I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has reviewed, put this story on story alert or made it their favorite. You people are AMAZING. I love you all :D

Enjoy :D


Merlin was loading Arthur's car up with Morgana helping him. Morgana was making as much room as she could in the boot of Arthur's car before Merlin put something in and Gwen was carrying things from the flat to the car. Gwen had just placed a bag down and turned around to come face to face with Vivian. "Just to remind you. I'll be watching you."

Merlin who saw Gwen come face to face with Vivian, stopped packing the car walked up to them and draped his arm over Gwen's shoulder. "And just to remind you Vivian. I'll be watching you." Vivian scoffed and dropped her bag to the floor before storming back inside. Merlin picked the bag up and walked back over to Morgana. "Keep an eye out."

"Why? What are you going to do?"

Merlin didn't answer. He got a small tub out of his pocket and half emptied the tub into Vivian's bag and shook it before putting it in the back of the car. "What was that powder that you just put in her bag?"

"Itching powder." Merlin said making Morgana smile. "She'll need to bathe after her torture of scratching continuously. You'll help her won't you?"

"By pushing her in? Of course I will. I'm all for helping people."

"And I just happen to know where you can push the poor unsuspecting Vivian in the lake."

"Signal me before you push her in. I want to see her face as she goes in." Merlin turned around to see Gwen stood there with a grin on her face.


Once the car was packed Merlin turned to Gwen and Morgana. "We have three tents. Me and Arthur in one, you two in another and Vivian in one on her own. We are only away for four days and nights. You two don't mind not getting a full nights sleep do you?"

"Absolutely not." Gwen and Morgana said in unison.

After driving for about an hour. Arthur pulled up in front of a row of garages. "Right then. Everyone out. We'll unpack the car, get changed and then get walking." Arthur said as they all got out of the car. "Walking?" asked Vivian.

"Yeah. We all carry our own backpacks. It's about an hours walk but some of the scenery you see is beautiful." Merlin said.

"I can't walk far in these shoes." Vivian said pointing down at her high heels.

"That's why Arthur said we are to change." Morgana pointed out. "We can change in the public toilets over there." Morgana said as she pointed to a small building.

After getting all of the stuff out of the car, Arthur drove it into one of the garages and locked it up. "Let's all get changed. The sooner we get there the better. With luck we can get our tents up and get settled before nightfall."

After they all got their own backpack, they set off towards the small building to change into something more comfortable.


Arthur and Merlin were waiting outside wearing jogging bottoms and a t-shirt with trainers with Morgana and Gwen who were wearing tight skin leggings and a top with trainers. They were all waiting for Vivian. "Come on Vivian, we need to get going if we are to get the tents up before sundown." Arthur shouted.

"I'm coming." she yelled back. Morgana sighed and walked over to the door and scoffed when she saw Vivian. "You can't wear that. I know it's going to be hot whilst we are walking, but don't be stupid. Cover yourself up a bit more." Arthur walked up to Morgana and looked at Vivian. "You're not serious? Morgana's right put something else on." Vivian huffed and turned to go and change.

"What was she wearing?" Merlin asked.

"Some shorts." Arthur answered. Morgana laughed. "Shorts? More like hot pants."

"Looks like someone wants to silently tell you that Arthur is hers." Merlin whispered to Gwen who smiled.

Five minutes later, Vivian came out wearing something similar to Morgana and Gwen.

"That's better. Lets get going." Arthur said and took the lead with Morgana behind him followed by Vivian then Gwen with Merlin at the back.


After twenty minutes of walking Merlin managed to turn a laugh into a cough. Vivian had been scratching for the last fifteen minutes and for the last five minutes she got aggressive with it. "Arthur, stop walking." Arthur stopped which made everyone else stop. "What's up Vivian?" Merlin asked. He gave Morgana a knowing look and she looked around her to see that they were all standing on a log above a lake. She grinned.

"I'm itching all over."

"You've probably got a tick." Gwen suggested.

"What all over?" Vivian snapped. "It is likely Vivian." Arthur reasoned.

"How do I get rid of them? I can't take much more of this."

"Easy." Morgana said and she shoved her arms out towards Vivian and pushed her off the log into the water. Vivian squealed as she fell into the water. "Arthur save me."

"Save you? It's knee deep."

"I don't care if it's ankle deep, get me out of here." Arthur sighed and looked at Morgana. "Wipe that smirk off your face." he said before jumping off the log and into the water to get Vivian. Arthur picked Vivian up and carried her out of the water. Vivian looked over Arthur's shoulder and glared at Merlin, Morgana and Gwen who were holding on to each other to stop themselves from falling over from laughing.
