Authoress Note: Woah, two chapters in one day. I'm impressed with myself. But to tell truth, I woke up with this scene playing out in my head. Anyway, here it is, the long chapter ;}. And I have to say, I love my new hair. I just can't stop running my fingers through it. Uh, sorry, but I love it.

Enjoy!

Kili ignores this statement as they walk into the massive kitchens, that one could easily get lost in. Luckily for these boys, they've spent months here and all being big eaters, are very familiar with the large room.

"What are we doing here?" Bilbo asks, involuntary moving closer to the deep fire-pit in the center of the room.

"You, Bilbo, are in charge of making the cake."

"Cake? What cake?"

"The cake for Thorin." Fili answers.

"Why does he need a cake?"

"Because everyone needs a cake." Kili answers Bilbo, a little confused at why the halfing would ask such a question.

"No, I mean-"

"Because it's his birthday." Fili cuts Bilbo off, knowing what he was going to ask.

"Oh." Bilbo says.

"And because it's the first birthday back in Erebor, we thought the Hobbit should be able to make the best cake, you know being a Hobbit and all." Kili gestures to him.

"What?-" Bilbo tries to say, as Fili announces, "I have to go. I leave this task in your very capable hands." He says nodding to Bilbo, as he exits the room leaving behind his brother to help.

Kili just smiles at him. "What will we be needing?"

Bilbo sighs, already rubbing at aching timples. "Uh, flour, milk, eggs, and don't forget the sugar." He calls after the dwarf who's ran into the pantry to retrieve the requests.

Bilbo walks over to a big table and grabs a clean bowl sitting there. He then goes about the kitchen getting the necessary items. Kili walks out of the storeroom, loaded down with the required ingredients, setting them down on the table, one by one.

"Have you ever made a cake before?" Bilbo asks, after everything's been set out.

"Yes." Kili answers and Bilbo silently wonders if what he really made was more a disaster, than an actual cake. "It was actually for Fili, and it was a few years ago, now. Usually Mother's the one that makes them." Kili explains.

"Right." Bilbo answers, as he begins to measure out the contents into the bowl. "I'm gonna need some water." He tells Kili, who's spins around; heading out, grabbing the bucket by the door.

As he works, he builds up a slight sweat in the hot room; which is only making his hangover worse. Kili walks back into the room as Bilbo is string in the last of the milk, causing a sticky substance to form.

"Alright, here it is." Kili says, setting down the burden. "What do you want me to do now?"

"Nothing, but to stay over there." Bilbo says, waving a hand at him. But in the process flung flour into the face of the Dwarf.

After a moment, Kili shocked face fades and instead is replaced with a dangerous look, as he slowly picks up a two eggs sitting on the wood.

Bilbo, who this whole time has been watching him with a look of horror, suddenly realizes what's about to happen as Kili takes a step toward him, eggs in hand.

"Now, Kili, I didn't mean-" But, he gives up trying to defend himself with words and turns to run as the Dwarf grabs him from behind; non to gently smashing the eggs down on his head.

He then proceeds to rub the substance into the Halfings' hair. But the fight takes a different turn, when Bilbo hits in elbow into Kili's stomach, causing the Dwarf to gasp and bend forward. With this new freedom, Bilbo does the only thing he can think of as he grabs the bowl of cake mix and dumps it all on the brunettes head. Kili gasps again as he realizes what's happened.

"Wha-?" Kili asks breathlessly; shocked at the Hobbit.

But the Halfing only takes advantage of the situation again as he rubs the mixture into the brunette's hair, before the Dwarf can stand back up fully and be to tall to reach.

Which is the next thing he does; as he all but hops to the table to grab the metal jar of flour. Bilbo turns to grab the can of milk as the Dwarf tackles him to the ground, where he dumps the flour on the Halfings' face and making sure to pat it well into the curly locks, mixing it with the egg. He's practically sitting on the Halfing as he does this, but Bilbo is not giving up the fight as he grabs handfuls of the ground grain, throwing it up into Kilis' face as well.

Kili sputters as the Hobbit does this, unable to resist the need to wipe away the ruined mess of cake batter that's falling into his eyes. But when Kili does this, it's just the thing Bilbo needs to wiggle out from under the Dwarf. As Kili stands up, Bilbo snatches up the bucket of water and is about to throw it on the brunette when Kili sees this and ducks, as Balin walks in followed close by Dwalin and Nori.

"What is this?" Dwalin asks in his deep accent.

"What happened?" Balin asks, slightly horrified.

But both questions go unanswered as the boys duck their heads in disgrace.
