Chapter 1

Clip clop, clip clop, clip clop, clip clop. Legolas thought he might strangle someone if he ever heard that confounded sound ever again! He was young, fourteen, but didn't look it; He was tiny for an elfling of his age. Legolas and his father, as well as a large group from Lasgalen, were traveling to Ilmadris. Soon they would arrive. He sped up his horse to catch up to his father.

"Ada" Said Legolas, "Does Lord Elrond have any elflings?"

Thranduil smiled at his son. "Yes, Legolas he does, three."

"Three?" Exclaimed Legolas happily. "Boys?"

"Two of them are."

"Excellent! How old?"

"The two boys are both seventeen, and the girl is your age."

"But how… can… they… both… be… seventeen?" Said Legolas, puzzled.

Thranduil laughed. "They are twins Legolas! Twins."

Twins! What fun! Legolas was overjoyed. "What are all their names, then?"

"Well, the twins are Elladan and Elrohir, although there is no real way of telling which is which, as they are identical, and the girl is Arwen."

Legolas, pleased with that, settled into the small remainder of their journey.

Elladan and Elrohir were bored. Dead bored. Bored beyond all considerable reasoning of being bored. Another important guest was coming today. King Thranduil of Lasgalen, or whatever. Whoop-ditty-do-da-day. They could really care less. Elladan suddenly spoke.

"Ada, if Thranduil is the king of Lasgalen, is there a prince of Lasgalen?"

"Or a princess?" Added Arwen hopefully.

Elrond smiled. "Yes, apparently he is the terror of the palace. Nearly as bad as the two of you, I hear."

The twins high-fived each other. "Excellent!" They said in chorus.

Then it was Elrohirs turn: "What's his name?"

"Legolas" Elrond said simply.

Elladan looked cautiously at his father. "How old?" He said not relishing being stuck with baby-sitting duty.

"Arwens age"

Arwens eyes lit up. She had recently become rather obsessed with every boy in sight. "Is he cute?" She asked. Elladan and Elrohir laughed uproaresly.

Elrond looked rather flustered. "How would I know Arwen, even if I had Seen the boy?"

Arwen shrugged, and ran off to primp. It would only been an hour until the guests arrived.

A/N: I know its short and boring. The action and angst start very soon!
