My step-mom was shocked that Lancelot died during "The Darkest Hour" episodes. She has NO idea that the worst has yet to pass...

Let's Go On An Adventure
Arthur wanted to do something nice for Gwen's birthday, so he recruited Merlin to help plan the surprise. So far, it wasn't going too well.
"How about a giant teddy bear?" Merlin suggested.
"I don't even know what those are. Come on, use your brain...If you have one."
Merlin stuck his tongue out. "Jewelry?"
"Too overdone. How about a nice hunting trip?"
"I thought that we were impressing Gwen, not your ego."
"Then how about-" Arthur cut off as Gwen entered the room. "Uh...you know what I'm talking about."
Flowers and a card, then.
So, you know how in some versions of the legends, Merlin lives through time backward? Well, that's the reason why he knows what teddy bears are. And Batman. And just about every modern-day reference he might make in these drabbles. No, he doesn't actually live through time backwards, but even in the show *cough Clotpole cough*, he mentions some things that he should technically not know what they are. Another example is potatoes.
