"NO! PUT ME DOWN! I don't want to go! Can't we just go with the car?" Simone cried as Febe and Jessica dragged her to the plane. "What if the plane is going to crash?! We're all gonna die! Please put me down!"
"You'll love it!" Jessica said as she pulled Simone closer.
"Beside," Febe added. "We can't drive to New Zealand! It's a thirteen and a half hour flight and you want to drive?"
"Thirteen and a half hours?!"
Simone was starting to hyperventilate and Jessica placed her in her seat. Febe placed their hand luggage in the cabins and popped some gum in her mouth.
"Want one?" She asked her friends.
Jessica nodded happy and Simone held on to the chair as tight as she could, whitening her knuckles.
"Attention ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. If you all would be so kind to put on you seatbelts and turn off your electrical devices then we will be leaving soon."
Jessica put Simone's belt around her and Febe had to hold her down.
"Calm down." Febe laughed. "You'll be fine. The chances of a plane crashing are like one in six hundred seventy-five thousand five hundred and-"
"Do not tell me that we are going to be fine." Simone said as she pulled Febe by the collar. "We are going to die! People are supposed to be on the ground not in the air!"
"Lift off!" Jessica shouted and Simone was about to pass out.
XxX
"Are we there yet?" Simone asked. "How much longer?!"
"About five more hours." Jessica answered.
Simone let out a shaking breath.
"I told you that we weren't gonna crash." Febe smiled. "You own me a bag of M&M's!"
"Ladies and Gentlemen we are about to pass through the Bermuda Triangle. It might get a little bumpy so if you would put on you your seatbelts and fold in your table, we would appreciate it."
As soon as the three friends had but on their seatbelts the plane started to shake.
"We're gonna die… Were gonna die…" Simone said panicking. "This is it… Goodbye fair world. I have lived a good life and now we are going to die. WE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE GODDAMN CAR!"
"Speak for yourself."
"We're still flying and as long as we are in the air nothing will happen." Febe said and the shaking stopped. "You see we are perfectly- AAARRHG!"
The plane suddenly started to drop. Febe, Simone and Jessica held onto each with their lives as the plane dropped faster and faster.
XxX
They screamed and yelped as they fell through trees branches. Simone landed with her back on the ground, Jessica hung onto a branch with the end of her skirt and Febe landed in the river next to the tree.
Febe crawled out the water gasping for air. "Holy- What the hell is this?! Where the hell are we?!"
Simone looked up. "Oh my God." She said panicking. "We're dead. We're dead! FEBE I thought you said it was safe?!"
Febe spit the last bit of water out of her mouth. "Don't blame this on me! Jess is the one who wanted to go to fucking New Zealand! Wait, where is Jess?"
"Right here!" She beamed.
Simone and Febe looked up.
"Heya!" She said. "I don't think you could help me down from here?"
Simone climbed up the tree and loosened Jessica's skirt and she dropped to the ground with a loud thump.
"You couldn't have caught her?" Simone asked Febe sarcastically.
Febe didn't respond. She had her hand in front of her mouth and her eyes were wide.
"Febe?" Jessica asked as she pushed herself up. "Are you okay?"
Jessica's question was answered with a very loud and uncontrolled laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Look at you!" Febe laughed. "You two look ridiculous!"
"We should say the same thing to you." Simone said trying to hold her laughter herself. "Since when do you have long hair?"
Febe placed her hand in her wet hair and found out that it went to her hips.
She screamed and Simone and Jessica laughed.
Jessica was wearing a dark blue skirt with a black legging, dark corset with a blue grey shirt under it and black boots. Her hair was put up in a ponytail but the hair in her neck hung loose and was braided. She also had a bow and a couple of arrows
Simone wore brown leather trousers with a forest green tunic on top, a long leather jacket and brown boots. Her hair was braided into a long fish braid that fell over her shoulder. She also had two swords on her hip.
Febe wore a purple knee high dress with grey colored trousers underneath, dark knee high boots and a black cloak. Her hair wasn't short and wild anymore but her long curled locks hung loosely against her back. She also had a ax on her back and a couple of daggers in her boots.
"What the hell happened?" Febe asked after they had a good look at each other. "Where are we?"
"The fucking plane crashed!" Simone said dramatically. "We're in the afterlife."
"Don't be ridiculous." Jessica said. "If the plane would have crashed then there would have been a plane but as far as I can tell we are in a forest."
"No shit Sherlock." Febe said. "But how do we get ourselves out of here?"
"Maybe we should find a path or a road or something." Jessica said. "I mean how far could we have gone out?"
"Maybe we should find a place too." Febe answered looking at the sky. "Looks like it's evening already and I am hungry."
The two others agreed and they started to walk. It didn't take long for them to found a path and they followed it. They were discussing about what happened, Simone kept scolding Febe for taking her with on the place but they laughed in the end. The three friends could never stay mad at each other long.

After a couple of hours they reached a place with a lot of hill and round doors. There was one small house that still had it's lights on and they walked up to it. Febe opened the garden gate and walked up the small stairs before knocking the round green door with a blue mark.
"Go away!" A voice shouted on the other side. "I do not know what that wizard is up to but twelve dwarves are enough! If he thinks that he can just-"
A little man with big feet opened the door and Jessica tried to hide her laugh when she noticed. Simone poured a rib in her side and shout her a look before turning back to the man.
"U-um, hi." Febe said. "We- um- we're a little lost and we saw that the light were still on and hoped that maybe you could point us the nearest place for a night."
The little man just stood there with a shocked look on his face.
"Can we come in?" Simone asked when he didn't answered.
The man opened his mouth but no answer came and of course Jessica took it as a yes and pushed herself in.
"We'll take it as a yes." She smiled. "Names Jessica."
"Bilbo Baggins." The small man finally spoke. "At… your… service?"
Simone and Febe walked in as well and introduced themselves. Bilbo walked into the dining room when something crashed and the girls followed after him.
When they reached the dining room Febe had to duck for a flying sausage. Twelve men cheered but frozen as they saw the girls. They all had a confused look on their faces.
"Heya!" Jessica beamed.
"Maybe we should go?" Simone whispered to Febe who just silently nodded. Simone basicaly jumped into Febe's arms when somebody touched her shoulder. He was blond and had beautiful blue eyes.
"I'm sorry milady." He said to her. "I did not mean to scared you. Fili at you service."
Febe slowly put Simone down and backed up. She jumped in the air as she bumped into some one and quickly stepped behind Jessica using her as a shield.
"And Kili." One with dark hair said. "At your service."
"Jessica." She said. "And these are my friends Simone and Febe." She signed to her friends behind her.
Every man in the room introduced themselves and the girls had a headache after the list of twelve names.
"Well you lassies look like your starving." Bofur said. "I think we can fit three more dwarves around the table."
"Who are you calling a dwarf?!" Febe asked stepped from behind Jessica. "I'm not a dwarf, you're a dwarf!"
"This one's got some fight in her." Dwalin laughed. "But I see a lack of brains."
"Did you just call me blond?!" Febe growled softly.
XxX
"Well look what we have here? How are you my dears?"
The three friends looked up from their food. A very tall man with long hair and beard spoke. The girls were speechless. He was about as tall as a building, or at least to them.
"G-Good" Febe said. "I-I'm sorry b-but do we know you?"
"Well I am Gandalf the Grey, my dear Febe." He said. "I was wondering where you girls were at. You are late!"
"Late for what? She asked. "And how do you know my name?!"
"You will get to know everything soon enough."
"That's a terrible answer!" Simone said with her mouth full. "Tell us where we are."
"Shouldn't you just be happy to be on the ground again, Simone?" Gandalf questioned. "I thought you didn't like flying. Now eat your dinner everything will be explained soon."
Bilbo was stressing. He kept running after the dwarves making sure that they didn't break or ruining anything.
"Excuse me ladies." Gandalf said and stood up. "I have to calm down a hobbit."
"Holy shit!" Jessica said. "Did you see how tall he was?!"
"What the hell are we doing here!?" Simone hissed. "We are having dinner in a house with complete strangers, who knows what they want to do to us!"
"Well I don't think they are going to let us leave now." Febe said in a low voice. "but I don't think that they are going to kill us either."
"That is because we died in a fucking plane crash!"
"There was no plane crash!" Febe said. "I don't think that people get hit by flying food in the after life."
"I like it here." Jessica said.
"You like it anywhere." Simone said rolling her eyes.
"So?" Jessica asked. "This place doesn't look that bad."
"That is because rich people don't get blamed for murder!"
"Calm down, Sym!" Febe said. "You're probably still in shock from the crash!"
"Ya think!"
Suddenly Bofur, Gloin, Nori and Dori started to hit the table with their forks and knives. The girls stopped arguing and looked up. Fili was throwing plates!
"Um… Could you not do that?" Bilbo asked the four dwarves. "You'll blunt them!"
"Oh did ya hear that lads?" Bofur asked. "He says we'll blunt the knives!"
"Watch this lassies." Gloin said and the dwarves started to sing.
"Blunt the knives bend the forks,
Smash the bottles and burn the corks,
Chip the glasses and crash the plates,
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!"
The girls couldn't help but laugh. Even Simone was rolling around in laughter forgetting what happened for a moment.
"Cut the cloth and tread the fat,
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat,
Pour the milk on the pantry floor,
Splash the wine on every door!
Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl,
Pound them up with a thumping pole,
And when your finished and they are whole,
Send them down the halls to roll!"
Plates wear being thrown around the room during the song and Jessica threw a plate at Kili's head a couple of times but he kept catching it in time.
"That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!"
Everybody cheered and laughed until they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"He's here." Gandalf said.
"Who's here?" Febe asked her friends in a whisper. They raised their shoulders and hurried after the other towards the front door.
