This is an AU piece which may stay as a one shot or might not, depending on whether or not I get any more inspiration for it, but it's based around about the gap between Series 3 and 4. It is very odd to start off with, so sorry about that!
The Sense Storers were always busy. Alternately filling and emptying the great cylinders of sensibleness was hard work. The life Storers had it lucky, all they had to do was make sure things were emptying at the right pace, but Sense Storers? Well first you just had to make sure people had enough at the beginning of their lives, bu then things just got harder.
The cylinders tended to leak all over the place, especially during the school years. Or when there were members of the opposite sex involved. Or alcohol. Or worse, BOTH! There was a reason "Pretty Girls and Peer Pressure!" was a common curse around the Sense vaults.
Now normally there were very little problems, a little mopping up and cracked glass fixing ("Sodden six year old tree climbers!"), but today there had been a massive leak. And from one of the larger cylinders too! This meant that there was lost Sense sloshing around the Storers feet. Once they had managed to bucket it back into the cylinder, they wiped their foreheads and looked at the name on the cylinder.
""Morganna Pendragon, Hidden Mystical Cave, formerly Camelot Castle." That's strange." Mused a little, old stooped over Storer, with his squeaky voice.
"What?" Asked his much younger apprentice.
"Oh, it's just Pendragons don't tend to have big cylinders, I do hope this hasn't caused anything unfortunate to happen. It would be dreadful if the only Sensible person in Camelot lost all their Sensibleness." He murmured, looking upset.
"Oh, I'm sure nothing too bad will have happened." Replied his apprentice (someone who obviously needed another bucket of Sense himself), "Nothing really bad could have occurred, could it?"
"I hope not, you should have seen all the trouble we got into when that Glasspecker got into the Trojan section, leaks all over the place. You could have launched a thousand ships in there! We never heard the end of it, they wrote Leaking POEMS about it!" He shook his head sadly.
"Well I'm sure it's not a big deal, no one has probably noticed." Shrugged the Apprentice.
"Yes, I'm sure you're right. Tea time now, at any rate, so we can't do anything until after that." And off they toddled. Not knowing the chaos they left behind them.
.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
Morganna rolled over on her uncomfortable stone and dried grass pallet, muttering about a terrible dream she had had.
"Oh really, Ssssiiiisssstttteeeerrrr? I thought you had stopped having those months ago?" Said Morgause.
This caused Morganna to snap her eyes open and look at her sister. Before widely casting her eyes around at the damp, dingy cave they were occupying. She pinched herself, before screwing up her eyes and screaming "Nooooooooo!" until her voice was hoarse and her sister deafened.
I'm not entirely sure where this came from, I mean I think I made an off the cuff remark to Eidolon02 (go read his stuff, it's really good!) about "it's like Morganna suddenly lost all the sensibleness she was known for in the first series" but still it's very weird and AU. If anyone knows if I've accidentally borrowed this idea from someone please tell me as it seems too weird to have come from my head and I'm sure I must have borrowed it! Oh and if you review (hint hint ;-) ) could you please leave the most ridiculous Mary Sue name you've come across? I've just got an idea for the (vaguely possible) second chapter and I am really bad at coming up with bad names (usually a blessing, but not when I actually need stupid names). Thanks!
