Some time passed before all the guests arrived, old friends greeted one another, and new people watched awkwardly from a distance.

Finally once night fell the fun began. There was music, food, dancing, someone decided to bring a pig with them (don't ask no one knowd who brought it or why it was there) and Elrond made Lindir chase it out.

Three elleths were watching everyone in silence. One of them got a mischievous idea but figured that her two companions wouldn't be as enthusiatic about it as she was.

Quietly she left their company and made her way outside. Once she was alone and the only sounds to be heard were frustrated shouts from Lindir and squeals from the pig he was trying to get rid of.

She chuckled to herself as she watched from a distance.

"Pretty good huh? Setting a pig loose in Rivendell."
The elleth rolled her eyes and turned around with her arms crossed.

"It's funny Phoenix, but come on! You can do better than that!"
"Give me a break Piper! I just got here I can't just pull pranks out of my pockets."

Piper huffed and turned towards the direction of the house. She widened her eyes as a chair was suddenly thrown out of a window.

Followed by a punch bowl, one of the loudspeakers, and Pippin.
Piper and Phoenix winced as the hobbit hit the ground but then sighed in relief as he immediately got back up and started shouting something at the people in the window.

"Piper listen, this is the first time in a long time that we have a large quantity of people in one place, so we need to pull off something that'll blow the whole firework thing out of the water!"*

"Hmm... You are right my friend. Thankfully I have something planned."
Phoenix rubbed his hands together eagerly.
"Ooh! What is it?"

"We're going to need Caladhiel's help, that is if she's up for the job."
"Of course I am! Is that even a question?"

Both elves smiled as Caladhiel joined their group.
"Awesome! The Three Red Heads are back together again!"
Phoenix announced pumping his fist in the air.

"SHH!"
Caladhiel looked around frantically while Piper stared at her curiously.
"What's eating you Caladhiel?"
"There was this one elf inside who apparently has heard about our pranks before and is keeping an eye out for anything suspicious from the three of us."

"Ah."
Phoenix said nodding his head slowly.
"It seems as though we have a chanllenge on our hands."

Piper placed her hand under her chin and processed this new information.

"Alright guys, Operation Don't Get Caught But Still Pull Off An Amazing Prank" is a officially a go."

Phoenix and Caladhiel nodded.
"Alright, wait- are going with Operation Don't Get Caught But Still Pull Off An Amazing Prank Plan A or Plan B?"

"Oh good question Phoenix. We'll go with Plan A."
Piper replied.
"Hang on, are we doing Operation Don't Get Caught But Still Pull Off An Amazing Prank Plan A Code 0 or Code 0.4635?"
Caladhiel asked.

"Code 0.4635."
Piper replied.
"So let me make sure I'm getting this,"
Phoenix said.
"We're doing Operation Don't Get Caught But Still Pull Off An Amazing Prank Plan A Code 0.4635?"

Piper nodded.
"Affirmative."
"Good. Got it."

Caladhiel smiled proudly.
"And this is why it's impossible for anyone to ever figure ouy what we're planning."

Ithilwen was watching the events of the party go on in silence. Things had gotten pretty wild after someone broke out Twister® and at the moment she was content to just stand and watch as the others played it.

"Right hand yellow!"
Gimli announced since he was the one spinning.
"Already on it!"
Frodo shouted.
"Oh alright."

Gimli spun again.
"Right hand yellow!"
"Already on it!"
Aragorn shouted. Everyone playing by now was getting pretty tired of holding their positions.

"It'll be different this time I prom- oops! Right hand yellow."
"GIMLI!"
Aragorn, Frodo, Losider, and Merry shouted.
Gimli snickered, clearly enjoying himself as he spun again.

"He'd better say something different."
Merry grumbled.
"Left foot-"
Everyone playing sighed in relief.
"Yellow."

"IT'S ALREADY THERE!!!!"
Unfortunately for the four players their yelling caused them all to lose their balance and crash onto the ground.

Laughter ensued from the crowd while Frodo yelled for everyone to get off of him.

Ithilwen was laughing too but not very loud. She was a shy elf by nature and after Caladhiel and Piper had left she hadn't bothered to talk to anyone else.

She noticed Suidan, one of Elrond' most trusted guards, walk past and she called a greeting.

"Hey Suidan! Do you have a moment to talk?"
The black-haired elf stopped and shook his head.
"Sorry Ithilwen, I have a feeling that some troublemakers are about to pull of one of their pranks and I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen."

Ithilwen sighed as Suidan hurried out of the room. She wished she had someone to talk to, but she was too shy to go seek anyone out.

"Some party huh?"
Ithilwen jumped as Esmerelda suddenly appeared from behind her.
"Why did you do that?!"
"Do what?"
"Sneak up on me!"

Es shrugged and tossed a cookie into her mouth.
"I'm a hobbit, sneaking is just something we do."
Ithilwen sighed and turned her attention back towards the party.

The former Twister® players were busy accusing Gimli of making them lose on purpose while several others had moved on to other things.

"Whatcha doing standing over here all by your lonesome?"
Es asked taking a sip of her punch through a very long twisty straw.

"I'm not very comfortable in large crowds."
Ithilwen admitted not looking at the hobbit.
"Then why on Middle Earth are you at a party?"

Ithilwen shrugged.
"Everyone else was here so I decided that I might as well go too."

Es blinked and then noticed that Ithilwen seemed to be focusing on a particular thing.

"What are you staring at?"
She asked nonchalantly.
"Nothing."
Ithilwen replied sharply.

Es followed her gaze and started snickering.
Ithilwen glared at her.
"What's so funny?"
"You've got the look my elven companion."

Ithilwen looked at her in confusion.
"The look? What's that?"
"It's the, I just layed eyes on Legolas Thranduilion Prince of Mirkwood and of extreme Elf Hotness and I think that I'm in love look."

Ithilwen gaped at her in shock.
"What are you- no I'm- I didn't-"
"This particular look is immediately followed by the Quickly try and stutter and make up an exscuse while my face turns red look."

Ithilwen bristled and looked away from the annoying hobbit, and immediately her gaze landed on Legolas.

"This next look is followed by the Turns back to Leggy while inwardly or outwardly sighing look."
"Don't you have anything better to do then bother me?"
Ithilwen snapped.

"Well, I could always introduce the two of you. I happen to know him personally and he were also on the same bowling team for a awhile."

"I don't need you to introduce
us."
Ithilwen grumbled.
Es shrugged.
"Suit yourself. Although I should warn you that unless you step up you're not going to have a chance."

This caught Ithilwen's attention.
"What do you mean?"
"You're not the only one crushing on Leggy Boy."
Es was about to take a bite out of a cupcake and paused.
"It's not me of that's what you're thinking."

"I wasn't thinking that at all."
Ithilwen said stepping awkwardly away from the hobbit.
"Seriously who else is "crushing" on him?"

"It's not really my place to say."
Es said inspecting her cupcake.
"Although I will say that certain people enjoy making things, especially love, the opposite of easy and happy ending. They may also want to try their hand at a love triangle."

Es walked off with her cupcake and then stopped and narrowed her eyes at Ithilwen.

"You know, if you weren't an elf we could be sisters."**
"Why do you say that?"
"Eh, we just look alike. Alright I'm out."

Esmerelda left for real that time and had yet to enjoy her cupcake.
Ithilwen tried to make since of what she just said but instead decided on believing that she was crazy.

She probably just said that to freak me out. Or anyone else who overheard that.

Ithilwen turned back and nearly kicked herself when she realized that she was still looking at Legolas.

Only this time he was looking back at her.
Not knowing why Ithilwen waved, but at that moment Aragorn had asked Legolas something and he turned away.

So Ithilwen's wave went unnoticed by Legolas. But Pippin (who was climbing back in through the window he had been thrown out of) saw her wave and decided to wave back.

Which resulted in him releasing his grip on the window and plummeting back to the ground.
Ithilwen winced as she heard a faint *THUMP* as the hobbit once again made contact with the earth.

Ithilwen decided that it would probably be best of she found something else to do until the party ended.

*In the first book Piper succesfully managed to blow up the Shire twice. The first time alone and the second time with Phoenix's help.

**In real life Ithilwen (aka _the_bizz_) is my sister.

So there was that!
Sorry for not updating when I said I would but here's your chapter!

I also wanted to let everyone know that I won't be as active on Wattpad for the next few days.

I'm still going to update as regularly as I can but I won't be really reading, or commenting, or just being on Wattpad in general.

So if I don't respond to something it's not cause I'm trying to be rude I just need to take a breal from being on here constantly and focus on other things.

So anywho, thank you all for reading and I sould maybe have another chapter of this out eventually.

Alright I'm out.
