AN: A reviewer has alerted me to the fact that my tenses in this chapter and the next were not always correct and I was jumping between tenses so I have edited this chapter and the next so that they read better.

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin, the BBC do.

Chapter 1: Mutual Friends

I'm fast asleep, warm and cozy in my bed, having a pleasant dream about the many hot men that reside in this castle. Well, I say many men but there are two in particular. And it's not a very dirty dream…but I'm really enjoying it when there is a sudden knock on my door.

"Lady Morgana?" I hear Gwen call from behind the door.

I give a loud sigh and wish such a thing as soundproofing existed, so I could soundproof this room and have no interruptions. Ever. Still agitated about being awoken from my dream I try to sound pleasant as I shout Gwen in.

"Come in Gwen."

"Good Morning Lady Morgana." Gwen said politely as she enters my room. "Lovely day isn't it?" She asks me and I smile my agreement.

I notice that Gwen is looking unusually happy. She has a wide smile on her face and her voice is uncharacteristically chirpy, and it dawns on me. She must have seen Merlin this morning. She's always fawning over him, always talking about him. I admit Gwen is more of a friend to me than a maid, but I really can't help but get a little bit jealous when she goes on about Merlin all the time.

Just a little bit!

"Morgana?" Gwen enquires softly.

"Sorry Gwen, daydreaming. What is it?"

"I wanted to know what dress you wanted to wear." Gwen asked holding up two dresses for me to look at. 'This could be fun!' is the first thought that comes to mind.

One dress is dark purple, made of silk, long and sleeveless. The other is a pale blue colour and made of a thin floaty material. It's very long and trails off the ground at the back and is complete with long puffy sleeves. I try to think which dress each of the men would prefer.

The purple one is tighter and hugs my curves, which I know will drive one of the boys absolutely wild. Whereas the other boy will without a doubt appreciate the blue dress which is more see through and would show off my figure in a more obvious way.

After a lot of careful consideration I make my decision. "The purple one please Gwen." Gwen carefully lays my chosen dress over a chair and I roll out of bed to get dressed. I pull my night dress off over my head and drop it onto my bed, which Gwen immediately begins to tidy. She folds up my night dress and smoothes down my bed until the silk sheets are neat and tidy.

I slide my dress on over my head and I can feel the cold soft material glide down my skin. Gwen comes immediately to my side to fix my dress at the back. This particular dress exposes my back, and is pulled together with purple ribbon which Gwen is now lacing together. She finishes with my dress and informs me she is going to get me some fresh fruit for breakfast. I smooth down my dress unnecessarily and carefully brush my long wavy hair. Spinning around slowly I check my appearance in the mirror and smile widely. "I'm sure I'm going to make someone very happy today." I mutter to myself and wait patiently for Gwen to return.

Many thanks to my beta and best friend, xxoxLOVELESSxoxx.

Please read and review. It will make me very happy and any advice would be great too!
