Merlin stormed off, smacking the prat as she went. What was his problem? Sure, Merlin had expected laughter, but not the way he did it. When he had laughed, he sounded…..cruel. Uncaring that his best friend had suddenly been transformed into a girl. Arthur was such an ass.

When Merlin woke up that morning, something was wrong. There was a curve to his body and his hips were more prominent. There were two very large lumps on his chest. When Gauis had walked in, he gasped. Merlin was a girl.

Gauis first had found Gwen, delicately explaining the situation. After that, he left the two in his chambers so they could have "girl talk." Gwen then helped Merlin in a bra and tried to force him a dress, but he (she?) refused. Next thing they knew, as Merlin's first day of being a woman, her (his?) time of the month came. Gwen had very slowly explained to him (her?) the joys of that and how to handle it. Then she explained all that came with it, mood swings, cravings, bloating, and whole lot of other great stuff like that. Then the king of clotpoles came in.

"Merlin," said a voice when she was in the armory. She jumped. And…..fell.

"Arthur?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said, helping her to her feet, "Listen, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have treated you like that."

Merlin glanced at his arm still protectively around her shoulders, then she smirked. "Am I actually getting an apology from Arthur Pendragon?"

"Why yes you are. Don't tell anyone, though, you'll ruin my reputation," Arthur teased. Their banter continued on as usual, as if nothing happened, but then they heard voices approaching. Arthur shoved Merlin behind him, while she rolled her eyes and pushed him away.

The unofficial Knights of the Round Table walked in to armory. They were messing around as usual when they spotted a beautiful creature standing next to Arthur. Gwaine got there first.

"Why, hello, my beautiful lady," he said, swooping down and kissing her hand. "I am Sir Gwaine, Knight of Camelot. May I ask who you are?"

She rolled her eyes and looked at Arthur, who had been glaring at Gwaine ever since he laid eyes on Merlin. "Seriously, Arthur? Am I that hard to recognize? I'm even wearing the same clothing! I thought the neckerchief would be a dead give-away!"

"Wait, a minute…." said Lancelot, "Merlin?"

"Yep."

"Whoa, Mer," said Gwaine, looking her up and down, "What happened? You're freaking beautiful!"

Arthur wrapped his arm around her and glared at Gwaine, but Merlin didn't see. "Oh, thanks Gwaine. I dunno what happened. I just woke up like this," said Merlin, dully. The other knights, minus Lancelot as he was seeing Gwen, were glancing at her appreciatively, too. Arthur's grip on her tightened.

"We best be getting back to Gwen," said Arthur, steering her away. The knights said their farewells to them as Merlin raised an eyebrow at Arthur.

"What was that?"

"What was what, Merlin?"

"Why were you glaring at them the whole time?"

"I was? I didn't notice," said Arthur, not looking at her. They were back at Gaius' chambers. He pushed her in the door, to find Gwen had left.

"Well, see you tomorrow, Arthur," said Merlin, heading to her room.

"What? I'm not leaving you here alone," said Arthur. She was all alone in here. What if someone broke into the castle? No one would be here to protect her.

She rolled her eyes. "Please, I'm a grown man, or I guess woman. I've been alone before. And since when do you care?"

Arthur shrugged, feeling awkward. "Well, goodnight, Merlin."

He left then, images of Gwaine kissing Merlin's hand still in his head. Why did he feel angry?

Hey, hey, hey, what up? So you like? You hate? Review to let me know! Oh and earlier about Gwen helping Merlin in a bra, just so you know, they didn't have those back then. Just saying that so when you do your report for school on magical medieval kingdoms, you won't say they had bras somewhere in there. So whateves! :)
