One day when the girls got bored and wanted to do something fun, Anna asked them if they want to go fishing in the park.
So that was where they went. They had barely gotten started, and one of the girls was just playing around with her fishing rod, when to her own surprise she caught a huge one. The other girls looked at it with wide eyes. "Wow, that's so huge!" exclaimed Anna. "I never saw one that big outside an aquarium!" She came up for a closer look. Her friend, holding the fish, remarked, "And it's really heavy, heavier than it looks."
"You know, we could eat this for lunch," said the youngest in the group. "Let's go cook it!" The girls nodded and went to Anna's house.Ty , the girl who had caught the fish, cut it open to start cleaning it, as Anna watched. The girls were startled to see that inside the fish's stomach there was a leather bag, the kind people might have carried long ago, in the days before clothes had pockets. "Oh wow, now what did we find?" asked Anna, picking up the bag. "Hey, this is what made the fish heavy." So she started to open it. She now didn't say a word and the others got worried. "Is everything all right, Anna?" asked her friend Elyssa. "Yes, I'm all right now; but look what we got here--it's gold!" Anna laughed, and placed the gold on the table with a loud clank. Looking at Ty who had caught the fish, she said, "This rightfully belongs to you."
"No, I'll split with all of you," replied Ty .
"We're rich now!" Said Lee, who was the youngest one from the group.
Hours went by (after they ate the fish itself) and the girls looked at each other and started to count how many coins they had lying beside them. Anna saw something shiny in the the gold and it looked like it was rings. "Oh, how pretty!" Said Ty, placing one of the rings on her finger.
When she did this, she vanished!
The other girls all jumped up with screams of fright. Anna stepped back from the table with a faraway look on her face. "Ty is gone; how did this happen!?" Coming back to the table, she took one of the rings and did the same thing that Ty had done. In an instant she went missing as well. The rest of the girls were left wondering what the rings were and why they had been inside the fish.
Meanwhile, Anna and Ty found themselves in what seemed to be a forest. Anna walked around to see where they were; then they heard something coming behind them. "Shh, don't move, Ty," whispered Anna; "you never really know what it is. It might be a lion or something that we don't want to mess with." Anna was breathing fast. Then before they knew it there were five young men stanbding in front of them, wearing very old-fashioned clothes. One, carrying a bow with an arrow on the string, looked like he was the leader of the group. "Now, Now what do we have here?" said the man with the bow. "Do we have some spies in our woods?" asked the man. Anna took a deep breath or two. "No, sir, we are not spies we are, well, kind of lost," said Anna, now moving were the tallest one was. "Oh, oh man, you can't be!" screamed Anna. "Ty, I think we are in a book!" Anna told her friend. "This is Sir Robin Hood, and the tall one is Sir Little John," Anna told her, now bowing to them.
By this time, the other girls had also tried on rings, and they landed in a different part of the same forest. But they were next to someone you don't want to be around: Prince John, the man who wanted to steal the throne of England from his brother King Richard. And with John was the cruel Sheriff of Nottingham. "Oh, look, Sheriff," laughed Prince John; "it looks as if some foreign children have come into the forest!" The Sheriff laughed back "I think I know what we can do with them, sire." At a nod from Prince John, the Sheriff placed his sword near Lee's throat. "Now, now don't be scared. I won't hurt you yet," said the Sheriff with a loud laugh.
Not yet knowing that Elyssa and Lee were in danger, Robin Hood and his Merry Men took the girls to their hideout and asked them where they were from. The two girls frowned and told them they were not from this time, and they found some rings which took them here. Robin laughed at what he heard. "No wonder why you don't dress like we do! Hmm, Ty, may I see the rings please?" Robin placed his hand out. Ty nodded and gave him the ring she wore, and when she did, she was gone again. "Oh man, now what happened?" asked Anna, now looking at Robin and his men. "I think this is getting pretty weird now." She closed her eyes with tears rolling down her cheeks. "I think I want to go home now," said Anna. She was about to take off her own ring, hoping this would send her home, when one Merry Man who wasn't with them before came in their hiding place, and told Robin that he hadspotted two girls with Prince John and the Sheriff. Robin told the others to stay there and he would save the other girls.
Not long Prince John and the Sheriff where back at Nottingham Castle, wondering what they should do with the girls. But before they had decided anything, a bow twanged from a window, and an arrow shout into the room out of nowhere, followed by a shout. "You shall not harm those maidens, Prince John!" shouted Robin Hood, tossing a rope with a hook onto a rafter from where he was at the window. "I think I should have them, because they not yours to do anything!" Robin Hood now swung down to catch the girls, telling them to hang on to him so he could climb back up quickly. Prince John yelled for the guards; but before anyone could get close to Robin Hood, he was gone with Lee and Elyssa.
Back in the woods, one Merry Man had turned out to be a woman. She was the sister of a man who had died in the Holy Land, and she was taking his place in Robin Hood's band--even using his name, Jack. As the only woman from the group, she tried to calm Anna down for awhile. Luke, the one who had told Robin about seeing Elyssa and Lee, was falling in love with Anna, but he didn't know why. All he knew was she was pretty and he wanted her to be happy like Robin and Maid Marian. Then Robin came back and had the rescued girls with him. "Elyssa, Lee, you're all right!," said Anna, now running up to her friends to give them a hug. " I thought you were dead by now," said Anna, now looking around " This is Robin hood and his Merry Men; they are taking care of us for now until we find out more about our rings," she told them. "Ty took off her ring and vanished again; I hope that means she went home."
So that was where they went. They had barely gotten started, and one of the girls was just playing around with her fishing rod, when to her own surprise she caught a huge one. The other girls looked at it with wide eyes. "Wow, that's so huge!" exclaimed Anna. "I never saw one that big outside an aquarium!" She came up for a closer look.
