A/N: For some reason this chapter just kept annoying me. My muse also seems to be ill, so this took longer than I wanted. Sorry for the delay and I apologize for how pathetic it is:'(

As soon as Elladan arrived back in Rivendell he went running off to find his twin. Elrohir was in one of their favorite trees; a nice, tall oak situated near the end of the inner courtyard. Elladan quickly scrambled up the tree and joined his twin near the top. "I can't believe you let Erestor of all people catch you!" He said after he had gotten situated on one of the branches. "I can't believe you left your signature!"

Elrohir just shrugged. "Old habits die hard I guess." He mumbled, looking up through the branches. Elladan sighed and shook his head. Sometimes his brother was just exasperating...

Elrohir sat up and looked at his twin, the familiar evil glint in his eyes. "I think Erestor and Haldir owe us a story." He said. Elladan grinned and climbed down the tree, his twin right behind him.

"Oh no." Erestor said, shaking his head. "I am not telling them what their father and Celeborn did to us a century ago!"

"And why not?" Elladan asked innocently. "Its not like people don't already know what happened..."

"You do not need anymore ideas for pranks." Erestor snarled. "Now, Haldir can tell you the story if he wants, but I am not going to encourage him or add any details." Haldir glared at Erestor, a perfect imitation of Elrond, something that caused the twins to start laughing. Erestor in turn glared at him, before sighing and giving in.

"Now, let's see, where to start..." Haldir mumbled.

"It was a century ago, on one of the hottest days of summer." Erestor prompted.

Haldir grinned. "Right after I had won the yearly archery contest!" He said. Elladan rolled his eyes while Elrohir jabbed Haldir with his finger. "Ouch! Alright, so it was the hottest day of summer. Unfortunately for us, we were stuck inside the stuffy library that day. By the end of the day we were hot, dusty, and tired."

"Both of us went back to our rooms to take baths." Erestor said, continuing the story. "What we didn't realize was that all of our towels had been stolen. And neither of us wanted to put back on our dirty clothes."

"But the door leading from our bathing rooms to our bedrooms had been locked." Haldir said. "So we both decided that the only thing we could do was to wait until there was no one in the hall and to sneak down the hall and use that door to get into our rooms. However, when we walked out of the room, a sticky substance poured down on us."

"Followed by feathers." Erestor muttered.

The twins lost it. They collapsed on the ground, laughing hysterically. It took them several minutes before they were calm enough for Erestor and Haldir could continue the story.

"Elrond and Celeborn must have had spies or something, because at that moment the Rangers that were staying here came down the hall. We couldn't see where we were going-"

"-And ended up running right into them. But the worst part is that the Rangers STILL tell that story to anyone who will listen." That started the twins off again. Haldir and Erestor just looked at each other, shrugged, and left the room.

It was quite a few days before the twins could look at Haldir and Erestor without laughing, chuckling, or giggling. When they were finally calm enough to face them, the twins corned Haldir and Erestor in one of the gardens.

"You know, this seems to be a very popular place for playing or planning pranks." Erestor remarked. The twins blushed. It was their favorite place to plan pranks (their favorite oak was just visible in the far corner). It was also where the dye had been dumped on Galadriel and where Erestor discovered their secret.

Haldir grinned. "It is a bit fitting though. After all, we need to talk about extracting revenge on two elves..."

Elrohir shook his head. "Why should we help you?" He demanded. "After all, we'll just get into even more trouble if we pull more pranks!"

Elladan punched him lightly in the arm. "We're helping them because if we don't they'll tell Ada that we're switching places every six months!"

Erestor waited until they had stopped their bickering before speaking. "Now, we can help you with getting ideas and with the supplies, but we'll need you're help to fine tune everything, set it up, and actually pull this off. Besides, just think of this as revenge for sending you away."

The twins grinned, the familiar evil glint back in their eyes. "So, what exactly did you have in mind?" They asked.

Haldir laughed. "Something involving dye, glue, nuts, bread crumbs, and some squirrels and a LOT of nuts." Elladan and Elrohir leaned in closer to listen. This sounded like it was going to be fun...
