Chapter:

Samantha and her sister, Veronica, where walking to their church that Sunday. Both Brunettes where being very happy and themselves when suddenly their where woods around them, what seemed like randomly.

"Is it just me or are we in the woods? And when did this happen?" Veronica asked, her brown eyes flicking around and catching their scenery quickly.

Samantha paused and her blue eyes looked around, "Um, I dunno. I tend to have memory lapses so, technically this could have happened at any moment."

Veronica looked scared for a moment then she smiled brightly, "Uh, okay! Like your parents tell you when you are lost, you sit down and do nothing!" She plopped herself down on the ground and then looked up at her sister, "Aren't you going to sit down?"

Samantha looked down at her skirt and grumbled, "I would love to, but due to this stupid skirt I cannot." Then she looked thoughtful and sat down anyways, "Whatever."

Veronica fake whistled because she couldn't. Samantha became irritated and covered her ears, looking very irritated indeed. Samantha grumbled to herself, glaring into outer-space. Her expression matched her clothes, dark.

Balin came over and looked down at the two girls, he was on his way to Bilbo's house, "Oh, hello. Balin, at your service." He bowed with his arms out to his sides then he stood the right way again.

Veronica scrambled up and bowed back, replying, "To yours and your families." She smiled, "I am Veronica, this is my sister, Samantha. Forgive her grumpiness, she doesn't enjoy being lost in the woods."

Balin chuckled and looked at Samantha, tilting his head slightly, "How old are you, young ladies?"

Veronica pointed at herself with a smile, "I am twenty, my sister is nineteen." She pulled Samantha to her feet and said, "Before you ask, no, we are not twins. My sister is heavier then me, she has glasses, and she has blue eyes."

Samantha looked indigent, "I lost weight! I lost ten pounds!" She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at her feet, "Jerk face."

Veronica ignored her sister, "Are we in Middle Earth?" She tilted her head at Balin with curiosity and said easily, "I am looking for Bilbo. We heard that Gandalf was meeting him with a company of dwarves."

Samantha looked at her older sister in amazement then looked back at Balin. Balin nodded and said, "Yes, that is where I am going now. Would you both like to accompany me?"

Veronica nodded and smiled, "Sure!" She looked at her sister, "Will Sammie be able to wear her skirt around like this or will we need to stop and get her clothes that she can move around in better?"

Balin studied the young lady with curiosity, "Hurm, Yes. We will stop in the town before Hobbiton and get her better clothes. Why don't you both have beards?"

Veronica said with a deadpan expression, "Thats because we are not dwarves. We are humans, even if we are shorter then most."

Balin nodded once, satisfied with that and he walked in front of them, going towards the town before Hobbiton, "That makes sense, come, we must not be late."

Samantha grumbled to herself, cursing herself for trusting Balin. But he seemed like a nice enough dwarf, and from what she remembered from the movies, he would always be nice. Samantha had to think back in the books, how many of the dwarves ended up going insane?
