I'm not going to make this story into a prank war story, but I think I will write about two more chapters. Please forgive me for any grammar mistakes and such. It would make my day if you took time to tell me what you think.
I don't own Merlin.
As soon as Arthur was out of view, the brothers turned to look each other and promptly started laughing.
"Did you see his face?" Merlin gasped out through the laughter.
"Oh my god we really exceeded ourselves this time Merlin" Sam gasped back.
"Just like old times right Sam?" Merlin said thinking back to the times when they were "the prank masters" in Ealdor.
Sam smiled at his brother "Haha yeah, I've really missed this"
"Me too Sam I…" Merlin suddenly stopped and turned to look down the corridor, where a very confused Gwaine was standing.
"Merlin mate, I think I've had a bit much to drink, I'm seeing double" Gwaine said with wide eyes
"I didn't think that was possible Gwaine, but you're not seeing double, this is my twin brother Sam" Merlin said laughing.
"Oh, that explains it" Gwaine suddenly looked hopeful and asked "you don't happen to have a sister who's name is Emma and is a unicorn do you?"
"Ehh no I don't Gwaine"
"Oh to bad because I really need someone to walk her down the aisle when we're getting married, a pretty girl that Emma" he said dreamy.
"What?"
"Oh there she is! Emma wait for me, I want to go to candy land again"
The knight started chasing his apparently invisible unicorn down the hall and disappeared behind a corner.
"Okay I take it back, he can get to drunk" Merlin said with a puzzled expression
"Let me guess, that was THE Gwaine"
"Yepp the one and only"
"I think I like him"
"Yeah did I tell you about that time in the Perilous Lands when.."
"Yeah you did, I can't believe that actually happen, I thought you were joking when you wrote half of your letters"
"If only that were the case Sam" Merlin said smiling sadly.
"Oh and by the way, someone has to give the prat his lunch"
"Someone? You mean you?"
"Well he will hardly be able to tell the difference and…"
"NO, just NO, I'm not getting close to him after that prank, he'll just start screaming again and I am going to be at the other side of the castle when that happens, MAN that king has lungs"
"Yeah you should hear how is when he gets really mad, my ears were ringing for days after" Merlin said slightly irritated.
"So YOU go and get him his lunch and I'll go and prepare some painkiller potions for you"
"Yeah see you later Sammy"
And with that the brothers walked separate ways, both of them still smiling at the look on Arthur's face.
-:Break:-
Merlin took a deep breath and prepared himself before walking inside the king's chambers. "Hello Arthur" He said lightly to the king sitting at his desk with a bunch of papers in front of him.
The king looked up at his voice and suddenly screamed "You! You evil…."
"Arthur calm down, it was…" The servant interrupted him.
"CALM DOWN?! You embarrassed me in front of my people AND my wife, I have an image to uphold you know!" the king replied angrily
"Come on Arthur you got to admit it was at least a bit funny" Merlin said chuckling.
Arthur turned to look at him with a murderous expression.
"Or not" Merlin quickly backtracked.
"Forget what I said about the stocks earlier Merlin, you are going to both the stocks and the stables and…"
"Yeah yeah do whatever you want Arthur because it was worth it! I didn't know you were so afraid of ghosts," Merlin said with a smirk, setting down Arthur's plate on the table.
"I am not afraid of ghosts"
"What ever you say sire"
"Shut up, just go and do something useful, instead of bothering me." Arthur said looking sour.
Merlin just smiled his cheeky smile and walked out the door, but stopping to turn around and smugly say "Just watch out for "my evil ghostly twin" when you go to bed Arthur" and hurried out the door but not before he heard Arthur's annoyed voice.
"MERLIN!"
-:Break:-
Sam was walking back to the physician's chambers when he suddenly heard a voice behind him "Merlin!" He turned around to see an old man with white hair coming towards him. Sam opened his mouth to protest but the man interrupted him before he got a chance.
"Come on Merlin, I need you to do something for me" he grabbed a scared Sam's arm and started dragging him towards the physician's chambers.
Who the hell is this crazy old man? "You don't understand, I'm not Merlin, I'm…"
"Stop fooling around Merlin you promised me you would help me with this, it was even you who suggested it in the first place."
"But…" Sam started as the man pushed the door to the physician's chambers open.
"No buts, sit down and don't move" he said and fixed him with a deadly stare.
Sam quickly shut up and promptly sat down. The now really scary old man turned around and walked over to a cupboard and pulled out some weird looking potions.
He did it with such certainly Sam could almost think he lived here. But then it suddenly appeared to him. "You're Gaius" he burst out
Gaius looked strangely at him and said, "Of course I am Merlin, now open up"
"What?" but before Sam had a chance to do anything else Gaius poured one of the potions down Sam's throat.
"Euww that is disgusting Gaius" Sam said gagging slightly.
Gaius raised an eyebrow "Yeah? More rosemary maybe?"
"What!?"
"Don't look so surprised Merlin, it was your idea to make my potions taste better after all, the gods now you complain about it all the time." He said smiling evilly and held up another potion. "How about this one?"
"Oh god" Sam said, with wide eyes, he was so screwed.
