15. The One With All The Money

Thranduil is reading a book in his room. The door opens and the Twins enter. Suprised, Thranduil looks up. "Do you still want your hair to grow faster and to shine? Cause we know the perfect way to do that! Use our special comb, it's only for eighty dollars! Are you trying to sell something? Yes... Oh, well I would love to buy it, but I don't have any money. You're King, how can you not have any money?
Right, without money you can't buy things!" Elrohir states in unbelief. "I believe that was the reason why Lusa hid it. But I know where her money is!" He gets up and grabs Lusa's money from the closet. "I can't believe she still thinks I'm smaller than her." He gives them the eighty dollars. "Thank you! Good luck with making up a lie for Lusa!" They walk out.

Outside the door. "I can't believe he just actually paid us eighty dollars. That means we have a profit of eighty dollars." Satisfied they head to the ringshop to buy a ring for Emily.

Thranduil sits down in a chair while stealing another two hundred dollars from Lusa. He gets up to put the box back on top of the closet. Suddenly Lindir walks in and freezes when he sees Thranduil. "Hello." Thranduil folds his arms. "Don't act so innocent, I know you were up to something." He says suspicious. "I was not." Lindir replies sweet. "Don't lie to me! I saw the look on your face when you walked in!" Lindir rolls his eyes. "Alright, I wanted some money. You came here to steal money from Lusa?! Yes." Lindir walks past him and takes the money. "Put that back! No!" Lindir runs towards the door. Thranduil stops him and jumps on top of him. "Give that back, thief!" While Thranduil and Lindir fight about the money Lusa suddenly walks in. They both immediately stop fighting and turn their heads to face Lusa. "What.... He hit me!" Lindir exclaims pointing at Thranduil. "I did not!" But Lusa doesn't even seems to hear him and walks over to Lindir. "Aww... are you hurt?" She hugs him. "Yes. He hurt me." He nods while acting very pathetic. From the ground, Thranduil is watching. That little thief. Next time I will show him our balcony, and the whole space underneath it. "Thranduil, how could you do that!? You can't just hurt poor Lindir. Very, very poor Lindir." Lindir adds sad. "I didn't do that! He was trying to steal your money! I stopped him." And how poor is Lindir now huh...? Thranduil smiles when he sees Lindir staring angrily at him.

For a moment Lusa's quiet. "Oh, I don't mind, it's only money anyway." WHAT!!?? When I'll get my hands on him.... Thranduil thinks. "Are you still hurt? Could I do anything for you to make you feel better?" Lusa asks Lindir kind. When you'll throw him out at least I'll feel better. Thranduil thinks, feeling completely forgotten. "Well... I think some money will definitely help. Okay, here." She gives him five hundred dollars. "Do you feel better now? Hm... well, not quite. But I think with another five hundred dollars I definitely will." So she gives him another five hundred dollars. "Now? I feel all better now, thank you!" He gives her a sweet hug and then walks out. "Aww, that was so cute." Lusa says still thinking at that
moment. "Oh besides, Thranduil stole from you. What!? Bye, bye!" Lindir walks out. "You stole from me!? Yes, and I'm very sad, so can I have my five hundred dollars now?" Lusa folds her arms over her chest.

The Twins enter the ringshop. "Now she will definitely date me. You? Why? I'll have a fabulous ring to show her!" Elrohir looks at the ring. "What? I thought we were doing this together? We are. I make up a plan and buy the ring so that I can win Emily for myself, and you help me with it! Why should I do that? Because my other part of the plan was framing you." See, I knew I was the smartest of us both. I am like Ada, only not as boring. "That's so mean! How could you do that?! Well, I've just done it. And now is the part where I should take the money from you." Elrohir takes the money from his Twin. "No way!" The Twins start fighting about the money. And then they run straight into the showcase. Suprised Elrohir shakes his head and looks up. Slowly he sees the showcase display coming closer. "Oh no." And then it falls right on top of them.
