Shyla was a hobbit that was almost to the age to move out on her own. She lived in the Shire and spent most of her time with Pippin, her best friend, and Merry his brother. She had long, red hair, but it was straight which was not normal for a hobbit.

Shyla woke up earlier than normal, what she didn't know is that it wasn't going to be a normal day. She got up and did her morning routine. When she finished breakfast she went outside to get the mail, she was caught off guard by a young dwarf walking by about her age. She had never seen a dwarf before. He did not have a beard but she knew that he was a dwarf. She couldn't help but stare into his dark brown eyes and admire is long brown curly hair.

"Good morning" he said.

"Good morning" she smiled, shocked that he talked to her.

"I was wondering if you knew where Bag End was?"

"YES! ...yes..yes I do" embarrassed she got excited.

Bilbo was her uncle and she went to Bag End almost everyday.

She was explaining how to get there, while he stared at her...

"Why does he keep staring? There is no way he's listening!"-she thought

"I'm sorry I should have introduced myself! My name is Kili" he interrupted.

"Oh, I'm Shyla... "

"Can you show me?"

Why not? He does have dreamy eyes..

"Sure" she said.

They continued talking as they walked.

"Why don't you look like a dwarf?" she asked quickly.

He looked down as if he was insecure about it.

"I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have asked.." she said.

"No, it's fine.. I'm younger so it will eventually come in."

But he looks better without a beard.

They kept talking, and he kept making her laugh.

"I'm not that good at all this" Kili said.

"Doing what?"

"Talking to pretty girls"

" You think I'm pretty?"

"I think your beautiful"

She blushed because a boy had never complemented her before, her straight hair wasn't considered attractive.

"Well... here is Bag End!"

Why is Uncle Bilbos door scratched on?

"Thank you.. I didn't think.. you can't walk home alone"

"I'll be fine.. Nice meeting you, Kili!'

She turned, smiling, and felt him grab her hand, when she turned around he kissed her hand.

"I hope to see you again" Kili said smiling.
