AN: This is a short chapter but I hope you like it anyway. Fili is 34 (8) and Kili is 29 (7).

Kili giggled as he and Fili snuck out of the woods. They had gone down to the river where they knew they weren't supposed to be. But they couldn't help it; Fili had heard some of the older boys talking about all the frogs that were around there and he wanted to see them for himself. Kili insisted on coming so Fili let him, as long as he kept it a secret. As they walked down the road to their home, they heard voices from nearby.

"Sh," Fili said to his brother and the two of them snuck down the road, keeping close to the trees. As they rounded the corner, they saw Gloin and Oin arguing. Fili and Kili's eyes widened when a few choice words flew out of Gloin's mouth. Kili clapped a hand over his mouth and Fili smirked. Gloin and Oin looked over having heard the boys' reactions and their own eyes widened as well.

"Fili…Kili…" Gloin said cautiously, knowing if Dis ever found out he said what he did in front of her boys he'd be in some kind of trouble. Not to mention if his wife found out. Kili giggled and Fili's grin grew. "Did you hear what was just said?"

Fili and Kili nodded their heads, identical grins on their faces. Gloin and Oin shared a look and Oin nudged his brother forward. Gloin walked over to the brothers and gave them a friendly smile.

"Why don't we keep this our little secret all right?" Gloin asked hopefully, looking between the Dwarflings. Fili nodded his head and Gloin looked over at Kili who nodded his head as well. "Good."

With that, Gloin and Oin quickly turned around and walked back to Gloin's home. Fili and Kili shared a look and ran the short distance back to their own home, flinging the door open and slamming it shut behind them. Dis and Gloin's wife looked up from where they were sitting at the table and Dis narrowed her eyes at her sons.

"Where have you two been?" she asked them causing the boys to share a look. "Kili?"

Kili looked over at his mother, his eyes wide, knowing he couldn't tell her where they were. He had promised Fili he wouldn't and he couldn't break that promise; Fili was his brother. Kili remembered what happened on the way home and a smirk came over his mouth.

"Mister Gloin said a bad word," Kili said and Fili grinned as well, looking over at his mother.
