After lunch, everyone gathered in the Hall of Fire for some entertainment from the elves. But after the dwarves grown tired of listening to elven music and poetry, they wanted to provide some entertainment on their own.  They first began playing music,(Thorin joining in with them on his harp,of course). Samantha smiled as she watched the dwarves play music. Samantha felt her heart race, longing to to lay in the dwarve arms. When the dwarves finished, the dwarves turned to Bilbo, Samantha and her nieces. "You want us to do something?" asked Samantha. "I got an idea!" beamed Judith. Judith whispered in Merrilee's ear. Merrilee nodded, and they stood up in front of everyone. "We're going to tell our version of the famous fairy tale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs! We may need audience participation on this!" grinned Merillee. Fili and Kili looked at each other. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? Why can't you make it thirteen?" asked Kili. "That's exactly what we're going to do! We're going to do OUR version of the story, silly." said Merrilee. Samantha and Thorin laughed. "My nieces are really good at putting on theatricals." said Samantha. "I see that." said Thorin.

Merrilee began the story, and Judith acted out of the parts as Snow White. There was a few times Fili and Kili kept asking questions. "Who's going to be the Prince?" asked Kili. "Fili, since Judith's playing Snow White!" grinned Kili. "What about the rest of us?" asked Balin. "Balin, you'll be Doc, Thorin, you will be--ahem--Grumpy!" said Merrilee, with a chuckle."Excuse me?" said Thorin, folding his arms. Samantha roared into laughter, nearly falling off the chair. Even some of the elves in the room laughed, as well as Elrond and Gandalf. "Your nieces's nieces are quite creative!" smiled Elrond. "That they are!"grinned Gandalf.  As the story progressed, they came to the part of the story where Snow White stays with the dwarves and they are having a small party. "Now guys, this is the part where you play music and sing, but you yodel as well!" said Merrilee. "Yodel?!" said Dwalin. "Do we really have to do that?" asked Bofur. "Yes." laughed Judith. Dwalin rolled his eyes.  And so they done it while Judith and Fili danced around.

"Its funny how a prince is playing a prince!" chuckled Samantha. "A dwarf prince at that!" grinned Thorin, while strumming on his harp, as he took part in the little production.  When the story ended, everyone laughed, and wiped away tears. "I really like that story, ladies. Its really beautiful!" said Bofur. Now when that was done, everyone socialized for a little while. "Honestly, yodeling isn't all that bad!" said Fili. "Odele Eeee whooo!" sang out Kili, everyone laughed. "You sound like a cow, Kili. Your voice needs to be a little higher when you do that." said Merrilee. "How much higher can I get? We dwarves sing deep. If I go any higher, I strain my vocals!" said Kili with a shrug. Thorin laughed. "Fili could do it well." said Thorin. Thorin knew that Fili was one of the rare dwarf who sang tenor, but Thorin had been working with his nephews in their singing, since young age. "I'm ready for some alone time with Thorin before you guys have your conference." said Samantha. "I'm ready when you are." said Thorin, grinning. And so Samantha and Thorin leave the Hall, and they took a walk out in the gardens and conservatory. The two later sat down on a bench.

"Where were you earlier before lunch?" asked Thorin. "I was talking to Lady Galadriel." replied Samantha. "What did you talk about?" asked Thorin. "About helping you. She told me its my duty to help you on your quest in case something happens to you." said Samantha. "Sam-nothing is going to happen to me." said Thorin softly, brushing his hand on her cheek. "I'm not so sure about that, Thorin." said Samantha. "Sam, trust me. I will be fine. Nothing is going to happen to any of us, and I will be sure of that." said Thorin. "Okay." said Samantha. Thorin pulled Samantha into his arms, as she laid her head upon Thorin's broad chest.  She could feel his chest rising and falling, as he began to hum, she recognized the tune, as it was the same song she heard before leaving Bilbo's home, which made her fall in love with Thorin in the very beginning.   Thorin gently caressed her hair with his large fingers. "Thorin, do you think someday we'll ever get married?" asked Samantha. The question took Thorin by surprise. Thorin then smiled. "Yes, someday we will marry. I will be honored for you to be by my side as wife and Queen, Sam." whispered Thorin, as he leaned towards Samantha, kissing her passionately on the lips.
