You woke up to the smell of coffee and just for a moment you forgot where you were but all came back when you heard a voice say "slept well little rabbit?"  You nodded and wondered how your hair looked like, it felt like it would need a proper brush...well nothing to do about that. You tried your best fix it with your fingers and then offered yourself to pack the bedrolls and tie them up on the back of the saddles.
"Breakfast little rabbit." You walked over to the dwarves and took the cup of coffee that was given to you and the bread and cheese. You hoped that they thought that you were helping out just a little. That you could take initiative to what needed to be done and not be told. The lecture you got from Thorin last night was enough, all this about you being irresponsible in the wilderness. You still felt your cheeks blush in shame when you thought about it.
"Thanks Bofur" you said when you took your breakfast. You wanted so to ask them alot of questions but you didn't dare. It was easier to just turn to Bofur and to look at him even if he still called you little rabbit and not your name.
After breakfast you helped Bifur with the dishes.
"Y/n" Thorin calls for you, "you ride with Bofur".
And then you set off, looks like it's gonna be a nice day.

The dwarves talked in their language from time to time but you didn't care. But they also sang and around lunchtime you stopped at a brook. The ponies could drink and eat grass. You ate a lunch bread, cheese and dried meet. You drank water.
Then you hade to sneek behind a bush and pee and after that quickstop you set off again.
You knew you were going to Shire...but not really shure when to arrive. "This was not in the book" you thought.
Then Thorin rode his pony next to Bofurs and said to you "We're meeting our kin in Shire so...as I said to you last night you go with us and then we deal with the concern of your homeward journey afterwards."
"That sounds fine with me, but I don't really wanna go back to my uncles family" you tried and Thorin exclaims " But you must have other relatives!"
"Well...I got another uncle but I havn't seen him since I was a little girl and he lives far away from here." you lied now...but the dwarves could not get you back home to your real uncle and your home even if you wanted them to and you came up with a really crazy idea. Thorin and his company were like off to reclaim Erebor, you could go with them. If you said your uncle lived near Erebor...
"How far away?" Thorin asked
"Well...Laketown...you said. His named is Bard."
Thorin snorted and stopped his ponie and sat off. So did Bifur, Bofur and Bombur.
"We're here little rabbit, Shire." Bofur said.
"To bad you don't know anybody here." Thorin squabbled.
"It's y/n you know" you said to Bofur and got off the ponie.
"I know little rabbit" Bofur said laughing.

"What's this, have you extended on your journey from Bree?" A voice infront off us said.
"Gandalf" Thorin said " where is this house with the green door in this dusk all doors are grey".
Gandalf pointed out the way and you followed him.
Lucky for you it was quite dark because you were smiling from ear to ear...it was Gandalf the grey!!!
"Good evening my lady, I'm Gandalf the grey and how did you come along and what is your name?"
" Well the kinda found me wandering and lost in the forest and my name is y/n."

Gandalf stopped...and you looked up at a qute little house in a hill with a green door. Bilbos house. "Please if this is a dream don't let me wake up now." You thought. You could smell coffee and cardamum through an open window and you felt that you were really hungry. You heard voices, all the other dwarves was already inside.
Gandalf stood behind you all an knocked hard with his staff on the door and the door was opened so forcefully and suddenly that you all five fell right in on Bilbos doormat. Not Gandalf of course and of course Bombur was the last one to fall over you all.
