Elladan and Elrohir snuck into their brother, Estel's room.

Elrohir jumped on his bed. "Hey Estel, I'm hungry. You asleep?"

Estel rolled over. "No, I was trying to. But, if I say yes I am asleep will that get me out of having to make you food?"

Elrohir shook his head. Estel rolled his eyes, and sat up.

"Shhh." said Elladan. "You'll wake up Ada."

"Whatever." said Estel. "I'm not afraid of Ada."

"Just because you're the youngest, and he likes you best, doesn't mean that he won't yell at you." said Elrohir.

"Fine." said Estel. "What is it you want?"

"We're going for a little ride," explained Elladan.

"And thought we'd take you along." concluded Elrohir.

"Okay." said Estel.

"Okay." said Elladan. "Got any clothes I can borrow, Estel?"

15 Minutes Later

"Oh!" said Elrohir.

"What?" asked Estel. "We have to leave a note."

They were in Estel's room, planning their late night excursion.

"Here." Estel took a piece of paper and a quill off his desk and handed it to Elorhir, who had the best handwriting.

"What should it say? 'Dear Ada, we went out for a while, we promise to have Estel home at a reasonable time. Signed Elladan, Elrohir, and Estel.' How's that sound?"

"You don't have to get me home at a reasonable hour." said Estel.

"Yes we do!" said Elladan. "We gots to get daddy's baby home in time so he's not cranky in the morning."

Estel made a face at Elladan. Then they followed Elrohir as he tacked the note up on their Ada's door.

"Everyone ready now?" asked Elladan as they headed toward the door.

"Excuse me." said Glorifindel. "But what is going on? A Midnight Meeting?"

All three sons of Elrond turned toward the elder elf.

"Ummm." stammered Elrohir. "Elladan?"

Elladan stuttered as well. "Estel?"

"Glorifindel!" said Estel, with a big smile. "Hey, we're going out for a bit, could you see that the doors do not get locked before we get home?"

Glorifindel squinted at the three suspicious looking boys. "Fine." he said. "You have till midnite, then the doors get shut and locked. Your Ada can find you outside sleeping with the horses if you don't get here in time."

"Thank you Glorifindel!" they chorused as they ran out the door.

After the sons of Elrond went and rode around and just did nothing, wait, they did go get some ice cream, they came home five minutes after midnight.

They held their breath as they tried to open the door. It was unlocked! They happily ran inside.

"You are very lucky." said a voice from behind them.

They turned to be face to face with the Balrog Slayer himself.

"I fell asleep." said Glorifindel. "One minute more, and you would've been locked out."

"We know." said Estel. "Thank you for having our backs, Glorfy!"

Glorifindel scowled at the boys' childhood nickname for him, but nodded his head.

Estel followed Elladan and Elrohir into their room.

Just as they were about to fall asleep.

"CRAP!" yelled Elladan, who was tackled by Elrohir, who clamped his hand over Elladan's mouth.

Elladan elbowed Elrohir. "We forgot the note."

They both looked at Estel, the youngest and quickest of the three.

"I'm going." said Estel, figuring that they would let him go alone, but no, they got up and followed him.

Estel walked up to his Ada's door. He removed the note, and slowly turned around, trying to be quiet, but in his effort to be quiet, he tripped and fell.

"Whasgoinon?" they heard Ada mumble from inside.

"Run!" said Elrohir. Of course, Elladan and Elrohir took off, as Estel attempted to jump back up. Estel heard footsteps coming toward the closed door just as he got up and scrambled toward the twins' room.

No sooner as he had nabbed a blanket off Elladan's bed, and a pillow from Elrohir, and had jumped on the couch, their Ada, Lord Elrond looked inside the room.

"Huh." he said. "I could of sworn some one had been outside my door. Must've been Glorifindel. I must talk to him about his patroling around at night...this is Imladris, we are not expecting an enemy attack anytime soon..." and with that, Lord Elrond shut the door of his sons' room, and walked away.

They waited about a minute before busting out laughing.

They were darn lucky kids, and they knew it.
