One morning, the twins were up and awake, before the sun rose. They flittered around Nerdanel and Feanor's bedroom, giggling and whispering in loud whispers.
"Boys, what are you doing?" Nerdanel grumbled, as they burrowed into her hair. "It's very early!"
"It's light outside! It is time to get up," Amrod insisted. He pointed to where a shaft of dawn light was peeking in through a gap in the curtains.
"It is time for breakfast," Amras decided. He flew over to where firebug Feanor was sleeping, in his little doll's house bed. Nerdanel quickly scooped him up, before he tugged at Feanor's antenna.
"No, Amras, don't awake Atar," she reprimanded. "Now, I will open the window a little, and you and Amrod can go outside to play for a little while".
"Yay!" the twins cheered. Feanor stirred in his sleep, but did not wake. Nerdanel cracked open the window, and her youngest sons flew out eagerly.
"Don't fly off too far," she called after them.
"We won't Amme," Amrod shouted back. He and Amras drifted onto a marigold, where they discussed what to do next.
"Let's go and play on the slide," Amras suggested. "That will be fun!"
"Which slide do you speak of?" Amrod asked. Amras leaned in and whispered in his brother's ear. Amrod raised his eyebrows, then giggled.
"Very well! But if we get into trouble, it was YOUR idea!"

A short distance away, Turgon and Elenwe were fast asleep in bed, inside their beautiful teapot palace. Suddenly, there was a rumbling, whooshing sound, followed by shrieks of excitement. They jumped awake, just in time to see Amrod and Amras sliding in, via the spout! The twins landed in a heap, just missing knocking over the cotton reel side table.
"Boys!" Elenwe squealed. "What ever are you doing?" But the Ambarussa were laughing too much to answer.

There isn't really a big hole in the side of the teapot. I have drawn it cut away, to show the interior. Turgon and Elenwe leave the teapot via the lid, on the far side.
