Hi, hopefully posting as many today as possible so I am back on schedule. Sorry. Thanks to all you lovely people, especially unicorn-vomit, VikingSong, dodobird987, PsalmReader, purplegiraffe21, POFP and luv2readfics. You are awesome. As is everyone else who reads this, but I don't know you're pen names... Also, I'm definitely not listening to Japanese songs...
Disclaimer – seriously, I think you get it. Remember the vanity and the non-owning of Merlin...
Merlin watched the car get closer and found himself with athletic ability. He pushed Leola out of the way. They both flew through the air, before landing as dead weights on Arthur Pendragon.
Arthur was astounded; here he was, minding his own business before being violently assaulted by some girl who now was sprawled on the ground next to him and tangled up with a boy who was half on him and half on the girl. Arthur noticed that the girl's hair was shiny with water. He could smell chlorine. "Great," he muttered, under his breath, "Now I'm covered in pool water,"
"I'm sorry, really sorry," the girl was looking at Arthur, "It was an accident that we fell on you,"
Arthur stared in into the mournful blue eyes of the girl, "I'm still, I'm..."
Merlin turned to Leola and saw her beautiful sad look. Even he felt it tug on his heart strings.
Arthur tried to reply, but felt he was looking at a small child, who could get him in trouble if he let her cry. "It's fine, sorry, no wait, please try not to do that again," Arthur felt himself blushing; he never stuttered and never forgave.
Leola looked at him and smiled he biggest smile, then she apologised, "I'm really sorry, but you were going to be hit by a car, just wanted to help, you know. Merlin here saved my life so you should thank him too," Her attitude had changed incredibly from the mournful child to the well spoken adult.
Arthur looked at the tall boy, "Thank-you, I'm..."
Merlin felt a sudden surge of magic power and finished Arthur's sentence, "Arthur Pendragon,"
Arthur stared at this strange boy who knew his name, "Oh, you're one of the fans, hi..."
Merlin shook his head, "No way!" Leola looked at him with such a writhing look that said, "If you were a potato, you would rot."
Leola interjected into the conversation, "Look, you're soaked, come back to our apartment and we'll dry you off Mister Pendragon," Unlike other people she rolled out the Pendragon, Arthur found he couldn't refuse, "Yeah, sure."
O
Morgana was laughing, Uther was pacing. "Morgana, stop that!"
"Why?"
"Arthur is missing,"
"Don't worry your perfect son won't be far away,"
Uther tried to ignore, the now, less true comment. Uther was terrified; he hadn't really prepared his son for life outside the house. Even though Arthur had university the next week, he couldn't bear to see him go. Uther knew this was insane but he couldn't let his son know about the world outside the walls of their mansion, nicknamed Camelot because of its size.
O
Arthur watched as Leola, as she had introduced herself as, opened the door with a lock and a key. He wanted to talk up, so Arthur being Arthur, he did, "Bit basic isn't it?"
Merlin responded, "Well your prattiness," Arthur winced but Merlin continued, "As you will see, me and my friend here cannot afford luxury accommodation,"
Leola turned round, "Who decided we were friends?" A smile grew on both Merlin's and Leola's faces. They laughed slightly and walked inside.
Arthur was confused, "Wait are you guys friends or not?"
Leola sighed, "What I did was sarcasm Arthur, just come in."
Arthur entered and preceded to hit his head against the door framed, there were marks were it had been done before. Merlin, Arthur thought, suddenly he said out loud, "Merlin Emrys Dragoon,"
Merlin stopped, his eyes widened, turning to look at Arthur, all he could thinks was, "How did he know?"
When Arthur spoke, Leola clutched a mug against her chest, when it seemed the conversation would not continue, she let out a relived sigh, and made three cups of tea.
After three cups of tea, between them, the group was sat on the floor of the living room (no space for chairs) and after several attempts at conversation to stop the awkward silence between Arthur and Merlin, Leola found that whatever words she spoke, ran against a brick wall and got brain damage. Her eyes constantly flickered from wall to wall, so that she wouldn't do something to stop her bored feeling that consumed her soul, usually she would create something out of fire, but for obvious reasons she couldn't.
Leola looked at her phone and smiled, she pressed music and a beautiful melody flowed out. The words were sung by a female, but in another language. She shut her eyes and felt the melody fill the room and flow around every good heart in the city. Happiness filled all those who had good intentions and smiles fluttered around the globe. Even the usual grouchy Arthur smiled as the song picked up on his courage that he possessed. Merlin felt the song pick up on his unknown destiny, warming his heart.
O
Morgana sat in her room a song playing around and around in her head. It was trying to break warmth into her heart, but her ice cold heart tried to force it out. Finally, she gave up the fight; the music flowed into her soul showing her memories of when she had excelled in everything. Tears started to flow down her face, her magic was coming back. After all that time, her heart was going to burst.
O
Hannah looked up into the sky; she watched the clouds fly past and smiled from deep within her soul. Rachel followed her gaze and silently agreed. That had to be Leola.
O
Uther paced his study and heard something strange coming from his throat. He was crying, but tears of joy not sadness. He saw himself as a young boy seeing the wonders of the world for the first time.
O
Leola smiled as she felt the feelings of the world bulging and so many feeling good and kind for the first time in many years. Her own soul was gripped with the song. For a moment everything was perfect.

The song I am referencing is Ichiban no Takaramono. I like it. You might not, it's from Angel beats.
