Unfortunately, the sleeping pill wore off Ferri before Luin could find out where the heck Legolas was hiding.

Ferri woke up, and saw Luin. She tried to walk over there, but the splint on her tail completely ruined her balance. Falling, stumbling and tripping over things she shouldn't trop over, Ferri made it to where Luin was.

"Hey! Why did you leave me there? You could have woken me up!" Ferri groaned.

"Couldn't. You had a dose of sleeping pill that coulda knocked an elephant out for an hour. You sure as heck weren't gonna wake up."

"Did you find Legolas?"

"Nah, he's gone."

"Maybe he went to Mandos' place. He did say he was having a party with lots and lots of sugary treats today."

"All right! Let's go!" Luin cheered.

Ferri began to chant, "SuGAR! SuGAR!" in ferret, which sounds like - well, it sounded really funny, and because she had just injected Luin with more serum, Luin was giggling a little too much.

"SuGAR! SuGAR! SuGAR! SuGAR!" The two marched to Mandos' house, in search of Legolas and a sugar high.

Ferri rapped on the door and Mandos opened it to see a little ferret and a stoned Elf standing on his doorstep chanting, "SuGAR! SuGAR!"

Ferri held up her paw to stop Luin from chanting, "Sugar," but Luin kept on chanting.

Ferri smacked Luin's knee, but she STILL went on chanting.

Ferri said something to Mandos in Ferretish, and he picked her up. WHAM! Ferri punched Luin in the forehead.

Luin shut up pretty fast. She fell over. "Ow."

She sat there, rubbing her head. "Hello, Mandos. We're looking fo some chocolate, popcorn, sugary treats - oh yeah and Legolas. Any of that stuff here?"

Mandos gave Luin a funny look, and started shutting the door in her face. Ferri was sitting on Mandos' shoulder, and grinned evilly at Luin's blank look.

Then Ferri felt bad. "Aww, Mandos, at least give Luin a chocolate cake. I know she's evil, but she's really nice when you get her high."

So Mandos gave Luin a chocolate cake, and THEN he shut the door. But Luin was busy being happily stoned, eating chocolate cake. Meanwhile, Ferri was inside, eating lots and lots of chocolate and sugar and popcorn and sitting on Legolas' shoulder (he was there).

Ferri was, as far as she was concerned, in heaven. She was eating sugar, sitting on Legolas, eating chocolate, talking with the baking god in a really high (annoying) ferret voice, eating popcorn - but she wasn't allowed to swear, as she had traumatized Legolas bad enough. Despite the fact that she couldn't swear, it was all good.

Then Luin had to go spoil it all by knocking on the window, asking for more chocolate.

Legolas' eyes got REALLY big, and he tossed Ferri to Mandos (who caught her, fortunately) and bolted. (Legolas, not Mandos).

Luin broke the window, climbed through, stole some food, and chased Legolas around the house.

Ferri and Mandos stood there, staring at the stoned Luin chasing Legolas. Ferri chattered something to Mandos in Ferret, and grabbed some of her serum. Mandos threw Ferri and her serum at Luin.

Unfortunately, Ferri hit right on target, and injected Luin with the serum - but it reacted with something in the chocolate, and *POOF!* Luin had turned into a ferret too.

"Ha ha ha! Revenge is sooo SWEET!" Ferri gloated.

Luin said something in Ferret that made Mandos turn red with anger and yell, "That was NOT NICE!"

Luin shrugged, and jumped up on Legolas' shoulder. Hey, it's not all bad, she thought. I could never have done this when I was an Elf.

Ferri jumped on Legolas' other shoulder, and Legolas handed Luin a chocolate chip cookie.

Luin munched on her cookie, while Ferri sat thinking regular - err, RELATIVELY, that is - normal elf thoughts. She knew that she could probably turn back into her Elvish self, but because her tail was busted, she was hoping to turn the sympathy into chocolate.

She was also deciding a better revenge for Luin, simply because she couldn't stand another ferret taking away all the attention she got from Legolas. But look on the bright side, she thought. She can't run very far with Legolas before I know she left!

Luin sat munching her cookie and playing with Legolas' shiny prettiful hair. Ferri glared at her, and then started braiding her side of Legolas' hair.

Luin glared back, and began giving Legolas ponytails all over HER side of his hair.

When the ferrets were finished, Legolas' hair looked like it had been struck by a hurricane. Braids and ponytails stuck out every which way, and placed here and there about Legolas' head were little barrettes shaped like flowers and ducks.

Ferri and Luin surveyed their work, nodded to each other in satisfaction, and pulled out cameras to take as many pictures as they could.

"Mandos, can we do your hair too?"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" The god of baking and all pastries sugary sweet ran out of the room.
