The Hobbit : There and back again and again.

Prologue.

Ok so it is my thinking that bilbo did not sit idle whilst grieving for Thorin and being corrupted by the ring, so he had lessons with balin and ori in dwarven politics, language and culture, with Dwalin and gloin in combat and blacksmithing, with ion and the Gamgee's in plants and healing, he spent a lot of time with dis learning of thorin's earlier years he helped her for a time to care for her people and lead them back to erebor where he was made a lord of the durin court, he wore thorin's beads around his neck so his one was always with him ( in a sense) after helping to revive erebor he returned home to hobbiton leaving erebor in the hands of his friend, stewardess to the throne of durin Lady Dis.

also eru blessed their union with another gift, if Thorin claims his mate, not only will they be able to conceive but, Thorin's gold lust will have no effect on him and the corruption of both the arkenstone and the ring will not occur to either of them, (for those who haven't read the books, Eru is the leader of the valar, they are the worshipped creators of Middle earth and all the races, eg. the dwarves creator was mahal, Yavanna created the hobbits, so to be blessed by eru, is to be blessed by the creator of the creators).

A second chance.

It had been three hours since they had left the grey havens on their voyage to the undying lands, bilbo was sitting on a crate at the stern of the ship reminiscing and remembering his wild adventures, wishing he could go back, wishing he could change what had happened to his one and only love all those years ago at that horrific battle.

A musical voice drifted to him, saying; "you can, we can send you back, if its truly what you desire" shocked and searching for the source of the voice, bilbo without even thinking breathed out a desperate "yes".

There was a flash of bright white light, bilbo awoke with a start in his bed inside his room within his hobbit hole, elated he looked at himself in the mirror seeing his 51yr old self staring back he grinned and decided on a celebratory smoke out the front of his hole.

Sitting on the bench bilbo started blowing smoke rings when along came that meddlesome old friend of his Gandalf, soon bilbo said "good morning", "do you mean to wish me a good morning, or is it a morning to be good on, or is it a good morning weather I wish it to be or not"? During Gandalf's little tirade bilbo smiled remembering the first time he sat through this talk, deciding to put the wizard out of his misery was a very good idea bilbo piped up and said "it's wonderful to see you Gandalf".

Completely shocked that bilbo remembered him, he stood the mouth hanging loose staring at the anomaly that was bilbo, "to what do I owe this very fine visit my dear wizard" bilbo asked with a hint of humour.

"Oh, ah well you see bilbo i come looking for a fine young hobbit to share in an adventure," Gandalf said with a lilt at the end,

"an adventure you say, hmmm well its good you came to me then I have long since decided it is exactly what I need and have longed for, I shall join you, is it just us or are there more?"

"There is a party of 13 dwarves with which we will be travelling, if it agreeable to you I will bring them tonight for supper?" Gandalf asked!

"Yes that will be fine I suppose I should prepare for their arrival see you later Gandalf"
