NOTE: I'm really really sorry for the long wait. My only excuse is that I have had a huge amount of college work, but I will endeavour to post more constantly and regularly from now on. Message me if I'm taking too long and I'll try to speed things up! I know exactly what's going to happen, I just haven't written it yet!

Also I'd just like to clear up some inconstancies I noticed while reading the whole thing through. Arthur is the King in the current and future chapters, though in the first couple when they met Merlin for the first time, Uther was King. However, in the time that they were gone Arthur had become King. Gwen and Arthur aren't together at the moment, but do love each other. At this point they're still caught up in their social roles. Hope that clears things up and doesn't make it even more confusing!

Thanks once again for all the views, reviews, favourites and follows. I really do appreciate every single one. I hope that you will continue to enjoy my story. Thanks!

"So, you and Arthur." How's that going?" Rose questioned as she disappeared behind a screen in Gwen's home, borrowed dress in hand.

"I don't know what you mean. There's nothing…we're not…"

"I've done it again haven't I?" Rose interjected before Gwen got too distressed, sticking her head out the side of the screen, which was actually just a piece of cloth hanging from a post along the ceiling.

"Maybe the Doctor's right. I really do suck at time travel."

At Gwen's puzzled look Rose changed the subject.

"So you're just friends then?" She asked, disappearing once again.

"Not even that really. He's the King and I'm just; I'm a servant. I'm ordinary. There can never be anything between us. Not ever."

"Don't say that!" Rose exclaimed, her head reappearing from behind the cloth.

"You are not just a servant! You're Gwen. You're an amazing, kind hearted person with so much to offer the world. And if there is one thing I've learnt from the doctor, it is that you are not ordinary; no one is. You are way more than just your status. Any man would be lucky to have you, even, no, especially, Arthur. Just you wait and see."

For a moment Gwen just stood and took in the blonde's words, a sense of hope blooming in her chest. Then reality took over.

"Spoken like someone who has never served." Gwen sighed with a sad smile.

Suddenly a thought struck her.

"Who are you really? The way you speak; you're not nobility are you?" Gwen was slightly panicked now; worried that she shouldn't have been talking so casually with someone of higher rank. It would be just like Merlin to not tell her that his new friends were visiting royalty or something of the like.

"God no!" Rose hastened to assure her as she carried on dressing. Letting out a small laugh she continued speaking, almost as if to herself. "Mum will love that. Me, mistaken for nobility. She'll have a right laugh."

Reassured that she hadn't made a fool of herself, Gwen moved to sit at her small table. Her new friend was turning out to be quite amusing and a welcome change from most of the people she knew.

"So." Rose declared as she came out from behind the makeshift screen for the final time. "What do you think?"

The blonde was clothed in a simple cotton dress almost identical to the one that Gwen was currently wearing, but it seemed that her new friend found it much more exciting than Gwen ever did.

"Do I look like an ordinary resident of Camelot?"

Finding the blonde's excitable mood contagious Gwen replied cheekily: "I thought that no one is ordinary."

Laughing Rose twirled around once before going to sit beside Gwen at the table.

"You got me there! Well, ok, do I at least look more presentable?"

"Definitely." Gwen responded with a fond smile, already becoming quite attached to her new friend.

"Although," she carried on. "We do need to talk about your hair…"
