AN: All right everyone, here's the last chapter! Hope everyone enjoys it! Fili and Kili are the same ages as they are in the movie, Fili 82 and Kili 77. The last section is a part from AUJ that I thought would be funny to add in. Enjoy!
"Fili," Thorin's deep voice sounded from behind the eldest heir. Fili looked behind him, seeing his uncle leading his pony towards the front of the house. Fili was just returning from having his and Kili's blades sharpened. Thorin had arrived yesterday announcing they were going on a quest and that he wanted Fili and Kili to come with him. Dis had sent them to their room and she and Thorin talked in harsh whispers, whatever the quest was about did not sit well with their mother. Eventually, Dis conceded reluctantly. Now, Thorin was traveling to the Iron Hills to get more help.
"Thorin?" Fili asked as he furrowed his eyebrows. Thorin looked towards the front door and not seeing anyone nodded for Fili to join him at the side of the house. Fili glanced back at the house but then walked over to Thorin, wondering what was going on.
"Do you know what this quest is?" Thorin asked Fili earning a head shake from his nephew. "We are taking back Erebor. We are reclaiming our homeland."
Fili's eyes widened and they shine in excitement. He and Kili heard tales of the Mountain from their uncle and they knew one day they'd take it back and kill Smaug. Thorin fixed Fili with a stern look before continuing.
"I haven't told Kili yet," Thorin continued earning a confused look from Fili. Fili furrowed his eyebrows; Thorin had been up for a while, as well as Kili. Thorin smirked and his eyes gave Fili a knowing look. "No one must know of this quest. It must be kept a secret."
Fili's eyes widened, understanding exactly what his uncle is saying. It didn't make the conclusion any easier to swallow though. Fili glanced towards the front of the house and then back at his uncle.
"You're not going to tell him at all are you?" Fili asked, not liking the idea of keeping this from his brother.
"No, I'm not," Thorin replied, seeing the grimace on Fili's face as he looked back towards the front of the house. Thorin smirked. "You are."
Fili's head whipped back around and he furrowed his eyebrows at his uncle.
"Thorin?" Thorin glanced at the front of the house and then back at Fili, sighing.
"I'm sure you're well aware that your brother is not the best secret keeper," Thorin said, fixing his nephew with a look. Fili nodded his head, still not understanding where his uncle is going with this. "Unless of course it came to you."
"I don't understand," Fili said, not wanting Thorin to know all of the secrets Kili had kept from them for his brother. Thorin chuckled and shook his head.
"Your mother found the plate a few days later while she was cleaning. And Dwalin told me how you yelled at him when Kili got hurt from the wooden sword. Gloin told Dis he saw you two down by the river when she talked to him about swearing in front of you two. And your mother and I realized you ripped the shirt," Thorin explained, calling Fili out for all of the secrets Kili kept for him. "And not once did your brother let on on any of them. They are the only secrets I know of Kili keeping."
Fili nodded his head, understanding exactly what his uncle is saying now. If he told Kili what the quest was then Kili would keep the secret, because Fili asked him to. Thorin nodded his head and climbed onto his pony, uncle and nephew parting ways.
"I'll see you at Mister Baggins," Thorin said as he looked back at Fili, who nodded before turning to walk back into the house. "And Fili."
Fili turned back around and looked over at his uncle, furrowing his eyebrows. Thorin smirked in his direction and raised an eyebrow.
"Next time you two sneak out and you get drunk, make sure Bofur knows it's a secret right from the beginning," he said chuckling at the widened eyes of his nephew. Thorin turned his pony towards the road and galloped away leaving a scowling nephew behind him.
Fili walked into the house and back to his and Kili's room. As he walked in, he saw Kili packing his bag, making sure he had everything. Fili set Kili's sword on his bed next to Kili's bow and quiver filled with arrows. Kili looked over at his brother and gave him a smile which Fili returned.
"I found out what the quest is," Fili announced causing Kili's eyes to widen.
"What is it?" Kili asked turning his body to fully face his brother and excitement lacing his tone.
"We're taking back Erebor," Fili answered as his smile widened. Kili's eyes widened and his grin grew. Fili suddenly turned serious and he fixed Kili with a look. "Kili, no one can know about this. It's a secret. You can't say anything."
"I won't. I give you my word Fili," Kili replied seriously as he shook his head, defiance written on his face. Fili nodded his head.
"Good."

"Who did you tell about your quest beyond your kin?!" Gandalf shouted at Thorin after Kili shot a Warg and Dwalin and Thorin killed another.
"No one," Thorin replied as he looked right at Gandalf.
"Who did you tell?!" Gandalf demanded anxiously.
"No one, I swear. I only told my kin," Thorin replied, trying to get Gandalf to believe him. Suddenly, everyone in the company turned towards Kili, staring at him. Kili's eyes widened and he shook his head.
"I didn't say anything. I swear!" he said determinedly.
"You're not the best at keeping secrets," Gloin accused the youngest of the company.
"I didn't tell anyone," Kili argued in return, looking at his brother for help. Fili met his brother's gaze and then turned back to the company.
"Kili didn't say anything," Fili said, coming to his brother's aide.
"How do you know?" the company asked with raised eyebrows.
"Because he promised me he wouldn't," Fili replied surely, his eyes meeting his uncle's, the two of them sharing a look. There were a few things Fili was certain on, and one of them was his brother would never divulge his secrets.
