Disclaimer: -sigh- Don't we all know this by now? None of it is mine!

A/N: This is the last chapter. I know I had promised two more... but my muse decided to change the ending of my story for me. All we have left is the epilogue. I want to give a HUGE thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far: Cowgirl4Christ, AuroraExecution, LadyOfTheCelticLand, kanefire, AquaRias, Kalisona, Time and Fate, lackam, funkyjazzcat, and Elflingimp. You guys rock!

The day had started off normally enough. There was no sign of any pranks or mischief anywhere. Maybe they aren't planning revenge... Elrond thought as he walked towards breakfast with Celeborn. Maybe they really have-

CRASH! Elrond realized what had happened. The twins had managed to get their revenge.

XXXXX

It goes without saying that the two elf lords spent the day in their rooms, trying to clean up the mess. The problem was that, like most of the twins' pranks, it was extremely difficult to clean up. It was also, by far, the most elaborate prank he had ever seen them pull off. It was bad enough that they dumped bright pink quick-drying glue on top of them, but them a whole bag full of bread crumbs and chopped nuts had come down on top of that. Then three hungry, rabid, insane squirrels were released right over their heads. So what do the squirrels go after first?

That's right: the nuts.

Elrond really had no idea why they included bread crumbs, but he assumed that it had something to do with the fact that his skin now looked like it was crumbling off of him. This was definitely not the way he planned to go to the dinner.

The twins had to have had help in this; he just knew they did. They couldn't have gotten all of the supplies and came up with the idea by themselves. Well, it was possible that they had the idea, but getting the supplies was a different matter. Besides, public embarrassment, especially at an important dinner, was not their style.

Elrond growled in frustration and began pacing his room, having long ago abandoned the thought of trying to remove the bread crumbs and nuts from his skin. Who would be insane enough to help the twins with revenge? Who wanted revenge on both him and Celeborn? Who would want to see two elf lords embarrassed at an important feast? Who would-?

Elrond stopped pacing, having suddenly realized who were behind the whole prank. It was so obvious. He was amazed he didn't get it before. How could he have forgotten The Prank that he pulled off with Celeborn over a hundred years ago?

And now they had gotten their revenge.

XXXXX

"When will they show up?" Elladan whispered to his brother. Elrohir shrugged and continued to stare intently where their parents and grandparents were going to enter. It should be any minute now. Any... minute...

The door as the end of the hall flew open and the two couples walked in. There was dead silence and then... insane laughter.

Celeborn seemed to be controlling himself very well, with only a slight twitch near his eye alerting the bystanders to the fact that he should not be approached. Elrond, however, was used to the reactions the twins' pranks had and did not show any sign of discomfort. He walked over to Erestor, Haldir, and the twins and whispered. "Outside. Now."

The four guilty elves decided it was probably a good idea not to anger him and followed him and Celeborn outside. They had just stepped outside when... CRASH!

A bucket of hot pink quick-drying glue fell on top of them.

Followed by breadcrumbs and chopped nuts.

Which was followed by the squirrels.

Elrond and Celeborn watched in satisfaction as the guilty elves screamed and ran through the courtyard, trying to shake off the mad squirrels. The twins came over to the elf lords, a very dangerous look in their eyes.

Elladan stumbled off to his room, mumbling something like "Death, death, death..." under his breath. Elrohir glared at Elrond and Celeborn before following his brother inside.

Elrond and Celeborn were not really worried. After all, they had gotten the twins with one of their own pranks. The twins wouldn't do anything for a long, long time.

And nothing did happen for a long, long time, so one could argue that the separation did do some good. After Elrond and Celeborn got revenge the twins pretty much ceased their pranks, limiting it to only a few a year, then one a year, then one every few years. After their mother sailed the pranks stopped entirely.

Until a young human boy, called Estel by the elves, came to live at Rivendell and, after awhile, starting pulling his own pranks.

And the twins remembered that they owed two elves a very special little prank...

THE END

A/N: Don't worry; I will have an epilogue up in (hopefully) a week or so. Virtual cookies to whoever guesses what will happen in the epilogue.
