I never finished this and I don't think I ever will so sorry if the cut-off seems a bit abrupt.

And just to clarify, it takes place at Beorn's house.

I was excited for this part so I wrote a bit ahead. ;) :P

I only own Abi, Danny, and Addi.

Thanks.

In the evening, I go outside. I think I might climb a tree... Why not? Well I'm wearing a dress, somebody might see me, but on the other hand, nobody will see me. I find a tree that looks alright. Wait, not alright, perfect! The branches are perfect, and don't require much effort to climb. In no time at all, I'm on the branch that perfectly showcases the scenic vista of the sun setting over the Misty Mountains. The branches of the tree add a perfectly placed accentuated border to the view. It's almost too good to be true.

After about two minutes, it is too good to be true. For I see Bilbo climbing up the tree right on to my branch. For a second, I am almost tempted to hiss at him: "My branch! Find your own!" But instead, I almost panic, and look around for a way of escape. When Bilbo manages to make himself comfortable, he sighs, gazing out contentedly at the scenery. I no longer enjoy the view. Now it just seems to be an instrument of torture, gluing his butt to the branch we're sitting on, and preventing my escape.

Now I'm really panicking. I feel the blood rush to my face, and I find myself shooting fearful sideways glances at him, and trying not to appear awkward. I glance down. Nope, no way I'm jumping off.

After what feels like forever, Bilbo finally seems to get his bearings. He clears his throat and asks,

"Do you hate me?"

I am taken aback. I forget my plight and look at him oddly, finally answering, "Wh-why would I hate you?"

He shrugs, not in the least bit bothered by my surprise.

"Well, you're always avoiding me. And you glare at me every time I attempt to be courteous."

I sigh and turn towards him, swinging my leg over like riding a horse.

"Look, the truth is," I guess the best thing to do now is be honest. "you make me feel absolutely furious!" I say, emphasizing the furious with a growl, looking angry and clenching my hands into fists, waving them in the air. Bilbo leans back suddenly, blinking at me with a frightened shocked expression. Then I soften my expression. "But you also make me feel warm inside. And you make me feel-" I stop speaking and kiss the flustered hobbit on the lips, leaning forward, and pulling his face towards mine. His lips feel stiff and rigid in surprise, and I can see that his eyes have widened. He's also blushing extremely and I know that I am too.

Idiot me. Why. Have. I. Done. This?! I break the kiss, and gasp, covering my mouth. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" I cry.

Bilbo just looks shocked, and is completely out of his usual self. He's breathing a bit heavily and licking his lips quite nervous-like. "Did- did you-? Did that just-?! I just- What?"

I quickly look down and decide that there's nothing for it. But as I start to pull my leg over the branch and to try to get off like a horse, Bilbo stops me.

"Wait, wait. Why did you-" he asks, holding my shoulder.

"It was a stupid mistake, please forget all about it, and let's get on with our lives." I say curtly, resuming my efforts.

"Well could you please get back on the branch, thing that I am on by myself?" He asks giving me a pointed look.

"Why? I'm getting off and forgetting about all this crap that I frankly never should've started by sitting on this freaking branch in the first place!"

"Why do you always insist on being far from me? I've not done anything to you!"

I glare at him and get back on the stupid tree branch muttering, "Okay you wanna do this again? We'll do this again! Because we didn't have it sorted months back in Rivendell? Is that why?"

"That's what you call sorted? I don't find that sorted, thank you very much." Bilbo huffs.

It's incredible how sour this turned in a matter of less than sixty seconds.

"Oh really? Then what is sorted? What is your definition of sorted?"

"That we're both happy with a mutual decision! Have you ever considered that?"

"The world doesn't go round on happy endings, Bilbo. This Quest isn't meant to have one, alright?" I pause, and collect my thoughts. "Okay, we reclaim the mountain but it comes at a huge price. Understand? Huge! And I want to minimize it. But I can't do that with this going on!"

"I can help you! Please, I don't like to see you tearing yourself apart over that."

"Look, if I try to fix this ending, where someone was evidently not in his right mind when he wrote it, it may cost me my life." I take a breath "And I am ready to risk it. Which means that I have to cut as much relationship as I can, so no one ends up hurt." I chuckle bitterly. "Well, Danny and Addi might end up broken, but that's just what we agreed might be part of the risks."

"Abigail Weiss, we're all at risk here. And all of us are ready for anything. And I am completely ready to risk it all for you."

I sigh, rubbing my forehead, and say,

"Bilbo, we've been over this anyways. This is not meant to happen. Me and Danny and Addi being here is bad enough, I'm trying not to mess anything else up."

Bilbo laughs.

"You just said that you want to fix the 'ending'! And now you're telling me that you don't want to 'mess anything up'!

He throws his head back and laughs harder. I stare at him bewilderingly.
