A/N the twins were about the equivalent of 6-year-olds and Legolas was about 7

Elladan went over the plan one more time just to make sure everyone understood… they could not be seen or else. "Okay, now one more time to make sure we all understand," he said looking first at his little brother then at Legolas. "Legolas, you are to keep an eye out in the front of the kitchen entrance for any possible intruders while Elrohir and I sneak in and acquire the goods. Do you understand?"
Legolas rolled his eyes, and Elrohir groaned with impatience. "Yes, we know. We have only been going over this for the last hour or two. Now let us go, or we will never succeed!"
Elladan glared at his brother. They just didn't understand how important this was and if caught they would be in so much trouble. With a deep breath, the trio left making sure no one saw them. The only one they ran into was Lindir, but the dark haired ellon was so busy going over his new composition he didn't even notice the small elflings hurrying towards the kitchen.
When they got to their destination, Legolas stood guard outside the doors in a small alcove which was able to hide the golden-haired elfling quite well. "Okay Legolas, remember if you see anyone whistle like a blue bird twice, and that will let us know we need to get out fast," Elladan reminded his partner in crime.
Legolas nodded, and the twins hurried inside.
When they were safely inside, the kitchen was empty for the cooks were on their breaks at the moment. Quickly and quietly the two made their way towards their destination. When they got to the back counter, they saw it: A double chocolate cake! "There it is, Elrohir! Isn't scrumptious?!"
Elrohir could only nod as he was too busy drooling at the site of the cake. It was to be for dessert tonight, but the three small ellyn couldn't wait, so they made it their mission to take it now.
Ever so silently they made their way up to the counter, and when they got there, Elrohir stood on his brother's shoulders and carefully got the cake. Just then they heard the sound of a blue bird, and they knew they had to leave now!
Quickly making their way to the doors, they managed to escape without being seen. When they got to their rooms, they smiled triumphally. The mission was a success! As the three ate in silence, they began to make plans on how they were going to take the next dessert that was left alone. But first, they were going to have to figure out how to explain the missing cake and their lack of appetite to their parents.
