A few months into the quest
"This way!" Gandalf cried, ushering everyone into the hidden pass.
"I told you! No elves!" Thorin cried in frustration. "I won't seek help from elves."
"Lord Elrond has done you no wrong. He is the only person who can help you read the runes on your map. If we stay here then the orcs will find us. We have to go to Rivendell." Gandalf looked fed up with the stubbornness of dwarves. Fili and Kili exchanged glances.
"Thorin, if Gandalf says that Elrond is the only one who can read those runes, then wouldn't it be best to go. Don't let your hatred for elves stop us from getting to Erebor." Fili said, trying to defuse the situation. He knew that Gandalf was right, but he also wanted to see Elladan and Elrohir again.
"Fine! Lead the way Gandalf." Thorin wasn't happy, but he grudgingly admitted defeat.
"Do you think-"
"Yes, they might-"
"-they are-"
"-Uncle say?-"
Everyone was confused at Fili and Kili's conversation, but left them to it. They all knew the brothers and understood that they didn't need words to communicate. Bilbo, on the other hand, was bemused by the whole thing and had to ask Balin what was happening.
"Those two have a special bond, laddie. Have ever since Kili was born. They always know what the other is feeling and if one is lost, the other can usually find them. You just get used to it."
"Okay…."
"Rivendell. The Last Homely House East of the Sea. Also know as Imladris. Home of Lord Elrond." Gandalf wanted to prove to everyone that he still knew everything, Fili thought. But he didn't know that he and Kili already knew that. Bilbo probably knew it as well, he was always asking about maps, so he must know of this place.
The company shuffled into the open archway into a courtyard, all a bit nervous, even if some would never admit to it. Before anyone could do anything, horns blew and a group of elves came riding into Rivendell and surrounded them. The dwarves instinctively formed a ring and pushed the non-combatants (Bilbo and Ori) into the middle. Fili and Kili were stuck not knowing quite what to do.
One of the elves winked at the brothers, too quickly for anyone else to have realised, but they saw it. An identical elf came up beside the first and also winked. Fili and Kili grinned back, but hastily switched their faces back to neutral when Thorin glanced their direction.
"Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thrain, son of Thrór. Why are you here?" An elf who Fili assumed must be Elrond, said. Thorin didn't say anything, just stared at Elrond with his usual distaste. Gandalf sighed and spoke to Elrond in elvish, obviously telling him all about the quest. Thorin was growling audibly now, peeved that Gandalf would tell an outsider, an elf no less, about something of utmost importance. The twins, Fili and Kili were trying not to giggle, so made no eye contact with each other.
After Gandalf and Elrond had finished talking, Elrond turned back to the company of elves and dismissed them. He then turned to the dwarves and offered them food and beds. The dwarves agreed before Thorin could utter a word, for much of their supplies had been lost during the journey. Fili and Kili stayed at the back of the group so no-one noticed when they slipped away and went round the corner to where the two elves were standing grinning.
"Well met Fili and Kili." Elladan smiled.
"It has been a long time since we last saw each other. You have grown since then." Elrohir added.
"Sixteen years to be precise." Kili said. The twins smiled.
"What have you been up to since we last met?" Fili asked. The twins exchange looks before Elladan launched into an explanation.
"Well, we took the plant that you gave us, look here it is, and we did as you said and put it into a hair bottle which we replaced with our fathers shampoo. We thought it would be really funny. The only problem was, Thranduil was here and according to his son Legolas, he always steals shampoo, so he had pink hair! Ada was not happy… Everyone else thought it was hilarious though, even if they didn't say so. I personally pity Legolas who had to live with him afterwards!"
"It was pretty awesome." Elrohir added.
"That sound so cool!" Kili enthused.
"We didn't quite do what you suggested because our mother would've literally murdered us if we had. We did do lots of little things." Fili began, but let Kili finish as he looked really excited.
"We made cakes and laid a trail round the house to a cupboard where we hid. When Thorin opened the door we jumped out and started playing a jig. We got Mum and Thorin to dance together! We kept increasing the speed so they almost fell over! It was really funny!" Kili looked so happy, Fili thought, unlike he had been when the trolls got him. The twins laughed and showed them to the main hall where everyone was already eating. Most of the dwarves were drunk and so didn't think much of Fili and Kili coming in with two elves but Thorin gave them a suspicious look. They went over to him and before he could say anything, Kili butted in.
"Those two dyed Thranduil's hair pink!" Thorin was shocked. That was not what he had been expecting at all. After a few moments of shocked silence, he burst out laughing.
The rest of the evening was spent merrily, with the twins and Fili and Kili joking together until the next morning. They also spent that time plotting their next prank.
Finally! A re-union! Yay!
And I don't have any ideas of what their next prank should be so if you have any ideas, please message me.
Please review and tell me what you think!
