Chapter 2 – Newbies, makeovers and Untested potions
Disclaimer: read chapter 1, it's there.
Sorry for the delay but I suffered from the bane of all things good and pure over the weekend.
Uther: Magic?
Voldy: (rolls eyes) no, faulty internet connection.

REVIEW!!!!!
…
The bunk-beds in the purple TARDIS were arranged around the walls, and, mainly because she refused to sleep on the bunk-bed allocated to her, Voldy had a hammock which was strung between 2 sets of bunks.
The only problem with this, Voldy reflected as she was unceremoniously dumped on the floor as the TARDIS started shaking, was that it swayed violently at the slightest movement. The others were still asleep, (with the exception of Mysty, L.C, Soapy, Mira and Cee, who still hadn't returned and were probably wreaking havoc in Camelot somewhere), so she went to investigate what it was that had rudely awoken her at stupid o'clock in the morning.
She happened to pass the clock on the way to the teleport room, which was the source of the disturbance, and groaned; it was one o'clock in the morning – she'd had a grand total of four hours sleep.
She entered the teleportation room in a decidedly bad temper and promptly walked into two girls who had just arrived.
"Ow!"
"Hey!"
"What the hell is going on? Who the hell are you two?"
"Voldy?"
Voldy did a double-take.
"Midge?" she blinked, "Maple? What took you so long?"
She switched on the light to see her friends in a heap on the floor. Maple brushed herself down and hauled Midge to her feet.
"We would have gotten here earlier," Maple grumbled, "If you guys had told us you were coming to Camelot,"
Voldy grinned sheepishly, "we didn't know until Josie and I went hyper and started pushing buttons,"
"So it was your fault?" Midge asked.
"Yes,"
Voldy was bundled by the other two girls and let out a loud squawk of protest. Josie and Paula came storming in with heavy books ready to batter the 2 newbies.
"It's all right!" Voldy explained, "It's not Jack, I don't think he knows we nicked his teleport yet,"
"That's a relief," Paula grinned and hauled Midge and Maple off Voldy, who stood up and brushed herself down, "What took you girls so long?"
"My button-pushing," Voldy grinned, "They didn't know we were in Camelot until they locked onto the TARDIS signal when they were cruising through a wormhole."
Josie snorted, "Nice one, Voldy," she commented sarcastically, "you nearly lost two of our members down a wormhole,"
"It wasn't my fault they went down a wormhole!" Voldy exclaimed indignantly, "they could've just called to see where we were,"
Maple and Midge looked sheepish.
Paula just rolled her eyes, "never mind, it's half one in the morning. Let's try to get some more shut-eye before the Fanta crew turn up."
…
"WOOHOO!"
Merlin, and by extension Arthur's laundry, were sent flying as ten girls crashed into him and landed in a heap at the bottom of the stairwell.
"What the hell are you doing?" he demanded, "You nearly –"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
The girls all sprung up and turned in the direction of the scream.
"I think we've found the others," Voldy commented. They ran for the throne room, towing Merlin behind them.
…
What they saw in the throne room made them realise why Uther had screamed. The throne, walls and floor were covered in rainbow-coloured drawings, including a large magic wand, a rainbow-coloured mushroom and (Merlin guessed that this next picture was drawn by Mysty) a giant bottle of Fanta.
King Uther was curled up in a ball in a corner, wearing eyeliner, lipstick and various other girly facial appliances. The girls, in contrast, were sat in the middle of the room, still giggling.
Voldy coughed; the girls looked up at her.
"MERLIN!!!!!" they shrieked, abandoning their "Project" and grabbing him before hauling him away to suffer the same fate.
"Oh my god." Foxy and Paula stared at the previous victim in horror.
Prince Arthur was lying on the cold stone floor, in curlers, a pink frilly dress and very garish make-up.
"I thought Mysty hated pink?" Josie commented, "And I thought we weren't going to torture Arthur?"
"Technically," Lolly began, "They weren't torturing him."
"Although Arthur won't see it that way," TVNut added.
"And when those guys are hyper they don't care what colour anything is," Vicky added.
"Oh my God I want a picture of this!" Zara giggled, taking out a camera and snapping pictures of everything from the throne room to the victims of the makeovers.
Josie's eyes seemed to light up in a maniacal way.
"Ooh! I have an idea!" the ten girls gathered together as Josie began to explain her crazy plan and before long they were all giggling.
…
"RRA I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!"
The RRA, united at last after they managed to persuade Voldy's Fanta-overdosed sister to join them in Josie's evil plan, ran down the corridor out of Arthur's room, giggling like lunatics.
Arthur came out brandishing a lovely collection of garishly coloured frilly dresses in one hand and a towel in the other as he frantically tried to wash off the moustache that Mysty had drawn on him in pink sharpie.
A few minutes later, Morgana came charging down the corridor.
"ARTHUR!" she screamed, "What's this I hear about you hiring –"
The girls burst out laughing; they'd left a forged bill from a Hooker addressed to Arthur in Morgana's room.
Arthur turned and glared at them.
"You…" he grabbed a sword and charged at the RRA, who screamed and ran in the other direction, crashing into the recently-repaired window and flying through the air on some mysteriously floating ropes.
…
"Voldy, are you sure this is going to work?" Maple asked cautiously, watching Voldy adding a variety of strange ingredients to a bubbling cauldron.
"Of course it will, Maple!" Voldy exclaimed, "I'm hurt that you think so little of my potion-making skills"
Midge rolled her eyes, "Exactly what are you making, Voldy?" she asked, "bearing in mind that last time you tried to make a potion it triggered Jack's –"
She was suddenly bundled by the other girls, excluding Voldy.
"Don't ever mention that again!" L.C hissed, "Seriously… just don't." They all got up so Midge could breathe.
"Something's missing…" Voldy mused while staring at the pale purple potion she was making, "Aha!" she exclaimed, running into another room and coming back with a red scarf.
"Isn't that Merlin's?" Cee asked a now evilly giggling Voldy.
"Yup!" she dropped it into the potion, which let off a cloud of vibrant red smoke before turning an eye-burningly bright orange, "He still doesn't know I had it, but it made the perfect potion ingredient!" she was now spooning it into little round vials, which glowed as soon as they were full of the orange liquid.
"So, what exactly is this potion meant to do?" Mysty asked.
"Simple," Voldy replied, attaching strings to the tops of the corked spherical vials, "They explode when they are in contact with magic… or anything else actually. They're very unstable," she cackled evilly, gluing labels to the vials saying, 'WARNING: in case of magical monster, throw and RUN!'
"Unstable is a good thing?" Mira asked, alarmed.
"Put it this way," Voldy explained, wrapping her weapons in bubble-wrap and putting them in boxes, "The glass breaks, the potion sticks to the idiot you threw it at and it burns… pinched the idea from the aliens we bumped into when we were supposed to be going to torment Pyjama boy," everyone looked at L.C, who glared back.
"We got there eventually!" she defended herself, "I'd like to see you lot driving a time machine!"
"Well, we would, but you've forgotten your stupid alarm system that sends axes flying at our heads!" Lolly rolled her eyes and went to help Voldy transport her merchandise, putting the box of orange bomblets next to the box of green vials with 'UNTESTED' written on the side in big letters.
"Oh yeah!" L.C giggled, "I forgot about that,"
"Mind you, it was funny when the doctor tried to take over when you went careering into the Dalek ship!" TVNut added. Everyone shuddered.
"Don't remind me," Paula muttered, reminiscing that moment and shuddering again.
"The screams," Zara looked horrified, "Please, L.C, just disable the alarm for once."
"Never!" L.C shrieked before laughing evilly.
Voldy rolled her eyes, "Never mind. Come on; I want to test the greens out before Uther realises we haven't left,"
The girls sneaked out the TARDIS, each girl holding a green vial, and waited for Voldy to tell them the rules.
"the rules are as follows," Voldy began, giving them all little video cameras which they attached to their clothes, "One: no using them on other RRA girls, because that's just stupid; Two: do not, and I repeat, do not turn the video cameras off, because you need to have proof that you've done what you claim to have done; Three: dropping them on unsuspecting bystanders is boring, so you can only do it once; Four: the most imaginative ways of disposing of the potion win, so let the imagination wander; Five: DON'T, under any circumstances, pour the potion into food or drink, because last time we did that in Nottingham the sheriff ended up constipated for a month; Six: touch Merlin and you die… seriously. 3…2…1… GO!" the girls split up into pairs (and one group of three, Voldy, Maple and Midge) and started looking for unsuspecting victims.
…
-Voldy, Maple and Midge-
…
"So… who first?" Voldy asked her comrades, "bearing in mind that we have to work harder to get any points,"
"Ooh!" Maple giggled evilly, "Why don't we do one on Arthur?" the three girls high-fived each other and ran off to find the blonde prince.
…
"Hey Arthur!"
Arthur turned to find two strange girls walking towards him.
"Do I know you?" He asked.
"Probably not," the shorter one with glasses replied, grinning wickedly at her friend,
"But that's good 'cause if you did we wouldn't be able to do this!" the taller one giggled as she threw a glass bottle at his feet. Is smashed and there was a puff of green smoke… Arthur, still male, suddenly wore a totally hideous pink frilly dress, his hair was now long, curly and had garish pink ribbons in it and he was wearing high heels.
There was a moments' pause while both parties registered what had just happened before the girls ran like bats out of hell, grabbing a third girl and laughing their heads off.
It didn't take long for Arthur to recognise the third girl as Voldy.
… 20 minutes later…
Voldy cackled evilly as she dropped a bottle of the potion on Uther's throne… it was Maple's turn to hold the camera and Midge was helping her keep it steady (because they were all giggling at Voldy's evil scheme so the camera was shaking).
POOF!
The throne suddenly transformed into an over-squishy armchair and Uther was suddenly squished into the middle. Voldy pinched his crown.
"Cheers mate!" she giggled, running off through the window with the other 2 girls.
Nobody knew what the heck had just happened
… A few moments later…
The three girls, with their camera set on night vision, crept down to the Dragon's prison under the castle… Midge was holding the camera with Voldy because it was Maple's turn to use her potion.
Maple coughed, "Mr Dragon sir?" she called innocently, with the other two girls sniggering in the background. The dragon flew up and landed on his rock.
"What is it, child?" he asked; Maple bristled.
"I'm not a kid!" she huffed, "I'm 13 thank you very much!"
"C'mon, Maple, he's over a hundred years old," Voldy explained, "Have patience with the old man," the Dragon huffed at Voldy and didn't notice Maple pouring the potion over his head until it was too late.
"What are you –" he stopped mid-sentence as his eyes glazed over, "he is coming" he exclaimed in a weird, raspy double-voice, "he who is destined to destroy the great dragon is come, and the world shall fall,"
Midge and Maple gave each other blank looks.
"Who's 'he'?" Voldy asked. The dragon drew one large gasping breath.
"The druid boy who was saved by the dragon is come, and he shall destroy the one who saved his life," the ancient beast rasped, before he closed his eyes and fell asleep, back to being a normal, but slightly tired, dragon once more. The girls stared at each other in shock.
"Guys, time's up… we've got a problem… TARDIS. Now." Voldy shouted into the star-trek style communicating device on her jumper. She was answered by lots of protests until Lolly silenced them all with the cursory "SHUT UP!" and they all trouped off to the TARDIS.
...
Well, that's it for now! Sorry about the wait… What will our crazy Heroines do about the prophesy-inducing potion? What will they do about the prophecy? You'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out! Have a nice time reviewing! Sorry the chapter was so bad!
