I'm back! I'm updating a little earlier then I normally would because I am having a great day! I don't have class tomorrow, talked to my advisor getting my senior year figured out, and found my senior thesis mentor. Just chillin at the Union and I thought why don't I share my good day with others. So here is my next chapter, I feel it is kinda short same as chapter four (if you call at least a 1000 words short) but chapter 5 will be really long so I think it will make up for it.

Anyway, thanks to CompletelyMisunderstood109, BlueEyedGunSlinger, EllieMarieG, HappyteddybearLOL, jepenner, sessysbaby666, tiffany. harvey. 12177, Cmusiclover92, ashley. sealy. 1 for following me I really appreciate it!

Reviews:

Guest (1): I am so happy to hear you like Mira. I know from reading myself that a lot of times OCs can be a hit or miss with people. So I hope I can keep her just as lovable throughout my story.

LazySmurf247: Hey! Yeah I haven't seen that movie yet but if you want to watch of a lot of Aiden Turner being hot with long hair check out Being Human (the British version) he plays a vampire in that show. I personally have a think for guys with curly hair(e.i Aiden Turner, my boyfriend) lol

Marina Oakenshield: Glad you think so! Hopefully it only gets better.

Giggles789: But of course! I have no intention of quitting anytime soon.

HappyteddybearLOL, DoddleBisch, Guest (2): Glad you all love it!

An Unexpected Home

-Chapter 3-

Mira eventually found herself in the atrium between the pantry and the dinning room watching Bilbo scurry around the dwarves trying to stop them as they ignored him. A rather large dwarf emerged from the pantry with all three large cheese wheels and Mira looked on astounded. They didn't intend to eat everything did they? She supposed there were quite a large number of them.

"Excuse me. A tad excessive, isn't it? Have you got a cheese knife?" Bilbo protested.

"Cheese knife? He eats it by the block." Another dwarf replied in passing. Mira burst out in laughter. These dwarves were very amusing indeed. Mira's laughter was toned down in to giggles at Bilbo's desperate glare towards her. Mira only shrugged and stepped out of the way as two dwarves walked in behind her carrying chairs.

"No, no, that's Grandpa Mungo's chair! No, I'm sorry, you'll have to take it back please. Take it back...It's antique, not for sitting on!" Bilbo pleaded.

Mira decided it was time to intercede on her cousin's behalf.

"Here I'll take that for you. There are chairs in the parlor you can use, sorry," Mira said smiling up at the dwarf she had yet to meet. Actually she didn't know who most of them were now that she thought about it.

The two young dwarves she had met earlier shortly cut her off on her way to the study, to hide Bilbo's precious chair.

"Let us help you with that," The blonde, Fili, said while taking the chair out of her arms. While the brunette, Kili, came up on her other side placing a hand on her back to guide her along, "So you know our names but you never introduced yourself."

"You're right. With all the commotion I seem to have forgotten. My apologies. Mira Took, at your service." She gave them a small curtsy while leading them into the study. Then, remembering their previous mix up she added, "I'm Bilbo's cousin."

"His cousin? But aren't you a dw-" Kili was quickly cut off by a jab to his ribs administered by his brother.

"It is a pleasure to meet you my lady," Fili cut in while giving a kiss to the back of her hand. That was the fourth one tonight. She was starting to feel very special.

"Thank you. Now I need both of your help. There are far too many dwarves in my house that I don't know the names of."Both brothers grinned at her.

"I think we could teach you them all," Fili agreed. Kili leaned in close to her ear and whispered conspiratorially, "Be warned there will be a test at the end." Mira's bright laughter filled the halls again as she led them back to the kitchen. She was sure this was the most she had laughed in months.

Mira sat on the kitchen counter with a bowl of her stew in hand while the brothers leaned on either side of her.

"Ok lets see if I have this straight," She started through bits of stew, "We have Oin and Gloin who are brothers and they are the ones setting up the table. Then there is Bifur, who only speaks dwarvish, just over there and he is cousin to Bofur and Bombur. Who are standing at the far end of the table. In the pantry are the brothers Dori, Nori, and Ori. And I should beware Nori stealing the valuables, right?" The brothers smirked as they nodded while she pointed out each dwarf respectively. "And finally, there is Balin and Dwalin who were the first to arrive. And you're Fili. And you're Kili. Did I get them all correct?" She looked at them with a hopeful smile as she impatiently waited for their response.

"Well done!" Fili praised her.

"You forgot the wizard," Kili inputted.

Mira rolled her eyes and gave him a look, "I've known Gandalf my whole life. I didn't need to learn his name. So there are 12 of you in all. Maybe I should have made more stew."

"Thirteen of us actually. That's why we had Gandalf pick a fourteenth so it wouldn't be unlucky," Fili corrected.

"Yeah. Uncle is just a little late. And it looks like it will be fifteen now brother." Kili grinned and leaned around Mira to look at his brother.

Before Mira could comment the brothers were called for by Dwalin in the dinning room to help carry something. They both extended a hand out to her and she grabbed them both to hop down from her perch.

Once they were gone Mira placed her bowl in the sink and wondered off to find her cousin.

When she found him, she noticed at some point he had changed out of his nightclothes and into something more appropriate for visitors.

However he was looking at their guests less like visitors and more like intruders.

Mira looked into the dinning room to see exactly what was causing her cousin so much distress. All twelve dwarves were sitting around the table filling their plates and having all but a full out food fight.

Bofur, the dwarf with the funny hat, tossed a dumpling across the far end of the table to his brother, "Bombur, catch!"

Bombur successfully caught it in his mouth and the room cheered.

Mira snickered, "It's just food Bilbo. We can always get more."

Just then Fili jumped up on the table with a few tankards of ale, kicking food aside as he walked down the center of the table.

"Who wants an ale? There you go."

"Its more then just the food Mira. They have taken over the house!" Bilbo exclaimed.

"I think your exaggerating there. They've only taken over the dinning room and pantry."

Bilbo groaned and Mira stepped back to avoid being splashed by the ale spitting out of Oin's ear trumpet.

Over the cheer of the dwarves Mira could hear someone counting down. On three all the dwarves began downing their ale. The room became startlingly quiet. Mira leaned over to Bilbo's ear, "Well that shut them up didn't it?" Mira gave him a small smile trying to lighten his mood. But when the first burp broke through the silence, Bilbo gave her a disgusted look. "Aw," she put her arm around his shoulders and led him away, "Lets get you some food. It will make you feel better."

"Is there even any left?" Bilbo asked bitterly. Mira only laughed at his expression. "Do you think I'd let you starve? I saved you some. What would you do without me?"

So what do ya all think? Do you like the interaction between characters? Let me know what you think and Review!

Thank you and enjoy your weekend!
