Thank you everyone who reviews, follows and favorites.

Bleeding Blue Kunoichi: Thank you. Uh I think I mention it in the prologue but if not I say in this chapter, but Tony's 12 and Lucy is 20 but about a month from 21.

Lucy followed Gandalf through the woods until they came upon a camp. When Lucy first saw the fire she thought they'd found her campsite – having forgotten she had put the fire out – but when she saw the lack of a tent and eight short men, she stopped. She was just a few inches taller than most of the men but she found it odd that they didn't just look short they were smaller and they all had a large amount of facial hair.

"Gandalf," one of the men said with a smile when they saw him. He had grey hair and a grey beard that was braided and tied in the front with a long band as well as another tied up in the back.

"Who's this?" one with an odd hat asked when he saw Lucy.

"This is Lucy Montgomery," Gandalf introduced as he gestured to her. She raised a hand in an awkward wave.

"Hi..." she said.

"Mount what?" the one with something like a horn in his ear asked.

"Montgomery," Gandalf repeated. "Miss Montgomery, these are dwarves."

"Excuse me?" she asked as she turned to look up at him. "They're what?"

"Dwarves," Gandalf said with a small smile.

"But..." Lucy shook her head. She looked back up at Gandalf. "You're kidding right?" she asked in a hushed tone.

"You'll find that I am not, Miss Montgomery," Gandalf responded in a similar tone with an amused smile. "Come now, introduce yourselves," Gandalf told the dwarves. The dwarf with the hat stepped forward.

"I'm Bofur and that's Bombur." Bofur said pointing to the rather large dwarf with red hair next to him who smiled. A dwarf with part of an axe in his head stepped forward next to Bombur and started speaking in a foreign language.

"W-What did he say?" Lucy asked as she took a step back; he was rather intimidating. Bofur waved his hand.

"Don't mind him, lass, that's Bifur." he explained. A ginger dwarf with a large beard and the one with the horn to his ear stepped forward.

"Gloin,"

"Oin," the one with a horn in his ear said. The dwarf who recognized Gandalf stepped forward along with a timid looking dwarf and the last one with pointy red hair.

"Dori."

"Ori."

"And Nori." Then all of them bowed.

"At your service," they all said in unison, making Lucy jump slightly. She blinked a few times as they stood up straight and Gandalf chuckled.

"Um, it's nice to meet you all," Lucy said.

"It's very nice to meet you too," Ori said with a smile. Lucy found herself smiling back before she looked at Gandalf. "You said quick stop."

"That I did," Gandalf said with a nod. He looked back at the dwarves and saw they'd all packed up their things and were ready to go. He looked back at Lucy with a smile. "I think we should get going."

"You'll take me to my brother now?" Lucy asked. Gandalf gave her a nod. "Finally."

"Where the heck are we?" Tony asked as he looked around. There looked to be houses in hills. They each had round doors, too small for the average sized person to fit through comfortably, and small gardens in the front, sides and often the back.

"Hobbiton," Kili said. "Very quaint little place, isn't it?" he noted with a grin.

"Now, he said to look for a mark on a door," Fili mused as he looked at the door of one of the 'houses' they passed.

"Right," Kili agreed as he started to look as well. After a moment he turned to his brother. "What does the mark look like?" he asked. Fili shrugged.

"He didn't say."

"Shouldn't whoever invited you have told you where he lived before?" Tony asked them as he too looked for a mark on a door.

"Oh, we've never met the hobbit who owns the house," Fili admitted.

"Gandalf told us where to go," Kili explained.

"What is up with the names around here?" Tony muttered to himself.

"Ah! Here it is," Fili said, pointing to a large green door. Tony looked at the door and noticed a small mark carved into the door that glowed in the moonlight. The three went up to the door and Fili rang the bell. A moment later someone opened it, Tony couldn't see since he was stood behind the brothers.

"Fili."

"And Kili."

"At your service," they said, bowing like they had to Tony. When they bowed Tony got a glimpse at the small man who had opened the door.

"You must be Mr. Boggins!" Kili exclaimed with a grin.

"Nope! You can't come in; you've come to the wrong house!" The man protested before attempting to close the door. Kili stopped it with a hand.

"What?" he asked as he pushed the door back open with no effort. "Has it been canceled?"

"No one told us," Fili said looking from his brother to the man with a frown.

"Can-? No- nothing's been canceled," the man stammered.

"That's a relief," Kili said as he and Fili pushed their way in. The man watched them walk passed him then looked back to see Tony.

"Uh, hi," Tony said, raising a hand awkwardly.

"Well, at least you're not a dwarf."

"A what?" Tony asked with a frown. "I'm not that short," he muttered. The man frowned slightly, looking even more confused than he already was, if possible. "Uh, so you're a... a hobbit?"

"Uh, yes. Bilbo Baggins," he introduced himself with a nod as he stood up straight.

"Tony Montgomery," Tony said. Bilbo motioned for Tony to come inside so he could close the door. Tony stepped inside, looking around and the small furnishings in the hall. "I have a feeling you weren't expecting those two." Bilbo closed the door and quickly followed after the brother's who'd gone further into the house, Tony followed behind him.

"Or the other two," Bilbo said.

"Other two?" Tony tilted his head. Bilbo turned to him to explain when Fili came up to him.

"Careful with these," Fili said as he took out a few sheathed blades and put them in Bilbo's arms. "I just had'em sharpened." He took out more from inside his coat then one from each boot. Tony stared as more and more blades joined the pile in Bilbo's arms.

"It's nice, this place; did you do it yourself?" Kili asked before scraping the mud off his boots on a nearby chest.

"Well- ah- no- It's been in the family for years," Bilbo said before turning to look at him. "That's my mother's glory box, could you please not do that?!"

"Fili, Kili, C'mon, give us a hand," another dwarf said as he came in from another room and put an arm around Kili. Tony stared with wide eyes.

"Mister Dwalin," Kili said with a smile. Tony followed Fili, who followed the two, to the dining room.

"Let's shove this in the hallway, otherwise we'll never get everyone to fit," Another, white haired, dwarf noted as he gestured to a china cabinet.

"Lift it," Dwalin said as he walked around the dining table.

"Where do you want this?" Kili asked.

"Ev-Everyone? How many more are there?" Bilbo asked as the dwarfs started to shift the furniture. Suddenly the door bell rang and Bilbo left to get it. One of the other dwarves took notice of Tony and frowned. Tony blinked at him, taking note of the tattoos on his head.

"Oh, Dwalin, Balin, this is Tony," Fili said.

"Hiya," Tony said. The two older dwarves still looked confused.

"Found him on the road," Kili said. "He's hungry so we brought him along."

"Well, there's plenty of food to go around," Dwalin said. "Though it looks like it won't take much," he added with a smirk.

"Hey, I may look small but I can eat three servings for supper." The dwarves laughed which made Tony frown until Fili patted him on the back.

A few minutes earlier

"Where are we?" Lucy asked looking around at the small village they had entered. There were round doors in hills with little front yards but they all looked too small for people to live in.

"This is the Shire," Bofur said.

"Yeah, saying that doesn't really help," Lucy said.

"We're in Hobbiton," Dori said.

"Still doesn't help," Lucy said, shaking her head.

"I will explain later," Gandalf told her. "Right now, we're expected," he said leading the dwarves up a hill to a home with a large green door. There was a mark on it that only glowed in the moonlight. The dwarves went up to the door and Bofur rang the bell before the rest of the dwarves started to push forward. Lucy heard someone shouting from inside before they opened the door. All of the dwarves fell forward with Bombur on top. Lucy grimaced as they all groaned. Gandalf ducked his head to smile at Bilbo who was frowning. Lucy looked and her eyes widened. He was even smaller than the dwarves.

"Gandalf," he said with a sigh.

"This, Miss Montgomery, is a hobbit," Gandalf said to her. Lucy nodded but her jaw was still hanging open. The dwarves introduced themselves to Bilbo as the ones before them had, once they were done Gandalf looked at Bilbo to introduce himself to Lucy as the Dwarves walked past him.

"Oh, Bilbo Baggins," he said with a quick nod, straightening up politely.

"Lucy Montgomery." Bilbo blinked with a thoughtful look. As the two entered Lucy could see there were even more dwarves inside. There was an older one with a bright white beard, a bald buff one, and two younger looking ones. The first two introduced themselves quickly as Balin and Dwalin as the others all went into the Bilbo's pantry and brought out pretty much all of the food as he tried in vain to stop them.

Gandalf went into the dining room and helped set the table, putting down cutlery as Ori put out the plates, rubbing them with his sleeve before putting each one down. The other two dwarves Lucy had yet to meet were figuring out the best way to pick up a large barrel of ale to carry into the dining room. The dark haired one noticed her standing in the hall, out of the way, watching the commotion and gave her a smile but quickly had to focus his attention back to the barrel of ale when his brother started to lift it. Lucy approached Gandalf as he ducked into the hall she was at the edge of. He bumped into the chandelier and steadied it.

"Fili, Kili," he said as the two walked past him with the ale, they smiled at him as they walked into the dining room. Gandalf looked around to count all the dwarves on his fingers. "Oin, Gloin, Dwalin, Balin... Bifur, Bofur, Bomber... Dori, Nori..." He looked down to see Bilbo taking a bowl from Ori. "Ori." Lucy moved out of the way of Bifur who walked up to him and said something before hitting his own arm then walking away. "Yes, you're quite right, Bifur."

"You understood that?" Lucy asked quietly. She turned to see Kili, who'd gone into the pantry, walking back to the dining room with a plate of food. He ripped a big bite out of something and stopped when noticed her standing there. He smiled at her.

"Um." Lucy tried to hide her smile as she pointed to the corner of her own mouth. Kili's eyebrows went up and he quickly put the back of his hand to his mouth to wipe away any crumbs.

"Kili! Bring that in here," a dwarf called from in the dining room. Lucy took a step to the side to get out of his way and gave him a small smile. He winked at her as he walked past her. Lucy turned to Gandalf who drank a tiny cup of wine Dori had offered him, and then looked sadly at the cup, wanting a little more. "Mm." Lucy cleared her throat and he turned to her.

"Where is my brother?" she asked. Gandalf nodded towards the dining room and Lucy saw Tony sitting down at the table as the dwarves put food down. He'd been in the bathroom and went through another way to get to the dining room. Lucy quickly walked into the dining room and took Tony by his upper arm.

"Hey-! Lucy?" He looked confused as she pulled him away from the table and into an empty hallway. Some of the dwarves looked confused while others didn't pay much attention to them.

"Tony, what are you doing here?" Lucy asked.

"What are you doing here?" Tony countered yanking his arm free from her grip.

"Oh no, you were here first; you answer the questions," Lucy demanded as she put her hands on her hips.

"I came here with two of the dwarves; they found me in the woods. How did you get here?"

"Wait you just went with them? What did I tell you about stranger danger?"

"Well then how did you get here?" Tony asked as he crossed his arms.

"Gandalf-..." Lucy stopped when she saw the smirk on Tony's face. "He said he knew where you were. You knew where I was... or should have been," Lucy said.

"Oh come on it's Fili and Kili," Tony said as if he'd known the two his entire life.

"Who- Fili and Kili?" Lucy asked as her eyebrows came together in confusion. Suddenly the two dwarves were on either side of Lucy making her jump with a small squeak. They moved to stand in front of her.

"Fili."

"And Kili." They bowed.

"At your service," they said as they smiled at her. Lucy blinked. Fili held out his hand and she hesitantly took it. He lifted her hand to his lips.

"So you're the lad's sister?" Fili asked with a smile as he released her hand.

"He never mentioned how pretty you were," Kili flirted. Lucy let out an airy laugh as she felt her face flush slightly.

"Nice to meet you two, I'm Lucy, but if you boys don't mind I'd like to have a word with my brother in private." The two nodded.

"Of course," they said. The three looked back to where Tony had been standing to find him gone.

"Wha-? Tony?" Lucy started when she saw Tony in dining room. "To-!" Fili put his hand on her shoulder.

"Let the boy have his fun," Fili said.

"Come join us," Kili added with a smile.

"That's okay. I've already eaten," Lucy said. "But thank you for the offer." The two brothers nodded and went into the dining room. Soon all the dwarves were having a grand feast with all Bilbo's food. They were rather rude and messy about it.

"Bombur, catch!" Bofur shouted before throwing food. Bombur caught it in his mouth and threw his hands up in victory as everyone cheered. As everyone began throwing food around, Bilbo walked away in disgust. He looked at his pantry in shock; it had been entirely cleared of food. Lucy noticed the distressed look on Bilbo's face as he looked in his pantry and felt sorry for the hobbit.

"Don't worry; I'll help you clean up," she offered as she came to stand next to him. He looked up at her and sighed.

"You might as well help yourself to some food, before it's all gone," Bilbo said, sounding a bit dejected. Lucy frowned. Fili walked on top of the table, carrying several cups of ale and knocking aside the food in his way.

"Who wants an ale? There you go."

"Over here brother!" Kili called.

"Here you go," Fili said. When Tony picked up a mug of ale Lucy was quickly behind him and taking it from him; not a moment later another dwarf took it from her. Tony glared at his sister but she gave him a stern look.

"Let me have another drink!" Oin called.

"Here ya go," Dwalin said before he poured his ale into Oin's hearing trumpet. As Oin spluttered in anger, everyone else laughed. Oin put his hearing trumpet to his mouth and blew the ale out of it, making it squeal. One of the dwarves yelled, 'On the count of three!' and the dwarves pounded their tankards together. Someone counted, 'One!...Two!' Then all the dwarves went quiet and began drinking their ale together. They were incredibly messy, and ale poured all over their faces and ran down their beards. When they finished drinking, they began burping; Ori letting out the biggest burp. The dwarves all laughed.

"I knew ya had it in ya!" Nori shouted. Lucy looked away in disgust.

...

When the feast finished, some of the dwarves left the table and spread out. Some were in the kitchen while others remained in the dining room. Lucy was out in the hallway by the kitchen. Kili, pipe in hand, noticed she was in neither room and went into the hall. He found her facing away, her arms around herself.

"It's lonely over here by yourself, isn't it?" he asked. Lucy turned and he gave her a smile. She forced a small one back.

"No offense, you're all just a lot livelier than the people I'm used to," she explained. Kili chuckled.

"I think the people you're used to aren't lively enough then," he countered. Lucy managed a smile.

"He's enjoying himself though," Lucy said as she looked to Tony, sitting at the table with a big grin as he listened to a story. "his friends went away for the summer, he hasn't had anyone to really have fun with."

"What about you?" Kili asked. "You're his sister, after all."

"We're... not as close as we once were," Lucy said as she lowered her head to stare at the ground. Kili frowned. He was about to say something when Bilbo and Gandalf came out into the hall.

"I don't want to get used to them. The state of my kitchen!" Bilbo exclaimed. "There's mud trod into the carpet, they've pi-pillaged the pantry. I'm not even going to tell you what they've done in the bathroom; they've all but destroyed the plumbing. I don't understand what they're doing in my house!"

"Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt, but what should I do with my plate?" Ori asked.

"Here you go, Ori, give it to me," Fili said. He took the plate from Ori and threw it past Lucy, who jumped with a gasp, to Kili. Kili then threw it behind his back into the kitchen before throwing another. Bifur, who was standing at the sink in the kitchen - he was already cleaning up, caught both plates behind his back, without even looking them.

"Excuse me, that's my mother's West Farthing crockery, it's over a hundred years old!" Bilbo shouted. The other dwarves began throwing the plates, bowls, and utensils to each other, eventually throwing them to the sink to be washed by Bifur. As dishes flew through the air, Gandalf and Lucy ducked to avoid getting hit while Tony watched with a huge grin from the table. Lucy took a few steps backwards; Fili slipped an arm around her waist and moved her out of the way as he tossed another plate to Kili.

"Careful, luv," he said with a smirk and a wink before bouncing a bowl on his elbows then throwing it to Kili. The dwarves at the tablet began rhythmically drumming on the tablet with utensils and their fists as well as stomping their feet.

"And can-can you not do that? You'll blunt them!" Bilbo shouted. Fili threw a plate under his leg before glancing at Lucy to see her impressed expression.

"Ooh, d'hear that, lads? He says we'll blunt the knives," Bofur said. Kili began singing then his brother and soon the rest of the dwarves joined in as they continue throwing and bouncing the dishes.

"Blunt the knives, bend the forks

Smash the bottles and burn the corks

Chip the glasses and crack the plates

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!

Cut the cloth and tread on the fat

Leave the bones on the bedroom mat

Pour the milk on the pantry floor

Splash the wine on every door

Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl

Pound them up with a thumping pole

When you've finished, if any are whole

Send them down the hall to roll!"

Bofur started playing a flute while Oin blew into a tea pot as the rest of the dwarves continued throwing dishware.

"That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!" they shouted before laughing. Bilbo huffed up in anger, and pushed through the crowd at the table, only to find all the dishes stacked neatly and cleanly. Gandalf chuckled.

"Oh look at his face-!" Kili laughed as he pointed at Bilbo. Suddenly, there were three heavy knocks on the door, and everyone fell silent.

"He is here," Gandalf said.

"Dramatic much?" Lucy muttered.

So if you're not new to this story you'll notice I added Tony, Fili and Kili's arrival. I'm going to add new word counts to the end of every chapter (Word count does not include top and bottom A/Ns). As I was rewatching the movie I noticed how after the song Kili goes "Oh look at his face!" but he doesn't get "face" out completely. I think I fangirled over his face during that for like 10 minutes. XD
