Good morning world and all who inhabit it I thought as I stretched myself awake. I yawned and looked around the room my bed seemed bigger than usual. Then I raised my eyebrow and looked around the room a bit more. I realized I was in Arthur and Castiel's chambers.
"Hello?" I asked. There was no answer I must had fallen asleep while talking to Castiel and she probably left me there. Arthur walked in and he surprisingly smiled at me.
"Morning Anya good to see you're finally up" he said kissing me on the top of my head. Ok this was way weirder than usual I was surprised when he would even hug me sometimes but like a brotherly kiss on the head was something Arthur would never do.
"Sleep well?" he asked.

"Yeah?" I questioned.
"Good Gaius said you need rest since you're carrying a child now" he smiled at me. I for some reason looked down at my wedding ring and saw it wasn't the one Merlin had given me it was Castiel's.
"I'll be right back" I said before this conversation could continue any longer and I ran for it. Something was wrong with Arthur he thought we were together for some reason and why was I wearing Castiel's ring? I bumped into someone on accident.
"Sorry" I apologized quickly.
"It's alright" A voice I really didn't want to hear right now said. I looked up and saw Morgana.

"You alright?" she asked looking a bit concerned now.
"Fine I'll just be off" I said trying to avoid her but she followed me.
"How do you think I'm doing as Queen by the way I'm still trying to get over that feeling you know since I was only crowned just a few days ago?" she asked.

"What?" I nearly shouted at her. She looked at me closer now.

"Are you sure you're alright?" she asked. I then tried to run as best and fast as I could for being pregnant. I had to find Merlin and Castiel they would know something was up. I walked to my old chambers hoping Merlin might be there for some reason but when I opened the door I saw Castiel and Merlin being much closer than they usually were with each other kissing passionately. I tried to hold back a scream. This was all one terrible nightmare it had to be. I pinched myself nothing happened. Castiel finally pulled herself away from Merlin to notice my presence. Best friend or not I had half the mind to slap her right on the spot. She immediately blushed at her and Merlin getting caught.
"Sorry I was only telling him goodbye before he went off to go see Arthur" she giggled at me.

"MERLIN" we heard Arthur shout. I saw Merlin roll his eyes.
"And that's my cue" he sighed.
"See you at some point today then?" Castiel asked.

"Definitely" he leaned down to kiss her before going. All I got when he left was a ruffling of my hair.
"Are you alright Anya you look like you're about to pass out?" Castiel asked. Only incoherent squeaks could come out of my mouth. She walked me to the bed to sit me down. I did the only thing I could do and hit her with the nearest pillow.
"What the hell is going on here?" I asked hitting her on every word.
"What's going on here? What's wrong with you?" she asked. I stayed silent

"Do you want me to get Gaius?" she asked.
"I'm just going to sleep"
"Didn't you just wake up?"
"I want a nap" I demanded. She backed off.
"See you later then?" I nodded slowly at her.


After I calmed myself down. I finally came to the conclusion that I was in some other world or some sort of Inception stuff was going on in my brain because before I woke up this morning I had been sleeping with Merlin and last time I checked Castiel always gags at the thought of making out with Merlin so what I was seeing must not be real. But this all feels so real I argued with myself. Once I realized I would just have to investigate further I went after Castiel and found her in the market with Gwen.

"Hi" I said to them.

"Ahhhh I see you're much more cheerier than when I last saw you" Castiel looked at me.

"What happened?" Gwen asked.

"She nearly murdered me with a pillow" Castiel smiled at her.
"That's what all the feathers in your hair were" she laughed.
"Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked Castiel. She nodded and said bye to Gwen.
"Sorry about this morning" I apologized.
"Don't worry I assumed it's probably your hormones or something like that" she shrugged.
"What did you want to talk about?" she asked.

"I wanted to know how you and Merlin met" I smiled at her pretending like I actually cared about her relationship with my husband. She blushed.
"I've already told you a bunch of times"
"But I love hearing it" I begged.
"Well we've known each other our whole lives. When my mother died while giving birth to me Hunith took me in and we grew up together. I started to have sort of a crush on him when we got older. Then he decided to go off to Camelot and I went with him and that's when we sort of got closer and also you and I met and became practically sisters. Then Merlin and I had our first kiss when he had to go to the Isle of the Blessed to save Arthur's life and ever since then we've been in love with each other" she smiled at me and she was wearing the same smile she usually wore when she talked about Arthur. "That's so sweet" I lied.
"It's not as adorable as your story is with Arthur. You two hated each other when you were together the first time I met you because that whole arranged marriage thing but your first kiss it just sounded so magical" she sighed. I looked at Castiel hoping that some part of the old her was somewhere in this new version of her.
"Do you think we could ever finish each other sentences?" I asked.
"What do you mean are you talking about some sort of game?" she asked. I nodded she smiled at me.
"You go first" then she nudged me.
"Not my….."
"Cheese?" she raised an eyebrow at me. Division I answered for her.
"Bow ties are…"
"What's a bow tie?"

"You're a wizard…."
"Merlin?"
"That is….."

"A book"

"MAHOGANY" I shouted at her.
"I had no idea you'd be so competitive" she backed away from me. What was wrong with this world?
"Hello beautiful" Gwaine's voice said from behind me.
"She's taken" Castiel said to him. Wait Gwaine was flirting with me now?

"So what's say me and you two ladies go out to the tavern and have some drinks then we'll see where the day takes us" he suggested throwing his arms around our shoulders.

"I have to be somewhere" I rudely pulled away from him and walked away. I heard Castiel laugh as she ran away from Gwaine and jumped into Merlin's arms and he spun her around. They had no idea how much it was hurting me right now watching this.


I speed walked all the way till I found a abandoned hallway ignoring everybody who tried to comfort me. Even Percival made an attempt but I just pushed him out of the way like it was nothing and I had no clue anybody could do that. I leaned against the wall and slid down it and started crying. I didn't know what was going on and I felt alone for once in my life.
"Anya's starting to notice" I heard Morgana's voice grumble from the room next to me.
"I told you sister that something like this would happen when you combined two timelines" Morgause's voice answered. So in this strange universe Morgause was still alive then.

"I wanted to see you again sister and I wanted to finally rule over Camelot with you by my side" Morgana said. I was holding my breath now.

"I know you have missed me" Morgause told her.
"Why is she the only one noticing the change?" Morgana asked.

"The Anya from the other timeline must be trying to stop you. They are both the same person in this timeline right now but one half of her must want to put things back into place. That must be why she's noticing the changes"

"But that shouldn't be happening"
"There's only one way you can stop her then" Morgause assumed.
"I'll have to make it look like an accident" Morgana said. I slowly got up and made sure I could get away without them noticing. I bumped into someone and let out a little scream. I looked up saw Arthur he grabbed onto my arms.
"Are you alright?" he asked looked worried. I couldn't speak.
"You're shaking" he realized. I looked behind me and saw Morgana and Morgause had ran out from where they were talking and saw us.
"I-I saw a spider" I lied. Arthur relaxed.
"All that fuss over a spider?"
"You didn't see it" I joked.

"Show me where it is so I can kill it" he rolled his eyes kissing me on the cheek.


The minute I finally found a spider for Arthur to kill I ran to the library and flipped through some books to research something on timelines. At this point I didn't care as I just started flinging books down from their shelves.

"Looking for something?" Jefforey asked dodging a book.

"Do you know anything about different timelines?" I asked desperately.
"Well a bit. Timelines are our lives basically but there are other ones as well they're the worlds where our what ifs become realities"
"Like alternate worlds then?" I guessed.
"I suppose if you put it that way"
"What if someone was to combine two worlds together?"
"Nothings ever been written about that why the sudden interest?"
"It doesn't matter but say someone did how could you split the timelines apart again?"

"There has to be one main factor of what's holding the two different worlds together. It has to be so different from the other timeline that it couldn't break the hold on them. But if one timeline becomes like the other than they will split apart eventually" he assumed.
"Thank you" I said running out.
"Your welcome?" he said behind me. I soon started to think that somehow Morgana had learned about timelines and combined one where she could be Queen and also have Morgause back. Obviously the main factor was that Castiel and Arthur and Merlin and I weren't together.

"So then I have to get us together" I said to myself as I paced.
"Well that's gonna be hard trying to flirt with Merlin considering your pregnant" I said. Then I paused. If I went back in time and changed Castiel and Merlin's relationship from when they first arrived in Camelot and made Castiel fall in love with Arthur and Merlin with I, I could split them apart.

"Only one problem how do I go back in time all by myself? Can't talk to Merlin obviously" I shot my idea down. But possibly Gaius could help. It was worth a shot as I went down to his chambers. I knocked on the door.

"Good evening my lady are you feeling well?" he asked.
"Fine have you got anything that can make me go back in time?" I asked getting to the point.
"I beg your pardon" he looked at me as if I was insane.
"Just please answer the question it's very important" I begged.

"Are you sure Arthur approves of what you're asking of me?"
"Yes" my voice was rising now. He stumbled around the room and pulled out this necklace.

"You've got to be kidding me?" I asked myself as I recognized it.

"This is a-"
"Timeturner" I answered. He nodded looking confused at how I knew.
"I read it in a book" I lied sort of. He handed it to me.
"Just spin it a how many times, for how many years you want to go back" he told me.
"I thought this only could go back in hours?" I asked remembering Harry Potter.
"Some of them do but I found one that can do years as well" he said. I hugged the old man and left the room so I could do this in secret. I was also inwardly nerding out as I felt like Hermione right now. I calculated how many years I needed to go back and spun the little necklace hoping this would work. I felt like I was going down a steep drop on a roller coaster as the world sped up around me and then found myself on this sunny grassy hill.

"You're such a girl Castiel" I heard Merlin joke and I spotted him and Castiel were walking up the same hill I was on. I couldn't let them see me so I quickly hid behind a tree.
"So what? Because I packed for more than a day? Instead of you who packed just a pair of shoes" Castiel teased. I looked at the two of them and saw they were younger looking.

"Well if I'm going to be living a new life in Camelot then why not start off by leaving my old life behind" he said. Castiel scoffed at him.

"You say that now but wait till your one pair of clothing starts to smell and you have to walk around in your undergarments all day while I clean your clothes" Castiel said and then blushed at what she just said.
"I can clean my own clothes"
"Don't make me laugh ahahaha too late" she said. I followed after them slowly into Camelot as I had to listen to them talk and flirt. Well at least I made it to the right time I thought. There was something big going on in the castle courtyard that I avoided so I could go and look for Arthur and I. The faster I get all of us together the sooner everything will go back to normal I sighed. I had to stop for a moment when I noticed something odd. One of the carts in the market had a mirror and I looked younger as well and I wasn't pregnant. But I was though. It seemed like my reflection was only conveying to others my past form. Just keep moving on I pushed myself on as I went to go search for Arthur. I somehow snuck into the castle.
"Arthur wait up" I heard my voice shout.

"Oh crap" I said. I quickly hid in a supply closet.
"Arthur quit ignoring me" other me whined as her and Arthur stood in front of my hiding spot. Arthur practically looked like a baby at this age and my god is that really what I looked like?

"Well get used to it because if we're going to have to marry each other I'll be doing it a lot" he sighed turning away from me.

"You come back here right now" other me demanded stamping her foot.
"I hear this strange buzzing noise hmmm must be an annoying fly" Arthur said. Other me was about to run after him but I grabbed her and pulled her into the supply closet with me. Other me looked shocked.
"Oh my god" other me whispered.
"Listen I know this is confusing but you're just going to have to go along with it" I told her.
"What?" And with that I knocked her out and locked the door.

"My god I really hope that I'm not that stupid now" I hoped. I went after Arthur hoping this would work.
"Alright I get it. You don't want to be married to me as much as I want to be married to you" I said catching up with Arthur.

"That's the first knowledgeable thing you've ever said Anya" Arthur retorted. I pushed that aside.
"So what if the both of us rebel against our marriage" I suggested.

"You're point?"

"We can't get married if we find someone else who we love and that should be pretty easy for you I mean well look at you"
"Are you mocking me?"
"Am I never not mocking you"
"You seem different"
"Do you want to get out of this stupid arranged marriage or not?" he nodded.
"Good because I have the perfecte girl for you" I grabbed his hand.
"Can't I have training" he said.
"Fine I'll come with you maybe she'll pass by" I crossed my arms.


Apparently Arthur's idea of training has changed over the years because he was making this one poor soul run around in public while Arthur and the other knights threw knives at this wooden shield he was carrying. I saw Castiel passing by the area. Arthur had his arm at the ready to throw another dagger.
"Hang on that's her" I said pointing at Castiel.
"Her?" Arthur asked slightly disgusted.
"Yes her. Come on look at that red hair, that smile, those big blue eyes" I tried to persuade him. Arthur started to blush now when he got a good look at her. He didn't even call her a cross dresser because she was wearing clothes very identical to Merlin's.

"Go talk to her" I prodded him.
"I have something better" he suggested. He whistled at Castiel. I facepalmed myself. Castiel turned around and Arthur nodded at her. She didn't make any showing of her caring about him. Arthur gave her a facial expression that said Watch this then he threw the dagger and hit the target spot on. He raised his eyebrows at her waiting for her reaction.
"What are you five?" she said before walking on. Apparently while Arthur had been looking away servant who had been carrying the target made a run for it.

"Oh come on don't act like you aren't impressed" Arthur shouted after her. She ignored him. He went after her. Well at least he was attracted to her I thought. Arthur went up to her and grabbed her wrist. Just then Merlin showed up. Oh joy as if anything else could go less according to plan.
"What's going on?" Merlin asked looking at Arthur's tight grip on Castiel's arm. Castiel got her arm out of Arthur's grasp.
"Nothing the little knight thought he could catch my attention by throwing a stupid knife" Castiel glared at Arthur.

"Excuse me?"
"Oh I'm sorry do I need to have to split my sentences into syllables so they're easier for you to understand?"

"Do you know who I am?"

"No and I don't care and by the way you don't get a girls attention by whistling at her like a dog" Castiel told him. Arthur got an angry look in his eye.

"Come on Castiel lets leave our little friend alone before his head explodes from how hard you've damaged his ego" Merlin said. The other knights at the training laughed at that and made inappropriate ooooing noises.
"Do I know you?" Arthur asked Merlin.
"I'm Merlin, this is my friend Castiel we just arrived in Camelot" Merlin introduced himself. Hi I'm your future wife and your best friend nice to meet you too I thought.
"So you don't know me but you still called me your friend" Arthur asked.
"You're right how could I have a friend who was such an ass" Merlin said. Castiel's mouth turned into a perfect O.

"Well how I could I have one who could be so stupid?" Arthur retorted. Oh believe me you will I thought. Castiel and I made eye contact at how stupid the two of them were acting and smiled at each other. Was this her first moment of our friendship forming?

"Tell me Merlin do you know how to walk on your knees?" Arthur asked.

"You have no idea what you're getting yourself into" Merlin started to threaten.
"Why what are you going to do?" Arthur challenged. Castiel got a grip on Merlin's arm and I felt a pang of jealousy still when I saw her do this.

"Go on be my guest come on, come on, come on" Arthur was taunting him now.
"Merlin that's it we're going" Castiel started to drag him away.

"That's right just run away with your stupid ginger friend like the coward you are" Arthur said to him.
"Arthur stop" I whispered to him. But it was too late Merlin was already speeding towards him about to punch Arthur in the face but Arthur easily blocked it.

"Stop it" Castiel yelled at him as Arthur twisted Merlin's arm painfully behind his back.

"I could have you arrested for that" Arthur said to Merlin.
"Who do you think you are the king?" Merlin asked. Nope I answered.

"No I'm his son Arthur" Arthur said letting Merlin go as some guards took him away.

"Prat" Castiel said to him as she walked off after Merlin.
"That was your choice for me?" Arthur asked turning towards me after looking at Castiel for a moment. I nodded. Arthur smiled.
"She's perfect" he surprisingly said.
"What?" I asked completely expecting a different answer.

"There's no one else who my father could completely dislike more than her. If I try and get her to engage with me and I'll say to my father I'm only doing it because I don't want to be engaged to you we can bargain and get out of this marriage"

"Yay?" I said not expecting what to say.
"For once in your life you are a genius Anya" Arthur smacked me on the arm.

"This is going to be harder than I thought it would be" I realized.

So what'd you think. Did it make sense I hope it did.
