The next morning, Gandalf had met with all of them. "Where were all of you last night?" asked the wizard. "Oh we were invited to a feast by King Jerald and we went. And we had a marvelous time!" said Nadina. "I had my first slow dance with Nanya!" beamed Bilbo.  "I really hate to put a damper on your fun, but I must return to Middle Earth, I am needed there." said Gandal.  And everyone in the room fell silent. "Must you go, Gandalf? Must they go? Dwalin already told me he's staying, even Bofur, Nori, and Dori!" said Nadina.  Bilbo's face saddened. He too knew he had to leave to return to his home, but the thought of leaving Nanya is breaking his heart, now he didn't know what to do.  Then an idea formed in his mind. Maybe he would take Nanya with him, but that was a bad idea too, knowing that she is a princess, and he could not take Nanya away from her home either. Now Bilbo felt torn in two. "Excuse me." said Bilbo, and he left. "Bilbo?" said Gandalf, but Bilbo ignored the wizard, and he walked outside of the school. "Gandalf, Bilbo and Nanya are courting, and this is very difficult for him. He doesn't know what to do now. In other words, he's torn in two." said Angelina. "The poor lad." said Bofur sadly.  "Gandalf, please stay for a little while longer! At least for a year, and then you can return home." said Nadina.  "Alright, let me think this over." said Gandalf. Nadina nodded.

Suddenly, Bilbo ran back inside the house. "Nadina, there's two men and a evil looking woman standing outside your door, demanding to see you!" exclaimed Bilbo. "What? What is the meaning of this?" snapped Nadina, as she bolted out of the door, followed by Thorin, Gandalf and the others.  To Nadina's shock and dismay, she recognized one of the people, and it was Miss Bolina. "Miss Bolina! What are you doing here?!" shouted Nadina angrily. "We're here to shut down your school!" fumed Miss Bolina angriliy. "Miss Bolina, we followed the codes of running this school! What is the meaning of this?!" demanded Nadina angriliy. "Word came to me, that you haven't been keeping up the health codes in this school correctly, so we're going to shut the school down!" said Miss Bolina. "Let me inform you, Miss Bolina, that the Health Inspector was just here yesterday and he told me I passed everything! Where are you getting this false information from? And besides that, this is no longer YOUR SCHOOL!" yelled Nadina. "Pretty soon, it will be my school! If you are willing to accept twenty five point nine billion for it. That is the most I can offer." said Miss Bolina. "Don't do it, Nadina." said Thorin.

"I am not going to sell the school. You will not get me to leave this school even if my life depends on it!" barked Nadina. "Nadina, what are you doing?!" snapped Angelina. "Fine then! If you refuse to give up the school, then I will use brute force! Come, Henry and Bill, we're leaving!" fumed Miss Bolina, and they walked away. Angelina flipped them off. "Fuck you, bitch! And your stupid cronies too!" yelled Angelina. Gandalf's mouth dropped open hearing the language coming from Angelina, whom forgot Gandal was standing nearby. "Oh geez, Gandalf! I'm so sorry!" said Angelina quickly. Gandalf chuckled. "What am I going to do? They're going to take the school away from me!" cried out Nadina, sitting down. Thorin sat down beside her. "We're going to fight this, Nadina. Don't let that woman over run you! We will keep this school." said Thorin. "Well there is also another option, Nadina and Thorin." spoke up Gandalf.  "And that is?" asked Thorin. "Of returning to Middle Earth with me!" said Gandalf. "Gandalf, you know I cannot do that. Everyone would think I'm dead, as well as FIli and Kili!" said Thorin. "Well, its either stay here and lose the school and have no home, or return with me to Middle Earth, where you have a home." said Gandalf.

"He's right, lad. We need to return home. And I'm sure cousin Dain is going to be in for a real surprise when he sees you." said Dwalin.  "And ruin his kingship, I'm sorry, but I cannot go back!" said Thorin. "Thorin, I think they're right. What is there left to lose? We're on the brink of losing the school. Maybe its for the best we leave." said Nadina.  "And think of this way, you and Nadina will have a proper dwarven wedding!" said Dwalin.  Thorin sat silently, thinking over the decison. "Very well, we will go back. And a proper wedding is what Nadina and I both will want." said Thorin.   "What about Nanya? I cannot leave her! We're courting!" cried out Bilbo. Everyone fell silent, and sad looks clouded over their faces at the mention of Nanya. "And what of Arianna and I?" asked Kili. "Oh." everyone said gloomily. "You have to say your goodbyes to your loved ones." said Gandalf. Bilbo and Kili looked at each other.  "And as for the matter of when we'll be leaving, we'll be leaving in a week. So  Kili, Bilbo! You will have a week to spend time with Nanya and Arianna." said Gandalf.
