Robin Locksley was in the band called the outlaws with his best mates. There was Much there manager, Will there base player, Alan on keyboard and little John on drums. Robin loved his life it felt good to be playing music for a living but he couldn't help but feel a bit incomplete like something was missing in him. Robin had always loved music since he was little and had got from his mother.
Robin was sat on his Tour bus trying to think of a new song for his band to play. The others were doing there own thing. Alan and Much were arguing like normal. Will was carving some wood which was his other hobby and little John was sat listening to music while reading. Robin smiled at the group. They'd been together for about 5 years as a band but they had been friends much longer. They had gone through secondary school together back at Nottingham. Now they were going back home to where it all started for a concert and Robin couldn't wait to get back and see everyone again. Robin was brought out of his train of thought by Alan shouting.
"Much for goodness sake will stop spilling drinks and food all over my music sheets" Alan stressed
"Well if you would stop leaving them around then I wouldn't" Much replied
"It's a tour bus were meant to be messy" Alan exclaimed
"No you just believe it should be messy" Much explained
"Will you two stop fighting please? We are almost home" Robin sighed
"Fine okay" Alan said sitting down next to Will.
Much shook his head and went back to his sleeping part. Robin sighed again and laid down to get some rest before tomorrow.
In Nottingham…
Marian was sat on her bed with her best friend Katie. She was trying to convince Marian to go to a concert with her to see the outlaws.
"Come on Maz its just one night" Katie begged
"I don't know I've got a lot of marking to do" Marian explained. Marian was a school music teacher and she loved her job.
"But it's the outlaws there great even you thought they were and don't say you didn't!" Katie exclaimed
"Fine if I come will you stop badgering me" Marian sighed
"Yes! Thank you" Katie said hugging her "and anyway you got 6 weeks to mark things it's the summer holidays" Katie laughed
"Actually I don't I'm going to be seeing me father to much and were going on holiday to Spain don't forget" Marian pointed out
"I know its going to be great cute boys!" Katie giggled
"Is that all you think about" Marian laughed
"No I think about cutes boys and how they would look on my arm" Katie replied
"Boys are not accessories. There people" Marian explained
"Yeah but you got to say a good looking guy on your arm has got to look good too" Katie exclaimed
Marian just rolled her eyes at her. Katie and her had been best friends for ages and Katie knew how stubborn Marian was.
Next day…
Robin was walking down the old streets of the Nottingham remembering all the good time he had here as a kid. Robin was not looking were he was going because he was looking at his old school and ended up bumping into someone.
"O my God I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going my fault" Robin ranted helping the women to stand up.
"Its okay don't worry about it" She smiled at him
"Erm…I'm Robin" Robin said extending his hand
"Marian" She replied shaking his hand "I see you were looking at the school. You use to go here" Marian inquired
"Yeah, when I was younger. This is wear I met my mates who would of thought we would turn out we became a famous band" Robin laughed
"So what band you in?" Marian asked
"The outlaws were playing tonight in concert down at the castle. You should come I can set you up with some tickets it's the least I could do" Robin offered
"it's alright I'm already going with my friend Katie she sort of dragged me into it but if your as good as she says you are it should be fun." Marian smiled
"Well how about I give you some backstage passes then you can come see me after the show?" Robin insisted
"Sure okay that would be great" Marian thanked
"Well how about we pop back to the tour bus and I'll grab you them passes" Robin smiled
"I can't not now I got to collect some papers from the school so I can mark them but how about you meet me in the music room. You know where that is right?" Marian asked
"Yeah I remember. See you then" Robin smiled
"Okay Bye for now" Marian smirked walking up to the school doors.
Marian was sat in the music room grabbing all the papers she needed, when she heard a knock on her door. She turned to see Robin standing smiling at her, two passes in his hand.
"Hey again. Here are your passes" Robin handed them over to her
"Thank you" Marian took them and put them in her bag
"So you work here as a music teacher" Robin asked
"Yeah. Its great fun" Marian smiled
"I remember my Music teacher but he wasn't half as pretty as you" Robin smirked
"Wow! Your really are like what they say in all the magazines" Marian laughed
"No! Alan is the Womanizer" Robin replied
"Could have fooled me" Marian smiled
Marian picked up her bag and began walking out the room. Robin was soon behind her.
"So where you from?" Robin asked
"Knighton" Marian replied "But I got sent to boarding school in London" Marian explained
"Why were you a trouble maker" Robin joked
"No I just didn't see eye to eye with my father" Marian sighed "I wasn't good enough for him. I wasn't the perfect daughter"
The rest of the way they talked about random things and got to know each other better. Soon they had to part ways. With a handshake Marian made her way back to her house while Robin made his way back to the castle to help set up for tonight. Marian walked into her house to find Katie sitting on her sofa. I knew I shouldn't have given her a spare key Marian thought to herself.
"Hey what took you so long?" Katie asked
"O I bumped into someone" Marian smiled
"Who?" Katie grinned
"A man" Marian wasn't going to let her know that easily she would make her squirm
"O new boyfriend material" Katie smiled "What was his name and are you seeing him again"
"Well I'm seeing him tonight at the concert" Marian smiled walking into her room to get ready for tonight
Robin sat in his room. Something that Marian said about her father made him think. He had the music down for a new song but he didn't have the lyrics but now Robin had an idea he started to write them when he was done he took it to the gang and they decided they would play it tonight.
Later…
Marian and Katie were standing in the crowd waiting for the band to come out. She still hadn't told Katie about Robin but she did say that she got the back stage passes. Soon the Band came out on stage Robin walked up to his mike.
"Hello Nottingham" he got a cheer in reply "Me and the gang are happy to be back where we started. I can not believe how much has changed. The towns changed and the girls have got cuter" Robin smirked he was looking in the crowd for Marian and then he spotted her he winked at her causing her to blush. They played a few songs and then Robin spoke to the crowd again.
"This last song is for some one I met today as they helped me think of the lyrics"
Hey

be perfect
I try not to think
About the pain I feel
inside

spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't
care anymore
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to
make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't
stand another fight
And nothing's alright
'Cuz we lost it
all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now
it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't
be perfect
Nothing's gonna change the things that you
said
Nothing's gonna make this right again

your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts
forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late

perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm

Robin smiled "Thank you Nottingham you have been great. I hope you enjoyed it" Robin waved and the band walked off stage.
"Rob what was that about?" Will asked
"Your not telling me you met a bird already. We've only been here for a few hours" Alan exclaimed
"She is not a bird she is a women and her name is Marian. I bumped into her when I went out for a walked" Robin explained
"And by bumping into me he means accidentally knocking me over" Marian smiled
"Hey. You enjoy the concert?" Robin asked
"Yeah it was great and thanks for the call out. O this is my friend Katie by the way" Robin turned to Marian's side to see a smiling girl
"Hi nice to meet you" Robin smiled
"When you said you bumped into a man today Marian I didn't think you meant Robin Locksley from the outlaws" Katie exclaimed
"Well I did" Marian laughed
"Come on lets go back into the changing rooms" Robin smiled
With that Robin took Marian hand and led them all to the changing room. Where they all took a seat on the very comfy chairs.
"Marian Remind me to make you go and get work from school more often if it means you get to bump into stars" Katie smiled
"Thanks Katie" Marian shook her head
They sat and talked for a while the band got to know Marian and Katie and Marian and Katie got to get to know the band better. They found out that the band was actually nothing like what the papers said and turned out to be real gentlemen. Well most of them accept Alan but he was sweet. Well Katie seemed to think so.
"Well how about we go out clubbing for the night considering we have nothing left to do" Alan suggested
"Yeah I'm up for that" Katie smiled she liked Alan he was funny
"Well then lets go" Robin said standing up
