A/N: Did all you Americans have a good 4th of July? I hope so. My gosh, you guys have NO idea how long I've wanted to write an AU/modern day fic. So I figured I'd take baby steps, and make it a drabble. :) This was inspired by the 3oh!3 song by the same name.
Drabble 17: Streets of Gold
Merlin Emrys was nervous. He'd been going to school with Arthur Pendragon for some time now, and they were on their way (in Arthur's very expensive car) to the Pendragon manor to work on a project. (Which meant Merlin did the work and Arthur put his name on it.) Upon arriving, Merlin thought he must have stepped into an alternate universe... with a castle.
"Wow," was his intelligent remark.
"Er, yeah."
The inside was even more spectacular. It looked like something out of the fantasy books Hunith used to read to him as a kid.
Merlin wasn't in Ealdor anymore.
