"Mom, breakfast is ready. Get down here!" Serine screamed from the kitchen. She putted the last things on the table and went upstairs.
"MOM, wake up I'm going to school now so be sure to eat your breakfast, okay?
"Mhggb" Her mother mumbled from her bed
"What did you say? I can't hear you"
Her mother sighed and took a deep breath. "Thank you, honey." She managed to say with a tired voice.
"You're welcome." Serine said and ran down the stairs to pack her stuff for school. She took the last bites of her food on the table before heading out, but just before going out the door she screamed: "You really have to eat okay, promise?"
"Yes, yes, I will, I will now go or you will be late!" Her mother shouted back from her bedroom.
"Okay, I'm off. Bye!" Serine said and left.

School was over and Serine was going home, she took her bike and stared to head home until she remembered something.
I still have to buy a new frying pan.
She turned her bike around and drove to the mall. After 10 minutes she arrived, she went inside and bought the frying pan and a few other things she needed.
"Why do I always end up buying more than I need?" She sighed while heading outside. She walked to her bike, but when she wanted to get it she saw a small blue light. She walked to the light and tried to tough it, but it flew away. She started to chase after it, she cased it though alleys and small streets. After some time she ended up in a small piece of forest and there the little light came to a stop. Serine looked at the light and quietly started to walk to it and tried to touch it again, but this time it didn't fly away, she stretched her arm and touched the little blue light.
"Funny little thing." She giggled.
She stared at it for a while and then walked away but stopped when she notice that the little blue light started to shine brighter and brighter. She turned around and walked back to it, she looked at it in confusion until it became too bright to look at she closed her eyes and everything went white.

Serine awoke by the sound of birds singing.
"When did I fall asleep?" She sat up and looked around. She was lying in a beautiful field, she had never seen a greener field like this one before, she stood up notice she had still her bag on and the small bag with the frying pan and other stuff she just bought in her hand.
Now what? She thought and looked around again to see if she could find a road, when she looked at the ground she noticed that she was wearing different shoes than she had on, she was now wearing black fury boots. And not only her shoes changed, her whole outfit was different! Instead of her dress she was now wearing a black legging with brown shorts over it, she was also wearing a leather corset with the most beautiful pattern on it and with fur on top and a tank top underneath. On her arms she had black sleeves from her upper arms to her wrists, leather arm bracers and black gloves but her fingers where visible, she was also wearing a leather belt with a lot of little bags on it and over all of this she was wearing a dark brown cloak which came to her knees. And that was not all… her hair was different too, it was dark brown and now put in a high ponytail but she had bangs but there were two pieces of hair on both ends which came to her chin, she also had two braids behind her ears that came to her hips. She signed.
"What the hell is happening to me, have I gone crazy." She said herself and stared to explore the scenery to look for a path or a village.

Serine had been walking for a while and hadn't found anything. She started to get annoyed and sulked further in into the forest.
"WHERE THE HELL AM I?!" she shouted she heard her voice echo and sighed. She suddenly heard something behind her, she stood still, the sound was getting closer and closer, she slowly reached for the bag with her new frying pan in it. Serine grabbed the handle from the pan and waited for the sound to get closer. When it was close enough she closed her eyes and swung the pan in the direction where the sound came from as hard as she could.
"BANG!" She heard when it hit something after that she could hear a voice curse something in a strange language. She opened her eyes and saw two young men, one was lying on the ground still cursing all kind of things, he had brown hair and a bow and arrows on his back, the other one was helping the other up, he had blue eyes and blond hair with a few braids in it, he was wearing two swords. They didn't look dangerous but she still was careful, she didn't trust the weapons she doubted they were just for show.
"Are you alright?" Serine asked him careful with her frying pan still prepared for a next attack. The brown haired man was now standing with his hand still on the place where she hit him.
"What did you do that for?" He asked with a painful expression on his face.
"Well maybe because someone decided to sneak up on me!" She shouted. "I thought you wanted to kill me! You shouldn't creep up on people like that!"
"Okay, that was my bad" The brown haired man said "But you shouldn't have hit me." He said still rubbing the sore spot on his head.
"So you're not going to hurt me?" Serine asked.
"No, we won't." The blonde man said with a smile "We promise."
"That's a relief" Serine said and let out a deep breath of relief while lowering her frying pan. "I'm Serine by the way, nice to meet ya"
"Kili" the brown haired one said,
"Fili" the blonde haired said,
"At your service" they said in union and bowed.
"Nice slogan, do you always say that when you meet someone?" Serine giggled.
"Yes we do." the two said with a smile.
"That's so funny." She laughed, the two boys looked at each other not knowing what was so funny about it.
"May I ask you why you are alone in this forest?" Fili asked, Serine looked at him and started to think.
"Uhmm, I don't know" She answered after some time. "I wish I did, but I don't. I don't even know where I am right now or where I'm going."
The two men looked at each other and nodded
"You can come with us if you like, we are heading to a meeting in a little village close by, maybe you will find some answers there." Fili said.
"Thank you very much that's a big help!" Serine said happy with a big smile.
"But you have to put that thing away." Kili said while pointing at the frying pan.
"Deal!" she said and putted the pan back in her bag with a smirk on her face.
"OFF WE GO!" She shouted and dashed off.

After some time of walking they arrived at a hill. In this hill there where all small round doors.
So cool. Serine thought while looking around, she felt like a little kid in a toy store. She ran around in joy, it looked like it came out off a Fairytale! The two men looked at her and started to laugh at her reaction.
"What?!" She asked.
"Nothing." The two smirked
"Come we have to go this way" Kili said and pointed at the round door on top of another hill.
"Are you sure I can come with you? I mean, won't they be angry if you suddenly took someone to your meeting?" Serine asked feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, it will be alright" Fili said and they walked to the door on top of the hill. They opened the garden gate and walked to the door, Kili rang the doorbell. A few seconds later the door opened.
"Kili"
"And Fili"
"At your service" They said and bowed down.
"You must be mister Boggins" Kili said.
The man that opened the door looked annoyed and said "No you can't come in, you have come to the wrong house." And started to close the door.
Kili pushed the door open again. "What, has it been cancelled?!" He asked with a worried face
"No one told us" Fili added.
"Canceled? Nothing has been canceled" the small men said with a confused face.
"That's a relief" Kili said and let himself in followed by Fili. Not sure what to do Serine decided to let herself in too. She walked to the little man, which had now his hands full of weapons and stared to introduce herself.
"I am Serine , nice to meet ya." She said she wanted to shake his hand but they were full, so instead she decided to bow down to.
"Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins" he said, he opened his mouth to say something again when the door rang again. "Oh, no no there is nobody home!" He shouted and dropped the weapons in one of the halls when he walked to the door. "Go away and bother somebody else!"
Serine couldn't hear the rest of what he said. Suddenly there was a loud thump. Serine got curious and walked to the door to have a look at whom it was. When she came closer she saw a pile of people lying in the doorway.
"Gandalf…" she heard Bilbo say and she shocked.
