Devonny: Elfin-Soul doesn't own anything….not even me
Elfin-Soul: Indeed? Who does own you then?
Erestor: I do! scowls
Elfin-Soul: Wah!...
Erestor: Grrrr….never play poker with a muse… … … …
Devonny: smiles triumphantly
Heading off, Sarah sprinted off after Erestor, Elladan, Elrohir and Izzy. After some way, she caught up to Elladan and Izzy. Speaking while she was running, she asked,
"Where are Elrohir and Erestor?"
"Racing," was the reply from Elladan.
"Typical men!...Err, Elves sorry," Said Izzy while Sarah laughed.
"Come on slow coaches!" called Sarah.
"Easy for you to say, you were in the cross-country team at school!" said Izzy with a sniff. Sarah just pulled a face and sped off. In the distance, she could hear Izzy explaining to Elladan what a coach was. Sarah saw Elrohir and Erestor far off, but to her dismay, they seemed to increase their speed as soon as they realized she was there. Summoning her strength, she pushed herself harder. Smiling ironically to herself, she recalled the time how in cross-country practice, she was constantly criticized by the coach for not pushing herself. Surprising herself, the simple memory of the coaches sneering face spurred her on even faster and more determined to catch up to Elrohir and Erestor. They were certainly surprised when she advanced on them, and were in a state of disbelief when she did catch up to them. Laughing maniacally, she raced on with them. They were almost at the kitchens and that seemed to somehow make them run even harder to try and beat the other. Fifty metres, thirty metres, ten metres, five metres, it was neck to neck when the most unexpected and most horrifying (to them at least) thing happened. Lord Elrond had just happened to be making his way to the kitchens to get a midnight snack when his chief councilor, his son, and Sarah bowled into him at top speed. In a daze, they laid in a heap on the floor for a few moments. Slowly, they started to pick themselves up when Elladan and Izzy bowled into them. Luckily for Erestor, he managed to dodge out of the way but unluckily for Elrond, Elrohir and Sarah, they were once again, sent flying to the floor. Trying hard not to laugh, Erestor watched on in amusement when a sliding panel opened up behind him and Glorfindel came flying out at top speed into Erestor, who into lost his balance, and the two fell onto the heap of elves which consisted of Elrond, his two sons, Sarah and Izzy. This of all moments, Sarah started to laugh. She couldn't hold it in. Izzy soon joined in and the two laughed and laughed until the started crying. This seemed even more amusing to them and they laughed even harder. Trying in vain to gather themselves, they managed to stop laughing but not without a few sqeaks. Elrohir, not quite sure of what was happening looked at them in a concerned way. They immediately dissolved into laughter once again. Elrond, having had enough picked himself up in the most dignified manner possible for an elf lord who had been bowled over twice, and then squashed. Turning back to them he said,
"I will send for you in the morning, and you WILL explain to me this mess!" and he stalked off. Grimacing slightly Elrohir said,
"We're in for it!" Izzy whispered something to Sarah and they both cracked up.
"Do, please enlighten us on the source of your amusement ladies," Glorfindel said curiously.
"Ehehe...Lord Elrond does," began Sarah.
"Does seem to be well," continued Izzy.
"Well?" said Erestor, Glorfindel, Elrohir.
"Walking a little…peculiarly doesn't he…" Sarah finished. Glorfindel and Elrohir giggled which made Erestor look at them strangely. That shut them up quickly.
"He almost looks as if he has something stuck up his…" began Izzy but she was cut off by Elladan who suddenly exclaimed,
"WHERE'S MY SHOE GONE!" Sarah and Izzy who had managed to stand up before almost collapsed so instinctively, they grabbed out to the nearest thing. That 'thing' being Erestor who promptly sat down with the two grabbing hold of him laughing their heads off along with Elrohir and Glorfindel. Elrohir and Glorfindel managed to stop laughing to give Erestor a strange look before continuing to laugh once more. Elladan just looked vainly for his shoe.
A/N: I think I will leave it there. Hopefully this chappie will induce some giggles . The next chapter will include Elrond's study, that pesky little marysueish Nimloth, and perhaps (if I feel up to it) confessions of a councilor. R&R, cheers!
