Later that evening, the group had settled down for the evening in front of the TV, the day's events of babysitting Hayley wearing each and everyone one of them out. Tanya's eyes began to close; her head resting on Robin's shoulder, but a loud knock on the door startled her awake. Everyone sat up, alert. "Ummm…" Charli moved behind Will, looking a little scared.

"They wouldn't knock, it wont be them," Robin assured her. "But can we have our weapons, just in case?"

"No. No weapons." Tanya muttered. "Just answer the door."

"But what if it IS them?" Robin asked.

"You just said it wouldn't be. No weapons," Tanya rose from the sofa and headed to the door.

"Wait a minute!" Robin ran after her.

"Robin! Oh for goodness sake!" Tanya groaned as Robin pushed her behind him and back into the lounge.

"I'm going to open the door," he finalised. "Not you."

"Out of order," she mumbled.

Robin turned and glared at her. "I hardly think so." And with that he opened the door, each of the guys looking on in anticipation. "What do you want?" He asked a little rudely.

"Manners Robin!" Charli yelled, still hiding behind Will a little timidly. "Who is it?"

Robin didn't answer; instead he took a step back and opened the door wider to reveal two young men stood there; Harry and Darren. "Oh..." Tanya and Charli said at the same time. Tanya cringed; she had completely forgotten about her supposed boyfriend since the day in Disney.

"Oh?" One of the boys demanded. "Oh? Is that all you can say? You disappear for days, no phone calls, not notes, nothing. And then we turn up and all you can say is 'Oh'?"

"Yeah, problem?" Robin glared.

"Are you the Mongolian?" Harry stepped forward into the flat.

Robin placed his hand on the mans chest and pushed him back. "Hold it right there."

"Guys," Tanya came forward, sensing a male ego fight in the making. "Let's not do this."

"Yeah." Charli stepped out from behind Will. "Guys," she turned to the outlaws. "Can you give us a minute?"

"No," Robin deadpanned.

"Yes," Tanya shook her head in disbelief as she grabbed his sleeve and dragged him away from the door. She made her way over to her bedroom and pushed him in. "You stay in there for at least twenty minutes while Charli and I sort this mess out."

"Tanya, you're not going to...I mean...he...do you love him?"

Tanya stopped in her tracks, stunned at his words. "Is this what this is about?" She began to laugh. "Give me twenty minutes." She turned.

"You didn't answer my question."

"That's because it was a stupid one." She left him in the room and returned to the rest of the group. "The rest of you, in there with Robin! Now!"

"But-" Much protested as they walked in.

"What's your problem?" Tanya glared.

"Um...I don't have one..."

"Good!" Tanya slammed the door after him and turned back into the hallway. Harry stood glaring at her.

"Why are those Mongolians still here? I thought they would have gone back ages ago."

"Stop calling them Mongolian's!" Tanya shouted. The last thing she wanted to do was to get mad, but he had started by getting irate, so why should she be civil? Charli's hand on her arm calmed her down a little.

"But that's what they are-" Darren frowned.

"No, they're not! I can't believe you actually fell for that!" Tanya laughed. "Anyone can see they're clearly, British. Quite local actually."

"So why are they here?"

"They are staying with us," Charli interrupted. "And we went to France. Sorry that we didn't call you, but it all happened a little fast."

"Sorry?" Darren took a step towards her and she drew back. "You haven't spoken to us in at least a week!"

"We've been busy." Tanya shrugged.

"Too busy to think about calling your boyfriend?"

Tanya's head snapped up. "Harry, I never actually said we were a couple. So we went out on a few dates, we kissed..."

"Well I wouldn't exactly say we were friends, would you?" His voice began to rise.

"Hey! Calm down!" Charli stepped between the two of them.

"Shut up, Charli!" Darren snapped. "You've done exactly the same." Charli gaped, tears springing to her eyes.

Harry turned backed to Tanya. "So - you're sleeping with that Robin Mongolian?"

Tanya's eyes widened, his words hitting her hard. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me! You've been sleeping with him!" He pointed toward the bedroom door and shook his head in disgust. "You know what? I don't want to see you anymore. You're nothing but a filthy-"

Tanya cut him off with a sharp slap to his face. "Maybe I am!" She seethed. "But it beats being with you any day. We're over. Now get out."

Charli looked at Darren sadly. "She's right. This can't go on anymore. I was nearly killed yesterday, and you were not the one there to save me. Its over."

"It's far from over!" Harry glared, his hand on his cheek where Tanya had hit him.

"What? Are you stupid as well as deaf? I said get out!" She pushed him this time. Harry stumbled back slightly, causing Charli to snigger.

"Bitch," Harry muttered, quickly finding his feet again and making his back toward Tanya. "Do not push me about."

"Hey! Stop!" Charli yelled as she watched him grab Tanya's wrist tightly. She made a move to help her friend but Darren grabbed her waist and pulled her back. "Oh no, " she seethed. "I'm SICK of being pushed around by MEN!"

"Let go of my arm, Harry." Tanya's jaw tightened. "Or I will hurt you."

"What are you gonna do?" He smirked.

"The question is, what am I going to do." Came a voice from behind them. The group turned their heads to find Robin standing there along with Will, looking a little TOO calm; Tanya recognised the fire in his eyes though.

"Should I be afraid?" Harry laughed.

"Yes," Tanya and Charli said at the same time.

"I suggest you do as the lady asks. Let go of her arm and leave."

Will stepped forward this time. "And take your hands of Charli too."

"Says who?" Darren challenged.

"Me." Will threatened, his eyes a little wider than normal.

"Oooh shaking," The man replied, pulling Charli a little further away from Will.

"Let me go Darren! Let go of Tanya!" Harry, too, had pulled Tanya out of Robin's reach, causing her to cry out as he twisted her wrists.

"Right that's it," Robin fumed. In one fluid motion he stepped forward and threw his fist into Harry's face. Tanya fell back when he released his grip on her, looking more than a little stunned.

"Robin..."

"I asked you nicely to let go of her and you didn't listen to me. Am I going to have to ask you again to get out?" He glared at the two men.

Darren looked around hesitantly before shoving Charli back towards Will. "Here, you can have her. She was no good anyway."

Charli stumbled towards Will but the young man seemed not to notice, Alan appearing behind him and catching her. Will leapt, almost snarling, at Darren, hand grabbing his shirt, pulling him closer, fist drawing back.

"Will no!" Charli pulled herself from Alan's grasp and grabbed his fist. "Don't!"

Will continued to glare at the man for a several more moments before pushing him away. "You're not worth it."

Charli let out a sigh of relief as she looked over at Tanya. "Are you okay?"

She nodded and smiled. "I wouldn't worry about me." She motioned over to Harry who now seemed to be sporting a bust lip and nose.

"Who's worried about him?" Charli hissed, pulling Will back to her. He slipped his arms around her waist and Darren glared.

"Oh I get it now."

"Never were the smartest tool in the box, were you Darren?" Charli muttered sarcastically.

"Right then," Tanya rubbed at her wrist and frowned when she saw a bruise forming already. "I'll try again. You two. Out now, and do not come back."

"I could press charges!" Harry shouted, trying to stop the blood pouring from his nose.

"You could press flowers honey, and I wouldn't care." Charli stepped out of Wills arms and tried to push him out of the door.

"I'll have you first! Bring it on." Tanya glared. "Now get out!"

"Now," Robin finished as he stepped in front of her.

"I don't..."

"OH! JUST GO!" Charli yelled. "Get out! Out of my house! You no longer have any right at all to be here! Out before I call the police!"

The two men shook their heads as they backed up. "This isn't over." Harry glared at Tanya and Robin.

"Yes it is. You think you're scaring us? Trust me; we have bigger issues to be dealing with right now more than two little boys such yourselves."

"But I seriously thought you loved me."

"Yeah, well I met Robin Hood." And with that she slammed the door in their faces.

There was a silence as everyone stared at the door, half expecting the two to burst back through. "That was fun." Charli gave a little laugh and slid to the floor. "Are we just a magnet for threats at the moment?"

"Apparently so," Tanya frowned, still staring at the door.

"They were bloody idiots if ever there were two," Alan scoffed.

"Understatement," Robin said quietly, still clearly glowering.

"Who cares about them". Will crouched down next to Charli. "Are you two alright? Tanya?"

Tanya finally managed to tear her eyes away from the door. "Of course," she smiled at Will, unaware that she was rubbing her wrists.

"We've endured worse," Charli chuckled, her mind wondering back the night before again.

Will's face looked slightly pained for a moment. "That doesn't give them any right to start pushing you around."

"Will's right." Robin looked a little troubled. "Let me see your wrist."

"No, I'm okay," Tanya pulled away from him when he tried to look.

"Tanya," he warned.

"Walking away now." She rolled her eyes as she made her way back into the living room.

"Tanya!" Robin followed her. "Let me see!"

"I said I'm fine-" She began, but was cut off and started giggling when Robin caught her up and lifted her into his arms. "Get off me Locksley!"

Robin ignored her. "When are you going to start listening to me?" He kissed her nose tenderly.

Tanya screwed her eyes up as if in thought. "Um...probably never. I AM okay though, honestly."

Robin placed her back on her feet, but caught her arm before she could escape again. He took in a sharp breath when he saw the mark on her arm. "Tanya, for god's sake."

Tanya shook her arm from his grasp. "Not you as well!" She shouted, but before she could pull away completely he had pulled her to him, and she crashed against his chest.

"Charli told me you'd been hurt before in the past..." Robin whispered, but hesitated at his choice of words. "But I didn't think she was being literal. He's done this before?"

Tanya shrugged, pulling him closer. "It's not a major issue. He's never beat me or anything like that, if that's what you mean...he's just a little rough."

It was all Robin could do to stop himself charging out of the flat and chasing this man down. "It is a major issue, Tanya" Robin murmured in her ear. "Even in 1192."

"Robin's right," Will joined the pair, his hand in Charli's as he pulled her along beside him. "You shouldn't let him do that to you."

"You never told me," Charli shook her head in disbelief. "I had no idea. I wasn't being literal when I said you'd been hurt in the past."

Tanya pulled away from Robin. "She told you all this? When?"

"Oh yeah, I threatened him and everything." Charli's worried expression did not fade.

Tanya glared at her. "It was none of your business to tell!"

"Hey, I wanted to know," Robin defended her.

"Well, in that case, you should have asked ME!"

"I would have, but you wouldn't let me get close!"

"I don't need this," Tanya murmured, pulling out of his arms.

"Tanya!" He called, keeping a firm grasp on her. "Don't!"

"That's why he asked me!" Charli said. "Because you walk away!"

"Charli? Not helping." Robin muttered.

"Look! I'm tired, fed up and PISSED OFF! I appreciate you trying to help and play the hero and all, but I'm really not in the mood!"

"Stop walking away from me." Robin warned.

"You're not listening," Tanya growled.

"Neither are you!" Robin tried really hard to keep his voice low. "You might not think you need me now Tanya...but I need you!"

Tanya stopped backing away and looked up at him, stunned. "You do?" She blinked.

"Yeah…" he ran his hands through his hair. The others backed away slightly. "So much! Just then...I was so scared...God..."

"You were?" Tanya shook her head. "I mean...sorry..." she looked down at the floor and scuffed her feet along the carpet." No ones ever said that to me before."

"It's about time some one did." Charli muttered. "I say it to her all the time, but apparently I don't count."

"Shut up." Tanya glared. "I'm still mad at you for telling Robin."

"Don't be mad at her. She cares about you, as I do too."

Tanya smirked then, taking a step back toward him. "I can't believe you punched Harry."

"I should have done so much more," Robin muttered darkly, kissing her cheek.

Tanya chuckled. "Forgive me. I'm just feeling a little messy right now," she glanced over at Charli. "We both are."

"I hear that." Charli leaned against Will. "Ooh. But I know what will make me feel better!" She glanced at Tanya, a wicked glint in her eye. "Fish and Chips. And a Chick Flick. And Chocolate. Ice- Cream. Jelly beans..."

"Not a lot then." Will laughed, while Much's eyes lit up.

"That would make me feel much better too!" He began to jump up and down on the spot.

"Yeah me too-sh'it!" Tanya suddenly said, causing everybody to stop what they were doing. "I completely forgot! I have a rehearsal for the pantomime tonight!"

"You're not going out." Robin said firmly. "I forbid you to."

"Forbid me?" Tanya began to laugh, but her face dropped when she saw the look on his. "Oh...you're serious, aren't you?"

"Deadly."

"Don't say deadly" Alan shivered, pulling Djaq towards him and resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Robin! I have to go! I can't let them down! Opening night is in three days!"

"But..." he looked around. "Are you not even slightly worried after everything that's happened since we arrived back from Paris?"

"Of course I am."

"Exactly. I am not letting you go, and that's final."

Tanya scoffed. "Oh my god! It's like living with my father again!"

"You're not going!" Robin frowned, crossing his arms.

"Watch me," she hissed, turning from him and storming to the door.

"Tanya! Please don't go on your own!" Charli called. "I'll come!"

"No!"

"Why not? It will be safer!" Charli tried to stop her.

"Because," she looked past her and glared at Robin. "It's the principal and… I want to prove a point."

"Do you not care that it's dangerous out there? You could be killed!" Charli said disbelievingly.

"Or worse, Gisborne could kidnap you." Robin joined them.

Charli shuddered. "Ugh, that IS worse."

"You're not going with her," Will took hold of Charli. "Gisborne seemed more interested in you than Tanya."

"No, I just happened to walk into the room first," she pointed out.

"Bye Guys!" Tanya pulled open the door.

"Tanya!" Robin sighed. "If you have to go, I'll come with you."

"Oh no! Much! You come with me. We can get food on the way home."

Much's ears pricked up at the sound of food. "I'd love to."

Robin looked at his friend and then back at Tanya. "Okay, but you'd better be careful. Look after her, or I'll kill you."

Much nodded his head eagerly, not doubting Robin's words for one moment. "Of course."

"I have my cell if you need me," Tanya pointed out.

Robin nodded and she crossed the room to embrace him, pressing her lips to his.
"I'll be fine Robin."

"Ooh!" Charli grinned, "Can you get me a date with your co-star?" Will's eyes widened as he stared at her. "Joking Will. Her co-star is gay anyway. Maybe we should set him up with Djaq!" She sent a sly glance over at the Saracen.

Djaq shot Charli a dirty look across the room. "That was not my fault. I happen to look like a boy, it cannot be helped."

"She is far from a boy." Alan defended her.

"Yeah, far from it." Will agreed a little too quickly.

Charli looked at him suspiciously. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Ummm nothing…" Will glanced at her. "Nothing at all!"

"Riiiight."

Will blushed a deep shade of red, Djaq rolled her eyes. "Maybe you two should get going?" She looked at Tanya and Much.

"Why do I get the feeling I missed something here?" Charli murmured.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I think we ALL missed something." Alan pointed out.

"Yeah, but when I get back, you're telling me what that was about!" Tanya told Djaq, who shook her head. "Bye Guys!"

"So?" Charli turned to Will. "You gotta tell me!"

"There's nothing to tell!" He moved away from her, but stopped when Djaq suddenly started laughing.

"Oh Will, maybe we should just tell them, you did nothing wrong."

"I want to know!" Charli cried, pouting.

Robin looked amused. "Yeah Will! Oh! Does this have something to do with how you knew Djaq was a girl? I always wondered!"

Will blushed again. "You knew as well," he defended himself.

"I guessed! It's because I'm just so superior and cleverer."

"Cleverer? Yeah, sure!" Charli rolled her eyes.

"You know what I mean! Will?"

He waved them off. "It was an accident! I couldn't help what happened."

"What happened, for god's sake?"

"I'll tell them!" Djaq laughed.

"No!" Will's eyes widened.

"Go on Djaq!" Charli linked her arm with the Saracen. "Tell!"

"Well, it was the first day I met them, and Robin let us out to pray...and I went to wash."

"Djaq!"

"Will came to spy on me," the girl grinned. "And he caught me with my guard down."

"I was not spying on you!" Will said looking horrified. "I would never-"

"Didn't stop you from seeing everything though did it!"

"You saw her...wait! You saw Djaq naked?" Charli looked between the two of then before bursting out into laughter.

"Makes perfect sense now," Robin nodded.

"It's not that funny!" Djaq protested, as Will hid his face in his hands, blushing red.

"Oh baby." Charli reached out for him, sniggering.

He looked between his fingers at her. "You're not mad?"

"I was!" Djaq pointed out.

"Of course not." She giggled. "She was though," Charli pointed at the Saracen. "Maybe you should apologise..."

"I did! She ran away and didn't hear me!"

"Let's just forget it happened!" Charli shook her head, still smiling though. "No harm was intended. I'm feeling peckish; let's cook some Brownies or something."

"Much will go mad if you cook whilst he is away!" Robin warned.

"Maybe we'll get to eat the food this time before he takes it all."

"On second thoughts!" Robin grinned.

"Yeah, thought that would make you forget about worrying about Tanya." Charli grinned. "Kitchen! Let's make brownies!"
