Lancelot hoped a smile was pasted to his face. He couldn't believe the gossip when his arrived at school today. Arthur and Gwen were in love. Arthur and Gwen are a couple. The words ripped a huge gaping hole into his soul. He told Arthur to look after Gwen-not date her. Arthur, the guy that threw a fit over his relationship with Gwen, was now dating her? It was almost too much for Lance to bear.

She stood before him with such shocked wide brown eyes-like a doe. How could they have done this to him? Lancelot blocked out that he hadn't called, text, or emailed anyone except Merlin for months. He broke up with Gwen before his departure.

He fumed silently.

Taking a deep breath, Gwen smiled at Lancelot. "You're back."

"Yes, my Father was promoted again."

"It's good to see you."

"Really?"

Gwen realized that Lancelot knew about her relationship with Arthur. He didn't call or write. Gwen felt that she didn't own Lancelot anything.

"Yes, you're a good friend. Arthur will be quite please about your return. He's my boyfriend."

Gwen leaned on her locker door as emotions crossed Lance's face. He hadn't expected pure honesty and disregard form Gwen. In the past, she had always gone with his plans because he had a tight schedule... practice and other junk.

"That's lovely. Congrats."

Gwen grinned; her dark head turning to see Arthur striding towards them. A concerned look marred his handsome features. Gwen offered Arthur a hand; he brushed around Lancelot to envelope Gwen into a tight embrace. His arm hung possessively across her shoulders. His serious blue eyes met Lancelot's cool dark eyes.

"Lancelot, when did you return?"

"A few days ago… not soon enough."

"Good to have you back.

Lie. Lancelot moved before his stomach empty onto Arthur's shiny shoes. "You make a cute couple."

Lancelot had to get way. Gwen was his first love. She meant everything to me. All's fair in love and fair, Arthur. Be sure that you can keep her.

Gwen's small body shook with regret. She felt awful hurting Lance. He dumped me, and he never called. It was awful I never thought that I would see him again…

"None of that."

"None of what?"

Arthur tipped her chin up until their eyes met. "We didn't do anything wrong. He left."

Gwen shut her eyes," I don't know-"

"No doubts."

Arthur brushed his lips across Gwen's mouth quickly. Gwen's eyes widened. Quickly, she searched the hall. She slapped his chest.

"I AM NOT ATTENDING SCHOOL ON SATURDAY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR LIPS AWAY FROM MINE DURING SCHOOL HOURS, ARTHUR EDWARD PENDRAGON," Gwen yelled.

Saturday school was awful. They sat for three hours before winter break with their hands folded.

"It was worth," Arthur teased.

Gwen rolled her eyes. "If you say so."

"By the way, I've seen Lancelot kiss you… mine are way better."

"You watched."

"Yeah… so."

"Arthur."

"I love you."

"Ditto."

"I hate that… say it."

"My heart feels things for you," Gwen teased.

She slipped from under his arm, and raced towards Latin.

"Just wait until tonight."

"Promises… Promises," Gwen called over her shoulder.

Arthur leaned back smiling. "Are you my girl?"

"Unfortunately."

"You love every second of my awesomeness."

"What are you Kung Fu Panda?" Gwen yelled from the stairway.

Morgana waited until she heard Uncle Aggy retreating to his suite. Carefully, she hurried down the stairs, and slipped outside of the Pendragon home. She rushed and slide into Morgause's waiting Audi.

"That took forever, Morgana."

Morgana shrugged. "He watched a bit of Telly."

"I have very important people for you to meet."

Morgause was lonely after Cenred was sent home because he was pulled over driving with his stash of crystal meth. Their father was not amused. So, Cenred was banished to grandmother's manor. Morgause had too much time on her hands.

Why didn't you tell me?"

Merlin didn't know how to respond to Lance's question. He broke up with Gwen. He didn't call or email… nothing. Arthur and Gwen were really a sweet accident. It took Arthur a long time to admit his feelings.

"I don't know."

How did it what happened?"

Merlin sighed. "Well, boy married girl in class. Boy hurt his ankle. Gwen doted on him. Boy saw something. Girl saw something. Car accident… equals love.

"What the hell was that?'

"The condensed version."

"Thanks."

Lance was so very annoyed to find Gwen happily dating Arthur. She beamed like a child on Christmas.

"Lance, I'm sorry."

"Don't be." I'll get her back.
