It was afternoon in the fair land of Imladris. Lord Elrond's library was crowded with scattered paper, books and other miscellaneous writing utensils. Seated in a bunch, the women were fiercely editing their answer to the Humorous Challenge issued by their group mom. The elves sat at a near by table, drinking and poking fun at the ladies inability to make heads or tails of certain sections.

"Oh by the Sweet Valinor!! If I ever get such an idea as this again please slap me!" cries a very distraught Emmi. "I had never imagined in a million ages that editing this story would be so very difficult."

"NO, No Emmi! It really has been to so much fun! Look at all the friends we have made!" Idhrenwen rushes to assure her.

"Yes! How else would we have gotten to see Haldir do his strip tease?" Zhie mischievously asked, glancing over to where the elf in question sat frowning at her.

Just then, Kristin rushed into the room carrying a stack of papers. "Just look at this!" she wailed, "We have forgotten to put my parts of Chapter 3 even in!"

Hearing a snicker from the elf corner, she turned and glared hotly in the direction of a certain Mirkwood Prince. "You just hush or I will make sure you don't get your clothing back for a good long while!" she declared hotly.

Turning back to the girls, she marched over and tossed her writings down on the table. Looking each of them in the eye, she glanced around the table.

"These writings have to go in this chapter. If they do not then I have to rewrite my entire story. The timeline is a very big problem for me." She stated calmly.

Looking over at her, Emmi grimaced. "Looks like we all had our own idea of what sort of time we where looking at. When I envisioned it, it was 2 weeks. Idrenwen saw a month and Corri had one day in mind, I think! Next time, to save a lot of hassle, we need to have a set period to cover. IN STONE!"

The other girls nodded their heads and went about editing the parts they were working on. Kristin gave an exasperated sigh. "Hello? Does anyone recognize that I am here?" she asked, "What about MY PARTS??"

Zhie looked up just in time to see Legolas mimicking the unlucky lady and all the others laughing about it. "Ummm.. Before we deal with that… You might want to deal with your elf!" she whispered softly.

Whirling quickly, Kristin snatched up a book and nailed him in the stomach with it. As he groaned and collapsed, she grinned and stated, "Serves you right, you arrogant elf!" Turning back to the group, she noticed Emmi glancing at between the serving pitchers on the elves table to each elf individually.

"Emmi, what is wrong?" she asked quietly. Startled, Emmi's glance flew up to meet the girl's.

"Wrong?? Uh, nothing is wrong, so to speak." She lamely replied. "At least, not so we would notice."

With puzzled expressions, the ladies glanced at each other. Sighing, Emmi leaned forward and confided in low tones, "You see that pitcher they are drinking out of?? Well, that one was meant for us actually. The elves decided that they wanted to get us drunk and spiked the wine with ever clear. Seeing this, I switched the pitchers when they weren't looking."

Eyes widened around the table as each stared at Emmi. Fleeting emotions could be seen chasing across each face. Disbelief, anger and finally amusement.

"They did what?" Corri asked "They thought to get us drunk?"

Emmi nodded, "It seems Haldir was a little frantic about the girls holding the stripe tease over his head and Legolas is still a little sore over the you-know-what episode. Erestor, Glorfindil, and Rumil snuck to alcohol past Lord Elrond and the twins just thought it would be great fun! The only ones not involved, that I can tell, at this point are Orophin, Lord Elrond, Celeborn, and Dorindil."

Suddenly, the hall doors burst open and Dorindil strolled into the room. Spotting the pitcher on the table, he helped himself and took a big goblet full

. "By the Sweet Valinor! This wine tastes a bit funny. Different stock, maybe?" he asked. The ladies grimanced and watched in horror as he downed his goblet and had another. Zu prodded Emmi, "Do you think we should warn him?"

Shaking her head, Emmi answered, "I don't want to be the one that tells that elf that he was accidentally the brunt of a bad prank! How much have the others had?"

Looking at Zhie, Emmi made out three fingers being held up. "They have each had three cups?" she asked. At her friends nod, Emmi sat back. "Well then, there is nothing we can do but watch the results!"

Across the table, Corri put her head in her hands. "You all really don't remember do you?" she cried.

"Remember what?" Forest asked in puzzlement.

"Have any of you seen Dorindil actually drunk??" Corri asked, seeing the knowledge dawning in Emmi's eyes. "We need to get out of here with the speed of ShadowFax at his most swift!"

"I think it's a little too late!" came Forest's cry. As one, the girls turned to stare at the Underguard of Rivendell. Being the serious elf he was, one did not often see the lights that now danced in his eyes as he regarded the ladies. To make matters worse, it seemed the others where now feeling the effects also. As a group they stood and started to the table where the ladies sat.

Feeling slightly like hunted animals, the females moved swiftly out of their chairs to stand together. "Any ideas?" Kristin whispered.

Zhie thought for a moment. "Music!! Music calms a savage beast, right? Surely music will be our saving grace!"

Remembering the boom box that Rumil had brought her, Emmi made a grab under the table and came up with the CD Player. "HERE!! I have this!" she cried. Pushing play, the sounds of Bryan Adams floated through to air. As one, the elves stopped their stalking and began to move to the beat. Seeing this the girls grinned and many went to join them in the dance.

"Oh, thank the sweet Valinor!" Forest exclaimed "I thought we were in big trouble for a moment there!"

Idrenwen chuckled from where she was dancing with both twins. "No problem as long as we have music."

Suddenly, a great shout ripped the air. All turned to watch as Dorindil climbed up on the divider bar. Doing a darn good Elvis impersonation, he began to grind his hips and serenade the ladies in the audience. Seeking out each lady`s eye, he makes as if singing it just for them. Not to be out done by any Rivedell elf, Legolas hurries over to jump up next to him. Leaning down and pulling one of the fresh roses from the vase at his feet, he begins to jam along with Dorindil. Putting his arm over Legolas's shoulder the two grin madly and do their own style TOP GUN performance.

"The only thing I want, The Only thing I need, The only thing I choose, Yeah, the only thing that looks good on me is YOU!"

Rolling their eyes, the twins fall down snickering. "What do you suppose those two will be like in the morning?" Elladan chokes out.

"I don't even want to know! You know how those two are after a night of drinking and being best pals! They cannot stand each other sober but when they are drunk……. Oh, Sweet Valinor, have mercy!" his brother exclaimed.

Standing in the corner, poor Terlin could only shake his head in disbelief. He would have sworn that these two would never get along. Wanting to crawl under a table, he stood helplessly staring in amazement as the two proceeded to start stripping off their shirts.

"Oh, evil of Sauron!! What am I to do NOW!" he thought desperately. At yelled encouragement from the crowd. Legolas and Dorindil grinned at each other before tossing their shirts over their backs and watched the Ladies fight over them. Spotting Zu, Dorindil suddenly went deadly still. After a few moments, he jumped down and began to head her way. Seeing him, Zu's eyes got big.

"Ummmm… I think I need to go to bed now!" she said before making a break for the door. Dorindil caught her before she had gone four paces. Wrapping his arms around her, he begins to nibble on her neck gentlely. Leaning back, Zu looked up at him in askance, "Whatever is this for?"

Grinning down at her, Dorindil replies, "I seem to remember a little tease in a skimpy bathing suit that needed a lesson taught!"

Screeching in mock protest, Zu suffered herself to be thrown over his shoulder and carted off the the nearest private room. Waving grandly, she smiled before they disappeared around the corner.

Meanwhile, Legolas had given up his singing career .Pinning Kristian against a stack of books he grinned at her sexily. Making a sudden grab, Legolas had her by the hand and they were out the door before anyone knew what was happening.

Emmi giggled before rudely being upturned herself by a very drunk Rumil.

Zhie, finding herself alone by the closet door, gasped when it cracked open and she was rudely pulled into the closet. Celeborn grinned down at her before silencing her with a passionate kiss.

Forest was suddenly smooshed between to elven bodies. Both were smiling down at her and she grinned back. "Where to boys?" she asked mischieviously.

Idrenwen soon discovered she had her hands full with the twins and Haldir was soon busy romancing Corri with poetry for the top of his head.

One by one the women were picked up and taken from the room until only Terlin remained. Still shaking his head, he went about calling servants to clean up the mess.

"These ladies are a bad influence on the masters! I think I will just stick to my lovely elf maid, myself, Thank you very much" He grumbled before heading out in search of his own bed.
