The elves were quite hospitable to me. Of course they'd never seen a hobbit before and the maidens were nice enough.

"You're so tiny, miss Baggins. I do not know if we'll have any clothes that will fit you." One giggled with a voice like bells.

"Oh I'm sure that will be fine I can wear my dirty clothes. It's quite alright. And please call me Bella" I replied as they brushed and braided my hair. I had already been bathed in a pool that was absolutely beautiful.

"I found something Avalon! It's small enough that it'll fit!" She brought forth a beautiful long red dress that was small and short enough that it would fit me.

"Good alright Bella what do you think?" Avalon asked.

"I think it's beautiful."

"I think that the dwarf king would be amazed at how you look in it."

"Who? Thorin no he wouldn't notice." I said blushing slightly.

"He's noticed Bella, you saw the way he looked at you when we whisked you away." Avalon said and I blushed again as they laced me into the dress and I was walked down to where we were dining. I kept my sword with me. It seemed that most of them were already eating.

"Ah Bella. It's good to see you." Gandalf said and I smiled curtsying to lord Elrond.

"I'm sorry that I'm late my lord." I replied.

"It is no problem miss baggins. Come sit with us." Lord Elrond said and I was seated next to Thorin. He was examining the swords we found in the troll hoard.

"This is orcist one of the finest swords made by man and this is Glamdring. Where did you get these?" Elrond asked.

"In a troll hoard on the great east road." Gandalf said.

"And what were you doing on the great east road?"

"Excuse me." He said and walked off.

"And you mistress Baggins did you find anything in the trollhoard?" Elrond asked.

"I uh, Gandalf found this and gave it to me." I replied and gave him my sword. But before Elrond could say anything I heard the dwarves complaining about the music.

"Change the tune why don't you? I feel like I'm at a funeral." Nori groaned and Bofur was getting up.

"Well lads there's only one thing for it." Bofur stood on a platform in the middle of our dining area. I smiled. He was going to sing and even though I didn't quite like interrupting such a nice meal I ran with it. "Miss Bilbo, would you join me?" He asked and I smiled.

"Thank you Bofur." I said and we took each other's hands.

"There's an inn,

There's an inn

There's a merry old inn

Beneath an old grey hill." We began to sing and I saw Thorin starting to go along with it but glaring at Bofur as we danced.

"And there they brew a beer so brown

That the Man in the Moon himself came down

One night to drink his fill." Bofur sang and I walked over to Thorin.

"Dance with me?" I asked sweetly and he smiled and I smiled back. I sang again with Bofur.

"The ostler has a tipsy cat

that plays a five-stringed fiddle;

And up and down he runs his bow,

Now squeaking high, now purring low,

Now sawing in the middle.

So the cat on his fiddle played hey-diddle-diddle,

a jig that would wake the dead:

He squeaked and sawed and quickened the tune,

While the landlord shook the Man in the Moon:

'It's after three!' he said." We were dancing so fast that I lost my footing and tripped falling on top of Thorin.

"Oh my I'm so sorry." I said picking myself back up.

"It's okay mistress Burglar." He replied and kissed my hand. I blushed before sitting back down to finish my food. Rivendell was beautiful but if I knew it Thorin would have us out of here by daybreak. But tonight I slept soundly. I walked around and then sat on a balcony.

"Miss Baggins I did not expect a hobbit like you to get involved with dwarves. "He said and I smirked.

"I like them, and I've been told not to trust elves, that they're disloyal and will trick me."I replied and he just looked at me.

"Well if you ever feel unwelcome with them you're always welcome back and join us."

"I'll keep that in mind, your maidens were quite mystified at the idea of me." This made the elven lord laugh and I walked back off. We learned about the moon runes and then I slept. The night was calm and we were safe. I smiled and slept. When I woke up They were packing and my old clothes were next to me. I changed under over away from the dwarves and then we began our great hike up the misty mountains. We were in the wilderlands.
