I changed the picture for Tony, I'm now basing him off of Jeremy Sumpter when he played Peter Pan in 2003 (he was 14 then but oh well).

Thank you Flowerchild23 for being the first review and thank you to everyone who follows/favorites.

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

Lucy huffed as she struggled to put up the tent supports. Tony lay inside even as half the tent proceeded to cave in around him. Lucy would get one side up then while she worked on the other it would cave in again.

"Ya know this would go a lot quicker if you'd help me," Lucy growled. "Tony?" She got no response. "Tony!" She pulled back the flap of the tent and saw Tony laying down with ear buds in, staring up at a GameBoy. Their mother had taken away his DS that morning but he'd already packed away his GameBoy before hand. "Tony!" Lucy snatched the game away, ripping out the ear buds in the process.

"Yow!" Tony yelped, putting his hands over his ears. He glared up at her as he sat up.

"I thought mom and dad said no electronics." Lucy reminded him with a frown as she held the GameBoy up with a hand on her hip.

"Yeah, well they didn't search through my bag before we left; not my fault," Tony said crossing his arms.

"Just for once could you do what you're told?" Lucy groaned as she shook her head and put the game in her bag that was beside his. "Now come out help me, unless you actually want to sleep on the ground tonight." Tony huffed as he got up and followed Lucy out of the tent.

That night, Lucy started a small fire in the makeshift fire pit she'd made earlier with a bunch of rocks she'd found around the clearing they'd picked for the campsite. She put her lighter back in her backpack before going through it. Tony was back inside the tent, and since Lucy had his game in her bag with her, she knew he was just brooding. Lucy sighed as she sat by the fire, eating from the bag of marshmallows their father had insisted they took with them. He'd expected them to make smores together and 'patch things up'. Lucy couldn't even understand why things had gotten 'torn' in the first place. Their parent's plan wasn't exactly working out as well as they'd hoped. The two had barely spoken so far, unless bickering at each other counted as speaking.

The rest of the night went on in silence besides the crickets and crackle of the slowly dying fire. Lucy put out the fire and was about to go into the tent to go to bed when Tony came out with his backpack on.

"Where do you think you're going?" Lucy asked with a frown.

"For a walk," Tony answered as he brushed past her.

"With your bag? Tony, it's the middle of the night, it's time for bed. "

"Then go to bed," Tony countered as he continued into the woods.

"Tony. Get back here." He ignored her and kept walking. Lucy groaned and grabbed her bag. She reached around inside for her flashlight before she zipped it up, slung it over her shoulder and went after him. "Tony, come back here." Lucy looked around but somehow had already lost sight of him. "Where did you go?" she called. "He couldn't have gotten that far..." Lucy was grateful she decided to wear her boots for the trip, instead of sneakers like she originally wanted, and long jeans because every so often a branch or twig would poke or claw at her legs as she walked. She shined her flashlight around and called out Tony's name, but he wouldn't answer; she knew that already. Eventually she gave up looking for him. He'd come back to the camp eventually; she was his only way home after all and he hadn't nicked her keys from her bag. Lucy walked back the way she came.

After a few minutes she frowned; she'd only gone in one direction into the woods, she'd made no big turns, she should've gotten back to the camp by now. She wished she hadn't put out the fire so the light could have guided her. At least Smokey Bear would be proud.

No matter how far she walked she couldn't find the clearing where they'd set up camp. She couldn't find any clearing at all or even the edge of the woods. She started calling for Tony again, a little more frantically.

"Tony? Tony, this isn't funny! Tony?!"

"Oh my." Lucy let out a small surprised scream as she whirled around. The tall grey bearded man held up his hand to shield his eyes from the shine of the flashlight. Lucy lowered it quickly and took a step back. "It is alright my dear; I'm not going to harm you."

"Who the heck are you?" Lucy asked. The man blinked a few times to let his eyes get readjusted to the light before he focused on her.

"I am Gandalf the Grey," he introduced himself with a smile.

"Gandalf? What kinda name is that?" she asked bluntly, without thinking. Gandalf frowned.

"And what, pray tell, is your name?"

"Lucy Montgomery," she answered before mentally cursing at herself; she knew better to give her name to strangers, especially strangers she met in the woods.

"What kind of a name is that?" Gandalf responded with a small smirk. Lucy smiled sheepishly.

"Alright, I apologize for saying that," Lucy said. "Look, I'm a bit lost and it's already dark, so if you could just point me in the direction of the road? I can find my campsite from there."

"Lost?" Gandalf asked with a frown.

"Yeah, I was looking for my brother and-"

"You've lost your brother as well?" Gandalf asked as he raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't lose him, he walked off," Lucy snapped slightly before she took a calming breath. "I went to bring him back but he wouldn't respond when I called after him so I was going to go back to the campsite and wait for him... but I can't find it."

"Shouldn't you be looking for your brother?" Gandalf asked with a small frown.

"He'll find his way back," Lucy said with a shrug.

"But you yourself just said that you could not find the way back. What makes you so sure your brother will be able to?"

"Well... uh..." Lucy stopped and blinked before staring at the ground. She hadn't thought about that. What if Tony couldn't find his way back either? Gandalf cleared his throat which made Lucy look back at him.

"By any chance is this brother of yours wearing an oddly styled shirt with a rather... bright..." he gestured to his chest. "fabric?" Gandalf asked. Lucy frowned. Her brother had been wearing a band t-shirt with a neon logo. "And a black hat." Gandalf added.

"Blond hair? Black jacket?" Lucy asked as her eyebrows went up. Gandalf nodded.

"Yes, I believe that is correct."

"That's him. When did you see him? Where did you see him?" she asked with slightly wide eyes. Gandalf smiled.

"If you would come with me dear, I will take you to him." Lucy frowned but nodded. Going with a stranger you met out in the woods, another thing Lucy knew better than to do but he was an old man; he seemed pretty harmless. "Although I'm afraid we'll have to make a quick stop to pick up a few... friends of mine so they don't get lost as well." Lucy frowned. "It shouldn't take long," he assured her with a smile.

"Okay, just take me to my brother."

Ten Minutes Earlier

Tony walked away from the campsite, ignoring his sister calling after him. He wished he'd taken his game boy out of her bag as he went by but he was just focused on getting away from her in the moment. After a few moments he didn't hear her calling anymore and figured she went back to the tent. He continued walking through the woods until he came out onto a dirt path.

"This can't be right," Tony said as he kicked the dirt. He'd been expecting to find the road and his sister's pickup; he planned on sleeping inside it. "I'm sure I went the right way," Tony muttered as he looked up and down the road. He shook his head and decided to just start walking down the road. He swung his backpack around, grabbed his flashlight and flicked it on as he walked.

After walking for a few minutes Tony suddenly started to hear voices coming from behind him. He frowned and stopped walking as he listened.

"What's that light up ahead?" one voice asked.

"We're nearing the place right? Maybe it's just a hobbit," suggested the second.

"The light is too spread out to be a lantern."

"Multiple hobbits?" the second asked. Tony turned off his flashlight, moved back into the woods and behind a tree before he put the flashlight back into his bag. "Hey, it's gone."

"Come on." Tony peeked out from behind the tree to see two men walking up the path. One was blond with a braided mustache and another had dark hair with stubble on his chin and cheeks. Tony took a step out to get a better look at them and ended up stepping on a twig. The two men stopped and Tony grimaced as he moved back behind the tree.

"Who's there?" the dark haired one called. Tony swallowed and closed his eyes for a brief moment.

"We know you're there," the blond said. Tony let out a slow, quiet breath and closed his eyes. When he didn't hear anything for a few moments he opened them.

"Hello," the two men said as they suddenly popped into view from either side of Tony. Tony jumped and let out a surprised yelp as he spun around, tripped over his own feet and fell back onto the ground.

"It's just a boy," the dark haired one noted. Tony stared at them with wide eyes. They looked to be grown men but they also looked to be only a bit taller than him.

"What are you doing out here all by yourself, lad?" the blond asked as Tony slowly stood.

"Uh..." Tony swallowed as he looked between the two, taking in their appearance.

"Oh." The two looked at each other. "Sorry." They stood in front of him.

"Fili."

"And Kili."

"At your service," they greeted with a bow.

"Uh... Tony," Tony replied as he raised an eyebrow at the two.

"Well, Tony," Fili said. "What are you doing out here all by yourself?"

"Uh I... my sister and I-"

"Sister?" Kili asked with a smile. Fili rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Now would this be your older sister?" Kili asked. Tony frowned as Fili thumped his younger brother over the back of the head.

"You were saying?" Fili asked.

"We... we're camping out but... I left," Tony said.

"Why would you do that?" Kili asked with a frown.

"Leaving your sister all alone." Fili shook his head disapprovingly.

"Ah, who cares?" Tony said looking away with a frown as he crossed his arms. The brothers exchanged a glance.

"Well, I'm sure she'll be worried about you," Fili said with a frown.

"She gave up looking for me," Tony told them with a shrug. "Probably already went to bed." Suddenly Tony's stomach growled loudly. The two brothers chuckled.

"Hungry, lad?" Fili asked. Tony nodded.

"Come with us, we're going someplace with lots of food," Kili offered. "We can take you back to your sister after," he said with a grin. Fili rolled his eyes.

"I dunno..." Tony said but his stomach growled again. "Alright, but only cause I'm so hungry," he said. The three returned to the road and continued walking.

"Do you have food at this camp of yours?" Kili asked with a frown. "Maybe we should find your sister and bring her along," he suggested with a smile.

"She ate already," Tony said. "I was in the tent."

"Why didn't you eat with her?" Fili asked.

"I'd rather spend as little time with her as I possibly can," Tony grumbled. The two brothers exchanged frowns.

"Have a disagreement?" Fili asked. Tony shrugged.

"She's too controlling," Tony said. "She took away my game." The two brothers looked confused but didn't question him. "So where are we going anyway?"

"We don't know," Kili admitted.

"Well we do," Fili said.

"But not exactly."

"We're supposed to look for a mark on a door of a hobbit."

"A what?" Tony asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"A hobbit," Fili repeated.

"You know, short, big harry feet, live in holes in the ground," Kili described. Tony looked at them like they were crazy.

"Not everyone's seen a hobbit before, Kee," Fili reminded his brother. Kili nodded before looking at Tony.

"You'll see when we get there," he said with a smile.

"If you say so," Tony muttered.

So no actual new scenes for this chapter but I added some things, took some things out, reworded, etc. Hopefully it's better than it was before. I hope you all enjoyed and continue to enjoy reading this ^_^
