Hello! I'm back again! I think this will honestly be one of the only times that I will ever get two chapters uploaded in one day. Yay! The only reason is because lately I was working on the biggest project of my 8th grade year, and I finally finished it! So now, I have a load of time on my hands! Anywho, you probably just want the story, so, here ya go! Please enjoy, and please comment! I really need some encouragement here!
As Bilbo opened the door for a second time, instead of a tall, bald dwarf, they found an older dwarf, with snowy white hair smiling kindly at them.
"Balin. At your service." He gave them a heartwarming smile.
"Good evening," Bilbo said, still shocked and confused as to why dwarves were showing up at his house.
"Yes, yes it is." Balin said with a look at the sky. "Though, I think it might rain later," he added, as he stepped into the house. "Good evening lassies," He said with an even bigger smile, before leaning closer to Bilbo. "Tell me, am I late?" Bilbo looked completely boggled as he tried to answer.
"Late, for what?" he asked slowly, not quite understanding.
"Oh, ha-ha!" Balin called with a laugh as he saw Dwalin trying to get his hand inside a jar. "Evening, brother," he said happily, as he approached the other dwarf.
"Ah, by my beard, you are shorter and wider than last we met." Dwalin said, with the first smile the siblings had seen all evening.
"Wider, not shorter," Balin said matter of factly. He paused before continuing, "Sharp enough for the both of us." The brothers laughed at this, and Bilbo again closed the door. He turned around just in time to see the brothers hit their heads together, in a weird, welcoming way.
"Um, I don't mean to interrupt, but I'm not entirely sure you're in the right house." Bilbo tried to get their attention, but it wouldn't work.
"Oh, leave them be Bilbo! I'm actually quite enjoying this." Elriauna said with a laugh. As the dwarves started to raid their pantry, Eliauna pulled her sister to the side.
"If we are having guests over, then I think we should perhaps not wear our pajamas." Elriauna looked down at herself and nodded.
"Ok. Perhaps we should wear our nice gowns? You know, the green one that matches my eyes, and the blue one that matches yours?" Eliauna nodded with a smile.
"We will meet back here in 20 minutes then, ok?" They both nodded before going their separate ways to their rooms.
20 minutes later, both girls emerged from their rooms looking like princesses. Elriauna had her crimson red hair in beautiful braids, while Eliauna had her hair in waves, so that the crimson red streaks going through her blonde hair were more defined. They were wearing elven made dresses to match their eye colors, Elriauna with emerald green, and Eliauna with sapphire blue. They smiled at each other, and made their way to the kitchen. Once there, they found Bilbo, who was trying to tell the dwarves how he didn't mind company, but that he wanted to know guests first. They had just thrown some cheese behind Bilbo when he said loudly,
"I'm sorry." The dwarves turned and stared at him for a moment before Balin replied.
"Apology accepted." They turned to go back to looking for food, but stopped when they saw the two sisters walking into the kitchen. "My, my, don't you lassies look lovely?" Elriauna smiled, and Eliauna curtsied.
"We thought it might be more, um, appropriate to dress in evening attire instead of our, nightclothes." Eliauna said nervously. Bilbo smiled at his sisters and nodded in approval as the dwarves smiled and went back to searching for food. He walked over to them and smiled again.
"That is a great idea, in fact, I think I might go do that myself. If anyone else comes to the door-" he glanced back to the other dwarves as he thought. "Um, just, go on and let them in." He smiled, and went around them to get to his room. A few minutes later, there was another knocking on the door, and the twins hurried to open it. When they did, they both stood and stared.
When the door was opened, Fili and Kili had expected to see a small hobbit like the one Gandalf had said there would be, but instead they saw the most beautiful girls they had ever seen. Fili was staring at the one with beautiful crimson hair and vibrant green eyes. She smiled at him, and he could tell that she was a defiant one. Kili was looking at the girl with beautiful blonde hair, and then he realized that it had streaks of crimson the same color as her sisters, which made her all the more beautiful. He loved her bright sapphire blue eyes, and almost forgot to say something when his brother introduced himself.
"Fili." When Kili didn't say anything, Fili elbowed him in the side.
"A-And Kili." He shot his brother a glare, and then they both bowed.
"At your service!" They said, and when they stood, the girls were curtsying. The brothers were surprised and a bit wierded out as the girls talked in unison.
"Elriauna and Eliauna Firemoon, at your service." Elriauna could not take her eyes off of the handsome blonde dwarf as he strode proudly into the house. Eliauna also could not stop looking at the dark haired dwarf, who called himself Kili. Fili turned to Elriauna and bowed once more.
"Are you the princesses of this place?" He asked sincerely. The girls looked at each other, and Eliauna nodded.
"Sort of, well, not of this place but we are related to-" She was cut off as Bilbo came into the room.
"Ah, this must be your butler, here." Fili started placing his various weapons in the flustered hobbits arms. As he placed his twin blades first, he gave the hobbit instructions.
"Careful with these, I've just them sharpened." Bilbo tried to stop him, but was interrupted by Kili.
"It's nice, this place. Did you do it yourselves?" Bilbo wasn't sure who Kili was talking to, so he answered himself while trying not to drop the weapons in his arms.
"Um, no, it's been in the family for years," he said hesitantly as he watched in horror as Kili began to wipe his shoes on a box by the wall. "That's my Mother's glory box, could you please not do that!" Bilbo yelled in frustration. Dwalin came out of the kitchen at that moment and walked up to the boys.
"Fili, Kili, come on, give us a hand." He put him arm around Kili's shoulders and began to lead the younger dwarf into the dining room.
"Mister Dwalin," Kili said with a smile, and once Fili was done giving Bilbo his weapons, he gave the girls a wink and followed his brother.
"Better move some things around if we want to get everyone in here," Balin said, and the dwarves started moving things around in the dining room.
"Everyone! How many more of there are you?!" Bilbo was starting to get frantic, and when the doorbell rang one more time, he lost it all. "Oh no. No, no, there's nobody home!" he started yelling as he made his way to the door. He threw Fili's weapons on the floor, to the annoyance of Elriauna, and threw Kili's pack on the ground next to it. "Go away, and, bother somebody else! There's far too many dwarves in my dining room as it is. If this is some blockheads idea of a joke, ha-ha, I can only say, it is in very, poor taste!" As Bilbo opened the door, a group of dwarves fell into a heap on the floor in front of his feet. They began moaning in pain, and one yelled out,
"Gandalf!" Bilbo looked up in surprise, and saw the familiar wizard leaning over to be able to see the hobbit.
"Gandalf." Bilbo said with a sigh, as he realized what was going on. As the twins came into the front hall, Gandalf was entering the house. They giggled at the sight of the dwarves on the floor, and a dwarf with a funny looking hat and braids looked up at the girls in front of them.
"Ah, now aren't you lasses looking lovely tonight." He stood and offered his hand to Eliauna, who took it. He leaned down and kissed that back of her hand, and when he stood, he did a slight bow of his head. "Bofur, at your service." He gestured to two of the dwarves behind him as they stood. "That's Bomber, my brother, and Bifur, my cousin." The other two dwarves bowed. A small and younger dwarf came up to the two, and in a small, adorable way introduced himself and his brothers.
"Ori, at your service, and that is Nori, and that is Dori." The three bowed, then moved out of the way to let two more dwarves introduce themselves.
"Hello, I'm Oin, the healer, and this is my brother Gloin." They too bowed, and this time the girls curtsied. As the dwarves all opened their mouths to speak, Elriauna spoke first.
"Welcome to our lovely home, the food is in the kitchen, no we are not princesses, and Bilbo is not our butler, he is our brother, does that answer your questions?" Some of the dwarves closed their mouths, while others kept their mouths open in shock. They looked around at each other, and slowly nodded their heads. They slowly walked into the kitchen where the other dwarves greeted them warmly. As Bofur passed by the girls, he nodded his head one more time.
"I don't know how you did that, but whatever you did was very cool." Elriauna smiled at him, and once he had passed she turned to Eliauna.
"I don't know how I did that either, so don't ask." Eliauna nodded, and when they heard a crash come from the pantry, and Bilbo yelling something they could not understand, they headed in that direction.
Please, R&R, I would really like to know what you think of the story so far. Hope you liked this chapter, and because school is getting out in two weeks, I will have a lot more time to upload chapters. So expect a lot of updating these next few months.
