Narnia: The Final Return: Prologue
A/N: The story takes place a little over a year after Prince Caspian (movieverse), and Aslan never told Susan and Peter they couldn't come back to Narnia. Also, I know it's kind of cheesy and unrealistic- but hey, it's fanfiction. And please review and tell me what you think!

She pulled back from the kiss and looked up at the tall, handsome, dark-haired man standing in front of her. He was looking at her intensely, and she couldn't keep the blush from spreading across her cheeks.
"I wish we could have had more time together," he whispered into her ear.
She smiled sadly. "We never would have worked, anyway."
"Why not?"
"Well, I am thirteen hundred years older than you."
He pulled her close for another kiss. She gasped from the incredibly wonderful feeling, smiling into his lips. He moved to deepen the kiss, and-

Susan Pevensie woke with a start in her room in Finchley, London, in a completely different world than the one she dreamed of. She sighed, used to the awful realization that Caspian was far away in Narnia, and that she would most likely never see him again.
She rolled over, looking at her sleeping sister Lucy. The youngest Pevensie, although once again sad to leave Narnia, had dealt better than her siblings after the most recent trip to Narnia. Susan was worried that, after their incredible return last year, Lucy assumed they would go back again. However, over a year had passed, and Susan was losing hope. And even if they could, who knew how many years would have passed? She didn't know if she could bear to be in Narnia without- she swallowed deeply, trying to get rid of the lump in her throat- Caspian.
Susan closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep, continuing her dreams of the dark-eyed prince.

Later that day, the four Pevensies were on their way to the park. Well- Lucy was on her way to the park with Edmund by her side, who was throwing amused glances at a reluctant Susan and a disgruntled Peter who were several paces behind.
"Lucy, why are we going to the park again?" Peter complained.
"Oh, it will be fun! All week the three of you have been so boring! It's finally summer, we should enjoy it, not just sit and stare into space," Lucy said cheerfully.
"Maybe I want to sit and stare into space," murmured Susan under her breath.
"No, Susan, what you want to do is dream about Caspian," Ed teased, grinning wickedly at his older sister.
"Why, you little-" she started after him as he raced ahead, laughing. The trees above them swayed, just slightly- but unusually like the dancing trees of Narnia. Lucy watched them, thinking of the beautiful sights she missed everyday. She didn't mention it, though, and simply grabbed Peter's hand as the two ran to catch up to their siblings.
When Lucy and Peter reached the others, Edmund was staring intently at a tree at the edge of the park, Susan watching him. And just as he reached his hand out to touch the bark, Susan couldn't help but let out a giggle.
"Sorry, Ed, but you look so silly! You're looking at the tree as if- as if-" But no more words would come. For she, and the rest, had noticed that the tree seemed rather familiar. Very similar to a tree that they had not seen often, but that had marked a significant event in their lives. And Lucy looked up, and noticed again that the branches seemed to sway. Edmund followed her gaze and looked back at her, grinning. They put their hands on the trunk at almost exactly the same time.
"Oh, surely, you don't think- you can't think- No, no, it's not-"
"Shut up, Su," Peter smiled at her, placing his own hand near those of his brother and sister. Susan rolled her eyes, grumbling, and did the same. At first nothing happened, and Susan began to step back, as if to say 'I told you so.' But Lucy glared at her, and she stayed put. And after a few moments, the tree began to move, untwisting slowly and forming a portal. A portal which, like the tree, was eerily familiar. The Pevensies grinned at each other, and Lucy, than Peter, than Edmund, and finally Susan stepped through the portal.
Into Narnia.
And, suddenly, into the Telmarine courtyard.
