Welcome back dear readers to The Misadventures of Jenny and Katie: King Arthur-Knights Misadventures in Time Traveling! Wow, that title is still a mouthful.

Now everyone, welcome to the three-day awaited Day 1, Part 1. Day one is being split into about 4 parts because all together Day one is 42 pages long…Here's eleven of them.

Day 1: Part 1 Disclaimer: No, we do not own King Arthur, we tried, and we tried, we even petitioned for the rights, again, but we still failed…We also don't own Battlestar Galactica (though we really, really, really wish we did). And also, we don't own Evanescence or their amazing song 'Call Me When You're Sober'.

In Day 1, our dear heroines Katie and Jenny will be teaching the knights about modern technology, like cars, TV's, DVD players, forks, and of course modern hygiene!

NOTE: In the phone calls that are received/made in this chapter, the '….' Signify the person from the other line's response. Long story short, you're just hearing Jenny or Katie's side of the conversation.

And here we go with Day 1: Part 1!


The next morning Katie woke to someone poking her arm.

'Can't be Jenny,' She thought, not remembering what happened the previous night, 'No way in hell she'd be getting up this early'

As a reflex, she socked whoever it was in the nose, hoping they would go away.

Katie groaned and rolled over after hearing muffled curses, but whoever it was was really persistent, as they poked her again, "What?" She mumbled.

"Umm, I apologize for waking you up lady," Arthur said, holding his nose, "but your house cat is doing something to Tristan."

"Huh?" Katie muttered before looking around, and remembering the happenings of the previous night, "Could have sworn that was a dream." She mumbled to herself.

Katie groaned and sat up; the knights were sitting in various places around the room, some looking at her and others looking at Tristan. Jenny was still sleeping on her couch.

"First off," She began, her speech slightly slurred, "Don't call me lady, my parents gave me the name Katie…actually they gave me the name Kathryn, but I hate that name, so don't use that one, use Katie….Now what's your problem?"

"Your cat is doing something to Tristan." Arthur repeated.

"Should burn it at the stake." She heard Galahad mutter.

"NO burning Starbuck at the stake Galahad!" Katie said as she got up.

She looked at Tristan who was sitting on the ground with his back against the couch, Starbuck napping on his lap, purring.

Katie rolled her eyes, and the knights heard her mutter something that sounded suspiciously like babies.

She picked Starbuck off Tristan's lap and walked into the kitchen.

Katie placed the cat on the island in the middle of the kitchen and looked at the knights who were crowded on the other side of the island watching her.

"It's waaaay too early for this." Katie said to herself as she pulled a two bowls out of one of the cabinets and lifted a large box onto the island. She filled one of bowl with water, and then she opened the box and scooped out some of its contents.

"It that our breakfast?" A hungry Bors asked, after all time travel made you hungry.

Or so one would think.

Katie rolled her eyes; yep it was WAY too early to deal with inquisitive knights from the dark ages, "No," she said, "This is Starbuck's breakfast, unless you'd really like to try cat food. There's more than enough, but apparently it tastes like crap to humans. JENNY." She called into the other room as she placed the bowl in front of Starbuck, and startling the knights as she did the night before.

"What?" Jenny muttered as she walked in, then she saw the knights, "HOLY SHIT! Katie! Arthur and the Sarmatian knights are standing in your kitchen!"

"I thought we established that last night." Gawain wondered.

Jenny looked at them for a moment, "Oh, right. Morning guys!" She chirped as she sat down on one of the stools that lined the island.

"Jen, we need to feed the human bottomless pits. Time travel's probably making them hungry."

Jenny walked over to the freezer and began to pull out the frozen waffles that Katie's brother and sister ate religiously, and began putting the waffles on plates so she could microwave them.

Lancelot, not knowing that they needed to be cooked reached over to grab a plate, but his hand was smacked away by Jenny who had magically procured a spatula from the put they resided in across the room, "Wait till they're cooked genius."

Jenny moved to put the plates when she heard Evanescence's song 'Call Me When You're Sober' start playing from Katie's cell phone, signaling that she had a call.

Jenny continued as normal, since she was from a time of the technologically advanced, but the knights, who weren't, yelped and looked at the flat rectangular object like it was going to possess them.

Hey, it could happen.

"Calm down, it's just my phone." Katie said, trying to calm the knights.

"What does it do?" asked Dagonet.

"It enables me to talk to people that are far away," She looked at the caller id, "Now be quiet, I have to take this," She said, flipping the phone open, "You've reached Katie's cell phone, how may she help you this fine Saturday morning, and yes I know I'm up at a very ungodly hour... Oh hey Dad….Yeah, we're doing great. How was your flight?...Great. Lancelot don't do that." Katie scolded as the Dark Knight started pushing buttons on the microwave, "Sorry Dad…. Of course we're watching it again. Galahad stop being so childish," She scolded again as he started throwing cat food at Starbuck, angering the cat, "Yeah, we're at that part again….I don't know, maybe will move on to Battlestar Galactica later…. Don't worry about us, we're doing fine." The microwave beeped and startled the knights again, "Sorry Dad, gotta go, breakfast is ready….later…bye."

Katie hung up her phone, and put it down on the island, and glanced at all the knights, who were for the most part staring at her, and had listened to her half of the conversation, "Must you eavesdrop on my phone calls?"

"Who were you speaking with?" Tristan asked, eyeing the phone suspiciously.

"That was her dad. Now here's breakfast." Jenny said as she placed the waffles in front of the knights.

"What is this odd contraption?" Gawain asked picking up a fork.

"It's a fork," Katie answered, "You stab the food with it, it makes eating easier and cleaner."

"Why can't we just use our hands?" Bors asked curiously.

"Because people from the future are civilized and clean…speaking of which, you all desperately need to bathe." Jenny said.

"That'll be our next project," Katie told her, before turning back to the knights, "And don't make too much of a mess, I hate washing dishes."

"Isn't that your job?" Arthur asked.

Katie and Jenny glared at him, "Just because I have one brain, boobs, and I will one day give birth to the next generation so they can screw up the world more than my generation will does not mean my sole purpose in life is to pick up after the male species and do their dishes! These aren't the Dark Ages anymore!" Katie ranted.

"What do you mean by one brain?" Dag asked, "Doesn't everyone have one brain."

"No," Jenny corrected, "Men have two. And they tend to use the lower one."

The knights all stared at her for a moment before coming to a sudden realization of what the girls were talking about, and with that, they all went back to their breakfasts.


A short while later, the girls and knights were enjoying their breakfasts of waf-fullz as the knights called it, when the subject of how to blend the knights in to 21st century society came up.

"So," Arthur began between bites of waffles, "What are we going to do until you figure out how to get us back to our time?"

Katie and Jenny glanced at each other, "Good question," Katie said, "We have no idea what to do about getting you back to the past, but there is one major thing that needs to be fixed in order for you all to blend in with modern society."

"What's that?" Lancelot asked.

"Well, next to bathing, you all need clothes." Katie answered.

"Does your dad have anything that could fit them?" Jenny asked.

"Probably not," Katie answered, "Think you can call your brother without raising a lot of suspicions?"

Jenny looked at her best friend, "Yeah, I'll just call him and ask for two weeks worth of clothes for seven men, that not suspicious at all." She said sarcastically.

"Actually it's very suspicious." Tristan corrected.

Jenny smacked her forehead, "I was being sarcastic."

"Just call him," Katie said, "I'm sure you'll think of something, it's not like he's actually seen it before."

"Seen what before?" Galahad asked.

"Nothing." They answered at the same time.

Jenny picked up the cordless from the counter behind her and dialed her brother's number, noting the knights were staring at her, and planning to listen to her conversation as well.

Katie just went on with her breakfast.

Jenny's brother picked up on the second ring, "Hey it's me…I need a HUGE favor…No, it's not money this time…please?... I need about two weeks worth of clothes for seven men….yes I'm serious…must I?...Fine…Katie and I are doing an extra credit project and we have to wear men's clothing for it….Thanks…yes I know I owe you…bye." Jenny hung up and put the phone back into the charger.

"Nice excuse." Katie said.

"He'll be here in an hour…without traffic….And he thinks we're insane."

Katie shrugged, "Doesn't surprise me."

"You are used to people thinking you're crazy?" Gawain asked.

"Don't worry; it's not just you guys." Jenny answered.


After breakfast, Katie and Jenny had the knights dump their plates and forks in the sink to be dealt with later, and returned to the living room.

The knights were sitting on the couches that were Katie and Jenny's beds, as Katie walked back and forth, looking at each of them, muttering to herself, while waiting for Jenny who had disappeared upstairs five minutes ago.

"Alright," Katie began as she stopped pacing, "For your second lesson in how to blend in to modern times, Jenny and I are going to teach you all how to bathe."

The knights looked at Katie like she had five heads, "But we already know how to bathe." Lancelot said.

"Nowhere near modern standards though." Jenny said as she walked down the stairs holding a bunch of brightly colored garments.

"You all need to bathe desperately, and we are going to teach you all how to use modern baths called showers." Katie said as she took some of the bright clothes from Jenny.

"Who do you want to take?" Jenny asked.

Katie looked at the knights for a moment, "I'll take Arthur, Tristan, and Dag. You can take Galahad, Bors and Lancelot."

Jenny nodded in consent, "What about me?" Gawain asked.

Katie and Jenny shared a look, "You're a special case." Jenny said.

"For our sanity, you're going last." Katie finished.

"And that you don't want his hair to clog to shower drain." Jenny added.

"Right." Katie affirmed before taking her group of knights to her bathroom that was just off her bedroom, and Jenny took her group upstairs.


Katie led the knights into her bathroom and shut the door, "Here." She said as she handed each knight a pair of brightly colored swim trunks.

The knights began examining them, "What is this?" Tristan asked holding a pair of electric blue swim trunks with lightening bolts scatted all over them in an even brighter blue.

Katie sighed, "They're called swim trunks. Kinda like underwear."

Arthur, Dag, and Tristan looked at her, confused.

Ok so Tristan didn't look confused because he rarely changed his facial expression, but Katie guessed that he was too.

"They're like pants," She explained, "Now I'm going to go outside, and you're going to take off all your clothes and put them on."

"Why do we need these swim trunks if we will be bathing?" Dag asked examining his pair of swim trunks which were yellow and had bright smiley faces printed on them.

Katie looked at him, "Do you really think I'm going to let you use something you have never seen or heard of unsupervised?"

Arthur nodded while holding his bright orange swim trunks that had various pictures of fruit on them.

"Idiot." Katie muttered, "Just…change, and tell me when I can come back in."

Katie stood outside the bathroom, listening for any sign that one of the knights had slipped and fallen into the toilet or found her makeup drawer or something drastic to that end, but nothing happened, and five minutes later Arthur called her back into the bathroom.

Katie opened the door and walked in, and just had to stop a second and take all this in, 'Holy shit this is going to be interesting' She thought as she looked at the knights who were in nothing but brightly colored swim trunks and looking extremely out of place.

'Out of place, but incredibly sexy.' Katie thought before sending her silent apologies to Guin and Fulcinia.

"Alright," Katie said, slightly averting her eyes, "Now I'm going to teach you how a shower works, and you're all going to take turns, and hopefully not turn the bottom of my shower black with all the accumulated dirt."

Katie the quickly showed them how to use the hot and cold knobs to adjust the temperature, and explained to them the concept of shampoo and conditioner.

This bathroom had the anti-dandruff stuff that didn't make your hair smell like Fresh Creamy Peaches or Sweet Strawberry Pudding, so she knew that the knights wouldn't have a problem with it.

But she wondered if Galahad would mind smelling like Fresh Creamy Peaches or Sweet Strawberry Pudding.

It was something to be discussed with Jenny at a later date.

Arthur was chosen, or forcefully pushed into the glass box by Katie so no arguments could ensue, and Katie plopped herself down on the lid of the toilet, which was between the wall of the room and the half wall that made up her shower, with her feet propped on the counter and a book in hand while Tristan was taking his braids out at Katie's orders and Dag was sitting on a small stool that Katie had brought in for him.

So Katie was sitting, reading her book, when she heard Arthur tapping on the glass above her, "Yes?" She asked, using an old hotel keycard to mark her spot.

"What is this contraption used for?" Arthur asked holding a black razor blade.

"Just put it down Arthur, I don't need you cutting yourself."

"But what is it used for?"

"It's for shaving my legs so they don't get hairy." Katie answered, going back to her book.

"Why would you do that?" Dag asked.

Katie shrugged, "Because females of the present, myself and Jenny included like to look pretty, and you can't look pretty with ugly hair all over your legs….And no Arthur, you do not need to shave, you're supposed to have hairy legs."

"Why?" Arthur asked as he washed out the conditioner in his hair.

"Because it's something guys usually don't do. Now hurry up, I don't want to be here for the next millennium.

Tristan and Dag's showers with off with out a hitch, and now the three knights were sitting in the living room with Gawain who was currently being used as a scratching post by Starbuck. The three knights had towels around their waists waiting for Jenny and the other knights to finish their showers.

Katie was curled up on a chair reading her book, content to ignore the rest of the world.

Then the knights and a very disgruntled Jenny came in from the upstairs bathroom.

But lets go back to see why Jenny is so disgruntled.


"Here," Jenny said handing each of the knights a brightly colored swimming trunk.

The knights looked confused as ever as they examined each trunk from different angles. "What are these clothes," Galahad asked.

Jenny sighed. "They're swimming trunks. Kind of like underwear."

"What is under-wear?" Galahad inquired. Never before have they heard such words.

"You've never heard of…" Jenny started in disbelief. Then she remembered who she was talking to. "Of course. Never mind about underwear, just put these on like pants." She walked out of the bathroom to give the knights their privacy.

The sounds of scuffling and curses invaded her ears just outside the door. No longer hearing and sounds she reentered the room. She peered though the hand covering her eyes to make sure they weren't dead or worse naked.

"Okay, I'll show you how the bath works." Jenny turned the hot water knob. "This is hot." She turned the cold water knob. "This is cold." She then showed them the soap, choosing to forget about the shampoo and conditioner. She didn't think Bors and Lancelot would appreciate smelling like Fresh Creamy Peaches or Sweet Strawberry Pudding. She wasn't so sure about Galahad.

She and Katie would have to discuss it later.

"Simple, no? We'll take turns. Galahad you're first. The rest of you out." Lancelot begrudgingly followed a sauntering Bors out the bathroom.

Jenny instructed Galahad to get into the bath, careful not to slip on the shower surface. "How's the water? Hot? Cold?"

"A little too cold," Galahad said.

Jenny turned the hot water knob.

"Ouch! Now it is too hot," he exclaimed.

Jenny turned the cold water knob.

"Burr!" he shivered. "Too cold!"

Jenny turned the hot water knob again.

"Too hot!"

"Too cold!"

"Too hot!"

"Too cold!"

"Too hot!"

"Too cold!"

Jenny was now fed up Galahad's constant complaining and turned it really hot.

She was rewarded with his painful screams. "TOO HOT! TOO HOT!"

"Sorry," Jenny said sounding anything but. "My hand must have slipped."

Bors had learned his lesson from hearing Galahad's screams of pain and decided to do everything exactly as Jenny told him. Van had already shown him what angering the female species could do. So Bors' bath had gone without problems and Jenny was little happier about it.

But Lancelot was next and her happiness was bound to end.


As soon as the dark knight sauntered into the bathroom Jenny felt all the serenity drain out of her body. He was looking very comfortable despite only wearing swimming trunks.

"Where's his armor when I need it?" Jenny mumbled to herself. The gods of Bunnyism must be having a field day with this one.

She sighed, hoping to get it over with quickly. "Okay Lancelot, get into the shower and pull that flower print curtain all the way to the side so I don't have to see you."

Lancelot smirked much to Jenny's chagrin. "Forceful I see. That's the way I like them."

Jenny shivered but she wasn't sure if it was because a half-naked guy was standing in front of her or because of the blatant innuendo. "Couldn't you use a better pick up line? I mean even the nerd who tried to use astronomy pick up lines from my class last year was more modern that that ancient garbage. The male mind is such a disgusting place." The last comment was more for her benefit than Lancelot's. But he took that sentence to heart.

"Women always say that," he noted, "but they crave male attention and affection anyway."

"I don't crave a thing from you," she declared glaring daggers, "except for you to follow my instructions and get in the shower without having any lurid comments come out your mouth."

The smirk still was plastered on his face as he gingerly treaded into the shower closing the curtain after him.

Not three minutes later did she hear his voice through the loud rush of water.

"You know, I think you just don't want to admit you want to have me around," He poked his head out the curtain for her response.

She smiled seductively. "You know what I think?" she whispered batting her eyelashes.

He shook his head slowly. His brain had trouble adjusting to this new side of her. His eyes followed her movements as she parted the curtain.

"I think," she whispered. "You need a cool down!" Now close enough to execute her plan, she turned the cold water knob.

The result was a freezing cold knight from the Dark Ages. The sight was enough to give Jenny a laughing fit.

Lancelot, on the other hand, was not a happy camper. In his anger he grabbed Jenny's wrist and pulled her into the cold water with him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! COLD!"


And that's that. Day 1 Part 1...
