This is a story that I had thought of after reading a fan-fiction based on Snow White by Pingu The Penguin called "Bilbo Baggins and the Thirteen Dwarves". Seriously check it out it is really good. Anyway, I had this idea of writing a thilbo story based off of Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Mostly because the movie is just beautiful and I can totally see this happening. So, I give you my depiction of how true love conquers all.

I do not own the Hobbit. Yet {evil grin} Onwards!

Once upon a time, in the faraway kingdom known as the Shire, lived a fair king named Bungo Baggins and his queen, Belladonna Took-Baggins. Long had they ruled the kingdom in years of peace and great joy and were beloved by all of their subjects. They had everything a hobbit could possibly want and ask for, a warm hearth, good food, and a lush garden full of many beautiful flowers and more. But there was one thing they did not have that only Yavanna herself could give.

A child.

So for many years, the king and queen tried and prayed to the gods above to bless them with a child. Soon enough, their prayers were answered as Belladonna found herself with child. Within a span of months, she gave birth to a beautiful hobbit boy whom they named Bilbo Baggins. He was a handsome little child with soft honey curled hair on his head and feet, eyes as green as new spring grass, and a contagious smile.

King Bungo was so happy at finally having a child of his own that, he sent a proclamation throughout his kingdom and neighboring kingdoms for all to attend a ball in celebration of the long awaited royal birth. All forms of royalty, nobility and more were invited to come. In a matter of days, elves, men hobbits, and dwarves alike arrived to the palace and celebrated with drink, food and songs. All paid homage to the infant prince with many gifts and blessings for the future and had glimpses at the child. All who came looked upon him in adoration and joy.

Among these people was Gandalf the Grey, a long time friend to the Shire and to the king and queen themselves. He approached Bilbo with a smile then turned his attention to the royals and gave a formal bow before speaking.

"Your Majesties," Gandalf said in a booming voice," allow me to grant your son with three gifts. Being a Wizard, I can grant him three of the most satisfying gifts he and others will cherish." Bungo smiled and nodded to the wizard who returned it fondly and with a quick 'thank you'.

Gandalf then returned to the crib that Bilbo was put in for display. He placed his left hand on top of the child and whispered gently," Shireling Prince, my first gift to you is the gift of beauty." As he spoke, a small silver light developed at the hand. "Spring will arrive everyday no matter where you go, all will look upon you and all will feel beloved to just be in your presence and to hear you speak. So shall it be," Gandalf finishes as he removed his had from Bilbo, the light disappearing as he did so.

Then he pulled out a small stone from his staff and placed it carefully on the child's throat and said, "My second gift, dear Bilbo, shall be the gift of song. You will have a voice as gentle as the wind and as beautiful as a bird's song. You will be heard from near and far and all who hear it will be entranced by it and find comfort in your sweet serenade. And so it shall be." With that, Gandalf removed the stone from the baby's throat and placed it back onto his staff.

Suddenly, before the wizard could continue, a strong gust of wind blew into the room through the windows, knocking down furniture and people alike. Fires were blown out from the candles and all the guests, the royals and Gandalf all watched as a burst of flames appeared in the center of the hall. It stayed for a few moments until it began to die down and a figure in black appeared out of the sudden flames. A man appeared before the king and queen, a man of red hair in black robes, eyes a fierce golden color and skin as white as the winter snow. It was the man who was most feared throughout all of Middle Earth.

Smaug The Terrible.

He was known for his tampering in the art of dark magic and for being the most hated and feared creature that could have possibly walked the earth. Smaug was greedy, coveting gold whenever he found any and pure evil. No matter where he went, it was said, he would bring destruction and chaos in his footsteps. Which is why Bungo never sent an invitation to the man fearing that this would befall him and his family.

What he didn't know was that it was coming anyway.

Smaug walked closer to the thrones where the king and queen sat, shaking in fear of the dark sorcerer. When he approached them, he gave a mock bow before speaking in his deep yet disturbing voice. "Well, what a celebration you have created today King Bungo. All that have great importance in the kingdom are here. Even," here he glanced at Gandalf with a small amused smile, "those who do not," he chuckled. Gandalf remained silent but was ready for whatever Smaug had planned.

"Thank you," Bungo said shakily.

"You know," Smaug looked at the king with a hint of anger glistening in his eyes, "I was quite worried when I did not receive an invitation to this gathering. I admit that I found this quite distressing. In fact, if it wasn't for a little birdie that told me of this then I never would have known. So, now I have come here to ask," now the anger was clearly seen in his eyes, "why?"

Bungo and Belladonna were now both quivering in fear, unsure how to respond without angering the creature. Unfortunately, one of the attendees answered for them.

"Because no one wants you here! You are evil and all you do is ruin innocent lives! Nobody wants you around here or anywhere for that matter!"

Smaug looked around for the one who dared to insult him but to no avail. He would have continued searching until he gave up upon seeing the king's body trembling more than before. This proved that what the stranger from the crowd had yelled was definitely true. But, instead of roaring in anger and do other unpleasant things to the people here in the palace, Smaug hid his anger and displayed a look of fake shock and hurt.

"Oh dear," Smaug said with a slight pout. "Now this is quite the embarrassment. I had hoped...Oh never mind. I better leave." He turned slowly around as if to supposedly leave.

"And," Belladonna said suddenly, " you are not offended?"

Smaug turned back towards the royals and looked at the queen. "Why of course not Your Majesty."

Belladonna visibly relaxed at the response.

"But," now fear returned, "to prove that what I say is true, I too shall bestow a gift on the...precious prince."

Now everyone became scared at what Smaug was planning on doing to the child. When Gandalf made to stand in front of the crib but was tossed aside by an unknown force and landed away from the crib as the man smirked and prepared to give his 'gift'.

"Listen people of Middle Earth!" Smaug yelled, gathering everyone's attention. "The young prince shall indeed grow in grace, honor, and poise. Be adored by all who know him. BUT...before the sun sets on his 20th birthday, he shall hold a golden ring in his hand. A trinket of sorts but when he does take it in his hand...HE SHALL DIE!"

Belladonna screamed and ran to her child as Smaug walked away, cackling as he did.

"SEIZE THAT DEMON!" screamed Bungo.

The cackling grew louder as guards came to attempt to capture Smaug but, as they advanced, flames grew around him and engulfed the man. And just as he came, he was gone in an instant.

The king and queen looked down at the sleeping child in his mother's arms in distraught. So soon had they been blessed with a child and now their son was cursed.

Gandalf walked over to the horrified couple and said, "Please do not be too saddened Your Majesties. I still have one last gift to bestow upon your son. Though I cannot remove the curse, for it is too powerful even for me, I can lessen the outcome."

"Do what you can," Belladonna wept, "please Gandalf."

The wizard smiled reassuringly at the queen before slamming his staff. When he did, a golden mist appeared and surrounded the young child. Then Gandalf spoke his last gift for the prince.

"Sweet Bilbo, if this wicked man's curse does come into effect, should this golden ring of darkness be touched by your hand, I give this gift to you. You shall not die but fall into a deep sleep. Only by true love's first kiss shall this curse be lifted from your poor soul. For true love conquers all. So shall it be."

What did you think? I myself am very proud of this story. Now I did finish writing the whole thing but it will take time to publish for everyone so please be patient with me. I will update every chance I get. Review please!
