Ok as usual I apologize for the late update. School and life got in the way.

Disclaimer: I do not own the series of Robin Hood or any of the actors.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIE!! ( a little late I know but anyway!!) So in celebration of Sophie's birthday I'm making an extra long chapter well don't know if its that long and one with a RobinxMarian fluff in it.

Chapter 6

Sir Edward led the three girls into the dining room of the house. As polite as he possible could he told them in a quiet voice to please sit down. Marian quickly sat down followed by Sophie who seated herself next to her and Mari next to Sophie. Then there was a long silence until Edward spoke again.

"Tell me your names" He demanded.

"Sophie" Sophie automatically answered while Mari said "Carrot" which earned her a strange look from Edward.

"She means to say her name is Mari" Sophie translated

"Then why didn't she say so?"

"If you're stupid you can't really help it" Sophie explained.

"Ouch, Sophie that hurt!" Mari said offended.

Edward made an "ahh I see" nod.

"I want an explanation and I want one now!" Sir Edward said in his strictest voice.

"Father-!" Marian tried to cut in but was quickly silenced by her father who held out his hand to her.

Sophie and Mari quickly glanced at each other.

"Well.." Mari started

"The thing is.." Sophie continued

"For you to understand our situation you have to have an open mind to everything we tell you" Mari finished.

Sir Edward looked at them with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Very well" he finally said and waited for them to continue.

So the girls started telling their story how they knew about him and how they got here, what their mission where and where they were from. The last Sir Edward had a very hard time believing who knows if he even did.

In the end Sir Edward agreed to help them in their mission. However he completely refused to believe that they were from the future. Even after Mari showed him her cell phone that wouldn't even work.

Later that day

Marian stormed in to the guestroom that Sophie and Mari was sharing.

The guestroom had two beds a table with two chairs and a window with a view of the forest. All the curtains and sheets were white, very simple yet comfortable. Oh, and did I mention the huge closet?

That now was filled with loads of Marian's old clothes including, dresses, pants, shirts, shoes etc.

"Alright girls get up!" Marian exclaimed happily and pulled Sophie to her feet

"What's up?" Mari asked Marian who gave her a confused look, Sophie sighed and translated and said

"What is the hurry?"

"Nothing, I just think its time to start practice" Marian said

"Practice?" The two girls repeated at the same time

"Yes, you are after all going to be protectors of Robin and his men and in doing so, you need to know how to fight and survive" Marian explained

"Ok, but how?" Sophie asked

"Well, I'm going to teach you"

15 Minutes Later

"NO! MARI! Hold you hand like his, no don't aim the bow at me!! No don't fire!" Marian shouted as she nearly ducked the arrow that was shot at her by Mari.

Mari made a grimace and muttered a sorry for the past 10 minutes Marian had been giving instructions how to use a bow to the poor clueless Mari who had absolutely no experience in handling a bow and arrow.

Sophie however had already given up on the bow (after nearly killing Marian and destroying Sir Edward's garden) instead she was now throwing knifes into a three and actually hitting the three perfectly.

Mari was stubborn enough to keep on trying to master the bow.

They had only been there for a short while, but already Marian was wondering if they were going to get somewhere. Her thoughts were interrupted by her father calling her name.

"Marian! Robin is here!"

At this the tree girls stopped and turned around.

Mari gave Sophie a worried look which Sophie passed on to Marian and Marian responded calmly.

"Don't worry I'll talk to him. Meanwhile you should wait inside the house and you should change your clothes Mari" she added, to Mari who were still wearing her 20th century clothing.

Mari looked down at her jeans and grey sweater.

"Yes, maybe" she mumbled. As Sophie started leaving Mari shot one last arrow towards the practice board painted on the tree, the arrow hit perfectly.

Meanwhile in the hall of Knighton hall stood no one else then Robin Hood waiting. As he did he was walking back and forth the room. He still had a hard time believing what had happened earlier that morning. Marian was never going to forgive him now. He let our a small puppy like sound (however that sounds) and tapped his foot nervously on the ground. Where was Marian?

Sophie and Mari quickly snuck in the back way and to their room. There Mari started digging in the closet, rather quickly she found a black pair of pants (same kind Marian has when she's the night watch man) luckily, because no way in hell was she wearing a dress. She also found a simple long sleeved dark red shirt. Then she quickly found the pair of boots Marian had given her she put them on instead of her sneakers. She found a black vest to put on the shirt. She continued to dig through the closet

"Mari what are you looking for?" Sophie asked from her bed on the left side of the room.

"Well I figured if we are going to be the Red Hawks we need costumes to hide our identities and to make us recognizable"

"What? You mean like superheroes?" Sophie said and stood up

"Yes, like regular superheroes! Here" Mari handed Sophie a black shirt with long sleeves and a dark red vest. "This will match with my outfit, I have the black vest and you wear the red one so people will know how to tell us apart"

"Right" Sophie muttered she also found a pair of black paints in the closet and another pair of boots , she quickly changed out of her dress.

The two girls laid down on their separate bed and stared into the ceiling. After awhile Mari asked

"Do you think we'll make it?" turning to look at Sophie who seemed to ponder the thought

"I don't see a reason why we should not" Sophie said quietly "but we have to think of a way to get home as well"

"Right" Mari said looking up at the ceiling again "Do you think anyone is missing us back home?"

"Hopefully they won't be too worried but it might be that time is counted different here."

"True" Mari mumbled "But how are we even going to get back I mean the way we got here was through that stupid book.." she trailed off and sat up quickly.

"What?" Sophie asked and quirked an eyebrow at her friend.

"That's it! The book is the key to getting back home we just need to find it!"

"One book! That will be easy in the whole of England or who know it might even be on the other side of the world"

"We'll find it" Mari muttered lying back down again.

Just then she realized how tired she was. Before she knew it her eyes were shut and she drifted off into a light sleep. Sophie looked at her friend and followed her example soon enough she was also asleep.
