Boredom + urge to write = great mood for a random drabble! :D

This is actually the first drabble I've written, so I hope you like it! If it gets lots of responses I might carry on with some more! :)

Thanks to Gina Frodo H for giving me an idea (or rather, one random word that I had to work on, you'll probably work out what it is when you read!)

Anyway, hope you enjoy! Reviews are awesome! :D


Deadly Fruit

"Stay back Merlin!" Arthur yelled, clutching his sword tightly.

"What? What is it?" Merlin demanded, eyes wide with worry. He was panting heavily from running all away from his chambers to the Great Hall, the warning bell ringing in his ears.

"A deadly beast has come to storm upon Camelot!"

Merlin looked around the terrified-looking Arthur, and raised an eyebrow.

"Err…is that it?" He asked.

"Yes, stay back!"

"But Arthur…" Merlin stepped forward, "it's a pineapple."

Arthur paused, lowering his sword, "what?"

"A pineapple, a type of fruit. People eat it."

"But how did it get here?"

Merlin shrugged, "don't ask me, we also have potatoes, and we shouldn't have those for another hundred years, we don't know where those came from."

There was a pause. "So it's safe?"

"Yes, why are you so disappointed?" Merlin asked.

Arthur shrugged, "I was bored, I hoped I might be able to fight something." He admitted, but then he gave a smile. "Although, there is an alternative…"

"I. Hate. You. Arthur. Pendragon." Merlin fumed, ducking as much as it was physically possible in the stocks, as more pieces of pineapple came flying in his direction.

He really shouldn't have said it was a fruit.
