Hey guys, welcome to my very first 'The Hobbit' fanfiction.
This was just fun project inspired by an RP I've done with my dear friend and online sister, Cellenia2 as she goes by here on FF (Hi little sis!*waves*) :3 :3 :3
We first started this RP a few years ago, I want to say maybe mid 2016 or 2017? And I've been working on it here and there since. I had been posting the chapter on my DeviantArt account until now, but I recently had a thought it would be good to keep all my fanfictions together on this account.
Any way, I have about 11 chapters that are finished now and once I post them all, it'll be going back on hiatus until I get some of my other stories completed. I hope you guys enjoy a story created between friends who are both rabid fan girls XD XD XD

Chapter 1: Meeting the Wizard
...
...
...
She could barely contain her excitement as she looked all around the busy building, and even as she stood right in the middle of it, she still could hardly believe she was finally attending her very first convention!
Every single person that walked by, all of which were fans like herself, were bustling around excitedly as they went from table to table purchasing comics and other merchandise or even meeting well known individuals and receiving autographs. But her favorite part of the whole thing had to be that many of these fans were dressed up in amazing cosplay for the occasion.
She particularly liked all the 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' cosplayers best, but as great as it was to see, she unfortunately she felt a little underdressed in her causal clothing among all these wonderful costumes...
She twirled strands of her long red hair around in her fingers as she looked around, but in her tracks as something caught her eye through the crowed. Not someone dressed as a well-known character or even someone sitting at a table with collectible items, but a young woman like herself.
The other woman had pale skin and was dressed in black shirt with red and black striped sleeves and she had dark brown hair that was in a pixie style haircut while her amber brown eyes peered down through yellow rimmed glasses as she looked over potential items to buy.
The red head chewed on her bottom lip in thought for a moment, she didn't want to come off as weird or creepy, but she seemed so familiar that she just had to go and make sure that her haunch was right. So, after she finally worked up the courage, she hurried over to the woman as she moved to look at other tables and waved her arms about to get her attention.
And the woman did stop, an expression of surprise on her face as she no doubt wondered what this stranger wanted from her.
"Hi, sorry if I come across a little weird, but I'm just gonna jump on this wild guess and ask...does your name happen to be Alison?" She asked, just jumping right into it.
The young woman gave her a guarded look, but she slowly nodded which made the redhead a little more confident.
"But you like to be called 'Ali'." She continued. "And you have a DeviantArt account by the name of 'UnderworldLegends', right?"
At that, she didn't say anything at first, she only looked her up and down as the gears in her mind seemed to be turning before she finally spoke up.
"Oui, but how did you know that?" She asked softly, her words wrapped within an attractive French accent.
And there was the clincher, it had to be her!
"Ali, it's me!" the red-haired woman said, letting out a lighthearted laugh before she put her hands up to the top of her head and pretended to make them look like ears. "Though, you'd probably recognize me better if I had fox ears and a tail like my avatar does on my DA account."
The young woman, Ali, had instant changes in expression which went from mistrustful to realization and finally to surprised joy.
"Toony?" Ali stated loudly as an excited smile appeared on her face. "Oh, mon Dieu! Toony, is it really you?"
"Toony-Tornado, at your service!" the red head said with a big grin.
"My Sister!" Ali cried in joy as the two friends hugged each other tightly. "Oh, it's so good to finally meet you in person!"
"Same here! I can't believe how lucky this is!" The red head stated happily as she hugged Ali even tighter before they both pulled away to get a better look at each other. "I thought it was you since I've seen this shirt in your drawings, if you hadn't worn it today, I totally would have missed you!"
"This is si merveilleu, so wonderful!" Ali said with that big smile still on her face. "Do you still want me to call you 'Toony'? Should I call you by your real name?"
"Naaaah, Toony works just fine." Toony said with a smile. "Oh hey, you wanna explore this thing with me some and see if we can find anything good? My husband was here with me before, but he had to take a work call and he'll be gone a while."
"Bien, that sounds like fun!" Ali said with an eager nod before they both looped arms with each other, giggling excitedly. But they hardly had even a second to enjoy the convention or even pick out a place to visit when a brilliant red light suddenly flashed from the corner of Ali's eye. Toony must have seen it to because they both stopped and fell quiet before they curiously looked over in the same direction.
"Toony, Ca c'était quoi?" Ali asked looking to Toony and then back to the crowd. "Did you just see a bright red light flashing over there?"
"I saw a light...but it looked green to me, not red," Toony told her, scratching her head in confusion. "There are a lot of cos-players here, maybe it was just camera flashes or something?"
Ali was a little hesitant to agree, whatever that light was, it didn't look like any camera flash she had ever seen before. But as soon as a group of people moved out of the way, Toony let out a loud gasp that made Ali jump in slight surprise.
"Toony?" she asked. "What's wrong?"
"Holy muffins Ali!" Toony started with a gasp, pointing over to what she saw. "Look!"
Ali blinked, but she slowly followed her friends' finger and looked around. It took a few seconds, but she eventually caught sight of it too and let out a gasp of her own and she grabbed Toony by the arm and began shaking it.
"Oh, aucun moyen!" Ali began in a breathless voice, hardly believing her eyes. "Is...is that really Sir Ian Mckellen?!"
"And he's in his Gandalf the Gray outfit, he even has the staff!" Toony stated excitedly, grabbing Alis' hands off her arm and holding them in a tight grip. "Come on sis, let's go fan girl over him!"
The strange flash of light was forgotten at the thought of meeting a great actor and the two of them rushed past the crowds. Practically skipping over to the table where Sir Ian Mckellen sat while his bright blue eyes watched them intently, as though he were silently studying them until they finally stood before him.
"Mr. Mckellen, or-or should I say Sir Mckellen...oh I'll worry about it later, we're such huge fans!" Toony stated almost too fast for him to catch what she was saying.
"My, my, such lively young ladies you are." he said with a chuckle. "But considering the occasion, I would prefer if you simply called me Gandalf the Gray."
Both Toony and Ali tried to keep from squealing to loud as he spoke to them in character, but before either of them could talk to him more or ask for an autograph, Ali looked down at the table and her amber eyes widened slightly with wonder.
"Hey, Regarde ça, it's glowing!" Ali stated in surprise, making Toony look down at the table 'Gandalf' sat behind as well. And on its surface was a gold ring with a very beautiful red ruby and an equally alluring green emerald necklace.
"Glowing, you say?" the elder man asked with an interested smile.
"Oui, I'm sure of it! This has to be what I saw a few moments ago!" Ali said with a firm nod before she turned to Toony. "You see the ring glowing too, don't you sis?"
"Well, I see the necklace glowing..." Toony started slowly, looking over the ring again to see if she could see any kind of light, but she just couldn't. She only saw the emerald shimmering with a soft green light.
"Hein? But it's the ring glowing, can't you see the red light?" Ali questioned in surprise. How could they both be seeing different color lights from two very different items?
This was so strange...
"These are very special gems." the older man told them as he picked up the ring and placed it gently within Ali's palm, and the red glow seemed to get brighter as she held it. "This is the sacred ruby of Uur-Anor, a very powerful stone that was said to fall from the sun itself, able to give form the very fire that resides within the heart of its chosen master."
"And this is the treasured Fea Kelva Emerald." he continued, picking up the black woven cord of the necklace and holding it out for Toony to take. "Fabled for endowing it's wearer with the gifts of every animal you can imagine."
"Si belle...how much for these?" Ali asked as the two young women marveled at the enchanting jewelry that was presented to them.
Ali wasn't quite sure why she asked, handmade jewelry from places like this was always so expensive. But since it was Sir Ian Mckellen himself that was selling them and he seemed almost sold out since these were the only two items that were left, both Ali and Toony didn't want to leave without them if they could help it. Plus, how many people could say that they purchased something from a very famous actor like this?
"I do not require money in return for these particular jewels." He said, taking them both by surprise. "But should you accept these gifts, you'll need only to remember to use them wisely..."
That was a little vague, not to mention a tad weird, but they just shrugged it off as they figured he was just keeping very well in character. He certainly knew how to play the enigmatic wizard off the big screen just as well on it.
"We gladly accept them, sir." Ali said politely, the two friends unable to contain their smiles as they both began put on their new accessories. "Merci beaucoup!"
But, as soon as Ali's ring slipped snugly upon her finger and Toony had the necklace fastened comfortably around her neck, not one person who was attending the convention seemed to notice that the two young women, who standing there only moments ago, seemed to suddenly vanished into thin air without leaving so much as a single trace...
