Cheyenne bit her hoodie as hard as she possible could trying to hold back her tears that were causing her throat to burn. She didn't want to cry even if it was dark in the theatre, it's only a movie they aren't real she reminded herself of her friends words. She was watching The Battle of the Five Armies, the final movie in the Hobbit trilogy. She had read the book dozens of times but seeing it on the big screen was almost too much for her to handle. She watched as Fili and Kili were slain and it felt like a dagger in her heart but she managed to hold it back. However as Thorin was dying and Bilbo held him crying she lost it. The tears started to pour down her face as she clutched the key to Erebor which hung around her neck. "I would do anything to save you" she whimpered through her sobs, she continued to cry till the end of the movie.

"I liked it, I'm glad they killed the dwarves maybe that will shut the fan girls up" Cheyenne's friend Alec stated as he drove her back to her apartment.

Cheyenne brushed her red curly hair back into a ponytail, "shut up that was very painful for me."

"Why? They aren't even real" Alec retorted, rolling his eyes.

Cheyenne looked at him and scowled "well there real to me"

When she got back to her apartment, Cheyenne made herself a cup of tea in her favourite 'Hobbit' cup and sunk down into her bed. She grabbed her copy of The Hobbit and decided she would read a little before going to bed. She hadn't made it very far into the book just to the page that introduced Fili and Kili, when a tear ran down her cheek. She wiped it away but another fell and landed on the page creating a water bubble. Before she could dry it off her room was filled with a blinding light and all went white.

Did I just have a stroke? Cheyenne rubbed her throbbing head but did not open her eyes because the light burned them.

Save them a voice rang out inside her heard but the voice was not her own but before she had time to process it she heard another voice, not inside her head.

"It's a lady, is she hurt?" a gruff familiar sounding voice said

Cheyenne tried to force her eyes open and realized she was lying down, but not on her bed, on dirt. "I'm okay just a migraine but I don't remember my bed being so dirty and what are you doing in my bedroom?" she still couldn't force her eyes to open.

"Lass, I'm afraid this is not your bedroom" an older still familiar voice said.

Cheyenne bolted open her eyes letting in so much light she thought they would explode, that's when she noticed she wasn't in her room. There was a road and as she stood up she saw ponies with people riding them as she focused her eyes she realized she knew them. "Balin?" she blinked her eyes again thinking she had clearly gone mental.

"Have we met before lass?" he answered

Cheyenne refocused her eyes yep that's defiantly Balin and the rest of the dwarves for that matter. She noticed they were all staring at her in question "I'm dreaming, finally a realistic dream" she smiled.

The rest of the dwarves had dismounted their ponies and began to gather around her in the road. "I'm afraid I don't understand, are you sure you didn't hit your head" Balin asked with concern on his face.

"I'm perfectly fine, great actually I have been wanted to have a dream with you all for forever" Cheyenne walked up to Thorin was stood about the same height as her "you know I always imagined you were more intimidating, you should stop looking so grumpy all the time." Everyone looked completely shocked except for Thorin who looked murderous; Cheyenne just shrugged it off after all it was just a dream. She could wake up at anytime so why don't do everything she had ever wanted to beforehand. She walked up to Fili, he had always been her favourite, and gave him a one over before doing something she would only do if she was dreaming, kiss him. It didn't last very long because as soon as she felt the warmth of his lips she knew she wasn't dreaming. She jumped away and looked as completely shocked as he did, "you're real" she stuttered before all went black and fainted.

"Why did we bring her with us?"

"Because we couldn't just leave her in the middle of the road unconscious" it was Balin's voice. Cheyenne was coming to but tried to just not move, she just wanted to just fade into nothingness.

"She insulted Thorin and KISSED Fili" that was Kili and he made sure to emphasize the kiss, which made Cheyenne want to disappear even more. How was she supposed to know it was real any sane person would have assumed it was a dream like her. But WHY did she have to insult the most important person and kiss his nephew, her stomach lurched why did I kiss him oh my god please kill me now.

"She knew everyone, maybe we should wait until she wakes up to see what else she knows" Oh Balin, why could you not just leave me to die.

She began to open her eyes very reluctantly, only to see the entirely of the company staring at her. "Where am I?" she asked looking around in a mild panic.

"The Prancing Pony" Gandalf replied puffing on his pipe giving her a curious look

"Why am I here?" she pointed her question to him directly

"Because my dear you fainted"

"No, I mean why am I in Middle Earth" she had read a lot of fanfictions about girls being brought to Middle Earth by Gandalf, so she assumed he would be the one to tell her.

"My dear where else would you be?" Gandalf narrowed his eyes and puffed on his pipe creating a very perfect smoke ring.

"Earth? I assume you were the one who brought me here?" she tried to ignore the dwarves starting at her.

"I did not bring you anywhere, but I have been many places but never one called Earth"

Cheyenne's heart dropped and she began to panic "then why am I here?" she whispered to herself.

"What is the last thing you remember before you awoke?"

"I remember reading-"she paused deciding not to mention the books name "-a book and I began crying then I heard a voice and I woke up in the road." She pondered for a moment and spoke again, "well actually I do remember a name, the voice that spoke to me, and his name was Aulë."

"Mahal" the dwarves murmured and stared in disbelief, Gandalf sat up in his chair.

"and what did he say to you may I ask?" Thorin's voice was rough.

Save them the voice rang in her head again and Gandalf looked at her as if he had heard the voice as well.

"Whatever was said to her is none of our business" Gandalf defended, and in that moment Rose knew what it meant. She had wanted more than anything to save them from a tragic end and now she would get that chance.

"So you're saying a member of the Valar sent here to Middle Earth" Bilbo finally spoke up for the first time since she had arrived.

"I guess so…" for the first time Cheyenne looked around and noticed that they were in a room with no one else around which seemed to make their staring even more real now. Cheyenne got up avoiding there gaze and proceeded to open the door.

"Where are you going?" Bilbo asked

Without turning around she replied "Rivendell, Lord Elrond is probably the only person that could tell me how to return home."

"That would not be wise, its night and with no knowledge of the area you will be dead by morning" Gandalf said harshly.

"Well I have no money and nowhere to stay I might as well leave"

"Nonsense you can stay with us, we will be heading in that direction you can merely stay with us till we get close to Rivendell."

Gandalf you sneaky Wizard I know your plan, "I can't travel with you, I have already insulted the leader of the company, I can't just tag along after that." Cheyenne was trying to act like Thorin and the others weren't there.

"Never the less lass, you can't go getting yourself killed maybe they will let you stay in the stable" Balin suggested.

"You can sleep here" Thorin grumbled and all eyes turned to him in complete shock including Cheyenne's, "we leave at first light."

"Not that I'm not grateful Thorin but I insulted you, I'm surprised you haven't kicked me out by now."

"Despite the fact you thought you were dreaming you were never the less honest about me, I see no harm in you tagging along but if you fall behind or get attacked I'm not responsible for your fate."

"Understood"

"You seem to know our names, what is yours?"

"Cheyenne…"

"So you said you're not from here? What is it like where you come from?" Bilbo seemed very excited.

"Well in my world we built things called technology to do most of our work for us, there is only one race which is man, women work and have the rights as men…"

"Wait women do the same jobs as men? They make you work?" Kili seemed rather shocked by this.

"Yes, I work or well worked at a coffee shop"

"A whole shop dedicated to coffee?" Bilbo seemed mesmerized.

"That's right they are everywhere in my world"

"So is your race of men smaller than the ones in Middle Earth?" Ori asked timidly.

It took a moment for Cheyenne to realize why he had asked the question but then she realized she was the size of a dwarf. "No, they are the same size actually normally I'm 5'10" but I suppose I shrunk when I came here."

"5'10" you're very tall for a lady, are all women where you're from that tall?" Kili asked actually curious.

"Some are but most aren't, I'm tall even in my world" Cheyenne tried not to look at him when she answered because Fili was right next to him and she was still very embarrassed.

"That's enough talk time for bed" Thorin said harshly

Cheyenne lay on the floor closest to the window, "you don't have a bed roll?" Bilbo asked "here I brought an extra you can have it."

Cheyenne didn't get much sleep that night she was pondering the dwarves fate and hers as well. She was all but expecting to wake up in the morning in her warm bed with all of this being a dream but alas that was the real dream.
