This is a collection of short-stories about the Pevensie's family bonding. I have started this collection with just three ideas in mind so I would greatly appreciate any new suggestions. :)

Story 1

The young, dark haired girl, once known as Queen Susan, the Gentle in a country named Narnia walked purposefully down the street of Finchley towards her house. "

"They will have to answer me now." Susan Pevensie, for that was what she was called in this country England, muttered. She was a beautiful girl, at the gate of womanhood. As she walked down the street, many an eye turned towards her. Many people, mostly men, desired to offer her their assistance in whatever her business was but something in the way this young woman walked halted them. This was not just any ordinary, beautiful, English girl. The way she walked and her eyes darted around made everyone think of her as a fearless Queen going to face her enemy.

This furious young woman turned round the corner and there she could see her house. The front door was opened by perfect, manicured fingers and closed with a bang. Each step out of the eleven that she took on the drive and the four she took on the steps brought her closer to the person who was about to meet his doom at the hands of Susan Pevensie, the-not-so-gentle.

"Peter and Edmund Pevensie." She walked in the parlor of her house where five people were sitting. Everyone looked at her but she had eyes only for a blonde-headed and dark-haired boy. Anyone else would have writhed under the furious glare directed at them but the two boys matched her glare calmly.

"Yes, Susan." The blonde boy named Peter Pevensie, the eldest of the Pevensie sibling asked her.

Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pevensie along with the two youngest Pevensie, Edmund and Lucy watched the two older Pevensie in one of their many face offs. However, this time, the younger Pevensie brother was also included.

"Samuel was supposed to take me to a party at Mr. Wilson but he never showed up and just sent a note through his friend that he would not be able to come." Susan Pevensie said with steel in her voice. "Do you both have anything to do with it? For this is the sixth time that a boy has asked me out and had not showed up."

"If you give them such glares then I am not surprised that they did not show up." The youngest Pevensie girl, Lucy, muttered.

Try as hard as he wished, she could not help her lips from twitching upward in a smile. No matter how many dates her brothers had spoiled, no matter how much it annoyed her when her siblings tried to make her believe that a game they used to play in childhood was real, she still loved them all.

"What did you both do this time?" She asked, trying to maintain her former anger but that had long since dissolved and she failed miserably at any pretence of displeasure. She knew that it was her brothers who ruined all her dates but she could never figure out what they did to make the boys so afraid that most of the times they did not even show up.

"We? What did we do?" Her little brother asked with a suspiciously innocent face.

She was about to say something when her mother interjected. "Boys, I do not know what you all say to those boys neither do I want to know but please, stop doing this." Mrs. Pevensie said glaring at her two sons who just smiled cheekily. She continued. "Your sister is a grown up girl now. She should go to parties and meet new people."

"I don't care how old she is. She is till my sister and I don't like the way the boys look at her." Edmund pouted.

"I must agree with Edmund here. I don't like Susan to go out alone with those boys either. That too, so late." Mr. Pevensie said agreeing.

"Robert!" Mrs. Pevensie looked incredulously at her husband. "I can't believe you are supporting them. Susan just goes out with them to the parties and the boys are not bad. All the boys she has ever gone with belong to well-reputed families and many are your friend's children. You must be giving her your support in finding a boy and settling down in life, not helping your sons ruin her plans. And Peter, Edmund, don't you both want your sister to meet someone who would love her for her entire life, protect her and look after her well-being."

At this Edmund quickly said, "Well, Su doesn't need to go out anyone if that's the matter. Peter and I are there. We will love her for her entire life as we do now, we will protect her as we do now and we will look after well-being as we do now."

Two pairs of eyes looked at him exasperatedly but he just smiled cheekily and pushing his brother towards the two women said, "You deal with them. I have never been good at dealing with woman."

Susan took several deep breathes to calm herself and then repeated her question, "What did you both do this time?"

"Samuel, I think that was his name, was no trouble to deal with. Just a few life threats and he agreed not to wander with a five mile radius of you." Peter said casually, as if he was discussing weather.

"And Daddy?" Susan turned to her father. She did not glare, respecting him too much to do that.

"I? I did not do anything other than lending my rifle to Peter for the occasion." On hearing gasps from all three Ladies in the room, he quickly added. "I made sure to remove the bullets though. I don't want my sons to spend their lives in prison."

"Daddy…" Susan shook her head but had to smile at the sheepish grin her father gave to her and her mother. Robert Pevensie was formidable in wars but he knew that no man who had ever lived can match the wrath of a woman and so he had been quick to learn the ways to dissolve their anger.

He said, "Susan, I know you are growing up and you can go out to parties and balls but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it. I have seen you grow from a little new-born in your mother's arm to this young woman standing before me and it hurts to see that you have grown up enough to leave us and settle in life. So is the case with your brother. We want you to be happy with someone who will love you unconditionally and irrationally forever and will be able to keep you happy in the most difficult situations of your life. However, most of the boys you go out with are nothing but empty skulls living off their parent's money. I want you to live with someone who will love you so much that you will never miss us."

Susan's eyes teared when she saw her father smile sadly at her. She had her arms around her father in a tight embrace in the next moment. Her sister Lucy said "Awwww…" but she ignored her. Soon her mother's arm was around her. Her father opened his arms wider and all the six Pevensie in the room came together in a family hug.

"I will always love and never will a time come when you are not around and I will not miss you all." Susan Pevensie said softly.

Six months later, the same dark-haired girl watched with glassy eyes as one by one five caskets were lowered in the ground, her family asleep in them forever. She wiped her tears and slowly whispered, "I miss you all."
