Okay then, brand new story, and obviously, I do not own the characters, never have, never will. Oh well.

This story is dedicated to Paula545, and i'd just like to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! To you and to me, I guess. Woo, it's my birthday, 15 today. Hope you have a really great day Paula, (whoops, I sound just like a greetings card). Oh well, let's just get on with the show...

And by the way, this is set in season 3, after Will and Djaq return, and it's been a few months after Marian's death. But I don't like writing angsty Robin, so I thought i'd have him all happy and smiley. Wahey...

Now let's get on with the show...

The whole gang, excluding Will and Djaq, were sat around the camp fire in the middle of their home in the forest discussing what they were planning for the next day.

'Okay then gang, are we ready for Will's birthday party tomorrow? Much, food?' Robin asked his best friend. Although the party once again was Much's idea, as were all celebrations, he had decided to let his master organise the whole thing for fear of causing them to be captured once again. None of the gang had let him live it down.

'Yes master, all set. Cakes, buns, pies, ale. All done and ready for tomorrow.' Robin quickly nodded to acknowledge what he had said, before going round to Alan, and John, asking them if their parts had been completed, and luckily both had.

'So then, we're all ready. They should be back soon anyway, so we had better get some sleep, early start in the morning.' And so on his say so, Alan and Much followed Robin to their bunks, whilst John madfe his way to the entrance to the camp, to keep watch and make sure the two lovebirds came back safely.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will and Djaq were walking through Sherwood, hand in hand, their silhouettes set beautifully against the setting sunset. Will was talking quietly to his love, who was smiling at the ground, whilst occasionally looking up into his happy and relaxed face. She enjoyed these stolen hours with him more than anything, even if they had been arranged to remove him from camp by Robin and the gang. But no matter hiw much she was trying to listen to him, her mind now and again would wander to something else that was nearing.

'I think we should start heading back to camp now, the gang might start worrying about us now.' He said, looking down at her now straight and dazed face. 'Djaq? Are you alright?' She suddenly came out of her trance, shaking her head before looking up at his worried face and grinning. 'Yes Will, I am fine, though we shall not make it back home before the sun goes down, and we both know how dangerous it is in the forest at night. I guess we shall have to find shelter here in the village.' Little did Will know however, that this had been the gangs plan all along to get him out of the way for the night and the morning after. So Djaq and Will found a small barn to sleep in on the edge of town, and settled down for the night together.

Okay then, realy short first chapter, but I had to get something out there before the day ended, so here it is. Lots of birthday suprises coming up for the gang, including a guest appearance from the birthday girl herself, though i'm not going to tell you ho she comes into it. Okay then, 6 reviews to carry on.
