Imagine: Swimming with the Company

Not that long but I hope you enjoy it anyway ^_^

"Toby, what are you wearing?" Fili asked. Toby blinked and looked down.

"Swimming trunks."

"You're going swimming?" Kili asked.

"Yeah! It's finally warm enough to take the cover off the pool in our backyard!"

"That's what the blue thing is?" Fili asked.

"Could we come swimming too?" Kili asked.

"Sure, I don't see why not." Toby said with a shrug.

"Do you have any more of these trunks?" Balin asked.

"Do we need them?" Kili asked.

"You can't just swim naked!" Toby said with wide eyes.

"Why not?" Fili asked.

"Linda's going to be swimming too!" Toby said as he put his hands on his hips. Kili's face flushed.

"What will she be wearing?" he asked. Fili elbowed him in the side with a frown.

"A bathing suit." Toby said. Bilbo walked into the room. "Hey Bilbo, you wanna come swimming with us?" The hobbit's eyes went wide.

"Swimming? Oh no, no, hobbits don't swim."

"I'll teach you." Toby said with a grin. "Linda! Hurry up! I wanna swim!" Toby called up the stairs.

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" they heard her call back. A few minutes later she came downstairs in a light blue bikini. Fili and Kili's jaws feel open and Bilbo squeaked before turning away. "You guys okay?" Linda asked the brothers.

"We're wonderful." Kili said with a silly grin.

"They wanna come swimming too." Toby said. "Do we have any extra shorts we could give them for trunks?"

"Do we really need them?" Fili asked as he looked Linda up and down.

"You're not swimming naked with my sister." Toby said with a frown.

"Who's swimming naked?" Thorin asked as he entered the room with a frown.

"They wanna swim with Linda, naked." Toby said. The brother's flinched as their uncle turned his gaze to them.

"We were kidding!" Kili squeaked.

"We wouldn't do that." Fili said.

"I would hope not." Thorin said. It was then he noticed what Linda was wearing. His eyebrows shot up and he looked away, respectfully.

"I'll go look for something for them to wear." Linda said before heading back upstairs. Both brother's leaned to watch her go until Thorin cleared his throat. The two smiled sheepishly as they stood up straight.

"I'll go see if anyone else wants to go swimming, the pools big enough." Toby said before he left the room.

Linda pulled the cover off the pool, with the help of a few of the brothers who insisted on helping, and grabbed a skim net to clean it.

"I can do that for you." Fili offered.

"That's okay, I got it." Linda said.

"Let her do it, Fee." Kili said as Linda kneeled by the edge and leaned over to clean the pool.

"Hey!" Toby snapped at them with a frown. Kili rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

"I'll help you." Ori said with a small smile.

"Thank you, sweetie, but it won't take long." Linda said.

"Oh, okay then."

"Toby, can you get the test kit while I check the filter?" Linda asked.

"Sure." Toby said. He turned to the brother. "No ogling my sister while I'm gone." He said to them before heading inside.

"We would never!" Kili said before turning to his brothers. "What's ogling mean?" Fili shrugged.

Once the pool was ready for swimming and the dwarves all had either trunks or basketball shorts Linda broke out the pool noodles, floating chair and beach ball. Bilbo sat on the side of the pool, far from the water, in a pool chair with a book. Half the dwarves jumped into the water with no delay, splashing those who hadn't. Thorin shook his head with an amused smile as he, Dwalin, Balin, Dori, Gloin, and Oin got into the water. Tony did a cannon ball before popping up and splashing Ori who squeaked and splashed him back.

"Aren't you coming in, Linda?" Kili called.

"Yep." Linda put the floating chair in the water and got on.

"That's no fun." Fili said. The two came up beside her as she floated away from the edge.

"I wanna try to get a bit of a tan before getting in." she said. Kili leaned his arms on the bottom of it and laid his head on his arms by her legs.

"I think your skin is beautiful the way it is now." He said with a smile before looking at the leg right by his face. "Just perfect." He said before looking back at her and winking.

"I agree." Fili said as he came up by the small armrest on her other side. "I wouldn't change a thing." He said giving her a smirk.

"I do however think she looks a little too dry." Kili said turning to smirk at his brother.

"I agree with that also." Fili said. The two shared a look. Linda's eyes widened.

"Don't you dare-!" Linda was cut off by her own squeal as the brothers turned the chair over making her fall into the water. She popped up with a gasp and smacked water at Fili who was closest. The other dwarves laughed as she pushed her hair out of her face. Kili laughed the loudest until Linda grabbed one of the pool noodles and bopped him on the head.

"Oh, you shouldn't have done that, luv." Kili said as he grabbed one, tossed to him by Toby.

"Toby you traitor!" Linda gasped as she blocked a swing from Kili.

"Thorin!" Fili called. Thorin nodded and tossed Fili a noodle.

"Get her, Fee!" Kili said with a laugh. Fili slipped an arm around Linda who squeaked but he moved her behind him.

"I'll protect you princess." He said to her with a wink. Linda laughed as Kili looked absolutely betrayed.

"Fili, how could you?!" he gasped. He turned to Toby. "Toby!"

"Yeah!" Toby moved over to him with his own noodle. Toby and Fili wacked at each other while Kili went under the water. Linda, who didn't see him to that, looked around.

"Fili, where did Kee-!" She squeaked as she was cut off by Kili pulling her down under the water. He grinned at her under the water and gave her a quick chaste kiss before they popped up out of the water. Linda put her hands on Kili's shoulders as he kept his arms around her waist to hold her up.

"Kili! Don't fraternize with the enemy!" Toby shouted.

"You don't even know what that word means!" Linda shouted back with a laugh.

"Linda!" Fili shouted.

"We've formed an alliance." Kili said with a grin as he kept his eyes on Linda. She splashed water at him. He laughed before he fell back into the water. Since he was still holding onto Linda she came under with him. He attempted to kiss her again but she slipped out of his arms and swam to the other end of the pool. She popped back out of the water.

"Hello." Bofur said with a smile. Kili popped up out of the water at the other end.

"Hey!" The dwarves around Linda all laughed.

"Hey where's the ball-?" Linda blinked as the ball hit her on the head.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Ori squeaked.

"It's fine, sweetie." Linda said.

"Linda! Can you set up the volleyball net?" Toby asked.

"Great idea!" Linda said before moving to the ladder to get out.

"What's volleyball?" Nori asked.

While Linda went to the garage to get the next Toby explained volleyball. When she came back Toby got out to help her set it up.

"Alright, Linda, you're one team captain and I'll be the other. We're going to decide teams by each of us taking turns picking one of you."

"Alright, Toby, you can go first."

"Kili!" Toby shouted with a grin.

"Nooo!" Kili whined as he slowly moved over to Toby's side.

"Then I take Fili." Linda said. Fili grinned as he moved next to her.

"Hello, princess."

"Thorin!" Toby called with a grin before sticking his tongue out at Linda.

"Dwalin." Linda said as she crossed her arms.

"Bofur!"

"Nori."

"Gloin!"

"Bifur."

"Bombur!"

"Ori."

"Dori!"

"Wait there's an odd number."

"That's okay." Balin said as he raised a hand. "I'll sit this one out."

"Alright then you get Oin." Toby said. "We gunna bet anything?" he asked with a grin.

"Like what?" Linda asked.

"Hmm… how about if my team wins… you and your team have to wait on us hand and foot for a week." Toby said with a smirk.

"And if my team wins…" Linda started. Nori moved over to her and whispered something. "You and your team have to do all of the house work for a month."

"You're on." Toby said. There were a few protests from each side from a few of the dwarves but they all got into position to play.


"Game!" Linda said as her team cheered. Toby started to pout as his team grumbled. Fili picked Linda up in the water and spun around before letting them fall back into the water.

"Come on." Toby whined. "I had Thorin and Gloin."

"Well we had Dwalin and Bifur." Linda said before kissing each dwarf on the cheek. Dwalin immediately grumbled, crossed his arms and turned away while Bifur blinked and started speaking loudly in dwarvish. Linda laughed as both looked rather flustered.


I just kept typing until I couldn't think of anything else to add. It is by no means warm enough where I am to go out swimming but I've had this idea in my head for a while.
