Marie: Told you it was coming soon. Here ya go.

"Meds-R-Us, and the Silver Mall of Medusa."

Blingaling pointed out a very shiny building they were nearing, located at the center of Meds-R-Us, the capital of Noblonde.

"There dwells Theo O. Dan, king of Noblonde, whose mind is…"

"Stoned?" suggested Legolordas. He was merely trying to be helpful. I can assure you he didn't expect to see a lock of his beautiful blonde hair go floating to the ground as a result of this comment…and Blini's very capable scissors. He shrieked.

"Hey, man, that's what you get for interrupting me."

Blini sniggered. There was now an obvious spot on Legolordas's scalp that was missing some hair. Good ole clippers…

Blingaling continued. "His mind has been poisoned by Taraman."

Blini blinked. "How can you poison someone's mind? I mean, I know you can poison someone's body, all you gotta do is crush up about fifty sleeping pills and pour them into someone's drink…" Upon noticing everyone staring at him Blini cleared his throat and said, "Not that I've done it or anything…"

Legolordas sighed. "My dear Blini, he did not say 'mind' he said 'rind'."

Thonagong frowned at this. "Rind? That doesn't make any sense. I'm pretty sure he said 'behind'."

"Behind! What? How can you poison someone's behind and what good would that do?" the Bell pointed out.

However the mysterious woodsman ignored this and shot back, "Well how about your comment? 'Rind'? I don't have a rind? Do you? I don't think King Theo has one!"

Legolordas stuck his tongue out at the man and so he stuck his out at the Bell in response. Blingaling quickly broke up the feud and told the group to be careful what they said and did.

"Hey, little cousin dude? Are you, like, dead or something?"

Tina Maggotnose sighed at the girl. Was she really that dense? Of course he was dead! He had died that night, no thanks to her. She just sat there popping her gum and reading the latest issue of Mayonnaise.

"No, he's hibernating," he said sarcastically. This was a well known pun. Many used it- Taraman, Melvin…himself.

Her mascara rimmed eyes widened. Then she frowned and said, "Do people really hibernate?"

Tina sighed again. "Never mind."

Blini surveyed Meds-R-Us, thinking it looked a bit drab and severely lacking some serious highlights. It was obvious that it had been a while since the moles had visited. This would hopefully be remedied.

"You'd find more cheer in a…" He didn't get to finish.

A little voice rang out. "Did you say cheer?"

Suddenly a whole company of blondes in cheerleading outfits that read, "Noblonde Number One" skipped up. They quickly started doing stunts and cheers.

"One! We are the Horses!

Two! A little bit louder!

Three! We still can't hear you! We are number…

One! We are the Horses!

Two! A little bit louder!

Three! We…"

The leader was quickly knocked unconscious by Blingaling's long stick thing (yeah he hadn't lost that).

The group continued to move through Meds-R-Us until they came to the entrance to the Silver Mall. There was an army of guards waiting for them at the doors, wearing your normal Matrix style suits only with hot pink ties to spice things up a bit.

"Sirs, we're sorry but you need to go through security first. Please remove all metal objects from your pockets, purses, backpacks, beards, staffs…"

Blingaling interrupted at this part. "AHEM! It's a long stick thing!"

The guard rolled his eyes and said, "LONG STICK THINGS, wax fruit containers, and sheaths."

They had no other choice so, regrettably, the four started pulling out things from the most unlikely of places since they consisted of metal. Blingaling was very upset since he did not want to part with his newfound accessory- bling. But unfortunately this would most definitely set off the metal detectors so he took it off temporarily, holding the guards to their word that he would get it back when he was done. He refused to part with his long stick thing, however, and told them he needed it to lean on, plus it had a great stereo built in and he promised them he would show it to them later.

The first to go through was Thonagong. He did fine and gathered up all his stuff at the other side. He waved at those still waiting and grinned, his not-very-white teeth (I would say it's a lovely shade of yellow…) glistening.

Next was Blingaling and since the only metal he had was his bling he did alright too.

But that's when the trouble began. Blini was the next one to pass under the dreaded metal detector. He slowly walked under it and thought he was home free…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The mole glanced around frantically, wondering what the noise was and why everyone seemed to be staring at him like he was a criminal. Suddenly some guy was putting his hands all over him so Blini did the sensible thing- kicked him where the sun don't shine which is easily accessible for a mole.

Suddenly Blini was aware of a roaring, trampling sound and it seemed to be getting louder. He turned around and his eyes widened in fright. A large group of…abnormally sized men in black suits and pink ties were now running at him with full speed.

"AA…crunch!"

The sounds that followed were that of Blini, son of Bloin, being dog piled and squished by men in pink ties.

Suddenly the metal detector operator realized it was simply a glitch in the system and the large pile of men receded and Blini was left on the ground, a little flatter than before.

Now by this time Legolordas was very nervous about having to go through next since he wasn't too fond of being groped and then tackled even if the men he was being tackled by had great taste in ties.

He walked timidly through the detector, as his stuff passed through the X-Ray belt beside him. He breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped through and no blaring sirens started sounding off. He was about to get his stuff when he felt a little tap on his shoulder.

"Excuse me, sir, but we need to look through your stuff for safety measures. We think we may have found something but…we just need to check."

Legolordas had no idea what they were talking about so he stepped aside and let them do their thing.

The men started shuffling through his bag, picking up some of the more curious objects- a picture of Orlando Bloom (whoever he is!), strawberry kiwi body mist, a bottle of moisturizing lotion, and some hair dye. That is what got their attention- the hair dye. Apparently it had some sort of element that was being used widely in meth labs recently and it had been banned from Noblonde (which would explain the increasingly visible hair roots).

Upon realizing this after being slammed against a wall, his face now embedded in the plaster, Legolordas mumbled innocently, "Um…that's not mine…"

Note: YAY! I love this! It so funni! Lol.
