Lancelot, Gwaine and Will.

So this is the second chapter thanks to my first two followers x so, here we go! I wanted to make Gwaine kind of silly and drunk (nothing really different from the show!) then I want to make Lancelot really funny and silly and sweet x (as you can see I love Lancelot!) Don't worry Mergana fans the romance and meeting shall come! I don't know if I should lower the rating: / Anyway the song wonder wall is not in Moulin Rouge but it's my merganna song and I will have a few in here like rolling in the deep too! So please enjoy and as Freddie Mercury would say the show must go on…

"Dreadfully sorry, were rehearsing a play called "Spectacular! Spectacular!" unfortunately Gwaine can't keep sober to say his lines. God I've been so rude! What's your name?"

I look at the drunken man passed out across the fallen plaster and bits of ceiling and reply;

"My name is Merlin Emrys."

Lance gives me a smile, looks up to the ceiling and gives a low whistle. A man appears in the hole in the ceiling dressed as a woman. He wore a long brown wig with a dress and cape.

"Lance, we've got a letter from Uther we have to keep practising for the play he wants us over tomorrow night" The boy says. I look at Aithusa slightly confused but all she gives me is a small stare.

"But the play isn't even half written!" Lance shouts back to him. That was it…I had an idea. What if I joined the play, that way I could prove father wrong? "Hang on, I'm a writer maybe I could help with the situation at hand?"

All I get is looks from the pair and then the drunken man leaps up from his state. He removed the nuns' hat from his head and looked up at the ceiling where he had fell. He looked me up and down before smiling and outstretching an arm. Aithusa gave a low growling noise and arched her back. I slowly outstretched my arm and shook his arm.

"Gwaine Le Fray, great to meet ya" he beamed. I smiled back but before I could say another word he collapsed once more flat onto his face causing the floorboards to bounce. Aithusa stops growling and sits back down on the windowsill. Lance just scratches his head.

"Mr Emrys going back to what you said earlier…I think that…you should help write the show! Welcome to your first job in Paris!" He grins at me arms outstretched.

It was my first job and we worked through the evening. I met my first close friends, Gwaine, Lance and Will. Sure, Gwaine didn't stay sober for the most of rehearsal but we did our best. It was decided that I must present the play to Uthers "Diamond", Morgana.

We had finished the last scene and we started to pack up the sheets of paper. "So boys," Lancelot says through a cigar, "Here we come Camelot!"

I look up from what I was doing and feel puzzled. Camelot, he never mentioned it before?

"Lancelot, what's Camelot?" I asked still shuffling the papers. I look up and see them all looking at me with open mouths.

"What?" I ask. They were still looking, waiting for me just to jump up and come up with the answer. Lancelot sits on the stage and takes the cigar from his mouth.

"Camelot, my English friend, is the home of your wildest fantasies. It's where women from every walk of life make all men happy." He put his cigar back in his mouth and takes a long puff.

Gwaine burps and says; "Yeah, but ya gotta be extremely rich to get into that sort of thing. That's why were so lucky, not just to be able to get in and not just for entertainment but to get our play recognized and get famous." Gwaine dowses back a small drop of brandy and pulls faces. Lancelot takes out a small wooden box of cigars and takes out one which he places by his side.

"Merlin," Lancelot began exhaling smoke in rings, "We have decided that you must present Morgana with the play. She's the most costly jewel in the crown, Uther's most wealthy possession. You've got talent boy, we've heard you sing and your poems are something…spectacular. If you were to woo the diamond, we will have a chance of being famous."

I look around me. This was a lot to take in. Nerves were sinking in and I felt my hands clam up.

"So, will you do it?" Will asked rubbing his hands together.

I hug my knees and think for a moment. Doing it would mean helping my new friends and finally getting my dreams. The down side was my father, his idea of me being here was absolutely outrageous, especially the fact that magic was banned here and if anyone knew I would be flogged and hanged.

I feel a lump in my throat and regret in my voice as I say;

"Yes, why not!"

Lancelot slaps my back and will shouts a "Whoop, whoop!"

"So come on Mr Emrys give us a few bars! Practise your voice" Gwaine laughs. Will and Lancelot chorus and as they chant and cheer for me to sing I then begin to sing;

"Back beat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out,

I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now"

I feel my face get hot and then after a long silence I get claps and cheers.

"Come on boys we need drink to celebrate! Here we come Camelot!" Gwaine shouts.

We went to Gwaine's place as we decided to celebrate the finishing of the play and my first ever writing job.

As Gwaine opened the door to his flat we were greeted by the smell of beer. The place was very dirty and was filled with laundry, empty bottles and dirty sheets. The crimson red curtains were ripped revealing small pools of the moonlight to enter, the bed was turned over on its side and a coach who was collecting dust was home to the many collections of newspapers and beer bottles. "Erm…nice place…?" Will grinned unsure. Gwaine rummaged through a box of beer bottles and took out a large green bottle.

"I know I said we should never use this again but this is a celebration for our big break. Also, this fantastic man's ability," he smiled putting a hand on Merlin's shoulder, "to write a very good play!" He raised the green bottle and gulped a few mouthfuls down. Merlin, Lance and Will looked unsure as they saw there friends face turn and curdle. He handed the bottle to Will.

"After last year's incident with this," he begins showing them the bottle, "I didn't think we'd recover" He laughs and with that gulps down the drink. Lance was next and then it was my turn. I'd never drink anything that looked like this. I shook the bottle a little bit and watched the alcohol wash against the sides. I shut my eyes and allowed it to pass my lips. My throat burned and my head spun.

I tasted my first glass of . . . Absinthe. And then I saw the green Fairy.

A small little fairy dressed in a green sparkling dress flew before our eyes. "My name is Enmyria but you can call me the Green Fairy." We laughed as she sang before our eyes and danced and as the music in our heads got loader so did the pounding.

My head was quite clear now and I dressed in my black suit. I put on my top hot and turned to Aithusa. "So…What do you think?!" I ask her. She just bats her eyes and continues cleaning her face. Tonight was the night where we were going to Camelot and I wondered if the boys were recovered from last night's drinking. My hanky was in my front pocket and I was primed to perfection. Let's just hope the play goes accordingly.
