"You're on in 5 minutes," Djaq, the assistant manager, informed the members of Robin and the Merry Men.
"Ok," Robin, the lead singer of the band, commented.
Allan, the guitarist, was tuning his green guitar. Will, the bass player, was peeking through the curtains to stare at the audience. Little John, the drummer, was rinsing the excess green dye off his gray streaks of hair. Much, the keyboard player, was doing something nonsensical in the corner of the dark room. Marian, the manager, was in her office taking calls about the different gigs that were available.
Five minutes had passed, and the band members grabbed their instruments. The band got on the dark stage. A spotlight came down on Allan's face. Allan smirked at the crowd and began strumming the guitar strings. Then a spotlight fell on everyone. It fell on Robin last, and he began singing a song called "Outlaws."

With that, the spotlights went off. The fans cheered. The band walked backstage to see Marian waiting for them.
"Great song, guys!" Marian congratulated, "I love how it reflects your Sherwood life."
"Hehehe, that's what we were going for," Robin chuckled before he kissed Marian.
"Well, guess where I got you guys a gig at!" Marian said excitedly.
"Somewhere," Allan jokingly answered.
"Well, yes. I got you a gig at Orlando's Universal Studios!" Marian cheered, "Well boys, pack your bags, we leave tomorrow."
The guys finished the concert, and packed their bags immediately.
Author's Note: Well, if anyone wants to check out the song Robin and the Merry Men sang, it can be located on YouTube. The song is called "Outlaws" and it is by 5 Second Rule. I think the song fits the gang pretty well. I hope you like this story. I have a question for my readers. When they are traveling to Orlando in Chapter 2, should they travel by airplane or tour bus? The first choice to reach 5 votes wins. You can leave your suggestion in the comment section or by PM, whichever you prefer.
