After we had gotten in the console room The Doctor was doing some Gallifreyan maths on a blackboard up on the gallery, near his bookcase while Clara was down by the console, swiveling in his easy chair with a book of some sorts and I was leaning against the rails looking around the console room.
"Take a punt." the Doctor says not looking away from the blackboard.
"Right." Clara says to him still reading and swiveling in his chair.
"Your choice. Wherever, whenever, anywhere in time and space." the Doctor tells her still looking at his calculations that were on the blackboard.
"Well, there is something, someone that I've always wanted to meet. But I know what you'll say." Clara says setting her book down and getting up to walk around the console.
"Try me." the Doctor says not really pointing but gesturing to Clara to continue while he marks something else on the black board.
"You'll say he's made up, that there is no such thing." Clara says smiling and looking up as the Doctor turns around to look at her.
"Go on." he tells her.
"It's. It's Robin Hood." she tells him a giddy voice, and with adoration in her eyes making me giggle at her eagerness.
"Robin Hood." the Doctor breathes out leaning against the rail.
"Yeah." Clara says and goes up to the gallery. "I love that story. I've always loved it, ever since I was little." she says in a childish way and I slowly go up the stairs to follow her.
"Robin Hood, the heroic outlaw, who robs from the rich and gives to the poor." the Doctor say somewhat bluntly.
"Yeah." Clara says happily.
"He's made up. There's no such thing." He tells her bluntly and turns to his bookcase.
"Ah, you see?" Clara says raising her left arm because of how he bluntly said is and ruined her happiness.
"Old-fashioned heroes only exist in old-fashioned story books, Clara." the Doctor says taking a book out of the bookcase.
"And what about you?" Clara asks him with that look of aren't you a story.
"Me?" the Doctor looks at her funnily then closes the book and places it back while I scan what books he has.
"Yeah, you. You stop bad things happening every minute of every day. That sounds pretty heroic to me." Clara tells him and I move over to him and notice his posture changes slightly.
"Just passing the time. Hey, what about Mars?" the Doctor says as he licks something from a large metal spoon and tries to get Clara to change her mind running back to his chalkboard.
"That better not be my ice cream!?" I yell to him and try to see what was on the spoon but he moves it out of my view.
"What?!" Clara asks confused as to why he was changing his mind about her choice.
"The Ice Warrior Hives." he tells her and flips the chalkboard to the other side.
"You said it was my choice." Clara tells him with a hurt look on her face and I put my arm around her shoulder.
"Yea, let her choose, it's her choice, I wanna meet Robin Hood" I tell him and he ignores me but Clara smiles at me and raises her eyebrow at my eagerness.
"Or the Tumescent Arrows of the Half-Light. Those girls can hold their drink." The Doctor tells her pointing his now clean spoon at her.
"Doctor." Clara tells him in her warning voice that she is not happy.
"And fracture fifteen different levels of reality simultaneously. I think I've got a Polaroid somewhere." the Doctor says and places his spoon in his pocket of his jacket and goes down the steps still trying to change Clara's mind about going to see Robin Hood.
"Doctor! My choice. Robin Hood. Show me." Clara says and we go down a few steps and he stops.
"Very well." he tells her and goes to put the coordinates in as Clara smiles and moves quick around to the console next to him as I smile and shake my head at her eagerness and go to stand on the other side of the Doctor.
"Earth. England. Sherwood Forest. 1190AD. Ish. But you'll only be disappointed." the Doctor says with his 'I know everything' voice even though I think he will be wrong.
The Tardis then started to make it's sound as we took off.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Before I can make it out the door to follow the Doctor I am grabbed by Clara and pulled away.
"Wait, Clara, the door…it's that way" I say trying to get her to go out.
"Nope, we need outfits, and I am not letting you not put on something of this time period, no shorts, jeans, t-shirts, tank tops or anything that the Doctor is wearing, got it" she tells me sternly and I nod.
"Yup, got it" I tell her wide eyes as she pulls me into the wardrobe.
There was a whole section of clothes form this time period, Clara chose a red medieval-style dress, with long cut-away sleeves and a thin girdle around her hips. There is also a silver rope across her forehead that stays in place as if glued there.
I on the other hand picked something very similar though mine was blue where Clara's were red. Clara did her own make-up and hair and when I went to leave she blocked my path and pointed to the chair making my eyes go wide but with her look in her eyes I obediently went over and sat.
When she started to try and put make-up on me I started whining "But Clara, I don't want make-up, it's not something I like to wear, plus it takes forever to get off, and a waste of time" I whine as she forced me to stay seated and put some make-up and made me put my contacts in.
"No, you are doing this right, now just a bit more and…done. Wow, I think I did an amazing job if I do say so myself." she says and moves out of the way of the mirror and I gasp looking at my reflection.
"Wow, you, you did an amazing job Clara, I love it, thanks" I say and turn around only to find her gone and groan. "CLARA!" I yell and pick up my dress in my hands so I don't step on it and follow where she had to have gone which was outside.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
When I got to the door I heard a male voice ask bewildered by I guess how Clara came out "By all the saints. Are there any more in there?"
"Yea, just one more, me" I say smiling and closing the Tardis door then playfully glaring at Clara. "Thanks for leaving me to talk to myself" I tell her but she just has a look of star struck on her face as she taps on the Doctor's shoulder.
"Is that?" Clara asks the Doctor with a hopeful look on her face.
"No." The Doctor tells her unhappy that she is getting excited over him I guess making me roll my eyes at his jealousy.
"Oh, my God. Oh, my God! It is, isn't it? You found him. You actually found Robin Hood." Clara says as she goes very girlish and giggly making me giggle as well and look at Robin Hood.
"That is not Robin Hood." the Doctor says bitterly as if making a statement causing me to glare at him and stand beside Clara.
"Well then, who, sir, is about to relieve you of your magic box?" Robin says as he draws his long sword and points it at the Doctor and Clara grabs my hand and pulls me off to the side as the Doctor walks onto the bridge that Robin Hood was on.
"Nobody, sir. Not in this universe or the next." The Doctor says coldly because Robin threatened the Tardis.
"Well then, draw your sword and prove your words." Robin says and looks at the Doctor still pointing his sword at him.
"I have no sword. I don't need a sword." the Doctor says and opens his coat and turns to prove it making me roll my eyes and groan at how he has to make everything more dramatic than anyone else.
"Because I am the Doctor." he says and dons a gauntlet on his right hand. "And this is my spoon. En garde!" he says and pulls out the spoon from earlier making my eyes go wide and mouth open looking at him with disbelief that he is actully going to use the spoon as his weapon.
They go back and forth with hitting each other or well Robin's sword hitting the Doctor's spoon still on the bridge. The Doctor hits Robin on the back of the neck as he passes him.
"Ow!" Robin says after the Doctor hit him with the spoon.
"You're amazing." Clara says tot the Doctor as he grins up at her.
"I've had some experience. Richard the Lionheart. Cyrano de Bergerac. Errol Flynn. He had the most enormous…" the Doctor says and continues to fight Robin with his spoon but with more passion.
"Ahem." I say interrupting him looking at him at how childish he was sounding.
"Ego." the Doctor says and swings his mighty spoon at Robin.
"Takes one to know one" me and Clara say at the same time then burst out laughing
The Doctor slaps Robin's backside.
"Oh, you." Robin says to the Doctor looking at him with more determination to win and retaliates by cutting a button off the Doctor's coat making me flinch and decide to move closer to them only to realize that he messed with the Doctor's clothing, which is not something you want to do.
So the Doctor holds his arms wide open and Robin lunges with his sword. The Doctor deflects it and does a little turn so that he and Robin are back to back on the trunk. Then he sticks out his bottom and pushes Robin into the water and I run or as far running by picking up my dress and moving over to him and he turns to look at me with a victorious look and smiles down at me his posture puffing out.
I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss his cheek and move to his right side.
"Doctor!" she yells and goes next to him on his left as the Doctor polishes his spoon.
"Like I said. My box." the Doctor says and blows on the spoon.
"Doctor?" Clara asks she looks in the water. This makes both of us curious and we look in there as well to see that Robin is not visible.
He pops up behind the Doctor and pushes him into the water, but the Doctor being him, grabbed me somehow causing me to fall in as well as scream and splutter water as I glare at the Doctor and step out of it as Clara and Robin laugh.
The Doctor glares at Robin and walks out and tries to help me but I move away from him.
"No, you pulled me it, not letting you help," I mutter to him and move to be near Clara as she tries to fix my make-up.
"Well, it was good while it lasted" she tells me and wipes it off.
"See, this is why I don't wear make-up, something always happens, now I am cold and wet" I tell her and tried to wring out as much water as possible.
"it will dry, I'm sure it will" Clara tells me as we start to walk to follow Robin to his camp.
"Yea, you're probably right" I mutter and shiver then feel a coat wrap around me though slightly damp jacket on my shoulder and see the Doctor standing there. I pull it closer and mumble "Thanks"
He nods and goes to follow or keep his eye on Robin Hood making me roll my eyes at him.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
We finally get to a narrow place where Robin Hood and the outlaws live, shallow caves under the tree line.
"Let me introduce you to my men. This is Will Scarlet. He is a cheeky rogue with a good sword arm and a slippery tongue." Robin hood point to a man smiling and looking at me and Clara as we both smile with wide eyes.
"My ladies." Will says and bows but as he bows the Doctor pulls some of his hair out as he bows, and scans it with the sonic screwdriver making me glare at him for doing something obnoxious.
"Argh! What do you want with my hair?" Will says turning to the Doctor.
"Well, it's realistic, I'll give you that." the Doctor says shrugging.
"And this is Friar Tuck. Aptly named for the amount of grub he tucks into." Robin says trying to move on and making a slight joke at the end.
"You skinny blackguard." Friar Tuck says and the rest of the men laugh a lot. As he steps forward, he nearly falls because of the Doctor.
"What are you doing?" Tuck yells as he turns to the Doctor who stands up with one of his sandals.
"This isn't a real sandal." The Doctor says trying to find some kind of flaw that makes them not real causing me to close my eyes and take a deep breath, wanting to hit him for not believing that they are real.
"Yes, it is." Tuff says.
"Oh. Yes, it is." the Doctor says sniffing the shoe, well at least he didn't lick it, but still gross.
"This, er, is Alan-a-Dale. He's a master of the lute, whose music brightens up these dark days." Robin says moving on to the next man.
"Stranger you are welcome here, in Sherwood's bonny glade. Ow!" Alan starts singing with a smile on his face, but is interrupted by the Doctor making me glare at him as he had jabbed his arm with something.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry. Blood analysis. Oh. All those diseases. If you were real, you'd be dead in six months." the Doctor says as if they aren't real.
"I am real." Alan says as he hold his arm from where the Doctor jabbed his arm.
"Bye." the Doctor says and moves onto the next guy but gets one glance at him and decides against it.
"And this is John Little. Called Little John. He's my loyal companion in many an adventure." Robin starts to say and The guy steps aside and a small man jumps forward, to general merriment making both me and Clara jump slightly and all of them to laugh.
"Oh, I cannot believe this. You, you really are Robin Hood and his Merry Men." Clara says and gestures with both of her hand making me giggle slightly.
"Aye! That is an apt description. What say you, lads?" Robin says pointing at her then turning to his men as they all yell. "Aye!"
"Stop laughing. Why are you always doing that? Are you all simple or something? I'm going to need a sample." the Doctor says clearly unhappy and picks up a goblet and throws away the contents before walking up to Robin…
"Of what?" Robin asks clearly confused.
"Yea, and this is where we have a talk. Now" I say and turn him away as Clara turns him with me and we walk a little bit away from Robin and his men.
"What are you doing?" Clara asks him not amused by his antics as I am.
"Well, they're not holograms, that much is obvious. Could be a theme park from the future. Or we might be inside a miniscope, we've done that before" the Doctor says and gestures to me like i know what he is talking about.
"Oh, shut up." Clara scolds him.
"A miniscope. Yes, of course. Why not?" the Doctor says wide eyes and turns away from us making me groan.
"Your friend seems not quite of the real world." Robin tells us coming closer to our ears as if not wanting the Doctor to hear and looking at the Doctor wearily
"No. No, he's not really. Not most of the time. Dark days? " Clara asks him as the Doctor picks up a couple of things that were in a basket.
"My lady?" Robin asks her confused.
"You said that these were dark days. What did you mean?" I say trying to rephrase Clara's question.
"King Richard is away on crusade, my lady. His tyrant of a brother rules instead." Will says overhearing my question making us nod.
"And the Sheriff. Cos there is a sheriff, right?" Clara asks Robin looking at him expecting an answer but is answered by Alan.
"Aye. It is indeed this jackal of the princes who seeks to oppress us forever more." Alan tells her.
"Or six months in your case. " the Doctor says coming out of the cave and making me glare at him for being rude.
"It is a shame to dwell on murky thoughts when there is such beauty here." Robin says softly and turning both me and Clara's smiles into a slight frown.
"Why are you so sad?" Clara asks him with a slight frown.
"Why do you think me sad?" Robin asks trying to avoid the question.
"Because the Doctor's right, you laugh too much. And I can see it in your eyes" I tell him and look into his eyes with and understanding look in my own face.
"You know, I do not live this outlaw life by choice. You see before you Robert." Robin starts to say but Clara finishes with him with a giddy look. "Earl of Loxley."
"Yes." Clara says smiling.
"Yes." Robin says looking at her confused as to how she knows that.
"Sorry. Do go on. She tends to get a little over excited for certain things" I tell him and elbow Clara's side.
"I er, I had my lands and titles stripped from me. I dared to speak out against Prince John. But I lost the thing most dear to me." Robin tells us moving he head around as he spoke.
"What was she called?" I ask him and gently place my hand on his fore-arm.
"You two are so very quick. How does the Doctor stand it?" Robin says and turns briefly to look in another direction then back at us.
"Marian?" Clara asks or well more states because she know the answer.
"You know her?" Robin asks with a bewildered look on his face.
"Oh, yes. I have always known her. Harmony as well" Clara says smiling a big grin and making my eyes go wide for a second only to nod with her.
"It was Marian who told me that I must stand up and be counted. But, I was afraid. Now this green canopy is my palace and the rough ground my feather bed. Maybe one day I will return home, but until that day." Robin starts to say and then points his finger in a gustier that that is his rule that he will not break. "Until that day, it is beholden on me to be the man Marian wanted, to be a hero for those this tyrant sheriff slaughters." he says and fists his locket which I guess might have a picture in it of Marian.
"What time is it, Mister Hood?" the Doctor asks popping out from behind Robin causing me to jump not realizing he was there.
"Somewhat after noon." Robin says looking up in the sky to see where the sun was.
"No, no. Time of year? What season?" the Doctor says a slight frown on his face.
"Oh, Dame Autumn has draped her mellow skirts about the forest, Doctor. The time of mists and harvest approaches." Robin says understanding what the Doctor now wanted.
"Yeah, yeah. All very poetic. But it's very green hereabouts, though, isn't it? Like I said, very sunny." he says moving away from us to look at the trees.
"So? You're point, it's Autumn, I don't see anything wrong with that" I tell him not looking amused.
"Have you been to Nottingham?" he asks and I look at Clara and Robin with a questionable look.
"Climate change?" Clara suggests as she looks up noticing the trees.
"It's 1190." the Doctor says still looking up.
"You must excuse me." Robin says to both me and Clara as he gestures and walks toward his men. "The Sheriff has issued a proclamation and tomorrow there is to be a contest…" he says and turns back to us. "…to find the best archer in the land. And the bounty, it's an arrow made of pure gold." he says with a smirk on his lip.
"No! Don't, don't go. It's a trap." Clara yells at them with a panicked look in her eyes.
"Well, of course it is! But a contest to find the best archer in the land?" Robin says then turns to his men. "There is no contest." he says laughing along with his men.
"Right, that isn't even funny. That was bantering." the Doctor says turning around and pointing at them. "I am totally against bantering."
"How can you be so sure he is not the real thing?" I ask him placing my hands on my hips glaring at him as Clara nods wondering as well.
"Because he can't be." the Doctor says rolling his head to look at us.
"When did you stop believing in everything?" Clara says crossing her arms and shrugging her shoulder is disbelief.
"When did you two start believing in impossible heroes?" the Doctor says rudely and Clara looks at him more dejectedly and somewhat disappointed.
"Don't you know? In a way, it's rather sweet." she says and turns away from him as he takes a bite of an apple then scans it with his screwdriver he then rolls his eyes and goes to take another bite when I whack it out of his hand.
"Oi! it is so not sanitary and you already ate a bite, don't go biting it again, who knows what diseases there are in that apple." I tell him and then grab his sonic but he protests.
"No, I am holding onto this unless you promise to behave, this is not acceptable, you are being very rude, and ruining this for Clara, you let her chose, now stop being a child and start acting like the Doctor, got it" I tell him holding the Sonic but he is taller than me so he easily was able to grab it from me.
"Fine, but no promises" he tells me and I sigh as he walks off to follow the others who were headed to the contest.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"In the contest for the golden arrow, after ten rounds, the battle is betwixt our Lord Sheriff" the Herald yelled out and cheers from the crowd. "And the stranger known as Tom the Tinker."
Robin who was wearing a wide-brimmed leather hat gets a rousing reception as he raises his right hand and bows to the crowd.
"Take your places." the Herald yells and the crowd cheers as the Sherriff get up and walks down.
"Shall we make the contest a little more interesting, my Lord? The targets seem a little close. What say you? Another twenty paces?" Robin says smirking at the Sherriff.
"Why not?" the Sherriff says with a straight face and gestures for the people to move the target back and it is moved back.
The Sheriff then fires his black arrow into the middle of the bulls-eye. "Now, Tinker. Let us see thy true face." the Sherriff says to Robin.
Robin takes aim with his arrow and the white-fletched arrow splits the Sheriff's and both me and Clara jump up and down cheering for him.
"Ye Gads! He has split the arrow! Truly, he is the finest archer in all England. Come forward, Tinker. And claim your prize." the Herald yells holding the pillow with the golden arrow on it and Robin goes to take it but before he can an arrow with multicolored feathers splits his own causing Robin to look at it and the Herald to have an open mouth look on his face, and I notice it is the Doctor making me groan and put my head on Clara's shoulder.
"Why can't he just leave things the way they are supposed to go" I mumble into her shoulder as I feel her pat my shoulder.
"I'm the Doctor. My skills as a bowman speak for themselves. I claim my reward." the Doctor says stepping closer to the Herald and the Herald goes on his knees and the Doctor takes the prize.
"A mere bauble." the Doctor says inspecting the arrow then throws it away in the general direction of the Merry Men causing a few gasps to come from the crowd.
"I want something else." he says looking at the Sherriff with a clear look on his face.
"Name it." the Sherriff says looking back at the Doctor.
"Enlightenment." the Doctor says then an crack is heard and I turn to look to see Robin splits the Doctor's arrow. The crowd roars and the Doctor seemly sighed somewhat.
The Doctor's next arrow ricochets off a guard's armor to split Robin's. Robin retaliates by not even looking when he shoots his arrow.
"This is getting silly." the Doctor says and moves his bow away and pulls out his sonic screwdriver and aims it at the target, causing it explodes in a ball of flame.
"Fascinating. Seize him!" the Sherriff yells and I move to get closer to him as three knights draw their swords. Clara takes what looks like an anachronistic halberd from a rack and tries to swing it, though it was too heavy it seemed.
"What are you doing? Put that down." the Doctor scold her as he pulls me behind him trying to protect me.
"I'm fine. I take Year Seven for after school Tae Kwon Do." Clara tells him and I look at her with wide eyes.
"That is not going to help Clara, they have swords!" I yell and Robin then hops in front of the Doctor and pulls out his sword. "Don't worry, Doctor. I'll save you."
"I don't need saving." the Doctor says brushing him off.
"Your honor is safe." Robin says as he backs up looking at the knights draw nearer to us.
"I know." the Doctor yells at him clearly annoyed that he is ruining his plan.
"For I am Robin" Robin says and removes his hat and every one cheers. "Robin Hood!" he yells and severs one of the knights' arms. It falls to the ground and sparks a bit.
"Witchery! Witchery!" someone from the crowd yells.
The Doctor then runs and picks the arm up. "Robot." the Doctor says and looks up at the knight.
The knight's visor opens to reveal a metal face. A violet light shines in a cross pattern from between its eyebrows.
"Now we're getting somewhere" the Doctor breathes out and the robot knights fire energy bolts from their foreheads.
"He surrenders!" the Doctor yells running over to Robin.
"What?" Robin asks confused.
"Hai!" the Doctor yells as he uses his hand to knock Robin's sword out of his hand.
"You miserable cur. I had them on the run. Flee, lads, flee! Live to fight another day!" Robin yells to his men as they run for their lives.
"To the dungeons with all of them" the Sherriff tells the Robots as they get a hold of us and start leading us to the dungeons.
"What are you up to?" Clara asks with her hands up as we are being lead off.
"Quickest way to find out anybody's plans, get yourself captured" the Doctor says smiling slightly as I look at him.
"Yea, but really did you have to do it so drastically" I tell him as we move.
