Welcome one and all to the new and totally improved Misadventures of Jenny and Katie: King Arthur….As you all saw in the title, this fic has a different title from the original Misadventures: King Arthur.

See, this fic doesn't take place during the movie, it takes place about 8 years before the movie in this fic, and the knights will be making a little trip to the future.

Have no fear; you all will see the new and improved version of the Misadventures of Jenny and Katie: King Arthur (this one actually taking place during the movie). See MJK:KA-KMTT sets up some new things that we added to MJK:KA…. So once we finish this fic, we will post MJK: KA.

Now for all that random but needed stuff…..I'm still TotallyRiddickObsessed (TRO) and DarkArchive (DA) is still DA and she's still my co author and beta….

These misadventures fics are stand alone, and are not (and will not be) connected to any other misadventures fics under this penname unless they are sequels (yes, this fic will have one...multiple sequels actually, but thats not the point).

Disclaimer: No, we do not own King Arthur, we tried, and we tried, we even petitioned for the rights, but we failed (apparently we didn't have enough signatures, who knew 2 weren't enough?) We also don't own Battlestar Galactica (though we really, really, really wish we did). Please don't sue us. We're both flat broke anyway.

Summary: The Misadventure that started it all. What happens when two high school seinors who are on spring break find a bunch of knights from the Dark Ages in their living room at 3am? Mass chaos.

Pairings:
OC (Katie)/Tristan and OC2 (Jenny)/Lancelot. Guinevere/Arthur, Fulcinia/Dag and Vanora/Bors will be mentioned in passing at times….and yes, we do know that they don't even know who Guinevere and Fulcinia are yet….we have fun plans for them….

And now for the Misadventures of Jenny and Katie: King Arthur-Knights Misadventures in Time Travel…..now that's a mouthful of a title…


It was a bright spring afternoon in southern California, birds were singing, the sun was shining, and the students of So. Cal. High was rejoicing in the fact that it was Friday, and five and a half seconds ago marked the beginning of their two week spring vacation!

Two students in particular were Katie Cooper and Jenny Olivera.

Katie and Jenny were seniors at So. Cal. and ecstatic that they would be spending the next two weeks hanging out at Katie's place watching movies, eating food, and altogether having a good time before the real hard part of school started and they would have to start prepping for college.

Katie and Jenny had been through a lot since the beginning of their high school years. They met through a mutual acquaintance Jennie, who was one of Katie's closest friends as well having known each other since kindergarten. So far, Katie and Jenny had survived seven different finals weeks, the ten (or twenty in Jenny's case) weeks of volleyball, evil band directors, bad menstrual cycles, paddle tennis, evil p.e. coaches, and even cylon conspiracies in their very own school. But they were surviving it as well as any slightly insane girls could.

Jenny was two weeks older than Katie, and she had long black hair and brown eyes, she was about five feet tall, and was in all very good looking.

Katie, who was also about five feet tall had shoulder length brown hair and dark brown eyes. She was also good looking but they both weren't ever hounded by the male species for dates. Not that they really minded. Most of the guys that they went to school were either not into them or very immature people that they had dubbed as Villageus Idioticus, or village idiots.

Anyhoo, Jenny and Katie were in Katie's car, driving to Katie's house this lovely Friday afternoon after school ended. Katie pulled into the driveway of her parents' two-story house, and saw her parents, brother and sister were bringing suitcases from the house and into the trunk of her dad's car.

"Hey Mom, Dad." Katie said as she and Jenny got out of the car and Jenny greeted them as well.

"Hey girls, how was school?" Katie's mom asked.

They shrugged at the same, a common occurrence between the two of them, but weird none the less, "It's school. Glad it's over."

Katie's dad and siblings were in the car, waiting as her mom said a quick good-bye to the girls, "Be good, and no wild parties."

"No worries Mrs. C, we know the rules. No wild parties" Jenny called.

"No guys,"

"No drinking,"

"No drugs,"

"No getting arrested,"

"And nothing illegal in general." Katie finished.

Mrs. Cooper shook her head as she got into the car; she never understood how they did that…wasn't it something reserved for twins?

Katie walked up to the car, "Don't worry, we're just going to hang out, watch some movies multiple times over, eat and relax. We'll have a very quiet spring break for the two of us before we really have to start paying attention in school. Have fun in Hawaii!"

As the car drove away, Katie and Jenny walked into the house, not knowing that in a few hours their lives would be changing forever.


That night, Katie and Jenny were lounging on the couches in the expansive living room watching one of their favorite movies of all time, King Arthur.

Both girls loved the movie, ever since it came out they had seen it multiple times (though they unfortunately had never seen it in theaters), they owned both the regular version and the director's cut, and knew every single itty bitty detail of the movie.

They were obsessed. So sue them.

They were watching the scene in the middle of the film where the knights were camping out in the forest north of the wall in the rain when suddenly the movie froze; the lights flickered, dimmed and brightened for a few minutes before returning to normal just as Bors started going on about Van wanting to give all his children names.

"What the frak was that?" Jenny asked looking around the room.

"No clue, maybe a power surge," Katie replied, looking around as well, "It was probably just the house spazing. You know how it is."

"I think your house hates you." Jenny said.

"Don't doubt it." Katie replied, and they both returned their focus to the movie.


After the movie, Katie and Jenny watched some TV for a bit, before falling asleep on the couches in the living room, too lazy to head to the beds set up in Katie's room.

As 3am rolled around, Katie stirred, nature was calling, and it was always a good thing to listen.

She rolled over and padded out of the living room, and walked into the hall.

And straight into a group of very confused men, "What the hell-"

Suddenly, all the men turned to face her, weapons drawn and pointed at her, "Who the hell are you!"

The man in the middle who was wielding a very large, shiny and not to mention oddly familiar sword spoke first, "Milady, may I inquire as to where we are?"

After glancing at the alarm that was mounted on the wall and seeing that these weird men hadn't broken in, Katie answered flatly, "You're in my house."

They still stared blankly at her, "In California, which is in the United States of America, which is on the planet Earth."

"I have never heard of those places." The same man said.

Katie raised an eyebrow, "Just who are you all anyway?"

The one in the center answered again, "I am Arthur Castus, and these are some of the Sarmatian knights that are stationed with me at Hadrian's Wall in Britain."

Katie blinked. That was not the answer she was looking for, "I know this is going to sound weird," she began, "but what year is it?"

They all looked at her like she was crazy, "It is the year 460 of course." Arthur answered.

Katie nodded, "Right...um…yea…shit. JENNY!" She yelled, startling the knights.

They all heard a shuffling from the next room, and heard another person, presumably Jenny muttering, "What Katie, it's three in the frakking morning, did you forget your way to your own bathroom or something?" Just then, she rounded the corner and saw Katie standing with the knights, "Holy crap."

"Yeah, or something." Katie answered.

Jenny walked up to them, "Katie, do you know-"

"Yeah."

"But that would mean-"

"Yeah."

"But how?"

"Good question."

"What about-"

"No idea."

"How long?"

"I don't know. Not fifteen yet."

"But HOW!" Jenny asked exasperatedly.

Katie just shrugged, as Jenny looked from her to the knights, and noticed something, "Katie, why are they all staring at you but it looks like Arthur's making it his life's mission not to?" She asked.

And low and behold, the knights were staring at Katie, hence the silence that Katie didn't realize was there until that very moment, and Arthur had indeed not looked her in the eye once during their very odd conversation, "No idea," She answered, "Maybe it's the shock."

Arthur cleared his throat, "Actually lady, it's your…umm….state of undress."

Katie looked at herself in her small black tank and short shorts, "State of what?"

Jenny looked at her best friend, "Katie you have no pants." She stated blandly.

Katie looked at the knights, who were indeed staring at her, and shrugged, "Oh, right. Jenny, why don't you take the knights into the living room so we can talk about this? I'll be back in a sec. Nature calls." She said as she walked past the knights, finally stopped staring.

"I don't hear anything." Arthur said confusedly.

Jenny rolled her eyes, "It means she has to pee."

"Oh."

Jenny shook her head, and turned around signaling the knights to follow her into the living room where she had them sit down on the assortment of couches and chairs in the room, while she began pacing in front of them, muttering to herself.


This is the sight Katie saw when she walked back into the room five minutes later.

Jenny, pacing in front of seven confused knights from the year 460 that weren't even supposed to be there.

They were characters from a MOVIE for Apollo's sake!

"Jenny stop pacing. You're making me dizzy." Katie said to get her attention and in turn the rest of the knights as well.

Except when Arthur realized she still had no pants on, and immediately covered his eyes.

Jenny looked at her friend, "Katie you still have no pants."

"I didn't notice." She replied sarcastically.

"Well put some on. I think Arthur's going to have the spaz attack to end all spaz attacks if you continue going around half naked." Jenny said exasperatedly.

Katie looked to the last place she saw her pants, "He's sitting on them." She said gesturing to Tristan who was sitting on her makeshift bed on one of the couches.

Tristan wordlessly handed Katie her pants much to the knights' disappointment.

After Katie was 'properly' clothed, she stood next to Jenny, who was in front of the knights, and at the same time they sat down in the coffee table that was between the couches the knights were sitting on and the TV.

Jenny and Katie looked at each other after they were seated, "That never gets old." Jenny muttered.

Katie looked at the knights, "Ok, first off, introductions. I'm Katie and this is Jenny. And no, we're not sisters. So don't ask."

Arthur, being Arthur decided to once again speak for his knights, "As I already said, I am Arthur, and these are some of the knights that I serve with at Hadrian's Wall in Britain, Lancelot, Dagonet, Bors, Tristan, Gawain, and Galahad." He said, gesturing at each knight in turn.

"Right," Jenny said sounding bored, they already knew the knights' names, "So, care to tell us how you managed to find yourselves in Katie's hallway?"

"We are just as confused as you are lady." Gawain said.

"One minute we were at the Wall, next minute we're in your house." Lancelot said.

"Do any of you remember doing or seeing anything odd or out of place?" Katie asked.

The knights all shook their heads turned to their scout, who was most likely to notice anything or odd and out of place.

He just shook his head as well.

"There is one thing I'm rather confused about lady," Dag said to Katie, "Why did you ask what year it was?"

Jenny looked at Katie, "You didn't tell them?" She asked.

Katie shrugged, "I thought you would."

"Well you do it."

"Why me? I already shocked them once."

"You weren't wearing pants, it doesn't count."

Katie opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Bors, "Lass just tell us. We're all man enough to handle it."

"Famous last words," Jenny muttered, "Katie."

"Jenny." She replied evenly.

The two girls glared at each other, before Katie relented, "Fine, fine, I'll tell them."

"Tell us what?" Arthur asked. These girls were beginning to really confuse him.

"This isn't the easiest thing to tell you, but what the hell, you'll have to find out anyway….It's not the year 460 anymore." Katie said.

The knights all started laughing. Except Tristan, but that's not the point. There's no way this girl could be telling them that they had been taken into the future.

Right?

After seeing the glares from the two extremely annoyed girls, the knights decided to shut up, "Seriously ladies, how could it be possible for us to be in the future?" Lancelot asked.

Katie and Jenny just looked at him, "You're asking us? We're the ones who were woken at three in the morning because a bunch of knights from the year 460 are in my house." Katie said.

"So if we really are in the future, what year is it?" Tristan asked, speaking for the first time.

"He speaks." Jenny muttered under her breath.

Katie rolled her eyes before enlightening the genius knights as to what the year was, "It's the year 2008."

If any of the knights were still laughing, they stopped now.

"2008?" Arthur asked, shocked.

"Did we stutter?" The girls deadpanned.

"So you're saying," Galahad said slowly, "That somehow we've been brought to the future?"

Jenny slapped her forehead and Katie put her head in her hands.

"Now they got it." Jenny groaned.

"Did we not just tell you that?" Katie muttered.

"Apologies ladies," Arthur said, "You must understand that this is a shock for us as well."

"Well," Katie began, "Since we're getting absolutely nowhere, and it's almost four in the morning, I saw we go to sleep before I don't have enough energy to get blankets for all of you and deal with this…issue…in the morning."

"I like that idea." Jenny agreed.

"Where will we be sleeping?" Bors asked.

"Well, Jenny and I will be sleeping on the couches you currently are sitting on, which leaves the floor for all of you until we can deal with sleeping arrangements. I'll go get blankets." Katie said as she got off the coffee table.

"Why do we have to sleep on the ground?" Galahad whined.

"Oh shut up. I'm sure you've slept on worse," Jenny said getting up as well, "Now get off my bed Lancelot."

The man in front of her smirked, "Do you not think we can share? It seems to be quite large enough for the both of us."

Jenny glared at him, "Move. I'm tired, cranky, and not in the mood to deal with your pathetic advances. Now for the first and last time; GET THE FRAK OFF MY BED!"


Katie shook her head as she heard her friend yelling at Lancelot, and then the ensuing laughter from the knights.

Men.

Katie pulled as many blankets as she could from the shelves when suddenly she heard a very girly yell that she knew wasn't Jenny's, and deduced that it must have been one of the knights.

Galahad probably.

"KATIE!" She heard Jenny yell from downstairs.

"WHAT!" She yelled back.

"THEY'RE POINTING THEIR SWORDS AT ME!"

"FOR TURNING DOWN LANCELOT?"

"NO! JUST GET DOWN HERE!"

Katie rolled her eyes and walked downstairs with the blankets for the knights to see that the knights were indeed pointing their swords at Jenny and it took her a moment to realize that it was really the black animal that was hissing in Jenny's arms that was about to be on the receiving end of seven sharp and pointy swords.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Katie yelled.

"That thing attacked me!" Galahad exclaimed.

Katie looked at Jenny who was holding a very angry looking house cat, "Starbuck attacked you?" She asked skeptically.

"Yes! She jumped on me and started making odd noises. And she poked me with her claws." He explained.

Katie rolled her eyes, "She's a house cat. I promise she won't hurt you. Now put the weapons away." She told them.

No one moved.

"NOW!"

They slowly lowered their swords.

Katie put the blankets on the ground and took Starbuck from Jenny, "I guess now is as good a time as ever to lay down a few ground rules. Number one: Do not; I repeat DO NOT hurt Starbuck. Number two: No weapons. I don't feel like getting stabbed. So hand them over."

After much convincing, Katie managed to get all the knights weapons, which was a hefty amount considering Tristan had A LOT of weapons on him.

Arthur looked like he was going to cry when Jenny locked the garage that Katie's parents never used, and where the weapons would be safe.

"Don't worry Arthur. Nothing's going to happen to your perfectly precious pointy sword." Jenny cooed.

"Nice alliteration." Katie muttered, looking asleep on her feet.

Jenny looked at her friend, "Ok, she's using big SAT words. That means it's time for bed."

"What is an SAT?" Tristan asked.

"The test from hell. Be glad you live before it was invented." Katie muttered as she drowsily handed out blankets.

They all settled down to go to sleep, Katie and Jenny on the couches, and the rest of the knights on the floor.

"Night knights!" Katie and Jenny said.

"Are you going to turn off the lights?" Dagonet asked.

Katie and Jenny glanced at each other.

Then they both clapped twice, and the lights shut off.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" The knights exclaimed.

Katie and Jenny started laughing, "Magic. Now go to sleep before we kill you." Katie answered.

"I'm in hell." Arthur muttered.

"Yep. It's a nice place." Katie said.

"You'll get used to it." Jenny replied.

"And now we sleep." Katie muttered and turned over.

"The floor's cold." Galahad whined.

"GO TO SLEEP GALAHAD!" They all exclaimed.

After some shifting around, Katie, Jenny, and the knights managed to find a comfortable spot, and they all fell asleep not knowing what was in store for them.


AN: And that's the end people. Can you believe that that's just the prologue? 11 pages. DA and I have everything planned out in our notebooks, and we have a LOT planned for the future.

And now a peak into what will happen next chapter: Introducing the knights to modern technology including phones, forks, cars, TVs, bathing, grocery shopping and much, much more.
