"Woooaaah…" The entire company of Thorin Oakenshield let out.
They were standing in front of a large building with bright neon letters on top of it.
"Ci...ne...ma." Balin read out. "What does that mean master Baggins?"
"I have absolutely no idea." Bilbo said.
"I want to go in." Kili said with a bright smile on his face.
"Me too." Nori said.
"Very well we shall investigate this strange Cinema." Thorin, who was curious himself, said.
The thirteen dwarves and Bilbo walked in.
"Good afternoon, can I help you?"
Bilbo froze, the rest of the group was already at the end of the corridor so it was clearly the voice was speaking to him.
"Uhm little boy?"
The hobbit looked up to see a woman sitting behind a glass screen.
"Uh...I was just..."
"Looking for a good movie?" The woman said nicely.
Bilbo frowned. He didn't read about a movie.
"I'd recommend The Smurfs and you're lucky, children don't have to pay this week!"
Bilbo just decided to nod and smile. This woman was obviously crazy, talking about smurfs whatever that might be.
"Just head to hall 3 very simple to find it's the only door that's open."
Bilbo nodded and smiled again before quickly heading towards the others. Surprisingly enough they were already at hall 3.
"Ah hobbit, where have you been?" Dwalin asked.
"Doesn't matter, we have to leave!" "That woman at the entrance is crazy!"
"Do not stress master Baggins, we have just arrived." Thorin said.
They entered hall 3, they were the only ones there. The hall was filled with chairs pointing to a huge...something."
"Just chairs?" Fili asked.
"I don't mind!" Bombur said as he walked to the middle of the hall and stopped in front of one.
After several minutes of struggling and cursing he managed to get the bottom piece down and sit. Disappointed and confused, the others followed his example.
"Quite comfy." Kili said approvingly. "
"Not as good as last night was it Kili?" Fili said.
"What?" Their uncle immediately came in between.
Both brothers had a 'we're busted' expression.
"Well...last night I woke up thirsty." Kili said.
"And as a good brother I went with him." Fili chimed in.
"Then we ran into another hobbit." Kili said.
"Another hobbit?" Bilbo asked surprised and leaned towards Fili.
"Yes, a bit taller than we, bare feet with a lot of hair." Fili said.
"Sounds like one." Bilbo muttered.
"So anyway, we asked him the way back to Middle Earth and if he by any chance knew you."
"And what did he say?" Dwalin asked.
"He took some weird small device, pushed some buttons than talked into it." Kili said.
"Next thing we know a white, large car appeared and two men in white clothes took us with them." Fili said.
"What!" Thorin growled.
"How did you come back?" Dori asked impressed.
"Oooh they were very nice to us." Kili said. "They took us to a room with soft walls and dressed us in warm blankets, though it was hard to move."
"It got bored at some point so we just left." Fili shrugged.
"Don't you dare leave without my permission ever again." Thorin said.
"Yes uncle..."
They heard footsteps behind them and when they turned around they saw a man walking towards them.
"Good afternoon boys." The man said.
The dwarves immediately looked at Bilbo.
"Uhm...hello."
"Would you like to sit at the back?" The man asked. "You're the only ones during this movie so you can sit wherever you want."
"The back?" Thorin scowled. "I, Thorin Oakenshield soon to be King under the Mountain will not sit at the back, we will sit at the front!"
And so several minutes later the movie began, with fourteen figures sitting at the front row.
"So...this gigantic blanket is going to tell us a story?' Bifur asked.
"I believe so." Bilbo said.
The lights went down and all the sudden a bright light appeared from the blanket, with equally loud noise.
"Aaaaah I don't like this story!" Bifur yelled.
"I want to go back to the soft wall room!" Kili screamed.
"It's too late, they've closed the doors, we're trapped!" Thorin yelled as well.
Chaos followed.
Five minutes later
"It's actually not so bad once you're used to it..." Bifur whispered.
"Yes this is quite enjoyable." Thorin said.
"I don't get it, so the blue guys and girl are Smurfs and Gargamel is an evil wizard?" Ori asked.
"Who is trying to find and catch them." Bilbo filled in.
"Not as interesting as our adventures." Dori snickered.
One and a half hour later
Fourteen frozen figures with large eyes and open mouths.
"We must find the Smurfs." Thorin with a creepy good impression of Gargamel. "Only they have the knowledge and power to get us out of here."
