Two Men and a Thorn Bush
By tHe InSaNe OnE
AN- AH! So, another chapter is up! Mwahahahahaha! Foolish mortals thinking I would not post! Yet, here I am, and it is posted! LoL!
Thank you so much for your wonderful reviews! *bows down and kisses reviewers feet* You all spoil me, seriously! You're too good for me for my good and your own! Thanks for all your kindness! It really does keep me writing.
Where were Estel and the twins? Um, sleeping I suppose. ^_^ I didn't really ask them about it!
Well, no further ado! Many thanks to those who gave me info on Celebrian! It will help me start writing my next story! Mwahahaha, read and enjoy people. Perhaps, maybe, you could review too?
~*~
"ACHOOO!" Legolas sneezed violently, and doubled over. Okay, sneezing. It was a phenomenon that happened very rarely to elves. So, it happened maybe once or twice to him in his whole life. Someone had tickled his nose, or water had trickled in or something. But still, this was the fiftieth time he had sneezed so far. Something was terribly wrong. Putting on his best puppy dog face, he turned to Lord Elrond who was sitting in a chair nearby.
"I feel terrible," he whined in a nasally voice. His nose was clogged up as well. With what, he had no idea, but it was annoying.
Elrond looked at him with relatively no pity at all. The elven lord looked terrible. His hair was messed, his braids frizzled and tangled in what appeared to be a brown rat's nest. Large, dark bags were under his eyes, which contrasted against his paler-than-normal face. His eyes, on top of it all, were incredibly blood shot and glazed. He looked wrinkled, unkempt and very un-Elrondish.
Legolas blinked.
Elrond blinked back, and sighed.
"Yes, you sound terrible too," the frustrated father replied. He rubbed his temples and leaned back in his chair. It was quiet. Too quiet. The twins were up to something and Estel was most likely planning with them. Ah, the horror. He did not need any more stress at the moment.
"What's wrong with me?" Legolas demanded, sniffling. He wanted to know, and he wanted to know now.
"Stop whining and I'll consider telling you," Elrond snapped in reply. He had a headache that conquered any other, and it wasn't caused by his son's for once.
Legolas pursed his lips, giving the elf lord his patented death glare.
Elrond turned his gaze to a nearby window and stared out it. The morning was bright and cheerful. The sky was a pure blue color, not a cloud to be seen. The air smelled fresh and clean, and the grass was the brightest green. The sounds of people talking and laughing rang through the air as well as the singing of birds.
Elrond hated it. He hated every bit of happiness at the moment. He wanted to destroy it all with his ring and then take over the world. Yes, yes, he would make it a dark and gloomy world.
"Lord Elrond?" Legolas was frightened that perhaps the dark haired elf was going into another one of his "insanities". He was not keen on experiencing THAT again.
"You have a cold."
The answer was lost on Legolas. The blonde haired prince of Mirkwood didn't have the slightest clue as to what Elrond was talking about. Well, he did have a clue but the idea of a cold was beyond him. He was an elf. Elves did not get human ailments. Colds were human ailments. Lord Elrond must've really lost it this time.
"Huh?"
"Is that hard to understand?" Elrond asked sarcastically, focusing back on the prince. "Let me put it in easier terms. You are sick. Not from poison, but from whatever makes Estel sick. Your elven immunities have been lowered to the point that you have caught a common cold. Do we comprehend?"
Legolas nodded mutely. This wasn't happening. Not to him. Not illness. He was an elf. He wasn't sick. This wasn't fair! Damn that stupid human! When he was through with Estel...........
"Good. There is very little I can do other than let the disease run its course. I'll give you a few herbs to clear your nose and I will give you another herb to help the itching." Elrond stood up and staggered to the table top where his herbs were resting.
Legolas stared after him in a mild form of shock. It was only mild because, as of late, nothing surprised him anymore. No, ever since he had met Estel, flying wargs and purple orcs were the only things that could really scare him. Okay, so getting sick scared him too, but it didn't really surprise him.
Unconsciously, he started scratching his arm. He had been doing it all night in his sleep. Red, shiny patches covered his skin, giving him the strangest look. He had yet to look at himself in a mirror, which was a blessing within itself, for he still thought that it wasn't THAT bad. Oh, if only the poor, delusional little elf knew.......
Elrond approached him once more, and the elven lord flinched inwardly at the sight before him. Legolas was a complete and total mess. That was okay though, as long as he didn't leave the room, he would never know and no one would tell him. Elrond wasn't sure if he could take anymore screaming in his home, and the yell that Legolas would let out when he saw himself would be an ear shattering one.
"Drink this, and this," Rivendell's Lord commanded, handing Legolas two separate cups. "One is to help with the itching, the other is to clear your nose up and stop the sneezing. After you're finished, I want you to stay here and rest. I have to go check on the twins, Estel and Glorfindel and make sure they are all in one piece."
Legolas stared at him for a few seconds. The elven prince did not want to stay in bed. No, he wanted to get out of this room and do something. Anything to get his mind off the dreadful itching and the mortal cold. That and he had to plan his revenge on Aragorn. At that moment, the briefest flicker of an idea came to mind, and he grinned evilly on the inside.
"Why don't you just rest Lord Elrond," the young elf offered. "I'll go check on them. Don't you worry."
Elrond raised an eyebrow, not liking the tone Legolas was using. Something about it irked him. The gleam that was in the blonde's eyes was rather frightening, leaving the elf lord wondering if he had put too many painkilling herbs in the medicines.
"Nay, Legolas," Elrond sighed, "you need to rest more than I do. The best way to cure a cold is to rest. I thank you for your generous offer."
"No, really, Elrond!" Legolas responded, nearly desperate. "Please, I promise to be good."
A small bark of laughter escaped the other. "What?"
"I promise to be good if you let me go."
Elrond felt like he was talking to a small elfling, not a grown elf who was nearly three thousand. "Really now? You promise to stay out of trouble?"
"Yes!"
Elrond ran a hand through his tangled hair. "Well, I suppose you can go." A war whoop sounded from Legolas. "Under the condition that you avoid Estel. The last thing I need is for him to catch your cold. Just check on the twins and Glor for me and make sure that everyone is alright. Do you understand?"
Legolas nodded mutely.
"Good, now drink your medicine and you can go. If you need me I'll be in my study." His lips twitching with the vaguest amount of amusement, Elrond gracefully exited. Legolas downed the two cups of bitter droughts quickly, and then hopped out of bed. Three sneezes escaped him when he stood, and he waited for a few seconds to see if there would be anymore. When none came, he quickly slunk out of the room, in search of his prey.
First the twins.
Then Glor.
And last, but not least, he would release his revenge on Estel.
"IT'S MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!" The shout sounded from a nearby room, and the voice was that of Elrohir. Legolas crept into the room, cracking the door slightly, peering in cautiously. The twins were sitting on the floor, with the shades in the room pulled. A bag was sitting in between them, and Legolas could make out small berries running from the mouth of it. A set of dice was also lying there beside the bag, and Elrohir was pointing finger at his twin's face.
"IT IS MINE!" the younger twin exclaimed, pointing to a lone berry on the floor.
"Is not!" Elladan shot back. "You are a cheater! I bet the dice are loaded!"
"I don't cheat!"
"Yes you do!"
"It's mine anyway! I call it!" Elrohir quickly grabbed the berry and prepared to pop it into his mouth. Elladan stopped him though, pouncing on his twin before the berry left his hand. Elrohir struggled, trying to get away, but Elladan had him pinned.
"It's mine now!" Elladan cried, stealing the blue mushy blob from his look alike and popping it into his mouth. Elrohir scowled and squirmed underneath him
Legolas blinked and cleared his throat.
Both twins turned to him, and for the first time he saw that their faces were rather red tinged.
"Why, hello fair Prince of Mirkwood!" Elladan exclaimed.
"How are you on this fair day?" Elrohir asked, looking him over. "Other than, slightly spotted."
Legolas grimaced, and scratched his one arm. "I'm fine, your father sent me to check up on you."
"Father?"
"I think he's talking about that man who thinks he's our Ada but isn't, 'Dan."
"Oh, him."
"Yes, him."
"Well, we're fine."
"Yup, perfectly fine."
"So, would you like to play with us in a game of odds and evens?" Elladan asked, picking up the dice, smiling happily.
"Ummmm," Legolas said uncertainly, looking at the berries. "Exactly what are you playing for?"
"Promise not to tell that man who isn't our Ada?" Elrohir whispered, looking around suspiciously.
"Yes....." Legolas answered.
"Well, you see, last night after we got you out of that bush-"
"-we went right to bed. When-"
"-we woke up this morning, we had terrible headaches and felt slightly-"
"-ill but then we remembered-"
"-the cure all-"
"-yes, the panacea-"
"-so, to make it a bit more fun, we decided to play odds and evens-"
"-to see who would get more of the cure all."
"So, dear prince," Elladan finished, "would you like to play? You seem to be in need of a few berries."
"Exactly, what kind of berries are these?" Legolas asked, coming into the room a bit more, looking at the bright blue balls.
"Promise not to tell that man who thinks he's our Ada only because he's drunk but he's not really our Ada?" Elrohir questioned.
"I promise," Legolas answered, not really sure if Elrond would want to know.
"Well, they are the great-"
"-all-powerful-"
"-MENFIL BERRIES!" The twins finished together, grinning broadly. Legolas suddenly wished he was at home in Mirkwood. When Elrond found out about this............
"So, want some?" Elrohir asked, patting the ground next to him.
"Uh, that's okay, I still have to go check on Glor."
"Awww, you sure?" Elladan whined.
"Yes, I am."
"Oh well, your loss."
"Yup." Elladan put the dice into a cup, rolled them around and slapped the cup over onto the ground.
"Evens!" Elrohir bellowed. Elladan lifted the cup to reveal snake eyes.
"You cheat!"
"I do not!"
"The dice are loaded!"
"Come on! Just because I've won EVERY time doesn't mean they're loaded."
"Well, considering that they have been snake eyes every time-"
"Oh, stop being a sore loser, and let me have my berry!"
"NO!"
"Don't make me fight you!"
"Like you could defeat me!"
At this point, Legolas left the room but he could hear the two of them wrestling as he padded down the hall. Forget checking on Glor. After all, Glor was an old elf-lord. He would be fine. A little crack on the head never hurt anyone that badly. Slinking past the room he knew was Glorfindel's, he headed towards Estel's. Now, time to exact his revenge.
There had been numerous occasions in the prince's life where Estel had fallen ill. Each time, Legolas remembered how much the young man had hated it, and how "terrible" it had been. Of course, he had the perfect revenge. Estel had tortured him by making him fall into the thorn bush and now he was going to torture Estel. He only hoped that whatever had made him sick would actually pass on to the human.
Opening Estel's door, he strode in, noting that the curtains were stilled closed in the man's room.
"Estel?"
There was a moan from the bed, and Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir to Gondor, sat up. Sleep was still in his eyes, and he blinked at Legolas with very little comprehension.
"How are you feeling today, my friend?" Legolas asked, trying to sound like he really cared.
"Mmmphhh." Aragorn flopped backwards, and pulled a blanket over his head.
Legolas grinned evilly, "Is that so? Well, that is always good." He sat down on the edge of the bed, and sneezed. Aragorn peeked out from underneath the blanket, confusion in his eyes.
"D'you jus' 'neeze?"
"Pardon?"
"D'you jus' sneeze?"
"Why yes, I did. Must have been some dust in the air." Legolas grinned, and sneezed again.
"You jus' 'neezed again." Aragorn was lost and confused, not quite understanding why Legolas was in his room and why he was sneezing. He just wanted to rest...........
"Yes." Legolas decided he had done all he could really do and now, he would have to come back later to see if it worked. Standing up, he bid his friend farewell. "Well, its good to hear you're feeling okay, nin mellon. See you when you get up!"
The elf exited the room, it good spirits and decided to go check up on Glorfindel. However, the plan was stopped in its tracks when the unfortunate blonde elf passed a mirror. His eyes grew, and he stared at himself for a few seconds.
The shriek that ran through the house sounded like that of a wraith. But, no one paid it any mind. After all, it was Rivendell. Strange noises emanating from miscellaneous places was nothing new.
~*~
Lord Elrond left his office that night feeling refreshed and relaxed. He had changed his clothes, his hair was brushed, and he was smiling. He had yet to hear from any of his sons, or his fellow elf lords, or his sons' friends. No servants had come to bring news of destruction or injury to him. Everything was so nice and calm and peaceful. It was almost too good to be true. A small laugh escaped his lips as he treaded towards Legolas' room. The herbs would've long since worn off, and the prince would probably be begging for another dose.
He reached the door to the room where Legolas was staying, and opened it. He walked in happily, humming a bit to himself, then stopped dead at the sight before him. Legolas was sitting in front of a mirror, apparently petrified by what he saw. The elf lord cursed, wondering how a mirror could've possibly gotten into the room. The last thing he needed was another problem, like shock. Legolas didn't even acknowledge him, he simply sat there, staring at his reflection, involuntarily scratching himself.
Now, if Elrond had truly been in the right mind at the moment, he probably would've helped the poor elven prince. But, as everyone already knew, he hadn't been in the right mind for quite a while. So, instead of putting himself through another mental breakdown, Elrond ran from the room like there were wargs biting at his heels.
The next placed he stopped by was the twins room. Of course, that wasn't much better. The two of them were still playing odds and evens and a large pile of all too familiar berries was sitting in between them.
"Odds!"
"Evens!"
"Mwahahahaha, I win!"
"No you don't!"
"Yes! Look! One, two, three! The dice add up to three!"
"But you said evens!"
"No, I said odds!"
"Uh uh."
"Yeah huh."
"Uh uh."
"Uh huh."
Lord Elrond fled from this place too, hoping to find sanity in his youngest son's room. Unfortunately, there was no safe place for the elven lord in this house hold. When he entered Estel's room, a cough and a sneeze answered him. He shot out the door before he could even see the condition of his youngest and ran to Glorfindel's room.
~*~
Glorfindel groaned when a pounding came on his door. His head was letting of shocking amounts of pain, and somebody was just making it worse. Slowly, he dragged himself out of bed, and crawled to the door to unlock it. As soon as the lock was undone however, the door flew open, catching the much abused blonde elf in the face, and sending him backwards. Glorfindel groaned and clutched his broken nose, mumbling under his breath.
Elrond stared down at his friend with a wild look in his eye. Glorfindel was a pitiful sight, but then again, he had seen many pitiful sights in the past day or two. The blonde elf's forehead was swollen and bruised, and he had two large black eyes which gave him a raccoon look. His nose was red, and also swollen. He had broken it the night before but it appeared to look worse. Blood was coming freely from it again, and there was still more blood coming from a spilt lip.
Elrond almost felt bad. Almost.
"GlorfindelI'vecomeheretoinformyouthatIamgoingtoLorienandIdoubtIwillbebackfo rquitesometimesoIwashopingthatyouwouldwatchoverRivendellforme.Willyou?Thanky oumygoodfriendhavefun!"
Glorfindel slowly comprehended exactly what had been said to him, and his eyes widened.
"Wait! ELROND!" But it was far too late. The Lord of Rivendell was already in the stables, and saddling his horse.
Glorfindel moaned, both in pain and out of pity for himself. Sinking down onto the floor, he wished he was a child again so he would have to worry about this mess. Running Rivendell? That would be a pain especially with the twins and Estel and Legolas here.
He didn't know the half of it.

To the best reviewers an author could ever have:
HobbitsRFun- *prances* ^___^ You like it! You really like it! I am so happy. LoL. My mind works in mysterious ways but you wanna know a secret? It's usually not around when these stories are written. In fact, if it was around, I doubt it would be able to last. This insanity comes from that large space between my brain and spinal cord! LoL. Well, hope you enjoyed this chapter just as much as the last few! ^_^ Thank you so much for the review! I love reviews!
xsilicax- *wails* You've left me on a cliffie in Rough Landings AND Sticks and Stones. *laments* My poor, poor Elladan! First you torture him mentally and then you throw him in a river! ^_~ I'm loving every second of it! Mwahahahahaha, but I wish to have another chapter soon, so work hard. Yes, poor Elrond is cracked but we love him anyway. I'm glad your day was brightened by this but *hides her warg* you are not getting my warg back, not in a million years. He's finally sane again almost. Tsk, tsk! Don't drink too much wine. It can lead to consequences. Just look at the twins! Eating the equivalent of wine. Well, I love your name and where it came from ^__^. Mwahahahaha, thanks for the reviews. More of your story soon!
tica- Wish granted! ^_^ Hope you liked this chapter as much as the last few! Thanks so much for your review! Reviews make my world go round!
Lina Skye- ^_^ YOU UPDATED! YAY! ^_^ I'm so happy! I love it when people update! It makes my day! Yes, I suppose the wrath of Mordor would be less painful than Elrond's wrath. As my dear friend Winky put it. "SAURON! YOU SHALL PROTECT ME FROM HIM!" *imagines Glorfindel hiding behind Sauron* *g* Mwahaha, thanks for the review and I expect more story out of you soon! I posted so you can't hold it against me!
shirebound- A very wise person once said "Insanity is Bliss". I believe that person with my whole heart. LoL. So, I'm certifiably insane? And to think, my friends say I am normal, almost. LoL. I suppose standing on the first floor of the school and yelling at your friend on the top floor calling her "a stupid elf" is kinda strange. It's even worse when there are teachers standing there and it looks like your yelling at the air. But hey, it could be worse! Angst is the best drug alive but everyone needs a bit of insanity sometimes. Sanity IS HIGHLY overrated. Life is so boring if you're sane. Sheesh, sane people never have any fun! *hands some calming herbs* Don't worry if you like insanity! It just shows I've converted another person to madness! ^_~ Thanks for the review, nin mellon!
merrylyn- Aye! Poor Legolas! Covered in cream, and looking oddly like a red spotted Dalmatian! *giggles* It's a sight I would LOVE to see! No need to thank me for writing this! Thank you for reviewing it! When people review, it makes me feel loved and I usually am inspired to write another chapter! Thanks for the review! ^_~
Elladan- *looks at the pitchfork and runs away screaming* DON'T HARM ME! I am innocent! WHATEVER YOU THINK I'VE DONE I HAVEN'T DONE IT! Hope you didn't sit and wait at your computer for too long. After all, it's been about a week. *flinches* ^_^ I am glad you liked Elrond's strangeness. Everyone has a slight breach in sanity sometimes! Thanks for all of your reviews and I demand more of your story!
tbiris- Glad you get it now! ^__^ I was afraid that I was being too confusing! ^_^ I'm glad you liked it and my other stories! I aim to please! ^_^ Thanks for your reviews and support.
Mouse- The funniest piece of insanity you've come across? Good! ^_^ I want it to be insane! Mwahahahahaha! Thanks for the compliments! They really do mean a lot to me as do your reviews! Thanks for being such a great reviewer!
Emmithar- ^_^ YOU POSTED! By the way, I love the new story and I love the story with 'Dan and 'Ro. LoL. Insanity? I love the sound of your story! LoL. You and your friend are allowed to be insane, you see, I understand it completely. My friend and I consider ourselves to be Legolas and Aragorn and pass notes to each other in school under such aliases. Cookie? *giggles* That's funny. *turns to Salogel* COOKIE! *watches as Salogel goes all weird* OOOO!! LOL! Gollum? Take over the world! I love the idea! That sounds like a seriously funny little plot bunny. Just don't let it become rabid, okay? I might be distracted. Thanks for all the great ideas. At the moment, I have bits of story written on scraps of paper and scattered about. Hopefully, I'll get organized. Ask Cass and Sio? Okies, I'll do that. I really want info on her for my next story. Well, last chapter, I think the twins and Estel went off to bed. *giggles* And then, we come to the morning and this chapter. Be gentle with Legolas! He still has a contract with me, and he's promised a nice, long, dramatic death scene! Oops, didn't say that! Thanks for the review! Post more soon!
Zelda123- ^_^ As you wish! Hope you liked it! Thanks for the review!
evil spapple pie- Mwahaha, Glor will need more than a psychiatrist by the end of it all. He'll need A LOT of things! Like a little padded room with a nice white jacket. *giggles* The poor guy. Yes, the twins and Estel have gotten off free. For the moment. Well, I suppose Estel hasn't gotten off free yet. He's got Legolas' wrath to deal with! Poor Legolas has gone off too! *giggles* Things just getting more and more nuts. OOO! I hated PJ for that! I cant believe he cut out Glor! That was terrible! WHO CARES ABOUT ARWEN?!!??! I don't! LoL. But hey, what can you do? I love the story behind your name! Ehehehehehe! Well, Pie, I shall remember that for future reference. Spapple? Mwahahaha. Tell your friend she has a way with words. My spell check has a hay day with that! Thanks so much for the review!
Kaeera- *holds head* *wails* *thwaps back again* It's for your own good you know! Studying is so much more important than fanfiction! I know it's an addiction and they say LSD is dangerous! Hah! LoL. Yes, everyone does pull elves and humans out to play special rolls! It's so much fun! I hope your orchestra things went well. Ehehehehehe, I loved chapter three of your story. And I want something evil to happen to Estel. Hypothermia. He and Elrohir, both near the brink of death do to freezing cold, and Elladan and Legolas freaking out because they don't know what to do really. Mwahaha! Okay, I'll leave you alone now! Thanks for the review.
Ciria- *joins in a hula dance and unfortunately falls over do to lack of coordination* Yups ^_^ I updated! Mwahahahahahahahaha! Be proud of me! It's an achievement! Ah, thank you so much for your information on Celebrian. I'm gonna take your word on it and if it isn't right, then I'll blame it all on you. ^_~ Just kidding! But seriously, thanks for the help. Hope you liked the little bit of the twins and Estel. I didn't put a lot of Estel in here this chapter but there will be more of him next chapter. After all, I have to torture Glorfindel with a sick human! I love having you as a reviewer by the way. You're the only one who doesn't threaten me with strange torture devices. You simply give me the time I need! You make me feel guilty. That's the worst weapon of all I do believe! LoL. Thanks so much for your review!
Alilacia- You poor thing. I hate it when I have a lot of assignments to do. I'm ready to kill someone because I become seriously over stimulated. Kind of like Elrond, 'cept I don't have the whole Elrond twitch thing going yet. As for the writers block, *crosses fingers* I think it may be going away. Just maybe. I dunno for sure. I still sorta feel bad about forgetting to review. I've been doing it a lot lately. ItB will be updated in a couple of centuries. Don't worry. Not too long! Thanks for the review! Work hard on Sickness and the next story!
Anita- WHERE IS YOUR CHAPTER ELEVEN?!?! Do I need to come and hunt you down? I don't want to........my wargs have already gotten lost several times hunting. I'm glad the chapter made you smile ^_^. Apparently, everyone enjoyed it. Nervous breakdown? I'd say so. Stress building up over many hundreds of years. He just had to let it out. Mwahahahahahahaha. Post more soon! I wanna know what happens to my Faramir next. My poor baby *hugs him*. Thanks for the great review! ^_^
Aralondwen- *wails* I cannot get a hold of you to save my soul! *sniffles* We are never online at the same time for some reason. *watches the poor cat run away* See what? I didn't see anything. That cat just had a strange fit for no particular reason. *blushes a rather bright red color* With you and everyone else, I am over-complimented daily. It's so great. Thank you for all the nice things, Whit-chan. You know how highly I think of ya and your writing and I am eagerly awaiting the next "Innocent Bedtime Adventure". Believe me, I think of you everyday during my most boring classes (all of them in other words). Ehehehehehehehe, it's the common "Jeez, I wish Whit were here" thoughts. Well, my crazy mellon, thanks for the review. Hopefully I'll catch ya online! ^_~ Thanks, as always, for your support!
estelcontar- I really sorry about the whole lack of ItB. I'm really trying to get out a chapter of it and all, and eventually this writer's block will go away. I hope this does tide ya over until I manage to get another chapter out! Thanks for the review ^_^!
Sue- I think that Elrond oughta take the most stressed out parent of the year award. The poor guy is always taking care of someone. Yes, and of course, do to stress he has a few screws loose. Poor Glor. I really am starting to pity him and I'm the one writing this story. LoL. Just goes to show I'm not COMPLETELY batty. Well, I suppose that could be argued! Thanks for the review! ^__^
Snicks- Aye! Elrond is insane. Mwahahaha, but that's why we love him, right? Thanks for the review and the compliments!
Salysha- *turns a bright red, almost purplish color* Wow! Thank you so much! I really don't think this story is that great but if you say so! It makes me feel really good when someone says that. ^_^ I aim to please, and it's always nice to know that I have! Poor old Glor, he's probably wishing I hadn't included him in the story. Yes, unfortunately, Lord Elrond has finally cracked and the little men in white coats took him away. Time does take a toll, after all, look at Galadriel. And we thought Elrond was cracked. Oh yes, Glor would not be escaping to Mordor. I am not through with him yet! Mwahahahahahahaha! I am not going to be finished with him for a LONG time! *giggles* Thank you so much for your kind words. It's really great for me to hear. Thanks so much for the review! Hope you enjoyed this chapter as well.
marbienl- It was DH that I was reading and let me say that it was a great story! DO YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE! GO READ MARBIENL'S "DIFFICULT HOMECOMING". Take all the time in the world on posting. I can wait forever and ever and ever! Use Vilya on anyone? Elrond! Never! The thought would never cross his mind, now would it.......LoL! Yes, well, he's permanently lost it! Why do you think his hair is so thin in the movie! You liked the mouse saying? I thought I was being a bit vague there! LoL! Glad you understood it! Mwahahahahahahahahaha! I can imagine a lot to as you can well see. I think it's why I write fanfiction. I would go lethally crazy if I didn't get some of these images out. No, Glor isn't going anywhere. He is stuck in Rivendell with a sick elf, a sick human and two VERY drunk twins! And to think, it can only go downhill from there! ^_^ Thank you so much for your review! Post soon! I wanna read your story! Many hugs!
Aragorn Elessar- Thanks! Compliments go a long way. ^_^ Glad you enjoyed the story and thank you for putting it on your favorites! Thanks for the review!
The next chapter is currently without a title! It should be posted soon because I'm on spring break *trumpets blare* YAY!
By tHe InSaNe OnE
AN- AH! So, another chapter is up! Mwahahahahaha! Foolish mortals thinking I would not post! Yet, here I am, and it is posted! LoL!
Thank you so much for your wonderful reviews! *bows down and kisses reviewers feet* You all spoil me, seriously! You're too good for me for my good and your own! Thanks for all your kindness! It really does keep me writing.
Where were Estel and the twins? Um, sleeping I suppose. ^_^ I didn't really ask them about it!
Well, no further ado! Many thanks to those who gave me info on Celebrian! It will help me start writing my next story! Mwahahaha, read and enjoy people. Perhaps, maybe, you could review too?

"ACHOOO!" Legolas sneezed violently, and doubled over. Okay, sneezing. It was a phenomenon that happened very rarely to elves. So, it happened maybe once or twice to him in his whole life. Someone had tickled his nose, or water had trickled in or something. But still, this was the fiftieth time he had sneezed so far. Something was terribly wrong. Putting on his best puppy dog face, he turned to Lord Elrond who was sitting in a chair nearby.
"I feel terrible," he whined in a nasally voice. His nose was clogged up as well. With what, he had no idea, but it was annoying.
Elrond looked at him with relatively no pity at all. The elven lord looked terrible. His hair was messed, his braids frizzled and tangled in what appeared to be a brown rat's nest. Large, dark bags were under his eyes, which contrasted against his paler-than-normal face. His eyes, on top of it all, were incredibly blood shot and glazed. He looked wrinkled, unkempt and very un-Elrondish.
Legolas blinked.
Elrond blinked back, and sighed.
"Yes, you sound terrible too," the frustrated father replied. He rubbed his temples and leaned back in his chair. It was quiet. Too quiet. The twins were up to something and Estel was most likely planning with them. Ah, the horror. He did not need any more stress at the moment.
"What's wrong with me?" Legolas demanded, sniffling. He wanted to know, and he wanted to know now.
"Stop whining and I'll consider telling you," Elrond snapped in reply. He had a headache that conquered any other, and it wasn't caused by his son's for once.
Legolas pursed his lips, giving the elf lord his patented death glare.
Elrond turned his gaze to a nearby window and stared out it. The morning was bright and cheerful. The sky was a pure blue color, not a cloud to be seen. The air smelled fresh and clean, and the grass was the brightest green. The sounds of people talking and laughing rang through the air as well as the singing of birds.
Elrond hated it. He hated every bit of happiness at the moment. He wanted to destroy it all with his ring and then take over the world. Yes, yes, he would make it a dark and gloomy world.
"Lord Elrond?" Legolas was frightened that perhaps the dark haired elf was going into another one of his "insanities". He was not keen on experiencing THAT again.
"You have a cold."
The answer was lost on Legolas. The blonde haired prince of Mirkwood didn't have the slightest clue as to what Elrond was talking about. Well, he did have a clue but the idea of a cold was beyond him. He was an elf. Elves did not get human ailments. Colds were human ailments. Lord Elrond must've really lost it this time.
"Huh?"
"Is that hard to understand?" Elrond asked sarcastically, focusing back on the prince. "Let me put it in easier terms. You are sick. Not from poison, but from whatever makes Estel sick. Your elven immunities have been lowered to the point that you have caught a common cold. Do we comprehend?"
Legolas nodded mutely. This wasn't happening. Not to him. Not illness. He was an elf. He wasn't sick. This wasn't fair! Damn that stupid human! When he was through with Estel...........
"Good. There is very little I can do other than let the disease run its course. I'll give you a few herbs to clear your nose and I will give you another herb to help the itching." Elrond stood up and staggered to the table top where his herbs were resting.
Legolas stared after him in a mild form of shock. It was only mild because, as of late, nothing surprised him anymore. No, ever since he had met Estel, flying wargs and purple orcs were the only things that could really scare him. Okay, so getting sick scared him too, but it didn't really surprise him.
Unconsciously, he started scratching his arm. He had been doing it all night in his sleep. Red, shiny patches covered his skin, giving him the strangest look. He had yet to look at himself in a mirror, which was a blessing within itself, for he still thought that it wasn't THAT bad. Oh, if only the poor, delusional little elf knew.......
Elrond approached him once more, and the elven lord flinched inwardly at the sight before him. Legolas was a complete and total mess. That was okay though, as long as he didn't leave the room, he would never know and no one would tell him. Elrond wasn't sure if he could take anymore screaming in his home, and the yell that Legolas would let out when he saw himself would be an ear shattering one.
"Drink this, and this," Rivendell's Lord commanded, handing Legolas two separate cups. "One is to help with the itching, the other is to clear your nose up and stop the sneezing. After you're finished, I want you to stay here and rest. I have to go check on the twins, Estel and Glorfindel and make sure they are all in one piece."
Legolas stared at him for a few seconds. The elven prince did not want to stay in bed. No, he wanted to get out of this room and do something. Anything to get his mind off the dreadful itching and the mortal cold. That and he had to plan his revenge on Aragorn. At that moment, the briefest flicker of an idea came to mind, and he grinned evilly on the inside.
"Why don't you just rest Lord Elrond," the young elf offered. "I'll go check on them. Don't you worry."
Elrond raised an eyebrow, not liking the tone Legolas was using. Something about it irked him. The gleam that was in the blonde's eyes was rather frightening, leaving the elf lord wondering if he had put too many painkilling herbs in the medicines.
"Nay, Legolas," Elrond sighed, "you need to rest more than I do. The best way to cure a cold is to rest. I thank you for your generous offer."
"No, really, Elrond!" Legolas responded, nearly desperate. "Please, I promise to be good."
A small bark of laughter escaped the other. "What?"
"I promise to be good if you let me go."
Elrond felt like he was talking to a small elfling, not a grown elf who was nearly three thousand. "Really now? You promise to stay out of trouble?"
"Yes!"
Elrond ran a hand through his tangled hair. "Well, I suppose you can go." A war whoop sounded from Legolas. "Under the condition that you avoid Estel. The last thing I need is for him to catch your cold. Just check on the twins and Glor for me and make sure that everyone is alright. Do you understand?"
Legolas nodded mutely.
"Good, now drink your medicine and you can go. If you need me I'll be in my study." His lips twitching with the vaguest amount of amusement, Elrond gracefully exited. Legolas downed the two cups of bitter droughts quickly, and then hopped out of bed. Three sneezes escaped him when he stood, and he waited for a few seconds to see if there would be anymore. When none came, he quickly slunk out of the room, in search of his prey.
First the twins.
Then Glor.
And last, but not least, he would release his revenge on Estel.
"IT'S MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!" The shout sounded from a nearby room, and the voice was that of Elrohir. Legolas crept into the room, cracking the door slightly, peering in cautiously. The twins were sitting on the floor, with the shades in the room pulled. A bag was sitting in between them, and Legolas could make out small berries running from the mouth of it. A set of dice was also lying there beside the bag, and Elrohir was pointing finger at his twin's face.
"IT IS MINE!" the younger twin exclaimed, pointing to a lone berry on the floor.
"Is not!" Elladan shot back. "You are a cheater! I bet the dice are loaded!"
"I don't cheat!"
"Yes you do!"
"It's mine anyway! I call it!" Elrohir quickly grabbed the berry and prepared to pop it into his mouth. Elladan stopped him though, pouncing on his twin before the berry left his hand. Elrohir struggled, trying to get away, but Elladan had him pinned.
"It's mine now!" Elladan cried, stealing the blue mushy blob from his look alike and popping it into his mouth. Elrohir scowled and squirmed underneath him
Legolas blinked and cleared his throat.
Both twins turned to him, and for the first time he saw that their faces were rather red tinged.
"Why, hello fair Prince of Mirkwood!" Elladan exclaimed.
"How are you on this fair day?" Elrohir asked, looking him over. "Other than, slightly spotted."
Legolas grimaced, and scratched his one arm. "I'm fine, your father sent me to check up on you."
"Father?"
"I think he's talking about that man who thinks he's our Ada but isn't, 'Dan."
"Oh, him."
"Yes, him."
"Well, we're fine."
"Yup, perfectly fine."
"So, would you like to play with us in a game of odds and evens?" Elladan asked, picking up the dice, smiling happily.
"Ummmm," Legolas said uncertainly, looking at the berries. "Exactly what are you playing for?"
"Promise not to tell that man who isn't our Ada?" Elrohir whispered, looking around suspiciously.
"Yes....." Legolas answered.
"Well, you see, last night after we got you out of that bush-"
"-we went right to bed. When-"
"-we woke up this morning, we had terrible headaches and felt slightly-"
"-ill but then we remembered-"
"-the cure all-"
"-yes, the panacea-"
"-so, to make it a bit more fun, we decided to play odds and evens-"
"-to see who would get more of the cure all."
"So, dear prince," Elladan finished, "would you like to play? You seem to be in need of a few berries."
"Exactly, what kind of berries are these?" Legolas asked, coming into the room a bit more, looking at the bright blue balls.
"Promise not to tell that man who thinks he's our Ada only because he's drunk but he's not really our Ada?" Elrohir questioned.
"I promise," Legolas answered, not really sure if Elrond would want to know.
"Well, they are the great-"
"-all-powerful-"
"-MENFIL BERRIES!" The twins finished together, grinning broadly. Legolas suddenly wished he was at home in Mirkwood. When Elrond found out about this............
"So, want some?" Elrohir asked, patting the ground next to him.
"Uh, that's okay, I still have to go check on Glor."
"Awww, you sure?" Elladan whined.
"Yes, I am."
"Oh well, your loss."
"Yup." Elladan put the dice into a cup, rolled them around and slapped the cup over onto the ground.
"Evens!" Elrohir bellowed. Elladan lifted the cup to reveal snake eyes.
"You cheat!"
"I do not!"
"The dice are loaded!"
"Come on! Just because I've won EVERY time doesn't mean they're loaded."
"Well, considering that they have been snake eyes every time-"
"Oh, stop being a sore loser, and let me have my berry!"
"NO!"
"Don't make me fight you!"
"Like you could defeat me!"
At this point, Legolas left the room but he could hear the two of them wrestling as he padded down the hall. Forget checking on Glor. After all, Glor was an old elf-lord. He would be fine. A little crack on the head never hurt anyone that badly. Slinking past the room he knew was Glorfindel's, he headed towards Estel's. Now, time to exact his revenge.
There had been numerous occasions in the prince's life where Estel had fallen ill. Each time, Legolas remembered how much the young man had hated it, and how "terrible" it had been. Of course, he had the perfect revenge. Estel had tortured him by making him fall into the thorn bush and now he was going to torture Estel. He only hoped that whatever had made him sick would actually pass on to the human.
Opening Estel's door, he strode in, noting that the curtains were stilled closed in the man's room.
"Estel?"
There was a moan from the bed, and Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir to Gondor, sat up. Sleep was still in his eyes, and he blinked at Legolas with very little comprehension.
"How are you feeling today, my friend?" Legolas asked, trying to sound like he really cared.
"Mmmphhh." Aragorn flopped backwards, and pulled a blanket over his head.
Legolas grinned evilly, "Is that so? Well, that is always good." He sat down on the edge of the bed, and sneezed. Aragorn peeked out from underneath the blanket, confusion in his eyes.
"D'you jus' 'neeze?"
"Pardon?"
"D'you jus' sneeze?"
"Why yes, I did. Must have been some dust in the air." Legolas grinned, and sneezed again.
"You jus' 'neezed again." Aragorn was lost and confused, not quite understanding why Legolas was in his room and why he was sneezing. He just wanted to rest...........
"Yes." Legolas decided he had done all he could really do and now, he would have to come back later to see if it worked. Standing up, he bid his friend farewell. "Well, its good to hear you're feeling okay, nin mellon. See you when you get up!"
The elf exited the room, it good spirits and decided to go check up on Glorfindel. However, the plan was stopped in its tracks when the unfortunate blonde elf passed a mirror. His eyes grew, and he stared at himself for a few seconds.
The shriek that ran through the house sounded like that of a wraith. But, no one paid it any mind. After all, it was Rivendell. Strange noises emanating from miscellaneous places was nothing new.
~*~
Lord Elrond left his office that night feeling refreshed and relaxed. He had changed his clothes, his hair was brushed, and he was smiling. He had yet to hear from any of his sons, or his fellow elf lords, or his sons' friends. No servants had come to bring news of destruction or injury to him. Everything was so nice and calm and peaceful. It was almost too good to be true. A small laugh escaped his lips as he treaded towards Legolas' room. The herbs would've long since worn off, and the prince would probably be begging for another dose.
He reached the door to the room where Legolas was staying, and opened it. He walked in happily, humming a bit to himself, then stopped dead at the sight before him. Legolas was sitting in front of a mirror, apparently petrified by what he saw. The elf lord cursed, wondering how a mirror could've possibly gotten into the room. The last thing he needed was another problem, like shock. Legolas didn't even acknowledge him, he simply sat there, staring at his reflection, involuntarily scratching himself.
Now, if Elrond had truly been in the right mind at the moment, he probably would've helped the poor elven prince. But, as everyone already knew, he hadn't been in the right mind for quite a while. So, instead of putting himself through another mental breakdown, Elrond ran from the room like there were wargs biting at his heels.
The next placed he stopped by was the twins room. Of course, that wasn't much better. The two of them were still playing odds and evens and a large pile of all too familiar berries was sitting in between them.
"Odds!"
"Evens!"
"Mwahahahaha, I win!"
"No you don't!"
"Yes! Look! One, two, three! The dice add up to three!"
"But you said evens!"
"No, I said odds!"
"Uh uh."
"Yeah huh."
"Uh uh."
"Uh huh."
Lord Elrond fled from this place too, hoping to find sanity in his youngest son's room. Unfortunately, there was no safe place for the elven lord in this house hold. When he entered Estel's room, a cough and a sneeze answered him. He shot out the door before he could even see the condition of his youngest and ran to Glorfindel's room.
~*~
Glorfindel groaned when a pounding came on his door. His head was letting of shocking amounts of pain, and somebody was just making it worse. Slowly, he dragged himself out of bed, and crawled to the door to unlock it. As soon as the lock was undone however, the door flew open, catching the much abused blonde elf in the face, and sending him backwards. Glorfindel groaned and clutched his broken nose, mumbling under his breath.
Elrond stared down at his friend with a wild look in his eye. Glorfindel was a pitiful sight, but then again, he had seen many pitiful sights in the past day or two. The blonde elf's forehead was swollen and bruised, and he had two large black eyes which gave him a raccoon look. His nose was red, and also swollen. He had broken it the night before but it appeared to look worse. Blood was coming freely from it again, and there was still more blood coming from a spilt lip.
Elrond almost felt bad. Almost.
"GlorfindelI'vecomeheretoinformyouthatIamgoingtoLorienandIdoubtIwillbebackfo rquitesometimesoIwashopingthatyouwouldwatchoverRivendellforme.Willyou?Thanky oumygoodfriendhavefun!"
Glorfindel slowly comprehended exactly what had been said to him, and his eyes widened.
"Wait! ELROND!" But it was far too late. The Lord of Rivendell was already in the stables, and saddling his horse.
Glorfindel moaned, both in pain and out of pity for himself. Sinking down onto the floor, he wished he was a child again so he would have to worry about this mess. Running Rivendell? That would be a pain especially with the twins and Estel and Legolas here.
He didn't know the half of it.

To the best reviewers an author could ever have:
HobbitsRFun- *prances* ^___^ You like it! You really like it! I am so happy. LoL. My mind works in mysterious ways but you wanna know a secret? It's usually not around when these stories are written. In fact, if it was around, I doubt it would be able to last. This insanity comes from that large space between my brain and spinal cord! LoL. Well, hope you enjoyed this chapter just as much as the last few! ^_^ Thank you so much for the review! I love reviews!
xsilicax- *wails* You've left me on a cliffie in Rough Landings AND Sticks and Stones. *laments* My poor, poor Elladan! First you torture him mentally and then you throw him in a river! ^_~ I'm loving every second of it! Mwahahahahaha, but I wish to have another chapter soon, so work hard. Yes, poor Elrond is cracked but we love him anyway. I'm glad your day was brightened by this but *hides her warg* you are not getting my warg back, not in a million years. He's finally sane again almost. Tsk, tsk! Don't drink too much wine. It can lead to consequences. Just look at the twins! Eating the equivalent of wine. Well, I love your name and where it came from ^__^. Mwahahahaha, thanks for the reviews. More of your story soon!
tica- Wish granted! ^_^ Hope you liked this chapter as much as the last few! Thanks so much for your review! Reviews make my world go round!
Lina Skye- ^_^ YOU UPDATED! YAY! ^_^ I'm so happy! I love it when people update! It makes my day! Yes, I suppose the wrath of Mordor would be less painful than Elrond's wrath. As my dear friend Winky put it. "SAURON! YOU SHALL PROTECT ME FROM HIM!" *imagines Glorfindel hiding behind Sauron* *g* Mwahaha, thanks for the review and I expect more story out of you soon! I posted so you can't hold it against me!
shirebound- A very wise person once said "Insanity is Bliss". I believe that person with my whole heart. LoL. So, I'm certifiably insane? And to think, my friends say I am normal, almost. LoL. I suppose standing on the first floor of the school and yelling at your friend on the top floor calling her "a stupid elf" is kinda strange. It's even worse when there are teachers standing there and it looks like your yelling at the air. But hey, it could be worse! Angst is the best drug alive but everyone needs a bit of insanity sometimes. Sanity IS HIGHLY overrated. Life is so boring if you're sane. Sheesh, sane people never have any fun! *hands some calming herbs* Don't worry if you like insanity! It just shows I've converted another person to madness! ^_~ Thanks for the review, nin mellon!
merrylyn- Aye! Poor Legolas! Covered in cream, and looking oddly like a red spotted Dalmatian! *giggles* It's a sight I would LOVE to see! No need to thank me for writing this! Thank you for reviewing it! When people review, it makes me feel loved and I usually am inspired to write another chapter! Thanks for the review! ^_~
Elladan- *looks at the pitchfork and runs away screaming* DON'T HARM ME! I am innocent! WHATEVER YOU THINK I'VE DONE I HAVEN'T DONE IT! Hope you didn't sit and wait at your computer for too long. After all, it's been about a week. *flinches* ^_^ I am glad you liked Elrond's strangeness. Everyone has a slight breach in sanity sometimes! Thanks for all of your reviews and I demand more of your story!
tbiris- Glad you get it now! ^__^ I was afraid that I was being too confusing! ^_^ I'm glad you liked it and my other stories! I aim to please! ^_^ Thanks for your reviews and support.
Mouse- The funniest piece of insanity you've come across? Good! ^_^ I want it to be insane! Mwahahahahaha! Thanks for the compliments! They really do mean a lot to me as do your reviews! Thanks for being such a great reviewer!
Emmithar- ^_^ YOU POSTED! By the way, I love the new story and I love the story with 'Dan and 'Ro. LoL. Insanity? I love the sound of your story! LoL. You and your friend are allowed to be insane, you see, I understand it completely. My friend and I consider ourselves to be Legolas and Aragorn and pass notes to each other in school under such aliases. Cookie? *giggles* That's funny. *turns to Salogel* COOKIE! *watches as Salogel goes all weird* OOOO!! LOL! Gollum? Take over the world! I love the idea! That sounds like a seriously funny little plot bunny. Just don't let it become rabid, okay? I might be distracted. Thanks for all the great ideas. At the moment, I have bits of story written on scraps of paper and scattered about. Hopefully, I'll get organized. Ask Cass and Sio? Okies, I'll do that. I really want info on her for my next story. Well, last chapter, I think the twins and Estel went off to bed. *giggles* And then, we come to the morning and this chapter. Be gentle with Legolas! He still has a contract with me, and he's promised a nice, long, dramatic death scene! Oops, didn't say that! Thanks for the review! Post more soon!
Zelda123- ^_^ As you wish! Hope you liked it! Thanks for the review!
evil spapple pie- Mwahaha, Glor will need more than a psychiatrist by the end of it all. He'll need A LOT of things! Like a little padded room with a nice white jacket. *giggles* The poor guy. Yes, the twins and Estel have gotten off free. For the moment. Well, I suppose Estel hasn't gotten off free yet. He's got Legolas' wrath to deal with! Poor Legolas has gone off too! *giggles* Things just getting more and more nuts. OOO! I hated PJ for that! I cant believe he cut out Glor! That was terrible! WHO CARES ABOUT ARWEN?!!??! I don't! LoL. But hey, what can you do? I love the story behind your name! Ehehehehehe! Well, Pie, I shall remember that for future reference. Spapple? Mwahahaha. Tell your friend she has a way with words. My spell check has a hay day with that! Thanks so much for the review!
Kaeera- *holds head* *wails* *thwaps back again* It's for your own good you know! Studying is so much more important than fanfiction! I know it's an addiction and they say LSD is dangerous! Hah! LoL. Yes, everyone does pull elves and humans out to play special rolls! It's so much fun! I hope your orchestra things went well. Ehehehehehe, I loved chapter three of your story. And I want something evil to happen to Estel. Hypothermia. He and Elrohir, both near the brink of death do to freezing cold, and Elladan and Legolas freaking out because they don't know what to do really. Mwahaha! Okay, I'll leave you alone now! Thanks for the review.
Ciria- *joins in a hula dance and unfortunately falls over do to lack of coordination* Yups ^_^ I updated! Mwahahahahahahahaha! Be proud of me! It's an achievement! Ah, thank you so much for your information on Celebrian. I'm gonna take your word on it and if it isn't right, then I'll blame it all on you. ^_~ Just kidding! But seriously, thanks for the help. Hope you liked the little bit of the twins and Estel. I didn't put a lot of Estel in here this chapter but there will be more of him next chapter. After all, I have to torture Glorfindel with a sick human! I love having you as a reviewer by the way. You're the only one who doesn't threaten me with strange torture devices. You simply give me the time I need! You make me feel guilty. That's the worst weapon of all I do believe! LoL. Thanks so much for your review!
Alilacia- You poor thing. I hate it when I have a lot of assignments to do. I'm ready to kill someone because I become seriously over stimulated. Kind of like Elrond, 'cept I don't have the whole Elrond twitch thing going yet. As for the writers block, *crosses fingers* I think it may be going away. Just maybe. I dunno for sure. I still sorta feel bad about forgetting to review. I've been doing it a lot lately. ItB will be updated in a couple of centuries. Don't worry. Not too long! Thanks for the review! Work hard on Sickness and the next story!
Anita- WHERE IS YOUR CHAPTER ELEVEN?!?! Do I need to come and hunt you down? I don't want to........my wargs have already gotten lost several times hunting. I'm glad the chapter made you smile ^_^. Apparently, everyone enjoyed it. Nervous breakdown? I'd say so. Stress building up over many hundreds of years. He just had to let it out. Mwahahahahahahaha. Post more soon! I wanna know what happens to my Faramir next. My poor baby *hugs him*. Thanks for the great review! ^_^
Aralondwen- *wails* I cannot get a hold of you to save my soul! *sniffles* We are never online at the same time for some reason. *watches the poor cat run away* See what? I didn't see anything. That cat just had a strange fit for no particular reason. *blushes a rather bright red color* With you and everyone else, I am over-complimented daily. It's so great. Thank you for all the nice things, Whit-chan. You know how highly I think of ya and your writing and I am eagerly awaiting the next "Innocent Bedtime Adventure". Believe me, I think of you everyday during my most boring classes (all of them in other words). Ehehehehehehehe, it's the common "Jeez, I wish Whit were here" thoughts. Well, my crazy mellon, thanks for the review. Hopefully I'll catch ya online! ^_~ Thanks, as always, for your support!
estelcontar- I really sorry about the whole lack of ItB. I'm really trying to get out a chapter of it and all, and eventually this writer's block will go away. I hope this does tide ya over until I manage to get another chapter out! Thanks for the review ^_^!
Sue- I think that Elrond oughta take the most stressed out parent of the year award. The poor guy is always taking care of someone. Yes, and of course, do to stress he has a few screws loose. Poor Glor. I really am starting to pity him and I'm the one writing this story. LoL. Just goes to show I'm not COMPLETELY batty. Well, I suppose that could be argued! Thanks for the review! ^__^
Snicks- Aye! Elrond is insane. Mwahahaha, but that's why we love him, right? Thanks for the review and the compliments!
Salysha- *turns a bright red, almost purplish color* Wow! Thank you so much! I really don't think this story is that great but if you say so! It makes me feel really good when someone says that. ^_^ I aim to please, and it's always nice to know that I have! Poor old Glor, he's probably wishing I hadn't included him in the story. Yes, unfortunately, Lord Elrond has finally cracked and the little men in white coats took him away. Time does take a toll, after all, look at Galadriel. And we thought Elrond was cracked. Oh yes, Glor would not be escaping to Mordor. I am not through with him yet! Mwahahahahahahaha! I am not going to be finished with him for a LONG time! *giggles* Thank you so much for your kind words. It's really great for me to hear. Thanks so much for the review! Hope you enjoyed this chapter as well.
marbienl- It was DH that I was reading and let me say that it was a great story! DO YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE! GO READ MARBIENL'S "DIFFICULT HOMECOMING". Take all the time in the world on posting. I can wait forever and ever and ever! Use Vilya on anyone? Elrond! Never! The thought would never cross his mind, now would it.......LoL! Yes, well, he's permanently lost it! Why do you think his hair is so thin in the movie! You liked the mouse saying? I thought I was being a bit vague there! LoL! Glad you understood it! Mwahahahahahahahahaha! I can imagine a lot to as you can well see. I think it's why I write fanfiction. I would go lethally crazy if I didn't get some of these images out. No, Glor isn't going anywhere. He is stuck in Rivendell with a sick elf, a sick human and two VERY drunk twins! And to think, it can only go downhill from there! ^_^ Thank you so much for your review! Post soon! I wanna read your story! Many hugs!
Aragorn Elessar- Thanks! Compliments go a long way. ^_^ Glad you enjoyed the story and thank you for putting it on your favorites! Thanks for the review!
The next chapter is currently without a title! It should be posted soon because I'm on spring break *trumpets blare* YAY!
