"Wow. Haha. When did you get that good Jonas?" I asked nervously, staring at the arrow between my feet.
"Who is this 'Jonas' you speak of?" Anjali asked.
"Okay guys. It was funny the first ten minutes. Now it's just freaking me out." I said.
"What are you doing in our forest?" Gordon yelled.
"Is this about me pressing the snooze so many times yesterday? Cause I said I was sorry. I didn't even get a chance to this morning because I woke up here." I said, sitting down on the ground.
"What is a 'snooze'?" Sam asked.
"Why are you doing this? Please stop." I said, on the verge of tears.
I don't do well with these kinds of things.
"Where are you from?" Jonas asked, a little more softly.
"London. Just like you." I said, walking down to them.
"I'm not being funny, but I'm from Rochdale." Joe said.
"No! That's where your character is from! Allan-A-Dale! But you are Joe Armstrong! So quit making me feel stupid!" I yelled at him.
"How do you know-?" he began.
"Because it's a TV show! You are Allan-A-Dale from Rochdale. You pretended to have a pregnant wife to spare you from the sheriffs men! Your brother Tom died sometime in season one. You became a traitor in season two but your back to being good but before you came back you were Gisbournes man!" I screamed, breaking down into tears.
Everything was silent so I looked up to see everyone staring at me.
"How…?" Jonas started.
"Well apparently I know everything about you guys. You're from Locksley, went to the Holy Land five years ago, and came back because of injuries. Still have nightmares about it. In love with Marion. Much is your faithful manservant. He has nightmares too." I said, somewhat calmer.
"So what do you know about Will?" Joe asked.
Might as well go with it. Can't get any crazier.
"His father is Dan Scarlett who died in season two. His brother is Luke is living in Scarborough. They are originally from Locksley. He tried to kill the Sheriff and would have succeeded if it hadn't been for Robin's quick thinking. Is in love with Djaq but there are only subtle hints of it in the show." I finished smirking at how I made Harry blush.
But he wouldn't have really blushed it had been real life.
I AM SO CONFUSED!
"Wow. She's good. Especially about the Djaq part. I thought I was the only one that saw that." Sam said.
"So how long is this prank going to go on? Cause I had plans after work and I have no idea where we are." I said, looking around.
"What is this prank of which you speak?" Jonas asked.
"Okay. If you guys really want to convince me, take me to Locksley and Nottingham. Let me see for myself." I said, smirking.
How are they supposed to pull that off?
"No biggy. Set builders had an all nighter." I said, staring at a perfect reenactment of the village of Locksley.
"You should probably get more practical clothes while we are here." Jonas said, looking me up and down.
I looked down at my clothes and saw what he meant. I had on a pair of blue jeans, a Star Wars t-shirt, and my old beat up Chucks. Needed to get into costume.
"Whatever. What costume am I wearing today?" I asked as I followed him through Locksley.
He ignored me as he led me into one of the small village houses.
"Thorton, this young lady needs some clothes. Do you have any extras?" Jonas asked an aging man, holding out a gold coin.
Damn clothes are cheap here.
"Why Master Robin, I think I might have something for you." the man called Thorton said as he walked to a back room.
"Why do you have your hood up?" I asked lazily as I flicked his head.
"So as not to be recognized." He said distractedly as he pushed my hand away.
"You do know that we're on set right now. No fan girls are going to get you." I said, leaning against the table and looking out the door.
"What is a set and who are these girls with fans that you speak of?" he asked.
"You're really starting to get on my nerves you know." I said.
He just looked at me as the man called Thorton came back out with some clothes.
"Here you are Robin. Clothes for the young lady. You can change in the back, my dear." he said, acknowledging me.
I glared at Jonas as I walked into the back room and shut the door. I pulled off my jeans and my t-shirt and pulled in the little dress. (imagine something) I looked at the shoes he gave me and decided to keep on my Chucks. Much easier to walk in.
I walked back out to where they were and saw Jonas looking at my outfit.
"Much better." He said, smiling.
"Yeah yeah. Whatever. Are we going to film anytime soon?" I asked as I straightened my dress.
"What is she saying?" Thorton asked Jonas.
"I don't know. She's been talking nonsense since she stumbled into our camp earlier this morning." Jonas replied.
"Dude. Guys. Right here." I said as I waved my arms in the air.
Jonas shook his head, grabbed my arm, and pulled me gently out of the little house.
"Now what are we doing?" I asked as we walked through the authentic looking Locksley.
"Meeting the others in Nottingham. There's a new strong room that we wanted to check. With any luck, Marion will know where it is." He said, glancing around the side of a building.
"Oh Lucy's here too!" I said excitedly.
If anyone would stop this nonsense it would definitely be Lucy.
"Why are you calling us by names that are not ours?!" Jonas asked suddenly.
"Would you be happier if I called you by your character names?" I asked as I crossed my arms.
"If that would be our real names, then yes!" he replied.
"No. I will not satisfy you to that extent. You will not drag me down your trickster path that easily!" I said, poking my finger in his chest.
"Why do you keep insisting that?! What have I got to do to prove that this is real?" he asked.
"You can't prove it because it's so incredibly impossible! It can't be true! This can't happen!" I shouted.
It was then that we noticed the rapid horses approaching. Jonas pulled me into the alleyway and covered my mouth with his hand. We watched in silence as we saw none other Richard Armitage approach on his high and mighty horse. Literally not figuratively. I knew he would stop this madness. I decided on my plan before I really thought it through. I bit Jonas' hand and as soon as he let go of me I made a run to the end of the alley. I almost made it too.
"Are you trying to die?!" Jonas whispered in a frantic voice.
"No. I'm simply trying to disprove this stupid fantasy of yours. I don't know what your problem is, Jonas, but I'm tired of this dumb prank of yours." I said through gritted teeth.
"You crazy girl! If you want to die, by all means go out there! But if you let me, I can for sure prove to you that this is real and yours is the fantasy!" he said harshly.
"Robin! Gisbourne! He's going to hang the man for stealing!" Harry said, running into the alley on the opposite end from Richard.
"When?" Jonas asked, stepping into the Robin Hood role big time.
Wow. They were going all out for this.
"Noon." Harry replied.
"Well, looks like we're going to the castle to have some fun with the Sherriff." Jonas smiled, a mischievous look in his eyes.
