Author's note: Hello! Thank you all for your lovely reviews. I much appreciate your feedback! Sad to say it but this is the last chapter… Let's get on with it!

Chapter 3:

It took a hard work, a couple hours, and a hole bunch of paste, but Bofur finally fixed that toy. Kili helped where he was allowed to, holding out the, (blunt of course) tools so Bofur could use them. It turned out somewhat differently from the original, the cracks were a bit obvious on the neck of the bear. Bofur gave it a careful new paint job, giving the deformities a less noticeable appearance.

Surprisingly enough, the weather was still rainy and cloudy. Every crack of thunder shook the ceiling and made young Kili jump out of his skin.

As 12 o'clock rolled around, Bofur finished the toy. He put the toy in the bag Kili had brought from home, and handed it back to him. He helped Kili get in his furry coat and buttoned it up to his neck just like Dis had done.

"Thank you so much for fixing it, Bofur." Kili said, smiling at him.

Bofur grinned and waved him off. "Would've taken me twice as long without your help, laddie!"

Kili smiled back and opened the front door. Crack of lightning smacked down, and within seconds thunder rumbled throughout the town. Kili yelped and fell backwards into Bofur's arms.

"Woah!" Bofur said, lifting Kili to his feet. "It's just a wee thunderstorm. It'll be over soon."

Kili hated thunderstorms. Every time they would roll in, Kili hid under his bed, and Fili would have to coax him out. Then Fili would sit next to him on the bed, and read him a story. It always calmed Kili down no matter how bad the storm was. The only problem was, Fili wasn't there at the moment, and the storm seemed to get worse by the hour. The sky was clouded, and the rain wasn't letting up any.

Kili stared at the door with his hands on the glass. He knew he couldn't stay their forever, but he didn't know how to conquer his fear.

By the time Kili turned away from the glass, Bofur had already gotten his jacket on.

"What are you doing?" Kili asked him.

"Walking you home." Bofur replied, buttoning up.

Before Kili could respond, Bofur leaned his head into the workshop and yelled, "Bifur! Look after the shop for a few minutes, I'm going out!"

"Oh Bofur you don't have to-"

Kili would've finished that sentence if it weren't for the wall vibrating thunder. He made another yelping sound and jumped forwards. A smiled tugged on Bofur's lips as he raised an eyebrow at him. Kili sighed and lowered his head.

"Just making sure you get home safely." Bofur told him, and opened the front door.

They walked out into the rain, and into the streets. It was dark for being only noon. Kili grabbed Bofur's hand and led the way home. He felt much safer and not at all as scared as he would've felt, had he been alone.

Once Kili had gotten home, he thanked Bofur and hugged him once more.

"Not a problem at all, Kili! Come by the shop whenever you feel like it!" Bofur called as he walked back to his toyshop.

Kili walked inside his house and shut the door behind him with a loud thud. It was louder than he meant it to be, and his mother came running into the room. She sighed when she realized it was just Kili.

"How'd it go?" Dis asked Kili, taking off his coat.

"Bofur fixed it!" Kili smiled. "I helped him too!"

He reached in the bag and pulled out the toy, showing it to his mother. She took it in her hands and ran her fingers along the fresh coat of paint.

"It's good as new." Dis smiled, handing it back to her son. Kili nodded and put the toy back in the bag.

"Did Bofur have any words for you on the matter?" She asked, folding her arms.

"He was fine with it." Kili told her, deciding to keep the matter quiet. He didn't want to go into great detail.

Kili walked back into his room and shut the door behind him. He sat down on the bed with the toy on his lap. He had been so rash earlier. He knew his actions were unjustified. Fili had looked forward to all that hard training with Mister Dwalin that he knew he wouldn't be able to act younger than his age anymore. It wasn't close to 4'o clock yet, yet he already missed his older brother. He wondered if Fili missed him too.

Most likely not. Kili thought.

Kili's sick feeling that his brother would yell at him grew by the hour, and as 4:00 PM came around, he wasn't sure if he would be able to face him again.

He heard the front door open then shut. A lump developed in Kili's throat as he heard his brother speaking with his mother.

A loud crack of thunder boomed outside, the floor shook beneath him. He scurried over and hid under his bed. The sheets dangled over the edge and blocked his line of view. He heard the door ease open. Judging by the foot steps, they were his brother's. That only made him slide closer to the wall.

"Kili?" Fili asked, and Kili didn't answer.

Thunder rumbled outside, and Kili squealed involuntarily. He clapped a hands over his mouth as his brother stopped in his tracks. The sheet that was in front of Kili's view lifted up off the floor. Fili was knelt down on the floor, looking at his brother.

"Kili..?" Fili asked his brother. "Ready to come out now?"

Kili let his brother take his hand and pull him out from under the bed. He stood up and brushed himself off.

"Before you say anything.. Wait.." Kili told his brother, rushing to the bag on the floor.

He pulled out the bear, and held it up for his brother to see. A bright smile grew on Fili's face as he gently took the toy from Kili.

"How did.."

"Bofur fixed it." Kili answered, his gaze darted to the floor. "Fili.. I'm really sorry for breaking it.. And overreacting.." Kili sighed.

For a few moments Fili didn't speak.

"You know Kili.." He said finally, "It's just a toy."

Kili, remembering Bofur's voice in his head, smiled. Fili grinned and wrapped his brother in his arms.

"I can never stay mad at you anyways, little brother." Fili grinned.

Later into the night, the boys sat in their bed side by side. Their backs propped up against pillows. Kili had the quilt pulled up to his chin and wrapped around himself. Fili was reading their favorite story about magical trees that could walk around the woods, and sometimes even whisper to other trees.

About half-way through the story, Kili looked at his older brother.

"Fili?"

Fili stopped reading and looked back. "Yes?"

"Do you think I'll ever fight as good as Uncle Thorin someday?" Kili asked.

It was a random question, but Fili wasn't really surprised, yet he sat in thought for a moment.

"If you work really hard at it, then when you get to be his age, you'll be even better." said Fili.

Kili's eyes lit up, and he grinned wildly. "You really think so?!"

"I do."

Kili rested his head on Fili's shoulder. "I love you Fee."

"I love you too, Kee."

Author's note: Hey guys! Sorry this last chapter took so long. Hopefully you enjoyed it.. I'm also sorry the ending was kinda silly.. I wasn't too happy with it. But yeah it was late when I finished this. (Why is it always late when I write? I have no idea). I'll probably change it later on if I'm not too lazy.

Anyways guys.. That brings us to the end of this story. Thank you for taking the time to read this. It means a lot to me. New fan fictions are already in progress so no need to worry.

Hope you liked this too, Mouse. (:
