AN: I am so very sorry that I was gone so long. See, my favourite Aunt moved to Alberta, and I don't know. I guess I just got sad.

That, and I hate this episode with an intense passion. It was just, SO boring to me.

Either way, here's a Remedy to Cure All Ills!

DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN ELIZABETH MALINOR.

Enjoy!

Normally I never got so worried that I got sick. But I often mistook stress for worry after all. But in this particular situation, I wasn't stressed. I was worried as hell.

It'd been almost two days since Morgana clocked out of the world. She was still breathing, but that bug that crawled into her head was still inside her, and soon enough she'd be gone.

Since she fell ill, I hadn't left her side. Strange, I know. But, I actually really loved and cared for Morgana a lot. I couldn't hate the person she was right now because of what she did in the future. So I was soaking that up as much as I could.

So of course I was there when Gaius and Uther were checking up on her. "You don't know what's wrong with her." Uther stated.

"It's an inflammation of the brain." Gaius diagnosed.

"What could cause such a thing?" Uther asked.

"An infection, possibly." Gaius guessed. "Rest assured I will do everything in my power to cure her Sire."

"Will it be enough?" I spoke up, my voice all croaky. Yeah, I hadn't been able to sleep. What with Morgana, and my nightmares, I just couldn't handle it all. Uther and Gaius' heads turned to me.

"Will what be enough?" Gaius asked me.

I gripped Morgana's hand harder. "Will everything in your power be enough?" I asked, tears threatening to fall over and a lump forming in my throat.

Gaius put a hand on my shoulder. "I don't know Liz. But I will try."

Then they both left the room. A few minutes after, Gwen stepped in. "Gaius said she wasn't any better."

I shook my head. "She isn't."

Gwen rubbed one of my shoulders. "You should get some sleep Liz. It's been nearly two days since you last slept."

"I will go to sleep when she wakes up." I said firmly.

"How about a little nap? You won't be of much use unless you have an agile mind." Gwen pointed out.

I nodded, my vision blurring as soon as I did so. "I suppose you're right." I said, and carefully stood up. As soon as I did, I nearly toppled over, but Guinevere caught me before I could. "Thank you, Gwen."

"You're welcome, my Lady." She put my arm around her shoulders and led me outside so I could go to my bed chambers.

As soon as I stepped outside, I bumped into somebody. My mind was so disoriented that I couldn't make out the figure. It looked like a girl though. "Sorry ma'am..." I mumbled.

The person chuckled. "Last time I checked, I was the Prince, not the Princess."

I groaned. "Sorry, Arthur. I'm just really tired. I haven't slept in a few days."

Arthur's voice dropped from jokingness to concern in two seconds. "Then go to bed. You should be resting."

I nodded. "Where did you think I was going, Captain Obvious?" I said sarcastically, turning to Gwen. "Take me to my chambers, please."

Gwen nodded and took me to my room. She helped me into the bed. "Be sure to wake me up in four hours." Four hours should be enough.

I heard Gwen reassuring me that she would before I finally succumbed to my body and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, there was daylight streaming out the window. When I fell asleep, it was getting close to the evening. I got myself out of bed and made my way to the window, where I checked the clock. The clock said that it was close to noon.

I heard my door open, and Gwen walked in. "I see you're up."

"Guinevere, I told you to let me sleep only four hours. Why did you let me sleep more?" I snapped.

She looked hurt. "I'm sorry, my Lady. When I went to wake you up, Arthur found me and told me to let you wake up on your own."

I groaned and collapsed into a chair. "He would." I rubbed my temples, stood up again, and walked over to Gwen. "I'm sorry I snapped at you. I'm just worried for Morgana, as we all are."

Gwen nodded, accepting my apology, and I pulled her into a hug. She helped me change, and I left my room. As I did, I ran into Arthur, who had a determined look on his face.

He kept walking, so I had to walk double time to catch up with his long strides. "Good morning, Mr. I'm On a Mission. Why did you tell Guinevere to let me sleep more?"

"Because when I ran into you before you looked like Morgana does." Arthur said simply.

"Well, where are you going?" I asked.

"There is a man named Edwin who said that he can cure Morgana. That his remedy can cure all ills."

"And you're going to believe him?" I asked, surprised.

"What other choice do we have? It can't hurt to try." Arthur said fiercely.

I nodded. "Right. You, go find Edwin, I'm going to go and stay with Morgana."

Arthur nodded, and as we came to two hallways, I went in one direction, him in the other.

Maybe a half hour later, Edwin walked in, Gaius, Merlin, and Uther behind him.

I sat up straighter. "You're Edwin? The one who can cure Morgana?" I knew that he'd actually the one who caused it, but I couldn't exactly accuse him without evidence. I'd learned that all too well from this show.

He nodded, then explained to everyone that he needed to be alone in order to work. I was reluctant to leave Morgana, but after some prompting from Merlin I complied.

A couple minutes later, Edwin came out, having 'cured Morgana'. Really, he only took the bug out of her ear. After a couple minutes of initial confusion from Gaius and Uther angry with Gaius for having missed something that seemed so easy to spot, Edwin let us back in to see Morgana, who was awake, sitting up in her bed.

Uther instantly went to embrace her, and then made room for me to do the same. I clutched at Morgana's back the same way she clutched at mine. "I thought I lost you." I whispered. I couldn't bear to lose my best friend here. Any of my friends here. I would be totally lost without them.

I pulled back and sat on the bed next to her, taking her hand as she spoke. "Oh, you won't get rid of me that easily." She said, which prompted us to laugh together.

Gaius moved forward. "What exactly did he give you?"

"I have no idea, but thank heaven he did." She said, gripping my hand tighter.

Everybody left the room shortly afterward, and Gwen entered the room. "My Lady, thank God you are alright." She said, immediately going for a hug.

"Thank you for being so concerned, Guinevere." Morgana said.

"Well, I think, besides Uther, Lizzie was the one the most concerned. While you were out, she wouldn't sleep, she wouldn't eat. She was sick with worry."

Morgana looked from Gwen to me. "Is that true?"

I shrugged. "Maybe...a little..."

Morgana instantly had me in a hug. "I am touched that you care so much for me, but don't put yourself in danger like that."

I nodded against her back and pulled away. "Alright. Next time you're knocking on death's door, I won't care at all."

She playfully swatted my arm. "You know that's not what I mean."

I laughed. Oh, how I have missed this these past two days!

The next day, Uther, Arthur, Morgana and I all sat in the throne room listening to Edwin's findings. "I've been through the court medical records with a fine tooth comb Sire." He tells Uther.

"And were your findings satisfactory?" He asked.

He put on a fake look of remorse. "With regret, I would have to say they were not."

Uther leaned forward in his throne. "How so?"

"Gaius is a great man. Thorough, dedicated..."

"But?" Uther said, urging him to continue.

He fake sighed. "His methods are outdated. He has failed to keep up with the latest developments. This has led to many errors."

"Gaius has served me well for 25 years." Uther explained.

"And one cannot blame him for the infirmity those years have brought." Edwin said. "Age can be a terrible curse."

"Perhaps it is time to lighten his burdens." Uther voiced out loud. "Have you given any more thought on my offer?" That was probably the offer for Edwin to stay in Camelot. I didn't really rewatch this episode since it was really boring. Once was too much for me.

"Yes. I have thought about it very carefully." Edwin said.

Uther nodded. "Allow me some time to do the same."

Edwin bowed, then left the throne room. Uther got up from his seat, and Morgana shared a concerned look with me before standing up to go after him.

"Uther, you can't do this." She said. I decided that she was probably going to need backup, so like the loyal friend I was, I went after them.

"You heard what he said. Gaius is old, he makes mistakes." Uther said dismissively.

"Gaius has treated us since before we can remember." I protested.

Morgana nodded, agreeing with me. "You can't cast him out."

"You would've died if your care had been left to him. That is something I cannot bear."

"I know that, but..." Morgana began, but Uther cut her off.

"I cannot risk something like this happening again." Uther said, then left with his goblet.

We both looked after him, and then Morgana turned to me. "What are we to do?" I asked.

She shook her head and hooked her arm through mine. "I don't know, Lizzie. I just don't know."

I sat with Merlin on the steps of the castle later that day. "I'm sorry." I said, being the first of us to speak. "I'm sorry about Gaius. It hurts me as much as it does you to see him go. If it were up to me, Gaius would be staying and Edwin would be hitting the road."

Merlin cracked a smile, but got rid of it quickly. "What am I to do Lizzie? There is so much I have yet to learn, so much that he has yet to teach me."

I patted him on the back. "So what's the plan?"

He looked at me strangely. "What?"

"It's you, Merlin. You always have a plan. What do we do?"

"Well, I could try talking with Arthur." He suggested.

"I could do that too, and there's more of a chance that he'd listen to me. But it's Arthur, he's always hesitant to go against Uther."

Merlin shrugged. "There's no harm in trying." He said, getting up. "Besides, I have to get back to work, anyway."

"Oh." I said, kinda disappointed that I didn't really get to speak with him. "Well, I'll see you later, right?"

He flashed me an adorable smile. "Of course." Then he was gone.

I sighed, pulled my knees in, rested my arms over them, and plopped my chin on them. Was it possible to be around so many people, yet still feel so alone? This was probably the loneliest I'd felt since I got here. And it didn't feel good.

I said goodbye to Gaius later that day. It wasn't very pretty.

"Are you sure that you have everything you need?" I asked for maybe the twentieth time.

Gaius nodded. "I do, Lizzie. Sometimes I think you act like my mother." He tried to joke.

"Well, as many people do, I care for you Gaius, and I am very upset to see you go. You've acted as a grandfather towards me. To you, I was more than a patient. I'm going to miss that. All Edwin can ever be to me is the creepy court physician."

That rose a chuckle out of Gaius, who quickly went serious. "Take care of yourself. And be sure not to tell Edwin about what you see in your nightmares."

I nodded and pulled Gaius into a hug. Now I let the tears fall freely. Gaius really was like my silly old grandfather back in my universe. "I'm going to miss you." I whispered.

We pulled away, and Gaius brushed a tear from my cheek. "And I'm going to miss you too, my girl." He kissed my cheek, and then he was gone. I didn't know why I was so upset, because I knew that he'd be back soon. Well, at least I hope he would.

My hopes turned into reality, and Gaius returned. I know he and Merlin saved Uther the night before, but Merlin hadn't mention it to me yet, but he probably would later.

We had a ceremony for Gaius today, in honour of him becoming a free man of Camelot and being reinstated as the Court Physician. "I, my family, and my Kingdom are deeply indebted to you. And In honour of this, I not only reinstate you as the court physician, but henceforth, you are a freeman of Camelot." Uther said, handing Gaius a scroll of paper legalizing what he just said.

The whole room erupted into applause, and Morgana and I shared a look of happiness.

Life in Camelot was good once again.

TBC...

Okay, so that chapter was totally pointless. But I really really hated this episode, and wanted to get it over with so I could get to the next episode!

Lizzie's outfit on Polyvore!

Also, Skittles are good! (sorry I'm eating Skittles right now)

REVIEW! THANKS! STAY TUNED!
