GRRRR!!! Folks, I am sooooo sorry that this chapter took so long. The
stupid fanfiction.net was down for so long and then it wouldn't let me post
and then they turned simple quotation marks into gibberish so for now, I
shall replace such things with ". I will replace this chapter as soon as I
can upload a document normally. *sigh* Think happy thoughts Elf-Girl, think
happy thoughts (comes across a picture of a shirtless Legolas) Ok, that is
a VERY happy thought! :D "drool"
Disclaimer: Nope, nope, nope. I still don't own it. If you know how I could
come to own it (or at least Legolas) please let me know. Until that day
when all my dreams come true, I am doing this for the pure pleasure of
writing (and getting such nice reviews). Chow ya'll! ;)
Chapter 5: "Can We Keep It?"
As odd as it seemed to Aragorn and Gimli, once again, the pranks of the previous hour was completely forgotten. Gimli was beginning to think that they had hit each other on the head so much that they all had short term memory problems. One thing was very odd now though, the twins were not there and they seemed to eat more by themselves then everyone else at the entire table combined. However, they showed up after 15 minutes. They were sweating, dirty and their clothes were a mess. Thranduil cocked his head when they entered. "Where have you two been?" he asked. "Uhhh... No where..." Said Cu. His twin joined in, "Yeah, no where at all. Oh ya dad? A rope an inch thick could hold a warg, right?"
Aragorn and Gimli almost chocked at this. "Maybe for five minutes..." All the color from the twin's faces drained at this news from their father. "Why?" Thranduil added when he realized what they said. "Uhhh... No reason..." they stammered but they were interrupted by a loud crashing sound that sounded a lot like a warg was knocking stuff over in their room. "Uhhh... Gotta go!" the twins said in unison before they dashed out. "I better follow them..." said Legolas as though it were normal for it to be this obvious that the twins were trying to keep a warg in their room. "I will go with you." said Thranduil, just as coolly. Aragorn and Gimli decided to go too.
They went into the twin's room and Gimli and Aragorn were horrified upon seeing it. It seemed to be (by all appearances) a dragon's den but without the riches. There were a few weapons here and there, not to mention a few things the twins obviously used for their pranks as well as a few of Gandalf's fireworks (undoubtedly taken without the wizard's consent). However, worst of all, there was a huge warg in the middle of the room with a makeshift muzzle. The twins were currently attaching a chain to its collar. They turned around. "Hi dad... He followed us home..." Cu began before Pilin' took over, "His name is Fluffy, can we keep him?"
Had the warg not been there, Aragorn would have laughed but obviously, "Fluffy" was present so he decided to shut up, certain that Thranduil would set things relatively strait. He was wrong. "Ask your mother but it is fine with me. Just take care of it and make sure it does not eat anyone." Aragorn's and Gimli's mouths must have dropped 16 inches. The twins, however, were elated. "YES!!!"
When they group came back down, Aragorn and Gimli were still gaping, Legolas was still muttering under his breath what an "Inbred Idiot" his father was, Thranduil was still being stupid and the twins were still doing their little dance they came up with when they were allowed to keep Fluffy. When they got to the table, Aragorn finally found his voice. "L-Legolas? Your father just let your brothers keep a pet warg that they have christened Fluffy..." Legolas sighed, "Yes, I am perfectly aware of what happened upstairs and it will catch up to father too after he has had his morning coffee. Until then, he is an idiot."
Gimli asked his question next, "Legolas, you called your father an 'Inbred Idiot'... I was just wondering, what does that make you?" Legolas glared at him but obviously decided not to do anything about it during the present time. Or at least, that was what they all thought... That is, until Gimli left the table (a good five minutes after Legolas did. Gimli shall soon learn to NEVER leave a room after Legolas if he has a grudge on you) and after he went out into the hallways. Gimli suddenly realized that the floor had been greased and he then heard a sound behind him... He turned around to see what it was only to have his face bashed in by a lead pipe on a string.
As if this were not enough, Gimli practically flew down the greased hallways until his body smashed through a window and landed outside in some stick brown gooey stuff that turned out to be molasses. When he tried to enter back into the palace, a bunch of feathers and hay fell upon him making him look very much like some swamp monster with feathers. Even when he finally got in, somehow, Legolas had rigged a torch of some kind above the door and set fire to Gimli's head. Gimli did not notice until he passed the hallway mirror. He screamed bloody murder and ran for the hallways bathroom. That was his next mistake.
Gimli tried to turn on the water in the sink only to learn that the pipes had been tampered with and would not work, so he looked drastically to the "John". If any of you had seen Home Alone II, then you know very well what happened next. He did a handstand on the bowl and slowly stuck his flaming head into a toilet filled with kerosene. The explosion could been seen from outside and Gimli came out of the bathroom smelling something like a glazed ham that had gone through a sewage treatment plant yet he looked like an orc.
Legolas, Cu, and Pilin were doubled over with laughter (Legolas had employed the help of his two brothers). Aragorn was laughing too. That is, until he slipped on the grease in the hallways and made a quick, unwanted and unexpected exit out the broken window.
OK! How was it? I know it was a way too short given I had such a long period of time but still... PLEASE, OH PLEASE, OH PLEASE, OH PLEASE, REVIEW!!!!!!! I NEED MORE IDEAS!!!! (Damn writer's block) Until next time, THAT"S ALL FOLKS!!!!!
