Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings that's all Peter Jackson and J.R.R. Tolkien. I do however own anything added that you don't recognize and my two OCs Lucy and Tony.

Summary: Lucy and Tony didn't want to go camping in the first place; the whole thing was their parent's idea for sister-brother bonding to help the two learn to co-exist. Even though they weren't looking forward to their 'bonding' trip, neither sibling knew that, by the end of the first night they would be lost in unfamiliar woods wishing they were with the other.

The title: "We're Believers, I Believe Tonight" Is a lyric from Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back by MCR

This is a rewrite; the original fic is still up but I've been rewriting a lot of my fics lately. Rewriting them helps me with writers block especially when I've been stuck for about 5 months with this one.

Prologue is short but future chapters are much longer.

As of 5/23/2018 I've fixed dialog grammatical errors and revised the chapter... again.

Lucy let out a huff as she paced back and forth in front of the stairs with a deep frown. She stopped and put a hand on the stair railing.

"Tony! Come on!" she shouted.

"I'm coming!" Tony shouted back, his voice muffled slightly from his door being closed.

"You said that 10 minutes ago!" Lucy shouted, slamming her hand on the railing in frustration.

"Lucy, sweetheart, you don't have to shout," their mother said from the kitchen. "Just go up stairs."

"I've been ready to go for the past half hour," Lucy said turning to her as she put her hand on her hip. "I told him to pack last night and the night before that."

"She's right, it's not like he didn't know," their father said. Lucy's mother turned to give him a look and he cleared his throat. "But your mother's right. Don't yell in the house." Lucy resisted the urge to groan and stormed up the stairs. "And no stomping!" Lucy rolled her eyes as she pounded on Tony's door. "Or pounding!"

"What?!" Tony shouted from inside.

"Would you hurry up?" Lucy asked as she opened the door.

"Hey! I never said you could come in!" Tony shouted as he looked up from his handheld game.

"You little brat! You're already packed!" Lucy shouted, as she pointed at the small bag by the door accusingly.

"Yeah so?" Tony asked with a smile. Lucy let out a sigh as she shook her head.

"Get your ass downstairs already," she said. "The sooner we go the sooner we can get home."

"Oh you swore, I'm telling mom."

"Oh shut up, you say worse when you're playing that thing," Lucy said pointing at his game console. "And no game," she told him as she pointed to the one in his hands.

"What? No way!"

"Mom said."

"Bullshit."

"Oh you swore, I'm telling mom," Lucy mockingly mimicked. Tony glared and got up.

"Mom!" he called as he went past her and down the stairs.

"Get your bag!" Lucy shouted after him.

"You're closer!" Tony shouted back. Lucy groaned and picked up the bag before closing Tony's door.

Lucy and Tony didn't even want to go camping in the first place; the whole thing was their parent's idea for a sister-brother bonding experience to help the two learn to co-exist. They weren't even that into the outdoors; they'd gone on a fishing trip once with their father when they were younger and absolutely despised it.

Tony wasn't looking forward to sharing a tent with his older sister by nine years and Lucy defiantly wasn't looking forward to listening to her twelve year-old twerp of a brother complain for the next 48 hours. It's not like Lucy even had to do it, either; she was almost 21 but since she was still living under her parent's roof she decided to respect their wishes and take the weekend off for the trip. So after a downhill battle against their parents, Tony was pouting in the passenger's seat of his sister's truck, with his bag all packed in the back.

The age gap between the two was never really a problem for them, even when Lucy turned 14 and entered high school while Tony was five and still in grade school. The two remained close until around when Lucy turned 18 and legally became an adult. She learned to drive, got a job and was almost never home. Now Tony picked fights with her at least four times a week resulting in yelling, name-calling and other childish things.

During this camping trip the two had to share a tent and they weren't allowed any technology besides a single flip phone their father gave them in case of emergencies and to check in at the end of each night. They were to arrive Friday afternoon and be back by Monday night.

The whole ride out was silent as Tony sat, brooding as he stared out the window with his arms crossed tightly. Every so often Lucy would glance over at him to see him glaring out the window. She rolled her eyes when he 'hmph'ed for the fourth time within the last half hour. Lucy sighed and shook her head slightly.

Even though they weren't looking forward to their 'bonding' trip, neither sibling knew that, by the end of the first night they would be lost in unfamiliar woods wishing they were with the other.

So that's the prologue for the rewrite. If you read the original, I hope you enjoyed the addition of the first scene, hopefully that added a bit to getting to know Lucy and Tony's relationship/interactions.

This is not just a romance story by the way, there's a whole thing with Lucy and Tony's brother/Sister relationship(and I shouldn't have to clarify but of course by that I mean a sibling relationship not incest.)
