"Cheyenne get up" she was being lightly shaken but she just groaned and rolled over trying to go back to sleep. "Cheyenne please wake up we are leaving and you don't want to make Thorin mad" it was Bilbo again shaking her.

"I'm up" Cheyenne groaned sitting up but keeping her eyes closed, "so I guess yesterday really happened." She was rubbing her eyes and noticed most of the company was already up and ready to go, "balls" she grumbled standing up.

"That isn't very lady like" Fili replied to her comment as he walked by.

Cheyenne's face turned bright red oh god think of something witty "well I'm not a lady" fantastic Cheyenne you're an idiot.

Cheyenne stretched and stood up brushing off her clothes from the previous day, they were covered in dust. "Those are rather odd clothes lassie" Balin pointed out, Cheyenne looked down and realized she was still wearing her clothes from Earth. She imagined she did look odd in her black hoodie, jeans and moccasin boots.

"It's all I have, it's pretty common where I'm from" Cheyenne stuck her hands in her hoodie pocket and realized that it was full. She pulled out her contact case, glasses, inhaler and a copy of The Hobbit which she quickly hid back in her hoodie. I better change out my contacts it's the only pair I have and I need them when it gets to the fighting. She took them out and quickly put them in the solution left in the case before putting her glasses on. She looked around trying to get used to wearing her glasses again, she had forgot how large they were.

"I noticed you have your pocket full; I have an extra bag you could have if you want it's kind of small" Bofur produced a small leather bag and handing it to her.

"Thank you so much, if I ever get any money I will buy my own and give yours back"

"No need lass it's a gift"

"Thank you" Cheyenne gave him and hug which caused him to blush a little though you couldn't tell underneath his facial hair. She quickly packed her items inside trying especially hard to hide the book they can never see it she knew if they did it would only be bad news.

"Alright we are going into town to get some supplies then meet at the stable at noon to head off" Thorin addressed the company.

Cheyenne walked behind the rest she was rather worried, okay try not to die or get anyone killed she mentally gave herself a nod, good plan.

"You can come with us, we are going to have our weapons sharpened" Kili smiled, "might be nice to have a girl around."

"Glad you think so…"she mumbled following behind Fili and Kili as they walked through the crowded street. It looked a lot like the movies, they did a good job but she was happy you couldn't smell movies because it didn't smell too nice here. As she walked she remembered that Fili kept a knife on his back right at the top just out of sight. She pondered for a moment whether to take it or not and on an impulse she did. She walked closer to him and carefully plucked it when he took a step forward oh dear did I just seriously take it, he is gonna kill me.

When they reached the blacksmith the brothers began to remove all of their weapons, she didn't realize quite how many knives Fili really had. When he went to reach for the knife he kept in the back of his jacket he realized it was missing. "Where did it go?" he asked no one in particular, he seemed rather stunned it was missing.

Cheyenne cringed a little knowing he was going to be mad damn my impulses, she raised the knife in front her face and swung it back and forth slightly.

The pair looked surprised but Kili smiled "looks like we don't need Bilbo with a thief like you."

Fili narrowed his eyes "how did you know I kept a knife there?"

Shit, Cheyenne swallowed "I saw it when we were walking I thought it might be a funny joke" she lowered her voice "that was a stupid idea."

"I make sure no one can see it" he looked suspicious

"I'm sorry"

"It's okay"

"No, I mean I'm sorry for what happened when we first met" Cheyenne's face was as red as a rose, "I know you must think I'm completely creepy and can't stand me."

"Don't be sorry, my brother just wasn't expecting a kiss from a pretty girl" Kili had a huge grin on his face and slung an arm over her.

Cheyenne's face went to a whole new level of red; he is even more cheerful in real life. Fili still hadn't said anything, "but I'm sure you're a big ladies man back home, I bet you have women all over you."

That is when Kili lost it, he burst out laughing his rather adorable laugh "my brother has never met anyone he liked let alone kiss anyone, a ladies' man? That's a funny joke."

Fili shoved his brother "I'm a Prince I could have anyone I want" oh yeah I forgot he's a Prince "I just haven't found anyone worthy yet" a pompous Prince. He finally smiled that smile Cheyenne had always loved but never actually seen in person. Her heart jumped, "you said before you thought you were dreaming do you dream of me often?" he smirked.

"In your dreams" Cheyenne winked and gave him a small nudge. Even though she was completely freaking out inside, the Princes were even more charming in real life than in the movie or book.

"Well brother looks like this one, is going to give you a run for your money" Kili stood beside his brother.

"Bite me"

"She's a feisty one" Fili leaned against Kili "I like it"

"And I would like to get everything in order; Thorin said we are leaving at noon that won't be long from now"

Kili smiled oh my God that smile is killing me, "I think Thorin will like you he likes to be on time."

"Man after my own heart"

"Are you sure you're not a Hobbit?"

"Well now that I think about I am very Hobbit like, but I have smaller feet" she hopped on her right foot while lifting her left one up to show them.

"What kind of shoes are those?" Fili and Kili were staring boots

Cheyenne looked down "well my grandmother was a Native American, that's the original people that inhabited where I'm from. This is what they wore everyday on all types of places and environments."

They eyed her for a moment before Fili spoke, "well your shoes might work for Middle Earth but the rest of your clothes will not."

"Well I don't have any money and if I had money I think that a weapon would be more important for me to have"

"For someone that Mahal sent you came pretty unprepared"

"Well if I knew I was going to be sent here I would have packed better" she crossed her arms and blew a stay piece of hair out of her face.

Fili sighed and stuck his hand down his trousers; Cheyenne started blushing and turned away. "Here you go" he pulled a sword out, smaller than the one on his back but large enough to still be counted as a sword.

"What all do you have in your trousers?" as soon as the words left her mouth she instantly regretted them, especially when the brothers faces broke out in a grin.

"Would you like to see for yourself?" Fili gave that cute flirty smile that almost made her heart give out.

"Look brother she's going red again"

Cheyenne huffed "no I would not master dwarf" she took the sword from Fili "but thank you for the sword."

"You don't have to call me that, you can simply call me Prince Fili" he joked.

"It's time to go" Fili and Kili jumped slightly at the sound of Thorin's commanding voice behind them, "go get the weapons."

When they got back to the fell rested ponies Cheyenne realized that there weren't enough ponies for her to have one. "I can walk" she assured the company but none of them liked that answer.

"You can ride with me" Kili said pulling her up by her hoodie, Cheyenne had never rode on a pony before and it was very uncomfortable. She was sitting behind Kili and had to hold on to his waist as best she could so not to fall off.

"Lass we have been talking about it and I will draw up another contract seeing as you are now part of the company though the percentage of earnings is going to be negotiated" Balin said.

"No need, I don't want any of the profit"

The whole company turned and looked at her like she was a three headed dog, "your coming with us, facing danger and death but for no reward?" Gloin seemed the most surprised.

"Helping you reclaim Erebor is reward enough for me" Cheyenne adjusted herself trying to be comfortable enough to deal with riding a top a pony.

Thorin made very brief eye contact with her and she could swear she could see something in his eyes. "Not even a little profit lassie?" Balin asked her making sure she was sure.

"Not even a coin"

"What about…" Balin tried not to look so grim "funeral arrangements, just in case"

"If I get burned alive then it won't matter" she swallowed hard and tried not to think about what might happen to her "and if I'm killed otherwise" her voice got very serious "leave me where I fall and move on."

Fili stopped his pony and Kili brought his to a halt and almost spun around to look at her "are you crazy?"

"What?"

"Why would you ask us to leave you behind?" Fili seemed upset by her answer

"Because stopping to bury me or deal with my body would just hold you up, you have to take back Erebor" regardless of how terrified she was of what was probably going to happen she was adamant about this.

"We couldn't just leave you!" Fili and Kili basically yelled in unison which caused Cheyenne to be taken aback.

"You don't understand lassie, we don't leave one of our own that would be disrespectful" Balin was very solemn.

They rode in silence for hours, but when the sun began to set over the mountains Thorin finally spoke "we will make camp here." Cheyenne looked at the ruins of the farm house and knew what was coming next.
