Maid Marian Costume Models

There once was a fare maiden.
She was as beautiful as a rose.
All men wanted her to be theres,
But her heart belonged to only one.

That is the great Robin Hood.
He was a bandet.
Who stole from the rich,
and gave to the poor.

There story would be told for centuries.
How their love for each other would never die.
That Robin would always be there for her.
They would never give up what they believed in.


OK. Now lets fast forward several centuries. It is the year 2020. Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. But no one knows the story of what happened after the two got married and lived happily ever after. Here is a quick run through to catch you up. They ended up having two kids a daughter and a son. Who ended up having kids and they had kids. The most recent of this line is Mary Hood.

When she went off to school her parents had told her about her heritage. To make sure when she fell in love, its true. Not for someone that looks good but someone who is good of heart.

The first three weeks of school she got a lot of comments about who she was and who her family was. And of course several guys came up to her and asked her out. Every time she would turn them down. Especially one, Gibbs, he had asked her out almost everyday starting from day one. It got to the point where he would bring her flowers and or chocolates to convince her. She would always turn him down. She was following her parents advice to find love for who the person was, not what they looked like.

One Friday night Mary went out with a couple of friends to a party. She only knew a couple of people there. One of which was her lab partner, Rob. Rob wasn't to bad looking, but the best part about him was his personality. They had been talking for about thirty minutes until Gibbs squeezed his way into the conversation. He ended up push Rob to the side, causing him to find conversation else where.

"Hey.. Mar..e. H..ow long... have you...bend here," He tried to say. "Hello Gibbs, not very long. I see you're having a good time." She said trying to see where Rob ended up going. This made Gibbs smile. He leaned in closer. "Now why is.. a pretty girl like you wot go out with't me." Mary placed a hand on his chest and pushed him away. "Gibbs your drunk, maybe we should call you an uber." She said with a sweet voice.

He chuckled, "Only if your in it with me." She rolled her eyes and tried to take a step back but she was already up against the wall. "Gibbs not tonight, I don't think it's the best idea" She said. Gibbs began to get closer, his forehead almost touching hers. "Come on...just one date?" He said eagerly. She sighed, "Ok find if you agree to get in the uber without fighting me about it." With a big goofy smile he nodded his head.

She pulled out her phone and called for an uber. "Ok the uber will be her in fifteen minutes. Stay here I'll be right back." With that, Mary made her way over to Rob. "Hey can I get your help with something?"  Robs face lit up, "sure whats up?" She walked him back over to Gibbs who had passed out on the couch. "I need your help getting him into the uber and upstairs to his room." Mary said with disappointment. Robs face dropped slightly, "Ya sure." Mary's phone buzzed notifying her the uber had arrived. Rob helped her lift Gibbs off the couch, who was about a foot taller and weight more then there weight combined.

The three where finally in the car heading back to Gibbs' place. The car ride was filled with awkward silence until they got there. Mary thanked the driver and attempted to carry Gibbs inside. "His roommate better be home. I'm not about to put him to bed," she said. Rob gave out a little chuckle. she shot a glare at Rob and he stopped immediately.

Rob knocked on the door with his free hand. There was no answer, so he tried one more time. The door swung open with a dried eyed guy in a pair of blue boxers. "gezz come on man you said you wouldn't do this anymore. Here give him to me I'll lead him to his room." The guy slipped under Gibbs arm and lead him inside. Mary and Rob both looked at each other and laughed.

"Well it's getting pretty late, I think I'm gonna head home." Mary said. Brushing his hand through his hair Rob said, "Mind if I take you home?' Mary smiled and they both began to walk to her place. They talked and laughed all the way there. "Well this is me." Mary said.  "Hey I had a great time tonight. We will have to do it again sometime." She nodded. And before she went up the stairs Rob placed a kiss on her cheek. " and hey maybe next time we won't be carrying a big old drunk guy home." she laughed once more. " Goodnight Rob." He waited until she made it inside to leave.

When she shut the door she melted into the floor. For she knew she had found her the Robin to her Marian.

Love can be found in many ways. Don't be afraid to give it a chance when it comes around.

Author's notes: I decided to take the love story of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. Instead of using Robin and Marian, I wanted to use there great great great grandkids instead. This allowed me to put these characters in modern times.
