One Purpose

So I'm taking another shot at a hobbit fanfiction, because I hated my other one. So I'll take another swing at it and see how it goes, I'm going to make the best effort to keep characters in character but please don't flame me for any OOCness!

This is a Thorin/OC. My OC is named Skylar, she is twenty years old and has black hair. She wields a dwarvish blade and other details will be explained as the story goes! It will follow the plotline of the movies and I'll stick as close as I can.

I do not own the Hobbit or any of J.R.R Tolkiens work! I only own my OC and this fanfic so please leave this fanfic in my ownership! Please review, favorite and follow! No flames please but constructive criticism is welcomed!

Enjoy!

The black haired young woman strode along the path, watching as the grass around her was slowly greening. She was getting closer to the Shire. She stood just over five foot with shoulder length black hair with bangs that swept slightly over one eye and half of her hair pulled up. A dwarvish blade was strapped to her side, it always seemed to suit her better.

Skylar kept her left hand on the handle of her sword, gripping it tightly, a habit she had developed along the way. Every year at this time Skylar made a trip to the Shire to visit her good friend Bilbo Baggins.

Of course the real reason for her visits was to see if it was finally the time that the Company of Thorin Oakenshield would be feasting in his lovely home. Ever since Skylar had been plopped into Middle Earth, for reasons still unknown to her, she made it her mission to tag along on the quest and make certain that a certain three sons of Dürin would keep their lives to themselves.

Maybe it was selfish for her to plan this out, but a part of her found that she didn't care. Skylar knew she had the power to change things for the better and she had full intentions to do just that.

Other than that she'd really just enjoy being in the company of the dwarves, she had always gotten along with the ones she had met along the way.

As the time passed along with Skylars thoughts, so did the sunlight. By the time she reached the main populace of the Shire it was dusk. Bringing her attention back to the world around her, Skylar smiled at the few hobbits she passed outside. Her chest tightened slightly when she heard a pair of familiar voices in the distance.

"Fi we've been here before!" A voice exclaimed and Skylar immediately identified it as Kili.

"Well you're the one who said we should go right Ki! Maybe we should ask someone for directions?" The other one said who was of course Fili.

"Who is there to ask? No ones out here!" Kili said in a distressed tone," I'm sure Dwalin's there by now so there goes the bet!"

"Don't worry Ki, you didn't bet that much anyways," Fili said brushing his brother off.

"Hey now this was a bet we made together!" Kili said and his brother laughed.

"I know I was just trying to rile you up," Fili said with a chuckle.

"Yeah well- Hey! Maybe we can ask her!" Kili suggested and Skylar realized that Kili was pointing at her.

Her mouth twitched from keeping a smile from her lips before she spoke," Hello, can I help you?"

"Yes, we're looking for the home of Mr Boggins!" Kili said with a grin.

A snort of laughter escaped her lips, what her best friend would say if she was here," Mr Baggins house, it just so happens I'm on my way there as well, so you can follow me there if you want."

"That would be great and oh, I don't think we introduced ourselves, Fili at your service," Fili said with a slight bow.

"And Kili, at your service," Another bow.

"Skylar, at your service," She said giving them a bow as well.

She nodded her head in the direction of the hobbit hole belonging to Bilbo.

"So you're heading to Mr Baggins house as well, will you be joining us on our quest?" Fili asked as both him and his brother came up on either side of her.

"As a matter a fact I will be, though Gandalf doesn't know yet," Skylar said, muttering the last part with a slight laugh.

"You know Gandalf?" Kili asked.

Skylar glanced at him and nodded," Yeah, I met him a couple years ago and he's been helpful, I'd be pretty lost if he didn't help me out."

"Well we were all surprised when we found out about the quest but it'll be great if we succeed," Kili said with a grin.

Skylar nodded," Yes it will Kili."

They finally arrived at the home of Bilbo Baggins. As they walked up to the door Skylar noticed the familiar mark on the door.

"This is the place, the mark that Gandalf left is there," Fili said pointing at the mark.

She hummed in agreeance and brought her hand up to knock on the door. The door opened and Skylar could faintly hear Dwalin and Balin speaking inside the hobbit hole.

Bilbo's eyes brightened up when he looked upon her," Skylar, how wonderful to see you and- Who's that?"

"Fili-"

"And Kili."

"At your service," They said in unison before bowing.

"You must be Mr Boggins!" Kili said with his usual grin.

"Right," Bilbo said with an exasperated look on his face as he sighed," Come in."

Skylar walked in a smiled at Bilbo as she unclipped her black cloak and hung it up along with her sword. She smiled and chuckled as she heard the conversation going on between Kili, Fili and Bilbo. Skylar walked through a walkway into the open front room where a fire was blazing in the hearth.

Her hand trailed along the wall until she was standing in front of the blaze. Skylar turned her head when she felt another presence in the room. A smile formed on her face as she looked at Bilbo who sat in a chair, rubbing a hand over his face.

Skylar walked over to him and kneeled down next to the hobbit, a hand placed on his back gently," Don't work yourself into a dither Bilbo, everything will be fine."

"What do you mean fine?! I don't understand what their doing in my house!" Bilbo exclaimed exasperatedly.

"Hey," Skylar said turning the chair swiftly and placing her hands on Bilbo's shoulders," Just trust me about this. You trust me, don't you Bilbo?"

He sighed and nodded his head.

"So just know that-"

A loud knock sounded at the door.

Bilbo grumbled irritably and stood to stomp to the door," There's nobody home! Go and bother somebody else! If this is some clot heads idea of a joke, I must say it is in poor taste."

Skylar leaned her head over just in time to see the rest of the dwarves topple through the door. The smile never left her face as she watched Bilbo.

His face went slack as he looked up and saw the old wizard," Gandalf."

Gandalf said nothing as the dwarves all got up and introduced themselves before scuttling off to help with dinner. After they were all gone Bilbo shot Gandalf a displeased look before he went off to make sure the dwarves didn't do anything too crazy.

Skylar sat in the chair that was previously occupied by Bilbo and put her feet up on the table before Gandalf came over to her. She looked up and saw the mildly surprised look on his face.

"Don't look so surprised old man," Skylar said looking up at him," You knew I'd come."

"Yes, so it seems," Gandalf said quietly," And you are sure that you wish to come?"

Skylar gave a dip of her head," You know I have to come Gandalf, I have things I must be sure to change."

"Very well, I shall explain your presence to the leader of our company, Thorin Oakenshield," Gandalf said bringing a hand up to stroke his beard lightly before they both jumped slightly from the loud noises coming from the dining room," I shall go and join the company, do you wish to join?"

"No, I'll wait till they're all done with their burping and food fighting," Skylar said with a laugh.

Gandalf chuckled before he headed out of the front room and back into the dining room with the dwarves. Skylar smiled to herself, this is surreal, she thought.

Skylar opened one of the pockets of her jacket and pulled out her small pipe. She snatched a match off of the table and lit the pipe before leaning back and enjoying the mixture of crickets chirping and the clamor of dwarves in the other room.

Her eyes opened when she heard steps and she averted her gaze to see Bilbo coming in with a bowl and mug," I thought you'd still like something to eat."

"Oh, thanks Bilbo, you...you didn't have to bring me anything," Skylar said removing her feet from the table and setting her pipe down.

Bilbo scoffed," I couldn't possibly leave one of my friends and guests to starve now could I?"

"Well, you already had your hands full with the dwarves," She replied picking up the spoon that was in the bowl and taking a sip of the soup that was brought to her.

"They clearly didn't need me to cater them, they've cleared out my pantry, trailed mud all over the carpet and you wouldn't believe what's happened to my plumbing in the short time they've been here!" Bilbo ranted before sitting down in the chair next to her.

Skylar laughed heartily and took a drink from her mug," You brought me ale?"

"Yes, I know that you like it," Bilbo said pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Well thanks for dinner and the ale Bilbo, go on back to everyone else, I'll be in there in a moment," Skylar told him as she quickly ate her soup.

After Bilbo left the room she finished her soup and relit her pipe before heading towards the dining room. As she walked through the hallway she saw and heard Bilbo giving Gandalf the same complaints he gave her. Skylar quickly went to the entrance of the dining room and leaned against the wall.

Holding her mug in one hand and her pipe in the other she just stood there and watched everyone until a voice brought her out of her reverie.

"Excuse me miss?" The voice said and Skylar looked to see that Balin was speaking to her," Might I asked who you are?"

"Oh, I'm Skylar, at your service," Skylar said with a smile.

"Balin, at yours," He replied," Are you going to be coming along with us as well?"

"Yes, I will be actually," She said before putting her pipe to her lips for a moment before pulling it back to let a puff of smoke out.

Balin nodded at her and she turned away to see Ori approaching Bilbo.

"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, but what should I do with my plate?" Ori asked tentatively.

Fili came up to him and plucked the plate out of his hand," Give it to me Ori."

And so it began with the first throwing of the plate from Fili to Kili and the sound of feet stomping on the ground underneath the table.

Skylar watched with amusement as Fili bounced a bowl on his elbows before chucking it to his brother.

Once the clashing of silverware started Bilbo started to dither more," Can you not- You'll blunt them!"

"Oh ye hear that lads! He says we'll blunt the knives," Bofur said to the company before the sound of Kili's voice came in.

Blunt the knives bend the forks

Smash the bottle and burn the corks

Chip the glasses and crack the plates

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!

Cut the cloth, tread the fat

Leave the bones on the bedroom mat

Pour the milk on the pantry floor

Splash the wine on every door!

Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl

Pound them up with a thumping pole

And when you've finished if they are whole,

Send them down the hall to roll!

In a way it was chaos but it was organized chaos. She smiled and laughed as she heard the time emitting from Bofur's flute and Balin's face as he continued the flow of dishes back to Fili.

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!

Skylar joined in with the laughter as Bilbo pushed through the dwarves to see the dishes stack perfectly on the table. The laughter stopped immediately when there was a thumping knock on the door.

Gandalf was quiet when he spoke," He is here."

Skylar knew exactly who it was and suppressed the fangirl that still dwelled within her. She held her breath as the old wizard seemed to go in slow motion towards the door.
