"ARGH!" Alan screamed as the train jolted to the side. "Charli I hate you! Ahhhh!"

"Oh shush." Charli grinned before hiccupping again. "Oh bugger. Robin I hate you!" She shouted over the noise of the ride.

"What?"

"I hate you!"

"I hate stew too!" Robin shouted back. "Especially when Djaq cooks it – arrrrggghhhh!"

Unsure whether or not Robin's scream had been due to the sudden dip in the ride or the fact that he had been sat next to Djaq when he had shouted back to Charli, Tanya grinned to herself. Bringing the outlaws to Disney was the best idea the two girls had had yet. Even better was Charli's plan for dinner that evening…Tanya was brought out of her thoughts by nails digging into her arm.

"Much!" She pulled her arm away from the frightened man. "Ow!" No apology came her way from Much, who had gone a nasty shade of white. "Oh, God. Please don't be sick. Please don't!"

"Yeah, please don't Much," Charli shouted above the noise of the ride. "Because then I will have to hit you."

"Tanya, I need to get off now…I don't feel to well at all..." Much began slump in his seat, the g-force of the ride pushing his face back all the more.

"You can't get off, so grit your teeth and keep your mouth shut." Tanya hissed as the ride picked up speed again. Behind her, Djaq let out a semi cautious excited yell and Alan simple screamed in terror. Much went paler, if that were possible.

"I REALLY want to get off!"

"Suck it up, much!" Robin called from in front, clearly enjoying the kick he was getting.

"I'd rather not!" Much looked horrified and even more ill at the prospect.

The ride continued it's journey around the mountain, twisting in and out at speeds the outlaws had never dreamt off, when the carriage finally came to a stop, the group looking more than a little windswept as they began to exit. Much dashed past them all, trying desperately to get as far away as possible.

"Shit, I think he's gonna be sick." Charli went after him.

Her words were confirmed when the sound of retching reached their ears, followed closely by "That's so not attractive," from Charli.

Tanya rolled her eyes. "Subtle, my friend. Much, are you okay?"

Now it was Robin's turn to roll his eyes. "Subtle Tanya. He was just sick. He's not okay."

Tanya stopped in her tracks and glared at the man. "Excuse me? Did you just try and make a funny?"

"I'm being dead serious."

"Okay then," Tanya placed her hands on her hips. Are you getting MAD at me?"

"Do I win either way?" He mimicked her position, placing his hands on his hips too.

"No."

The rest of the group shook their heads and made their way over to Much and Charli, leaving Tanya and Robin to their own little tiff. Much had more colour in his face, and Charli was looking politely disgusted and democratically sympathetic as he moaned about the ride. Alan danced around waving his arms. "That was so much fun! Can we do it again?"

Charli glared at him. "Alan! Another time please," she motioned over to Much. "And no, we can go on something else now."

"Maybe something a little slower this time?" Little John suggested, feeling slightly sick himself.

"The monorail." Tanya called as she joined them, a dejected Robin at her side

"The monorail?" Charli raised an eyebrow. "To where, exactly?"

"Back over to Fantasyland land..." she shrugged. "There are more kiddy rides over the for the likes of Much and John."

"Kiddy rides?" Charli looked dubious. "You want to take John on a kiddy ride? You remember we had trouble convincing the Thunder Mountain operator that Djaq was tall enough to go on it... well try convincing someone that John is small enough to go on a kiddies ride."

"It's okay, I'm sure Alan can talk his way on by coming up with some crap story about John having a rare growing disorder making him look thirty years older than he actually is." Tanya grinned.

"I actually knew a man like that once," Alan piped up.

"No you didn't," Robin cut in. "Let's go."

"Where?" Much asked weakly.

"Its a kind of train." Charli explained as they ushered the outlaws towards one of the monorail stations. "Come on."

"I don't want to go on Dumbo." Tanya complained, glaring up at the plastic flying elephants. Much pouted. "Okay, you go on. Charli, you can't. You're banned from kids rides."

"Says who?" Charli retorted.

"Me." Tanya took hold of Robin's hand, linking her fingers with his as Charli stuck her tongue out at her friend. "The rest of you guys go ahead though."

Much grinned and took off at a run to join the queue. Djaq and Alan followed at a more sedate pace, John walking close behind them, eyeing the height of the elephants carefully.

"You not going?" Charli asked Robin slyly.

The man simply glared, and slipped an arm round Tanya, pulling her close. "We're going to go for a walk," he said. "See you in...How long?"

"Quarter of an hour," Tanya rolled her eyes as Robin pulled her off. "I am quite capable of walking on my own Locksley," she snapped, before the two disappeared into the crowd.

"Its just me and you." Will whispered in her ear, his arms slipping round her waist.

"Don't you want to go on the purple plastic Elephants?" Charli grinned.

"They don't exactly look safe…" Will pointed out. "Besides, anything that Much finds remotely appealing, I am going to stay away from."

Charli laughed. "I hear you – Will!"

The outlaw had dropped his head and begun to kiss her neck. While Charli didn't exactly mind, they were in Disney Land. There were kids around. And so, reluctantly, the ever-vigilant Charli pulled away. But then took hold of Will's hand and pulled him a little way away, behind the small wooden shack used to house the ride operator.

Pulling him close, she pressed her lips against his, feeling him respond to her straight away, as he slipped his tongue into her mouth and wrapped his arms around her waist. She moaned, sliding her hands up to tangle her fingers in his hair, crushing her lips to his.

"Charli?"

"What?" She whispered reluctantly as he pulled away from her.

"I…" He sighed, kissing her tenderly.

"What Will?" Charli smiled, resting her forehead against his with a sigh.

"I think I love you. I know its only been a few days, but…"

Charli's fingers touching his lips, only moments before her lips were against his again, caused him to lapse into silence. When she pulled away, they were both grinning like idiots. "I love you Will." She whispered. "I don't care how long it's been, I only care how long we have left."

"A lifetime." He whispered back, kissing her again.

"You have to go back." Charli responded to his kiss, but pulled away to answer seriously.

Will shook his head. "I'll stay."

"No Will. What about you're family, your life there? You have your life and I have mine, and it wouldn't be fair on either of us to give it all up." Charli looked desperately up at him. "But why waste a perfect day talking about this now? We can talk about it when we leave Paris," and with that, she cupped a hand round his neck and lowered his head to hers, pressing her lips to his.

"I like this Disney." Robin grinned as he strolled down the street hand in hand with Tanya. "It means I can spend time with just you."

"If you wanted to do that, why didn't you say so earlier? We could have pushed Much of the Eiffel Tower and kicked the others into the Seine." Tanya laughed. Robin grinned back.

"Believe me, it's impossible to get rid of Much. I've been trying to shake the man off for years and have been nothing but unsuccessful!"

"Surely you don't mean that!" Tanya continued laughing.

"Oh yes." Robin looked serious. "I mean, he sings, he moans constantly, he never stops eating…you must have noticed?"

"He's your best friend!" Tanya's laughter died a little..."Surely-"

"Trust me...there's no living with him."

"You love him really." Tanya shook her head. "Otherwise, he wouldn't be in your company anymore, and vice versa."

"Trust me." Robin frowned. "Love and Much? I don't know why, but I do."

Tanya stopped laughing for a moment as they continued to stroll along hand in hand. "I think you'd be lost without him. As silly as he acts sometimes, and as 'childish' as he is, he's still here to knock some sense in to you and bring you down to earth from time to time."

"I just wish he would stop singing." Robin neither agreed nor denied her statement. "Is that so much to ask from him?" A grin formed on his face, "You know how I feel - Charli sings!"

Tanya groaned. "I agree with you there."

Robin stopped walking, and turned to her for the moment. "Tanya...while we're alone…"

"Oh no!" She stepped back. "I swear-can you not go a minute without being so bloody randy?"

"No, it's not that..." Robin shook his head but smiled anyway. "I mean, while we're alone. I just wanted to apologise again for what I said yesterday on the tower...I know in time, I don't know how long...we may have to..." Robin began to struggle with his words. "We may have to...I may never see you...argh... what I mean is, while we're here, we should make the most of it and-"

"Robin...I understand. It's okay."

"You do?" He smiled, pulling back towards him, wrapping his arms around her and burying his head against her shoulder in a hug. Slightly surprised, Tanya relaxed into him, resting her cheek against his hair.

"Of course I understand...and you had some good points too...but let's not think about that now?" She pulled away from him to look up into his face. "Let's enjoy our time here in Paris?"

Robin answered her question by swooping down and crushing hips lips against her own. Tanya returned the kiss, not caring if there were others around watching them, even children. She forgot where she was for a moment as the butterflies fluttered around in her stomach and her heart raced wildly in her chest.

No man had ever made her feel the way she felt right then, all previous doubts of him fleeing her mind, thoughts of how others had treated and hurt her in the past disappearing. Robin's arms held her up, for if it weren't for him, she would have fallen to the floor due to the weakness in her legs.

She wound her arms around his neck, stroking the short hairs at his nape and he moaned slightly into her mouth. She shivered, her heart race increasing. "Tanya, lets go somewhere…" he whispered, pulling away to regain his breath. "Lets get out of the middle of the street."

"Oh…" Tanya looked around in a semi-daze. She had forgotten where they were, but before she could respond, Robin had taken her hands from around his neck, and pulled her away. The walked fast, restrained but fast, both on the look out for somewhere a little more private. Robin pulled her to the side; he had found an alcove between two shops. Grinning at him, she kissed him, gasping as he pressed her against the wall.

She ran her hands down his side, resting them on his hips as he slipped his tongue into her mouth, coaxing her lips to open. Not needing much encouragement, she pulled him closer as he slid one hand up into her hair, the other creeping up the underneath of her shirt. She whimpered; he was now completely supporting her, if it was not for the wall and him she would not be able to stand up.

As his hand reached her chest, there was a noise, and her pocket started to vibrate. Robin let out a yell, and shot away from her. "What's that?"

"My phone." Tanya grumbled, reaching out and pulling him back towards her. "Chicken." Opening the flip phone, she answered. "Hello? Much! What do you want? What do you mean Alan fell out of the elephant? Much, I know what you meant! Is he okay?" She rolled her eyes. "We will be right there". She slammed the phone shut.

"See what I mean about Much? Always interrupting." Robin grinned slyly and kissed her again.

"I'm beginning to," she grumbled, slipping her phone back into her pocket. "Robin! Alan just fell of a ride, you could be a little bit concerned."

"He's not hurt is he?"

"No but-"

"Well there you go then!"

"He's had to go to the clinic! Which is where we are going now! Come on!" She took his hand and together, they began to walk to the clinic in silence, both regretting the interruption and both with their minds on what they could have been doing.
