*Loosely based on Robin Hood* Description: Dan is the son of the king and Phil is the (attractive) archer. The archer competition is supposed to win a kiss from the princess, but Dan has other ideas.

I was watching Disney's Robin Hood and I thought this would be kinda cute :333 Enjoy ;)

Phils POV

Morning light shone through my window letting me know that it was morning.

"Ugh, well time to start my chores" I mumbled to myself, getting dressed to feed the chickens.

After putting on my pants, shirt, and boots I run out the door making my way down to the chicken coops. As I race down I see my mother hanging up our laundry to dry in the warm countryside sun.

"Good morning mother! Just heading off to do my chores..." I explain to my mother, noticing her confused expression. 

I usually don't get up this early unless I have a good reason, which today, I do.

Today was the day of the royal archery competition, and as I have been using a bow and arrow since I was 5, I would say I have a good chance to be noticed by the king. I could even get a job as a royal archer if I was lucky.

Which I usually wasn't but a boy can dream

"What's the rush today Philip? You're usually not up this early, what's the big-"

"Today is the royal archery competition and I want time to practice beforehand...got to run!" I say rushing to get the chicken feed.

I run into the coop slightly out of breath as I spread the feed halfheartedly around the ground, watching as the chickens start to peck and attack the ground.After that I go around the corner to collect the eggs, getting 6 of them, and putting them in the basket that I grabbed on my way out the front door. Next, was cleaning the house. This is going to take a while...

I was right, it did take a while. I had to sweep and scrub the floors, wash and dry all of the windows, organize the pantry, take the laundry town from the clothesline and fold and put them away in either my room or my mother's. By the time I was done, I was sweating, I wasn't the most inshore person, but I wanted to do the chores as fast as I could to make time for archery practice which made me sweep and clean at double speed.

Panting, I wipe my brow with my handkerchief and look down at what I was wearing.

Brown pants, light beige shirt that looked light brown from the amount of work I do in it, and a pair of black knee high boots. These were the only other clothes I had, but I had saved up some money for some presentable clothes to go to the archery competition in, as it was going to be in front of royalty.

I rush up to my room and open up my closet, there I have a new pair of black pants, a dark brown shirt, and a pair of casual shoes.

I smile and decide,to keep from sweating in my new clothes, to practice in the clothes I was currently wearing.

I grab my bow and arrow, whistling while I walk with a spring in my step. Archery is something I had always been good at and this was a chance to prove to the King that I was the best in the kingdom. A nice enough though, but it still made me nervous.

I lined up my body to the target, took a deep breath, and shot.

Bullseye...

Dans POV

I wake to a knocking on my door and my sister Amelia yelling through the door, "DAN GET UP!! Dad wants us on the field to watch the archery competition in 5 minutes!"
