Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin (unfortunately), it is owned by BBC and I also didn't invent the survey questions.

AN: Once upon a time I wrote a little fanfic story called Survey Time for Harry Potter and in an effort to rekindle my funny bone I've decided to write a new story with Merlin characters. For timing, this originally starts after the events of Goblin's Gold.

Survey Time: Camelot Style

Chapter 1: Merlin

Merlin was bored, more bored then he had been in a long time. He walked along beside Arthur on yet another hunt, the third one this week in fact. Granted the prince had been pretty bored as well, but in Merlin's opinion that was no reason to torture him in the process.

"Merlin!" Arthur shouted in aggravation.

Merlin looked up from his musings dumbfounded. "What?"

"You only stepped on a twig and scared off the deer for the third time!" Arthur ranted.

"Then maybe you shouldn't bring me along on these tedious outings," Merlin retorted.

"You wish," Arthur replied with that irritating half chuckle, he did so well. And then to make it worse, the prince continued. "And since I didn't catch it, we get to go back hunting tomorrow."

Merlin swallowed a sigh inwardly and rolled his eyes when Arthur's back was turned. Suddenly he caught something out of the corner of his eye…A piece of parchment. And then once opening and reading it, Merlin suddenly grinned.

Merlin looked down at the survey that he just finished and grinned. He was quite pleased with himself especially when a thought struck him. Maybe he should pass this strange survey on, and see just who would answer. But there was one problem first, he needed to enchant it first so that any item that mentioned magic or anything that needed to be kept secret wouldn't be revealed to those who didn't already know the secret.

An hour later he looked at the scroll pleased. His enchantment was in place, and it was also long enough that many others could also respond to this survey. But there was only one person on Merlin's mind that had to do this next, Arthur.

He entered the prince's chambers where Arthur was sitting down writing out some sort of decree. Merlin plopped the scroll on top of what Arthur had been writing on just moments ago.

"Do you take pleasure in being totally incompetent and annoying?" Arthur asked.

"Do you take pleasure in being an arrogant dollup head?

Arthur rolled his eyes and picked up the scroll. "What is this?"

"Oh," Merlin said with a smirk. "Only something important."

Merlin's could hear Arthur's groan as he walked out of the room.

AN: There you have it the first chapter! I hope you have enjoyed this since Arthur is up next. If anyone didn't get the Pudsey reference then look up the Children In Need 2008 Merlin Special on youtube. I hope you guys enjoyed this and I would be super grateful for any feedback!
