Arthur and the knights appear in seven girl's boarding wing when they are snowed in with just matron to keep an eye on them. What will they do?

OC's

Catherine, Abi, Ami, Amy, Sarah, Sophie, and Steph

Thank you for reading so far! I'm really beginning to struggle with ideas for chapters so if anybody has any ideas then please, please, please let me know.

I also know this is a slow plot, but seriously, I am trying to sort it, I promise!

Chapter 5

8:30

The girls trooped out of the room. Amy glanced around at them as she left.

'They are so getting a shower after breakfast.' The knights heard Sophie mutter, they looked around the room at each other.

'So…' Gwaine said finally. Merlin and the knights looked at him. 'What?'

Arthur glared at him and looked at his companions. 'I think we should take this opportunity to talk about our situation and our new… guardians.'

'Well, I think their intentions are good.' Merlin shrugged.

'Yes, thank you for your brilliant contribution, Merlin,' Arthur scoffed. 'Leon, what do you have to say? Did you learn anything last night?'

'The lady Ami seems quite kind-' he broke off as Gwaine snorted and snapped, 'Lady Ami was probably the most rational out of all of them, Gwaine. She had every right to be worried! I mean, honestly, A bunch of strangers- men as well- crashed in to their room in the dead of night, claiming to be from the past. If it was the other way around, would you trust them?'

'Two things.' Elyan said. 'One- we are from the past; and two- why are you defending her?'

Percival slapped them on the heads, causing them to flinch. 'Shut up and let Sir Leon finish.' Arthur nodded and waved an arm for Leon to continue.

'She seemed kind one she had calmed down. She does not fully trust us, but when she spoke I became certain they spoke the truth of our predicament.'

Arthur nodded and turned to Lancelot. The tanned knight shook his head and grinned, 'Sarah was so kind to tell me that she was sixteen and her sister nearing her fifteenth year. She also told me that a boarding wing is a bit like a lodge where they stay when they are being educated at a school.'

Merlin looked at him in disbelief. 'Where you questioning her all night, Lancelot?'

'No. But she did get annoyed after she gave those answers so I decided to stop.'

Arthur smiled. 'Well done, Lancelot. What of you Percival? You had quite an odd looking girl in your pair.'

Percival laughed, 'Abi, she dyed her hair like we dye our clothes and the only reason she had was "I wanted to".'

The knight's groaned as they recognized Gwaine's character in Abi. Merlin smirked. 'Well now we can find out what Gwaine would be like if he was a girl.' The knights burst out laughing.

'Shut up, Merlin!' Gwaine exclaimed, swatting him playfully.

'What about you, Elyan?' Arthur asked in a strangled voice.

The black knight blushed and looked down, muttering something incoherently.

'Sorry?' Lancelot spluttered. 'Could you speak up a bit, Elyan?'

'I fell asleep, alright!' The knight yelled.

Arthur stared in disbelief for a few moments before turning to Gwaine.

'I didn't find out much from Steph. Only that she loves books, and that the boys at this- School was what you called it, wasn't it?- are prats.'

Arthur looked at Merlin. 'Heaven forbid you should have more to tell us than your last contribution.'

'Sarah's the eldest, the others a mix of thirteen and fourteen.'

'Right, that solves… almost nothing.' Gwaine sighed.

8:50

The knight's leapt to their feet as the door swung open and the girls entered. Upon seeing who it was, they sat back down and watched as the girls started busying themselves around the room.

Gwaine watched Abi from his position on her bed. Everyone seemed to have abandoned last night's plan and had began to speak to or watch others in the room; Percival was the only one of them not to have left his assigned teenager and was sat beside him.

Abi glanced at Gwaine and Percival as they listened to her talk on the phone, and hurriedly made a couple of excuses and hung up on them. 'What are you looking at?'

'I'm sorry, we were wondering what that curious contraption is.' Gwaine explained.

Abi blinked a few times, 'Oh. It's a mobile phone- it allows you to talk to people from far away.'

'Really?' Percival asked, eying the small flat object suspiciously.

'Really. I might let you try it one day.'

Amy was sat with Sophie, Lancelot and Elyan, and the two girls were answering an insane amount of questions and were beginning to run out of patience.

Lancelot frowned as he tried to process the information in his head on what the girls were telling them. 'What about what Sarah said-the car?'

Sophie groaned and turned to Amy. 'It's your turn to answer, Amy.'

The taller girl shrugged. 'Erm... a car is a bit like a cart, only it pulls itself instead of using horses and is made of metal.'

Elyan's eyes were bugging out of his head in disbelief. 'It must be magic.' He whispered. 'There's no other explanation.' The girls laughed.

'It's not magic, silly.' Sophie chuckled. 'It's just that the technology has improved since your time- you can't expect everything to be the same after fifteen hundred years!'

'Alright, so basically, everything we think could be magic is really just something powered by... elecltisy or energy produced by burning different fuels?' Lancelot

checked.

Sophie whooped and clapped cheerfully. 'He's got it!' She paused, 'Only thing is, it's e-lec-tri-city, not elecltisy.'

'Electricity.' Lancelot repeated. 'Got it.'

Amy glanced at Elyan. 'Do you get it, or...?'

'I think i understand.' He replied slowly.

Catherine had been talking with Arthur, Leon and Sarah. She was explaining what they would be doing through the course of the day.

This included sneaking them to the train to get to the shopping center and buying them some clothes. The main problem was keeping Matron occupied or coming up with and excuse to catch the train.

'What about Matron?' Catherine asked, a frown coming on her face.

Sarah shrugged. 'It's not like we don't go shopping with just our friends often. We could promise not to separate because i think going around in a group of seven might be acceptable.'

'And the boys?' Catherine pointed out. 'They don't exactly blend in'

'Say they're going to a fancy dress party.'

'Yes they're very convincing, they even smell like they are from the dark ages!'

'Steph and Me have some men's deodorant that we got as a present for one of our stepbrothers. We can get some more when we go shopping.'

'The one that threw up on the dog last Christmas?'

'Yes, that one.'

Catherine nodded. 'It'll do for the time being.'

'What about their hair?' Sarah said suddenly.

'I have dry shampoo.' Catherine replied.

'Then we're sorted.' Sarah smiled. 'We just have to explain it to the others now.'

The two girls looked at Arthur and Leon who looked too confused for words. They looked back at each other again and grinned.

Ami and Steph were sat with Merlin. They were speaking in hushed voices so that no one could hear them.

'So let me get this straight.' Ami said. 'You are Merlin, the wizard/warlock that is destined to help Arthur rule and bring peace to the land... but no one can know that you have magic.'

'Yep, you've got it in one.' He muttered.

'We'll have to tell the others not to mention it in front of your friends.'

'Lancelot knows, so it doesn't matter about him.'

Steph looked at him warily. 'Well, first chance you get, you should check to see if your magic works in our time. Magic doesn't exist here.'

'WHAT!' everyone in the room turned to them.

'It's nothing important.' Ami said. 'Steph just told a joke that has left him in shock.'

Arthur raised his eyebrows, 'Really?' he said doubtfully.

'Yes.' Ami nodded with wide eyes.

'I wouldn't tell Merlin any jokes that are inappropriate for a child or lady. He's a complete girl sometimes.' He laughed, convinced by Ami's lie.

'What's wrong with girls?' Abi yelled angrily. 'Women are just as capable of doing the same things as men. The only thing they don't have is a cock!'

The girls groaned and the men stared in shock at the Pink-haired girl.

'Great, Abi, you had to open your mouth didn't you?'

'I was being honest and stating a fact.' Abi pointed out. 'I was also pissed off because these guys are completely sexist!'

Gwaine laughed and threw an arm around her shoulder. 'Well i like you, Abi. Nearly all of the girls back home are all soft.'

Abi grinned, 'Well since i am apparently a female version of you, i should hope so!'

Gwaine paled in horror. 'Who told you about that?'

Abi shrugged and in a bored tone replied, 'Percival did of course.'

The others in the room began to laugh. Every time they would calm down a little Sophie's laugh would randomly start up again and they would start up again.

Tears were working down Steph's cheeks as she gasped for breath. 'Oh, God that hurts. I need to breathe. I need to breathe.'

'Steph, shut up! You're not helping, here!' Sarah shouted between laughs.

'I can't help it!'

'You can't help your face either!'

'Get some new comebacks, Sari' Steph gasped. 'Oh yeah, you can't-your too special.'

'Will you two shut up!' Sophie snapped.

'Are they always like this?' Arthur asked.

'Most of the time, yes.' Abi said. 'But they aren't fighting really, just messing on.'

Arthur gave them an odd look. 'Well in any case, Catherine, Sarah, Leon and i have discussed what we are going to do in terms of fitting in while we're here and all i can say is that the girls are taking charge from now on. We do what they say, and i trust them to keep us safe.'

He didn't look too impressed with the decision he had made, but looking at his options, he didn't have much choice. It was a little bit disconcerting, however, that he was handing command over to a group of fourteen, fifteen and sixteen year olds- practically children!

'So do i.' Merlin nodded, smiling at Ami.

'I think this will be fun.' Gwaine grinned.

'I think we're all in favor of this decision.' Lancelot said looking around at the room's occupants.

'Right.' Sarah looked around the room. 'So, me, Ami and Sophie are going to convince Matron to let us catch the train to the shopping center. We've got enough money to get us there and we can get money from the banks when we get there. Steph and Amy are going to spray them with air freshener and deodorant to get rid of the stench. Abi and Catherine are going to dry shampoo their hair. Also, wash their hands and faces to make them look a little bit cleaner. Is that alright with everyone?' The girls nodded and the knight just looked at each other in confusion. 'Good!' she exclaimed cheerfully.

Ok, thanks reviewers! reviews make my day!

LOL, Arthur mustn't have been completely happy about giving the girls complete control over what happens. Little do they know, that i, xXgirlmusketeerXx controls what they do ;) along with my evil sister, my beta reader and living plot bunny.
