"Alright everyone, gather round!" Thorin yelled. "Master Baggins has something to say."

"Uh yes, well I was thinking...if we want to get out of here we should get more information about this place." Bilbo began. "And the best way to do this is to blend in with the humans."

"And how will we do this?" Gloin asked.

"We will dress like human children, as we are their height."

"Human children don't have beards, do they?" Dwalin asked.

"No so therefore I will go along with Fili, Kili and Thorin, if he wishes too that is."

"I have a beard!" Thorin growled.

All dwarves shifted around uncomfortably and all eyes were occupied by something else.

"Uh...well yes." Bilbo stuttered.

"Oh come on uncle, it's the smallest of all, no one will notice!" Kili bravely stated.

"Alright than...for the safety of my family I will come along."

And so Bilbo left the others to come back half an hour later with four sets of clothes.

"This is what human children wear?" Thorin asked.

"Yep, just like in one of my books."

"Alright, Kili and I are going to the left and you hobbit will go with Fili to the right." "That way we will gather more information."

"Be careful!" Balin called after them before quickly returning to the shadows of the small alley they hid in.

"Bring some pizza!" Bombur chimed in.

Bilbo and Fili

"We certainly do get a lot of attention..." Bilbo said.

Everyone was looking strangely at them.

"They're just jealous of our awesome clothing." Fili said.

He stroke his light green sleeve right.

"Perhaps we should take the hats off." Bilbo said while doing it. "They must be too bold."

He looked at the red and green pointy hat with a frown.

"Suite yourself master Baggins, I like my hat."

"Heey losers, it's not Christmas anymore!" A human called at them.

"Christmas, what's that?" Fili asked.

"Well it's a feast in the winter where all the children get presents from Santa Clause, I think he's a wizard, and his helpers...oh no."

Bilbo stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"I just remembered what book I read..."

Fili shot him a questioning look.

"The Night Before Christmas..."

Thorin and Kili

"Human children dress weird."

Thorin sighed. "Would you stop plucking your vest?"

"It's itchy."

"Oy dumb heads, think you're in the wrong country! A human teenager called out, making his friends laugh.

"Yes thank god, do you know the way to Middle Earth?" Kili shouted.

The teen looked in confusion and walked on.

"How rude!" Kili muttered.

Thorin just groaned. He had enough of this strange place and the strange clothes looked ridiculous, not to mention the legging wasn't quite comfortable.

They walked on and on without really having a goal.

"Should we go back?" Kili asked.

"Yes I think that's wise."

They had just turned around when they saw the human teenager again only now in front of them.

"Hey if it isn't Santa's little ugly dwarfs!"

"No these are elves, dwarfs have beards!" His equally annoying friend said.

Thorin snapped. Kili did as well.

"And who is Santa?" Kili asked when they walked away, leaving the two teens tied up in a tree.

Back at the alley

"And, got some information about this mad country?" Balin asked.

"Yes, the humans here are crazy." Kili said. "They called us elves."

"Probably because you don't have your beard yet." Bombur said.

Thorin shot him his darkest glare ever.

"Hello there." Bilbo sounded behind them.

"Ah please tell us you have some information." Gloin said.

"Unfortunately not." The hobbit said.

"This was a waste of time." Balin sighed.

"Depends...found any pizza?" Bombur asked innocently.
