AN: ITS. NOT. PEDOPHILIA. KK?
Hi." Steffie grinned, as she and Kili walked over to the couch. "MY name's Steffie."
"I'm Kili." Kili grinned.
"Hi," Steffie laughed shyly.
"Hi!" Kili laughed.
"Oh, is that a bow? Do you like archery?" Steffie asked softly, picking up the bow and plucking the string.
"Yeah, Kili smiled. "I'm really good."
"I'm better." Steffie replied. "I was an expert archer at school."
"Cool." Kili smiled. His brother walked up and pulled on his arm. "Kili. Kili, come on. We have to help with the table." His brother didn't spare him a glance. "Go away Fili, I'm talking to Steffie."
"But Kili-"
"Go away, we're busy." Steffie looked up at him with a charning smile. Fili shrugged and walked into the kitchen.
"That was your brother?" Steffie asked.
"Yeah, he's sort of annoying. He follows me everywhere. I just want to be alone to talk to someone for awhile."
"We could go upstairs. It's getting sort of crowded here." Steffie suggested as a bundle of new dwarfs walked in to the room."
"Okay." Kili replied and followed Steffie up the stairs.

Fili took a seat at the kitchen table, where Meredilla was sitting reading a book. Realizing that he had never seen her before either, he stared at her for a moment, hoping she'd look up. When she didn't, he claered his throat and tapped her on the shoulder. Meredilla finally looked up. She was wearing her reading glasees and her hair, which had now pretty much dried from the water, frizzed slightly around her head.
"Oh. Hi." She said, her face blank.
"Hello," Fili greeted her. "Not to be rude, but are you friends with the girl who just took my brother upstairs?"
Meredilla muttered something nasty before turning her attention back to Fili. "Uh, yeah, that's my sister." She rolled her eyes. "I'm Meredilla."
"Fili, at your service." Smiled Fili, bowing politely.
"You do that a lot? Bow and stuff?" Meredilla asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Umm, yes..."
"Oh, it's not anything bad," She assured him, "It's just that where I'm from, people don't do that much."
"Where are you from?" Fili asked pointedly, realising he knew nothing about the sisters.
"Uhh..." Meredilla hesitated. "Ask my sister."
"Ah, yes, speaking of your sister, would you mind distracting her so I can reclaim my brother? She seems to have enchanted him." Fili commented, only half-joking. Meredilla snorted.
"Yeah, him and everyone else in the room. I find that my sister has that effect on people. As soon as you make eye contact with her- poof, like putty in her hands. It's really scary. Seriously, she makes people's eyes glaze over and they do whatever she says. It's creepy, almost." She laughed softly before continuing.
"I blame it all on her looks. I'm the smart one, but Stefanie's the pretty one. Everyone loves her, and no one spares me a second glance. She's just to pretty for her own good. I don't have any of her special hypno-hottie powers."
"Sounds horrible, being overshadowed by your sister like that." Fili commented with a sad frown.
"That never happens with your brother?" Meredilla asked in surprise. She had figured that it was totes normal with everybody.
"No. I don't think so, at least." Fili replied, grabbing two random apples that someone had thrown across the room and taking a huge bite out of one, handing the other one to Meredilla, who thanked him before continuing.
"I hate my sister sometimes. She's really mean. Trust me, as long as she's around, your brother won't be the same."
Fili snapped to attention, staring at her intentl. Meredilla felt a little intimitated under the dwarfs intense stare. "Do you think he could be in actual danger?"
"If my sister set her sights on him? God yes, Being loved by her is like the kiss of death. She's had six boyfriends, and they all died right before they were supposed to propose. Super tragic, rally. She was heartbroken over each one of them... For about a week, at least."
"How old is she?"
"Sixteen."
Fili coughed in surprise, and Meredilla shrugged. "I'm fourteen, so... How old are you?
"Older than that." Fili replied. "How long do her courtships LAST?"
"Uhh... A week, about. A month, if we're super lucky. She says it's super romantic true love, but I'm not sure." Meredilla grinned bitterly, standing up and sitting down again. "Your brother is doomed, sorry to say."
Fili frowned, seeming to be thinking intently. Just as Meredilla began to read again, he spoke. "If we were to... Get rid of her..."
Meredilla's eyes lit up. "Like... Send her back? How would we do that?"
"Yes," Fili affirmated. That's the question. How..."
Meredilla gasped suddenly. "I know... We have to kill Steffie."
