"We aren't going to be going back anytime soon, Gisborne" Robin simplified. "We don't even know how we got here yet. My best guess is that we would need to find another time loop, as I think Mistress Charli called it earlier."

"Its just Charli." The girl blushed at being addressed so formally.

"Yeah, she ain't no lady," Tanya thumbed over to her and began to laugh, but was quickly cut off with a punch to her arm. "Hey! That hurt!" She punched her back. The men watched in utter bewilderment as the girls went back and forth several times.

"Enough!" Gisborne stepped forward quickly and separated the two girls.

"Hey, you'd better watch your back Gisborne! The Sheriff murdered you sorry arse in Prince Of Thieves. Although Alan Rickman was a damn sight more together than that dithering old fool over there!"

Several of the outlaws chuckled and Robin tried to hide a grin. "I love these girls from 2006. We could do with a few more people like you. You'd give the Sheriff a run for his money I reckon." Alan laughed.

"Dithering Old Fool?" The Sheriff straightened up, stepping out from behind Gisborne, carefully focusing his attention on his insulter, working very hard not to become distracted by the shiny environment he had found himself in.

Robin rolled his eyes and pushed him back. "Not now Vaysey. I'm intrigued to find out what this Prince of Thieves is that you speak of." He grinned charmingly. "Very nice name for myself, if I may say so?" Guy of Gisborne groaned again.

"It's much better than Robin Hood…who came up with that anyway?" Alan laughed.

The Sheriff glared. "I came up with that nickname, you miserable dunderhead!" The focus of the Sheriff's anger was quickly switched from Tanya back to the outlaw's he loved to hate.

"Right! Enough of this crap! We must get you guys out of here…Charli? Any suggestions?"

"Yeah, we just walk right out," she pulled a face.

"Don't get smart-"

"There shouldn't be any problem just walking out of here though," Robin interrupted promptly before the girls started again. He had never seen women act in such a strange way before. "We have weapons. I can shoot anyone who will create trouble."

"No…Robin. There'll be no trouble." Tanya shook her head disapprovingly. "You can't just shoot people."

"I was talking about Guy and Vaysey," he grinned wickedly. "Okay, let's go then."

Robin immediately made a start for the strange looking door, but got no further than that. "What in the name of the lord…" He tried several times to figure out how to use the weird looking handle but failed impressively.

Taking pity on the confused outlaw, Charli pushed herself of the sink on which she had been sat and walked over to him. She showed him how to push the handle down, while simultaneously pushing the door open. Robin wanted to have a go at doing it himself, and convinced Charli to close the door again.

The outlaw grabbed hold of the handle, pushed it down and pushed at the door with all its weight. Needless to say, he went flying through the doorframe rather energetically, as the door flew open. Unfortunately, the entrance to the bathroom was in small corridor, which meant the young man crashed head first into the wall as he barreled out of the room.

"See Charli" Tanya gestured. "This is why just walking out is not a good idea! Are you alright Robin?"

"Ugh" Robin groaned, as Much hurried over to help him up. When he was on his feet and dusted off, he stepped gingerly back inside the bathroom, making up his mind to leave all door opening in the foreseeable future to Vaysey and Guy.

"I'll get the door shall I?" Charli carefully opened the traumatized door and peered out. "Why am I checking to see if theres anyone coming?"

"You've been watching too much James Bond again" Tanya informed her. "Right, here's what we will do. Charli will go first, with Will, Alan, John and the Sheriff. Then I'll bring Robin, Much, Djaq and Guy."

"We are splitting up?" Charli pouted. "I don't know if I can find the way to my house on my own" she said sarcastically.

"Don't worry, its only to get out of Starbucks. Four outlaws are less noticeable than eight outlaws."

"Alright. Oh hey, Tanya?" Will, Alan and John had made their way over to her obediently at a nod from Robin, and now she reached over to grab Guy by the sleeve. "You owe me for that Mocha! Come on Guy!" The man was protesting, unwilling to leave the Sheriff in the company of Robin, or so he said.

The five of them walked out of the bathroom.

"Right, just walk straight for the door" Charli instructed. "Its that glass wall over there." She stopped talking as she walked straight into the back of Alan, dragging Guy straight into the back of her. "Ow, Alan! Will! Don't touch! Oh honestly, what are you? Five?"

Will had picked up a bag of coffee beans and promptly dropped them, causing the bag to burst and beans to scatter all over the floor. "You're lucky Tanya and I know people who work here! Go! The door!" She hissed, pushing them towards the glass door.

There was a crack as Guy walked straight into the door. "I didn't say walk through the door!" Charli almost cried. "Why did I agree to do this? Look, push that handle there" As John reached for the handle, she changed her mind, remembering Robin's attempt at door opening later. "Never mind, I'll.."

Little John pushed the door, and together all five tumbled out of the coffee house. "-open it" Charli sighed as she surveyed the heap of outlaws on the floor.

"Okay, you lot" Tanya brightly opened the door for her group of outlaws. As she followed them out into the coffee house, she noticed the coffee beans scattered on the floor and rolled her eyes. Either there had been an over-cafinated child in Starbucks, or Charli had failed to keep control over their guests. As often as the first option occurred, it was more likely to be the second.

"Where's the door Tanya?" Robin asked, trying to walk away from the Sheriff, who had taken to hiding behind him now that Gisborne had been forced to leave him. Much was looking hungrily at the food behind the counter, and Djaq was on her knees gathering up the coffee beans. Tanya rolled her eyes.

"There" she pointed.

"Theres nothing there." Robin observed.

"Its glass." Robin's eyes widened.

"That must have been expensive to install! Even we could only afford small panes of glass in the master bedroom. All the other windows were just holes." Tanya smiled as she hauled Djaq of the floor and drew Much away from the cakes.

"Times have changed. Money doesn't have the same value now. Things are cheaper. – No Much!"

The laughing faces of the outlaw's outside watched as their comrade walked smack into the glass wall. He glared at them through the window until he was hauled to his feet by Robin.

"If you weren't thinking of your stomach all the time Much!"

"Master, that's not fair. I don't think of my stomach all the time!"

"No, just every hour of sunlight" Djaq joined in the teasing.

"Get out the door" Tanya pushed Robin through the door she had opened, and one by one the outlaws followed.
