Sadly I don't own Merlin. It belongs to the BBC.

This is a sequel to 'all my love'

I know I said that this would be a one shot. Oh well. I don't know how many chapters this story will have. Probably not many, but we'll see how it goes.

Enjoy :D

Merlin walked into Morgana's chambers and saw Gwen filling Morgana's bath. "Where's Morgana?"

"She's behind the screen getting undressed whilst I fill her bath."

"Oh, sorry, I'll go." Merlin turned to go when Morgana spoke from behind the screen. "Don't be silly Merlin, its not like you haven't seen me in the nude before. And anyway, I'm not getting in yet. What's a matter?"

"Oh, I've just come to tell you both that Arthur is talking with Uther right now to see if all four of us can go to the wedding in Ealdor. I don't know what he's going to say though."

Morgana emerged from behind the screen wearing a long sleeved wrap that falls to her ankles. "It has to be something good otherwise Uther not let just the four of us go." she said sitting down on the edge of her bed.

Just then Arthur walked in and smiled at Gwen before looking at Merlin. "Did you tell them?"

"Yeah I just finished telling them when you walked in. What did Uther say?"

"The four of us are to leave at dawn tomorrow."

"How did you pull it off? I was just saying that you would have to come up with something pretty convincing for Uther to let just the four of us go."

"Well I told him that there was a wedding going off in Cenreds Kingdom and a Lady that I met when I went to Ealdor last time, invited me and asked if I could bring Morgana as well. He thought that the Lady in question was from Ealdor, and I told him that I didn't spend all my time in Ealdor when I was away from Camelot."

"Yes you did." Merlin stated.

"No I didn't. It's a two day ride from here to Ealdor so technically when I left Camelot, even though I didn't know where we were, I knew that we weren't in Ealdor, so I wasn't lying."

"No you were just being crafty." Gwen said smiling.

"Yeah. And when my father realised I got to know a Lady and she likes me enough to go there for an invite he said that it was best not to keep this Lady waiting and that I should leave tomorrow at dawn. He knows that Merlin and Guinevere will be coming with us."

"Who is this Lady that has invited you to a wedding then?" asked Morgana.

"Hunith."

Merlin frowned. "Hun-? My mother?"

"Yes Merlin, unless you know any other Hunith's?"

"Well no, but, my mother is not a Lady"

"Well she's not a bloke is she."

"You know what I mean."

"I do Merlin."

"Wait a minute. You didn't get invited. I did."

"I know that Merlin, but you're my servant. If someone invites you to something, they invite me. Come on. We need to go and pack and let Morgana have her bath before the water gets cold." he kissed Gwen before leaving and Merlin went to follow him when Morgana called him.

"Merlin. Care to join me?" she teased gesturing towards the bath knowing full well he wouldn't be able to even he wanted to because he had to pack if they were to leave at dawn.

Merlin groaned. "That's not fair. Why did you have to ask that? You know I can't."

Morgana giggled. "I'm sorry."

"I'll forgive you. If you give me a preview of what I'll be missing."

Morgana grinned and opened her robe but shut it quickly as Arthur came back to see why Merlin hadn't followed. "What's going on here?"

Merlin started stuttering and tried to come up with an excuse whilst Morgana just stood there smiling at him.

"You know what? I don't wanna know. Even though I can guess. Come on Merlin." this time Arthur grabbed Merlin by the arm and pulled him out of the room with him.

Merlin woke up to someone roughly shaking his arm. "No Gaius. Not yet. His royal pratness can wait."

"Nice to know what you really think of me idiot."

Merlin opened his eyes and saw Arthur stood over him looking at him with an irritated look on his face. "Tell me something Merlin. When I said that we are to leave at dawn, what do you think that means?"

"That we are up before sunrise so we can be on our way."

"Exactly. So tell me why you are still in bed as the sun is starting to rise?"

Merlin shot up out of bed and began to get his clothes for the day. "Everything is down at the stables and Morgana and Guinevere are there as well. Get dressed and be there in five minutes." Arthur turned and walked out of Merlin's room muttering "idiot" as he left.

Merlin walked to the stables to find Arthur, Gwen and Morgana already on their horses and Arthur holding on to the reins of Merlin's horse. "What a way to be woken up Merlin."

Merlin looked at Morgana who was smiling at him. "I've had better wake up calls." he said causing Morgana to blush.

"Ugh Merlin I don't wanna know." Arthur said looking from Merlin to Morgana. "Get on your horse so we can set off." As soon as Merlin got on his horse Arthur signalled for his horse to move and Merlin, Gwen and Morgana followed.

As it started to get dark Arthur got off his horse. "This seems like a good place to camp." Arthur walked up to Gwen and put his hands on her waist and helped her off her horse. Gwen put her hands on Arthur's shoulders and eased herself off the horse. "Thank you Arthur."

"You're welcome Guinevere." Arthur turned to Merlin to see him and Morgana doing the same as what he and Gwen just did.

Gwen got some blankets out of one of the packs and laid them on the ground for them to sit on.

Arthur got all four horses by their reins. "Merlin. I'll water the horses. You go and get some wood to start a fire."

Once Arthur disappeared from view Merlin put his outstretched hand towards the sky. Morgana and Gwen looked up and heard Merlin say an incantation. As soon as he said it, Gwen and Morgana saw a thick branch snap from a tree and float to the ground. Once on the ground, Merlin said another incantation and the thick branch transfigured in to smaller pieces.

"Seeing that. It makes me wonder if you use your magic for every chore I give you." Merlin turned and saw Arthur walking towards them all. "Where are the horses?"

"I let them run away and thought it would be more fun to walk to Ealdor." Arthur said sarcastically. "Where do you think they are? They're tied up near the stream."

"I had to use magic to get wood because it's dark and we're in the middle of the woods. I couldn't leave Morgana and Gwen on their own. Someone would have to protect them if someone came along."

"Oh yes Merlin. I can just see it. Two robbers come across Morgana and Gwen and then spot you who is their protector and think 'oh no, we better leave this one because that scrawny bloke is no match for us'."

"Scrawny maybe. But it hasn't stopped me saving your royal backside more times then I care to remember."

To Merlin's surprise, Arthur chuckled. "Come on. Let's all get some sleep." Arthur settled down next to Gwen and Merlin settled down next to Morgana.

The next chapter will be up within two to three days.
