The Road Goes Ever On And On

Chapter Twenty-three: Elrond Visits The Beauty Shop
Elrond was still very pissed off about the burning of his dresses the following day. Which the dress burning brigade had planned on. So he purposely stayed as far away as he could from the four ghosts, Tithenwen, Nicholas, Becca, Mary, Faramir, Legolas, Kate, and Gimli so he would keep form strangling one of them. He didn't yet know that Elladan and Elrohir were working with the group.
Elrond ordered that the ashes of his dresses be carefully swept up and placed in an ornate box. Then, after a hole was dug in the ground, he laid the ashes to rest in a grave marked 'Elrond's Dresses'. Once his dresses had been laid to rest, he headed off to the see the dressmaker so he could order some new dresses.
While Elrond was busy, the group met and had another Elrond torture planning meeting. They could feel that Elrond was cracking and wouldn't be too much longer before he'd give up. Everyone attended the meeting except the four ghosts who were to distract Elrond if he got too close to the meeting. And all the people in attendance were either sugar high or very, very happy.
Mary couldn't sit still and was very upbeat and peppy for once. Faramir was busy trying to calm her down but he didn't have much luck with her.
Tithenwen was also sugar high and close to bouncing right out of the meeting. But Becca, who was even more sugar high than Tithenwen, kept poking her and pissing her off. Nicholas had to sit between the two to keep Tithenwen from killing her cousin was having too much fun annoying the Ranger. Nicholas even had to take Tithenwen's weapons from her and give them to Dolly.
Dolly was just very, very happy. And when she was handed Tithenwen's sword and dagger, she was singing very loudly. She also ran off with Tithenwen's sword and dagger, taunting Tithenwen as she ran.
So Tithenwen jumped out of her seat and took off after a cackling and singing Dolly. She tacked Dolly after Dolly ran face first into a tree, smashing her glasses and her nose. Tithenwen kept screeching at Dolly.
"No touchie my sword! No touchie my Anduril! Give it back! GIVE IT BACK!" Tithenwen screeched, clawing at sword and dagger that Dolly held.
Dolly kept laughing and holding the sword and dagger just out of the shorter girl's reach, after she knocked Tithenwen off her and stood up. God, Dolly loved being tall. She just stood there, laughing like a maniac and taunted Tithenwen.
"Mwahaaahaaa! You can't get it, shrimp! Heehee!" Dolly teased, holding the sword and dagger up just a little higher.
Tithenwen jumped up and stabbed Dolly in the side with a stick, causing the taller girl to bend over and lower the sword and dagger. Gleefully, Tithenwen grabbed her sword and dagger out of Dolly's hands and turned around to ran – and ran right into Elladan and Elrohir who were really the only sane people there besides Nicholas and Faramir.
"Tithenwen, give me those!" Elladan sat taking the sword and dagger from his niece.
"Hey!" protested Tithenwen.
"Now, go sit down! You'll get them back if you behave!" scolded Elrohir, pointing his finger at Tithenwen who made a face and then pouting, sat back down.
Kate, Legolas, and Gimli had to take Dolly to the Healers, so the only people who remain were Tithenwen, Nicholas, Becca, Mary, Faramir, and the twins. Everyone sat in their seat, slightly calmer than before, seeing as most of the sugar highs had ended or were ending.
"Any ideas?" Nicholas asked the group, once everyone was quiet and seated.
"We should give Elrond a haircut!" Mary suggested.
"And shave his creepy eyebrows off!" added Becca.
"Yeah!" Tithenwen agreed.
"And make him wear make-up!" Mary said with an evil smile forming on her face.
"And paint his nails!" Tithenwen added, also forming an evil smile on her face.
"Okay then," said Nicholas, slightly afraid of his fiancée and her friends. "I guess we've got some ideas!"
"How about we strike again at night?" Faramir suggested.
"Good plan!" Elladan agreed and everyone else nodded in agreement.
"But not so many people," Elrohir said.
"Um, how about just Mary, Tithenwen, and Becca?" Nicholas asked to the group.
"That'll work!" everyone said.
"We strike at midnight, and don't forget to wear black!" Tithenwen said to the group and all the guys left, leaving the three girls to plot their torture.
At midnight on the dot, the three girls silently slipped into Elrond's rooms again. Elladan and Elrohir had been sure to add a sleeping potion to the last thing he drank that night, so he'd sleep. Becca held a dagger, borrowed from Tithenwen to cut Elrond's hair with and a razor to shave off his eyebrows with. Mary had a small bag filled with heavy, hard to remove make-up that she'd stolen. Tithenwen had a bottle of bright pink nail polish and bottle of orange glitter nail polish.
They quickly went to work. Becca shaved his eyebrows first, so Mary could start fixing his make-up. Tithenwen started painting Elrond's toes, the base pink, then covering it with the orange glitter. The toes looked very girly once Tithenwen was finished and proceed to do the same on with the fingernails. Becca cut Elrond's hair unevenly and ugly. It was short in some places and long in the others.
Mary applied some serious girly make-up onto his face. She caked the stuff on and made sure to add very bright pink lipstick and blush and purple eye shadow. She also pulled out some hair dye and all three of them dyed his hair bright pink, purple, and neon orange.
Once finished, they took several pictures with a camera 'borrowed', AKA 'stolen' from Dolly and left, trying very hard not to fall over laughing. Their mission was complete.
Author's Notes:
I'd say that the girls got Elrond very good that time. I can only imagine what will have when he wakes up. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Next update soon!
Reviewers!
Cassandra of Troy – Off key singing and head banging is a good idea! Maybe on the way to Lothlorien! Glad you are enjoying part two!
Mr. Random – Fire and dresses always mix when it comes to torturing people such as the greedy dress wearer! Midgets robbing banks while humming the Mission Impossible theme, I could totally see that!
Laer4572 – Yup, the twins are here and they are just as evil as everyone else! Maybe not stealing Haldir's clothes, but we should be able to think up a way to annoy him.
