Chapter 2

" Where are you elf? "Gimli Growled, it has been 1 hour, and still he could not find Legolas. After there little chase, it was like Legolas just vanished into thin air.

Nothing bad could have happened. Gimli knew that he and Legolas were well watched by the Minas Tirith guards, Aragorn knew how they bantered and knew you could never be to carefull.

" Legolas, Don't think I am done with you!! When I find you I am going t- ' as Gimli rounded the corner he just about flew into Aragorn.

" You will do what, Master Dwarf??" Aragorn said, eyebrows raised in a questioning gesture, though for some reason he didn't want to know.

Gimli tended to have a very large and disturbing imagination when he put his mind to something.

"Where is Legolas? "

"Oh, I don't know, where could he be?"

"Aragorn." Gimli warned

"What? You think I know everything? When Legolas doesn't want to be found, it is impossible to find him."

" Aragorn, You are lying through your teeth, and if you don't tell me where he is, I am going to make you loose them!"

" Alright! I give up! " Aragorn said, while he started to shake immensly from the effort it took to keep the Peeling laughter in check.

" Alright then, so were is he? " Gimli said, getting interestingly red in the face, wishing he could shake Aragorn into telling him. Why did everything have to be so hard??

" He is um,....He is... cough..." Aragorn Cleared His Throat, studdering over the words.

" SPIT IT OUT!" Gimli yelled, Aragorn kept suspicously looking over his head, and suddenly Aragorn was so interested in the floor.

" If I tell you, you have to promise not to kill me...." Aragorn said, while he figeted uncomfortably.

" Aragorn, Tell me." Gimli suddenly had the uncomfortable suspicion that Legolas wasn't far away at all.

" Well, He's right behind you." Aragorn said simply. All uncomfortable nervousness gone from his face and posture.

" What-He-." Gimli Slowly looked behind him, and as soon as he did this he immediatly regretted it, for Legolas immediatly showed himself, in fact, he literally slammed right into Gimli throwing him to the floor.

"YOU DAMNED ELF !!!!" Gimli yelled from the floor.

" That my friend is.. what I call,...' Barrel' ." Legolas Gasped between breaths. He was laughing so much that he was doubled over in pain, while Aragorn stood to the other side of the of him laughing so hard his face looked like it would explode.

" You were in on this all along?!! Gimli questioned with murder in his eyes.

" I am sorry my friend, I just couldn't help it, It was such a good idea. It was time for us to return the gesture." Said Aragorn, Wiping the tears off of his face.

" What gesture?? " Said Gimli, getting off of the hall floor.

" Why, the gesture of friendship, of course." Aragorn announced grinning broadly, still chuckling immensly.

"I'll show you two the gesture of friendship," Gimli growled, stalking towards Aragorn and Legolas.

" Now mellonnin, do not be so Angry, It was just an innocent Joke." Legolas said from behind Aragorn, using him as a sheild. "

INNOCENT?!!" Gimli snorted loudly. "Yes, Innocent, we were just having a little fun, returning the favor.

"Just a week ago you did the same to me!" Said Aragorn while he tried to reverse the tables and get behind Legolas and use HIM as a sheild.

" And you did the same to me just TWO days ago." Said Legolas, Backing away. Though he knew Gimli was his friend, Gimli had a very bad temper like him. And when really provoked..He was dangerous. "

That was just childish banter. But since you returned the favor, then I guess I can give you both a little something new..." Gimli said With Evil Intent.

" NO, were okay." / NO, were fine." Both Legolas and Aragorn said in Unison.

" Oh,..no.. I will not spare you that cha--"

" My lord." Faramir interrupted from behind Gimli.

' Why am I always being interrupted? ' Gimli thought miserably,

'o well, I will just get that stubborn elf and human tomorrow. ' Gimli Sighed inwardly.

" What is It Faramir?" Aragorn said, glad for the reprieve, yet worried since Faramir never interupted the trio's banter without a good reason.

"Aragorn, A messenger just arrived-" Faramir hesitated, furtivley glancing at Legolas. Looking away when the glance was returned. "

From where? " Legolas asked, his Sky blue crystal clear keen elven eyes darkened with worry while searching Faramirs face for the answer. A dark feeling firmly planted in the pit of his stomach.

" From Mirkwood, My Lords. " Faramir said Drearily, suddenly looking exausted.

He did not read the message, but the letter was sent in haste, because the message was from King Thranduil Himself......
