The word for this drabble is 'gammon' by Jedichild, which has several different definitions, so in this drabble I tried to combine two of them – deception and smoked ham (and yes, I am well aware how random that sounds!)

Please keep the random words coming :) only 2 reviews for the last chapter! :(


April Fool

"Arthur, Arthur, Arthur!"

"Yes Gwaine, do come in." Arthur said sarcastically, as Gwaine rushed into his chamber. "Don't worry, I wasn't sitting here doing some very important papers, what do you want?"

"It's Merlin," Gwaine explained, a genuine look of concern on his face, which made Arthur sit up with worry. "He encountered a sorcerer in the town, and he cast a spell on him!"

Colour drained from Arthur's face, he had heard that there was a sorcerer somewhere in the City, who knows what trouble he's caused? "What sort of spell?"

"He turned him into a piece of ham!"

There was a pause.

Then Arthur burst out laughing. "You can't be serious?"

"I am!" And Gwaine slammed down on the table a piece of smoked ham, which had a blue neckerchief tied around it. "That's Merlin."

"Please tell me you're joking?" Arthur said slowly.

"I'm not!"

Arthur looked carefully at the harm, and poked it. "Err…Merlin, are you in there?"

There was a muffled giggle from somewhere behind Arthur, and suddenly Merlin jumped up from under his bed. "April Fool!" He cried.

Gwen watched with confusion as suddenly Merlin and Gwaine burst into the corridor, running away from Arthur who was wielding a very large piece of ham, which had a neckerchief tied onto it...
