky said. "C'mon you'll we have to get this show on the road."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~12 hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (6:30 p.m.)
Becky hustled around making the final touches on everything that needed fixing.
She had managed to get some Rivendell Elves to be the orchestra and her, Missy and Sam had only returned a half hour ago from delivering the invitations.
Becky and Missy hurried into the kitchens to check on the food.
"How's the lembas coming along?" Becky asked, peering into the lembas side of the kitchen where hot trays of lembas were being placed on the table every few minutes.
"They are coming along quite well," a She-Elf replied as she hurried to place another tray on the table. "Would you like to sample one?"
"Sure!" Becky grabbed one and nibbled on it delicately. "Ooh! Lembas!"
She grabbed several handfuls and stuffed them into her pockets and took off.
"You'll have to excuse her. She's a little crazy," Missy said but she suddenly grabbed a handful and took off after her cousin.
"I think everything's ready," Becky said, bouncing back out into the hall and examining the banner.
"The only thing we need to do is to bathe and change our clothes and we'll be ready," Missy said and the two cousins stuffing the remaining lembas in their mouths, ran up the stairs to the second floor where their rooms were located.
They were halfway there when Arwen materialized as if from thin air in front of them. She was holding two robe-y-thingies that were white and trimmed with gold.
"Hello girls," Arwen said, smiling what looked like a very evil smile. "Where might I ask are you two going?"
"To change our clothes," Becky replied, suspiciously eying the robes in Arwen's hands. "What are those for?"
"These are for wearing," Arwen said, her evil smile getting eviler.
"NO!" Becky shrieked. "I'm not putting on that thing!"
"Hey, didn't you always say their dresses were cool?" Missy said but then clapped her hand over her mouth. "Oops."
Becky glared daggers at Missy.
"C'mon, Becky," Arwen pleaded. "Daddy insisted. He said that it was the least he could do for you since you were throwing up such a lavish party. And it's one of the finest qualities of dresses I've ever seen. It was made by the Lothlórien Elves."
"Okay," Becky grabbed one of the dresses out of Arwen's hands. "If it was made by Lothlórien Elves it rules in my book."
Missy grabbed the other dress and each cousin dashed off to her own bathroom (which they'd only just found out they actually had in Rivendell this morning!)
Arwen stood patiently waiting when they came running back half-an-hour later fully dressed.
"See that wasn't so hard," Arwen said. "They don't look half bad on you."
"Well that's a compliment and a half," Becky said sarcastically.
"It's a bit long for Missy but it'll have to do," Arwen said. "Come. Let's go make one final check of things."
"Ooh. Wait," Becky said. "We've got things for the party."
She winked at Missy who headed back to their rooms and came back lugging a heavy suitcase.
"What is in there?" Arwen eyed the suitcase suspiciously.
Becky and Missy had long since explained to everyone that suitcases were meant to hold things.
"Fun stuff," Becky and Missy giggled madly.
"By the way Arwen where are your brothers?" Becky asked conversationally.
"They are resting in their rooms," Arwen said, waving a hand down to the North end of the hallway.
Becky shrieked and took off in that direction, screaming, "Elladan! Elrohir!" at the top of her lungs.
"You shouldn't have told her that," Missy said but nevertheless she and Arwen hurried off after Becky.
Further down the North end of the hallway two doors flung open at the sound of an unfamiliar voice calling their names.
Elladan poked his head out his door to see Elrohir doing the same and rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"Huh?" Elrohir asked. "I heard someone call my name."
"Me too," Elladan said but they didn't have to wonder anymore as Becky came running down the hallway and seeing the two Half Elves she stopped and screamed.
"OMYGOSH!" Becky stopped and stared with wide eyes at the twins who stared back at her. "You'll are so hot!"
She looked back and forth between the twins deciding whom to hug first.
"Hello," Elrohir said. "I don't believe we've met. Were you the ones that called us?"
"No. I believe that was Becky," Missy said, coming to a running stop behind Becky. "Hello there Elladan and Elrohir. Now who's who?"
"I am Elladan," Elladan said, pointing to himself. "And that is my brother Elrohir."
"You look so much alike," Missy said.
"Duh. They're twins," Becky replied rolling her eyes.
"Who are you?" Elrohir asked.
"I'm Becky and that's Missy," Becky introduced. "I love you guys! You'll are so cute in The Return of The King!"
"They don't really look like Elves," Missy said, bounding up to Elrohir and pulling on his ear. "The ears are definitely real. They have dark hair. I thought all Elves were blond."
"Of course they're Elves. Though they're Halfelven," Becky said. "Like Arwen and Elrondie." Becky pulled Missy away from Elrohir who rubbed his ear and winced.
"Elrondie?" Elladan repeated.
"Ada," Arwen explained, appearing behind Becky and Missy. Legolas, Aragorn, Elrond and another golden haired Elf closely followed her.
"Ooh," Becky said, completely abandoning gaping at Elrohir and Elladan and turned her attention on Legolas who looked adorable in a long light green velvet robe.
She launched herself at him and hugged him. "You look so cute, I could eat you with a spoon!"
"Aww," Missy said and she whipped out one of their disposable cameras and snapped a picture of them.
Legolas blinked in amazement and shook his head quickly to get rid of all the little dancing arrows around his head.
"Hello Legolas," Elladan said. "How have you been? I haven't seen you for a very long time."
"I am fine. As you can see I have had my hands quite full," Legolas said, trying to detach Becky.
"Ah Estel. It has been a long time, little brother," Elrohir said and he and Elladan stepped forward to embrace Aragorn.
"Hey! I'm NOT little," Aragorn said indignantly.
"That's so cute!" Becky and Missy said simultaneously.
The camera whirred again and Elladan, Elrohir and Aragorn were blinded for a moment by the flash.
"Ah I see that you have found my sons," Elrond said, coming forward. He was dressed in purple (!!) robes. "Alas they shall not be joining us for the party."
He began to usher them back into their respective rooms but Elrohir paused in the doorway.
"What party? Nobody informed me of a party," he said.
"I didn't hear of a party either. Where is it to be held?" Elladan asked.
"Right downstairs in the Hall," Becky said. "No one told you?"
"No." Elrohir said, looking at his Ada.
"My dear sons I was trying to save you but you have brought this fate upon yourselves," Elrond said, shaking his head and tears actually came to his eyes. "If you want to have this fate then you shall attend."
"Ada?" Elladan asked, looking at Elrond strangely.
"Hello Lord Glorfindel," Elrohir said, looking past Legolas, Aragorn, Elrond and Arwen to the tall blond Elf who stood there.
"Glorfindel? Where? Where?" Becky's head snapped around and she quickly scanned the area.
She spotted the tall golden haired Elf who stood behind while everyone talked and tackled him.
"OMYGOSH! You're so hot! Glorfindel!" Becky smothered him with kisses. "I love you so much. You so rule! I love your part in the book. Let it be known to the world that Glorfindel really saved Frodo! You're soo tall!"
Glorfindel gazed down at Becky his head cocked a little to the left.
"Do I know you?" he asked.
"Nope. I'm Becky," Becky said. "That's my cousin Missy. And I love you so much."
"She has lot of love to give," Elrohir said to Elladan and they both laughed.
"That's because I love you all!" Becky said. "Now if you don't mind let's par-tay!!!"
Elladan and Elrohir (darlings that they are) volunteered to drag the heavy suitcase Missy had brought from their rooms downstairs to the party, which had just begun.
Elrond hurried about to meet and mingle with his guests. The hobbits were already positioned by the food table; Boromir was talking with the Gondorian humans; Gimli was talking to the Dwarves and all the Dwarves were glaring at the Elves that surrounded them; and Gandalf was sitting in the corner talking to Bilbo.
Elladan and Elrohir set the suitcase by the food table and Becky and Missy promptly burst it open and began digging through the contents.
They came up with bags and bags of mini Twix bars, Milky Ways, Snickers and packs of M&M's.
Becky and Missy grabbed six bags each and trotted over to Gandalf.
Becky whispered something into his ear and he reluctantly nodded.
Gandalf let out a piercing whistle which caused everyone's head to spin around and focus on him.
There was a loud thumping of hooves and Asfaloth appeared in the hallway, a piece of paper in his mouth.
Glorfindel stroked his horse's mane, took the paper and skimmed it quickly. With a slight smile, he handed it to Gandalf who read it aloud.
"Dear Gandalf, what do you want? I cannot come at the moment, as am very busy looking for horse-wife on the Pelennor Fields. Send back message with Asfaloth. Your friend, Shadowfax."
Gandalf smiled and then burst into a fit of raucous laughter that stunned everyone in The House of Elrond.
Becky and Missy also burst into hysterical laughter because they knew the real reason of Gandalf's whistle.
"Dear Asfaloth tell Shadowfax that I was not calling for him. I was merely trying to get everyone's attention," Gandalf told Asfaloth who nodded and took off.
"Well now that we have you're attention," Missy said and she gestured to Becky.
"Yes. We have something to give to you. We promise that it is very, very good," Becky said. "If the Lord of Rivendell likes it-" everyone looked at Elrond who nodded vigorously. "You'll should love it!"
They ripped into the packs of candy and began throwing handfuls at the crowds.
The masses dove for the candy, pushing each other aside roughly and acting very much unlike Elves (and whatever else they were.)
Click! Becky snapped a picture.
Elrond was down on his knees, grabbing candy by the handfuls and stuffing them into his robes.
Click! She snapped several more.
Glorfindel had just discovered the delights of a Milky Way bar and was shoving Elrond roughly aside (choosing to ignore the fact that Elrond was the Lord of Rivendell.)
Elladan and Elrohir were watching their father in absolute shock but they decided it must be fun and they began grabbing handfuls themselves.
The hobbits were stuffing as much candy in their mouths as they could hold.
Merry and Pippin were fighting over a Milky Way bar.
Everyone had gotten in on the scavenging, even Gandalf who was surreptitiously slipping Milky Way bars into his cloak and Boromir who looked as if he'd never before seen food.
Arwen was crawling about on her hands and knees, trying to steal some from her daddy who wasn't sharing.
Aragorn was also on his hands and knees in a most un-kingly posture, scavenging for chocolate.
Legolas was flitting in and out of the crowds, quick as lightning taking all the candy he could find.
Becky seeing that lovely Elven prince running out of candy called to him.
"Oh my lovely Legolas!" she shrieked loudly causing everyone to stop fighting over candy and stare at her. "CATCH!"
She flung an entire bag of candy at him and he deftly caught it.
Legolas caught the murderous glint in everyone's eyes and he immediately took off running and Elrond, Glorfindel and the rest of the population of Rivendell took off after him.
Becky and Missy giggled but they too joined the running crowd of Elves.
"LEGOLAS GREENLEAF! I demand you get back here right now and let me confiscate that chocolate or you'll never be welcome in Rivendell again!" Elrond howled after Legolas who was a good few paces in front of him.
"Yeah what Daddy said," Arwen said, coming panting along.
Aragorn and Boromir outpaced her as they slowly began gaining on Legolas.
Aragorn's fingers grazed the back of Legolas' hair.
"Hey! Don't touch the hair if you haven't thoroughly scrubbed your hands with soap," Legolas shouted over his shoulder and he quickened his pace.
"Legolas darling. Slow down!" Becky said, struggling to run as her legs were getting tired. "I can't run this fast with all this chocolate. Dang."
The entire crowd except Legolas and Aragorn stopped and circled Becky and Missy.
"You have chocolate?" Elladan said, getting a maniacal glint in his eyes. "Where? Where?"
"LEGOLAS! ARAGORN! Catch!" Becky and Missy tossed the remaining bags of chocolate at the two friends who had stopped when they heard their names. Once again they took off as the crowd launched at them again.
"Hey! Rivendell!" Becky shouted a sudden idea coming to her head and she nudged Missy in the ribs. "Smile!"
They immediately set off their cameras making sure to turn on the flash.
The population of Rivendell blinked wildly and struggled to free their heads of that blinding light.
"Run my darlings run!" Becky shouted at Legolas and Aragorn who didn't need a second reminding.
The Elf and Ranger took off into the night. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heheehheeeee. Well did you like or not? I had fun writing this chappy. If you don't like it please tell me in your review. Thanx to my lovely family (Missy, Aunty Marcy!). Oh and to Missy, where is IT? WHERE IS IT? I checked my inbox and it's NOT there. Hmm????

"You shouldn't have told her that," Missy said but nevertheless she and Arwen hurried off after Becky.
Further down the North end of the hallway two doors flung open at the sound of an unfamiliar voice calling their names.
Elladan poked his head out his door to see Elrohir doing the same and rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"Huh?" Elrohir asked. "I heard someone call my name."
"Me too," Elladan said but they didn't have to wonder anymore as Becky came running down the hallway and seeing the two Half Elves she stopped and screamed.
"OMYGOSH!" Becky stopped and stared with wide eyes at the twins who stared back at her. "You'll are so hot!"
She looked back and forth between the twins deciding whom to hug first.
"Hello," Elrohir said. "I don't believe we've met. Were you the ones that called us?"
"No. I believe that was Becky," Missy said, coming to a running stop behind Becky. "Hello there Elladan and Elrohir. Now who's who?"
"I am Elladan," Elladan said, pointing to himself. "And that is my brother Elrohir."
"You look so much alike," Missy said.
"Duh. They're twins," Becky replied rolling her eyes.
"Who are you?" Elrohir asked.
"I'm Becky and that's Missy," Becky introduced. "I love you guys! You'll are so cute in The Return of The King!"
"They don't really look like Elves," Missy said, bounding up to Elrohir and pulling on his ear. "The ears are definitely real. They have dark hair. I thought all Elves were blond."
"Of course they're Elves. Though they're Halfelven," Becky said. "Like Arwen and Elrondie." Becky pulled Missy away from Elrohir who rubbed his ear and winced.
"Elrondie?" Elladan repeated.
"Ada," Arwen explained, appearing behind Becky and Missy. Legolas, Aragorn, Elrond and another golden haired Elf closely followed her.
"Ooh," Becky said, completely abandoning gaping at Elrohir and Elladan and turned her attention on Legolas who looked adorable in a long light green velvet robe.
She launched herself at him and hugged him. "You look so cute, I could eat you with a spoon!"
"Aww," Missy said and she whipped out one of their disposable cameras and snapped a picture of them.
Legolas blinked in amazement and shook his head quickly to get rid of all the little dancing arrows around his head.
"Hello Legolas," Elladan said. "How have you been? I haven't seen you for a very long time."
"I am fine. As you can see I have had my hands quite full," Legolas said, trying to detach Becky.
"Ah Estel. It has been a long time, little brother," Elrohir said and he and Elladan stepped forward to embrace Aragorn.
"Hey! I'm NOT little," Aragorn said indignantly.
"That's so cute!" Becky and Missy said simultaneously.
The camera whirred again and Elladan, Elrohir and Aragorn were blinded for a moment by the flash.
"Ah I see that you have found my sons," Elrond said, coming forward. He was dressed in purple (!!) robes. "Alas they shall not be joining us for the party."
He began to usher them back into their respective rooms but Elrohir paused in the doorway.
"What party? Nobody informed me of a party," he said.
"I didn't hear of a party either. Where is it to be held?" Elladan asked.
"Right downstairs in the Hall," Becky said. "No one told you?"
"No." Elrohir said, looking at his Ada.
"My dear sons I was trying to save you but you have brought this fate upon yourselves," Elrond said, shaking his head and tears actually came to his eyes. "If you want to have this fate then you shall attend."
"Ada?" Elladan asked, looking at Elrond strangely.
"Hello Lord Glorfindel," Elrohir said, looking past Legolas, Aragorn, Elrond and Arwen to the tall blond Elf who stood there.
"Glorfindel? Where? Where?" Becky's head snapped around and she quickly scanned the area.
She spotted the tall golden haired Elf who stood behind while everyone talked and tackled him.
"OMYGOSH! You're so hot! Glorfindel!" Becky smothered him with kisses. "I love you so much. You so rule! I love your part in the book. Let it be known to the world that Glorfindel really saved Frodo! You're soo tall!"
Glorfindel gazed down at Becky his head cocked a little to the left.
"Do I know you?" he asked.
"Nope. I'm Becky," Becky said. "That's my cousin Missy. And I love you so much."
"She has lot of love to give," Elrohir said to Elladan and they both laughed.
"That's because I love you all!" Becky said. "Now if you don't mind let's par-tay!!!"
Elladan and Elrohir (darlings that they are) volunteered to drag the heavy suitcase Missy had brought from their rooms downstairs to the party, which had just begun.
Elrond hurried about to meet and mingle with his guests. The hobbits were already positioned by the food table; Boromir was talking with the Gondorian humans; Gimli was talking to the Dwarves and all the Dwarves were glaring at the Elves that surrounded them; and Gandalf was sitting in the corner talking to Bilbo.
Elladan and Elrohir set the suitcase by the food table and Becky and Missy promptly burst it open and began digging through the contents.
They came up with bags and bags of mini Twix bars, Milky Ways, Snickers and packs of M&M's.
Becky and Missy grabbed six bags each and trotted over to Gandalf.
Becky whispered something into his ear and he reluctantly nodded.
Gandalf let out a piercing whistle which caused everyone's head to spin around and focus on him.
There was a loud thumping of hooves and Asfaloth appeared in the hallway, a piece of paper in his mouth.
Glorfindel stroked his horse's mane, took the paper and skimmed it quickly. With a slight smile, he handed it to Gandalf who read it aloud.
"Dear Gandalf, what do you want? I cannot come at the moment, as am very busy looking for horse-wife on the Pelennor Fields. Send back message with Asfaloth. Your friend, Shadowfax."
Gandalf smiled and then burst into a fit of raucous laughter that stunned everyone in The House of Elrond.
Becky and Missy also burst into hysterical laughter because they knew the real reason of Gandalf's whistle.
"Dear Asfaloth tell Shadowfax that I was not calling for him. I was merely trying to get everyone's attention," Gandalf told Asfaloth who nodded and took off.
"Well now that we have you're attention," Missy said and she gestured to Becky.
"Yes. We have something to give to you. We promise that it is very, very good," Becky said. "If the Lord of Rivendell likes it-" everyone looked at Elrond who nodded vigorously. "You'll should love it!"
They ripped into the packs of candy and began throwing handfuls at the crowds.
The masses dove for the candy, pushing each other aside roughly and acting very much unlike Elves (and whatever else they were.)
Click! Becky snapped a picture.
Elrond was down on his knees, grabbing candy by the handfuls and stuffing them into his robes.
Click! She snapped several more.
Glorfindel had just discovered the delights of a Milky Way bar and was shoving Elrond roughly aside (choosing to ignore the fact that Elrond was the Lord of Rivendell.)
Elladan and Elrohir were watching their father in absolute shock but they decided it must be fun and they began grabbing handfuls themselves.
The hobbits were stuffing as much candy in their mouths as they could hold.
Merry and Pippin were fighting over a Milky Way bar.
Everyone had gotten in on the scavenging, even Gandalf who was surreptitiously slipping Milky Way bars into his cloak and Boromir who looked as if he'd never before seen food.
Arwen was crawling about on her hands and knees, trying to steal some from her daddy who wasn't sharing.
Aragorn was also on his hands and knees in a most un-kingly posture, scavenging for chocolate.
Legolas was flitting in and out of the crowds, quick as lightning taking all the candy he could find.
Becky seeing that lovely Elven prince running out of candy called to him.
"Oh my lovely Legolas!" she shrieked loudly causing everyone to stop fighting over candy and stare at her. "CATCH!"
She flung an entire bag of candy at him and he deftly caught it.
Legolas caught the murderous glint in everyone's eyes and he immediately took off running and Elrond, Glorfindel and the rest of the population of Rivendell took off after him.
Becky and Missy giggled but they too joined the running crowd of Elves.
"LEGOLAS GREENLEAF! I demand you get back here right now and let me confiscate that chocolate or you'll never be welcome in Rivendell again!" Elrond howled after Legolas who was a good few paces in front of him.
"Yeah what Daddy said," Arwen said, coming panting along.
Aragorn and Boromir outpaced her as they slowly began gaining on Legolas.
Aragorn's fingers grazed the back of Legolas' hair.
"Hey! Don't touch the hair if you haven't thoroughly scrubbed your hands with soap," Legolas shouted over his shoulder and he quickened his pace.
"Legolas darling. Slow down!" Becky said, struggling to run as her legs were getting tired. "I can't run this fast with all this chocolate. Dang."
The entire crowd except Legolas and Aragorn stopped and circled Becky and Missy.
"You have chocolate?" Elladan said, getting a maniacal glint in his eyes. "Where? Where?"
"LEGOLAS! ARAGORN! Catch!" Becky and Missy tossed the remaining bags of chocolate at the two friends who had stopped when they heard their names. Once again they took off as the crowd launched at them again.
"Hey! Rivendell!" Becky shouted a sudden idea coming to her head and she nudged Missy in the ribs. "Smile!"
They immediately set off their cameras making sure to turn on the flash.
The population of Rivendell blinked wildly and struggled to free their heads of that blinding light.
"Run my darlings run!" Becky shouted at Legolas and Aragorn who didn't need a second reminding.
The Elf and Ranger took off into the night. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heheehheeeee. Well did you like or not? I had fun writing this chappy.
