Merlin Ambrosius was having an absolute writer's block. He was laying on his stomach in the lounge of their record label. He looked at what he had so far. A blank page.
Yep, definitely writer's block. It didn't help that Gwaine and Will were playing a game of paper ball toss around him. And that Freya and gwen were singing a Taylor swift song loudly. And Nimueh and Rayna was Figuring out sime electronic sounds for their next single. Lancelot was the only one not ignoring him, but only because he was busy sleeping on the other couch. Thank god he didn't snore.
Suddenly Kilgarrah came in. He was head of dragon records and was the man who had signed him to the label. "Dogs, I have a proposal"
"Aw, who to?" Joked Gwaine. The band laughed.
"how would you like to go on tour with the Knights"
The band looked at him, like he lost his mind.
"Aren't they from Camelot Records?" asked Freya
"Yes, it's our way of making friends with them" Said Kilgarrah
"more like signing a peace treaty" said Lancelot
"I think it's an excellent idea" said Gwen. Merlin rolled his eyes.
"Merlin. Convince the rest of the band to do it, I'll be in my office." Said Kilgarrah, He exited the room handing merlin a folder with all the info in course Merlin had to convince them, since he was (at least in kilgarrah's mind) the band leader.
"Guys it will be great publicity. They're the new group that everyone's listening to. According to this we open a few shows for them, they open a few for us. Then on the last night in each location a concert of half us, half them. It'll be fun." Said Merlin.
The band shared a look before Freya, with a look on her face as though she was signing their death said "fine"
"great" said Merlin
At Camelot Records
"What!" Screeched Arthur
"It'll will be good. They are an old group maybe they can teach you guys a few things." said Uther
"But-" started Arthur
"No buts" said Uther leaving the room.
"Why do we have to do a tour with those guys. Are they even cool anymore?" asked Arthur
"According to all magazines and to the amount of people who spend money to see them and to but their CDs. yes, yes they are" said Morgause
"It's so unfair. Why them?" Asked Arthur
"It's so the 2 records have a reason to get on good terms. Think about it, it might be fun" said Percival.
"Well apparently we have to go and meet the band for lunch" said Morgana walking in having been told by Uther as he walked down the hall.
"Joy" said Arthur
At lunch
The 2 bands met at Dragon Records. The knights had walked in to find the Lost Avalon band members doing a spin on Fast car By Boyce avenue. In this spin there were more instruments then there were in the original.
Freya on an acoustic guitar, Lancelot on electric and Will on bass. Gwaine on drums (he somehow managed to get the drums in the song and to play them soft so they suited the song.) Gwen on piano and Nimueh on the tambourine. Merlin and his younger sister Rayna were singing.
When they finally finished, The knights all clapped. Lost Avalon put their instruments down and walked to the area that lunch was. Their was a table for the adults to talk at as the teens (and pre teen) sat down in the many, many beanbags.
"So you guys were great" said Leon
"Thanks." said Gwaine on behalf of the band
"so are you singing that on the tour?" Asked Elyan
"No that was just for fun" said Will.
"so we don't really know your names believe it or not" saidArthur
"we don't know you're names" said Merlin
"Well I'm Arthur. This is Morgana, Morgause, Leon, Percival, Mordred and Elyan." Arthur said motioning to each person in turn
"Well I'm Merlin. The guitarists you saw were Freya, Lancelot and Will. The drummer is Gwaine. That tambourine player was Nimueh who normally does the electric sounds in our songs. The keyboardist is Gwen and the young 11 year old next to me is Rayna"
"nice to meet you guys" said Mordred.
"So why is Rayna in your group. I mean she was great but isn't she a little young?" asked Morgana
"Rayna's my little sister. She sings a few songs on our albums." Said Merlin
"Cool" said Leon. "So what do you guys wanna do"
"Hey did I tell you guys about a song I saw on how I met your mother? It's so funny" asked Nimueh to her group
"No" said Merlin. And that was how they ended up watching P.S. I love you for the third time in the past 10 minutes.
"Wow" said Arthur.
"yep" said nimueh.
Lunch then finished and 'The knights' left the Dragon Records building.
'Maybe. Just maybe. This tour won't be so bad after all' thought Arthur
