Thank you Caro A Dale for being very first reviewer.

Reunited

Portsmouth

When the ship finally made port it was only first light. Everyone was happy they were finally home, but Marian and Andy were the happiest of the return.

"I'm never going back on a ship ever, and I thought the trip to the Holy Land was unbearable." Complained Elizabeth to anyone who would listen.

"We need to get horses and a wagon or carriage for the rest of us to ride in," said Elizabeth.

"This way," Andromeda, "I know someone that we can get that from." Andy led them to an inn. She found a man that worked at the tavern "I need to speak to Jeffrey," the man nodded and walked to over to a man who sat at a table with another woman. Jeffrey looked up at her and nodded towards the barn. Andy walked outside, and the others followed her.

By the barn stood a man who was fairly skinny, and had the look of someone who knew to be afraid of Andromeda.

"What do you want Andromeda?" Jeffrey asked angrily.

"What no; 'how are you', or 'haven't seen you in a long time,'" said Andy with a cheeky grin that reminded everyone of Robin.

"What are you doing here?" he said.

"I need two horses, and the biggest wagon or carriage you got," said Andy

"Why should I help you?" he asked suspiciously.

"Let us go through the things I've done for you. I introduced you to your wife, married the two of you, gave you the money to open this lovely place, I saved your life. And I'm your friend." Andy said to him softly.

He looked behind her and at the rest of them. He surveyed them and came to stop at Marian then continued on to Andy. "Fine, this way," he said leading them into the barn were there was a horse attached to a wagon. "Take the hay and put it in the wagon to make yourself comfortable, and I'll go get some food for you all," Jeffrey left and they all began putting hay in the wagon.

"I think two should be up front while the rest are in the back getting some sleep. Agreed?" said Djaq, and the rest nodded.

Jeffrey came back in with food, water, and a few blankets for them. "Thank you, my friend," said Andy taking the blankets, and handed him a few gold coins, "for your troubles, and we shall not forget this."

They climbed into the wagon with Carter and Will at the front, and the women in the back for some sleep, "We'll take turns driving." Said Carter to the women in the back. The blankets covered their legs and you couldn't see their faces because of the hay.

It was mid-day when the six of them were near the camp. Elizabeth and Andromeda, with their hoods up, were driving when they were surrounded by four men.

"This is'n' Ambush-"said the voice of Alan-A-Dale and Elizabeth gasped.

"Andy it's him," said Elizabeth so quietly only Andy could hear, and the outlaws stepped out with their bows pointed at them.

"You see there are people starving-"said the voice of a man with a small green hat on.

"Okay wait for my signal, and then I will have a little fun, but don't get caught," said Andy knowing exactly

"So you tell us what you got-"said the deep voice of Little John.

"NOW!" yelled Andy and jumped off the wagon. Elizabeth took the ropes and rode the wagon through the action.

She took out the two swords she carried around her waist and went after Alan first. Alan let the arrow go which missed his target, and pulled out his sword. Andy went to swing, but Alan blocked. Then Much came to help Alan. Alan went to swing, but he was met with a foot to stomach delivered by Andy and fell to the ground. Andy threw a dagger that went through his sleeve and forced him to the ground. John, Robin, and Much then started to attack her.

Andy ducked John's staff and blocked Robin's sword and punched Much in the jaw. Much used a tree to balance himself, but Andy threw a dagger at his sleeve and it held him back. Robin lunged forward, but Andy grab his wrist and kneed him in the stomach and he fell back. John swung his staff, and knocked one sword out of her hand. Andy used the sword in her hand to break John's staff in two and one half to knock him unconscious.

Now only Robin was left. He got up and picked up his sword. They circled each other and, he lunged forward. He and Andy were equally matched against each other, but Robin was stronger and Andy was faster. Andy was knocked off balance by a Robin's sword. Robin saw it as an opportunity and went to strike, but Andy met his sword, side-stepped, tripped Robin, and then put her at his neck.

"There is only one person that knows that move," said Robin and pulled back Andy's hood, "Andromeda what are you doing here?"

"You know her?" asked John and Alan.

"Andromeda is it really? As in Andy?" asked Much.

She smiled and help him up. "I go where the adventure is Robin. You of all people should know what that is like."

"Andromeda!" yelled the voice of Carter running followed by Elizabeth, Will, Djaq, and Marian.

"There's my guard," said Andromeda to Robin, "You know I thought after all this time you would be a better fighter and taller. You know I'm 17 and you are the same height you were 8 years ago."

Then Carter walked up. "Carter!" said Robin and Carter walked up and gave him a hug.

"Andy are you all right?" Carter asked Andy.

"Well it's about time you woke up. You all missed all the fun." Andy said turning to the three that were helping the other outlaws up.

"Alan-A-Dale?" asked Elizabeth that joined the group with Much.

"Eliza-"Alan was cut off by Elizabeth punching him across the face.

"You know I stuck my neck out for you, and you did was wash and then hang me out to dry."

"Hey, SHUT UP!" yelled Andy, "We came back for a reason, and that reason was not to kill Alan. It was to bring back….. Where is she? Andy took off in the direction the others came from, and Djaq followed

"Where is she going?" asked John.

"I don't know," said Robin and then looked to Elizabeth, "anyway lads this is Elizabeth, and the girl that ran off is Andromeda. She's King Richard's daughter and she is my god daughter." Looking in the direction she and Djaq ran off in he could see three figures coming in their direction.

"Robin," said Andy walking up to them, "the reason we all came back was to bring someone pretty back from the dead."

Djaq and Andy both stepped aside and there she was. Marian. His Marian was there, alive, and standing in front him. Robin reached out to see if she was really there. Marian took his hand and pressed it to her cheek. "I'm here Robin."

Robin smiled and pulled Marian close and kissed her. Everyone smiled at the couple, and decided to give them alone time so they headed back to camp. Robin and Marian kissed again more patiently then the first one.

"I missed you so much." Said Robin dropping his sword, bow and arrows to the ground.

Just then the wagon that Marian and others had rode in, pulled up, and Robin lifted Marian on to it.

"I love you Robin Hood," Marian said

A couple that was ripped apart was now reunited.
