Hey everybody. Just a little one-shot I wrote while I was sitting outside Morrisons waiting for my mum to finish the food shopping! Dunno what possessed me to have this idea…
This is my first Narnia fic, please, be honest and tell me what you think.
Set at Cair Paravel, post LWWW. FRIENDSHIP ONLY!

Tumnus stared at Lucy in fascination from the balcony. She was sat in the middle of a soft bed of grass in the gardens, eyebrows knitted in concentration, tongue between her little pearls of teeth. Occasionally she would reach into her skirt for something, which she had spread over her lap like a basket. Then, her fingers would resume their fiddly business.
Finally, the faun could resist his curiosity no longer. Wandering out into the garden, he sat beside Lucy, and said;
"Dear one, what are you doing?"
The little girl looked up at him with a grin, and replied;
"Why, I'm making a daisy chain, of course!"
"A what?"
Lucy held up a string of tiny white flowers, and said;
"See, a daisy chain."
"May I?"
Tumnus took the flowers from her and inspected them carefully, but couldn't understand how they quite all fit together.
"And just why do you do this?" he asked.
"Oh, you'll see," Lucy replied, her voice filled with mischief. "Would you like to learn how to make them?"
The remainder of the afternoon was spent out in the warm sunshine, the pair's giggles filling the air. Lucy watched with a proud smile as Tumnus linked the daisies together, his nose wrinkled with absolute focus.
That evening, Lucy fell asleep at the dinner table. After Susan had tucked her into bed, she said to Peter;
"She must have had a very busy afternoon."
"I should say so!" her brother replied with a laugh, and pointed out of a window. Susan looked out and smiled. Sat on a bench in the gardens, playing his pipes, and looking very proud, was Tumnus.
He was covered, from head to hoof, in daisy chains.

Well, there you go…. Please review, even if you hate it!
P.S: I want to pitch an idea for a new story. Basically it's an O.C, (yes, you may throw things at me), but instead of the normal 'ressurrect the bad guy' ploy, I was wondering what people would think if I somehow got the Nazis into Narnia? Please, let me know.
