Chapter Three
'That bloody blockheaded fool!' an irate Legolas yelled as he threw his wet tunic across the room. The rest of his clothes quickly followed, a new curse accompanying each article of clothing. Mumbling under his breath he stomped into the bathing room in search of a towel. He found a clean one and began to dry himself off. 'He makes me so angry. I just want to wrap my hands around his neck and-' A tentative knock sounded on the bedroom door. 'What!'
A female servant walked into the bedroom hesitantly. Seeing the room empty, she called, 'My lord?'
'Yes?' Legolas asked in a much calmed voice as he walked into the bedroom.
The young elf maiden blushed as she noted that he was naked except for a towel wrapped around his waist. Bowing her head in respect she replied, 'My lord, dinner will be ready soon.'
'Thank you.'
The elf maiden nodded in acknowledgement and left. Legolas stood staring at the door as he vehemently whispered, 'I will get that half-elf back for what he has done. When I am through with him, he is going to wish that he was never born!'

Legolas was walking towards the family dining room when an idea stuck him.
'That is it!'
The unexpected shout startled a passing servant. Legolas noticed the servant and quickly grabbed his arm.
'Tell me, where is Aragorn?' he asked the servant.
'I believe that he is in his and your bedroom. He is getting dressed for dinner.'
Legolas grinned. 'Excellent. Go fetch me a bucket of water and a rope. Bring them to my bedroom with haste.' The servant quickly rushed off to carry out the prince's orders. 'Now we will see who will be the one laughing.' He hurried back to his bedroom to wait for the servants return.
*****
'There,' Legolas whispered as he tied the end of the rope to the door handle on the outside of the bedroom door. The other end of the rope was tied to the base of the bucket that was hanging from the lantern that was above the door. Legolas stepped back to admire his handiwork and said, 'That should be adequate.' With one last glance at his little surprise for Aragorn, he walked away and headed for the family dining room.

Aragorn ran around the room in a hurry to get ready for dinner. He quickly finished drying his hair and dressed himself. He glanced at the clock that sat atop the mantle of the fireplace and groaned.
'I am late! Father is going to kill me.'
He rushed to the bedroom door an opened it, unaware of Legolas' surprise for him. The opening of the door pulled the rope back and caused the base of the bucket to lift. Suddenly Aragorn was hit with a great splash of ice cold water.
'By Elbereth!' he yelled as he was soaked by the water. He looked up and frowned at the now empty bucket above him. 'Leeeeegooooolaaaaaaaaas!'
*****
'Leeeeegooooolaaaaaaaaas!'
The shriek caused all occupants of the dining room to lift their heads from their plates and stare at the door.
'What was that all about?' Elrond asked to no one in particular.
'Legolas? Do you know?' Thranduil asked his grinning son.
In an innocent voice Legolas replied, 'No father, I have no idea what that was about.' A moment later the doors to the family dining room were slammed open and Legolas laughed at the sight before him. A drenched and very livid Aragorn was standing in the doorway. Aragorn was glaring heatedly at the laughing elf. Unexpectedly, Lord Elrond's laughter soon joined Legolas'. Aragorn turned to stare at his foster father incredulously.
'Father! This is not funny!' Aragorn shrieked.
Elrond only laughed harder. When he calmed down he apologized, 'I'm sorry my son. It's just that...' He wasn't able to finish before he started to laugh again.
With a grin upon his face, Elladan asked his foster brother, 'My dear brother, what happened to you?' Beside him Elrohir and Arwen were having a difficult time trying to cover up their own laughs.
'What happened? Legolas is what happened!' Aragorn bellowed.
'What is it that my son has done?' Thranduil asked. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand in an attempt to hide his laughter.
'He set a trap over our bedroom door. When I opened the door a bucket of water poured down on me!' This only caused the laughter to intensify. Aragorn growled at the laughing elves before turning and stalking out of the dining room.
