Archive: Sure, just tell me first so I know where it is.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I can't claim any of the lovely elves as mine, no matter how much I wish I could. Alas, a genius by the name of Tolkien found them first. So, I'm just borrowing them for a little while. I'll return them when I'm through, in relatively worn, but good condition.
Notes: Okay, so Elrohir finally gets a chance to apologize to Sam, will he accept? ^_~ This story has turned out way longer than expected. Originally it was only supposed to be about 4 or 5 chapters long, now it's already up to 7. It will most likely end at 8 or 9 though. We'll see. ^_^

Part 6: Forgiveness?Elrohir woke up groggily, his normally sleek black hair flowed in tangles down his shoulders and his eyes were filled with exhaustion. It was obvious to even the most casual observer that he had not rested well at all. He glanced out his window and noticed the lengthening shadows. Night had fallen. He shot up like lightning, a look of panic on his finely structured face. "Oh Elbereth! I hadn't meant to sleep that long! Please let the hobbit be safe!"
He hurriedly washed up and changed into his robes, for he still wore his travel dusted tunic. He roughly combed through his luxurious black hair and shot down the hall, running full-speed toward the doors leading out to the gardens.
As he approached though, he skidded to a sudden halt as he noticed two figures making their way to the house. One extremely short, the other very tall. He let out a long sigh of relief. 'He is unharmed then.'
He waited there for them hesitantly, prolonging the dreaded meeting. As they approached he stepped out from the shadows and gazed at them in apprehension.
"Elrohir…" Glorfindel acknowledged coldly.
"Glorfindel…" Elrohir nodded stiffly, before turning his attention on the hobbit. "I just wanted to say on behalf of my brother and myself, that I am truly sorry. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us." He glanced at the hobbit and smiled tentatively, his eyes pleading.
Glorfindel looked at him skeptically, but kept his mouth shut. Sam, on the other hand flashed him a brilliant smile.
"Sure, I mean, no real harm done, right? Though I was mighty frightened out there for awhile, all is well now."
Elrohir looked at him guiltily. "Amin hiraetha. I truly am."
Glorfindel didn't look too happy, to say the least. Sam may have forgiven them, but Glorfindel certainly had not.
As for Elrohir, his entire demeaner changed. It was as if a great burden was removed from his shoulders.
"Elrohir, I believe you should go fetch your brother and meet us in your father's study." Glorfindel said gravely.
This did not seem to affect Elrohir's newly returned carefree mood in the least. "Yes, of course, Glorfy." He said flashing his companions an impish grin.
Glorfindel turned red… and then purple. "ELROHIR!!! Dina! I've told you not to call me that!" He said furiously.
"Yes, of course Glorfy," Elrohir repeated, this time adding a mock bow to his act.
"Kela! Fetch your brother! Sii'!" Glorfindel growled.
Elrohir had already disappeared down the hall and around the corner, leaving a fuming Glorfindel and confused hobbit in his wake.
"Those two will be the death of me one day. They're worse than the Balrog." Glorfindel muttered under his breathe. "Well, Master Gamgee," he says turning to the hobbit standing puzzled at his side,"I would advise you to attend this little… meeting… as well."
"What for?" Sam asked bewildered.
"Well, if you wish to see the twins live safely through this night, it would be in their best interest if you were present."
Sam looked positively scandalized. "Surely Lord Elrond wouldn't harm his own sons!" He exclaimed.
"No, probably not, but I have a feeling he will be sorely tempted to before all is said and done."
Sam nodded. "I will go then."
The two made their way quietly to Lord Elrond's study.
-----
Elrohir stopped in front of Elladan's door and was about to knock, but thought better of it. Instead, he barged in unannounced.
"Brother, the hobbit has returned with Glorfindel."
Elladan sat up in the bed from where he had been reclining, peacefully reading a book. He grimaced upon hearing Elrohir's news. "Of all the ones to find him, it just HAD to be Glorfy." He grumbled.
"He has called us to Father's study."
Elladan looked at him blankly before suddenly letting out a few choice Dwarvish expletives. The Dwarves had a much more extensive and unrefined collection of curses than the Elves, and Elladan made good use of these.
"We had better go, 'Dan. We're in enough trouble as is."
Elladan just nodded, grudgingly. "Let us go then, to the Lion's den." He said, standing.
"Ilúvatar, help us." Elrohir muttered as they made their way silently to their father's study.

Translations:
Amin hiraetha = I'm sorry. (I love the Elvish words for I'm sorry. It's so pretty. Makes me wanna ask for forgiveness more often, not that I do anything wrong to forgive, mind you. ^_~)
Dina = Be silent
Kela = Go away
Sii' = Now
Please, I'm not fluent, if I have used any of the translations in a wrong way be sure to tell me so I can fix it.

Background Notes: When Glorfy says their worse than a Balrog, he would know, see prev. chapter for notes concerning this. ^_^ Of course, he beat the Balrog, as for getting one up on the twins… well, we'll see…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More Notes: Well, I was gonna wait until tomorrow to type/post this but I have some extra time and most of my normal reviewers have already gotten a chance to read the last chapter, so I figure a day early won't make much difference.
Now, who actually thought I'd have Sam hold a grudge on the twins? C'mon, I don't think it's in his nature to hold a grudge. Oh and I pretty much have the ending thought up, though if you guys have any small ideas on humorous mishaps that can happen when the twins are cooking feel free to suggest. I think the punishment will actually be funnier than the actual prank. Heh heh. At least funny for us, I don't think the twins will see it the same way. ^_~
And I apologize for short chapters, I know some people don't like them, but if I made them longer I'd procrastinate in typing them and you wouldn't have updates on as regular a basis. ^_^ Not to mention real-life time constraints. I pretty much write til I feel a good ending point happens. They are roughly 2-3 notebook pages long front and back. So when writing them, they look much longer than they do typed up. -_-; Hope it doesn't bother anyone.
Oh and if anyone is in the Philadelphia area and likes art, you should really check out the Manet and the Sea exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art(Center City). It goes on til May I think. I was there this morning and it's pretty cool. Though I probably would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't for a 4 page paper I now have to write on it for school. -_-; I really have to make it good after failing the exam last Thursday. I feel like crying. –sniffle-

To you guys who reviewed, I love you all and give you hugs and kisses till you shove me off. Here are my replies to a few of them. And I'm glad to hear your opinion. Feedback = Food for the Soul!
Note: If your not listed here it's because you a) reviewed after this chapter was posted or b) didn't put anything that needed a personal response. It doesn't mean I love you any less! ^,,^ Honest!
Celeb Gwilwileth: Yes, I am actually partial to the frilly aprons idea, I have a whole hilarious scenario planned out for it, but I won't give it away. At least not here. ^_~ Gotta leave you guys –some- surprises, ne?
Artemisa: Yes yes, poor everyone. ^_^ This is a G rated torture fic. Muahahaha. J/K. As for Elrond's reaction, that comes in next chapter, I already have it half written. Lets just say Elrond is already frazzled from other happenings occurring in his abode(you'll find out that too next chapter) and is less than pleased to have more placed in his hands… He may even need to leave the punishment for another in his household, *hint hint* Someone that knows the twins very well indeed and knows just how to punish them. ^_~
rabidsamfan: Yep, well, something gives our Sam strength to get through all that is to come. I figure what better way to give him confidence than for one of his esteemed Elves to give him encouragement. ^_^ As for sleep? What is such a thing? I haven't known it for 1 and a half years, since I started college. Animation majors(at my school at least) are known to spend every waking (and sometimes non-waking) moment in the studios at school. I'm lucky most nights to be in bed by 2. Good thing they have lounges for naps set up around campus. As for catching up with real life… not happening. At least not for awhile yet, and even I need to escape sometimes. I do that by giving you my stories and basking in your praises. It keeps me going. ^_^ Better than caffeine, even. And what do you mean Sugar's not a food group? Coulda fooled me. Heh heh. ^_~
Layla: Yes, they do have to do something nice for him & the other hobbits, though not necessarily enjoyable for them. ^_~ Having them show him around is much too tame a punishment methinks. We have to make them suffer a little. ^_^
James: I'm rather fond of that line myself, though I'm not quite sure where it came from. Thank the muses. ^_^ Yes I have a good idea where I can stick Lindir for his cameo role, though he may not have any speaking parts…
