"Will." Charli sighed against the lips of the now shirtless man as he pulled away from her, both of them breathing heavily in an attempt to regain their breath. He slipped his arms around her waist, holding her too him, and gently rested his forehead on hers, their noses touching.

She traced a pattern on his back lightly with her nails and he shuddered against her, causing her to smile. Never before had she felt like he made her feel and even now, just being in his arms was causing her heart to race, hammering against her ribs.

Will himself was experiencing similar emotions, and as she placed a kiss to his collarbone, he moaned. "Could we get in trouble if they caught us?" He whispered.

"If who caught us?"

"The person in charge of the park?"

"Probably. But still…" she reached up and kissed him again. "Let's be rebels."

Will quickly nodded his head in agreement, his lips finding Charli's again for about the hundredth time in the space of ten minutes. Charli's head was reeling, thinking about the things they could get up to, but knowing that this wasn't the right time and place. She swore as her mobile phone cackled into life, the crazy frog ring tune blaring out from her back pocket.

Will cursed and moved away from her. "This had better be good," he growled! "If that is Much, he is dead."

Charli grinned as she answered the phone. "Hello? Tanya?" She listened. "Yeah, okay, we will be right there" Cutting her friend off, she replaced her phone and started laughing.

"What?"

"Alan fell off the plastic elephants."

"Plastic elephants? He...what? Is he dead, or will I have to do it for him?"

"He's fine. Just a bit bruised. But we have to go to the clinic. Come on," she took his hand.

"Do we have to? Can't we just wait for them here?" Will whined.

"No," Charli wished more than anything that they could. "And put your shirt on!"

Will glanced down in surprise, before picking up his shirt and shrugging it back on. "I am going to kill Alan."

"I second that." She took his hand and led him through the crowds of people. "We're gonna take him cleaned up and fixed at the clinic, and then beat him to a pulp."

"Why even get him fixed?" Will muttered as they drew close to the small building with a read cross, indication first aid. Charli pushed open the door to reveal a pissed off looking Tanya in the arms of an equally pissed of looking Robin, and a group of timid looking outlaws.

"Looks like someone else beat us to it."

"You can't seriously be as angry as I am right now," Tanya hissed to Charli.

"Oh, wanna bet?" Charli grinned sarcastically as she made her way over to a cut and bruised looking Alan who was sat on a small hospital bed. "What did you do this time?"

"It wasn't my fault!" Alan protested. "Much..."

Charli did not let him finish as she whirled round on Much. "Oh so it was you!"

Much held his hands up in defense as he began to back away. "I only shoved him a little..."

"You shouldn't have done that!" Djaq shook her head in disgust as she tried to comfort Alan.

"And you, Alan, should not have been stood up on the ride in the first place!" Robin growled.

"Ok fine." Charli frowned. "Much, I'm not feeding you until dinner time. Alan," she struggled to come up with a suitable punishment. "I don't want to hear another word for half an hour, okay"?

"Half an hour!" Alan's jaw hit the floor. "But-"

"Did you hear what she said?" Tanya warned him this time. "Not another word!"

Alan closed his mouth and sulked as a nurse cleaned up a small cut on his head. She had to, on several occasions, ask Djaq to step away, as she tried to help the man too, only succeeding in getting in the way.

"Right then." Charli said as she gathered the group together. "Where can we go next without getting in to too much bother?"

"There's a parade starting in half an hour." Charli glanced at her watch. "If we want to watch it, we should go now. Get seats on the side of the road, or a fence or something!"

Tanya nodded in agreement as the outlaws and girls made their way back out into the street. "What's a parade then?" John asked.

"A lot of people in a row, music, singing, dancing...its fun to watch," Charli said, gesturing with her hands. "You'll see." Together with Tanya, she led the outlaws to main street, and found a space large enough for them all to sit, relatively comfortably, under the shade of a tree. It was pleasantly warmer that day anyway, the grass dry enough for them to sit on.

With half an hour to wait, the Outlaws soon got bored. Alan, sulking and still not allowed to speak, had busied himself by shredding blades of grass and balancing them on Djaq's head. The woman had shaken them off at first, but at Alan's persistence, simply returned to her conversation with John and ignored him.

Finally, there was a commotion in the distance and people began to clap and cheer as music could be heard. "Oh, it's started!" Charli quickly rose to her feet and stood on her tiptoes to try and get a better view. She gasped as Will swung her on to his shoulders so she could see better, screaming a little as she tried to regain her balance. "I'll get you when I get down!"

Robin grinned at Tanya, who backed away. "Oh no Robin no...argh! Put me down, Locksley!" Tanya warned as Robin picked her up and tried to lift her higher. "Honestly! This is not good! I was fine down there-ARGH!" She screamed when Robin quickly swung her down, making her head spin. She clutched his arm.

"Seriously, put me down!"

"Maybe you should…" Charli suggested from where she was balanced on Will, her chin resting on his head. "You don't seem to quite have the right balance."

"I thought you were supposed to be good at sweeping women off their feet?" Tanya groaned as she tried to position herself on Robin's back a little straighter.

"Who told you that?" Alan suddenly piped up. "That's the biggest load of rubbish I ever heard-"

"Who said you could talk?" Tanya glared at the man.

"Well it has been half an hour," he defended as the first float containing a huge display of Beauty and the Beast Disney characters appeared before them.

"Oh no!" Charli groaned. "Quick Tanya, stuff a sock in his mouth, I enjoyed the quietness!"

Tanya grinned wickedly, keeping the thought in mind for future reference. Robin began to move forward to get a better view of the parade, carrying Tanya with him. "Thanks for the advice-ugh Robin! You really can put me down now."

Robin just grinned as he swung Tanya around to his front and settled down on the floor to watch the parade. "Hey, what's that?" He pointed to where Ariel was sat in a large shell waving.

"That's Ariel, the Little Mermaid," Tanya explained as she tried to get comfortable in Robin's lap. "And that there is Sebastian the crab and Flounder the fish."

Robin eyed her cautiously, as if she had lost the plot. "Come again?"

Charli laughed. "They are characters dear. In a film."

Robin glared up at her. "I know what characters are. Why do they have such strange names?"

"Oi! Don't call my boyfriend 'dear'!" Tanya poked Charli's leg. "Err - what?" Both Charli and Robin were staring at her. Robin began to speak. "I know why you're staring but…" she silenced him then looked at her friend. "Charli, what is it?"

'Boyfriend?' She mouthed, unable to say it. "Tanya, a word? Now!" She slid of Will's shoulders and pulled her friend from Robin, leading her away.

"Er - are you sure that's wise?"

"Is what wise?" Tanya tried to avoid the subject, but she knew exactly what she meant.

"You do have a boyfriend you know-"

"Who I plan on dumping as soon as I get home. Do you think I've been kissing Robin for FUN?"

"Oh god Tanya..."

"Don't panic...we can sort this out...technically it's not cheating...as long as we tell the guys when we get back..."

"Technically it's not cheating?" Charli's voice sounded strained. "Tanya, if that's not cheating then my names Frank and I'm a pineapple! Oh god. I swore to myself I would never cheat. Not since my dad..."

"I know, I know!" Tanya glanced over in the direction of Will and Robin. "As soon as we get back, we tell them we met somebody else, okay?"

"Met?" Charli laughed. "And snogged and..." She sighed. "Yeah, okay. But shit Tanya, why did I have to remember now? I was happy! And you know…it feels like its him I'm cheating on by being with Darren, not that I'm cheating on Darren by being with him."

"I am still happy," Tanya's eyes fell on Robin as he watched the passing floats with fascination. "Happier than I've been in a long time." She murmured. "And you should be too!"

"I can tell," Charli grinned. "Has he said it yet?"

"Said what?" Tanya eyed her carefully.

"Oh come on. Do I have to spell it out? You know I can't spell!"

"No!" Tanya's eyes widened. "And I wouldn't expect him to either, it's too soon...well for me anyway...I don't know about you-oh my!" Tanya stopped when she saw the look on Charli's face. "He told you and-YOU TOLD HIM TOO?"

"Don't look at me like that!" Charli said uncomfortably, unable to stop the small smile that appeared on her face. "You make me feel... well, he meant it!"

Tanya's eyes moved from Robin over to Will. "You know him a lot better than I do, but he seems like a pretty genuine guy so, I'm sure he did. It's not often men say those three words anyway."

"Do you think Robin will say it though?"

Tanya's face grew red. "Like I said...I wouldn't expect it. I like him, he likes me but...he's Robin Hood...I don't think it's meant to be."

"Of course it's meant to be." Charli said as a matter of fact. "I've seen you together... If it weren't meant to be then you wouldn't be this happy. Besides, if you really thought that, then there would be no way that you would have let him catch you. He would still be chasing."

"Yeah but..." Tanya tried to search for the right words to say but nothing came to mind. Charli was right. In her heart she felt that meeting Robin was not just by chance. He had been thrown into this time and place for a reason. Even though she told her friend that it was not meant to be, she desperately wanted to believe otherwise. "Okay...but I have NOT let him catch me...I still have him chasing, believe me."

"No you don't." Charli said lightly. "You have him wrapped round your little finger, but believe me, that man is not chasing. That man has." She grinned nudging her friend, glancing over to where their friends were staring at the parade, they attention on the lights, characters and music.

Tanya's hear t skipped a beat at Charli's use of words. That man 'has'. Taking a deep breath, she straightened out her clothes and her hair. "Okay, when we get home, we sort this out? Okay? Let's go."

"Yeah okay..." 'Oh god, oh god, oh god,' she thought as they approached the outlaws again.

"Relax," Tanya nudged Charli. "They probably didn't even notice we were gone."

"Yeah..." Her hopes of this were dashed when Robin pulled Tanya back down into his lap with a cry of "Where have you been? You missed the whole parade!"

"We were...talking about...womanly...stuff and..."

"Care to share?"

"No."

"Please?"

"I said no."

"But I would like to know what you were talking about. I am Robin of Locksley, Earl of Huntin-"

"ROBIN!" Little John approached the four of them from behind. "The woman wishes not to share with you. Respect that!"

"Yes John." Robin muttered. "I knew I should have tied you to a tree instead of to Roy. It would probably have saved me so much hassle."

John growled, having heard Robin's words. "You little-"

"John!" Djaq said as both she and Alan approached them, much bringing up the rear. "Do not start fighting now! We already have one man injured. Let's not add to the casualty list!" Much snorted at her words, his eyes glancing over in Alan's direction.

"Stop the fight before it starts." Charli snapped. "The parades over now anyway, lets go and find something else to do."

Will stared at her, looking a little concerned, and the other outlaws recoiled at her harsh tone. Tanya looked over at the rest of the guys and mouthed the words 'PMS' to them causing each of them to snigger.

"Saw that," she muttered, grinning despite herself. "What do you want to do now?"

"How about we-OH!" She began to laugh as she looked over Charli's shoulder in the distance. "Look...the Disney fox." She looked back at her friend, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "This could be fun."

'The Disney fox' Charli mouthed to herself, before a look of comprehension dawned on her. "Oh yeah!" She grinned. "Wait - what are you planning?"

"I'm gonna bring him over," Tanya was gone in a flash, returning moments later with the giant over-sized fox in tow. "Guys! I'd like you to meet my new friend!"

"I'm Robin Hood!" The fox said enthusiastically, holding out his hand for them to shake.

"No! I'm Robin Hood!" Robin stepped forward, eyeing the fox suspiciously.

Charli giggled as the two stared at each other, the other outlaws staring at the fox as if it was mad. "You're mad." Much told her. "The next thing you'll be saying is that Little John is a bear and Alan is a rooster." Charli abruptly stopped laughing and stared at him.

"Oh my...god..." Tanya began to hyperventilate. "We have to find them NOW!"

"Wait. Hold it. Stop." Alan grabbed hold of Tanya. Everyone turned to face him.

"I'm a rooster?"

"Yup," she tried to hide the huge grin that was forming on her face. "You are."

"Oh no! No, no, no, no, no," Alan shook his head wildly.

"Oh de la le, oh de la le, golly what a day." Charli began to sing, this time Tanya joining in. When they stopped singing, Charli grinned. "Wait here." She disappeared, leaving Tanya alone with the shocked looking outlaws. Five minutes later, she returned, carrying the soft toys of most of the cast of Robin Hood Disney.

"Okay here we go, Little John - the bear. Alan A Dale - the Rooster. And Robin Hood - the foxy fox. Sorry…Djaq, Much. You weren't in it." The two shrugged looking relieved.

"What about Me?" Will asked.

"No, neither were you." Will looked happily at her, before turning to examine the teddies.

"Why a rooster?" Alan said mournfully, holding his toy up. Tanya grinned, raised the camera and snapped a picture of the depressed expression on his face. "And why did I sing?"

"Somebody must have had a sense of humour when they wrote the film." Charli shrugged.

"Yeah...a sick one," Alan murmured as he looked at the toy in disgust.

"Hey Charli," Tanya peered around an appalled Robin to grin at her friend. "It's getting late. I think, one more ride before our dinner plans." At Charli's nod, Tanya's grin grew. "What about Phantom Mannor?"

Charli grinned knowingly. "I hope we can take photos in there!"

"We can." Tanya nodded, and before the outlaws could protest, the girls had grabbed their hands and dragged them over to the queue for the ride.
