Title: Trolls Part 2

Second update of the day! Don't get used to it; it was a freak occurance So this one's not really Fili/Kili centric, but as I said, it's my favorite scene in the movie. Deal with it :) Gratias (that's Latin for "thank you," to match the Latin title of this story) to Autumn, Nalbal, and alexiroseni for reviewing. You guys make me a very, very happy fanfic author.


Soon enough some of the dwarves were on a spit over the trolls' fire, and the rest—including the hobbit, who, frankly, got them all into this mess—were tied up in bags and lying on the ground.

As the trolls debated how to best prepare the group, the hobbit hopped to his feet—a remarkable feat, considering how he was in a burlap sack. "Wait!" he cried. "You are making a terrible mistake."

The trolls stopped in confusion. The hobbit proceeded to try and make things better, but in doing so made them worse.

Finally, one of the trolls scooped up Bombur in exasperation and prepared to eat him raw.

Desperately, Bilbo shouted, "I wouldn't do that if I were you. He's infected. He's got…worms…in his, uh, tubes. In fact, they all do. Terrible business. I wouldn't risk it if I were you."

"We don't have parasites," Kili shouted furiously. "You have parasites!"

Bilbo stood still, at a lost for what to do.

Suddenly, Thorin's boot connected quite violently with his youngest nephew's head, sending shock waves through the whole pile of dwarves. And that's when they got it.

"I have parasites as big as my arm!" one of them shouted.

"Mine are bigger!" Kili countered. "I have huge parasites."

The dwarves dissolved into bickering about who had the largest parasites. The trolls tired of this quickly, and decided to risk it.

But before they got the chance, Gandalf came back. He announced in a booming voice the coming of the dawn, and split the rock sheltering the trolls from the light.

As the trolls turned to stone, the dwarves freed themselves and prepared themselves for the next step on their perilous journey.
