A/N: So there is some confusion in ages. In the beginning I had them 5 years apart in the age of men but I eventually decided to go more by dwarvish ages so with dwarvish ages so they are still 5 years apart but they look and have the body of people in the ages of mean closer. So they could be like 30 and 25 years old but in the age of men they are like 13 and 14. I did this so they are closer in age and can interact more like best friends.
Fili: 17
Kili: 16

I run down the path.
"Let's go! You weren't this slow when Fili was getting his first pony!" I call to my brother and uncle who are little ways up the path.
"That's because I don't want my youngest nephew getting hurt!" he calls back.
"Because I'm your favorite!"
I see Fili say some nasty things in Iglishmek to me.
I just smile and wave. It's so fun to piss him off.
When we get to the market it looks just as it did 5 years ago but with different ponies. I go right to the same paddock that Fili found Mindy because I just knew that my pony would be in the same paddock.
When I reach the paddock a small black pony with some white on her face shaped like a Shamrock on its face.
"That one."
"Now Kili you really should try her out first." My uncle argues. This is just like Fili's first pony.
"I know this. It's a connection." I tell him.
"But Kili this horse could be unpredictable." The older dwarf tries to tell his youngest nephew.
"Why are you making such a fuss? You didn't give this much for Fili!"
Thorin mutters something under his breath. "How much?"
"300 shillings for Shamrock here." The salesman tells uncle.
Thorin hands him the coins. Once I have the rope I mount her.
"Can I ride her home?"
Thorin gruffs and nods and I take off galloping home. I take the short cut because I am not letting Fili get home before me.
Fili
"Is he really your favorite?" I ask.
"I love you equally. I just didn't give you this much trouble because I know you don't get in too much trouble. Kili on the other hand, that boy is a magnet for trouble."
I chuckle. That he is.
