Disclaimer: Tolkien's masterpiece. I'm just messing around with it.  

Author's Notes:

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooorry…I didn't update :(

I hate to keep you guys waiting but the truth is I'm really just kind of stuck on this story. I was heaps busy this week. I find it increasingly harder to write each section. I will keep to my promise that I will finish this…but I really am lost. I've started to read other fan fiction such as Harry Potter, POTC, Gilmore Girls, ER, X-men, Matrix and some other movies. To be honest, I haven't read a LOTR one in a while. I think I'm starting to drift again…I don't know…I really want to write and I feel guilty when I don't but I don't feel like anything is happening. Don't worry I won't remove or discontinue this…I just don't know if the ending will be good…sigh…

EVERYONE: Thanks for everyone who answered my questions. I really wanted to know what the terms meant, you all have saved me from a lifetime of wondering what they are! I love you guys!

freak-pudding: Thanks for breaking your normal tradition for me. I feel really special *hug*. Yes there is a lot more Thranduil, OCs, Twins, Legolas and Elrond. There will be more technical stuff when it comes to the investigation. Thranduil will be the judge so there is definitely more of him. He is the Mirkwood king after all. 

Irish QT: Thanks for the cute review.

farflung: Ooh. That is a pretty long review. Thanks for explaining the S&M stuff. Now I'm getting scared that I'll turn into a sadist because of all this angst stuff…

FrodoBaggins87: Yes. The title of the chapter...I looked at it just now and thought Hey? It sounds like one of those newspaper columns about you know…looking for a relationship type…*shudders*

French Chipmunk: You were first to update the last chapter! Coolies!

Lady of the Twilight Woods and anyone that I have missed: Thank you for adding me to your favourites! Mwah!

More…Legolas' thoughts are in italics.

**In Imladris, Elrond's Study**

Glorfindel and Elrond were planning the meeting for tomorrow.

"You shouldn't have dismissed your advisors so quickly. We should have held the meeting today," Glorfindel said disapprovingly.

"But I wasn't ready for it and they deserve some time off. We had just done some diplomacy agreements with the Elves in Lorien. My advisors are tiring. They need some rest.  Besides, I can discuss the alliance with Mirkwood tomorrow morning. It is not an urgent matter," Elrond countered. "I'm sure King Thranduil is not hostile towards us. We are at a neutral stance at the moment, this is no threat to Imladris' safety."

"Why did King Thranduil suddenly want to have an alliance with us? Is he hiding something from us?" Glorfindel wondered out loud.

"I am unsure of his true intentions but I don't believe that the alliance was sudden. I have lost personal contact with Mirkwood for some time however I still kept contact at a diplomatic level. I always invite all the Lords from all the Elven realms to the annual festivities as a common courtesy and so does King Thranduil. I just never attended any of his functions, I preferred to send a representative. I believe that he does the same," Elrond explained.

"Now that you talk about it, you two do have some things in common," Glorfindel remarked. "By the way, why did you decide to have Legolas attend lessons with Elladan and Elrohir?"

"I think that way Legolas doesn't have to worry about having no company. Plus, I can't look after him all day and I don't want him to feel lost or unwanted. Elladan and Elrohir have been skipping lessons for sometimes, even after their holding. Erestor told me, I asked him before dinner and he said that he would not mind teaching Legolas. I do not think that Legolas is much trouble."

"Yes, I agree with you. I know you really care about him but you really can't hover around him so much. The twins will have enough free time, their lesson time has been halved anyway. The only thing is Legolas will be taught the same lessons as the twins. He doesn't need lessons in diplomacy or lordship…"

Elrond smiled. "I think he will need the lessons alright after all he is training to be a King."

Glorfindel nodded then it hit him. "Pardon?" he choked. "Did you just say that he is training to be a King?"

"When I first saw him, I noticed that Legolas looked very familiar but I could not place my finger on it…then I realised he looked a lot like…"

"Thranduil." Glorfindel finished Elrond's sentence. "So you are saying that Legolas is Thranduil' son?"

"That is correct. Legolas told me himself."

"You seem to find out everything," Glorfindel grumbled.

Elrond raised his eyebrows and replied. "That may be because I am the Lord of Imladris."

"With twin hellions as your spawn," Glorfindel muttered under his breath.

"They will grow up to be great Elves one day. I have faith in them," Elrond said, ignoring the negativity of the comment. He was obviously smiling although the Elven Lord looked stern.

"I don't doubt that they won't. I only worry that Imladris would be turned into a giant prank factory. Not that is isn't already," Glorfindel complained. "They never change."

"I hope they don't. I love them just the way they are," Elrond smiled. "Didn't you say that I needed to be less serious and smile more?"

"Yes, but the twins drive me insane. Where are they anyway? It is almost time for dinner. Don't tell me they are late again. They will make me lose my hair more than a hairbrush could ever do."

"Don't be so vain," Elrond teased. "You take an hour to get your hair ready on most mornings."

"Who me?" Glorfindel looked around. "You are the one who keeps straightening your clothes all the time. Talk about conceited."

"I like to be neat not fancy. I do not straighten my clothes all the time. You look in the mirror too much. I know that you talk to you mirror every night before you go to sleep."

"Excuse me? I don't know what you are talking about. How would you know that unless you were looking?"

"I keep my doors closed."

"I like a breeze and I don't go around looking at people in their rooms. I don't have a mirror."

"You hide it inside your wardrobe."

"I do not."

Both of them mock glared at each other. Unfortunately, Elrond was a bit taller so he could stare downwards. Glorfindel looked away first much to Elrond's amusement. Changing the topic he said, "Lets go to dinner."

**In Imladris, Not a long way from the Great Hall**

Legolas laughed with the twins – both of them were trying to dry themselves.

"You go us so worried and all the time you were asleep up in the fountain?" Elladan said.

"Yes," Elrohir blushed.

"You hid very well," Legolas complimented. "We couldn't find you until we started calling you."

"Still you didn't answer us for ages," Elladan said. "Now its dark and both of us are wet." With this he flicked his wet hair behind his ears.

"Its not my fault. I couldn't remember how I got up there! It was really dark outside and inside! I didn't ask you to come up!" Elrohir protested.

"Well you certainly needed to be rescued," Elladan laughed. "I wonder what father will say."

"I don't think that he will be too happy…"

"…especially because we are wet…"

"…and we are late…"

"…for dinner…"

"…again…"

Both of the groaned.

Legolas looked scared, "Is your Ada going to be very angry?"

"Nay, he will probably just lecture us," Elrohir mumbled.

"A long one," Elladan said.

"Don't worry, he won't do it to you though," Elrohir reassured. "You are too good. He probably thinks that we started it."

"We did bro," Elladan added.

They smiled mischievously, taking their time as they walked back. The twins were not worried at all about getting in trouble.

Please Review! Don't worry too much about the writing though. I should be okay. Pray for me…I promise that it will be longer next update. PROMISE.

Btw, how is the grammar going? Any complains? I proofread about once nowadays. I don't have time to do it three times like I normally do :( Blame school. Assessment on Tuesday…
