A/N: This is the first time I have done an authors note...I don't do them that often. I just wanted to say thankyou for all the reviews and for all your support! And, as many of you have told me about all the angsty fics (Im not surprised, after what just happened on the series), I thought I would post you this next chapter earlier than I planned I would. So enjoy!


"So where now?" Alan asked as the group walked out the shop.

"I said, because you probably didn't hear me over Ron and Hermione back there, that we are going to get some t-shirts for you." Charli had to raise her voice over the arguing of Robin and Tanya.

"Ron and Hermione?" Alan queried as they all made there way through the shopping arcade. The group stuck together as best they could, although Tanya and Robin were walking a little slower than the rest.

"Two people out of another movie," Charli explained.

"Witchcraft?" John asked

"Why yes it is, actually." John blanched and Charli swore under her breath. "Good Witchcraft though!"

"There's no such thing" John replied stubbornly.

"Fine! Your not watching Harry Potter then." Charli said. "The others can-" Charli was interrupted by a sudden gasp from Much. "Its James!"

"Excuse me?"

Much ran forward towards HMV. Charli shouted after him but quickly stopped when she saw exactly what he meant. Outside the music store stood a large life size picture of Daniel Craig. "It's James Bond!" He stood staring in awe at the plaque.

"Hey guys, come back!" The others had all run after Much when they had realised what he was looking at, and now stood in front of the window, jostling each other out of the way. "Hey Tanya - Slight problem" She called back to her friend, who was still arguing with Robin

"What's that?" She shoved Robin to one side when he stood blocking her way

For an answer, Charli pointed at the group of outlaws, now yelling excitedly, trying to get the picture to answer them, and expressing their concerns very loudly when the cut-out remained mute. They had started to attract stares from passers by.

Tanya's mouthed dropped open just watching the scene before her. She stepped around Robin and began to head over but found herself not getting very far when she was picked up and moved to one side so that Robin could get there first. "Why you little bugger!" She seethed. "You'll pay for that."

"Focus on the problem at hand!" Charli said, grabbing Robin's hood and holding him back so that Tanya could reach the outlaws without interruption. "Your men are a big problem."

"My men are not a big problem," Robin protested, his eyes looking longingly at Daniel Craig. "Let go of my hood woman!"

"You do realise that that is a picture?" Charli refused to do as he asked. "It is neither alive, nor does it talk."

The outlaw stopped trying to pull away and turned to face her. "That's not a picture! Its taller than you."

"It's a picture, trust me. Now, go control your men, we're moving on."

Robin's bottom lip protruded slightly but then he looked over at the men and realised that people were starting to stare at them. The last thing he wanted was for people to think they were mental; he'd worked so hard to deserve more than that

"Much," Robin called. "Its time to go." There was no answer from the men at all. Robin sighed and was about to call again, when Charli hissed in his ear, The Kat "If you don't get them to come now, no trip to Sherwood for you."

That made Robin move fast. He pushed passed Charli, grabbed Much and Alan and began to pull them away from the window. Tanya followed suit and took Djaq's arm. Charli grinned and did the same to Will. They moved off, the obsessed outlaws staring dolefully back at the cut out of their new hero.

"Remind me to use the Sherwood tactic again," Charli grinned evilly.

The group of eight headed towards Topman and entered cautiously, the last thing they wanted was to be collared into trying strange clothes on again so soon. Tanya led them straight to the rack of men's shirts. "Pick your favourite one" She smiled.

"Is that a good idea?" Charli said, but before Tanya could reply, the men had begun going through the rack. "Wow! Anyone would think they'd done this before!" Charli couldn't believe her eyes. "They're like women!"

"I guess we can leave them to it then. Why don't we get some stuff for ourselves?"

"Again, is that such a good idea?" Charli protested as Tanya dragged her away to look at the women's clothes.

"They'll be okay," she glanced back over her shoulder as the men grabbed several shirts and headed for the dressing rooms without assistance. "I need to buy hair dye today and extensions…not that I don't like my hair as it is but…" she glanced quickly at Robin.

"I never thought you would change your appearance for a guy." Charli smirked. "Oh no wait, you did that already. Ignore me." She picked up a light blue corset. "Ooh, I've been looking for one of these for ages! Ok, you go and get your hair stuff, I'll stay here and baby-sit the boys."

Tanya shot her a dirty look before heading out of the store, leaving the girl alone with the guys. Charli glanced around. There was no site of the outlaws in the shop. Perfect. She could try the corset on. As she headed over to the changing room there was a series of crashes and people started to scream. Charli shut her eyes.

Sure enough, she heard familiar voices coming from the direction of the crashes. "Much! Look what you've done!"

"Me? It was Alan!"

"No it wasn't," Alan said childishly. Charli slowly opened her eyes, and surveyed the carnage around her. There was only three stands left, well, standing. The rest were on the floor, clothes and accessories scattered everywhere. Shoppers stood in shock

The shop manager ran over, waving his hands about everywhere in hysterics. "What have you done?" He cried. The outlaws looked around in shock

"Oops," Much offered pathetically.

Charli fought the urge to run and hide, or at least chuck something at the heads of all six of them. Where was Tanya when she needed someone to get mad gracefully? Buying hair products to impress a man she already had wrapped round her little finger.

"Okay guys," Charli took a deep breath. "Let's help clean this mess up." The guys started to pick the scattered t-shirts up from the floor one bye one, but not without arguing amongst themselves about who had caused the damage.

"What happened here?" Tanya appeared behind them looking flustered.

"You left me!" Charli shrieked. "You left me, and they destroyed the shop!"

"But I…what? Don't blame me," Tanya shook her head and, throwing down her shopping bags, bent over to start picking up shirts too. "Can't shop in peace," she mumbled.

It took ages to clear up the shop, mainly because the outlaws kept making more as they argued over whose fault it was. Eventually, Charli snapped, and shouted at them to be quiet. When it was obvious that her temper was only going to keep them quiet for so long, Tanya made the Sherwood threat again. Each of the outlaws stumbled around quickly, tidying up as if their lives depended on it.

"Oh, I love this tactic!" Tanya grinned sadistically

"At least tell me you bought the hair stuff?" Charli muttered as she and Will picked up a stand full of jackets, which had miraculously stayed attached.

"Yeah," she fumbled through her bag and pulled out a box of L'Oreal Crème. "What do you think? Dark brown? It's more natural than my blonde," she then dug around inside to reveal a packet full of dark matching extensions and grinned. "Nice huh?"

Charli rolled her eyes. "Give me neon blue any day!"

"What was that?" Will asked, coming to stand next to her.

"It's a stupid colour she uses on her hair," Tanya laughed.

"Blue hair?" Will gaped

"I did it once," Charli protested. "And it looked kind of cool. But also kind of retarded."

Will looked at Robin and shrugged. "I have no idea what she just said, all I know is that she used to have blue hair."

After what seemed like an eternity, the clothes shop was back to its normal state, Charli was apologising profusely to the store manager and Tanya was ushering the over excited outlaws out of the shop.

"Coffee," Tanya gasped. "I need coffee, now."

"We need to get her some coffee, trust me," Charli looked worriedly at her

"She says it a lot, but this time she means it!" She took Tanya's arm. "The closest Coffee shop is..."she glanced around, "Costa. This way!"

"What's coffee?" Alan asked as they followed the two girls

"Its a drink." Tanya said. "With caffeine! Need caffeine!" She practically pulled Robin and Alan towards the coffee shop. Charli linked arms with Will and Much and left Djaq and Little John to follow close on their heels.

"Caffeine?" Much enquired.

"Its a drug. Gives you energy, makes you awake, that kind of thing."

"Oh right, I see," Much thought for a moment or two. "Do they have food there?"
