Sarah proceeded to tell Leah what had happened at the dinner table. Leah was doubled over with laughter and drew a few comments from passing elves.

"Are you seriously gonna go, tonight, with Glorfindel?" Sarah nodded.

"May the gods have mercy on Jeff!" Leah managed to say before dissolving into laughter once more. "I am totally coming to watch this. I'd die if I missed it. Pity for Middle Earth that there aren't any cam-corders!" Sarah grinned.

"But I have to wait another 4 hours, what to do, what to do" she sighed.

"Well I'll leave you to decide what you wanna do, I'm off, cheerio!" said Leah as she basically skipped off. Leah slowed down to a walk and giggled. Poor Izzy, she does quite like Glorfy doesn't she…"

"Who likes Glorfy?" asked someone from around the corner. Elladan's head suddenly appeared.

"Ahhhh, no one!"

"Riiiight, come on, tell me!"

"I'll tell you something!" said Leah hurriedly. Anything to get Elladan off track. Leah then related the evening's events to Elladan.

"That's it! I'm coming too!" Laughed Elladan and he and Leah walked off.

(now back to Sarah)

Sarah wondered around like a lost puppy, not sure which way to turn. As she passed a door, she caught a whiff of strawberry and the sound of splashing water. She shook her head in amusement and carried on.

'The library' thought Sarah. She loved libraries even though she didn't tell anyone that. Especially old libraries with their musty book smells and the way it felt cozy and just like home. She walked around looking for a library 'come on, Elrond must have a library…honestly!' she thought. She suddenly stopped as she found herself outside two enormous doors. Curiously, Sarah pushed them open and lo and behold… (ten points to who guesses what she found) there was the library! For half a second, Sarah couldn't believe it. She never had any luck, at all. 'Amazing' she thought and she walked in. There were two levels. The books on the first story looked slightly newer so Sarah raced up the stairs to the second story. She was looking for something, yet her heart would not tell her what it was. She looked curiously around until she came to a window with a slight balcony. Heavy drapes covered it. Feeling some excitement, Sarah walked over to the drapes and pulled them apart. She opened the stiff window and leaned outside. She could see the other wing of the house and she saw the yellow moon slowly rising. 'I wish I brought a cam-corder!' Sarah groaned and hit herself mentally. 'Tonight would be the best. Just imagine the look on Jeff's face!' Feeling slightly disappointed about the fact that there was no way of preserving what was about to happen, and that her hunch about something wonderful beyond the curtains was wrong, by chance, Sarah looked dejectedly up. 'That's strange!' Sarah thought. 'There's a window above me!' Although it might have been another place in the house that just happened to be above the library, Sarah was sure it had to do with the library. Sarah leaned back as a cold breeze whipped past her, stinging her cheeks. Sarah sighed and closed the window. She leaned back on the drapes where the wall should have been but instead of supporting her, they gave way. She stumbled back and fell down. Luckily the drapes hadn't been torn off. She quickly picked herself up and investigated. The drapes were too heavy to pull back completely so they were off the wall so Sarah simply squeezed behind them. There was an archway and steps that lead upwards. Sarah almost fainted. 'Sweet mother she thought and for the second time that night, she raced up stairs. She came to yet another floor of books; these ones were a lot older though. She gasped in disbelief as she ran over to a shelf and ran her hands over them. Picking up a random book she opened it. Dust and a musty smell met her and she smiled. This book was about different properties of plants. Deciding that this was interesting, Sarah kept the book and walked around slowly as she read. She walked past a desk and window, not seeing an elf sitting at the desk looking at her. She stopped at a painting and she suddenly felt a prickle on her neck. She looked at the portraits eyes but they were normal, just painted in. She slowly turned around and saw a dark haired elf looking at her curiously. She blushed and said,

"I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you were there," The elf looked her in the eye, and then suddenly laughed.

"I see little one. I am Erestor, and you're Sarah are you not?"

"Yes, yes I am." So this was the infamous Erestor that Sarah had never seen before. He was the chief counselor in Elrond's household.

"How on earth did you find this place?" Erestor asked incredulously. "Even Elrohir and Elladan don't know about this. Glorfindel, perhaps"

"I, er, I'm not sure" At this, Erestor looked slightly disappointed and dropped his head.

"I just felt that there was more to this library than there looks, and that the window looked interesting too!" At this, Erestor looked up.

"That's how I found this place as well!" He smiled. "Plants and their properties. One of the first books recorded about that subject, and stolen from Elrond's mother-in-law." At this, Erestor grinned.

"But, unfortunately, it doesn't include the plants that are considered…wayward, in want of a better word."

"How so?" asked Sarah curiously?

"It doesn't include plants that are used for…weight problems and such! You seem to know quite a bit about those don't you?" Erestor grinned. Sarah's jaw dropped.

"How…how did you know that it was me!" Erestor just smiled.

"Oh, you came to Rivendell with Jeff and Izzy didn't you?" Erestor asked abruptly. Wondering how Erestor knew so much, Sarah replied,

"I did, why?"

"They were causing quite a commotion at the dinner table tonight. I had to tell them to shut up which is quite unlike my usual silence." Erestor grinned. Sarah started to laugh. She slowly related the tale of what happened. Erestor had started to laugh.

"That explains everything. Izzy looked as if she was about to cry! Now I know why. Would you mind if I joined you?"

"No, of course not, it's definitely something not to miss!"

"Good then, in that case, we had better start off, it's quarter to midnight". Sarah was shocked. They had talked for that long? It certainly didn't feel like it.

"We better not leave this candle alight, Elrond might realize someone's been in his private library!"

"You mean this is arr…private? As in we aren't supposed to be here?"

"Yes. Private, extremely private. Elrond would be upset if he discovered that his secret stash of rare books were found. Especially some of the books…" Sarah motioned for him to go on.

"Some of the books…aren't exactly appropriate for the general public, if you catch my drift." It suddenly clicked with Sarah. She started to giggle. She caught herself and shook her head. She quickly replaced her book and ran back to Erestor who was waiting for her. He blew out the candle.

"Ummm…I hope we don't knock anything over in the dark!" winced Sarah as she realized it was pitch black.

"Don't you mean you hope you won't"

"You could say that!"

"No matter, keep hold of my arm!" Sarah suddenly felt Erestor's arm and she grasped hold. That was the last thing she would need. That Elrond would discover that she had been in his secret library. She winced again. Erestor, mistaking this for uncertainty, grabbed hold her hand, and led her gently threw the library and eventually down the steps.

They reached the bottom without much trouble and the squeezed through the curtains.

"Where did you say you were to meet Glorfindel?"

"Oh, damn. I didn't. We hadn't set a place," Said Sarah as she creased her brow.

"Not to matter, he'll find you easily enough?" Sarah looked at Erestor inquisitively.

"You'll see!" Sure enough, when they walked out of the library, Glorfindel was there, waiting. He looked slightly surprised to see Erestor there but he soon snapped out of his shock.

"Erestor, here to see what's to happen?"

"Wouldn't miss it, besides, it might be useful!" A knowing glance went between Erestor and Glorfindel as Sarah was left confused, in between them both. Seeing her confusion, both elfin lords grinned and each took an arm and led her down the passage, chatting as they went.

Leah, Elladan and Elrohir turned a corner and were met with the scene of Glorfindel and Erestor both grinning, and leading Sarah down the passage.

"That…I just didn't see that!" said Elladan.

"I second that!" replied Elrohir.

"Ummm….?" Asked Leah.

"Erestor…grinning…and smiling…the world is going to end!" Elrohir said in awe.

"In all of years, we have only seen Erestor smile twice. The first being when our father's wardrobe was stained purple."

"Purple!" Leah asked incredulously.

"He should have never have changed our wardrobe without consulting us first. He got rid of all of our hunting clothes, and replaced them with sissy ball robes, mind you, he still doesn't know it was us although Erestor found out immediately. And the second time was when we begged Erestor for dear mercy. We were groveling on the floor, just so that he wouldn't tell father it was us. We told him we would do anything. That's when he smiled. We found ourselves cleaning out all of the toilets for two years! That was two hundred years ago though. Never again have we seen him smile, at least not in public." Leah nodded. They suddenly bumped into Kyo.

"Off to the eagle statue?" Asked Kyo, grinning evilly.

"How did you know!" asked Izzy in shock.

"He told me!" he replied as he pointed to Elrohir. "Plus, I do want see what happens to our dear friend Jeff!"

"Please, do join us then!" Elladan and Elrohir said simultaneously.

"Will do!"
