When Lucy woke the next morning the sun hadn't even begun to rise. She grabbed her sword and bag before heading out of the room to meet up with the others. The elves had washed her clothes for her but she had put them in her bag and was wearing an outfit provided to her by the elves.

It was a white long sleeved top with a brown leather corset with a belt around it that had few pouches and a loop for her sword. Attached was a skirt that faded into a tan-ish colour stopping mid-calf; she had dark pants underneath and high boots. It would be easier to move around in than her jeans but of course she kept her coat over the top for now. Lucy met up with the dwarves, who were packed up and ready to go. She noticed Tony wearing new clothes as well. He had a long brown shirt with black pants underneath like Lucy had. He had a belt with a loop for his sword as well as a pouch on the opposite side.

"I look like a native don't I?" he asked with a grin as she walked up to him.

"You look cute," she said as she ruffled his hair.

"Lucy," he whined quietly. A few of the dwarves snickered.

"Looking lovely as usual, Lucy," Kili complimented with a grin as he and Fili walked up to the siblings.

"And you said we'd never see you in a dress again," Fili pointed out.

"This is a skirt," Lucy said.

"Same thing," Tony said.

"There's a difference. I'm wearing pants underneath."

"Take off your coat," Tony said before he pulled at it.

"What, why?" she asked as she let him pull it off her while giving him a weird look.

"You look a lot better now," Tony said and the two brothers nodded in agreement.

"What does it matter what I look like?" Lucy asked as she folded her coat over her arm. Tony nodded to the brothers who looked semi-awestruck but snapped out of it a moment after Lucy looked at them. Kili cleared his throat.

"I think you look nice either way," he said as Fili nodded.

"Well, I'd rather be warm than fashionable," she said as she put her coat back on. Thorin and the others started to walk by.

"Come on, the sun is on the rise," he stated, giving the four a stern look as he passed them. The brothers quickly grabbed their things and started to follow the others, Tony and Lucy doing the same. Everyone quietly made their way out of Rivendell as the light of the sun came up behind them.

"Be on your guard; we're about to step over the edge of the Wild," Thorin said as they walked up the narrow path. "Balin, you know these paths; lead on," Thorin said.

"Aye." Bilbo turned around and looked back at Rivendell, longingly.

"Master Baggins, I suggest you keep up," Thorin said. "You two as well," he added looking to the siblings.

"Come on." Tony nudged Bilbo's arm gently and the two walked next to each other. Kili stopped walking, letting the others walk past him while ignoring his uncle's look, until he was walking next to Lucy. He smiled at her.

"Lovely sunrise, don't ya think?" he asked as he nodded over to the slow rising sun.

"Yeah, it's pretty," she said returning his smile. Kili leaned in slightly and lowered his voice.

"Though, it pales in comparison to your beauty," he said with a wink. Lucy's face flushed and she tried to hide her smile as she looked away but he'd seen it. He chuckled as she nudged his shoulder with hers and she giggled quietly as he did it back.

The sun was at its highest point in the sky; the siblings took off their jackets as it became too warm to wear them. Lucy felt her bag move and turned her head to see Tony with a hand in it.

"And, what exactly are you looking for?" she asked. He shrugged.

"Dunno."

"Then could you not?"

"Nah." He shook his head and kept looking around. "You wouldn't happen to have a long forgotten granola bar or something?"

"Sorry." She shook her head. "We'll probably stop to eat soon." She turned to look at the nearest dwarf, Nori, to confirm or not. He shrugged and looked to Bombur who then realized how hungry he was. Thorin sighed and called for everyone to stop for a quick lunch and to rest; they had been walking all morning.

Lucy helped Bombur with the food; they no longer had the soup set up but had stocked up in Rivendell. Everyone else sat down to relax, as much as they could under the blazing sun.

"May I take a look at one of your books, Miss Lucy?" Ori asked.

"Hm? Yeah, go ahead." Ori went over to Lucy's back and pulled out one of the three books she had. He was planning on comparing their alphabet; he'd been meaning to ever since Tony mentioned their 'a's looking different. As he pulled the book out something else came with it. Ori picked it up, the object crinkling. Lucy frowned, hearing the familiar sound, and turned to see what he was holding. Tony burst out laughing as he too saw what the young dwarf was holding.

"What?" he asked. "What is this?" Lucy let out a sigh and went to explain but Tony spoke before she could.

"They're for nose bleeds," he said, jokingly, from where he was sitting a few feet away.

"They are?" Ori frowned. "Miss Lucy, you often get nose bleeds? There are a lot of these," he stated as he glanced into her bag.

"They're not for nose bleeds," Lucy corrected giving Tony a slight glare. "They're for when I…" she let out a breath. "menstruate."

"When you what?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. Lucy glanced at the surrounding dwarfs and saw only a handful seemed to know what she was talking about.

"When I bleed for a week," she said bluntly.

"What? How? Are you injured?" Kili asked, coming over to her, concern clear on his face. Lucy looked to Thorin with an expression the read: You're kidding me right? Balin cleared his throat.

"It's a natural occurrence for women of all races," he explained.

"What do women here do?" Lucy asked.

"Ah, well it is to my understanding…"

"Rags," Thorin answered.

"That sounds awful," Lucy said with a grimace.

"I'm still confused," Kili pointed out.

"She bleeds from her vagina so she can have babies," Tony said. Lucy slowly turned to look at him. "I'm 12, I'm not stupid." Lucy opened her mouth to speak but closed it but nodded.

"So…" Ori held up the small item he was still holding. "What is this for?"

"Tony, you keep your mouth shut or I shut it for you," Lucy snapped as she looked to him. He grinned. "It's so I don't bleed everywhere and ruin my clothes," she said quickly before taking it from him and putting it back into her bag. "End of topic please," she practically begged. A few of the dwarfs looked to be thinking then one by one their eyes widened.

"Yeah, she does, get over it," Tony said as he noted their expressions.

"Tony."

"I didn't say it." Lucy sighed and noticed the two brothers were avoiding her gaze. "You probably should have hid them better," Tony pointed out. Lucy closed her eyes and took a calming breath.

"I didn't think you'd just blurt it out."

"You weren't gonna say it."

"Of course I wasn't!"

"It's a natural female thing."

"Tony, I suggest you stop talking," Fili muttered quietly.

"I've never seen her angry before," Kili commented.

"Oh she's not that angry yet. This is about a three outta ten," Tony informed them.

"Tony. You got five seconds," Lucy warned.

"Make that a five," Tony said as he quickly got up and moved behind the two brothers.

"Don't use us as a shield," Kili said.

"You brought this on yourself," Fili agreed. "We don't want her angry with us." Tony grabbed a handful of the small plastic packages from the bag as Lucy turned to him.

"I'm gonna need these!" he shouted as. As he expected, and to the amusement of the Company, Lucy began to chase him around.

"Tony!"

The sun started to go down as the group neared the misty mountains. The company decided to stop early for camp so they could be full of energy to climb and have as much daylight as they could. They stopped for camp while they were still in the woods so they wouldn't be out in the open. Bombur started on dinner while everyone else set out their bed rolls.

"Bifur, Bofur gather firewood," Thorin said.

"I'll help!" Tony offered as he dropped his bag by his sister's and jogged over to the two.

"We'd enjoy the company," Bofur said with a smile as he pat the boy on the back. Tony smiled back and glanced at Thorin but he wasn't looking at them. The three walked off to the surrounding area to find branches for firewood.

"Hey Kee?" Lucy asked walking up to where he sat on his bedroll smoking his pipe.

"Hm?" he smiled up at her as he tilted his head to the side slightly.

"Would you braid my hair again?" she asked as she sat down.

"Sure," Kili smiled and put his pipe down. Lucy smiled.

"Could you do some smaller braids this time?" she asked. Kili hesitated.

"I uh- I don't have anything to keep them in," he pointed out.

"That's okay; to be honest I just like it when people play with my hair," Lucy admitted. Kili chuckled.

"Alright then, turn around," Lucy turned around and scooted back a bit. Kili put his legs on either side of her before he ran his fingers through her hair and took three small strands. Fili, who'd just sat down on his own bedroll a little ways away, saw the two and frowned. He got up and walked over.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Braiding her hair," Kili answered while smirking up at his brother smugly.

"You could have one of my braid bands if you'd like," Fili offered holding up one of his braids. Kili's eyes widened. Lucy, oblivious to the meaning, shook her head with a smile.

"That's okay Fee, I don't mind if they don't stay in. I just like the feel of someone playing with my hair," she admitted with a shy, sheepish smile.

"Then I think it's time Kili took a break," Fili said. Kili frowned up at his brother. "Shouldn't you be helping Tony practice with his sword?" Fili asked him. Kili's eyebrows came down together in confusion.

"I thought you were going t-"

"Ah-ah-ah, listen to your older brother. Go help Tony." Kili rolled his eyes but got up to go find the boy. Fili sat behind Lucy and ran his fingers through her hair. She felt a pleasant shiver go down her spine and had to bite the inside of her bottom lip to hold back a rising smile.

"Shouldn't you be helping me practice then, since Kili's helping Tony?" Lucy asked turning her head slightly.

"Shhh, luv." He slowly ran his fingers through her hair then gently brushed his fingers against her neck. She looked back at him and he smiled at her.

"Fili?"

"Yes?" he asked softly. Lucy felt her face heat up and didn't trust herself to speak at a normal volume.

"As much as I'd love to just stay here like this... with you," Fili's smile widened slightly and he leaned in closer to her. "Your uncle is glaring at us. Well at me," she clarified as she looked down at her lap. Fili gently held her chin and turned her head to face him again.

"Just ignore him," he said. The closeness caused Lucy's face to flush. Their eyes met and she felt a flutter in her chest as he smiled at her.

"I still think maybe you should give me that fighting lesson now," she said as she moved her head away to look forward. Fili chuckled slightly.

"I can do better than that." He stood then held out a hand to help her up. "How would you like to be able to use my throwing knives, daggers and axes?" Lucy's eyes lit up as she took his hand and let him pull her up.

"Really?"

"If you want," he said.

"Yeah. Oh, but I don't where I'd put them even if I knew how to use them," Lucy said as she looked down at herself.

"I've got that covered," Fili said with a smirk.

…

Tony was practicing his swings as Kili gave him tips and pointers. He looked over and saw Fili teaching Lucy how to throw a throwing knife at a tree. Fili held her arm, with his other hand on the small of her back, and slowly showed her how to throw it before he'd let her try. Tony could see his sister's face was bright pink.

"Your brother likes my sister, doesn't he?" Tony asked. Kili frowned in confusion.

"Of course he likes her, why wouldn't he?"

"No, I mean he really likes her."

"Oh, you mean he fancies her?" Kili watched the two a moment. "I guess you're right." He sighed overdramatically. "I never stood a chance." Tony snickered. "Hush," Kili said as he rolled his eyes.

"No one said you had to let your brother win," Tony said.

"Who said it was a contest?" Kili asked. Tony gave him a look. "What are you suggesting?" he asked.

"I say it's time the younger sibling got something they wanted," Tony said. Kili shook his head.

"If he truly has feelings for her I won't stand in the way," he said with a frown.

"What about your feelings?" Tony asked. Kili cleared his throat as he looked away. "Look, I'm not saying you have to steal her away from him. Just don't give up so easily; it's not like they're dating yet."

"I'm not giving up easily," Kili said crossing his arms with a frown before he looked confused. "…What is dating?"

"Uh… I guess you guys have a different word for it. Hmm… you know how when you like someone and you what to be with them? You have a relationship but not married."

"Courting?" Kili asked.

"I guess, yeah let's go with that. They're not courting yet."

"They aren't…" Kili mused.

"So you still have a shot," Tony said. Kili shook his head. "Go pick her a flower or something." Kili turned to look at Tony.

"You're just trying to get out of training, aren't you?" he asked. Tony raised his eyebrows as if the idea was unheard-of.

"No I'm not. Look, I'll keep practicing while you go talk to her."

"Alright," Kili nodded and smiled.

"Good luck," Tony said. Kili frowned, suddenly looking nervous.

"Do you think I'll need it?"

"It's an expression, you'll be fine."

"Alright," Kili said before walking away. Tony smiled and sheathed his sword. He heard someone clear their throat and saw Thorin standing there with his arms crossed and a deep frown on his face. Tony's smile grew sheepish and he unsheathed his sword before continuing his practice swings.

…

"I think you're getting the hang of it," Fili said with a smile as he looked from the knives stuck in a tree to Lucy. Lucy smiled back. "Now we just have to find where to put these." He twirled a knife in his hand. "We could fit a few here." He reached out and put three small knifes in the belt like strap on Lucy's corset. "We could also put two in your boots. I'll help you make holsters for them later." Lucy nodded. Fili took a few more knives off his person before handing them to Lucy.

"How many of those do you have?" she asked as she put a few in her pouch attached to her hip. He smirked and put a finger to his lips.

"That, my dear Lucy, is a secret," he said making her chuckle. "I think we should work on your swordsmanship next, unless you're too tired."

"Not at all," Lucy said with a smile. She was a bit tired from walking the whole day but the practice could save her life, plus it was Fili teaching her so it wouldn't be all that bad.

Kili walked up to his brother and Lucy and saw Lucy had just started to swing her sword.

"No no no," Kili said. The two turned to look at him. He walked up behind Lucy and fixed her grip and her stance. His arm around her made her face flush. His other hand swiftly tucked a flower behind her ear. She blinked in surprise, reaching up to touch it as she looked to see him smiling.

"Kili, shouldn't you be helping Tony?" Fili asked with a frown, a bit ticked at his younger brother.

"He's doing alright by himself." The three turned to see Tony trying to pull his sword out of a tree. Kili turned back to the two with a sheepish smile. "Ehh… He'll be fine," he told Lucy who looked a bit worried.

"Don't you have… something else to do?" Fili asked.

"Nope," Kili said with a grin. "I was hoping I could steal the lovely lady away." He held out his hand for Lucy to take.

"Lucy still has to practice," Fili said glaring at his brother slightly.

"It's almost dark."

"Almost. So she should keep practicing until then," Fili almost growled.

"I'll still be here when the sun goes down, Kee," Lucy said. Kili nodded.

"Until then, m'lady," Kili said with a wink before he walked away.

"What was that about?" Lucy asked as she looked Fili. Fili looked at her with a small confused frown.

"What?" he asked.

"I didn't know you cared so much about my training," she said with a chuckle.

"Well," Fili said with a nod before clearing his throat. "Of course. Your training is very important, speaking of…" He gestured to her. She nodded and started up again.

…

Soon the sun was down and Lucy put her sword by her bag, Tony was a few feet away playing his game. She could see the red light on the device showing it would be useless soon.

"Lucy." She looked up to see Kili smiling at her. Tony looked over and hid a smirk behind his game. Kili held out his hand. Lucy chuckled and took it.

"So what are we doing?" she asked.

"Just getting a bit of privacy so no one can eavesdrop," he said as he led her away. Lucy nodded. Once the two were far enough away from everyone else, but still within the campsite and view. Kili laid down and patted the spot beside him. Lucy laid down and turned her head to him.

"So what are we doing?" she asked again with a chuckle. Kili pointed up. Lucy turned her head to look at the sky and a small gasp escaped her lips. Kili chuckled.

"Tony told me about… uh light pollution. I found it awfully sad you can't see the stars that well in your world. I figured since it was such a clear night, it'd be the perfect time for stargazing."

"I can't believe as long as I've been here I've never really looked up," Lucy said in a whisper. "I mean I have but… it's never been this…" she motioned to the sky with a chuckle.

"Well to be fair we've mostly been in the woods, the trees have been blocking most of the view," Kili whispered back as he turned his head to look at her. "It's beautiful isn't it?"

"Yeah." Kili turned onto his side and propped himself up on his elbow. He looked over at Tony, who gave him a thumbs up, and shook his head with a silent laugh. He watched Lucy look up at the sky in amazement before he bit his bottom lip.

"Lucy?" He looked down at the ground as he played with a blade of grass between his fingers.

"Yeah?" She didn't look at him; her gaze was fixed on the twinkling dots above them. "Do you… do you fancy my brother?" Lucy's head snapped to look at him and he smirked at the rising blush coming to her cheeks.

"Wh-what?"

"Do you like my brother?" he asked.

"Of course I like him," she said pretending she didn't know what he meant. Kili chuckled.

"Do you really like him?" he asked. "Do you fancy him?" Lucy swallowed. Kili looked back over to the others and noticed his brother glaring at a tree while he smoked his pipe, sighing every so often. "Do you know the significance of our braid bands?" Lucy shook her head. "Some have our family crest on them." Lucy nodded. "Do you know the significance of braids?" Lucy shook her head again. "To braid a female's hair… it's something a male normally does when the two are… together." He saw Lucy's blush darken and her eyebrows rose.

"I didn't know," she said, flustered.

"It's alright, Lucy," he said with a chuckle. "I know you didn't." Lucy glanced at the other dwarves. "They also probably figured you didn't know," he added. "When a couple starts courting they braid each other's hair and the female wears the male's band. The male could also wear hers but most don't unless they're… well sought after. They wear their One's band that has their family crest."

"Their One?" Lucy asked.

"Uh yeah… that's what we call the one we're courting," he added.

"Like someone's boyfriend or girlfriend," Lucy suggested. Kili blinked. "That's what we call the person we … court in our world. If someone's engaged to be married they're someone's fiancé."

"So… do you have a… boyfriend back in your world?" Kili asked. "Or a fiancé?" Lucy shook her head with a chuckle.

"No," she said. "You?"

"Nah, no one waiting back home for me…. Well our mother but…" he chuckled then shook his head as Lucy smiled. Just then a thought occurred to her.

"Wait a minute… didn't Fili offer me his…?" Lucy trailed off as she reached up to touch one of the braids still in her hair and Kili nodded. "So he… if I had said yes and you had put his band in my hair… what would that mean?"

"Well we do have the same bands since we're brothers but since it came from him it would mean… the two of you were courting."

"But he never asked to… court me."

"Oh, I'm sure he was going to ask afterwards, he probably acted without thinking because he was jealous of me spending time with you." Kili smirked. Lucy chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"So…" She bit her lip. "He likes me?" Kili smiled at her.

"Mhm." Lucy started to smile but then a thought crossed her mind and her smile fell. Kili frowned when he saw. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice laced with worry.

"What if Tony and I end up finding a way home?" she whispered. Kili's frown deepened and he looked down.

"… and what if you don't?" Kili asked. She turned her head to look at him. "Would you stay with us in Erebor? With Fili?" Lucy nodded her head. "Then you should talk to him; you should spend as long as you can together." Lucy shook her head.

"It would just be too painful if we ever did end up finding a way home."

"What if it was so painful that you decided to stay?"

"What?"

"Why don't you just stay?" Kili asked as he sat up. Lucy sat up as well. "Just stay here with us, no matter what happens."

"Kili, we can't just-" Lucy shook her head.

"Don't go…" he begged in a quiet voice. "I've gotten so used to having you around, the others feel the same way I'm sure. We'd all miss you two."

"I'm pretty positive Thorin still doesn't want me or Tony here."

"Who cares what my uncle thinks?"

"Considering he's a king…" Lucy said with a slight scoff. Kili rolled his eyes and took one of her hands in his.

"How about this: if you find a way home, just stay a little while longer; don't go right away."

"You just want it to be so painful we won't go," she said.

"That's the plan," Kili said in a serious tone and a nod.

"Look… Kili, I understand you want us to stay and it means a lot to me…" she put a hand over her heart. "I'm sure it would mean a lot to Tony too… but we don't belong here." Kili lowered his head. Lucy frowned and rubbed her thumb over the back of his hand. Suddenly his head shot up.

"What if you do?" he asked with a growing smile.

"What?" Lucy blinked.

"What if you do belong here?"

"Kili…"

"No just listen. It's like Gandalf said. Something brought the two of you to this world and to this company; it's brought you on this journey and it's led you to me-my brother." Lucy didn't catch his slip up.

"Kili, what about my parents back home?" Lucy asked. Kili frowned.

"Maybe they could come here too?" he suggested with a sheepish shrug.

"I appreciate what you're saying I really do," Lucy said. She let out a sigh. "How about this: if Tony and I don't find a way back home within... a few weeks of reclaiming Erebor… we'll stay."

"You won't look for a way back? You'll stay forever?" Kili asked his eyebrows raised and a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Yes."

"Promise?" Kili asked. Lucy bit her lip as she hesitated.

"I… I promise," she said. Suddenly Kili tackled her into a hug with a joyful laugh. She let out a squeak but laughed as well. Some of the company looked over and rolled their eyes with a few chuckles. Fili looked over and frowned deeply before getting up and walking deeper into the forest. Kili let go of Lucy and smiled sheepishly.

"Guess you should go after him then," he said. Lucy nodded.

"Thank you, Kili," Lucy said. She put a hand on one of his cheeks and kissed the other before she got up to go after Fili.

"Of course..." Kili said with a sad smile as he watched her walk away.

…

"Fili!" Lucy called after him. It didn't take long to catch up to him. "Hey, wait up!" He stopped walking but didn't turn to look at her and let out a sigh. Lucy touched his arm. "Fili?"

"Congratulations," he said turning to her with a forced smile.

"Huh?"

"You and Kili, huh?" Lucy's mouth fell open.

"What?"

"You two will make a great couple," he said without looking at her. Lucy started laughing which made Fili frown. "What's so funny?" he asked.

"You!" Fili frowned deeper. "There's nothing going on between me and Kili," she said. Fili looked confused.

"But I saw the two of you-"

"He got over excited cause I told him we might stay here after the journey." Fili's eyes lit up.

"You're going to stay? That's great!" Fili exclaimed with a smile then blinked. "So there's nothing between you and Kili?" he asked before Lucy could say anything.

"No, I mean he's adorable and flirts sometimes but...no," she said shaking her head. After all Kili wanted her and Fili to be together, didn't he?

Fili nodded and was tempted to ask, 'and me?' but bit his tongue. Lucy swallowed and took a breath before taking a step closer to him.

"Hey Fili?" He looked at her. "You think I could borrow that braid band now?" Fili blinked. His cheeks went pink slightly.

"Uh- I uh well…"

"Kili told me about them, the braids and the bands." Fili's eyes widened and he blinked.

"So… so you?" He pointed to her then to himself and back.

"I believe the phrase Kili used was… I fancy you," she said as she looked down at her hands. Fili grinned and suddenly wrapped his arms around her then picked her up before he spun her around. She put her hands on his shoulders and laughed. He stopped and put her down so they were face to face with his arms still around her.

"That's fantastic," he whispered with the biggest smile.

"So you fancy me too?" Lucy asked with a smile.

"Oh yes," he said. Lucy kissed his cheek quickly and he gave her a quick chaste kiss on the lips. Lucy looked away shyly as she felt her face burning. "I've been waiting forever to do that." His smile grew even more, if possible, as Lucy smiled shyly at him.

"Really?"

"Really," Fili said with a chuckle as he brushed a strand of hair out of her face letting his fingers linger. She gave him a quick kiss and when she went to pull away his hand slipped into her hair to hold the back of her head as he deepened the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself closer. After a moment they had to pull away the catch their breath.

"Well, at least kissing is the same here as it is back home," Lucy said with a chuckle. He stroked the side of her face, his thumb rubbing her cheek gently. "I guess I should've told you how I felt sooner." Fili chuckled.

"I guess we'll have to make up for lost time," he suggested as he smiled before capturing her lips once more.

When Fili and Lucy returned to the camp, their fingers intertwined between them, the first to notice her new braid and the band was Thorin. His eyes widened as he stared at it silently. After a moment he sighed with a small smile when he saw the look on Fili's face. Dwalin, who was sitting next to him, noticed it next; he raised his eyebrows but also didn't say a word. He looked at Thorin and saw the smile.

"Perhaps she'll be good for him," Dwalin mused. Thorin nodded. The next to notice was Bofur who made such a scene that everyone knew about it within the next five seconds. Tony looked from his sister and Fili, who were crowded by dwarves, to Kili who was sitting next to him.

"You just ruined your chances completely, you do realize that right?" Tony asked. Kili nodded and sighed.

"I'd rather see them both happy than be happy and have my brother be the one who's hurting," he said as he looked up at the sky.

"But what about you?" Tony asked with a frown. Kili just shook his head silently as he looked at the stars.

"Alright," Thorin said loudly. Everyone quieted down. "Everyone get some rest." The dwarves all returned to their bedrolls. Fili looked over as his uncle gave him a small nod. Lucy deliberately avoided looking at Thorin as she and Fili went to his bedroll. He kissed her hand before they laid down.

"Sweet dreams," Lucy whispered back as Fili let her use his arm as a pillow.

"If you're in them, they will be," he said with a smile before kissing her forehead. "Goodnight, luv."

"Goodnight."
