The prank war
Chapter 2
It was freezing outside even for an elf. The luminous moon shone of the backs of two fair haired elves sneaking in the garden below it. Glorfindel and Legolas were plundering Elrond's herb garden.
"Here it is! Have you got yours?" Legolas whispered to Glorfindel, who was scouring the herb beds on the other side of the garden as he pocketed the herbs he had been looking for.
"Not yet," he hissed back.
"Well hurry up, Elladan and Elrohir won't stay in the hall of fire forever," Legolas muttered, coming over to help Glorfindel.
"Ha, finally, I got mine!" Glorfindel said, as he wiped the mud off his midnight blue leggings. Legolas gestured for the two of them to go inside.
"Right, you get Elladan, I'll take Elrohir," Legolas whispered to Glorfindel as they stopped in a small alcove not far from the twin's rooms. "Remember be quick and don't leave a mess!"
Glorfindel nodded, taking off down one of the corridors, treading silently as only an elf can do.

Legolas peered round the shadowed corridor, lit by only a few lamps. Good it's empty, he thought as he tiptoed up to Elrohir's door. Holding his breath he opened the door a crack. There was no one there. Releasing his breath he entered the room shutting the door quietly behind him.
Elrohir's room was spacious, filled with antique mahogany furniture. His sword propped upon his cluttered desk and crumpled tunics flung all over the floor. Legolas shook his head as he made his way to the bathroom; the twins were renowned for being messy buggers as their rooms proved.
Legolas grabbed Elrohir's shampoo and conditioner bottles and pulled the herbs that he had collected from the garden out of his pocket. Crushing the colorful herbs in his fingers he divided them between both bottles. Closing the lids, he shook the bottles for a few minutes and then put them back where he found them. He shuddered as he saw the amount hair stuck in the plug hole of the bath.
Chuckling to himself he headed for the door, only to stop when he heard someone come down the corridor and head for this room.
Oh shit, he thought as he dived under the bed. Not a moment too soon as just then Elrohir walked in to the room.
Legolas watched Elrohir's legs as they crossed the room. He flinched when Elrohir sat down on the bed. Damn it, he thought, I'll have to wait till he's asleep before I can go.
Just then Elrohir moaned, Legolas eyes widened as he realized what Elrohir was doing just above him.
The bed started to squeak and Legolas was hard pressed not the laugh. He slapped a hand across his mouth in an effort not to laugh; his ribs were starting to protest against this torture.
"Come on baby!" Elrohir moaned. "That's it your nearly there!"
That nearly did it for Legolas. It was only through sheer will power that he managed not to laugh. This is too good, he thought, Erestor and Glorfindel are going to piss themselves laughing when they hear of this.
Legolas had to push his face in to the floor as mental images of Glorfindel and Erestor doing just that entered his head.

Two hours later, when Elrohir was snoring like a dwarf, Legolas pulled himself up from under the bed and sneaked out of the room.
Once he had put a good distance between himself and Elrohir's room he broke into a run, heading for Glorfindel's study.
Bursting through the door he was confronted by and angry Balrog-slayer and chief adviser.
"Just where have you been?" Erestor said, an edge to his voice, as he eyed Legolas.
"Sorry, Elrohir came back early and I had to hide under the bed." Legolas replied. Making sure the door was closed he sat down in an empty armchair and stretched his cramped limbs.
"How did it go?" Legolas asked Glorfindel.
"Good, good" He replied "You?"
"Well, it was fine till Elrohir walked in. I thought you were supposed to keep them in the hall of fire Erestor!" He said glaring at said elf.
"I could hardly strap them to a chair now could I? You should have been quicker!" Erestor snapped.
"Yes well, you'll never guess what Elrohir did while I was hiding..." He said, a grin spreading across his face.
"What?" Erestor and Glorfindel said at the same time.
"He jacked himself off whilst moaning 'come on baby' and 'that's it your nearly there'!"
A shocked silence greeted his words till Glorfindel erupted into roars of laughter with Erestor not far behind. Legolas joined in and before long they all had tears of mirth running down their face. They didn't stop laughing till their sides were hurting and they had to gasp for breath.
"I can't wait to the look of the twins faces tomorrow!" Glorfindel hiccuped in between chuckles.
"Aye" Agreed Legolas and Erestor as they opened a bottle of Dorwinion that Glorfindel 'borrowed' from Elladan's room.
