I am so sorry for taking forever to update this! All praise to my friend Guest reviewer, who kept nagging me with reviews, reminding me that someone wanted more. I admit I was a but discouraged because I only got a couple reviews on my last chapter. :/ But hopefully that won't be the case again! *hint hint*

Thank you again, guest! It's because of you this chapter got written. :)


The Brohirrim race back to Edoras. EasterEggOmer is carrying Theodred in front of him on his pink pony.

MilklyWayn is looking out from the front of the Golden Hall, she rushes into a bed chamber where EasterEggOmer is kneeling next to Theodred on the bed.

MILKYWAYN:

Theodred.

Theodred's lips are covered in toothpaste. EasterEggOmer gestures for Eowyn to look inside his mouth. She sees that his teeth are sparkling white and have even been flossed. She closes her eyes. They exchange sorrowful glances.

Together they go to speak to King Theoden. Theoden is sitting motionless in his chair, his teeth looking all too clean. He has obviously not eaten any candy lately.

MILKYWAYN:

Your son's teeth have been brushed, my lord.

EASTEREGGOMER:

He was ambushed by dental assistants. If we don't defend our country, Sourman will clean all our teeth by force.

Theoden shows no reaction. From behind him Crest appears.

CREST:

That is a lie. Sourman the White has ever been our friend and ally.

THEODEN:

(mumbling quitely) Crest. Crest. (Crest kneels down next to him) Crest.

EASTEREGGOMER:

Dental assistants are roaming freely through our candy shops. Unchecked. Unchallenged. Brushing teeth at will. Dental assistants bearing the White Hand of Sourman.

EasterEggOmer drops a toothbrush and it rolls over showing the white hand of Sourman.

CREST:

Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled set of teeth? Can you not see? Your uncle is wearied by your malcontent...your flossmongering.

EASTEREGGOMER:

Flossmongering? (grabbing Crest) How long is it since Sourman bought you? What was the promised price, Crest? When all the men's teeth are brushed, you will take your share of the treasure?

Crest glances over EasterEggOmer's shoulder as MilkyWayn is walking out of the Hall... EasterEggOmer follows his eyes and sees him looking at his sister. MilkyWayn pauses and exchanges glances with Crest then walks out frowning.

EASTEREGGOMER:

(squeezes Crest's face) Too long have you watched my sister's teeth. Too long have you haunted her candymaking.

Crest looks over EasterEggOmer's shoulders as two guards approach him and pull him off Crest.

CREST:

You see much, EasterEggOmer, son of ChocolateEgg.

EasterEggOmer struggles to free himself from the guards.

CREST:

Too much. You are banished forthwith from the kingdom of Brohan...and all its domains under pain of toothpaste.

EASTEREGGOMER:

(is punched by the guards) You have no authority here. Your orders mean nothing.

CREST:

This order does not come from me. It comes from the king. He signed it this morning.

Crest shows EasterEggOmer the manuscript banishes him from the Kingdom of Brohan

"Let it be known that

EasterEggOmer, Son of ChocolateEgg,
third Marshall of Riddermark

Is banished forthwith from
the Kingdom of Brohan and all
its domains from this day forth,
being the eight and thirtiéth
year of the reign of

Théoden, Son of Thengel,
King of Brohan."

EasterEggoMer is dragged out.
