The Prank War
Chapter 4
Sticking his sensitive ear to the door, Elladan could make out an argument quickly brewing in Glorfindel's study.
Glancing at his twin who was acting as look out at the end of the corridor, he listened harder to the muffled voices on the other side of the door.
"... could you do that? ... All of us took part in it..." Elladan heard a thud like someone pounding their fist on a table or wall, or maybe a person.
"Be glad we are not in Mirkwood... leaving you in there to rot!"
He heard muffled protests as he backed silently away from the door. Dragging his twin along the busy corridors, he stopped outside his room.
"Legolas is giving both of them a right ear bashing," Elladan chuckled.
"Arwen was right then? Glorfindel and Erestor were part of it?" Elrohir sighed, shaking his head.
"Indeed."
Opening the door, they slipped in to the room. It was much like Elrohir's if not a bit dirtier. The only real difference was that this room did not hold any books whilst his twin's had a whole shelf load.
Elrohir made to sit down, "Yuck! Elladan what is this supposed to be?" he cried, lifting a plate of pungent green mold off the seat. He dumped it on the desk as quickly as he could.
Elladan just shrugged. "I don't even remember putting that there."
"No wonder the maids petitioned against having to clean your room! And I thought mine was bad!" Elrohir muttered as he sat down, discreetly wiping his hands on his leggings.
Elladan rolled his eyes at him as he rummaged through the wooden trunk at the bottom of his bed.
"Where is it?" Elladan growled, pinching the bridge of his nose as if warding off a headache.
"Where's what?"
"The Dorwinion, it's gone!" Elladan sighed, collapsing on the bed with a grunt. "I won that in a game of cards against Thranduil."
"When did you do that?" Elrohir said in disbelief, "Nobody wins against Thranduil, he cheats!"
Elladan laughed, "Who said I wasn't cheating as well? It also helped that he was completely smashed and probably does not remember a single thing." He pulled a face, "That was my wine... mine!"
Elrohir lifted an eyebrow, "It's not my fault you lost it! Now let's get back to plotting Legolas doom, shall we?" he said in a cheery voice.

"Are we agreed?"
"But if we warn them, they will be on the lookout for any retaliation from us!" Elrohir argued, his head resting in his arms.
"Yes..." He began slowly, "But it will make them paranoid and that will be amusing to watch, and they won't expect any one else but us to prank them!" Elladan countered, slightly exasperated with his brother.
Elrohir nodded, "Fine then, I agree."

Glorfindel walked in to his study, arms laden with reports from the border patrols around Imladris and updates about the youngling's training.
He stopped dead at the sight of a piece of parchment stuck to the wall by a blue fletched arrow, above the 'borrowed' Dorwinion bottle. He placed the reports on his desk and pulled the arrow out of the wall with a hard tug. He gulped as he read the parchment.
Be warned: We are on to you!
Glorfindel, Erestor, and Legolas
El & El
Oh no, thought with a sinking feeling. He hurriedly walked to the library intent of finding Erestor.
He glanced around the library and spotted Erestor in the west wing barking at a young brown-haired ellon who had probably breathed to loud.
He waved him over. Showing him the paper, he watched as the blood drained out of the advisors face.
"When did you get this?" Erestor asked.
"Just now," he replied, shuffling his feet on the marble floor.
"Something tells me I'm not going to get a lot of work done in the next few weeks," Erestor muttered, more to himself than to Glorfindel.

The next few weeks were hell for three particular ellyn, any loud noise made them jump; they sniffed suspiciously at any food or drink offered to them. The rest of the population of Rivendell watched in confused amusement as three highly respected elves turned into a bag of nerves.
A day came in the middle of summer that no elf forgot for some time.
