Lesley was helping Lucy was the grocery. Or at least trying since Lesley wasn't that that strong.

"Perhaps we should get Edmund to help us?" Lucy asked Lesley. Lesley nodded, her cheeks turning rosy at the mension of his name. She was in love with him and Lucy knew that.

Together, the girls walked inside the building. There was a long line of men leading to a desk with an army man sitting there. They were probably trying to sign up from the army. And guess who was the could first one.

Lesley just shoke her head. She loved how determined he was, but sometimes he could b too determined.

"Edmund, you are suppose to be helping us with the groceries" Lucy said. Lesley had to use all her willpower to keep from laughing. But the men started laughing.

"Maybe next time squint" The man behind him said laughing. Edmund made his way past them and outside. He thought the groceries from Lucy midway and kept going to the bicycle.

"he barely had two years on me" Edmund complained "I'm a king. I've fought in wars and…led armies."

"not in this world" Lesley said

"yeah, instead I'm stuck here, doing battle with Eustace Clarence Scrubb. If anyone desired a name" Edmund complained. Lesley caught Lucy staring at a couple a distance away from them. Lesley watched as Lucy made an attempt to push some loose hair behind her ear.

"Lu, what are you doing?" Lesley asked, rasing an eyebrow at her. Lucy blushed.

"nothing" Lucy said taking one last glance at the couple "lets go then"

Together they made their way to Lucy and Edmund's cousin's house. Lesley didn't pay much attention to what Lucy was saying to her father's friend since her attention was on Edmund. Then he made a face to the men, which he didn't see cause his newspaper covered his face.

"father, Edmund is making faces at you" Eustace tattled, spitting a spitball at his neck. Lesley knew at once this was going to get ugly.

"Edmund, don't!" Lesley cried, but of course he aint listen to her.

"why you little…"

"father, he's gonna hit me!" Eustace cried. Edmund had run up to him and was about to hit him when Lucy cried:

"Edmund, Lesley look! It's from Susan"

As Lucy read the letter out loud, Lesley could hear Susan writing the letter. It has been so long since Lesley has last seen Susan. Just like Lucy, Lesley envied how beautiful she was. She could get any guy she wanted. Even though the only guy Lesley ever wanted never toke a second look at her.

"another few months, how will we survive?" Lucy asked out of the blue. Lesley was knocked out of her daydream.

"um you guys, you do have me remember?" Lesley said trying to make the atmosphere happier. Edmund smiled and hugged her tightly. Lesley felt her cheeks burn out of control. Lucy quietly giggled.

"as long as you stay, I'll be just fine" Edmund said. She looked up at him, since he was a lot taller then her, and they locked eyes. Lesley felt the air around them get detense.

That was until Eustace had to walk in and ruin everything. All three of them look at the door. Eustace looked like he might cry for a moment. Edmund and Lesley quickly seperated, Lesley pushed some hair behind her ear.

"there once was these two orphans who wasted their time, believing in narnian nursey rhymes" Eustace told in a story-like voice.

"please let me hit him" Edmund asked, getting his fist ready to meet his face.

"no" Lucy and Lesley commanded. Lesley held him back.

"don't you ever knock?" Edmund asked fiercely

"it's my house. Do as I please. You're just guests" Eustace answered, sitting on Lucy's bed. "what's so fasinating about that picture anyways? It's hidious"

"you won't see it from the other side of the door" Edmund said fiercely. Lucy and Edmund kept staring at the painting. Lesley toke a seat next to Eustace on Lucy's bed.

"Eustace, may I ask why you are in here?" Lesley asked. She was trying to keep both boys from fighting.

"I may be in here when I please. Plus I was bored and descided to bother you" Eustace explained. He shot Lesley a bright smile, Lesley frowned.

"there was once a boy named Eustace, who read books for the facts that would be useless" Edmund rhymed. Lesley couldn't help but giggle into her palm. Eustace's face burned.

"people who read fairy tales are to be become hideious burdens to people like me, who read books with real information" Eustace shot back. Lesley just shoke her head. Edmund turned around and walked over to them.

"would the both of you just shut up?" Lesley asked, crossing her arms "you guys are so annoying"

Eustace quickly stood on his feet and started backing away. Lesley opened her mouth but couldn't think of what to say. She didn't want to see Ed get in a fight with annoying Eustace. He was too perfect for that.

"Edmund, the painting" Lucy said. Lesley got up and made her way over to stopped I front of the painting. Her curly long cherry blonde hair started getting pushed by the wind coming out of the painting. Lesley had to blink a couple times because of the wind. Edmund and Eustace were still arguing behind them.

Water started spitting out the painting and hit both girls in the face. Both girls started screaming, causing the boys to stop fighting. Water came pouring out the painting and started filling up the room slowly.

"what's going on here?" Lesley asked stepping away from the painting and into Edmund's arms. No one anwered her question, which she expected.

"stop this or I'll tell mother. Mother! Mother!" Eustace cried but no one listened to him. The water just kept coming out. "I'll just smash the thing"

"Eustace, don't!" Lesley cried. They all tried to stop him but he already toke the painting off the wall. The water started pouring on top and all over them, soaking them to the bone. They were all shouting different things until they dropped the painting to the ground. The ground started getting full with water. Lesley looked all around mainly because she didn't know what to do. They were all pulled under and all of a sudden were at the ocean. "Edmund!"

"Lesley!" Edmund cried as he popped out the ocean. "where are we?"

"I don't know. I'm so scared" Lesley said. Suddenly she was pulled underwater. Lesley held her hands to her neck and tried not to freak out. But then all of a sudden, she blacked out.

When Lesley restored hearing, she could hear 3 different voices.

"Caspian, please please please tell me that she's alright" she heard Edmund beg. Her heart flew. He was crazy worried for her!

"she should be fine, her heart is beating" Caspain said. Lesley couldn't take it anymore, she shut up into a sitting position. She started spitting out water like crazy. Edmund and Lucy crashed her into a hug.

"Caspian…..hello" Lesley said, pushing her hair behind her ear. Caspian blushed. "it's good to see you again after so long. I've missed you"

"I've missed you too" he said pulling her into a hug.
