Yesterday during Modern Western Civilizations, I planned out my next set of updates. I have 37 completed drabbles (granted, 11 of those are the Q/A session). If I post 1+ a day, I won't get done with this set until May, and even then, I still have drabbles. Oh well, everything is lined up and ready to go.

Disclaimer: Any proof that I own Merlin lies somewhere with mountains, a few fields, wild flowers, a couple of cows, and a lake. However, only Merlin can find that place now, and he won't help me prove that I own him.

Prompt: From MythologyStar and me: I had said, "If I had my way, they would've had a nice picnic by the lake," and she said, "perhaps you should do a drabble on that!"

Rating: K+

Genre: Romance

Characters: Merlin, Freya

Time Frame: Modern day

Summary: Merlin and Freya deserve one more chance for happiness.

Let's Go On An Adventure

"Do you like it?" Merlin asked, popping a strawberry into his mouth.

"You forgot the cows," Freya whispered, eyes on the shoreline that only they could see. Her eyes sparkled.

"I can buy some using Arthur's money."

They both laughed, imagining the prat's face.

"It's perfect," Freya said with a smile.

Fresh water waves gently beat at the edges of the blanket. When Merlin reached out to touch it, the water felt warm, not at all the coldness it was whenever someone died.

Fate gave them another chance at happiness. Merlin wasn't going to waste it.

Wasn't this just pleasant?

Avalon had all of the things listed in the disclaimer except the cows. Well, I can't think of the flowers off hand, but surely they are still around. As for the cows, I know for a fact that there are none around.

Again, imagine Arthur's face when he gets his credit card bill. "MERLIN, WHY DOES THIS SAY THAT I SPENT $3,000 ON COWS?"

It is my head-canon that Freya should still be able to see Avalon if she returns to our world.
