Muffet's Propaganda Playhouse

Marcie, Marcie, MARCIE!

After a few minutes, Mason lost Muffet in the crowd. There were so many people walking on the streets, and Mason was so short that he couldn't keep track of her. He sighed and then started walking home. Merlin was already up and drinking tea when Muffet came back. He had calm emotionless expression but Muffet could tell he was mad. He also got pouty when Muffet leaves without him. Muffet always teasingly says that he loves her so much he always wants to be by her side, but Merlin coldly says its because Muffet's uncle would be furious if anything happened to her when Merlin is supposed to be looking after her.

"Is something bothering you, Merlin?" Muffet asked playfully.

Merlin just looked at her then looked back at his tea cup and took a sip. Muffet poured herself a cup of tea then sat down across from Merlin. She tried to look him in the eyes but he just kept looking down at his cup of tea. A few minutes passed and Merlin decided he would set a few rules. As he moved his head up and opened his mouth, he noticed Muffet was leaning across the table and was right in his face.

"Are you going to answer me or not?" 

"I'm going to set a few ground rules" Merlin said quietly. "Firstly, you aren't to sneak off without me. I have to protect you or I'll be fired."

"I only went to go film, if I you went with me I would of had to carry you and that definitely was not going to happen." Muffet said.

"You still should have told me." Merlin sipped up the last of his tea then sat the cup down and pushed it to the side. "Secondly, I forbid you from filming the show with Mason."

"I forbid you from forbidding me!" Muffet shouted. "The only reason I came her was to make my own show and profit from it, so why would I NOT film?"

"I didn't say you couldn't film at all, just not with Mason while he is on the set" Merlin raised his voice a bit when saying this.

"But he is one of the only few characters I was able to drag on to the show!" The actress  responded. "And we can't kill off a character THIS early anyways."

"These are the only two rules. I am sure I will have to make more by the time you leave the city" Merlin got up from his chair and went over to the door and locked it. "And you will not be filming next Tuesday's episode unless you cut Mason out of the picture."

"UGH. Fine. I'll have to get rid of him sooner than I wanted to." Muffet pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "But I'm going to have to make sure a certain student stops skipping my lessons.." A few seconds later someone answered the phone.

"Yes?" Answered Marcie.

"Why haven't you been showing up for filming of the show?" Muffet asked with an annoyed tone.

"Oh, I thought the show started in two months?" Marcie answered.

"No you dimwit, we started filming the show a month ago! Get down to the studio tonight or you're fired!" Muffet yelled.

"Muffet, you are paying me with coupons to your bakesale, do you think I really care about getting fired?" 

"I'll sue you for not fulfilling your contract." Muffet then started reading the contract that Marcie signed, out loud. "U must obay  mi evri comand! o and act 2"

"You wrote that contract on a napkin!" Marcia exclaimed "But fine, I'll come to film. My grandma's birthday is coming up and she always loves some good coupons"

"Okay, show up at the studio tomorrow tomorrow at 10:00 AM. Make sure you bring some arsenic with you" Muffet said as she hung up the phone.

"Muffet, I just told you that you could not film the show if Mason is still in it." Merlin walked over to Muffet and leaned down to her face. "You are not showing up for that shooting tomorrow, especially if you are planning on using arsenic."  

"Relax Merlin, I am taking care of Mason."

The room was quiet for a few minutes. Muffet was waiting to see what Merlin had to say, and Merlin was contemplating whether he should let Muffet go or not. If she was trying to dispose of Mason, she shouldn't be doing it on set.

"Tell me what you are planning on doing and then I will decide on whether I will let you go or not. He finally said.

"Its a secreeeet~" She said playfully.

Merlin glared at Muffet. "Then you are not stepping foot out of this room for the time being."

"Well you can't tell me what to do in the first place. You aren't my father, you are just a bodyguard butler. If anything, you should be listening to ME. There is nothing dangerous about Mason, he is a literal five year old."

Muffet stormed off to her bed and threw herself onto it. She grabbed her pillow and covered her face and started throwing a fit.

"Stop this at once, you look like a little child who didn't get the toy they wanted."

 Merlin walked to the bedside and watched Muffet have a temper tantrum. After awhile, Muffet calmed down and she drifted off to sleep. She was dreaming about her young brothers and sisters. They were cold and starving, in their cave. Muffet felt so sad for them, and it encouraged her to do whatever it takes to get to the studio so she can make some money for a heated limo. All of sudden she woke up. She looked at her phone and it was 10:00 PM. Then she looked up and saw Merlin watching over her.

"It's about time for me to take my shower." Muffet said while grabbing a towel and a suitcase. "Okay, unlock the door so I can use the complex's showers."

"Why do you need to bring a suitcase with you?" Merlin said while peering at the suitcase.

"I am just packing my toothbrush, my night clothing, my day clothing, my Playhouse uniform.." Muffet began to list every thing until Merlin interupted,

"And what do you need all of that for? You are only showing correct?"

"It's none of your business, just unlock the door" Muffet said quickly.

Merlin went over to the door slowly and unlocked it.

"Okay, but I am going with you to make sure you aren't running off." He said cooly.

As soon as Merlin opened the door, Muffet bolted out the door and ran for the stairs.

"You forgot your suitcase Muffet" Merlin yelled.

A few seconds later and Muffet turns around then gets her suitcase. Then runs back over to the stairs. She almost made it but Merlin grabbed her hand.

"Why are you in such a rush?" He said.

"I just really want to bathe, I feel...dirty" She answered.

They walked down the stairs and outside the bathroom door together and then Muffet walked halfway in, then held the door open a bit.

"I'll be right out" She said with a smile.

Before Muffet could close the door fully, Merlin stop it with his foot. Muffet looked at him with a confused expression. Merlin stared back at her with an emotionless face. They continued to stare at each for a few minutes until Muffet spoke up.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm coming in with you" Merlin replied.

"Ummm no, its the girls bathroom; you aren't allowed inside." Muffet said as she tried to slam the door on Merlin's foot.

"That won't stop me, I have to make sure you aren't trying to pull any tricks" Merlin said sternly.

Muffet rolled her eyes then opened the door. Merlin was about to take a step forward but Muffet lifted her leg and kicked Merlin in the crotch. He fell the the ground and tried to hold in a scream. Muffet slammed the door and went over to the window. Then she put the suitcase under the window and stood on it so she could reach the locks on the window. Muffet unlocked the window and opened. Next she pulled the suitcase handle out so it was really long. She crawled out the window and grabbed the handle to the suitcase then pulled it out with her. She opened up the suitcase and made sure everything she needed was inside. A needle, Perfume, Grapes, Medical Gloves, Hand mirror, Medical mask, Pepper Spray, etc. She then stood up and ran onto the streets, suitcase in hand.
