ME NO OWN MERLIN!

The Great Strong Wise Merlin

"I'm bored!" Arthur whined as he kicked his feet from where he was sitting in Gwaine's lap.

Why was he sitting in Gwaine's lap you might ask? Well my friends, there is a simple answer to everything, and the answer to this one question was simply because Gwaine was the evil dragon and Arthur had to make sure that the evil dragon didn't destroy anything. Merlin—who was the old wise story teller—had told him that this was the only way to keep the evil Gwaine dragon from destroying things. And the dragon's protector Percival just had said that dragon was immortal and cannot be killed. Well that was what he said before Arthur had killed him of course. Speaking of the dragon protector Percival, he was, at the moment, the evil Gwaine dragon's foot rest while he sat in Gwaine's lap while Merlin tied them up for some odd reason with random rope he somehow found in his room.

Gwaine wasn't really up for the idea being tied up with rope while Arthur was on his lap, but Arthur said he couldn't let him hurt anyone anymore and that this was the only way to make sure that he didn't push him off of his lap and onto the dead dragon protector Percival.

Yes, even after this really complicated and weird game Arthur came up with, he was just so very bored.

"Gwaine, get your feet off of me." Percival demanded from where Merlin tied him to Gwaine's feet since Arthur also insisted deeply on it.

"Sorry, no can do Percy. Awesome Dragon Slaying and Dragon Protector Slayer King Arthur won't allow it." Gwaine apologized using Arthur's title since he ordered them to use it. This child was just one weird child if you ask Gwaine.

"Where did you even get the rope Merlin?" Percival asked as he looked up at Merlin. Merlin smiled at him as he tied the last knot that held Arthur and Gwaine together.

"George gave it to me. He said I could never have enough rope." Merlin replied happily, setting the extra unneeded rope down beside the tied up four.

"You mean the boring servant that makes jokes about brass?" Gwaine asked as his lips turned up in a slight snarl of disgust. Merlin nodded as he sat down in a chair in front of them.

"Silence!" Arthur suddenly shouted. "Evil Gwaine dragon, you are not allowed to speak." he snapped as Gwaine just rolled his eyes in slight amusement. "Merlin the Wise Old Story Teller, tell us a story." he demanded. The blonde haired boy's face broke up into a smile as he looked at Merlin in hope. Merlin sighed, not knowing any stories on the spot.

"Sorry Arthur I don't know any stories you would like." he apologized. Arthur frowned not liking the answer.

"It's Awesome Dragon Slaying and Dragon Protector Slayer King Arthur to you!" he snapped making Merlin chuckle lightly in responds. "And I'm bored! I can't move without releasing the evil Gwaine dragon so it shall be your duty as Merlin the Wise Old Story Teller to tell me a story to my liking!" he demanded with a pout.

"Fine," Merlin grumbled as he decided on the first story that came to his head. "Once upon a time there was an evil man named Gwaine,"

"Oi! What is your obsession with turning me into an evil man?!" Gwaine unkindly interrupted. Arthur kicked his shin but light enough not to hurt the older man.

"Shh! It's getting to the good part!" he shushed, letting Merlin continue.

"Okay… well he had a sidekick named Percival." Percival rolled his eyes at that in amusement as Merlin went on. "They were very evil together, torturing pigs and chickens and all of that stuff. Well one day while Evil Gwaine and Sidekick Percival were in their secret headquarters called the 'Local Tavern', the bravest man in all the lands strolled in. Beside him was the real power of the duo, his name was The Great Strong Wise Merlin who—no matter how annoying it got—served the bravest man in all of the lands. His name was Arthur, the Bravest Man in All of the Lands." Gwaine couldn't help but snort at Merlin's story, Arthur kicking his shin lightly once more as he stared at Merlin with excitement, waiting for the next part of the 'great' story.

"What happened next Merlin?" he asked making the manservant also excited to tell the story he had just made up and is still making up by the second.

"Well," Merlin started as he leaned back in his chair trying to look cool to the de-aged prince. "Arthur, the Bravest Man in All of the Lands turned to his friend and said, "The Great Strong Wise Merlin! I cannot defeat these two evil men by myself! Please grant me your power and wisdom!" he begged on his hands and knees. After much pleading from the brave man, the awesome Merlin finally agreed. "Okay, stand back and watch real greatness at its true work!" he demanded making the brave man cry out in joy. "I'll just stand here behind this random barrel for safety!" Arthur suggested as he watched Merlin be strong and amazing. "Oh no!" cried the Evil Gwaine as he picked up a spoon, trying to warn the great man off as the Sidekick Percival ran away from fear. "Oh however will I defeat this great strong wise man?! He is too awesome for me!" Before all else was said, Merlin grabbed the spoon and hit Evil Gwaine on the head, knocking him unconscious. The End." Merlin finished with the look of pride on his face while Arthur—who obviously liked the story—praised Merlin on how amazing the story was.

"Percy, I get the impression Merlin likes to make us the bad guys," Gwaine said, glancing down from where Percival laid at his feet. "you?"

"Yeah, I think so too" the knight agreed with a slight nod of his head, trying but failing to hide the amusement in his voice as he laughed a little.

"Merlin," Gaius suddenly said as he walked into his room. "Have you seen my—oh my." Gaius stopped in midsentence as he gazed upon the four of them with wide eyes, eyebrows arched high on his forehead in shock.

"Hi Gaius!" Arthur chirped happily, the boredom no longer there. Gaius was at a definite lost for words as he just stood there taking in the scene with his old eyes.

"Merlin," Gaius finally said after a while, his eyes never leaving the three who were tied up together. "What on earth happened in here?" Finally, the old physician tore his eyes away from the strange sight to look at Merlin. Merlin just shrugged in responds; no longer could the servant push down the smile that kept tugging on the corner of his lips as he looked straight into Gaius's eyes.

"Arthur got bored." he said in a joyous tone. Gaius nodded to the tied up trio, agreeing with Merlin.

"I can see that Merlin." Gaius said, a knock at the door interrupting any further conversation. Jumping a little in surprise, Gaius turned around and left the room to answer the door, trying to forget the scene that kept replaying over and over in his mind.

"Just one minute!" he called as he brushed some books out of the way and opened the door.

"Gaius," The said man looked up to see Leon standing there with a look close to worry, Elyan standing behind him with the same expression.

"What is it Leon?" Gaius asked the troubled looking knight.

"Do you know where Arthur is? No one has seen him at all today He hasn't made even it to practice earlier." Leon replied as he fingered the edge of his red cape unconsciously. Gaius tried his best to look as surprise and worried as Leon did, but the sudden shout coming from Merlin's room made him close his mouth before he could respond.

"Merlin, tell Gwaine to stop!" the childish voice shouted, Merlin's reply coming a second later. Gaius turned back to the slightly startled knights, trying to look as if he heard nothing and this was normal.

"I-is that a child?" Elyan asked from behind Leon, looking at Gaius in confusion. After another shout from Arthur in Merlin's room, Gaius composed himself and looked the knight straight in the eyes.

"Yes Elyan, don't you know what a child sounds like?" he asked with a 'tsk', shaking his head in disapproval.

"Gaius!" Arthur cried as he ran into the room and hid in front of him, peering behind the old physician as Percival and Gwaine came running in—no longer tied together—and stopped immediately once they saw the two knights in the door way.

They just couldn't keep out of trouble could they?
