Gypsy giggled, agreeing.

Berry woke up. "What?!" she asked. "What's so funny?"

(that's the story of my life. I'm always daydreaming when people are talking, then someone makes a joke and I'm like, "What's so funny?")

After this everyone went into the forest right outside the dungeon.

"WHAT is so FUNNY?" Berry said, this time louder.

then Smaug said to everyone "cupcake time!"

Everyone cheered, and gathered round smaug for cupcakes.

"My secret ingredient is sardines."

Ethan had already taken a bite when Smaug said this, so he turned around and threw the rest of the cupcake, (because dwelves were allergic to sardines, especially in a forest.)

"These are quite...uh, lovely," Engee stammered as she set her cupcake down.

Everyone set them down, drank water, and started down the trail to......

Cair Paravel. If they traveled quickly and didn't encounter any adventures, they would make it just in time for dinner.

But in every story there is an adventure, and these travelers were just about to experience one.

"An adventure!" muttered an Elanor hobbit who just happened to drop by the troop of wanderers with a pack and a stick for walking, "Ah, nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable thing. We'll surely be late for dinner!"

Just as she finished a figure on a horse with a dog at his side came galloping forth...

"Is that who I think it is?!" exclaimed Ethan.

"By Jove!" the Stranger exclaimed. "There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!"
"King Peter!" Engee exclaimed, and everyone bowed.
