Review answers:
to Tarilenea: I love Glorfindel too. And I'm happy to tell you that there's going to be more Glorfindel in this chapter and in some chapters to come.
to Haldir's Heart and Soul: I don't know if the Lembas is any good. I've never tried out the recipe myself. My mother said it would probably be too liquid. But I'm planning to try out something like it sometime.
to Amthramiel: I haven't written anything about how the Lembas tastes but I think they probably did well. I'm glad you like it.
to mistopurr: hanks so much for the compliment. I love your stories too. I love Elflings too. And Legolas is my hero. I'm so glad you like it and that you're actually reading my story, as I'm rather new to writing fanfiction.
Author's note: Now this chapter was written in a great hurry and it's a rather random idea. I wanted to get this up today, because I'm disappearing on a school trip tomorrow for a week. So the next chapter might take me a while longer. I was a rather nervous wreck and completely annoyed with packing while I wrote this. I hope you like it anyway. So enough of this.
On with the action.
Chapter three: the blueberry incident
It had been raining for two days solid and it didn't look like it was going to stop soon. Elladan, Legolas and Elrohir, all extremely bored, were sitting on the twin's bed, staring blankly out of the window at the dark grey sky and the sheets of rain, falling down incessantly.
The three elflings had played everything they could think of the last two days and had now run out of ideas.
They were oh so bored.
Elladan yawned. "What time is it?"
"Half past two."
"Let's go and find something to do." Legolas suggested.
They jumped from the bed and exited the room. the three elflings took the way to the library, where they knew they would find Elrond, at a run. They burst through the door and nearly knocked over Erestor who was standing on a ladder in front of a very high bookshelf.
"Ada, we're bored." whined Elladan and Elrohir.
"Why don't you play a game of cards?" Elrond suggested, his eyes not leaving the map he was pouring over.
"We've done that already." Legolas replied.
"Can't you read us a story, Ada?" Elrohir pleaded.
"I'm sorry, ion-nin, I haven't got time" Elrond replied apologetically. "But you could help me so sort these maps."
The three elflings looked at each other, alarmed.
"I... I think... I just had an idea." Elladan said quickly. He grabbed Elrohir and Legolas by the arm and the three of them disappeared out off the library as quickly as possible.
"What are we going to do now?" Legolas asked.
They were sitting on the table in the kitchen now, eating blueberries out of a bowl.
"There must be something we can do." Elladan said with exasperation.
"Something funny." Legolas added.
They sat together in silent contemplation for a while, plopping blueberries into their mouths every now and then.
"I thought of something just now." Elrohir suddenly said. He turned to his twin. "Do you remember that prank Glorfindel told us about? That which he and Ada pulled on Grandfather once?"
The one after which Grandfather chased them through all of Lothlorien for three hours? Yes, I do remember and I always wanted to try it out myself." Elladan replied gleefully.
Legolas, not understanding a thing, looked confused from one twin to the other. "What are you on about?" he asked.
"I'll give you a hint." Elladan said. "It involves dyeing someone's hair."
Legolas thought for a moment. "The blueberries?" he asked bewildered.
"Exactly. The blueberries" Elladan replied.
"Glorfindel is on border patrol today, isn't he?" Elrohir asked.
"Yes, he said he'd be back tomorrow morning. So we've got loads of time." Elladan replied.
"How are we going to do it?" Legolas asked.
"Hm... Let's think. He mustn't notice 'til it's too late." Elrohir mused.
"In any case, we'll have to extract the juice from the blueberries." Elladan pointed out.
"Oh, I know how to do that." Legolas put in excitedly.
"We could pour the juice into his shampoo. (A./N.: No idea if they have shampoo in LotR. But hey, this is Fanfiction and they are civilised Elves.)
"That could work."
"Let's get going then and hope that no one notices what we're up to" Legolas said, giggling.
"Glorfindel is going to kill us." said Elladan.
"Well, he shouldn't have told us this story." Elrohir replied. "Now, Legolas,. Do that extracting then.
Legolas grabbed a thin tea towel and a bowl. He then wrapped the blueberries into the towel and squeezed them, letting the juice drip into the bowl.
"Now we've got the juice, all we have to do is get into Glorfindel's room unnoticed."
They sneaked out off the kitchen and made sure that no one was in sight. Then they went upstairs to Glorfindel's room. They opened the door and Legolas and Elrohir slipped inside the room while Elladan stood watch outside the door. Inside the room the other two pranksters searched the connected washroom for Glorfindel's shampoo.
"Got it."Elrohir said. "You've got the juice?"
"Yes, it's here." Legolas replied. "Unscrew the top, so I can pour it in."
Legolas poured the blueberry juice into the shampoo bottle and Elrohir put the top back on. hen he shook the bottle.
"That's done then. Now we only have to wait for Glorfy to come back." Elrohir said.
The next morning, around nine 'o clock, Glorfindel came back from his patrol. As he always did, he went straight o his room and let in a hot bath. He undressed, got into the warm water and relaxed for a few minutes. Ten he wet his hair and put shampoo straight on it. He closed his eyes and massaged the shampoo into his hair. When he was done with that he ducked under water to wash out the foam.
This was what he always did, after coming home from a journey. Little did he know that this habit would turn out slightly different this time. Glorfindel wrapped a towel around his hair and got dressed. He then grabbed his hairbrush and brushed his hair. Afterwards he went to stand in front of the mirror. When he saw his hair, he gasped. 'No, it couldn't. It couldn't be... blue? ' He closed his eyes and shook his head. Then he looked back into the mirror.
And yes, his hair was still blue. Shocked, Glorfindel ran into the wash room and opened his shampoo bottle. It was blue and it smelled of... blueberries.
"ELLADAN, ELROHIR, LEGOLAS!" Gorfindel bellowed into the hall.
The three little ones, who had been sitting at the bottom of the stairs and had been waiting for Glorfindel's reaction, jumped up and dashed off as far as possible from Glorfindel, shrieking and giggling.
Glorfindel stormed out of his room and down the hallway and nearly knocked over Erestor.
"Oh, Glorfindell. You're back. Very good. I wanted to ask..." Erestor stopped in mid sentence and stared at the Elf in front of him. Then he burst out, laughing.
"Stop laughing, Erestor." Glorfindel ground out threateningly." "MY HAIR IS BLUE!"
"That's stating the obvious." Erestor replied smugly.
Glorfindel shot him a death glare and stormed off again, down the hall.
In his study, Elrond had heard the commotion outside and he didn't have to wait long for Glorfindel to come into his study, seething and slamming the door behind him.
"Glorfindel. Whatever happened?" Elrond asked, a smile laying on his lips.
"What happened? WHAT HAPPENED?" Glorfindel nearly exploded. "Your sons, Elrond, your sons happened . And Thranduil's son. Look at my hair.
Elrond was rather taken aback by the other Elf's outburst, but then he chuckled. remembering a similar incident.
"Calm down, Glorfindel. They used blueberry juice, didn't they?"
"Yes, they did." Glorfindel replied, still terribly annoyed.
"You know, mellon-nin, I remember an incident when Celeborn was in quite the same situation as you are now. Did you ever tell the little ones that story?"
"Oh, goodness. You're right." Glorfindel gasped.
"Now calm down." Elrond soothed. "I think I know how to get your hair back to normal. And maybe you should be more careful about what you tell the kids net time.
