"Merlin, I'm bored" Arthur sighed, its was a Sunday evening and they were bored, for some reason it was so quiet, no enemy attacks, dangerous beasts or threats against Camelot. It was too peaceful. Suddenly the silence was broken, when Gwen and Morgana burst through the door giggling holding bottles of wine.

"Morgana" Arthur shouted, clearly she and Gwen were drunk. Morgana and Gwen just continue to giggle, Merlin was sniggering at the sight of his two friends in such a state, Arthur shot him a look although he also was trying not to laugh.

"so…do you want to play a game of dares with us?" Morgana said slightly slurred, Gwen smiled in agreement.

"I'm in" Merlin said smiling with his hand in the air.

"Arthur?" they said in sync with each other.

"alright" Arthur said frowning slightly, before handing everyone a drink.

"Merlin your first" Gwen said smiling, before taking a small sip of her drink. "I dare you to go outside and run around the courtyard shouting 'the giant rats are coming, take cover', do you accept the dare" she added

"I accept the dare" Merlin said slightly worried about the consequences, as he ran out of the room. The others gathered around the window, it wasn't quite dark yet so people were still around, Merlin was running around thrashing his arms shouting "the giant rats are coming, take cover" though it was slightly slurred due to the cup of wine he had just drunk, he staggered back into the room, he was sweating and his messy black hair was stuck to his forehead. He caught his breath then sat down to continue the game.

Arthur was next, Merlin dared him to go to the top of the castle roofs shout at the top of his voice "I prince Arthur am a prat" for two whole minutes Arthur was not happy about this dare but did it anyway, Merlin, Morgana and Gwen were laughing as they heard Arthur who was slurring as he spoke.

-you are so going to pay for that Merlin" he said glaring as he struggled not to laugh.

"Morgana its your turn" Arthur said menacingly "I dare you to go to Uther's chambers and steal all of his clothes" Morgana looked stunned, and then smiled before she got up and headed out of the room, five minutes later she wandered back in with Uther's clothes smiling waving them around like a trophy. They all giggled and then looked in Gwen's direction, they all burst out laughing when they saw Gwen had fallen asleep with a bottle in her hand.

"Gwen" Merlin said shaking her lightly, Gwen woke up startled "I-I wasn't asleep" she started "I was just-" she was cut off by a large hiccup, she blushed then hiccupped again. They all laughed and drunk more wine.

Next morning Merlin was the first to wake up, his head was pounding and he could feel his face against the cold floor, the light was shining through the windows, Merlin sighed and closed his eyes again. Then the door slammed open, it was Uther.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE MY CLOTHES" he shouted staring at them in disbelief on the floor, then he saw the wine bottles and his clothes, he grabbed them and frowned as he walked out, quietly closing the door behind him.
