"Movies?"

"Wanna go to the movies? It's only 7:00." Holly asks from her claimed seat, the lonely but comfy chair. Both Merlin and Arthur look at her the exact same time. "That's creepy. Please don't do that again." She asks. She's upside down on the chair with her blonde hair now in two long pig tails on the sides of her head.

"I don't even know what's playing these days." Merlin says as he flicks through the channels not paying any real attention to what's on and passing through.

"Movies?" That's when Arthur clues in he has no idea what there talking about or what a movie even is.

"Yeah. A movie." Holly says like it's the most obvious thing ever.

"What's a movie?" He asks and Holly's eyes widen.

"Are you serious?" She looks at Merlin. "Is he serious?" She then looks back at Arthur. "What the hell mate."

"Holly," He starts. "Have you've forgotten that he's not from here?" He asks and she throws a grin at Arthur as she responds to Merlin.

"No. But you know what a movie is and you're not from here." She says like she's stating the obvious. Which she kind of is but not at the same time.

"He's been dead. I haven't." Well not technically. Merlin has been dead on the inside, but Holly doesn't need to know that.

Her eyes go wide again and her grin gets bigger as she shows white teeth. "Oh yeah." She says slowly. "So you're like, a baby."

Merlin smacks his hand over his mouth and his gaze goes straight to Arthur who's eyes are wide.

"A what."

"A baby. You know, like a small human? I'm sure you guys had them back then right?" She asks turning back so she's sitting properly in the chair but her legs are still crossed.

Merlin can tell she's being a smartass. He knows the look in her eyes. He should know, he's the one who started it all to begin with. He's the one who invented that look.

Arthur on the other hand is a little rusty with the sarcasm and smartassness.

Merlin sputters out a laugh at Arthur's red face. "Yes we had babies. What did you think happened?" Arthur's face is beat red.

She starts laughing and Merlin joins her. Arthur glares at them both and turns his attention back to the tv.

"You guys are awful." He says not taking his eyes away from the tv screen.

Merlin chuckles and puts his hand on Arthur's arm. "Yeah but that's what you loved about me." He starts laughing again and turns back to Holly, missing the way Arthur's gaze lingered on Merlin for a tad longer than usual.

Holly didn't miss it though.

"Well what about the fair that's going on? That's gotta be fun." Holly says standing up grinning so wide Merlin thought for a moment her face would split in two. Maybe then she would be quiet and stop barging in all the time.

Merlin looks over at Arthur who's got the most confused look on his face. "What's a fair?" He asks slowly.

Merlin the smirks over at Holly. "Oh we have to take him."

Holly then claps her hands and starts dancing on the spot and Merlin smiles over at Arthur who looks a little scared. Which makes Merlin enjoy this even more.

"You look scared." Merlin says nudging Arthur who's eyes are wide.

"Um no." He says but his expression gives it all way.
