Later, Felicity and Mary Anne both arrived at home at the same time. Mary Anne shrieked when she saw the dwarves sitting in the living room. "There are dwarves and a hobbit sitting in our living room Fee!" screamed Mary Anne. Felicity grinned. "Noh, really, Mary Anne!" said Felicity after returning from a second trip of bringing in beer. She brought many cases of beer for the large crowd of guests in their home. "Christine, you got some explaining to do missy!" barked Mary Anne. "Its rather a long story, we'll allow Thorin and Balin tell you the story. This is my younger sister Mary Anne, by the way!" said Christine. "Hello, Mary Anne! That is a really lovely name." said Kili. Mary Anne blushed. "Thank you." said Mary Anne. Thorin and Balin told Mary Anne their situation. "What are you guys going to do then? That means you'll be stuck here for a while!" said Mary Anne. "Your sister is going to help us. She's going to do some research from her spell book. She said something about portals and dimensions." said Balin. "Oh! I know what she's talking about there. But we're still learning our powers, and I'm afraid it's going to take a little bit to learn about teleportation." said Mary Anne. "That's really nice to know." grumbled Thorin.

"Don't worry! We're going to make sure you gentlemen are entertained! Because we Bankston girls can throw some serious parties!" grinned Felicity. Bofur smiled. "Your ex boyfriend left his Guitar Band Video game here again!" said Felicity. "Well he's not going to get it back. Besides, there's some gentlmen here would find good use for it." said Mary Anne. "How do you play this video game?" asked Fili. "Turn on the game and grab the guitars and give Fili and Kili guitars." said Felicity. And Mary Anne done so. She also brought out a drum set that also went with the game, and she gave the drum set to Bombur. "Now when you play it, you follow the song on the instruments." said Mary Anne. "Hey this sounds like fun!" grinned Fili. Soon as the game started, the song began.  And the song that played, was 'Walk This Way'  by Aerosmith. Christine laughed as she watched Fili and Kili and Bombur playing and singing along. Even the other dwarves started dancing and singing with them. Thorin just sat there, smiling slightly and taking a drink of his beer.

"Thorin, you ought to give ita try!" said Christine. "No, no! I'm fine, thanks!" said Thorin. "Oh come on, Thorin! Don't be such a party pooper! You look like a front man of a band! You really should give ita try!" said Felicity. Thorin sighed. "Very well." said Thorin, standing up. Kili handed over the guitar he was using to Thorin, and Thorin joined in with Fili. "Damn!" grinned Christine. "Christine, is it me or you got a crush on Thorin?" teased Mary Anne. "I don't have a crush on Thorin." said Christine, matter of factly. "Yes you do. I see the way you look at Thorin. Don't tell us that you don't, because you do!" said Felicity. "I told you I do not have a crush on Thorin!!' snapped Christine. "Don't get your undies in an uproar, Christine! We're only giving you a hard time." said Mary Anne. Later that evening, Felicity wanted to hear dwarf songs. At first some of the dwarves weren't too keen on singing their songs to the human women. But then, Fili and Kili insisted they should, because the girls were eager to learn dwarf culture. Thorin went into the parlor room and pulled ouf the harp he played on earlier, and sat down. "I composed this song myself years ago, after Smaug's first attack." said Thorin to the Bankston sisters.

Thorin placed his large fingerson the harp strings, and he started to play. Presently, he started to sing in a beautiful deep baritone voice. The other dwarves joined in with him, as he sang:

Far overthe misty mountainscold

To dungeonsdeep and caverns old

We must away, ere break of day

To find our long forgotten gold.

The pineswere roaring on the height

The winds were moaning in the night.
