Silently, the twins took the long way to Legolas's room in order to avoid those who would stop them from pulling off their prank. Namely, Erestor and Glorfindel.

"How shall we wake him this time," Elrohir whispered to his twin as they got closer to Legolas's new room.

Elladan thought about it for a minute and then smiled deviously. "I think this time, we should use an old and tried method, but with a new twist," he said grinning.

Elrohir looked at his twin suspiciously. He knew the look Elladan had and it never meant good things. "What do you mean by a new twist," he asked a grin forming at his mouth. Oh well, at least this time it wasn't directed at him or Estel.

Elladan smiled. "Why my dear brother, a bucket of water we shall use," he said, his eyes dancing with glee at the thought of the prank.

Elrohir rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Elladan, a bucket of ice cold water is hardly an old trick with a new twist. Why, that trick is probably older than Grandmother!" he said.

"Ah, but I have not yet told you the new twist Ro. Now, I didn't say we would be using cold water, on the contrary, I do believe we will be using hot water this morning," Elladan said while barely containing his excitement.

Elrohir grinned just as deviously as his brother was when he thought about Legolas's reaction. "Come then Dan, what are we waiting for? We have water to heat," he said pulling Elladan away from Legolas's room and towards the closest bathroom.

Grinning, both the twins entered the bathroom and began to prepare their prank.

Elrond walked away from his twins all the while shaking his head. He knew that they would probably wake poor Legolas if he wasn't up already, particularly because he said the shouldn't. He just hoped that Legolas did not damage them too badly.

He would worry about that later though. Right now, he had to find Glorfindel and get him to help him remove Estel's stitches. He could of course do it on his own, but he would much rather have Glorfindel there, even if it was only for moral support.

Shifting Estel gently in his arms, Elrond headed towards the breakfast area, where he was sure he would find Erestor and Glorfindel waiting for him. Sure enough, once he had entered the dining area, both of them were there.

"Ah good, you're both here. Erestor, if you could make sure that Legolas and the twins don't kill each other, I would be most grateful. Also, be sure to keep them away from the healing room," Elrond said.

"Of course. I assume that you're taking Estel's stitches out today then," Erestor said happily. He was very relieved that Estel was on the mend. The removal of the stitches would finally mean that Estel was truly better.

"Yes, thankfully. His arm looks very good. Glorfindel, could you do me the favor of helping me remove the stitches?" Elrond asked as he carefully sat down while still holding onto Estel.

Glorfindel heard the unspoken part in Elrond's question. "Elrond, of course I'll help you nim wit. I assume that you didn't want the twins see the procedure which is why you are having Erestor do guard duty?" Glorfindel stated more than asked.

"Yes mellon nin, and thank you. Erestor, mellon nin, I would have you help as well, but someone needs to supervise Legolas and the twins," Elrond said scowling. Sometimes he swore that those three were more childish than Estel!

"Of course mellon nin. You need not even ask," Erestor said.

"Yes Elrond, you need not ask. Now, you and Estel eat some breakfast already," Glorfindel said while frowning at Elrond's untouched plate.

"Nay Glorfindel, Estel is still sleeping and I am loathe to wake him. Besides, it is better that he had nothing before the tea. The drug works better on an empty stomach," Elrond said while begrudgingly starting on his meal in order to keep Glorfindel and Erestor from glaring at him.

"All right then. Once you are finished we'll head right for the healing wing. The sooner this is over with, the happier we'll all be I suspect," Glorfindel said frowning. He was never pleased when Estel or the twins were injured, but the fact that Estel was injured as the result of one of his own supposedly loyal warriors really grated on his nerves.

Elrond nodded and shoved his plate back. "I am finished mellon nin, and no, I will not eat any more, not until Estel has those stitches out," he said, daring Glorfindel or Erestor to make a comment on it.

Both Glorfindel and Erestor exchanged wary looks. They knew better than to argue with Elrond when he was in this kind of a mood. It was better to just simply nod and say yes than risk Elrond's wrath.

"Very well, let us go then," Glorfindel said simply.

"I will watch over the three 'elflings' for you mellon nin," Erestor said, standing up as well.

"Good. I'll call you when Glorfindel and I have finished. Only after I have called you may you let the twins and Legolas in," Elrond said.

"Of course Elrond. I'll go find them now," Erestor said before hurriedly leaving the room. If he knew the twins, they were already pulling a prank on Legolas. Those two would be lucky if Legolas didn't kill them.

Elrond watched Erestor depart and slowly stood up, while hugging Estel tightly to his chest. "Let us get this over and done with then mellon nin," he said.

Glorfindel nodded wordlessly and followed Elrond silently towards the healing wing.

Moments later, they had reached the healing wing and Estel was still fast asleep.

"Elrond, are you sure that Estel is all right? Should he have been able to sleep through all that?" Glorfindel asked worriedly.

"All shall be fine mellon nin. Estel is simply more tired than he let on," Elrond said reassuringly while laying Estel down onto one of the many healing beds that adorned the healing wing.

"Now who does that remind me of," Glorfindel muttered under his breathe.

That did not keep Elrond from hearing him however. Elrond smiled grimly and nodded. "Indeed, I fear that the twins have already corrupted him and now that we're adding Legolas into the mix... Well, anything could happen," he said cringing at the very idea of the ideas that Legolas might give Estel.

"Aie! I did not think of that. These next few years are going to be very interesting mellon nin," Glorfindel said.

"That Glorfindel, is the understatement of the century. Come, help me get this tea into Estel," Elrond said seriously.

Glorfindel nodded and gently but firmly held Estel's mouth open while Elrond slowly coaxed the drug laced tea down Estel's throat.

"There, that should do it mellon nin," Elrond said once the cup had been drained.

Glorfindel nodded and reluctantly fetched all the supplies that would be needed to take the stitches out.

"All right, Glorfindel, Estel may be drugged but there is a slight chance that he will stir during the procedure. I need you to hold him down for me just in case," Elrond said.

Nodding in understanding, Glorfindel held Estel tightly to him, and tried not to watch as Elrond proceeded with the painstaking process of removing the stitches. Estel stirred briefly once, but with a few reassuring words from Elrond, he quieted down right away.

Elrond was about halfway through the procedure when suddenly he heard a splash, but he thought nothing of it until a few second later.

"AIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" someone screamed, someone who sounded very much like Legolas.

It was only due to the fact that Elrond had been a healer and a father for many millennia that had prevented him from digging into Estel's flesh with his healer's knife. He closed his eyes briefly and opened them a few seconds later.

"Glorfindel, remind me to have a few words with the twins when we have finished," Elrond said a bit to calmly as he continued to finish removing the stitches.

"Whatever you say mellon nin, whatever you say," Glorfindel said wisely. He did not envy the twins in the slightest. Now, both Legolas and Elrond were out for their blood. Poor foolish elflings. He almost felt sorry for them, almost.

Legolas was pulled from a deep sleep when he heard the whispered voices of someone. Not fully awake, Legolas did not think much of the fact and was just about to fall back into a deep sleep when he felt a drop of hot water on his nose.

Absent mindedly, he wiped it away when he suddenly realized what that drop of water would entail.

It was to late for the poor Prince however. Seeing that Legolas was realizing what was happening around him, both Elladan and Elrohir dumped their pails of hot water on the unsuspecting prince.

"AIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Legolas screamed as the hot water was poured onto him.

The twins took this as their cue to leave, and ran for their lives.

"ELLADAN! ELROHIR! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Legolas shouted as he rose out of a suddenly very hot bed.

Groaning, Legolas headed for the bathroom in order to ring out the water. He really needed to make a list of people to kill. There were just to many as of lately. Keeping that in mind for later, he dried himself off and went to hunt down the twins.
