Enjoy! Sorry if it's short or not the usual standard.

2:30

The knight's collapsed on the seats of the train with a groan of relief and let their sore fingers let go of the numerous shopping bags the girls had given them to carry. Merlin, on the other hand, to the girl's insistence, had nothing to carry; resulting in a very happy Merlin and some extremely tired knights.

'Even after 1500 years,' Gwaine puffed, 'girls still love shopping.' Sarah punched him on the arm from her seat.

'Remember that half of that shopping is for you, you ungrateful git!

'Excuse me?' Gwaine asked, baffled at the unfamiliar term. Sophie shook her head dismissively.

'It's not a compliment, Gwaine.'

Arthur, Merlin, and the other knight's smirked and relaxed in their seats. Well, as relaxed as they could in something that in Camelot would only be explained by magic.

Elyan looked at Steph curiously from where she was sat looking at her mobile. 'What are you doing?' He asked. There was no reply. 'Steph?' Once again, there was no answer.

'Oh, she can't hear you, man.' Catherine explained. 'She's got her headphones in.' At Elyan's look she elaborated. 'Look at her ears.'

All the knights looked at her ears and noticed the black things blocking them. Leon was just about to pull one of them from her ear when Sarah stopped him.

'If you want to live then don't.' Leon's arm immediately retracted.

'What do we do then?'

'Easy.' Sarah shrugged and without warning she slapped Steph's arm with great force. The red head jumped slightly and turned in her seat, pulling out a headphone.

'What?' she snapped at Sarah, rubbing her throbbing arm.

'Stop being so anti-social,' Sarah shot back defensively, 'Elyan was asking you a question.' Steph turned to Elyan expectantly.

'What were you doing?'

'Listening to music.'

'Why couldn't we hear it then?' Arthur challenged. Abi stuck one of her own headphones in his ear and the other in Elyan's and pressed play.

The yelps of shock were enough to turn everyone's attention to them. Arthur yanked the offending article from his ear and threw it on the floor. Elyan also took the headphone from his ear.

'What,' Elyan began shakily, 'was that?' Abi looked at them innocently.

'Music, of course.'

'If that was music, then I'm worried.' Arthur retorted.

Sarah grinned, and said 'Just think how the mirror feels when you look into it!'

Sarah threw the trunks at the knights and crossed her arms. 'Get changed. And before you ask we're NOT helping.' The knights looked at Arthur for affirmation and then at the other girls.

Abi shook her head and laughed at Percival. 'You're on your own, mate.'

Obviously, the girls stood in the corridor while they waited for the knights to change. It took a ridiculously long time, and on various occasions a mutter could be heard; usually something along the lines of: "what are these strange contraptions", "Merlin, do you have to whinge like a baby?" and "I thing they got the wrong sizes…"

At last, when the girls had recovered from the knight's comical commentary, the door opened and seven very embarrassed and uncomfortable looking men trooped out of the room.

Catherine stepped up to them and began splitting them up in to groups. 'Percival, Merlin, Lancelot and Elyan stand here. Arthur and Gwaine, you stand here. Leon, you stand here.'

'Catherine,' Sophie began, 'Will, you go with Leon?'

Catherine nodded. 'Yeah, okay.'

Sophie bit her lip and looked around at the others. 'So if me, Sarah, Amy and Steph go with those four,' she said, pointing at Percival's group, 'Catherine with Leon and Abi and Ami with the other two, would that work?'

Everyone nodded and split up. Mission "humanise knights" was go.

'So I turn it this way to get the water out?' Lancelot checked, 'and this to change the temperature?'

'Yeah.' Steph muttered distractedly, frowning at Percival's attempts to turn the shower on. 'Hey Percival, what are you doing?'

'I can't get it to work.' He shrugged. Steph rolled her eyes and pushed Lancelot in to the shower. 'Get a move on!' She called over her shoulder and headed over to explain to Percival for the fourth time how to work the shower.

Sarah grinned at Steph from where she was sat on a stool by Merlin's shower, calling step by step instructions to him as she did. 'Yes Merlin, the green bottle!' and then to Steph, 'where's Amy?'

'Toilet.' Steph rolled her eyes and settled down one the floor next to Percival's shower.

Sophie picked up the towel and threw it over the top of the shower for Elyan.

'Thank you.' Elyan said appearing from behind the shower curtain with the towel wrapped around his waist, he was now completely dry.

'It's alright.' She replied. She picked up a plastic bag. 'Put the trunks in here and let's get back to the other room.'

Catherine sat in silence on the stool by the bathtub. Leon was the knight she had been charged with sorting out. 'Don't take too long.' She said after a few minutes.

Leon nodded once and began washing his hair with the Strawberry shampoo that Abi had provided. He then stopped and looked at the bottle of showergel. Cathering picked up a sponge and handed it to him. 'Put some on that and wash properly. I mean it. There is no way any of you are coming back in our room if you stink.'

'OW!' A yelp came from one of the showers.

'What happened this time?' Abi asked, grinning manically at Ami and turning the cold tap of one of the sinks on. Ami clapped her hands over mouth in a bid to stop laughing.

'The water has gone hot!' Arthur yelled.

'Quit being such a baby!' Abi yelled back. She turned the tap off and turned the hot tap on. 'Is that better?'

'Yes, that's- NO, IT'S FREEZING!'

'What's going on?' Amy asked, sticking her head through the door.

'Abi keeping turning the tap on and listening to Arthur squeal.' Ami whispered, giggling.

Amy's face went stony. 'Abi, please don't.' Abi looked at her innocently and switched taps. 'ABI, STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!'

Silence ensued. Everyone gawked at Amy like she'd grown an extra head and Steph and Sarah came out of the other shower room to see if they had heard correctly.

'Bloody hell.' Steph muttered. 'That's something that doesn't happen here everyday.'

'Will you lot hurry up?' Catherine begged before returning to the bedroom with Leon.

After a couple of uncomfortable minutes, Lancelot stepped out of his shower cubicle and looked at Abi. 'You are such a trouble maker.'

'No I'm not!' Abi protested. 'I just make things interesting!'

'Right.' He said sarcastically, placing a hand on Ami's back and escorting her from the room in a gentalmanly fashion.

'Well?' Arthur asked.

The girls were stood in a line with their heads cocked to one side. The knights were stood opposite them, looking nearly completely 21st centuryish.

They were all dressed in baggy jeans, (different makes, of course), but had different tops. Arthur had a plain grey T-shirt, Merlin, had a black T-shirt, Percival was in a white vest top, Elyan had a long-sleeved black t-shirt, Leon had a forest green T-shirt and an unbuttoned shirt over the top, Gwaine had chosen a designer T-shirt, Lancelot had chosen a pale blue shirt, and under instruction had left the top three buttons undone.

As if that wasn't enough, Gwaine had been given a haircut. He had been horrified. He had fought. He had been threatened. So he had shut up. Well… that's what everyone else was told by Catherine. They had also been submitted to shaves. All in all, they looked like semi-respectable but cool men in their twenties.

Merlin shifted uncomfortably. 'Erm... what do you think?'

Ami nodded and smiled. 'I think you look great.' It was like she had broken a spell, because the other girls were immediately agreeing and putting their own opinions forward.

Steph sat down next to Catherine. 'It would have make more sense to put them into their tracksuit bottoms, you know.' She said quietly. 'It's nearly bedtime already!'

Catherine regarded her and after a moments thought her eyes widened. 'We need to get their clothes in the wash and get the armor hidden properly.'

'I'll take the clothes.' Steph offered. 'Should we get some bottles of water from the vending machine for them?'

'Yeah, i'll come with you.'

Steph and Catherine shoved the clothes in to the washing machine and left it for a quick wash.

'By the time we get the water and get it all upstairs and get down again, the wash will be finished and we can shove it in the dryer and iron them.'

'Don't do that.' Steph frowned. 'Stick them in the shower rooms overnight when we get our showers.'

'Why?'

'It stops them from creasing. Dry them then leave them in the bathroom.'

'Where on earth did you get that from?' Catherine asked incredulously.

'I read it in a book.'

'Of course you did.'

Ami shoved the last of the armor in the spare room and collapsed on the floor in exhaustion. Gwaine winked at her.

'Tired?'

'Yes! How do manage to walk in those?'

'I sometimes wonder myself.'

Ami checked the time and quickly stood up. 'Matron will be up soon. Will you and the others hide or do you need us to make you?'

Gwaine sucked in a deep breath. 'I think we can hide ourselves, thank you.' He replied hastily.

The figure in black smirked as the reflection in the water shimmered and warped into the image she sought. The Arthur and his knights were finally somewhere where they couldn't thwart her plans. She laughed and turned away from the bowl. Morgana met her sister's gaze.

'It worked.'

'Of course it did.' Her sister replied weakly. 'Soon, my sister, soon we will be rid of all of those who stood against us.'

Sarah sat frowning at Merlin from the other side of the room. Lancelot settled next to her. 'Even Merlin isn't stupid enough not to notice you staring at him from across the room, Sarah.'

'Hmm? Oh, I was just thinking about what you said about Morgana sending you here.'

Lancelot rolled his eyes. 'It's alright. I know about his magic.' He whispered.

'Maybe, he could get you back.' Sarah replied. 'As long as the others didn't see, then they'd not find out.'

Lancelot looked at Merlin. 'That's a good idea. Let me ask him.'

(Cringing) Am I in trouble? I'm soooo sorry I put everyone through all that "On hiatus" "Abandoning" "Possible update" stuff. It was really unfair on you and I sincerely apologise. Please read and review but NO FLAMES!
