Chapter 5
We're Back!

The group proceeded through the portal. It was night and they were on the same road they had been on earlier.
"According to my calculations, Bilbo and the dwarves should be that way." Horse pointed off to their left.
"Okay, then. We should probably hurry up before they get eaten." Turtle started off. The others hesitated. "Come on. I've got a deadline here!"
"That's true." Monkey had given her the deadline when Turtle had asked her what she wanted for her birthday. They trudged down the mountainside towards where Horse had pointed.

FIVE MINUTES LATER

"Are you sure it's this way?" Monkey asked.
"Positive," Horse replied. "Why?"
"Because that's the third time we've passed that tree."
"Hush, y'all." Turtle led them through some bushes to their right towards a fire and some very peculiar boulders. The boulders began to move.
"I think we found them," Horse said quietly.
"I think you're right," Turtle said to her. Then she spoke loudly to the trolls that had been mistaken for moving boulders. "Well, hi there!" A lime green bubble formed around the girls, creatures, and FOO!. Monkey added some red fire to it. Horse added some dark green, and Paprika added some light blue. Penguin and Raitlin teleported out of the bubble to stand behind the trolls. They placed some marbles beneath the trolls' feet. At the sight of their disappearance, the trolls stepped back. The second they did Penguin and Raitlin teleported back into the bubble. The trolls tripped on the marbles and blacked out. "Bye then."
"That was convenient." Monkey stated the obvious as usual. The bubble disappeared as the girls took back their magic. FOO! made a flash of sunlight, causing the trolls to turn into stone.
"Whoa!" yelled Devil Girl with happiness.
Turtle grinned. Magic was fun. "Let's go untie the little critters."

AN HOUR LATER

The dwarves were untied from where the trolls had tied them up in a cave. After they finished puking, they estimated the cost of some weapons they found there.
"We're going to need a bus to get all of us out of here," complained Monkey.
"That's an idea," said Turtle "I request two weapons of my choice to provide transportation."
Thorin looked furious for a moment, but finally said yes.
