AN: Here's the next chapter! Enjoy! Fili is 43 (10) and Kili is 38 (9).

"Fili, what are you going to do? Thorin will be angry," Kili said to his brother as the two of them looked at the ripped shirt. Fili looked over at Kili with wide eyes.

"I'll hide it so they won't find it," Fili replied as he took the shirt and hurriedly shoved it underneath the dresser. They weren't supposed to be in Thorin's room, let alone playing with his things, but Fili wanted to see what Thorin's new shirt looked like on him. The front door opened and shut and the two brother's whipped their heads around and shared identical, wide-eyed looks. Fili grabbed Kili and pulled him out of the room, silently shutting the door behind them. Fili pulled his brother down the hall but stopped just before they reached the kitchen where they could hear their mother bustling around. Fili turned and looked Kili in the eye, his face and voice serious. "Kili you have to keep this a secret."

Kili nodded his head and, satisfied, Fili led his brother into the kitchen. The boys say hello to their mother and then ran outside to play. Dis shook her head and continued cleaning up the mess in the kitchen. When she was done, she moved to each of the rooms and gathered the laundry into a basket. Just as she was about to leave Thorin's room, a piece of cloth under the dresser caught her eye. She reached down and grabbed it, pulling it out from underneath it. It got caught so she set the basket down and proceeded to try to pull the cloth free.

Finally, she is able to pull it free but a loud 'rip' echoed through the room and Dis froze. She held up the cloth, seeing that is was the new shirt Thorin had just gotten. And in the side of it was a giant rip. Dis cringed, knowing her brother would be upset at his new shirt being ruined. She should've been more careful with it but she wasn't expecting a shirt to be shoved underneath the dresser. That brother of hers never put his belongings away and now she will be blamed for ripping his new shirt.

Two sets of little feet run down the hall and Dis looked up in time to see her sons run into the room. Their eyes widened at seeing the ripped shirt in her hands, thinking she had found the shirt and now they were going to get into trouble. Dis grimaced, knowing her boys had caught her in the act. Dis shoved the shirt in the laundry basket and knelt down to her boys level.

"Boys, let's not tell your uncle about this," Dis said, offering them a smile. "It'll be our secret. I'll get Thorin another one before he even finds out about this one."

The two brothers shared a look, wide grins on their faces, knowing they had just gotten out of getting into trouble. Dis thought it was because they agreed with her and she let out a relieved sigh. Fili and Kili looked back at their mother and nod their heads.

"Sure, mother. Our little secret," they said and then their eyes widened, remembering why they had ran in here. "Thorin's here."

Dis nodded her head and, hiding the ripped shirt at the bottom of the basket, followed the boys out into the kitchen. Thorin had taken off his jacket and boots, hanging them on a hook and setting them against the wall respectively. Thorin looked over at his sister and offered her a grin.

"Dis, I have to go to an important meeting tonight. Could you make sure my new shirt is ready," he said, noticing his sister's panicked look. Thorin furrowed his eyebrows and looked down at his nephews, seeing the wide-eyed look on their faces. "What wrong?"

"Nothing. Nothing at all," Dis said, forcing a smile on her face. Thorin pinched his eyebrows further together and glanced at the boys once more before he turned his attention back to Dis.

"Dis, what happened?" Thorin asked, concern beginning to flick into his mind.

"Mother ripped your new shirt," Kili suddenly shouted out, his eyes wide and his hand going to his mouth. Thorin turned his gaze to his youngest nephew, seeing Fili slap a hand over his eyes and shaking his head. Thorin smirked and glanced over at his sister.

"She did, did she?" he asked with an amused grin. Dis looked over at Kili and gave him a scolding look. That was the last time she entrusted Kili with any of her secrets.
