The twins were hanging in a net off the chandelier. Their swords hung beside the net, just out of reach.

"Just so you know, there is to be a gathering here in an hour." Legolas stated, "If you surrender now, I'll let you down gently. So, do you surrender?"

"Absolutely not!" Elladan screamed at Legolas.

"Maybe we should..." Elrohir murmured.

"Shut up!" Elladan snapped, "Let us down!"

"Not until you surrender." Legolas sang half mockingly and half tauntingly. The twins turned away as the spiders lost interest in them and scurried away and down the holes of the net.

"Okay, suit yourself" Estel said cheerfully. Legolas and Estel skipped away happily then disappeared through the doors.

"Great, we could have gotten down!" Elrohir said looking very annoyed at Elladan. Elladan didn't reply but punched Elrohir.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?!" Elrohir demanded.

"Everything." Elladan said stoically, gesturing vaguely to their situation.

"Point taken." Elrohir said shrugging. Despite the sap and flour they managed to work together and tear the net open. The two ran out if the room just in time to bump into Thranduil.

"So have you found my little 'hermit' yet?" Thranduil asked cheerily.

"Yes, we did." the twins said through gritted teeth.

"Good then." Thranduil said, then patting them each on the shoulder, knowing very well that they wouldn't be allowed to hurt him.

"What I would give to strangle him..." Elladan said.

"Believe me, I agree." Elrohir replied. Elladan opened his mouth but closed it deciding not to say anything.

"So, spiders the new dye, huh?" Elladan said slowly.

"I guess so..." Elrohir said with a scheming look.

"I like it!" Elrohir concluded. Because they were sticky, they had to deal with many elves looking at them, wonder what had happened. They took to glaring at anyone who did stare until the stare-er looked away. Eventually they made it back to their rooms.

"So where are we getting spiders?" Elladan asked through the hole in the wall.

"Like Legolas said; we'll get our sources..." Elrohir said maliciously.

`'~*~'`'~*~'`'~*~'`'~*~'

The twins ventured deep into the woods armed with bows, since after escaping from the net, they hadn't been able to immediately retrieve their swords and Estel had claimed them back.

"Did you hear that?" Elrohir asked, hearing a very quiet rustling.

"Yeah I did." Elladan replied. The two readied their bows. A short haired elf stepped out of a bush

"Don't look at me!" the elf said, he jumped back into the bush and tried to escape but Elladan and Elrohir were curious. The twins silently followed the elf to a hut very deep in the woods.

"Where is your hair?" Elrohir asked the elf turned and ran into his hut.

"We won't tell anyone" Elladan said, the elf opened the door and looked at them.

"Are you sure?" the elf said skeptically.

"Yes!" the twins said with an annoyed tone

"Come inside" the elf said. The twins came inside and sat down. The hut was a humble place and felt warm and cozy. Soon the elf started to explain,

"Well you see, back when I was a young elf at 2050 years old I was in this immature prank war with two other elves, it had been going on for a while until their prank had gone too far. They had cut my hair into a short pixie cut while I was sleeping. I was so ashamed of my hair I decided to do something. That's when I decided to hide out in the woods and live out the rest of my days as a hermit until my hair grew back." the elf explained.

"What are the chances…?" Elrohir said to Elladan.

"So you say you were in a prank war huh?" Elrohir asked.

"Yes, I suppose you two would find a prank war foolish." the elf said with his head down.

"No! Not at all!" Elladan said, "In fact were in a prank war right now! That's why we were in the woods, we were looking for spiders to get revenge."

"What did they do?" the elf asked intrigued.

"Well, they caught us in nets, then dumped spiders on us, next tree sap, and dumped flour on us with the spider sap still on us, and as a finishing touch caught us in more hanging nets and left us there because there was a banquet in an hour." Elrohir said

"Wait, you're looking for spiders?" the elf said. He walked away and came back with a huge jar of tiny baby spiders scuttling around in the jar, "I've been collecting them ever since the two elves cut my hair, I was going to use them for revenge when the time came, but you seem like you need them." he said.

The twins accepted the jar and made an agreement to have a jar of spiders every two weeks in exchange for a bottle of hair product.

"Hannon le-" the twins trailed off.

"We never got a name" Elladan said.

"I am Lebolas" he replied.

"Hannon le Lebolas" the two said in unison

"Oh by the way, who were the two elves you were warring with?" Elrohir asked out of curiosity.

"Their names were Elrond and Thranduil, I don't think you would know them." Lebolas said.

"ELROND?!" the twins yelled, "He's our father!"

"He has never told you." Lebolas said with an amused tone. The twins walked away laughing at the fact their own father was a prankster as well!

"No wonder Thranduil went along with Legolas' and Estel's prank..." Elladan said quietly to himself.

'~*~'`'~*~'`'~*~'`'~*~'

The next day Legolas marched triumphantly into the dining hall and sat down beside Elladan

"How are you this fine morning mellon nîn?" he asked mockingly.

"Fine. Very fine, thank you." Elladan said with a fake smile. Elladan grabbed Legolas' arm as Elrohir grabbed Estel as he made his way into the dining hall. The twins dragged them into the hall and pulled two sacks that were moving and squirming.

"Any last words?" Elrohir asked

"Yes. ESTEL! RUN!" Legolas yelled but the twins had thought ahead and pulled out a spray bottle with liquid in it, they sprayed Legolas and Estel with the liquid and the two fell into sleep. When the pair woke they were stuck to the floor of Estel's room with furniture varnish and the twins were standing above them, they smiled and shoved sacks of baby siders on Legolas and Estel heads. The spiders crawled all over the human and elf then crawled on to their arms and legs the twins dumped flour, honey, dye, and feathers on to the pair and un-stuck them from the floor and locked the door from the outside. Legolas broke the door and Estel followed the twins ran to the library. Elladan and Elrohir ran down an isle and pressed their backs up against the book shelf Legolas and Estel turned the corner.

"ELLADAN! ELROHIR!" screamed Legolas. The twins ran down the aisle and through twisted confusing pathways and turned erratically and around sharp corners.

"Estel is coming." Elrohir whispered.

"I know." Elladan replied they crept around the book case to the thinner part of it. Elrohir peaked around the corner.

"Watch out! He's right there!" Elladan gestured to Legolas on the opposite side. Legolas walked down the aisle of books.

"Go, go, go!" Elladan screamed the twins ran into a small crevice that was hard to see unless you looked at every little detail of the library.

"Go!" Elladan whispered the twins were kneeling beside each other.

"Yeah well I would but you're blocking my exit!" Elrohir replied a bit louder.

"Well was it my fault that your leg was sticking out the side?!" Elladan said sarcastically.

"You know what? I'm fed up with you!" Elrohir said, he stood up and ran back into the library Elladan ran after him.

"Ready to execute the next step?" Elrohir asked.

"Totally" Elladan replied.

"HEY LEGOLAS HEY ESTEL!" the twins yelled Legolas turned his head and gestured for Estel to follow. The twins ran out of the library and into the hallway, Legolas and Estel continued to chase the twins.

"NOW!" Elrohir screamed all at once Elladan pulled a string on the wall which tipped a bucket over a slimy solution with green and brown colors covered Legolas and Estel from head to toe. The slime spread out in a clear tarp on the ground and Elrohir pulled another string that picked Legolas and Estel up.

"What is this stuff?!" Legolas screamed.

"You know those toads?" Elladan asked with a smile.

"Well, let's just say they helped us out." Elrohir finished also smiling. Elrohir who was still holding the string supporting both the friends' weight let go and they fell to the floor face first Legolas looked up painfully

"Where did you get the spiders?!" Legolas asked.

"We have our sources." the twins replied as the twins dumped the last of the spiders on Legolas and Estel's head. The twins high fived and looked down at the pair on the ground. Elladan reached into his bag and pulled out golden hair tied neatly with a ribbon

"Here, clean yourself up!" Elladan said throwing the hair at Legolas' head, the twins walked off laughing.
