"Man, I hate the cold, why is it always cold?" Mira moaned rubbing her arms to help herself keep warm,

"I ain't bein' funny but this is summer, I'd hate to see you in the winter," Allan laughed draping his cloak over her shoulders,

"Aww, thanks, hmmm, this is toasty warm…mmmm…toast," Mira closed her eyes day dreaming,

"Well, you've been here three days, it won't get any better than this," Allan smiled,

"I think it's great, I've always been the outdoor kind of type," Mira said through chattering teeth,

"Great…gang, guards" Robin shouted as about seven guards came onto the path in front of them, dressed in Gisbourne's color's,

"Oh no…Marian, quick but this on and put the hood up…that way Gisbourne won't know it's you," Robin said as he tossed her his cloak which she put on and got the hood up, a thought suddenly got her, she pulled out the black mask that covers just the eyes from the market yesterday and put her shawl over her mouth, so all you could see was her eyes through the mask, thank god she chose a black trouser outfit today,

"Gang…you know what to do," Robin yelled as the first of the guards attacked,

Marian must've took on the newbie, because he was as crap as hell, she was just glad when her mom made her take defense classes,

"Now who's the stupid one," Mira laughed as she knocked out her guard, in a matter of minutes, there were only three guards left and Gisbourne,

"Gisbourne's mine, everyone else take the guards," Robin commanded as himself and Gisbourne began to circle each other,

"Always a pleasure to watch you crumple to the ground Locksley," Gisbourne sneered,

"Funny that, every time we do meet, it is always you who is on the ground, as I recall," Robin grinned as he heard Gisbourne growl,

Meanwhile, Will, Little John and Allan were busy taking on the guards that Gisbourne had brought out, everyone was too busy fighting or watching to notice one of the guards recover consciousness as bring out a small dagger from his belt and go for the nearest person to them…Marian,

"Oh, look at that Locksley, looks like your men aren't all that," Gisbourne smirked as the guard held the dagger to Marian's neck,

"What makes you think that Gisbourne?" Robin smirked as he watched Marian flip the guard over her shoulder and render him unconscious, "It seems to me, Gisbourne that your men are not all that," Robin mimicked Gisbourne's earlier statement.

"You know, I'm surprised you haven't tried it on with the latest arrival in Nottingham, have you ever heard of her?" Guy sneered; Robin knew exactly who he was on about,

"Her name is Marian, quite the dainty little thing; I have witness to believe you two are acquaintances, but will over look this as I plan to make her mine…in every way…Oh I know you hold a torch for her. But like everything else of yours…I will take her and I will take her to your bed and take her as my own…have you seen her Locksley?" Guy smirked as Robin's temple began to show,

"Yes as a matter of fact I have, and what makes you so sure, she would go for someone like you?" Robin smiled, he noticed as Marian clenched her fists, obviously she did not like being talked about like this…Robin took a mental note,

"Oh yes, her rump little bottom. Her perky breasts…all mine…she is putty in my hands and will be in your bed too," Guy sneered,

He leant down over his horse just in time to miss a dagger flying right for his head, his face when white as it landed right by the left side of his head in a tree, he looked in the direction that the dagger came flying from, only to hear the gang stifle laughs as he saw the 'man' in black who had a dagger missing from her side,

"You might want to keep your servants in order Locksley," Guy growled,

"What makes you think, he is one of mine?" Robin grinned, he was enjoying this, and he could clearly as that Marian was not putty in his hands,

"Everything you have will be mine," Gisbourne sneered as he got on his horse and rode off away from the gang,

"That was so cool," Mira smiled as she came wondering from behind a tree,

"That little pervert, I'll show him whose putty in his bloody hands," Marian raged as she ripped off her mask,

"That a girl…you know what this calls for?" Mira grinned rubbing her hands together,

"No Mira, you know what you're like in that state!" Saffiyah warned with a smile on her face,

"Tell me Allan…what is the ale like in 1192?" Mira smirked turning her attention to Allan,

"I'm not going to tell you, I'm going to show you…tonight at the Trip to Jerusalem," Allan grinned back,

"I don't wanna go all the way there to have a drink of ale, I'd rather be sober tonight thanks," Mira scoffed,

"I ain't bein' funny…what are you on…It's an inn, just outside of Nottingham," Allan laughed, looking at her weirdly,

"I knew that," Mira said nonchalantly,

"Of course you did," Dean scoffed as Robin led the way back to camp,

"I did…whatever," Mira mumbled as Allan continued to laugh at her,

"I don't know what you're laughing at…I could drink you from under the table," Mira snapped,

"Ok, whatever it is you women drink from," Allan smirked as he carried on walking, Mira stopping in disbelief,

"You are…a jerk!" Mira yelled as she ran to catch up with him and the rest of the group.

"Yea and that's why you're wearing my cloak," Allan smirked as he pointed to it,

"I'll have you know, I don't have as much meat on my body as you and I get cold easily," Mira pointed out, trying to make Allan feel paranoid,

"What do you mean…I am not fat…it's muscle," Allan said, obviously her plan had worked,

"I know your type in the future…always into their looks…thinking all the girls want to gobble your goo," Mira said trying to explain it without saying the word,

"Gobble my goo; what the hell does that mean?" Allan asked, confused by the expression,

"It means…" Mira looked round, she didn't want to say it out loud, instead, she leaned on her tiptoes and whispered it into his ear, once she had finished telling him what it meant she looked up to see Allan with a bright red blush on his face,

"Oh…erm…well…" Allan stuttered,

"That's it my boy…let it all out," Mira sighed clapping him on the shoulder as she carried on walking,

"You handled those guards pretty well," Robin said turning to Marian,

"Thanks, you didn't do so bad yourself," Marian grinned as they locked eyes, a spark going through them both,

"I've had years of practice…well that's a lie more like…months," Robin smiled as he felt his hand brush hers,

"I'm just thankful my mom made me take defense classes," Marian laughed,

"Defense classes…what are those?" Robin asked as Marian and him started walking a little further away from the rest of the gang,

"In the future, there are nasty men, who feel it proper to force themselves on women and mug them, basically do all things imaginable and us girls have to keep out fighting skills up to scratch," Marian smiled, thinking fondly of 2008.

"Don't worry, we will find you a way back to your time," Robin said, he didn't want Marian to go and Marian didn't really want to go, but they both knew that Marian didn't belong in this time,

"Thank you…for doing all of this, for taking us in and making us part of the gang," Marian smiled as she leant up about to give him a kiss on the cheek, when Robin turned his head slightly causing their lips to connect instead, Robin teased Marian's lips open with his tongue, it both took them what seemed like forever to come to their senses as they broke apart, both blushing,

"Well, that was certainly unexpected," Robin laughed standing with one hand on the back of his head and the other on his hip in a shy manner,

"Yea, it was wasn't it…we…should get back to the gang," Marian said not breaking eye contact as she pointed over her shoulder.

"Yea, we should…come on," Robin grinned as he took her hand and led her back to camp, all the time maintaining contact, Marian still had Robin's cloak on as she pulled it round her body breathing in the scent of Robin,

What do you think then??

Shall I carry on??

R&R, I would like erm…five this time please,

Thanks,

Lauren
