doompaw and I wrote this weird comment fic about Katie bullying Bradley, I discussed the repercussions of such an event with thisissirius, and then I ran into this conversation I once had about Bradley being weird with sophieisgod and this baby was born. YOU CAN BLAME THEM FOR THIS. Also, while you're here:

"Hey Katie, you're a PI part-time, yeah?"
Katie choked on her soda, "What, how do you know that?"
Anthony shrugged. "I looked you up in the yellow pages."
"Oh," said Katie, feeling rather stupid. She should have known, honestly. Anthony spent an inordinate amount of time going through the yellow pages.
"Anyway, d'you want to make 10 pounds?"
"I make more than that tracking down someone's lost cat, Anthony.")
I WILL BE BACK WITH MORE PONY!FIC LATER. *needs to finish another Merlin RPF piece and get it betaed before midnight*
Eventually Anthony tells her what he needs her to look into, and Katie agrees to lower her standard fee from 400 pounds to 350, because it's something interesting.
Interestingly, none of the other cast or crew seem to know enough French to have figured out that there actually is free wireless at their lodging. Katie logs on and begins by doing a quick Google search before she sends out a few subtle enquiries to the usual individuals.
She then spends half an hour looking at cat macros and recording it as time charged to Anthony before going over tomorrow's script.
Katie's surprised by how quickly the results come in. Until she takes a look at the pictures. All she has to say is: Colin and Bradley really need to take their extracurricular activities to more private places. God, she will never be able to wash those not-entirely-mental images from her mind.
But the were kind of hot. Sort of.The next day, she walks up to a tree wear Colin and Bradley are - or so they say - "doing homework".
"You know what's really disgusting?" Katie asks as she plops down next to them. She ignores Bradley, who keeps flashing her annoyed, 'PLEASE GO AWAY' looks.
"Hmm?" Colin replies.
"All those people who have sex on their hotel balconies. I so did not need to see that, last night."
Colin blushes a bit and makes a weird, coughing sound. Bradley chokes on his Coke and spills half the bottle on his chainmail.
Costuming is, of course, pretty pissed off about the coke thing, and Bradley's scene is moved back while they clean it up and re-dress him.
In the meantime, Katie's scene with Colin has been moved up to accommodate.
"You really shouldn't tease him so much," Colin says between takes.
"I really should," Katie replies just as seriously. "And I was serious about the balcony thing. Not that it's not lucrative."
For the first time in the four months she's known Colin, he actually whips his head around and turns an unusually bright shade of pink, not just his usual low flush. "WHAT?"
Oh, Katie thinks. Interesting.
Apparently he thinks Katie is a secret paparazzo in her spare time. It's very amusing, especially when Bradley catches on.
He corners her one day when she's leaving craft services (well, 'finds and drags away very obviously' to be accurate) and proceeds to make sad eyes at her and ask, "What have you and Colin been doing lately?"
It takes Katie a lot of effort to keep from bursting into hysterical laughter. "Obviously Colin and I are having a secret love affair," she says flatly.
You, sir, are a delight. Also, LOL at Anthony being the uncle who puts, like, 50p in birthday cards.
KATIE AS A PI, OH MY DAYS. She would look fabulous in a trenchcoat, it must be said.
She would. Tiny!Katie probably dreamed of being a PI because of the awesome, swishy trenchcoats she saw them wearing on TV.
