The rain poured down in sheets, as two dark silhouettes huddled together inside the castle, safe from the weather outside, but not from the impending doom they knew they were in for.
As one of them sneezed, thunder crashed outside.
And the world was silent.
For a while...
"I never thought I'd die this way…"
"We wouldn't have to die if you had just left well enough alone!"
"I did it for your sake!"
"I never asked you to!"
"Come on, I did it out of friendship, you once trusted me with your life, my friend…mellon nin!"
"I…you…you've gone too far this time…"
"Please! Forgive me, find it in your heart to forgive me, before we are ripped to shreds by the inescapable doom that awaits us."
"I…I'm sorry, I can't forgive you…not this time."
As tears streamed down both of their faces, the doom came upon them, the door creaked open…
A candle was lit…
The two friends clasped each other's arms one last time.
"All right, Estel, Legolas, who took my shampoo?!"
And so it was, that the last hope of mankind and the crown prince of Mirkwood met an untimely death, slain by the hands of the fair Evenstar, who could not find her stolen hair product.

Epilogue
"Funny, I never thought I'd die that way…" an ex-human king said in retrospect.
"We wouldn't have HAD to die, had you not touched her shampoo in the first place!!!" Legolas growled, being dead takes the cheer out of many people.
"…"
"…"
"So…did you think we'd die that way?
"I wasn't thinking about dying at all."
"…"
"…"
"Well, not many people die that way you know…"
"Aragorn, if you don't shut up, you're going to die again very soon."
"Sorry."
