GA – 4
Marian was cleaning around the camp the next morning. Everyone else apart from Much and Djaq were still asleep. Marian walked around the fire to where Robin was sleeping. And kicked him on the leg. He groaned and woke up frowning tiredly and looking for what had hit him.
Marian put on a mock face of sympathy. 'Oh I am sorry. Did I wake you.' She said and walked of towards Djaq. Much laughed at the little scene. Serves him right. He thought and continued making breakfast. Robin smiled and shook his head. Sore looser. He thought to himself and then sat up, rubbing his face.
Djaq and Marian had thought that what the boys had done was funny and a great pay back. But they weren't about to let the boys know that.
'So are we going to do something to get them back?' Asked Djaq smirking.
'Oh yes. And I have a great idea.' Marian smiled evilly.
'Me and Djaq are going to the market.' Marian turned to the boys. Her expression changing from happy to stern. 'I trust that all insects will be gone when we return?' It was more a statement than a question. Marian grabbed her cloak and she and Djaq headed off to market.
'I'm not bein' funny...but they're mad' Allan stated the believed obvious.
'No they're not.' Robin said, but he didn't quite believe his statement.
'Well I hate to say it but. I told you so.' Much stated from the kitchen waving his spoon around.
Robin sighed. 'You never listen to me. And I am always right.' Much carried on. Robin motioned his head into the forest and got up being quietly followed by Will and Allan. Much didn't notice their departure and kept on rambling to himself.
'So what's the plan?' Djaq asked excited as they walked through Nottingham gates with their hoods up.
'You'll see.' Marian smirked heading over to a stall. Djaq took a quick glimpse around the market making sure there was no sign of the Sheriff or Gisbourne. She then followed Marian over to the stalls. She looked at the things before her, and then at Marian who was scanning the table, looking for what she needed. Marian reached out and picked a glass bottle up.
'Now this is what we need.' She stated looking at Djaq and smiling. Djaq frowned not understanding what Marian was planning.
They returned to the camp, to find only Much sitting by the fire legs and arms crossed, and a displeased look on his face. This was good as it meant they could carry out their revenge, without having to keep an eye on the boys. Djaq was excited about their plan. Marian had explained on the way back to camp what they were going to do, and she loved the idea. The boys would be sorry now.
'Much where are the others?' Marian asked removing her cloak, and hiding the jar in her bed. Which had now been rid of worms.
'They' Much exclaimed. 'Just left, without even telling me! I was talking to them and then I just turn around and their gone.'
Marian felt sorry for Much. The others did seem to pick on him a lot, and Robin didn't show him the respect he deserved.
'Much you relax, me and Djaq will make dinner.' Marian said, sharing a smile with Djaq. Much shot them a thankful look and nodded, and went to rest in his bunk, his back facing them.
Marian turned to Djaq and they both got to work.
The boys had gone to Locksley to see what Gisbourne had been up to over the last few days. But soon it got dark and they began heading back to camp. Sighing at the lecture Much was going to give them when they got back. However, they got back to camp, to find that the girls had returned and Much was laying in bed.
'Good your home. Your dinners' ready/' Marian said as she saw them approach.
'Oh this is great. My shirts torn.' Allan wailed looking at the tear in his shirt.
'Well if you think that we are still mending your clothes after what you did to us yesterday. Then you are gravely wrong.' Marian stated stirring the beef stew she had made.
Will and Robin both looked and Allan and laughed. While Allan merely frowned.
'Sit down, for you dinner.' Djaq told them, going to wake Much up.
He yawned and sleepily went down to the fire, and sat a bit away from the others, still not haven forgiven them. Robin noticed this and winced. Perhaps he should have listened to Much. Marian filled a large bowl up for Djaq, herself and Much, and put some aside for him later knowing he would have more than one portion. She then pulled out the jar and pour its continents into the stew and stirred it in. She filled bowls for the others and Djaq handed them out. Marian carried hers and Much's over and sat down next to him. Djaq took her plate and sat down also. Marian and Djaq began eating but never taking their eyes of the boys. The boys took a few spoonfuls of their stew, and then began to choke, their eyes were going red and watery and it felt as though they're mouth and throat were on fire.
Much looked at them a frowned, while Marian and Djaq smiled.
'What's wrong with you lot.' Much asked confused. 'I don't think there is anything wring with the stew.' Much looked at them like they were stupid, as they were still choking and coughing. Much turned and noticed Marian and Djaq looking at him with their eyebrows raised.
'Ohh' He said as realisation hit him that Djaq and Marian had done something to the stew. He turned back to the boys smiling and laughing. 'Ha! Serves you right for ignoring me and running off.' HE stated triumphantly.
'What's wrong Robin. I thought you liked papricca.' Marian said faking surprise.
Robin looked at her across the fire. Oh she was going to pay.
After their exciting dinner , everyone climbed into bed. The boys still wiping their watery eyes.
Robin lay in his bunk and smiled. Marian was good. She had always been good at getting him back for things. But so was he. And tomorrow she will wish she had never started this game. He thought to himself as he lay awake in his bunk thinking of ways to get back at his beloved.
Marian also lay awake in her bunk. Robin and I used to do this as kids. We would always play tricks on each other, and try to up the other. He wouldn't let this lye. She knew that. He would think of some way to get payback on her. And she was ready. She would probably fall for it, she always had. Robin was just so unpredictable at times.. But she would have another plan up her sleeve. Ready to get pay back for whatever idea he came up with.
