I'll be honest with you all. My mind is somewhat shot after spending two days taking my AP tests. I hope that this chapter turned out at least somewhat okay.

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin.


Merlin was bored. He and Arthur were stuck in a cave because it was raining outside. The cave was small, so he and Arthur were forced to sit on the ground. To pass the time, he had tried humming to himself, but a death glare from Arthur has soon ended that form of entertainment.

Sitting in silence, a sudden question popped into his mind. "Arthur, what do you think you would do if you had another leg?"

Arthur sighed and turned his head towards Merlin. "Merlin, where on earth did that question even come from?"

"I don't really know. It just popped into my head."

"I don't know what I would do. Probably have Gaius get rid of it for me. What would I do with an extra leg?" Arthur said.

"That's a little drastic, don't you think? I'm sure there are plenty of things that having an extra leg would be useful," replied Merlin.

"Name one thing," said Arthur.

Merlin thought for a moment. "Well, suppose you're forced to stand for a long period of time. One of your legs becomes tired. You have a spare leg to stand on."

Arthur just blinked in response to his idea. "That is crazy. Besides, you would have to get special clothes made."

"You already have that done for you. Why would this be any different?" questioned Merlin.

"Merlin, I would look ridiculous if I had three legs. I'm a prince, and princes never look ridiculous. Furthermore, pants with three pant legs would be very hard to make, I'm sure."

"Well, what if-" Merlin began.

"Merlin, shut up. I don't want to spend my time talking about the possibility of having a third leg. I want to sit in silence and wait for this blasted rain to stop."

Merlin let a slightly hurt look appear on his face. He did not think his question was that bad. All he had been trying to do was pass the time with conversation. Oh well. Perhaps he would go and find Gwaine when they returned to Camelot. Something told him Gwaine would appreciate the random questions that entered his mind.


I would really like to do one of these with Gwaine. However, I'm having a hard time coming up with an idea to use. Does anyone have any suggestions that they would like to see?
