Sadly I don't own Merlin. It belongs to the BBC.

This story will only have two chapters. I know that they are short but this two chapter story is where you will see Arthur and Merlin getting in the mood for April fools day.

Enjoy :D


Chapter one. Arthur fools Merlin.


It was the first day of the month and Arthur was up and dressed and sat at his table when Merlin came in with his breakfast. "You're up and dressed."

"Really? I thought I was still in bed asleep." Arthur replied sarcastically. Merlin set Arthur's breakfast down in front of him and waved his hand towards Arthur's bed and Arthur saw it make itself whilst Merlin was walking around picking things up.

"Do you use your magic for every little thing you do?"

"No. Before you knew about my magic I had to make your bed myself, Gaius makes me make my bed without using magic. He actually stands and watches me in case I do use magic. I make your bed how I want. And I want to use magic."

Arthur ate some of his breakfast and stood up. "Just make sure you're not caught."

"I'm not that stupid."

"Not your wisest choice of words." Arthur muttered before leaving.


It was later on in the morning when Arthur came barging into his chambers. "What have you done? The last thing I said to you was to be careful. And what have you done? You've got yourself caught."

Merlin dropped the helmet he was currently polishing. "Who saw me?" Merlin said, starting to panic.

"A guard. He has been and told my father and my father has sent me to find you. You need to leave Merlin."

"What about your father?"

"I will tell him that you must have got wind that we was looking for you and left. You need to go Merlin. Now."

Merlin nodded and ran from Arthur's chambers. When Arthur was sure that Merlin was out of earshot, he burst out laughing. "April fools Merlin."


Merlin ran into Gaius' chambers and slammed the door behind him making Gaius jump. "Merlin? What's the matter with you?"

"Arthur's told me that Uther has found out about my magic and that he sent Arthur to get me. I have to leave Camelot."

Merlin frowned when Gaius started laughing. "Why are you laughing?"

"Today is the 1st of April Merlin. Also known as April fools day. And how you came running in here with that panicked look on your face I say he fooled you good and proper." Merlin sighed and calmed down. After five minutes, Merlin started pacing. "I think I should give Arthur a taste of his own medicine."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to get my own back. With just a little help from you."


That's chapter one done. Chapter two which will be Merlin getting his own back will be up tomorrow.
