LAST CHAPTER YAY! sorry for how long it took, school started and life got a bit crazy, and I worked on it like one sentence at a time for a while! but here it is!
BTW, unknown to the popular belief, I DON'T OWN MERLIN DUN DUN DUN! who would have ever guessed!
ON TI THE FIC~
"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey, Merlin!"
THUD
"Ooooow… Arthur? What was that for?" Opening his eyes, the manservant saw the prince, hands on his hips, looking like murder in his eyes.
"Oh Merlin did I wake you, I am so sorry!" The sarcasm was dripping off of the young prince's voice.
Sitting up the young warlock rubbed his eyes and blearily looked up at the prince, "Why are you here? Am I truly that late? Uh, I have a headache."
"Oh, Merlin I don't know why, possibly it was because yesterday you convinced me to go to the tavern with you instead of my duties, I am a prince, Merlin, and unlike you I actually have responsibility." Folding his arms, Arthur looks down at the slightly pitiful man.
Merlin, finally getting out of bed and getting dressed, looked at the prince, eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, "Wait, sire, why you are here? Am I to be punished?"
"Oh, yes you are…" grinning evilly, Arthur started to get closer to Merlin, who slowly was backing away, "My Father told me that yesterday, you covered for me, poorly I must admit, but you tried, and MY father is starting to worry about a possible 'problem' I have with ale. So, he sentenced both of us to the morning in the stocks."
There was an eerie evil twinkle in Arthurs mirth filled eyes, that made a shiver run up Merlin's spine, "Uh, I am afraid to ask, but…. Why are you so happy?"
Letting out a dark chuckle, Arthur looked into the poor manservant's eyes, "Because Merlin, I convinced my father that having the crowned prince in the stock just wouldn't be proper!" Merlin, now backed up against the wall, was now trapped by his grinning prince. Ooh, Why me? Merlin begged to himself. Laughing, the prince continued, "That is why you have been sentenced to a whole day in the stocks."
Merlin felt a pit in his stomach. He had never spent a whole day in the stocks, yes a few hours, but not a whole day. Even in those few hours, he frequently received painful bruises, from hard potatoes. Hearing his name, The young warlock broke free of the trance, "Merlin," Arthur grabbed a potato from the satchel he had, "I will be waiting" Cackling as he left, Merlin couldn't help but join in laughing, although his more hysterical.
At about midday Merlin's tormentors had mainly left; most had used all of their ammo on the poor serving boy.
"Oh, Arthur thought he was soooo funny, oh man, when I get my hands on him oh he will be sooo-"Merlin was cut off from his treasonous mumblings.
"He will be so what Merlin?" Gaius, Merlin's Mentor, and main father figure, walked over the boy in the stocks, hands behind his back.
"Nothing, I was just letting off a little steam." Merlin sighed.
"Here, I will help wipe your face." Gaius then bringing a towel from behind his back started to wipe the putrid tomatoes and bits of other rotten fruit and vegetables.
"Thank you Gaius, I wasn't sure there was anyone left, even Gwen threw one tomato at me, she missed and apologized, but she still threw it…"
Grinning Gaius said, "Oh, Merlin, we do it out of how STEWnning you look!"
"Thanks Gaius- wait WHA-"
The hand that was still behind the old man's back made an arch and the bowl that was filled with stew had tilled and its contents were splattered all over the warlocks face.
Glaring up at his mentor, Merlin couldn't help but start to laugh with Gaius.
As much as Merlin felt he was undeserving of the punishment, he wouldn't have ever had it any other way.
Yep, so that is it. I really liked writing it, how you liked reading it, it was just a silly little plot bunny that attacked me, and i wanted it to grow, and grow it did... (it was going to be a one shot... NOT seven chapters! TEE HEE MY brain...) But thanks if you stuck around to get all of it, tell me if you liked it, if you hated it, and any comments to help me grow as a writer!
BTW to the guest, Arthur cannot remember his experence as a duck, and just assumes that he got SUPER drunck, so no, he cannot remember Merlin's Magic
Thanks to all of those who reviewed, faved, and followed IT HAS BEEN FUN!
I LOVE YOU ALL~
