And suddenly I appeared in the Merlin world. I gasped in shock before gasping in horror.
I had no tampons!
I gaped for a while before remembering I was standing in the middle of the throne room, right in the middle of a just-ended meeting. "Err…. Hi. I know this is random and confusing and just plain weird… But right now I haven't the time to answer your questions. I need a toilet and some 'feminine items' stat!"
They all looked at me blankly.
"Err… The toilet's that way…" Merlin pointed. "What are 'feminine items'?"
"Like what girls need when... TOM* is a-visiting?" I tried, wincing at saying this in front of four guys.
"When who's visiting?" Arthur asked.
"You know! TOM! It's that time of the month?" I tried agitatedly, grinding my teeth at the blank looks. "Aunt Flo's a-visiting? I'm riding the crimson wave?" They still didn't know what I was talking about. "I'm on the blob?" Still blank looks. "My monthly gift? My PERIOD?" I sighed in defeat as they still looked confused. Suddenly I remembered what my mum had said once about the Japanese word for period. "The tears of a disappointed womb?" I suggested hesitantly. I almost screamed as they started looking at me like I was insane. "Fortheloveofgodandallthatisholy!" I hissed, I couldn't believe I was actually going to say this... "I am bleeding from my vagina." I said in a deadly serious voice, daring any of them to poke any fun.
They just stared at me in horror.
"OH FOR PETE'S SAKE!" I shrieked. "Just direct me to the NEAREST woman, or you will be cleaning up a mess none of you will ever want to remember!"
Merlin pointed to where Gewn had just come in.
"Thank you. And I'm disappointed in you Gaius. You don't even know about the menstrual cycle?" I huffed as I ran to Gwen. "You wonderful, wonderful woman; tell me, please, that you know what a period is!"
"Oh my goodness, you mean…" She started dissolving into laughter.
"Yes, I tried asking them, and they hadn't a clue!" I hissed. Gwen continued laughing, after a few seconds I interrupted her. "Can you laugh after my problem's dealt with? It's just that it's kinda urgent."
"Of course, this way." Gwen chuckled. "Why did you even ask them, if I may ask?"
"Well, where I'm from, guys know about it and know to be wary of women at that time of the month, although they do take the mick when you're younger." I answered easily. Gwen handed me a wad of cotton and ran to the bathroom faster than I knew I could.
LOL! Just a random idea I had while thinking about euphemisms for periods XD
*This is something me and my friends made up, TOM= Time Of the Month XP
Hoping you get as much enjoyment out of reading this as I did writing it :)
