A Bag-End Party
I don't own Digimon or The Hobbit
"We are gathered here today in honour of the deaths of both Smaug the Horrible and Azog the Destroyer!" Fili announced as the audience all clapped in celebration. "However, we are also here to celebrate the return of the Dwarven King of the Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield!"
Thorin, who was wearing the clothes of his ancestors, walked down the carpet and to the throne of the Dwarf King as he turned to face the crowd, and kneeled as Kili placed the crown on his head.
"Here you are, uncle." Kili said proudly and a few tears of joy in his eyes, which made Thorin smile gently and wipe the tears away.
"Do not cry, my boy. Save those tears for your marriage." Thorin said gently and chuckled when Kili blushed ten shades of red before turning to the crowd. "Today is the start of a new age for the Dwarves of Erebor! Our home is reclaimed, so let us now rebuild it and Dale to their former glory!"
(The Next Day)
"Easy there, Bulfor! Don't pull too fast!" A person of Lake Town called to a dwarf who was trying to pull a log up quickly, but the rope snapped and caused Bulfor to fall backward into the pigpens.
"Ah, bugger!" Bulfor swore and pushed back a pig, while the Lake Town person, Bob, chuckled and helped him out.
"Looks like repairs are going well, eh, Bard?" Thorin asked as he and Bard over looked the reconstruction of Lake Town, which was looking much bigger than before.
"Ay, my friend. Lake Town is looking better than she has in years, and for that, I am eternally grateful to you and your kin for helping." The man said with a smile, which was returned as a cough caught the attention of the two males and they turned to see Daisuke walk toward them, and she had her hands behind her back.
"What it be, lass? Is something with Kili or Veemon?" Thorin asked as Daisuke smiled slightly.
"Well, first off, close your eyes." She stated and the Dwarf King nodded, doing so as his mind began to swirl with thoughts and Daisuke moved her arms from behind her back, which made Bard's eyes widen as a kind and amused grin formed on his face, and placed something in the King's hands. "Okay, you can open your eyes now."
Thorin opened his eyes and looked at what he was given, eyes widening in shock and awe at the sight of what was given to him.
It was a flag with green and white colouring, blue tassels hanging off the far end as Thorin took note of the silver Dwarf emblem inhabiting the upper left corner and the Crest of Miracles sitting gently in the bottom right corner with a shimmering gold, while a heart in ruby red sat between the two.
"Daisuke, did you...?" Thorin trailed off as he caught sight of the multiple bandages on the girl's fingers.
"Dori and I were working on this since the coronation, and we had just finished last night while all of you were asleep." Daisuke explained before she saw a pair of figures in the distance. "Also, you may want to catch up with Gandalf and Bilbo before they leave."
Thorin and Bard turned to see the shadowed figures of the two aforementioned members of their Company walking away, and Thorin nodded before running off as Bard smiled.
"I'd say that things are going to get interesting in the later years, my dear." He said and Daisuke nodded before heading back to Lake Town when Kili and Veemon started shouting profanities when a roof fell on their heads.
"Are you sure you wish to leave now Bilbo? You haven't said goodbye to the others," Gandalf said to Bilbo who had a backpack on his back and coat over his shoulders as both walked over a hill and looked back at Erebor.
"I'm sure. I finished what I set out to do, besides I'm sure the others won't notice I'm gone." He replied sadly and Gandalf sighed softly.
"As if we'd ever not notice our friend was gone," both looked back to see Daisuke and the rest of the company walking towards them with several ponies plus two horses behind them. "You weren't thinking of leaving without saying goodbye, were you?" she asked the Hobbit.
"You're all busy with rebuilding Erebor and Lake-Town, I didn't want to take up any of your time." he answered as Thorin patted him on the shoulder.
"We will always have time for a friend Master Baggins, now come on. It'll be Durin's Day by the time we return to the Shire at this rate." He said as Fili and Kili pulled Bilbo onto his pony, Gandalf and Daisuke with Veemon on her back climbed onto their horses and the others got onto their ponies.
"Who is looking after Erebor, what's to stop someone from taking over?" Bilbo asked.
"Dain will handle things with Bard until we get back, do not worry. My cousin may be a bit thick at times, but he knows better than to usurp me especially after I have been crowned." Thorin answered with a smirk, the others chuckled and set off back to where their quest had begun thirteen months ago.
The journey seemed to be quicker than last time, but that probably because they were not being hunted by a pack of Orcs, so now they had each other's company and shared stories and laughter but as they circled around Mirkwood they all were tense on the chance Thranduil's Elves would make up an excuse to attack them.
Soon they reached the borders of the Shire and stopped as they took in the sight. "Home," Bilbo whispered shedding a tear before he wiped his eyes.
"The Borders of the Shire, it is here where I must leave you all." Gandalf said making the company look at him once they all climbed off their mounts and tied them to the trees.
"What do you mean?" Daisuke asked. "We've not finished our journey yet." Gandalf looked at her curiously and she smiled. "We started our journey together at Bag-End, it's where we should finish it together."
"She's got a point Gandalf," Kili said with a smile and the rest of the company nodded and Gandalf looked at them all and he smiled.
"Very well, I could do with some food after such a long journey after all." He said and the company cheered.
"You know I quite like having a wizard around, it seems they bring good luck." Veemon commented and everyone chuckled at that.
"I think Daisuke was our source of luck," Balin said and Daisuke blushed at the praise before she saw Gandalf look at her.
"You don't really suppose, do you, that all of our adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck?" he said and the Dwarves all glanced at each other suddenly interested in what the wizard had to say as Daisuke had a feeling what he meant.
"Magic rings should not be used lightly, Daisuke." he said and everyone looked at Daisuke whose hand was in her pocket her finger brushing against the ring as she opened her mouth but Gandalf spoke again. "Do not take me for a fool. I know you found on in the Goblin Tunnels when you and Bilbo were separated from the others. And I've kept my eye on you ever since."
"You don't need to worry about it anymore, I lost the ring. Fell out of my pocket during the battle against Azog, it probably fell into water when the ice broke, I doubt anyone will find it." Daisuke lied smoothly, and everyone looked at her.
"Well that explains how we got out of Mirkwood," Thorin said.
"And also, how you were able to hide from Smaug for a bit, I just thought you were as good at hiding as I was." Bilbo said with a smile and Daisuke nodded and the company walked off towards Bag-End.
"Uh Dai, the ring is still in your pocket," Kili whispered to her as they stopped for a moment and Daisuke looked at him. "I saw you look at it on the way here when nobody else was looking."
"Keep it a secret Kili, please. I don't think anyone else should know about it." Daisuke whispered and Kili nodded pressing his lips to her forehead.
"Alright, just promise you won't use it again. Something about it feels off to me."
"I will." Daisuke kissed his cheek, and both walked off hand in hand to catch up to the others.
"So has anything changed since you were last here Bilbo?" Fili asked the Hobbit as they walked down the road towards Bag-End and everyone could practically see the joy coming from Bilbo as he set sight on his home.
"No. Everything is the same, though I still don't know why we had to make a detour to the troll hoard, everything in there will reek of troll for the next forty years." Bilbo groaned looking at the small chest full of gold and silver from the troll hoard that Gloin was carrying for him.
"We couldn't let you leave without anything. Especially after you gave up your share of the treasure." Gloin said as Dwalin laughed.
"His share would have filled his house to the brim and probably several more houses like it." he said and the others laughed until Daisuke noticed two Hobbits walking past carrying Bilbo's mother's glory box.
"Hey!" she shouted walking to the two stunned Hobbits and she took it from them. "Just what do you think you're doing with this?"
"We bought it," one of the two Hobbits said nervously.
"Bought it, from where?" Bilbo demanded.
"From Bag-End sir, they're selling off all of Mr Baggins' possessions on account of him being…well dead," the other Hobbit informed him and Bilbo frowned and raced towards Bag-End with the rest of the company including Gandalf grabbing the items from other Hobbits as they passed sending the small folk fleeing in fear and some even in tears.
"Stop! Stop! There's been some mistake!" Bilbo shouted as he reached Bag-End causing the crowd of Hobbits to mutter as one female Hobbit walked up to him and everyone nearly mistook her for an Orc given the hideous colour of her clothes plus the hat on her head that resembled a turkey.
"And just who are you?" she asked in a snobbish voice, Bilbo looked at the woman who had a basket full of pillows, doilies and silver spoons and he glared.
"Who am I? You know who I am Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, this is my home!" he shouted as he grabbed the basket from her. "And these are my pillows, doilies and spoons thank you very much."
"And how can you prove that you are in fact Master Baggins…and no longer deceased?" the auctioneer asked Bilbo who dug into his coat and pulled out the contract he signed when he began the quest.
"This should suffice, it has my name on it plus the name of the one who I was with these past thirteen months." He told him walking to the door of Bag-End and he opened it.
"Everything appears to be in order…but who is this Thorin Oakenshield?" the auctioneer asked him as Thorin stepped forward.
"That would be me." He said.
"He is Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror, King Under the Mountain." Dwalin added standing beside his king and the crowd of Hobbits all began muttering to themselves before they all left some rather reluctantly and Bilbo sighed in relief.
"That's a rather eventful way to return home don't you think?" Gandalf asked the Hobbit who nodded and they all entered Bag-End and saw it was a mess and Bilbo sighed.
"It's going to take me days to clean this up." He mumbled before Daisuke placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Not if we all pitch in." she reminded him and the others smiled and set about cleaning up the house along with returning everything that had been taken.
"That's everything," Veemon said as he hung a picture of Bilbo's father and mother back on the wall, Bilbo smiled and looked around at his home to see it was now back to the splendour it once was.
"I don't know what to say," he whispered wiping more tears of joy from his eyes.
"You don't need to say anything," Daisuke told him with a smile as the door opened and Fili, Kili, Bombur, Bofur and Ori walked through carrying baskets of food. "Now how about we have something to eat, we all know how much Dwarves can eat when hungry."
"Aye lass, but why'd you ask us to buy some of this stuff?" Bofur asked handing Daisuke the list she had made for them.
"Well I thought I'd make something I'm sure you'll all love, come on Bilbo let's get to work." She said and her friend nodded and the food was carried into the kitchen with Bombur following to both help and learn new recipes.
By the time they had finished cooking it was too late for second breakfast, but it certainly would be a luncheon the company would remember forever. "By Durin what a spread," Balin said as the table was full of various dishes and foods and everyone had managed to fit into the dining hall.
"But what is this slop?" Dwalin asked looking at a bowl in front of him that had to him and the other Dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf strange stringy things floating in broth.
"Ramen," Veemon answered picking up a pair of chopsticks and he began to slurp up the noddles easily, the company shared a look before they too grabbed their chopsticks but almost immediately they slipped from their hands when they tried to eat the noodles.
"How do you use these things?" Kili asked Daisuke who was using the chopsticks in her hand with ease and she giggled.
"Secret," she chirped but the company all pouted making her roll her eyes. "Alright, give them here." she took the chopsticks and soon handed them back to others only now the chopsticks had a piece of rolled up paper and a hair tie around them. "Try it now." The company shrugged and did so and slurped the noddles slowly before their eyes all widened and lit up.
"Do you like?" Veemon asked with a grin that Daisuke shared as the company began slurping up the noddles while Gandalf chuckled and did so at a slower pace.
"I think they do," Daisuke chirped giggling with her partner joining in watching as the Dwarves slurped down the rest of the broth and they all sighed happily.
"I've never tasted anything like that before," Fili said making the company nod in agreement. "Brother, you better not do anything stupid otherwise she won't make us any more of this ramen." He said to Kili making both he and Daisuke blush.
"I don't think the lad will be that daft," Balin said with a smile, the others chuckled and continued eating until Bilbo cut the chocolate cake Daisuke had made into even pieces and the company devoured the cake and they all enjoyed the taste.
"Bombur you better have the recipe for that cake," Bofur said cleaning his plate of crumbs, Thorin saw there was one last piece of cake and he reached for it until Dwalin grabbed his wrist.
"What do you think you're doing?" he growled, everyone else gulped and moved away from the two Dwarves sensing fists were about to fly.
"I don't see your name on the slice." Thorin said.
"Well I don't see your name on it either," Dwalin growled grabbing the plate before Thorin tackled him and the two Dwarves began to roll around on the floor as the others all sighed.
"All this over a slice of cake?" Dori asked.
"It's good cake though," Nori answered before he saw the last slice had vanished and everyone noticed except the brawling Dwalin and Thorin and heard a loud burp and turned to see Ori covering his mouth as he cleaned the crumbs off his shirt and the company laughed loudly except Thorin and Dwalin who growled at the young Dwarf.
"Peace Uncle, I'm sure Daisuke will make more chocolate cake when we get back to Erebor." Fili told him.
"Where is she anyway?" Bilbo asked noticing her chair was empty and Kili's chair also was empty. "And Kili's missing too."
"They better not be doing anything like that yet." Dwalin grumbled.
"They are young, let them act their age." Balin told his brother with a smile, the others chuckled while outside Daisuke sat down on the bench and was joined by Kili and she rested her head on his shoulder and sighed softly.
"This is beautiful. Do you think we'd be allowed to have a house here? It could be sort of like a holiday home." she said as Kili chuckled.
"I'll ask Uncle about it, but knowing him he'll be alright with it." he said and Daisuke nodded as he kissed her forehead. "We could ask Bilbo if any houses are for sale or are currently empty."
"Good idea, come on let's go inside before the others break something of Bilbo's by mistake." Daisuke said and Kili nodded, both walked to the door before Kili pulled her into a kiss and she returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck, both were so into the kiss they missed the door open and an audience gather until they broke away for breath and head Veemon cough, they blushed and saw him and the rest of the company looking at them, all smiling except Veemon who was glaring holes through Kili's skull.
"You listen here pal, Daisuke's my best friend if you hurt her at all or give me a reason I will kick your butt until the cows come home." he threatened with a growl before Daisuke hit him on the head.
"Vee! He's not going to hurt me like that," she told him before she smiled. "And even if he did I'd remove what makes him a man and ensure that Fili would be the only one to have kids." She smiled sweetly at Kili who shuddered and instinctively covered his crotch as the others laughed. "Come on you guys we've got to clean all the dishes for Bilbo."
"That's a relief, I was worried I'd be up all-night cleaning if you guys didn't." Bilbo said.
"Like we'd let our friend do such a task alone." Bofur said as they all walked back into Bag-End and began to clean the dishes like that had done the last time they were there, and this time Bilbo laughed and joined in the song and dance knowing his dishes were in safe hands.
Once the dishes had been cleaned and stacks neatly on the kitchen table it was now night, and everyone sat around the campfire with Gandalf, Bilbo and Thorin smoking their pipes as the others talked quietly amongst themselves.
"it's going to be lonely without you guys around." Bilbo said.
"You can come visit us, or send letters." Ori told him with a smile.
"I could do that, perhaps I'll come visit every so often. To see Erebor in its full glory in person." He said and the others nodded.
"I say we sing again, like the last time we were here." Fili suggested and the others all shared a look and nodded.
"Don't look at me." Daisuke quickly said leaning into Kili with a smile.
"Don't worry lass, this song we all know by heart." Thorin said. The room fell silent before the company began humming until Thorin sang.
"The world was young, the mountains green,
No stain yet on the Moon was seen,
No words were laid on stream or stone
When Durin woke and walked alone."
"He named the nameless hills and dells;
He drank from yet untasted wells;
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere,
And saw a crown of stars appear,
As gems upon a silver thread,
Above the shadows of his head." The rest of the company stood up and began to sing along as Daisuke moved beside Bilbo, Veemon and Gandalf.
"The world was fair, the mountains tall,
In Elder Days before the fall
Of mighty kings in Nargothrond
And Gondolin, who now beyond.
The Western Seas have passed away:
The world was fair in Durin's Day."
"A king he was on carven throne
In many-pillared halls of stone
With golden roof and silver floor,
And runes of power upon the door."
"The light of sun and star and moon
In shining lamps of crystal hewn
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night
There shone forever fair and bright."
"There hammer on the anvil smote,
There chisel clove, and graver wrote;
There forged was blade, and bound was hilt;
The delver mined, the mason built."
"There beryl, pearl, and opal pale,
And metal wrought like fishes' mail,
Buckler and corslet, axe and sword,
And shining spears were laid in hoard."
"Unwearied then were Durin's folk;
Beneath the mountains music woke:
The harpers harped, the minstrels sang,
And at the gates the trumpets rang."
"The world is grey, the mountains old,
The forge's fire is ashen-cold;
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls:
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls;
The shadow lies upon his tomb
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm.
But still the sunken stars appear
In dark and windless Mirrormere;
There lies his crown in water deep,
Till Durin wakes again from sleep." The Dwarves stopped singing as Daisuke, Veemon, Bilbo and Gandalf were silent.
"Wow," Daisuke finally whispered in awe. "That was beautiful." The Dwarves smiled and bowed their heads slightly at her compliment.
"That song is known by all Durin's folk, to remind us of where we come from." Balin explained softly.
"I believe it is time we turn in for the night," Gandalf said softly putting out his pipe.
"Good idea, you can all share the guest rooms. There should be enough," Bilbo told his friends who all nodded and walked off and Kili kissed Daisuke's cheek.
"Goodnight," he whispered and she blushed and nodded. The next morning the company had had a small breakfast and were all gathered outside Bag-End.
"Remember that if you are ever around, tea is at four. There's plenty of it," Bilbo told them and they smiled as Thorin pulled him into a hug like he did when they were atop the Carrock.
"Farewell Master Burglar, plant your trees, watch them grow." He whispered and Bilbo hugged back and the others smiled at the sight as the two friends ended the hug and both shed tears.
"I will, goodbye Thorin." Daisuke stepped forward and hugged Bilbo with a smile.
"See you around Bilbo, don't forget to visit or write." Bilbo nodded and returned the hug before the rest of the company decided to join the hug while Gandalf chuckled and once the others had ended their embrace he walked towards Bilbo.
"Farewell my dear Hobbit." He said gently shaking Bilbo's hand. "Look after yourself."
"Don't worry, I don't plan on going on an adventure by myself without you Gandalf," Bilbo said with a smile and the wizard nodded before he nodded to the others.
"Goodbye for now Gandalf." Daisuke said as she, Veemon and the Dwarves all walked off waving to him and Bilbo who waved back and soon they had mounted their ponies or horse and were heading back to Erebor.
"Let us hope another dragon has not attacked Erebor while we were gone." Bofur said with a chuckle.
"If one did, you're going to be the first to enter the mountain while we are all backup." Fili told him before he and the rest of the company began laughing, Daisuke giggled before she leaned down from her horse and kissed Kili on the lips gently before she rode ahead with a chuckle.
"Hey!" Kili shouted spurring his pony to trot after her.
"Things are definitely going to be interesting from now on," Balin told Thorin who nodded.
"Aye, let us hope they won't drive us mad." He replied.
Ten Years Later
"And so the company of Thorin Oakenshield left the Shire behind once more, only without their dear friend Bilbo Baggins and returned to Erebor. And over the next ten years the company remained close, Erebor was rebuilt as were Dale and Lake-Town." Daisuke who was now twenty-nine years old said as she read a storybook to a seven-year-old girl who had her mother's hair colour but with unmistakable blue eyes of her father.
"Wow. Did that really all happen mama?" the girl asked and Daisuke chuckled.
"Yes Athena, word for word. Though some bits may be exaggerated by your father or uncle." She said.
"You mean when papa said you were being held captive by the three trolls and he rushed in alone and saved you heroically and swept you off your feet?" Athena asked her mother and Daisuke snorted.
"Yes just like that, now it's time for bed sweetie. Where is your brother Frerin?" she asked.
"He went with papa to the forges," Athena answered and Daisuke frowned.
"Oh that boy. He's too young to be at the forges, he could get himself hurt." She said before hearing a soft chuckle coming from the door and she and Athena saw Veemon walk into the room followed by Kili who held a ten-year-old boy in his arms that had his father's hair colour but his mother's eyes and Daisuke sighed in relief.
"He only pumped the bellows my love, I would never let him work the forge so young." He told her.
"I know. But he gets his sneaking out habit from you, why couldn't he be more well behaved like me?" Daisuke asked and Veemon and Kili snorted and giggled.
"Didn't you chase me around with your sword last week?" Kili asked his wife who smirked.
"Hm I don't recall that ever happening," she said making Kili glare at her smirk before he pulled her into a kiss and she blushed.
"I see, come on it's time to tuck our son into bed." He whispered walking to the bedroom and Daisuke followed and both saw Athena reading a book with a smile.
"What're you reading?" Veemon asked her.
"The book Uncle Bilbo gave me during his last visit." She chirped holding the book up to her parents who smiled.
"That's great, I'm sure Bilbo will love to hear you like your present. Now time for bed, you can read the rest of it in the morning." Daisuke said tucking her daughter in and taking the book from her. "Goodnight sweetie," she whispered kissing Athena's forehead.
"Night mama," she replied closing her eyes as Kili tucked Frerin into his bed and kissed his forehead.
"Goodnight son," he whispered as the young Dwarf yawned before falling asleep. Daisuke and Kili smiled at their children before leaving the room with Veemon and headed for their bedroom.
"Goodnight you guys," Veemon said with a smile as he walked into his own room leaving the husband and wife to enter their bedroom and get ready for bed.
"Hard to think our adventure was only ten years ago, it feels longer." Daisuke said as Kili pulled her into him.
"It does, but we're together and I wouldn't change anything." He told her and she blushed and kissed him on the lips.
"Neither would I, goodnight my love," she said.
"Goodnight Daisuke," Kili replied as both fell asleep in one another's embrace while Daisuke's D-3, D-Terminal and her ring laid on her chest of drawers in a lock-box.
