~30 years later~

"Mother do I really have to wear this stupid mask?" Dalila complained. Tonight there was a ball in the Blue Mountains. Dalila was excited because she would get to see her old friends, if they remembered her. Dalila remember them quite well. She also remembered Fili's promise to come get her when he was big. She's been waiting and even though she had lots of friends she felt so alone. Don't get me wrong Dalila was very spoiled by the Dack's and had a very good life but she missed the Blue Mountains still.

"Yes dear you do. It's a masquerade ball." Lady Dack said tightening Dalila's dress. Dalila had grown into a beautiful young dwarf. She looked almost identical to her mother and had a little of her father in her. But of course she didn't know because she had no idea what they looked like.

"You look perfect. Let's be off now." Lady Dack said. They loaded up in the carriage and we're off to the Blue Mountains. Dalila sighed. She was nervous. What if Thorin made her leave? She still wasn't a princess. What if Fili had no idea who Dalila was? She would cry herself to death. He must have forgot her because he never came. Or he found another best friend.

"Don't worry my dear, I'm sure he remembers you. Just have fun and don't worry about it. You never know who you'll meet." Lord Dack assured her.
"I hope you're right Father." Father. Dalila always wondered about her real Father. She knew he was dead but something inside her told her there was more to the story. Maybe she would see Bombur and he would tell her stories.

"Well brother I'm going to find one tonight." Kili said confidently. Fili rolled his eyes.
"Oh yeah? What if all the women are smart and don't go to bed with you?"
"And what makes you think they'd go with you?"
"I don't think about it. I'm not a pervert like you."
"That's a bunch of Smaug crap!" Kili said.
"Think whatever you want."
"It's my 30th birthday party. I can have whatever I want."
"Chill out. Don't get to crazy. I'm too young to be an uncle. Wait till your Thorin's age."
"Thorin's age? If I wait that long I won't be able to do anything." He joked.
"Actually things are quite nice in the bedroom when you're my age." Thorin said from behind them. They both turned around.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Kili said.
"Happy Birthday Kili." Thorin laughed.

Thorin was sitting in his chair, Fili was standing on his right and Kili beside Fili. They watched the crowd come in. It was packed full.
"I think this is all that's coming." Thorin said after an hour or so.
"I think so too. I'm gonna go mingle." Kili said walking off. About that time a beautiful dwarf girl walked down the stairs and into the dining hall. She caught everyone's eye, including the two young princes.
"I call it." Kili said. But Fili was already making his way through the crowd to say hello, but little did he know that move changed his life forever.

"But I called it." Kili whined.
"Let Fili have this one. Look at the way he's looking at her." Thorin said.

"Hello." Fili said when he reached her. "Hello."
"May I have this dance?" He said extending his hand out to her.
"You may." She took his hand. They danced almost all night.

"You seem so familiar. Have we met before?" He asked while spinning her around.
"Maybe. I'm from here."
"I say you are very beautiful."
"Thank you." She blushed.
"The most beautiful dwarf I've ever seen. And I can't even see half your face." Fili was in a trance of sorts. He couldn't take his eyes off this dwarf. But she felt the same about him.

"Look at them. They're great together. And the way she's dressed, she must be a princess. And she's very graceful for a dwarf. I told you Fili hadn't found his one yet!" Thorin said happily.
"I suppose you're right. But I still wonder about Dalila." Dìs sighed.
"Yes I know. But look how happy he is with this new woman. She must come to the house for dinner afterwords."
"That'd be nice."

Who is this new girl? Any ideas? And btw Kili is 30, Fili is 35, and Dalila is 34. That's the age most dwarves get girlfriends and boyfriends. It's like teens years.
