Chapter 3! From now on updates will be twice a week. I'm working on a cover pic so will hopefully be up by next chapter. Thank you to all the people who have followed, faved, and reviewed. It is very much appreciated!

Eliza wasn't happy, she was far from it. She hadn't even agreed to go on the quest, but the wizard was taking her to the meeting at a hobbit's home anyway. If Eliza wasn't in a totally different world, she would probably have left Gandalf by now.

"Gandalf, how do you know the dwarves will want me to come?" she asked trailing as fast as her now short legs would carry her.

"They won't Miss Collins, that is why you will leave the talking to me," he replied.

Eliza rolled her eyes at that. "Whatever Gandalf. And stop with the Miss Collins, its Eliza or nothing," she said.

"If you wish," Gandalf said stopping before a round green door. "And her are some of the others," he said nodding towards a bunch of loud, hairy men.

"Gandalf!" said one of the dwarves as they approached. Then noticing Eliza he added, "I don't think I've ever seen a Lady dwarf so far from the mountains before" There were murmurs of agreement among the group.

"Well, now you have," said Eliza

The dwarves just nodded at her answer and started to make there way towards the door and ring the bell way more times than necessary.

A faint voice could be heard inside, but being at the back of the group, Eliza couldn't make out what was being said.

All of a sudden the door jerked open, and all of the dwarves, including Eliza fell to the floor in a heap. "Uh dude," Eliza exclaimed to a dwarf with a funny hat, "Your suffocating me!"

"Sorry there, my Lady," he said standing up and offering a hand. "Bofur at your service," he said and offering a small bow.

"Elizabeth Collins at yours," she said, "But call me Eliza."

Soon all the dwarves introduced themselves and offered there services. Though Eliza soon forgot some of the names. Gloin then turned to Gandalf and asked, "And what is a lady dwarf doing here?"

"All will be explained in time," Gandalf simply answered.

"Thorin won't like this Gandalf," Gloin said.

Gandalf merely ignored Gloin and headed to the Kitchen. Rude. All the other dwarves soon followed leaving Eliza and the hobbit alone.

"I'm sorry for all of us coming unannounced," she said to the hobbit.

"Well you're here now," he said, "I'm Bilbo Baggins." Bilbo looked rather stressed. He probably has never had this many guests in his home at once.

"Elizabeth Collins, but call me Eliza," she replied offering Bilbo a small smile which he returned. The sounds of shouts soon made Bilbo head to the Kitchen.

Eliza soon followed behind him. As she reached the kitchen she was shocked about how much food was there, and the dwarves were still bring food out of the pantry, against Bilbo's will.

Two young dwarves approached her. The younger of the two had dark brown hair with brown eyes and a scruff of a beard said, "It seems Gloin was right, brother, there is a lady dwarf here."

His brother had blonde hair and blue eyes with some weird moustache that he braided. "Fili at your service, my lady," he said kissing her hand.

"And Kili, at your service," his Kili said copying his brother's actions.

Eliza was trying her best not to blush. Don't do it, don't do it. She blushed. "Elizabeth Collins at yours, but call me Eliza," she stammered out mentally kicking herself.

"Come on Eliza you can sit with us, though you better hurry up before Bombur eats all the food. He said before heading to the table where all the food was laid out.

Eliza had never had a dinner like the one she just had. The dwarves just ate and ate and ate. She also soon found out that the dwarves lacked in table manners. They threw food at each other and talked with their mouths full. Normally Eliza would have found it disgusting but she actually was enjoying herself.

Fili and Kili were very friendly towards her. Most of the older dwarves simply ignored her. "And that's when I first received my first black eye from Fili," finished Kili proudly. He was telling her the time he cut Fili's hair when they were dwarflings.

"What's wrong with cutting your hair?" She asked Fili.

"We dwarfs pride ourselves in our hair," Fili answered as if it were obvious, "Didn't your parents ever tell you that?" he asked.

Eliza looked away at the mention of her parents. It was a subject that she would rather not talk about. "No, my parents didn't tell me a lot of things," she simply answered.

Sensing he discomfort, Kili quickly changed the topic, "What brings you here Eliza?" he asked.

"I was lost and Gandalf brought me here," she answered. She saw in kid's cartoons, wizards changing people into frogs when they said too much. So she didn't want to take her chances.

"Are you going on the quest with us?" asked Kili who received a elbow from his brother.

"No idea," answered Eliza.

"Excuse me, that's a doily not a dishcloth!" said an angry Bilbo to Bofur.

"But it's full of holes!"

"It's supposed to look like that it's crochet."

"And a wonderful game it is too, if you got the balls for it" said Bofur

Eliza felt sorry for Bilbo who was frantically running around. All the dwarves were wondering around Bilbo's hobbit hole doing goodness knows what.

Eliza was sitting on an armchair thinking about her world. The one she really missed. Even though her childhood wasn't a happy one, it was her life. Besides her past had made her stronger, more independent.

She had her friends, her job, and well her whole life. And the Valar just had to rip it all away from her. They had chosen her for something she couldn't even do.

"Eliza," said Kili excitedly from the hall, "You might want to see this."

Joining Kili, she saw Fili approach Ori. "Here Ori give it to me," he said taking a plate from Ori who threw it to Kili. The dwarfs from the kitchen started bang the forks and knives together. "Excuse me!" shouted a frantic Bilbo, "That's my mother's West Farthing crockery; it's over a hundred years old! Can you please not do that, you'll blunt them!"

"Ooh did you hear that lads, he said we'll blunt the knives!" Then all of a sudden the dwarves started up a song.

Blunt the knives and 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 trail 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;
And when you've finished, if they are whole,
Send them down the hall to roll!

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates

Then all the dwarves started laughing at Eliza's and Bilbo's shocked expressions. Till three loud knocks on the door silenced them.

"He is here," said Gandalf solemnly.

And by He, Eliza knew that Grumpy had arrived.

So here are the dwarves and Bilbo! Please let me know what you think of this chapter. I'll probably have one more chapter before the start of the journey. Please follow, favourite and review because I love know what you think of my story!
