"I don't understand why am I not trusted with a bow and arrow?" Mira complained as everyone looked at her in horror,
"That is why Mira," Marian said pointing to Much who was leaning across the log with an arrow imbedded in his butt, who had gone very pale and on the verge of passing out,
"That was not my fault, I got distracted!" Mira reasoned as Much let out a squeal as Saffiyah tried to take the arrow out,
"This is not going to be nice, but I need clean cloth," Saffiyah said as everyone went around to find cloth,
"I ain't bein' funny but…If you're like that with a bow and arrow, I'd hate to see where the staff would end up," Allan grinned searching for cloth.
"Har de har de har, very funny Allan," Mira said sarcastically,
"Right, I'm going to ask you to all to be quite, because this is going to hurt a lot…Much, drop ya kegs," Saffiyah ordered as Much looked on in confusment,
"What does that mean?" Much asked, looking at her,
"It means pull your trousers down, I've ripped around the arrow, so it should be ok to lift over," Saffiyah said as Much looked at her in horror and shock.
"You want me to pull my trousers down…in front of everyone?" Much asked slowly to see if he was mistaken in what he just heard,
"This could be entertaining…meaning embarrassing," Allan said as he looked on in amusement,
"Right then…everybody out, go and occupy yourselves outside of this camp, Will can you stay and help please?" Saffiyah asked turning bright red as everyone turned and raised their eyebrows as Will stayed where he was,
"To Nottingham," Robin grinned as he lead Marian with her bow and arrows, Dean with her sword, Mira with her sword and Allan with his sword and little John and his staff,
"What are we exactly doing here?" Marian whispered as she was standing right behind Robin,
"We are going to rob the sheriff, relieve him of his money," Robin grinned as he turned round, not calculating his distance properly as Marian's nose nearly bumped into his chest. She looked up at his face as he continued to stare down at her, when Marian tilted her head their lips were merely centimeters apart,
"I think we should go and rob the sheriff now," Robin mumbled not taking his eyes off Marian's lips,
"Yea, me too," Marian said biting her lip which tipped Robin over the edge, oh how he wanted to bring his lips crashing down on hers,
"Ok then…you have to do your part of the plan first," Robin grinned touching her arm slightly,
"Right, well here I go," Marian said, she didn't like her plan very much, especially since it involved a certain creep in leather,
Marian gave one last look over her shoulder at Robin as he gave her a wink; she couldn't help but smile at this gesture,
"Sir Guy…is that you?" Marian asked, faking politeness,
"Lady Marian, you look very nice today," Guy smiled as he looked at the red and brown dress she had acquired that had a red petticoat that was turned up at the cuffs, with a brown skirt that reached the floor, a little red hat balancing on the side of her head where the curls cascaded over her shoulders, making her the picture perfect of an Angel…in Robin's eyes and no doubt in Guy's eyes,
"Thank you, I've come for the fair that I heard was Nottingham, can you direct me in the way?" Marian asked smiling sweetly up at him,
"Of course Milady, let me accompany you for the day, being as I have nothing to do," Guy smiled sadistically down at her,
God, his hair is greasy…and is that…eyeliner?!, Marian thought to herself,
Marian noticed that Robin and the gang that had come were directly behind them, Robin caught her eye as he gave a smile and nod to tell her to keep going, little did he know what exactly was going on,
"That was be lovely Sir Guy," Marian smiled as Guy put the hand on the little of her back and walked her in the opposite direction, she looked back to see Robin looking at them with sad eyes, which he quickly looked away when she looked back.
Impossible, he doesn't like her like that, these are just friendly gestures, the winks, looks, everything he does is just to be friendly, Marian though as she shook her head,
"What is Marian, are you feeling unwell?" Guy asked noticing as she shook her head,
"No I am just a little tired that is all," Marian said smiling yet again up at him,
All afternoon went by before Marian could escape, by this time Marian would have gladly spent a day in the stocks then be in his company,
"Well, I must go back to the castle, I have enjoyed this afternoon very much," Guy said trying to be sincere,
"Yes, it was very entertaining," Marian said she was actually tired of his company at this point,
"I shall be on my way, I hope to see you again Marian," Guy asked hopefully,
"Yes, we shall see," Marian dismissed as Guy stepped closer,
"Fair well Marian," Guy said as he kissed her on the lips, she could've gagged right here and then, but decided against it,
"Oh that was gross," Mira whispered from where they were waiting for Marian in the bushes,
Robin could nothing but glare at the retreating form of Gisbourne, oh how he would like to get a sword and shove it right up his…
"Robin, earth to Robin," Mira said waving her hand in front of his face breaking his train of thought.
"What is it?" Robin asked, before he noticed Marian coming towards them,
"I ain't bein' funny but you're a natural at this," Allan grinned as he gave Marian a quick hug,
"Thanks, now can I please have something to drink to wash this putrid taste out of my mouth," Marian said sticking out her tongue in disgust,
"Here you go," Mira laughed handing her some water,
"That was the most disgusting thing I have ever exposed myself to," Marian complained as he drank the water trying to get the taste of Gisbourne out of her mouth,
"What was?" Robin spoke for the first time since she had gotten back,
"Kissing Gisbourne of course," Marian smiled at Robin, who grinned back,
"Well who can blame you," Robin grinned as they all made their way back to camp,
"Just to get things straight, what exactly did you get from all of this?" Marian asked, before she noticed the massive trunk that Allan and Little John were carrying, "Never mind"
"What is this money for exactly?" Mira asked as Allan gave her a dumbfounded look,
"We give it to the poor, in case you haven't noticed, with your empty head," Allan said looking at her like she had grown two heads,
"Hey...better an empty head then an empty bed," Mira stated raising her eyebrows as Marian laughed at this comment,
"Do you two ever stop?" Little John commented from the back,
"What do you mean?" Allan asked,
"All of this constant banter, do you ever stop?" Little John continued,
"No, 'fraid not mate," Allan grinned at Mira who gave him a little wink that sent his blushing,
Little John just grunted, not saying another word until they all got back to camp,
"How's your butt Much?" Mira grinned as she walked over to the kitchen,
"Hurts, you are just as bad as Allan, only you probably did it on accident where as he would not!" Much said shooting Allan a glance,
"What can I say…I got distracted," Mira shrugged as she left Much and Dean to carry on cooking,
"You're very good with your hands," Saffiyah said, realizing what she had just said, and blushing like mad.
"Thank you, I guess it just comes naturally when I have wood in my hands,
"Yea, like me and medicine, if I ever get back to my time, then I'm going to become a doctor," Saffiyah smiled, she loved talking about medicine, although she came to realize that she may never get back to her time,
"Don't worry, we'll find a way back for you sooner or later," Will said like he had read her mind,
"I hope so…I really hope so" Saffiyah sighed,
"Tell me what it's like to be a real Outlaw Much," Dean said from where they were in the kitchen,
"It's disgusting, I used to wash regularly and now, I wash once a month, and revolting, especially Allan," Much explained,
"Are you and Allan always like this?" Dean smiled, they were always fighting, almost like brothers, but she knew that it was Will and Allan, who were brother in arms,
"Allan, give it me back now!" Will demanded from the other side of the camp where Allan was wielding about Will's axe,
"You never let me play with your axe; I'm quite capable of using it," Allan protested waving it around his head like a mad man,
"Allan give it me now!" Will threatened,
"Okay, okay," Allan grinned handing it over, "Didn't know you were so protective,"
"Where is Marian?" Robin asked, looking around the camp,
"She said she was taking a walk," Saffiyah said as Robin left camp to find her,
"I ain't bein' funny, but I think Rob's fallen for her…hard," Allan laughed as they all watched him go,
"You think," Mira laughed, "Marian is quite taken too,"
Marian wondered through the forest, she loved having time to herself; it was the only time she had to think, especially with Mira and Allan continuously flirting with each other,
She still had that part of her that couldn't believe that she was actually with Robin Hood, she practically lives and breathes him, they never had a picture of him, but…bloody hell they don't know what they're missing,
"I can't believe I like Robin Hood," Marian laughed in a daze,
Marian didn't notice that she had come to a clearing, the same clearing where she first met that creep, she really hoped that he wasn't there today, she couldn't bear the thought of being anywhere near him,
She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw that it was only her, thank god, now she could relax without having her guard,
Marian can't believe she ever wanted to see what it was like to be an outlaw…it sucked, but on the bright side she got spend time with Robin and his god like body,
"Right, time to wash," Marian smiled as she stripped to her underwear and jumped into the lake,
Marian gasped, god this is cold, she thought to herself,
She loved swimming; it helped her relax a lot more than anything, and she wanted a wash…badly, it's a shame the boys didn't take note of this,
Too bad she was wearing her skimpiest underwear; it seemed like a good idea at the time, but now it just seemed stupid,
She heard a twig snap behind her as she spun round in the water, she quickly covered herself up as she sent a silent thanks to god for sending her to the gym so she was all nice and toned for moments like this,
"Robin…are you ok?" Marian asked, still in the water as her dress was right next to Robin's feet,
Robin couldn't believe the sight before him, she was…naked…well partially naked, but still the picture of beauty, he was so tipped over the edge now, he just couldn't tear his gaze away from her, he wanted her to be his, but knew that was impossible,
"Erm…yea…I…just came to see if you were okay," Robin stuttered no woman had ever had this affect on him before; he didn't know if this was a good or bad thing,
"Oh right, well I'm fine, just came for a little swim and relax," Marian said, thank god I am wearing a padded bra, this water was too cold to float still for too long,
"Mind if I join you?" Robin grinned composing himself,
"Sure, if you can swim," Marian smiled as she began swimming to the middle of the lake,
"I'm Robin Hood, I can do anything," Robin smirked as he took his top of to reveal an ugly scar, but a very sexy body,
"Wow, that is…wow," Marian breathed to herself as she traced his six Pac and pecks with her eyes,
"Ready or not," Robin yelled as he dived into the freezing lake,
Marian had no choice but to tear her gaze away when he did this, why did Robin have this effect on her, she hadn't even been here for two full days and already she was crushing over him,
It seemed like hours before Robin suggested that they get out and go back to camp as everyone would be worried,
"Yea, good idea…erm…close your eyes though," Marian said turning back to Robin who was keeping himself a float in the water,
"Why…what's the matter?" Robin asked confused,
"My dress is over there and I'm over here, please…just close your eyes," Marian pleaded with him,
"Okay," he said as he closed his eyes, or seemed to close his eyes as Marian waded out of the water and onto the bank to retrieve her dress,
Robin's jaw hit the floor once he saw her body, it was perfect he couldn't help but think about wrapping his arms around her naked waist and trailing kisses along her neck,
"Okay, come on the Casanova," Marian laughed as Robin shook his head and got himself dressed,
