Authoress Note: Well Bilbo wanted to write some more, so I'll give ya'll a quick chapter before I go and get my hair chopped! XD Oh, by the way brief references to getting drunk. It was bound to happen, but if you have little ones or are uncomfortable with it, or whatever, it's just a warning; you can decide for yourself.

Bilbo is in no mood to try and deal with this; what with having a massive hangover from the night before and feeling the cold chill running up his legs and arms and frozen fingers...

And he suddenly remembers why he wasn't much of a party animal even when he lived in Hobbiton. "I'm never doing that again." He mutters a promise to himself.

"Say, what's that?" Kili asks, turning his head to the hobbit.

"I said, where are we going?" Bilbo lies.

"Ha, now my dear Mr. Boggins, lying is most unbecoming of you." Kili says, with his arm still wrapped around the halfings' shoulders.

Bilbo tries to shrug the arm off, but he fails as he thought he would. "You know what's also unbecoming? Dragging your burglars out of bed at an untimely hour."

"But it's two in the afternoon." Fili informs him.

Bilbo stares at him, surprised.

"That's what's wrong with him today, brother. The poor Hobbit hasn't eaten since last night."

"It is indeed the explanation."

Bilbo's stomach however, disagrees with all of them and as much as Bilbo would like to snack, the tyrant of a stomach he has, just won't allow it. "Even if I wanted something, I don't think I could eat." Bilbo makes a face as his arm curls around his side.

Fili sees this and takes some pity but before he can suggest anything, Kili says, "I told you to stop while you were ahead."

Bilbo stifles at this, "Why don't you feel terrible, right now if I may know?"

"Because I didn't drink that much last night." Kili says, turning and leading him down a hall.

"Oh, how uncharacteristic of you." Bilbo mocks.

Authoress Note: ;), I know it's too short, but the next chapter will be longer, and maybe we'll get to the bottom of what the boys are planning. You think? Tell me all about it, in the review.
