Merlin sat brushing his hair. It took him about an hour. His hair was long enough to reach all the way from his window to the bottom of his tower. And it did. It was hanging out now. All the way to the grass.

A huge, green, slimy frog started to climb his hair like a rope. (Well actually more like a rock climbing wall but in Merlins dream it was more like a rope)

Merlin felt the frog land on his scalp. He squealed a little and squirmed until the frog lept down.

"Alright merlin jeez! I just need a little help!"

Merlin froze staring at the frog. "Arthur?!"

The frog was about to correct him, but then wondered how long he could stretch this on for.

"In the flesh. Ish!"

"w-what happened?"

"Oh I went for a walk with an army, broke into morgana's castle to have a little chat, made the army wait outside, and got turned into a frog by morgana you know just an average day!"

"Gwaine!"

"You're improving!"

"I'm not that stupid Gwaine!"

"Stupid enough to kiss a frog though!"

Merlin wrinkled his nose in disgust.

"Hey I'm not that slimy!"

"You got yourself into this mess, go get yourself out of it!"

"Yeah I guessed that would be your reaction. But you know, Arthur is a frog too. Somewhere. You have to make him become a human again!"

"How?"

"Kiss him. In Upendi!"

"Where?!"

"In Upendi!"

"But Gwaine I've never been outside this castle!"

"So? Take him to Upendi!"

"How? I haven't been outside!"

Merlin sighed heavily. He leaned on the window sill and looked out to the land that swept out across the land. He looked down to the two new lovebirds on the bridge.

"So many times out here I've watched a happy pair of lovers walking in the night. They had a kind of glow around them. It almost looked like heaven's light! I know I'll never know, that warm and loving glow. Because I can't leave this tower!"

"Then go to-"Gwaine paused as if he'd forgotten the name of the place "Upendi?"

"Where?!"

"Where the passion fruit grows sweet and it's so divine that you lose your mind as it sweeps you off your feet!" In Upendi! Without a worry or a care. It just takes two, to make it true in Upendi!"

"How do we get there then?"

"Your heart will lead you there!"

"Gwaine you mean love don't you?"

"If you want to over simplify it!"

"A guy like Arthur could never love a guy like me!"

Arthur the frog, had finally caught up with Gwaine now and arrived just in time to hear the last of the conversation.

"Paris, the city of lovers

Is glowing this evening!

True, that's because it's on fire; still, there's "l'amour"! Somewhere out there in the night His Heart is also alight. And I know the guy she just might Be burning for! A guy like you he's never known, kid. A guy like you a guy does not meet every day. You've got a look that's all your own, kid. Could there be two, like you? No way! However, my look has been drastically changed and I'm no longer handsome and I look like any other frog in the pond!"

"Gwaine!"

"Kiss me already!"

"Fine dammit!"

Reluctantly, merlin kissed the smiley old frog and there was a bright, glittering golden glow as Gwaine was t4ransformed back into the dark haired knight he really was. Arthur hopped forwards in surprise.

"Thank you!"

"You're not welcome!"

"Well when Arthur comes he will be!"

"What? That makes no sense as a comeback you idiot!"

Gwaine looked behind him and to his delight there was a mirror behind him.

"Would you like me to move so you can say that to the mirror itself?!"

Merlin punched him.

"If you two will stop having a lovers spat, can I please be transformed back into a human too?!"

Merlin was a lot less reluctant to kiss Arthur. Even if he was just as slimy. Merlin couldn't help but smile at Arthur's human form.

(The scene melted away into another as often happens in dreams. This scene was of merlin and Arthur in a rowing boat on a lake. Gwaine was leading the other knights in singing Kiss the Girl from half way through which then changed into Won't Say I'm In Love)

Arthur rowed them under the drapes of the willow leaves. Then the temperature dropped. Arthur found a blanket under the benches and wrapped it around the two of them so merlin had to get closer to him.

"I love you. For always. Will you love me that long too? Forever?" merlin said.

"No."

Merlin looked at him in despair. He'd been afraid of that. He looked down at his shoes and pulled away a little. Arthur chuckled. He raised Merlins chin gently.

"I'll love you far longer than forever!"

The song melted into A Tale as Old as Time.
