Hehe. It's been some time since I've been in this site, posting stuff. Truth to be told, this has been sitting in the computer for weeks now. Excuse: I'm lazy and busy with school. Everyone is.
The prompt was that character A likes pumpkins and is horrified when character B chops it up... Or something like that. Eh, this is what I imagined. It's not one of my better ones...
Anywho...

"Bilbo, calm down."
"CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN?! HOW CAN I CALM DOWN? YOU KILLED IT!"
Thorin sighed. "I did not, you daft hobbit."
"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU WERE GONNA KILL IT" Bilbo shrilled, staring at his husband with horror, as he glanced at his stained hands. "HOW COULD YOU KILL AN INNOCENT PUMPKIN LIKE THAT?! IT HAD A LIFE TO LIVE!"
At the kitchen table, Fili and Kili chuckled quietly as they watched their uncles argue over a hollow pumpkin, its innards in a bowl.
"For Mahal's sake, Bilbo," Thorin started, wanting to face-palm; he would have, but at the moment he had slimy pumpkin guts on his hands. "The pumpkin isn't alive. It's used for Halloween. Why do you think there are so many Jack-o'-Lanterns?"
The curly-haired hobbit froze, gaping at the three dwarrow. "More? People are killing more pumpkins?"
"Oh yes, Uncle Bilbo," Kili quipped, grinning impishly. "Families of pumpkins are being slaughtered for Halloween every year."
Thorin thundered, "KILI!" but it was too late. Bilbo Durin nee-Baggins nee-Took was already shrugging on his red waistcoat and headed for the door.
"I am going to save those poor pumpkins!" he decided. "You are not going to stop me, Thorin. When I get back, we are going to give that poor pumpkin a proper burial and we are using those unnaturally green watermelons instead!"
Thorin ran after his One, roaring, "YOU ARE NOT TOUCHING MY 'MELONS!"
When the door slammed shut, the blond and the brunet let loose with their laughs. When they stopped, Fili exclaimed, "Oh Mahal That was better than New Year's with the Greenleaf's!"
"You said it! I love the looks on their faces!"
They burst into laughter again after seeing the half-carved vegetable in front of them. They didn't stop even when their uncles came home, still arguing.
Shadow: I am horrible at endings.
Fili: Yup, you do. I think Kili can do better.
Kili: Yeah!
Shadow: Hey! I can do better... when I want to. I bet I can kick Kili's ass in writing fanfiction!
Bilbo: WHY WERE THE PUMPKINS KILLED?! WHY?!
Shadow: It's a prompt. Duh.
Thorin: I'm going to kill you. My 'melons are used instead of those pumpkins.
*Bilbo and Thorin immediately argues in the background, fighting over which is better*
Bilbo and Thorin: SHADOW! WHICH IS BETTER?!
Shadow: I don't care to be honest. I don't like either of them.
Bilbo and Thorin: What?!
Shadow: I'm out. See you guys later. I hope you enjoyed this!
Fili and Kili: Bye!
