A/N: In this story Aithusa egg was hatched six months ago.

3 days later: Tuesday

It was early to mid morning Arthur, Merlin and Morgana were in the field where Merlin would go to see the dragon. They were working floatation magic when they felt what was like giant wings over them and seconds later Kilgharrah had landed with Aithusa and all three of them turned to Aithusa and Kilgharrah.

"Kilgharrah what the heck are you doing here, with Aithusa?" Merlin asked

"I am going somewhere where I can not bring Aithusa with me because it is to dangerous for a young dragon . So I must leave Aithusa with you until I return." Kilgharrah said

"Where are you going?" Arthur questioned

"I am sorry young prince but I can not say young prince." Kilgharrah said

"Well when will you be back?" Morgana asked

"I do not know my lady. Good bye I'll see you soon." Kilgharrah said then he flew off

"So what are we suppose to do with Aithusa." Arthur said

"I don't know. He's  to young to be left alone; so we need to bring him back to the castle." Merlin said (I don't know what gender the white dragon is so if you guys know please let me know and I'll change it)

"But where are we going to keep him?" Morgana asked

"In Gaius's chambers with Merlin." Arthur said

"We can't do that. If Gaius  finds out we brought a dragon into the castle where the king is he'll have a freak out." Merlin said

"Where do you suppose we keep him?" Arthur questioned crossing his arms

"Morgana?" Merlin said

"Uh no. Gwen is my maid she comes in so often eventually she'll find out." Morgana said

"Arthur we need to keep him at your room. People aren't even aloud to enter your room unless you say so expect for me and obviously I know so that's not a problem." Merlin said

Arthur sighed then spoke "oh alright fine he can stay in my room; it's not like we have any other options. Now we have one problem left how are we going to get it into the palace without anyone noticing." Arthur said

"Invisibility spell." Merlin said

"Ah of course." Arthur said throwing his arms in the air

Merlin then held out his hand then spoke "Invisiblia un dragon." Merlin said

"Um Merlin I can still see it." Arthur said

"That's because prat you have magic but the villagers and others won't." Morgana said

"Hey that's my line." Merlin said

"So he's still a prat as you like to say." Morgana said

"Guys I'm right here. Let's go." Arthur said

They then got the dragon to sit up on Arthur's horse. They then got on their horses and headed back to the castle.

When they got back to the castle. Merlin was able to get the dragon to fly beside Arthur to his room while Merlin put the horses in the stables and Morgana went back to her chambers.

Once Merlin was done with the horses he went back to Arthur's chambers. When he got inside Arthur was trying to make a bed for Aithusa by using extra blankets and placing them in the part of the room where they could cover it with a curtain.

"Arthur what are you doing." he asked and Arthur practically jumped out of his skin

"Ah Merlin you scared me." Arthur said then he continued "I'm trying to make a bed for Aithusa." Arthur said

"Here let me." Merlin said walking over

Merlin then took over, basically undoing everything Arthur did. Once they were done Merlin took off the invisibility spell off of Aithusa since he was so young it would be hard for him to handle it any longer. Merlin eventually got Aithusa to go on the bed and Arthur closed the curtain.

"So what do dragons eat and drink?" Arthur asked

"Well they're Omnivores sometimes especially until he's about two years old then they'll eat small rodents like mice and rats. They drink just water." Merlin said

"Okay i want you to get food and water for him; I also have some chores for you to do; you need to do my laundry, change my bedding, dust my room and wash the floors." Arthur said

"Yes my lord." Merlin said he then bowed and left and Arthur also left the room

Merlin went out side and gathered some plants and edible berries. He then went back into the castle and to Gaius's and his chambers. He opened the door and at the desk was Gaius.

"Hello Merlin." Gaius said

"Hi." Merlin said as he took out the stuff that he gathered

"What are you doing?"  Gaius asked

"Uh nothing really just getting this for Arthur." Merlin said

"What does he need with that?" Gaius questioned

"I have no idea." Merlin said lying

Merlin got a bowl out then put the plants and berries as he did it Gaius looked quite confused and Merlin noticed this as he was about to walk out. Merlin then spoke.

"I'm not going to get myself into trouble." Merlin said "hopefully" he thought

"You better not." Gaius said

Merlin then gave a slight nod then left the room. He went to give the food to Aithusa after that he went to fetch water from the well to give to the dragon. By the time he was done with Aithusa it was time for Arthur's lunch so he went down to the kitchen and got it. By the time he came back up with the tray of food Arthur was back in the room. He was sitting at the table looking pretty annoyed.

"Your late." Arthur said annoyed

"I know I'm sorry." Merlin said

"Why does he keep doing this." Arthur said as the dragon flew over his head again

"He's just wrestles they don't like being confined to small places. I'll take her out to fly around tonight. Daily I will take her out twice a day once in the morning and once at night." Merlin said

"Good. What do I have after lunch?" Arthur said

"You have a council meeting and training with the knights. Can you please tell Aithusa to calm down." Arthur said

Merlin then spoke in non English and Aithusa settled down.

"Good." Arthur said

After lunch Arthur did what he needed to while Merlin did his chores.
