AN: Here's the next chapter! And a little of humorous Thorin as well!
AN: Fili is 59 (14) and Kili is 54 (13).
Dis grabbed the bucket of dirty water she has just used to wash the dishes and walks over to the front door. Unbeknownst to her, her youngest son, Kili, is on the other side intent on walking into the house. Dis opens the door and moves to walk out but almost runs into Kili.
"For Durin's sake," Dis exclaims, catching her breath and closing her eyes. She opens her eyes to see Kili grinning at her, knowing he had scared her. "Kili, what are you doing?"
"I was coming inside to our swords. Fili and I were going to practice out in the yard," Kili says, his eyes shining in amusement. Dis nods her heads and moves to the side to let her son through. Kili walks over to their chest, hearing his mother walk out of the house. He opens the chest and grabs his and Fili's swords, shutting the chest afterwards. Kili walks out to where his brother is with a grin on his face. Fili looks over at him and notices the grin on his brothers' face and narrows his eyes.
"What?" Fili asks, cautiously taking his sword from his younger brother, wondering what he did with it. Kili explains what had happened with their mother and Fili grins. "It takes a lot to startle mother…"
"It does," Kili replies with a grin. They get into their stances and just as Fili is about to strike, Kili stands up straight and drops his sword. Fili halts and stands up straight, dropping his sword as well, and gives his brother a curious look. Kili looks at Fili with a mischievous smirk on his face. "I wonder how many times I could do it?"
"Do what?" Fili asks, furrowing his eyebrows. "Startle mother?"
Kili nods his head, a twinkle in his eye. Fili chuckles and shakes his head.
"You mean before she punishes you?" he asks, a smirk appearing on his own face. Kili's smirk grows. "I bet I could do it more?"
"I doubt that," Kili argues, shaking his head.
"You're on," Fili says, walking towards the house with his sword. Kili looks after his older brother, chuckling to himself. You got that right brother.

Dis brings the pie she has just finished baking over to the open window. Thorin would be arriving back home soon and she wanted to surprise him with it. She sets the pie on the windowsill but before she can move away, Fili suddenly appears in the window.
"Hello mother," Fili says loudly, trying to hide the smirk on his face.
"Oh my Mahal!" Dis shouts, jumping back, not expecting her eldest son to abruptly appear in front of her. She looks at her son and glares at him. "Fili, what are you doing?"
"I just wanted to say hello, mother," Fili says, a small smirk playing at his lips. Dis narrows her eyes at him and huffs, not missing the smirk, and turns around, only to jump back again when Kili is directly in front of her with a big grin.
"Don't you two have anything better to do besides be underfoot," Dis scolds, shaking her head and heading back to the stove. Kili and Fili share twin looks and stifle their laughter. Fili disappears before appearing in the front door. The two Durin brothers put away their swords in the chest and move back to their bedroom.

Dis finishes making her bed, folding the sheet over the blanket, smoothing it flat. She stands up and turns around, jumping back and letting out a yelp to see Kili standing behind her with a grin. Dis grabs her chest and gets her breath back.
"Kili…what…" Dis starts but is unable to voice her question. Kili's smile grows slightly before he begins talking.
"Do you need any help mother?" Kili asks, making sure to keep his gaze on his mother. Dis sighs.
"No Kili. I do not. Why don't you and your brother go take care of the ponies," Dis says, shaking her head and walking past her youngest son. She didn't know what is going on with her sons but she doesn't know how many more times she can handle them randomly appearing everywhere. Kili stifles a chuckle and walks back outside.

Dis walks outside, looking around for her sons; they had been looking after the ponies for some time now and it is taking longer than normal. She assumed they were done and then started playing a game of some sorts outside. She doesn't see them anywhere in the front yard so she begins walking to the back pasture. As she rounds the corner, she jumps, letting out an exclamation when she almost runs into Fili leaning up against the wall of the house.
"Fili!" she shouts and she sees Fili trying not to laugh. Dis narrows her eyes at him. "What are you two up to?"
"Nothing," Fili answers, looking completely innocent which in turn raises red flags in Dis' head. Dis huffs and looks behind Fili, not seeing any sign of her youngest son.
"Where is your brother?" Dis asks, glancing back at Fili, an eyebrow raised.
"Finishing up with the ponies," Fili answers nonchalantly, nodding his head behind him. Dis gives her eldest one final look before walking past him and towards the ponies. Fili smirks and turns to watch his mother head towards his brother. Dis walks over to the stable and opens the door, walking inside. She looks around, but doesn't see Kili anywhere.
"Kili?" Dis calls for her youngest, keeping an eye out for him. "Kili?"
When her son doesn't answer, Dis sighs and turns around, expecting Kili to be there as he's been all day. She sighs again when he isn't, glad for once she is not being startled by her sons. She walks out of the stable and turns to close the door, letting out a squeak and jolting back.
"Kili!" Kili smirks, stifling a laugh himself. Dis glares at him. "What are you two doing?"
"Whatever are you talking about mother?" Kili asks with an innocent look on her face. Dis scowls. If there is anything worse than an innocent look on Fili's face, it's an innocent look on Kili's. It usually means there are doing anything but being innocent.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you two were making it a game to startle me today," Dis says, shaking her head and turning around, jumping back when Fili is right behind her. Dis grumbles and begins walking past them, stopping suddenly when realization finally hits her. That was it. This was a game to them; just another one of their pranks. Dis sighs, but doesn't turn around to face her sons; instead heading back inside the house.
Fili and Kili glance over at each other with twin smirk on their faces before breaking out into laughter. They should do this more often. The two Durins quickly make their way to the front of the house, so encompassed by their humor they miss the pony in the yard, and round the corner.
"Fili! Kili!" Fili and Kili jolt backwards, their eyes wide, tripping over a log behind them and falling to the ground. They look up and see their uncle standing over them with a wide grin on his face. Before they are able to do or say anything, Thorin erupts into laughter, pure humor on his face. Fili glares at his uncle and Kili groans, purposely falling backwards so he is lying on the ground. Thorin shakes his head and turns around, his laughter still heard even after he has entered the house.
AN: I actually got this idea from my own sibling pranks. My sister is very jumpy and so I always hide behind corner or stand in front of a closed door so when she opens it, my face is right there. She jumps a mile into the air and all I do is laugh. I thought this would be something the boys would do. Anyways, please review and give me some feedback! Thanks for reading!
