Later that evening, a word went to the Master about the Company arriving in Lake Town. The Master send his guards to Bard's home, grabbing each member of the company, as well as Christine, Felicity and Mary Anne, taking them to the town square. "What is the meaning of this bull shit?!" fumed Felicity hotly. As they arrived at the town square, the Master, and his assistant, Alfrid, stepped out of the Master's home. "Who are these thieves entering our town?" demanded the Master. "Thieves?! We're not thieves, fatso!" shouted Felicity. "Felicity. don't  make a scene!" hissed Christine. Dwalin spoke up. "We are most certainly not thieves! Do you have any idea who you speaking to here? You are speaking to Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror King Under the Mountain!" shouted Dwalin, proudly. Christine smiled. She loved how Dwalin spoken like that.  The Master smiled. "We are the dwarves of Erebor! We have come to reclaim our homeland!" spoke up Thorin. "It is true, then!" gasped the Master, smiling.  Thorin stood now, facing the townspeople and the guards, and also looking at the Master and Afrid, and he began his speech, promise the people of Lake Town, they will receive a share of the treasure to make up the losses from Smaug's first attack.

Then, Bard approached Thorin. "You go into that Mountain, you'll wake him! You're bring us nothing but Fire and death!" warned Bard. "Excuse me? Thorin had made a promise to share the treasure with your people! Why are you giving him such a hard time?!" barked Christine. "Chris!" said Thorin. Bard looked at Christine. "I already know what is going to happen. That's why I joined their company. You don't understand, these dwarves want their home back!" contnued Christine. Bard ignored Christine's words. "You have no right to enter the mountain." said Bard icily. "I have every right!" Thorin snarled back. "I'm so sick and tired of this, telling Thorin he can't do this and he has no right to do that!! You tell him he has no right to enter HIS HOME! HIS HOME, DO YOU HEAR ME? Where are they going to go, if they couldn't get into the Mountain?!" barked Christine."Back off woman, this matter doesn't concern you." said Bard. "Oh yes, it concerns me.  You're looking at the future Queen here, buster!" shot  back Christine. "Chris, calm down." said Balin. Suddenly, the Master broke the tension. "Tonight, we celebrate a feast in honor of Thorin and his companions! I will arrange a guest home for them, where they will stay over night." announced the Master.

And they followed the Master, showing the company to the guest home. "Finally a place on our own!" grinned Kili. "You really didn't have to do all that, Chris." said Thorin. "What?" said Christine. "What you done earlier." said Thorin. "Thorin, I was only defending you. I' m not going to stand there and take that kind of bullying from anyone, especially a man." said Christine. Thorin chuckled at Christine's remark.  "Now I know not to get you angry, which I already seen a few times." said Thorin. "You haven't seen me crazy angry yet, Thorin." said Christine. "And I'm not looking to see that side of you, either." said Thorin. After getting settled in the guest home, they made their way to the feasting hall. Thorin, Balin, Dwalin, Christine, Fili and Kili sat with the Master at the large table, and the rest of the company sat at tables in front of them. There was lots of music, singing, dancing and laughter. And Fili and Felicity, most certainly did a lot of dancing, alongside with Mary Anne and Bilbo. Kili laughed and enjoyed himself, but Christine noticed Kili's features turning paler by the minute, and his condition worsening. "Thorin, Kili is not well. Shouldn't we have Fili or somebody return him to the guest house?" asked Christine "Yes." said Thorin. And so Thorin called out for Fili asking if he can return Kili to the guest house, alongside with Oin. "We will be joining you shortly." said Thorin. 

Fili nodded, and went for Kili and Oin, and the three of them left the feasting hall.  

Fili's POV:

The many years I've been around my brother, through good times and bad, I never seen him this ill. Not even this bad.   I remembered Ma took care of Kee when he was younger when he became ill. But this was quite different. It scared me. I'm not ready to lose my brother. I want him to be around when we reclaim Erebor, our old home, our real home. Kili and I had been waiting for years for this moment to come to see the Grand halls of Erebor.  We had to get him medical attention immediately, which why Uncle had sent Oin with us. We're hoping Mister Oin would help us. If not, we have to see if Christine will help us. Christine brought Mary Anne back to life. And we thought we lost her, with Christine's amazing healing powers, maybe she can help with Kee.  Suddenly, I turned around as we walked, and I saw Felicity running to us. "Wait, I want to be with you!" called out Felicity.  "Felicity, do you think you can try what your sister did with Mary Anne earlier?" I asked Felicity. "I don't know, Fili! My magic isn't strong as Christine's. But I will give a try!!" said Felicity, as we entered the guest house.
