Please review they make me happy :0)
'How on earth am I going to survive this?' Gwen questioned of Morgana that evening after telling her the horrifying news that she was going to play Juliet to Arthur's Romeo.
'You might try giving him a chance. You never know you actually might get along and enjoy acting with him,' Morgana responded.
Gwen just laughed at this Arthur wouldn't take this seriously he would just play the joker even more. She rolled her eyes she would have weeks of this in rehearsal and on stage. She took a deep breath and sipped more of her rum and coke. She would have to rely on her professionalism as she would have to perform well in order to receive a high grade in class.
'Happy Birthday,' came Merlin's happy voice behind her causing Gwen to turn around. 'Morgana and I chipped in to buy you a present,' he said handing her a box. Gwen shook the box and then untied the ribbon. Inside was a beautiful thermal cup with delicate decorations. Gwen held it up in the light, 'thank you it is so beautiful.'
'We thought you could use it on all your long rehearsals coming up. We know how much you like your tea,' Morgana said.
'Thank you,' Gwen said once more throwing her arms around them both in a hug. 'I'm going to use it right now I'm going to go and fill it with water,' Gwen jumped up and headed towards the bar.
'Did you do it?' Morgana questioned Merlin.
'Yes I managed to get it done and correctly applied it to the cup but I had a hard time finding all the ingredients. It's taken me days to get it right and hide it from Gwen,' Merlin responded.
'But it won't totally control her will it?' Morgana asked.
'No it will only act as a relaxant. I didn't think it would be fair to give her a complete aphrodisiac we don't want to make it too easy for Arthur but it should definitely loosen Gwen up.'
'No we don't want to make it too easy for Arthur but we do want them to get together. I've seen the future and I know that they are meant to be a couple and this is the beginning of their relationship. I just hope Arthur won't be a complete idiot to her and do something stupid during the play,' Morgana commented. 'Quick be quiet here she comes.'
'Did you fill your cup?' Merlin asked.
'Yes I did it tastes really nice like the cup has a flavor on the rim,' Gwen responded.
Morgana's eyebrows raised and she looked at Merlin. 'Oh that must just be because its new I'm sure it will change after you've washed it.' They knew that they would have to reapply the potion to her cup but it would be easy with Merlin living with Gwen.
'Mmm well I like the flavor of this cup it is going to be the cup I use from now on,' as Gwen said this Morgana and Merlin smiled thinking that their plan was going well.
'Oh no,' said Gwen as she spotted Arthur heading towards the table but she couldn't move away fast enough.
'Happy birthday Gwen, I've brought you a present,' Arthur said nicely holding out a carefully wrapped rectangular present.
'Oh, thank you,' Gwen stuttered out surprised that Arthur had given her a present. She opened it and discovered it was an elegant copy of Romeo and Juliet.
'I thought it would help you to practice at home why don't flip through it?' Arthur questioned.
Gwen opened the book and could see he had marked the pages. Gwen's face was turning red with temper which caused Arthur to laugh.
'I just thought I'd remind you of all the times you are going to have to kiss me,' Arthur said as he'd clearly marked all the places in the text where they'd have to kiss.
Merlin just shook his head at Arthur's audacity and thought he was lucky that she hadn't slapped him.
'Besides I thought we could practice that and we'll start with a birthday kiss,' Arthur said then quickly reached over and held Gwen in place while he kissed her. Gwen was too stunned to do anything and stood stock still.
'That was very nice but you'll have to do better than that in the play,' Arthur said laughingly moving away.
'Bastard!' shouted Gwen who couldn't believe that she hadn't pushed him away. What was wrong with her?
