A/N: Hi guys! I'm starting this fanfic because, lets say, I was inspired and I wanted to make a Hobbit story with my in-real-life friends and myself, so this is why I'm writing this story. I'm using our real names. I don't own any of the Hobbit or LotR characters! Also, expect this story to be quite random and funny! Because that's how me and my friends are! Well, review, I want to know what you think! And also, this time I'm not pairing my character with Legolas :) Decided to go for his daddy instead xD So expect future Thranduil/OC and also, Kili/OC! Don't forget to review!

[SET IN SUMMER 2014]

Chapter 1 – I love it, I don't care!

It was hot. Hot as hell. Like, really. Well, it was July, so I assume being hot was normal. I was at the beach with my friends. We don't normally go to the beach. I don't like lying under the sun that much, and my friends are the same as me, but today was an exception. We were at the beach, lying on the sand, near the sea and it was great. Me, Inês and Bernardo were 18 years old and Sofia was 19. We were friends since our 10th grade. My name was Catarina, but my friends usually call me Cat. I had long dark brown hair, and brown eyes. Well, we all had brown eyes. Inês had her hair dyed red. Sofia had hers short, dark brown, like mine, and with curls. Bernardo, on the other hand, was blonde. And had glasses that sometimes reminded me of Harry Potter, even though his glasses weren't even round. Anyway, we were at the beach, enjoying the weather and our friends' company and that was all that mattered at that moment.

"Hey, let's go to the sea for a bit?" Sofia asked, raising her head a bit.

I sat up and nodded before replying.

"I'm in"

"Me too" Inês said "It's getting a bit too hot here, and I don't really want to get sun burnt, like, it really hurts"

I saw Bernardo standing up and moving next to the water. I followed him, along with Inês and Sofia, who had just stood up as well. We got in the water and played around for a while. It was quite cool, but it felt good, because the weather was just so hot. I was with Bernardo laughing loudly about a joke he had come up with about a fat woman that was trying to swim next to us. I splashed some water at his face, and hid behind Sofia and Inês and they just giggled and moved away a bit.

"Girls!" I shouted in a dramatic voice "Why are you leaving me?"

I didn't get the chance to hear their answer because I got water thrown at my face.

"YOU" I yelled at Bernardo, while chasing him, splashing more water.

We played in the water for a bit longer and then we went back to our towels and sat on the sand eating melon cubes and pineapple cake. It was good and fresh. A conversation about fandoms started while we were eating. Bernardo was a total Potterhead, Inês was a Supernatural fan, Sofia liked Game of Thrones and I, well, I was a Ringer. I mean, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit fan. I was also a Harry Potter fan.

"Guys, on the 1st of September, this year, let's host a 'Finding Hogwarts'" Bernardo said.

"Hm? What do you mean?" I asked, curiously.

"Like, let's mentally pretend we're all going to Hogwarts" he explained.

"Oh! I like the Idea" I exclaimed.

"Yes, it sounds fun" Sofia commented, with a nod.

"Can we host a 'Finding Middle-Earth' too?" I asked, in an excited tone.

"Sure" Inês said, supporting my idea.

Well, all of us were Lord of the Rings fans.

"The things I would do if I got to middle-earth!" I said, in a dreamy voice.

"We know, we know…" Sofia stopped me from going on for hours talking about my dreams of middle-earth.

I didn't talk more, as the chat topic changed to random day-a-day stuff. I was in my little shell daydreaming of Middle-Earth and how I would love to have the chance, once in life, to be an Elf and meet real elves, and real dwarves and hobbits, of course. The time passed quite quickly and we decided to take our leave. We packed our stuff and walked out of the beach, chatting about random stuff and we went to Sofia's car. She was the one who drove us there. We got in. We were going to the cinema, so we had to drive to the mall, where the cinema was. Everything seemed fine for a while. We had loud music playing, and we were singing along as we travelled. The song playing was "I love it, I don't care" by Icona Pop.

I'm not sure of what happened, but everything was really fast. I suddenly felt something heavy colliding with the car we were in, and our car was thrown off the road, it spun around a bit and then crashed hard against a wall. I was terrified and all my body hurt. The glasses of the windows had broken and fell on us. I had hit my head hard somewhere with the car. I slowly felt everything going black. So this is what it feels like dying… And everything was black. I felt light like a feather. It wasn't bad. I let myself go, not really sure of what had just happened.

I slowly opened my eyes. I wasn't dead, somehow. I tried to sit up a bit, and I saw Bernardo unconscious on my side, and Inês and Sofia seemed to be unconscious too. I looked to my body. I wasn't bleeding or anything, and my summer dress and bikini seemed to be clean, and not covered by blood. Something I remember from right after the accident was the insane amount of blood in the car. My friends' clothes were clean too, and they seemed to be peacefully sleeping. And we were still inside the car. The car wasn't damaged as well. I saw Sofia waking up slowly and I heard a groan from Bernardo. "Good, they're waking up" I thought, before calling them out.

Bernardo opened his eyes slowly and Sofia, who had already opened her eyes, looked at me.

"Where are we? What happened?" She asked, obviously worried.

"I have no idea" I replied, looking around.

We definitely weren't near a street. No signs of a street or cars nearby. We were surrounded by tall trees, which made the place look quite dark and gloomy.

Inês woke up slowly, looking at us, incredulous.

"Shouldn't I be dead?"she asked slowly, blinking her brownish eyes.

"Technically you should" I replied, with a quizzical expression on my face "I have no idea of what's going on"

Bernardo was now glued to the window, looking outside.

"This looks like the Forbidden Forest from Harry Potter!" he exclaimed, excitedly.

"Oh, stop joking" I told him, gently pushing him away from the window "There's no way we can end up inside a book"

Sofia nodded when I said that, and Inês told Bernardo to stop daydreaming.

I heard something moving outside.

"Shush" I told them "I heard something".

We all got quiet, trying to listen whatever I had listened. It sounded like something big walking, but not a normal thing. And I could also notice the sound of something that sounded like blades. Then, something heavy landed on top of our car.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" I shouted.

We didn't have time to think of a reply because something that looked extremely a lot like a huge spider leg started clinging to our car window.

"I told you we were at the forbidden forest!" Bernardo exclaimed, not seeming a bit worried about the fact that we had a giant spider close to our car.

"Oh shut up!" I told him "Sofia, can you get the car to work? We MUST get out of here!"

Inês had a scared look on her eyes and Sofia nodded, while she got the key on the ignition, getting the car to work.

"Hey, it's working! Wow" Inês exclaimed "I thought it was broken"

"Well, we are alive too" I concluded "And now we have to get out of here because …. Guys…. More spiders are coming"

Bernardo still had the excited expression on. But I had the feeling this place wasn't the Forbidden Forest. Sofia started driving through the spiders as fast as she could, trying to get out of the forest. But before we could go any further, the car seemed to get stuck at some tree root. And then, I saw them.

"GUYS!" I yelled "LOOK! PEOPLE OVER THERE!"

Sofia tried to get the car to work for a bit longer.

"Why can't this stupid car fly like in Harry Potter…" Bernardo complained.

"Hey, focus on what's going on and forget Harry Potter for a bit, for god's sake!"

The car finally got unstuck and we drove fast to the people. They were short, like, really short, and looked a lot like dwarves. And the car seemed to have scared them.

And then, it hit me.

We weren't at the Forbidden Forest, we were in Mirkwood. We were in Middle-Earth.
