`` Frank, there is no way I'm gon na let you put that thing *there*.'' 
 
 
 `` Oh, really?'' said Frank. `` Why's that? Mark, he let me put this thing here.'' 
 
 
 `` That's up to Mark. I'm not Mark. Mark is nowhere to be seen. So, no. Bad Frank. No!'' 
 
 
 `` Alright, fine.'' 
 
 
 Frank's dejected eyebrows managed to maintain their bushy magnificence as they folded towards the fuzzy electronic ground. 
 
 
 The loading bay's side entrance was flung open and the silhouette of an Elf made Frank's eyebrows reach for the heavens. As it so happened, they were currently several lightyears'above' the heavens, but you'd be forgiven for thinking Frank was happy about seeing the Elf. 
 
 `` Are n't the Elves supposed to be hibernating at this time of year?'' asked Frank in a slightly-too-loud whisper. 
 
 
 `` I just woke up,'' said the Elf. `` And I had a great sleep, thanks for asking. Now where the hell did I leave the thing? Has anyone seen it?'' 
 
 
 Frank quickly pulled the thing from out of where he had put it and hid it behind his back. He glanced towards Geoff and offered him a covert wink. 
 
 `` My intuition's telling me that the nearest IHOP is about five hundred kicks to the east,'' explained the Elf. `` And if I'm right, I'm going to need the thing. S.T.A.T.'' 
 
 
 `` Who spells out'stat'?'' Frank asked. 
 
 `` Um, are n't Elves supposed to be, like, y'know, wise?'' asked Geoff. 
 
 
 `` How do you mean?'' 
 
 
 `` There's no east in space. That does n't make sense. And even if there was an IHOP five hundred kicks from here, the thing would n't save us. Not after where you've been putting it, ey Frank?'' 
 
 Frank and Geoff laughed while the Elf scowled at them.
