"Yep!" said Arwen. Leaping up to hug the monkey. "He's our prize photographer, Mr Monkey."
"Argee boobok!" said the monkey, dancing around and knocking some clips off the shelves.
He picked some clips up off the floor and handed them to Elrond.
"Rbkjyt!"
Elrond looked at him questioningly.
"He wants you to out those clips in your hair and stand against that wall; facing north-eastwards and playing to bassoon."
Elrond was a little puzzled. "Um. Which clips? And…. I don't have a bassoon."
"Shh…" said Arwen warningly. "He might hear you."
Elrond thought that this was all very strange, but he obediently crammed as many butterfly clips into his hair and stood against the wall.
"Jebkeble!" said the monkey.
"The bassoon," Arwen translated.
Elrond put his hands in front of him, as if he was playing the bassoon, all the while thinking how stupid it was.
The monkey began clicking away with the camera.
"Kybibloogle!"
"He said "That's very good!""
"Jpykat."
""Yes, that's right, one more!" "
After a while Elrond was starting to get bored.
"I'm bored!" he whined.
"Jamlaby!"
"He says he doesn't like your attitude."
"Well I don't like the fact that I'm being bossed around by a monkey and my ex-daughter!"
"How dare you refer to me as your ex-daughter!"
"I'll call you whatever I damn want to!" He smirked. "Dwarf."
Arwen, needless to say, was OUTRAGED! "You are the most-"
"Gumpy!"
Arwen glared at the monkey.
"NO!"
"Gumpy! Wqll!"
"There is no way in hell you are-"
"Gumpy. Yvc. Eyk!" he said through clenched teeth. His face was so close that she could see the fleas on his fur. Arwen was a little intimidated.
"Ok, fine." She sighed and walked up to Elrond. "I have to stand next to you in the next shot." Elrond's eyes widened in shock. "You mean-but-you hate butterfly clips!"
"I know! But he's making me do it."
"Hehe you're being bossed around by a monkey!"
"So are you."
"Shut up."
Arwen put a clip in her hair.
"Keman!'
She put some more in.
"Oogl sentalkebat."
"But-"
"Gumpy!"
"Fine! Be that way!"
She put her arm around Elrond and forced herself to smile. The monkey took some more shots.
"Lenti."
Arwen yanked the clips out of her hair and ran out of the room faster than he'd ever seen her move. Faster than he'd seen anyone move as a matter of fact.
The monkey began to pack up. Elrond looked questioningly at the monkey. He monkey waved his hand. Taking that as an affirmative answer, Elrond shoved as many butterfly clips into his hair, cloak, pants, everywhere as he possibly could. He skipped lightly out of the room, singing, "I'm so happy, coz today I've got butterfly clips!"
Glorfindel looked at him strangely as he skipped past the main office.
"Out so soon?" He asked.
"Elrond nodded happily.
"Yep!"
He continued to skip out the door and all the way home.
"Weirdo!" Glorfindel muttered, and went back to his scrapbook of used bubble-gum pieces. The monkey came by and waved to him. Glorfindel waved back.
"Have a nice day!"
…………Well, we have one chapter left. What will happen in the next exciting instalment of Elrond's butterfly clip obsession???????
Ahem. Anyways, the song's is a (slightly changed) version of Nirvana's "Lithium".
