"Hey, Sari, we have someting to tell you," Angel whispered, pulling her aside. "I think the kids are becoming their actual age!"
"Huh?"
"Let me," Cora sais, pushing Angel aside. "What we mean, is before, they could talk like their adult selves, but now they're beginning to take on all attributes of the ages they've become. Take Elrond for example. An hour ago he was talking like a normal human adult...well, elven adult, but now his speech is that of a three year old, which is about how old he looks."
"Great...I have no idea what to do with them." Sari flopped down in a flour covered chair. "I guess for now we just give them baths and try to get them to go to sleep. Angel, take Elrond and put him in the tub." Angel gave her a disgusted look. "For crying out loud you have five borthers all of whom are under the age of six and you have to bathe them, this is nothing new to you!"
"I guess you're right. Fine, how about this. I bathe them and you clean up."
"Okay," Cora agreed quickly.
"Cora, you have no idea what you just agreed to," Sari muttered. "Bathing them would have been easy."
"Gimli, Legolas, hobbits," Angel began. "Follow me." She picked Elrond up, who, laughing, smeared some frosting onto her face. Angel just smiled.
"Why should we follow you?" Legolas demanded. All of the others gave her questioning looks.
"Because if you don't then I'm going to make you watch that movie again." After a moment of silent fear all of them ran up the stairs and into the bathroom with Angel right behind them.
"Celeborn, Galadriel, Sarumon, Gandolf," Sari began. They all looked at her. "I'll make you a deal. You help us and you'll get a treat in the end."
"What is it?" Sarumon demanded.
"Its a surprise," Sari answered.
"No way, you probably don't have naything for us!" the nine year old wizard child yelled.
Fed up, Sari ran over and lifeted him off the ground by his collar, holding him up eyelevel. "You listen to me, you little brat! You're ging to help clean and then you'll get your surprise. If you don't help willingly, then you're still going to clean and then I'll tie you to a chair like I did with Aragorn and put on that movie again. Understand?" Sarumon nodded silently. "Good." Sari set him down then looked at everyone. "Alright my little demonspawn...start picking up, we'll take care of the washing and sweeping."
"How come you're so cranky?" Galadriel asked innocently as Sari washed the table down. The elf was also on the table, helping Sari with a second cloth.
"Have you ever dealt with 12 children who were really naughty all at once?" Galadriel shook her head no. "Try it sometime, you'll understand."
All of a sudden there was a loud burst of music, followed by Sarumon and Gandolf running out of the tv room. They had found the tv and x-box, which happened to have a "Nickel Creek" CD inside, and they had pressed play.
"Sari should I-"
"Nah, leave it," Sari replied causally. "I like it." Suddenly she burst into giggles. Galadriel was dancing on the table to the music, and Celebron, who was sweeping the floor, also began to dance. "That's adorable!"
"Get a picture!" Cora hissed. "Before they stopp!"
Sari hurried over to the buffet drawer and pulled out a camera. She snapped a picture of the two child-elves dancing to country music before she started laughing.
"Light...in a box..." Gandolf said, mystified, looking at the camera. Sari snaped a picture of him, and the eight year old jumped back.
"Ah, its not going to hurt you," Sari smiled. Suddenly an evil thought popped into her head. "Unless..."
"Unless what?" Sarumon asked, looking up from the dishes he was washing.
"Sari, what are you thinking?" Cora asked in a hushed whisper.
"Just follow my lead," she whispered back.
"Unless what?" Sarumon repeated.
"Well, you see this little button here?" Sari began, pointing to the zoom button. They all nodded, following her finger. "Well, if you're bad then all I have to do is press this button and then when the light goes off your soul will be trapped inside the box until I decide to let it out."
"Nuh-uh!" Sarumon argued bravely, disblieving her.
"You want to be the first to try it out?" Cora asked, grinning evily at how the nine year old's bravery failed. "Didn't think so."
"You'd better be good and finish cleaning up and take your bath's quietly, understand?" The boys nodded and Galadriel just looked at the camera intensly.
"Speaking of baths, I wonder how Angel is handling the kids."
"Huh?"
"Let me," Cora sais, pushing Angel aside. "What we mean, is before, they could talk like their adult selves, but now they're beginning to take on all attributes of the ages they've become.
