Chapter 1
First Meeting the Dwarves.
I came out of Bag End heading to the Green Dragon to work. Bilbo was sitting on the bench smoking his pipe. He was my father's best friend, who became my godfather after my parents died when I was a young kid.
"Hey dad. I'm heading to work. Do you want me to pick you up something when I'm on my way back?" I ask.
"No, Lily. I'll be heading into town and pick up fish for dinner tonight. Have a good day at work." Bilbo said.
"I will try. See you tonight, father." I said, waving as I head to the Green Dragon. I arrive there and see its quite busy. I got my apron on and got to work taking orders and drinks with one of my best friend's, Mary.
A few hours into the shift. I was standing at the bar as it slowed down cleaning mugs when talks turned into whispers. I look up and see dwarves standing in the door. I nearly drop a mug. I've read so much about them that I was able to tell who they were.
"Dwarves in the Shire?" I ask, looking at Mary.
"It looks like it. You want to get them or should I?" Mary asked.
"I'll take them." I said, grabbing my pad and head over to the table where they were sitting down at. I come up to them. "My name is Lily. I'll be your waitress today. What can I get you?" The dwarves ordered drinks and food. I wrote it down, noticing a dwarf with a starfish hairdo. It was different then all the others and pretty different. As if he knew I was looking at him, he looked at me with gray eyes. I turned away and head to put the orders in, feeling the eyes of the dwarf on me as I put in the order and filled mugs for the dwarfs. I heard their laughter as they talked as Mary helped me carry the drinks to the table.
"Thanks lass." The old dwarf with a silver beard said. I smile as I set mugs down. I set one in front of the dwarf with the starfish hairdo. Our hands met and I felt like a spark. I pulled my hand back and didn't look in the dwarf's eyes as I handed out more mugs and let the dwarves know that their food would be up soon. I headed to the bar with Mary, rubbing my hand.
Nori's POV. I watched the girl head to the bar. I clenched my fist.
'What was with the spark?' I thought as I put it under the table and took a sip of my mug as I watched the girl and the other Hobbit talk as they washed the counter. Her blonde hair was in curls and her hazel eyes jumped with excitement.
"Your watching that hobbit lass, brother." Dori said, watching me.
"I'm not." I said.
"You are. She's not our kind and we aren't hear to socialize. We got a mission." Dori said. I nod, knowing he was right, but I watched her every once in awhile.
Lily's POV.
I got the food from the kitchen and took it to the dwarves. They paid for their food and drinks and left me a nice tip and left to do something.
Later that night. I said my goodbyes and headed home to my father, thinking it would be the last time I see the dwarves, but I would be wrong.
I come into Bag End and head towards the kitchen, smelling the food.
"It smells good." I said.
"Good. Your home. We can eat." Bilbo said, putting both fish on the table. I sat down and we just sit down to eat when the doorbell rang. We looked at each other. Who would be hear at this hour?
AN: Here's my third Nori story. Hope you enjoyed it. I'll update soon.
