Had this idea for ages found in one of my many notebooks. I don't own BBC Robin Hood

Chapter one

The last day of summer

"The last day of the summer Holidays" said Allan throwing a stone into the river. "Tomorrow we're been back at school again surrounded by teachers, rules, teachers and the Black Knights"

Will groaned at the mention of school and the Black Knights. "Thanks for reminding me. I was trying not to think about school"

"Hey I though you be glad" said Allan turning to his friend "I mean you get full use of art room and the woodwork room" Will shrugged digging his hands into his pockets "We got one more day of freedom, lets find the others and do something fun"

Will raised an eyebrow wearily, Allan something had a odd meaning of the word fun "Like what?"

Allan just grinned "Come on"

Robin, Much and John had spend the morning aimlessly walking around the town center and now they were sitting on a beach watching the pigeons "So what now?" asked Much after a few minutes doing nothing. He was feeling boarded and frustrated.

"Lets get some fish and chips for lunch" said Robin suddenly jumping on this feet "I'm paying"

"Sounds good to me" said John not one for turning down food.

They sat on a beach eating and talking about food and girls. They were just finishing when Allan and Will appeared "Hey" said Robin loudly "It's chip and Dale. We were wondering where you got too"

" I'm not a talking rat" said Allan crossly tackling Robin into a headlock.

"There are actually chipmunks" corrected Much rolling his eyes.

"Same thing" said Allan not really caring, he let go of Robin who was laughing so hard he was nearly rolling about on the floor "So what are you guys up to?"

"Well I was think a game of footie" said Robin once he stop laughing "I mean they're five of us so that's two against two with a goalie"

Much spoke up "I'm the goalie" he said before anyone else.

"Fine with me" said Allan "You let them all in anyway"

"Do not" said Much with a frown

"Do too"

"Hey girls, girls play nicely" said Robin "I'm get my football, coming?"

John shrugged "We've got nothing better to do"

The outlaws walked in the direction of Robins' house. Just chatting away and making fun of each other. "That's were Gibson just moved too" said Robin pointing to one of the more large upper class houses. "He thinks he so much cooler now his daddy got a better job..."
"You fancy his sister didn't you" said Allan waggling his eyebrows.

"No" said Robin at once "Marian is the only one for me, we were made for each other... she just can't see it let" Robin got to his fort door and got out his key and open it. "Come in, dad working" And they all went into Robin house. "And don't nick anything again Allan"

"For the last time it wasn't me" said Allan faking an innocent look "Just because I'll be caught shop lifting once before doesn't make me a thief"

"You been caught three time" said Will "plus all the stuff at school too..."

Allan rolled his eyes "You can't talk William you and little Luke got in a hell of a lot of trouble for stealing as well"

Will looked slightly angry "That's different and you know that" the only time Will and his brother stole was when a time when their dad was in a deep depression and forgot to buy food. Will was trying to care his his dad and brother, it ended up with Will and Luke being arrested by Robin's father. They got away with it due to their age and circumstances, but I wasn't something Will or Luke wanted to do again seeing as it got their dad in more trouble than them.

"What's up with you two today?" asked Robin not really expecting an answer "Look lets just have a nice game of football before you kill each other"

The teams were Robin and John vs Will and Allan. The was a long hard game and the score was three - two. Robin was quite happy about his win. Allan complained that John was a giant and it was nearly impossible to get the ball around him cos he was worried John would fall over and landed on top of him turning him into a pancake. So they change the teams to Robin and Will vs Allan and John. Robin and Will won five - three. So they swap the team one last time to Robin and Allan vs Will and John and drew two - two.

"I think we should take part in the inter-school football tournament this year" said Robin as they all lay on the grass "All of us on a team we'll be unstoppable"

"Count me out" said Much "My asthma might play up"

"You were fine just now" pointed out Allan

"Well... it's just a little game in the park between friends" said Much defensively "At school it will be against the other groups.. .including the black knight... that's the real reason behind it isn't Robin...You are asking for trouble..."

"Look" said Robin sitting up "We already know we're better than them... we just going to show the whole school that . In a way that looks great in our CVs and doesn't get us in any trouble with the teachers" Robin looked at his gang "What do you say?"

"I'm in" said Allan at once with a sly smile

"Me too" said John

Will paused "My dad is working for sheriffs father at that factory, if he loses that job..."

"We know" said Robin quickly "We'll been playing by the rules. Any way sheriff's old man know your dad is the best worker he has. If he fired him he would lose lot on money... so are you in"

Will nodded "Alright then"

They all looked at Much "Look I'm not playing any football... but I'll help in anyway I can"

"Half time snacks" smiled Allan

The day was drawing to a close. The outlaws bid each other good bye. Robin and Much went one way and Will, Allan and John headed the other way. Each one of them dreaded the first day back at school. But none of them could wait to see that it would bring.

Done and dusted mostly coped from a old notebook I found :D hope you enjoyed
