Robin and Maria

By Samhoku

I do not own them. Thanks for the review. (: I honestly didn't expect one that quickly.

Chapter

Well, lets just say Robin did not find his hat for a full day, then he found it on the rear of a glass horse. Robin got the message. He grumbled and placed the hat back on his head before searching for Maria, I know she doesn't like me, but really...

Maria was in the room with the piano, watching as it played the music all by its lonesome. She looked at the lion laying at her feet, making small snoring noises. It still had some tendency's of a large dog. Robin came in the room and said dryly, "I found the placement of my hat very entertaining, Maria."

Maria smiled brightly, "Yes, it was amusing wasn't it?" She liked messing with Robin's hat, it made him crazy. He did not like anyone to touch his hat, it was for him alone. But it never stopped Maria.

Robin asked in a mocking manner, "What do you think of being betrothed?" Maria stuck her nose in the air and turned away from him, "You don't want to know what I think. Mrs. Heliatrope would be horrified." Robin found this incredibly amusing, especially sense he couldn't even fathom her swearing about anything. Robin chuckled then looked at Maria, "It really isn't that bad...We are just stuck together for life."

Maria nearly lost it, she spun around and growled at him, "Yes, we are just stuck together for life. Thats the problem, Robin! I don't mind being friends but when you are acting like an arrogant..." Robin raised an eyebrow at her and looked over his shoulder to see Mrs. Heliatrope who looked entertained by the whole thing...that is until Maria looked like she would call Robin a bad name.

Maria smiled sweetly, "I mean...When you act like an arrogant...Um...Arrogant...sweetheart." She grumbled then walked past Robin again, trying to swipe his hat, but this time Robin noticed, "No Maria, its my hat. Go make yourself your own."

Maria poked him in the ribs then went over to Miss Heliatrope, "Can we do needlework? I need a distraction from this intolerable man." Robin looked very much entertained.

Maria was surprised when Miss Heliatrope said, "No dear, I am sorry. But we need to get you fitted for a wedding dress, your wedding is in two months, so we must order it ahead of time." Maria froze, she looked like a statue, then she grumbled, "Fine. Lead the way." Miss Heliatrope led the way to the fitting room.

Robin chuckled at the evil looks Maria was throwing at him as she walked away. Robin knew he would be in trouble later.
