Previously on 'Of Sheriffs and Sisters':
Will walked into the back room and stopped. He saw the flush of his friends' cheeks and looked back and forth between the two of them. Something clicked in his brain and his mouth formed a silent 'Oh' before he backed out slowly.
Lizzy and Allan waited to Will was out of sight before both flopping onto separate bunks and staring at each other. Silence surrounded them as they sat there, both waiting for the other to say something.
Will walked back out to the fire, smiling widely for his two friends. He was startled when a pair of arms came around his waist.
"Why are you so happy looking?" Djaq questioned, leaning against his back. He turned to her and kissed her forehead.
"Just happy, my love," She looked up at him confused, but nodded. "Just happy.

Robin watched Djaq and Will interact. Marian was leaning up against him, telling Little John old stories. He looked around and noticed the absence of Allan and his sister at the fire. Deciding to find them, he made to get up, Marian grabbed his hand.
"She's eighteen," was all she said before she snuggled into his side to talk more with the others. Robin decided that she was right and stayed, listening to the stories being told.

Lizzy and Allan sat across from each other, saying nothing. They sent occasional glances at each other, but tried to avoid direct eye contact. Neither had spoken since Will had interrupted them. The silence was deafening.
"Allan,"
"Lizzy,"
They both laughed nervously, trying to ease the tension. Allan motioned for her to continue.
"Allan…" She sighed. "I don't know what to say."
Silence returned and the two continued to sit there. Suddenly, Allan stood and walked towards her. He kneeled in front of her and lifted her chin, kissing her lips lightly. "We both want this. So, there's nothing to say. Just let it happen."
Lizzy nodded and then smirked wickedly before pulling him by the collar and connected their mouths yet again.
Allan broke the kiss first. "So is that a yes?"
"We'll try." Lizzy conceded. Allan laughed happily and pulled her to him for a fierce hug. "I'm glad that makes you so happy, because you get to tell Robin."
The hold on her was immediately gone.
"I beg your pardon?" Allan looked slightly scared. "Me? Tell Robin about this? About us?" Lizzy just nodded, smirking. "Now I'm not sure about that. This just started. Do you really want me to die so early in our relationship?"
Lizzy laughed and kissed his cheek. "Do you want me to do it?" She asked. "Personally, I think Robin would think you quite brave for standing up against him. You just have to show him that you aren't afraid of him." Allan sighed, and gave Lizzy a face. "Or maybe I should be the one to tell him."
"Maybe…" Allan paused in thought. "Maybe we should wait to tell Robin. Just until this adventure with the sheriff blows over." Lizzy nodded. His idea wasn't too bad, but I Robin found out before they told him, then…well, it's Robin.
"Okay."
RHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHRH
"…that was the first time Robin ever said he would never marry me." Marian said, glancing at her husband with a smile. "One of the only times he said that. Lizzy smacked you pretty hard with that stick didn't she?"
Robin smiled at the memory and weaved his fingers through hers. "Yes. And with a tree branch no less. She really wanted me to marry you so she could have you as her 'sister.'"
"That I did," Lizzy exclaimed, joining everyone at the fire. "You were just too stubborn so I had to knock some sense into you."
Little John laughed loudly and pulled the youngest Locksley to him, giving her a tight, yet short squeeze.
"I'm not being funny, but where's my dinner?" Allan asked, sitting in the circle beside Lizzy, who picked up a bowl and put some soup into it. "Ah, my favorite…squirrel."
Robin laughed with the others as Much rambled on and on about how it was chicken. Things were good. For now at least.

"Gisbourne, is everything ready for our guests this afternoon?" The sheriff asked as he fed one of his birds. Gisbourne was standing in the corner, brooding and watching.
"Yes, my lord," Guy responded. "The messenger arrived an hour ago and from what he said, Prince John should arrive shortly."
The sheriff smiled and moved to look out the window. "Perhaps you are correct, Gizzy. It looks as if our guests have arrived."

"Ah, Prince John. How lovely to see you," Sheriff Vaisey remarked, bowing lowly. "I trust you had an excellent trip?"
Prince John smiled and nodded. "Of course. And I hope that everything is in order, my old friend." The two men shared a knowing smirk.
"Of course. Now, where is this cousin of yours?"
The coachman helped a young woman out of the carriage. She looked around, taking in her new surroundings.
"This, sheriff, is my dearest cousin, Elaine. Elaine, this is my good friend, Sheriff of Nottingham, Vaisey and his manservant, Sir Guy of Gisbourne." The Prince took her hand and led her to the two men. She nodded graciously and was amused when the sheriff kissed her hand.
"Madame, whilst you stay here, Sir Guy will be at your disposal. Do with him as you wish." She smiled kindly at the old man before turning to her cousin.
"I would like to see the town if that is alright?" She asked, pouting slightly.
"Sir Guy shall escort you." The prince remarked. Elaine smiled at her new escort and took the arm he offered and the two began to walk into town.
Author's Note: I'm so sorry it has taken me forever to update this! I got stuck on another story that isn't up here yet and then I got writers block with this one until one day, I just started writing. I hope you guys enjoy what I did with this chapter. Yes, I have officially decided to turn it into a Guy/OC as well, just because sometimes I feel bad for the man and all his loneliness. That relationship will only be on the side, though it may come in handy later in the story.
