Disclaimer: Yada, yada, yada – no soup for you…oh, oopsy, wrong show ( Not mine, none of them are. I get nothing more than the sheer thrill and pleasure of watching said characters from week to week (or day to day in the case of TNT). It is a bright spot on a dark, dismal day- and yes, you are all now dismissed to go be sick hehehe. Anyway, credit to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (who really should have included Marguerite and Veronica in his book), New Line, uh… eh, whomever else.

Rating: PG

Category: Filler scene for "Camelot", Marguerite/Roxton (must I keep repeating that in all my disclaimer stuff??)

Spoilers: Camelot

Author's Notes: I really truly should have been born in the Medievel times (ok, only if it was into royalty – that peasant life didn't look too appealing hehehe). Love the costumes, etc… this really has nothing to do with the whole story does it?? Huh. Um, well… okay, needed a scene between when Marguerite was stabbed and her waking up in the King's tent. So there :p

1 Prince Charming and His Sleeping Beauty



Lord Roxton held her limp body close, resting her head on his lap. "You're Prince Charming is never going to let you go," he whispered only loud enough for her ears.

Marguerite's wound was bleeding heavily where the would-be assassin's knife had imbedded itself. She had quickly lost consciousness.

Gently, Roxton lifted her off the ground and carried her to the King's tent, placing her on the satin bed and waited for Veronica and Ned to return with bandages. Kneeling beside the bed, he held her hand in his, observing how peaceful she looked.

"If I'm your Prince Charming then you must be my Sleeping Beauty," he whispered, placing a soft kiss on her lips.

He hadn't noticed that King Gawain had slipped inside and was watching.

Moments later, the others returned with the supplies they needed and quietly left Roxton to take care of the wound after receiving a pleading look from him.

With great care and respect, Roxton pulled aside her sleeve and bandaged the wound, all the while whispering softly to her.

When he had finished he took a moment to take in how beautiful she looked. Smiling, he placed another kiss on her forehead and left to tell the others the wound was not as serious as first thought then Veronica went to change their friend back into her normal clothes for travel.

When Veronica had finished, King Gawain entered the tent, his broken heart still aching at the love in Roxton's voice as he talked about Marguerite.

She began to stir and slowly opened her eyes, disappointed that the face staring back at her was Gawain, not Roxton. She smiled at him all the same and proceeded to let him down easy.
