A/N: This is my longest chapter so far... whether that's a good or bad thing, you decide! Poor Polly isn't really getting a look in now with Morgana arriving and the female attention Merlin is receiving. I deliberately didn't give Polly's friend a name because 1. I'm unimaginative and 2. She won't be featured apart from right at the end for the last pathetic gag ;) You might notice, I have no plan so this chapter is literally going with the words inside my head rather than planned... Oh, and if any of you are counting, Elizabeththecrazy is winning the non existent competition of the largest chain of reviews ;)

A note to the-mysterious-scribe: Yay! We think alike! That is what I was planning, however Polly has a bit more sense than the featured guest... :P And to Dragon Mistress Syal, thanks for the wonderful 3 reviews and I agree with you that Arthur knows what a map is, he's used the word before but it was a flowy thing ;)

Polly was still staring at Morgana and Gwen minutes later. After the initial shock, the boys had regained themselves and noted the awkward air as the three women took in one another.

Arthur cleared his throat. "Well, Polly this is Morgana and her handmaiden Guinevere" he introduced, sharing a glance with Gwen. This did not help with Polly's gawking, which had now focused on the Lady's maid who was beginning to feel uncomfortable under the girl's eyes.

"But…you're Guinevere?" Polly managed to say, shaking her head from the daze. Gwen nodded, trying to smile as if she wasn't confused by her interest.

Polly was brimming with questions as she was now surrounded by people from stories she had been brought up on "we were always told that you were a-"

The modern girl's examination was cut short by two girls running up to the five, jumping up and kissing either side of Merlin's cheek then walked away smiling. Polly looked angry while Arthur and Morgana smirked at the look of utter astonishment on Merlin's face.

The girl from present day gave a forced smile. "So you're Morgana… le Fay right?" Morgana looked surprised, as Arthur had not mentioned her surname to this strangely dressed child. "Is that important?" she laughed.

Polly shot a glance at Arthur that Merlin did not miss. "No, it's just… it's a really nice name. Do you like shopping?" And without waiting for an answer, she dragged the startled woman back down to the tube with the others trailing behind.

After reappearing from Oxford Circus tube station, Polly had insisted they visited the famous toy shop. Once inside, she let go of Morgana's now numb arm.

"Right." she said chirpily "there's five floors, you go up the moving stair things in the middle and enjoy. How about Arthur and Gwen while I go with Merlin" she decided, smiling at the famous advisor. She then registered the black haired beauty. "Oh… yes, Morgana. Who would you like to go with?"

"I shall follow you, seeing as you seem to understand this world I just walked into". Morgana replied pleasantly. Polly's face fell. "Okay, we'll start near the top. So come on." The three left Arthur and Gwen to themselves

(I'm just going to skip Arthur and Gwen stuff, because we can all imagine it will be awkward and Arthur will look dotingly at her blah blah blah you get the gist… if not, just watch the show from when Arthur wakes up one morning and decides to pursue a servant, while Gwen completely forgets about her crush on Merlin)

Things were not going well up on floor four. There had been a few attempts, mostly on Merlin's part, to start a conversation between the two silent girls who were both checking out the competition as it were. The silence continued as Polly insisted they moved down a floor after Morgana had tried out a flying helicopter and accidentally headed it in Polly's direction.

Polly saw an opportunity when Morgana walked ahead to study the pink goodness of the dress up section. "So, Merlin, does Arthur know about your secret?" she asked as she leaned towards him so Morgana would not overhear.

"What secret?" Merlin said cautiously, automatically giving the game away that he knew exactly what she was talking about. "How did you-"

"Know?" asked his companion "I can sense it. You see, I also have magic" she added mysteriously, staring straight ahead.

Merlin gave her a sideways glance. "What can you do?" Polly looked him in the eye with a sombre expression on her face. "I have the amazing and rare ability to cross my eyes while rolling my tongue, watch!" the girl then proceeded to pull a funny face at the warlock. Merlin laughed, the tense atmosphere had vanished. "Now, if I'm not mistaken, I think we should get on. Those girls in the Cinderella costumes are starting to turn nasty towards the Lady Morgana."

They had reached the last floor, full of Hamley's famous stuffed animals. Morgana and Merlin were stood staring at the giant giraffe, waiting for it to move, when Polly felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Ahh, so the people who have got the whole building gawking are with you. Should've have known. By the way, I'm not sure whether the full body armour is actually allowed her or necessary. Someone's paranoid about the big city."

Polly stopped watching the raven haired couple and turned towards the familiar face. "Well, I like people who stand out. You should know that." The shop assistant laughed. "Unfortunately I do. Still, the black haired one's quite cute. Shame he's taken." she indicated to the laughing pair by the dolphins.

Polly glared. "Yes, well they're not from round here… the members of the Arthurian legend have come for a visit." She watched as her best friend's face fell from a mischievous grin to shock to disbelief. "So the one in the armour is…"

Polly nodded. "At the moment, he's Prince Arthur with Guinevere." The toy shop worker gazed at her wide eyed. "She doesn't look much like a princess…"

Polly smiled humorously. "That possibly would be because she is actually the servant to the Lady Morgana, who is standing over there" she finished, pointing towards the ancient couple standing ahead of them. Her trusty companion's mouth was now of similar shape to that of the giraffe the two clueless sorcerers were watching.

"No waaay… Arthur, Guinevere, Morgana… that just leaves…". But her star struck realisation was cut short by the two sides of good and evil. Polly watched amusedly as the assistant kept blinking up at the cute wizard and swore she heard the words "big ears…no beard" mumbled before Merlin spoke.

"Morgana and I were wondering why the animals do not seem to move." Morgana nodded. "Also, there seems to be a bear who is wearing a cloak and boots. Is that a custom around here?" the woman asked curiously, smiling at Merlin whilst looking around.

"That's Paddington…but I thought Morgana and Merlin were always fi-" Polly interrupted "fiii-nding out new things, so go and look at the turtles. They're very cute." And with that, she brushed past the two, sending her friend back to the till where a queue of angry people were waiting for her.

"Do you know the actual definition of subtlety? They're going back home soon, so when they do, I'll explain everything! Oh, and by the way, Merlin and Morgana are NOT together!" With that, Polly stormed off in the direction of Arthur and Gwen.

Morgana and Merlin had wandered towards the jungle creatures. Merlin spotted a red circle thing, pushed it and all at once, a pink creature started making its way over to them. Merlin backed up but tripped over, knocking a display over and starting a chain reaction. Morgana watched, half shocked, half amused as the bumbling servant was pounced upon by immobile animals until only his feet could be seen.

The crowd Polly's friend had been making her way through diverted their attention to the scene. From the crowd, a girl could be heard saying "I could give him the kiss of life?" At that moment, Polly had arrived with Arthur and Gwen. Glancing towards the assistant who was pointing with a forced expressionless face, she found the source of commotion and helped Morgana pull him out of the grasps of the once cute turtles.

There we go, we're coming to a close... well at the rate I'm going with kisses, there has to be more chappies ;) Oh yes, and Spoons, you got your own story, stop being competitive, Elizabeththecrazy doesn't know you, she's probably scared now...but thanks for the ice cream all the same ;)
