The Quest
"Lu, get off of me!" I yelped as Lucy began jumping on me, hollering to wake up.
"But Peter, you have to see Susan! She looks so funny!" Lucy squealed.
"She has a point. Susan does look incredibly funny." I heard Edmund's voice from somewhere else in the room.
"Why does she look funny?" I asked curtly.
"You'll have to get out of bed and see." Lucy told me snidely. Groaning, I opened my eyes and heaved myself out of the large oak bed. I had a feeling today was going to be one of my worse days. I was right.
"I have to warn you, Lucy. Peter never could imagine Susan looking funny. You'll be lucky if he gives you a smile, let alone a chuckle." Edmund acknowledged. I gave him a look and continued trailing them. Lucy rounded a bend and opened the door that led to Susan's room. Now, what I saw was more distressing than funny. So trust Edmund and Lucy to like it. I thought to myself angrily. The two had demolished Susan's room and she was attempting in vain to clean it up.
"That is not funny, you two!" I enlightened them roughly. Without waiting to see their reaction, I began rearranging some books onto a shelf, by alphabetical order. I knew that was how they'd been organized before. I didn't turn away from cleaning as the two clomped out of the room.
"Thanks for the help," Susan said a while later, though not looking up from her cleaning, "But don't you think that maybe you were a bit too rough on them? I mean, remember back in England when we were their age and we destroyed Mum's room? She wasn't that angry with us, she only asked us to help her clean it up."
"I'm not Mum." I told her, then immediately regretted it. "I'm sorry. I'm having a bad day and I'm taking it out on you."
Susan answered kindly, "Everyone has bad days, Pete."
"I know, but mine seem to abound." I said dryly. That earned me a dress on my head.
Susan laughed, "I think it looks good on you!" I picked it off of my head and threw it back at her. Then, shaking my head, I sighed. "This room is going to end up worse than how Lucy and Edmund like it if we don't stop this." Nodding, Susan set to work rearranging clothes in a burnished oak wardrobe that was in fact much like the one we had entered Narnia through.
"Finished! Finally!" I exclaimed as Susan and I stood in the middle of the sparkling-clean room.
Susan smiled and said, "You know, it was a bit messy to begin with. Edmund and Lucy actually did us a favour!" I smiled back, although I was still mad at them for purposely doing such a thing to Susan's room.
"Well, I feel like breakfast. Going to join me?" I inquired.
"Race you there." Susan smirked. We dashed out of the room. I was wrong. Today would be fine… wouldn't it?
