(A/N Hello, cant actually think of anything funny to say, which is quite
bad as the whole point of this story is to make people laugh but there you
go, anyway here is the next chapter. Reviews will be answered at the end,
I'll try to answer all the reviews I get (if I get any) but if I don't I
apologise in advance.)
In Which Arwen Tells Her Tale and Everyone, Barring Legolas, Laugh Hysterically At It
Arwen took a deep breath and began her tale
"Well this happened many years ago, long before your parents, parents were born Estel, and before I started spending most of my time at Lorien. The twins and I were staying at Mirkwood for the Yén festival and it was going well until the day after the festival when the twins decided to get ambushed by some spiders and in the battle that ensued succeeded in breaking various bones in their bodies. Well needless to say ada, after lecturing them on not being safe out in the wild, told them that they were to stay in bed for at least a week. Now this left me and Legolas very bored as the twins were particularly good at thinking up 'fun' things for us to do, such as attempting to ride our horses while standing on our heads, dive bombing from the tallest tree in the forest into a lake below, and free falling out of other trees almost as tall.
We were at a loss of what to do, we spent a morning sitting on the balcony making suggestions, but they had all either been done before or were to reckless even for us. Then Legolas seemingly thought of a good way to relieve us of our boredom, at least until the sleeping draught that ada had unwittingly fed the twins wore off so that we could ask them for ideas. He suggested that he showed me some of the nicer places in Mirkwood, but unfortunately for him he didn't hide the rather mischievous glint that came into his eyes when he said that and so I was aware that he was planning something and was on my guard. Well we went for our walk and at first I could not see any traps or anything to raise my suspicion. That is until we came to a rather boggy area of land that was really very ugly compared to the rest of the places we had viewed.
I was standing on the edge of said bog listening for the sound of Legolas behind me, and I wasn't disappointed. All of a sudden I heard the patter of feet as Legolas ran to push me into the muddy swamp, well I sidestepped him incredibly easily" she said, looking modest, "and the prince disappeared spectacularly, flying headfirst into the mud, it was deeper than we thought and he went under completely, giving me quite a scare until his head came up spluttering and muddy.
I started laughing at him, until I realised that he had gone under again, and although he surfaced once more he kept on sinking.
"Its quicksand" he cried "Little bit of help here please Arwen"
Well I looked around and grabbed one of the creepers that hung from the nearby trees and threw it to Legolas, who caught it at once. I think he was expecting me to pull him out because he looked rather surprised when instead I tied the other end to a branch that was close at hand. He started yelling at me as I left the clearing, in fact I rather think he used the phrase Auta Minqula Yrch, so rude. He couldn't pull himself out as the mud was too strong for that and so he had no choice but to stay there, clinging onto the branch for dear life."
By this time the twins were rolling around in laughter, and so was Haldir, Estel was in hysterics so that he was finding it hard to breath and Legolas was sitting there glowering, muttering incomprehensible curses under his breath. The other elves in the hall looked over at the disturbance that was heard even over the music and sighed. It was the same every time they were in the hall of fire and were joined by the twins, Legolas, Estel and on rare occasions such as these Arwen and her escort, in this case Haldir. Trying to ignore the laughter from the other side of the hall they resumed their conversations.
Catching her breath, Arwen continued her story again
"So I left him in the marsh and returned back to the palace, the gate guards seemed rather surprised to see me giggling hysterically to myself but they didn't say anything and let me back into the halls of Thranduil. I managed to amuse myself for the rest of that morning and the early afternoon and then, being the considerate person that I am I was about to go and rescue the prince when I heard a disturbance in the corridor outside my room. Well I went out to see what was the matter and I saw a *snort* very muddy Legolas being *snort* lectured by his father for being immature, irresponsible and for making a mess of the halls, he had to clean up all the mud by himself as well"
Once more five of the group were laughing, if indeed they had stopped, and the sixth one was sitting there quietly, but he was smiling now.
"You may laugh Arwen, but I had my revenge, shall we tell that story next?" he questioned the elf who had stopped laughing at once, her eyes widening as she swore silently. //valar\\ she thought //I forgot what happened afterwards, there's no way he's going to keep quiet after me having just embarrassed him\\
As if to prove her thoughts Legolas leaned in conspiratorially and he began to tell his tale, ignoring the evil glare being sent his way by Arwen, although he was surprised that one as pretty as she was could look so ugly.
(A/N ok, yet another cliffy, but I should warn you I will probably end each chapter like this so get reviewing, the faster you review the faster the next chapter is put up. And remember that any pranks, or embarrassing things that you think of, feel free to tell me, I don't need to know what characters feature cause then I can adapt it myself but I do need some basic ideas otherwise I may find myself repeating previous tricks from other stories of mine or other people. Ok Namarie, and don't forget to review.)
Dragonlordsapprentice-I think you'll find that I can stop my story whenever I like, and if it means that I can get lots of reviews in the meantime then that's just a plus side. Just kidding, its good ending on cliffies though because it means there's a bigger chance of getting reviews. I'm glad you like it though.
Silver badger 31- Thanks, glad you like the story so far. Here we go again and In and out of trouble weren't actually sequels, they were sort of a mini series type thing.
Shadow kitty- thanks for the review, I'm glad you are enjoying it. I hope you liked Arwens story, have you thought of what you're going to do yet?
