Thank you for the reviews, follows and favorites! I never get tired of them!

And as everyone already knows, I don't own the Hobbit. I only own Lily, Mike and those other characters like Morton. :)

Wow, this is a quick update!

Enjoy!

Chapter 13

I felt awful. We have been riding for a while now and my butt was already hurting. A lot. Never mind that Mike and Bofur were riding beside me and Dwalin. Mike kept sending me glares all the time. I tried to look away but in the end, I just showed him my middle finger.

"Let's take a break and eat here." Thorin called from the front. Finally...

Dwalin and everyone else stopped and got down from their ponies. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Mike just jump down. He's lucky that he's tall...

"Lassie?" startled I looked down, seeing Dwalin holding his arms towards me. Oh, he's offering to help...

I gladly take the offer and he puts his arms at my sides and lowers me down.

"Thanks." I smile at him. He just nods with a blank face and walks to the others. I'm left standing there, looking like an idiot.

"So, mind telling me what the hell is going on?" comes a voice next to me. I turn to look at Mike. I guess I should tell him...

I move a little farther away from the others so they can't hear. He follows.

"We're in Middle-Earth." I say seriously.

"Middle-Earth?" he's clearly confused.

"Yes, Middle-Earth."

"Like in the Lord of the Rings?"

"Yes, but we're in the Hobbit. Have you watched or heard of it?"

"No, I haven't watched neither of them but I do have heard something of them from my friends."

"So you don't know who like, Gandalf is?"

"That name is kinda familiar..."

I point at Gandalf, "He's Gandalf the Grey."

"Oh, okay. Wait a second..."

"What?"

"Are we just having a decent conversation?" we look at each other with wide eyes.

"No, you Shitlord!" I yell.

"Slut!" he shouts just as loud.

"Dickhead!"

"Bimbo!"

"Bastard!"

"Whore!"

"Banana!"

"Banana?"

"Banana!"

"ENOUGH!" Gandalf shouts, coming our way. "What did I tell you earlier?!"

Neither of us won't answer. We just glare at each other and walk back to the others. Gandalf follows huffing,

"You behave like little children!"

"Well, he's older than me by three months!" I state, pointing at him angrily.

"You're fucking kidding me, Lily! We're both seventeen!"

Some of the company heard this and froze.

"Seventeen?!" Nori asks horrified. Actually, they all seem to now be horrified except for Gandalf. Even Bilbo seems confused.

I look at Mike, he looks at me, and we shrug. "Yeah. Problem?" Mike says.

"Gandalf!" Thorin is on fire again (not literally), "You brought children to our quest?!"

"Children?! We're young adults!" I tell them.

"Thorin, have you forgotten that humans age differently?" at this they all seem confused. Then realization hits them. At least some of them.

"Oh. But still Gandalf-" Thorin starts but gets interrupted by Gandalf,

"Yes, they are young but even the youngest can do something unexpected." instead of answering, Thorin narrows his eyes and then turns to Bombur (the cook),

"Bombur, is the stew ready?"

"Lily!" Mike yells and walks up to me. We're just about to continue our journey after we ate.

"What do you want?" I say grumpily.

"Where's the bathroom?"

I raise my eyebrows at him, "You're not serious?!"

"Yes, I am." he argues.

"Well, Einstein, there is no bathroom in here!"

"Then where do I- wait. You mean I have to... you know."

"Yes. I know. I don't like it either but there is no choice. And hey! You're a dude! It's not nearly as bad for you as it is for me, princess."

"Hmph. Whatever." then he stomps off. I sigh.

"Lassie. Are you coming?" Dwalin shouts to me. I frown. What? I still have to ride with him? I thought we would change or something...

"Oh, yeah." I answer. He helps me to get on his pony again. I thank him.

"Dwalin?" Thorin yells and Dwalin makes his way over to him. I stare at them talking about something like a stalker until Mike comes back. Bofur is not yet back but he still gets on their pony like a pro, smirking at me. Asshole...

"Hey, Lily? Wanna lift the mood a little and do it?" he asks grinning. I look at him suspiciously.

"It?"

"Yes, it. Let's do it!"

"Do you have any idea how dirty that sounds?"

"Uhh... Don't you get it? That thing we have done many times!" he then points at his pony. I still don't understand what the bastard wants to do.

"Lily. Look at my pony. It's amazing." he gives me a pointed look. Then I get it.

"Ohhh... why didn't you just say so? My answer is no."

"What?! Why not?"

"Because I don't want to embarrass myself in front of them." I say as a matter of factly.

"Oh, I get it. You don't have the guts."

"What?"

"You're afraid. I understand. Not everyone was born brave like me." he smirks at me.

"Like you?!"

"Yeah! You're a chicken!"

"I don't want to hear that from you! Bring it on!"

Then he starts to sing loudly,

"Look at my pony,

my pony is amazing.

Give it a lick!"

Silence.

Everyone stares at Mike like he's insane. I snicker. Mike looks at me angrily and betrayed. He thought I was going to sing my part but I didn't, so now he looks like a fool all by himself.

"Let's get going." Thorin says after a moment of silence and everyone agrees. I'm still grinning like a little kid in a candy store.

Lily: 1

Mike: 0
