Chapter 3: Fetch and Thranduil

All the valley of Rivendell was filled with barking. And all the residents were thinking along the same lines.

"PIPPIN!!!! SHUT UP!!!!" Aragorn barked (literally)

"Really Pip. Calm Down!" Merry groaned.

Pippin was busy running in circles around Elladan and Elohir who were holding a few balls for the 'dogs' repeating, "BALL, BALL, BALL, BALL, BALL, BALL!!!!!! THROW THE BALL THROW THE BALL!!!! COME ON THROW IT!!!! THROW IT!!! THROW IT!!!!"

"For Valar's sake, throw one of those stupid balls Elohir!!" Elladan moaned while trying to block out the sound of Pippin's barking (not knowing it was Pippin of course). Elohir threw ball as far as he could and Pippin took off after it like a bat out of hell.

"Whoa. Look at him go." Elohir said in a daze while his brother got out some table scraps. Pippin soon came back with the ball, jumped on Elohir and dropped the slobber covered ball on the elf's face. "EWWWWW!! GET IT OFF OF ME!!!!" Elohir shouted.

"HA! You sounded like a girl!!!" Elladan laughed, until Sam jumped on top pf him trying to get at the food. He was soon followed by Merry, Pippin and Frodo, all intent on the leftovers that they had scrapped together.

Legolas, Boromir, Gimli and Aragorn looked on in disgust as the hobbits devoured the food. Legolas shook his head. Aragorn looked at his friend, "What, it's not like we're going to get any better."

Legolas smiled, "I beg to differ. Watch this." Legolas got up and trotted over to the table and next to Arwen and then proceeded to give her the most pathetic look that one could ever see. Of course Arwen bought it.

"Oh, my poor baby. Here ya go!" Arwen stated happily as she gave him a large piece of meat form the table. Legolas went back over to his friends and began to eat.

"A prince, reduced to begging?" Boromir scoffed.

Legolas smirked, "Who's the one eating table scraps that have already been in their mouths? Besides, I use that all the time. And no offence Aragorn, but you're fiancé is very gullible.. Typical of a Noldor elf.." He continued eating but paused to growl at Pippin who was eyeing his food hungrily.

Aragorn frowned and went over to his beloved and tried the same look, unfortunately, he failed miserably and looked more like he had to go out for a walk. But, like Legolas had said, she was gullible.

Arwen looked at him, "What's the matter boy? You want something like you're friend got? Well. Ok, but don't tell my father!' she smiled as she handed him a leg of something.

Aragorn soon joined Legolas in their own little feast while Gimli tried the same look on another elf but only got a kick in the arse.

After lunch, they fellowship was lazing in the sun when Legolas' ears perked up. "Someone's coming on horseback. And very quickly." He took a few sniffs, smile and wagged his tail.

Elladan heard the horse too, "Ada! Someone is coming!"

Elrond went outside to see who it was only to see Thranduil ride up. "Mae govannen mellonin! (Well met my friend!) What brings you here to Rivendell?"

Unfortunately, Elrond realized Thranduil was not very happy a second too late, meaning when Thranduil let out a battle cry and tackled Elrond to the ground, pinning Elrond's arm to his back.

"THRANDUIL!!! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO BREAK MY ARM!?!?" Elrond shouted.

"ONLY BECAUSE I CANOT REACH YOUR NECK!!!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING SENDING MY ONLY SON OFF TO MORDOR!?!?!?!?!" Thranduil yelled.

"HE VOLUNTEERED!!!" Elrond protested.

"HE'S STILL A BLOODY MINOR YOU IDIOT!!!" Thranduil shouted.

Elrond gasped, "What? I thought he was older than 3,000?"

Thranduil sneered, "No, he's only 2,791. BUT EVEN IF HE WAS AN ADULT, YOU SENT MY ONLY SON TO HIS DEATH YOU MORON!!!! IT'S ONLY EVEN WORSE CONSIDERING THAT HE'S STILL A CHILD!!!"

Legolas barked and ran over to his father, knocking him off of Elrond and licked him on the face. Thranduil looked at the dog (not knowing he was looking at his son) and then saw the others. "Since when has Lord Elrond given refuge even to dogs?" Thranduil asked with and eyebrow raised. Legolas whimpered.

Thranduil looked at Legolas and smiled, "Alright, nice to meet you too, now let me up." Thranduil stood up and glared at Elrond, "My boy had better come back alive."

Elrond frowned, "Are you threatening me?"

Thranduil smirked, "So, you're not as dumb as you look."

Elrond sneered, "I wouldn't talk if I were you, Blondie!!!"

"Prissy Noldor!!!"

"Barbaric Sylvan!!!"

"Spoiled Gazebo Inhabitant!!!"

"Ignorant Cave Dwelling Idiot!!!

"Moronic Dress Wearing Sissy!!!"

"Inbred Ingrate!!!"

"Homosexual Ring Wearing Whore!!!"

Elrond gasped at this, "Why I." Elladan and Elohir stepped in.

"Come on father, break it up. And you Thranduil, calm down, We're sure Legolas will be fine."

Thranduil sighed, "Fine, but I swear, if Legolas dies, you, Elrond, shall suffer a fate worse than death." Before Elrond could ask what that was, Thranduil answered by throwing a knife at a wooden statue. The knife hit the statue's "manhood"

Elrond visibly gulped.
