AN: Ok, I'm not entirely sure about this one… I got the idea after watching The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for about the billionth time and noticing the way Edmund and Lucy don't really seem like siblings and Caspian and Lucy have definitely got something between them… (It might also have something to do with the Lucmundpian Youtube videos I keep on seeing…) I'm giving you the first chapter and I hope you can review it and see if you want me to continue. Also, Lucy is Narnian but after the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, got taken to Edmund, Peter and Susan's world, then stayed in Narnia after Prince Caspian. Right, background over: let's get on with it!

Chapter 1

Lucy rolled her shoulders in delight at the sun streaming down its golden rays upon her. She glanced over the side of the dragon boat and gasped. She whirled around.

"Caspian! Caspian! Look! It's Edmund!" she cried, then clambered up onto the side and leapt in. She heard a splash come immediately after hers and she giggled, then swam after Edmund.

"Lucy!"

"Edmund!" she answered and the two hugged, their feet kicking desperately in an effort to stay afloat. She grabbed hold of his arm and swam off towards the side of the boat, where the men pulled her and Edmund up. She hugged the boy and turned as Caspian was pulled up, holding a squirming boy.

"Who's this?" Caspian asked, the disgust showing in his voice as the boy shrieked. Edmund made a face.

"Sorry about him. He's my cousin, Useless- I mean Eustace." he said and took one of the towels a sailor handed him.

"How did you get here?" Lucy asked, excitedly. Edmund smiled and pointed at Eustace.

"It's his fault really. There was this painting of water and this ship was on it. Eustace came in and started mocking me, because I inadvertently told him it looked like Narnian ship, when the water leaked out of the painting! There was loads of foam from the sea and he yelled at me and grabbed the painting. Well I grabbed him and suddenly the painting was on us and then I'm here! Oh, you have no idea how much I've wanted to come back here!" he said and smiled at Lucy and Caspian. Lucy beamed back and Caspian moved towards Lucy, a little jealously.

"Stop it! Stop it!" Eustace cried and Edmund, Lucy and Caspian all turned, puzzled, towards him.

"Stop what, Eustace?" Lucy asked gently.

"Playing with my mind! I want to go back to England right NOW!" he yelled. A passing sailor frowned.

"England? Where's that?" he asked.

"Yeah, sounds like a fairytale to me." A minotaur cut in. Eustace turned, stared at the minotaur and fainted dead away. Lucy sighed.

"Oh dear. I suppose we should have warned him…"

"Rynelf! Get over here! I want two cabins prepared! Fit for Kings of Narnia!" Caspian yelled and bowed slightly to Edmund. Edmund laughed and bowed to him back.

"How thankful I am for your hospitatilty, your majesty!" he cried and the two boys laughed. Then Edmund's face grew serious.

"Did you call us? Is Narnia in trouble?"

"No!" Caspian cried "There's peace everywhere! In fact, due to the peace I have gone on a trip to find out seven Lords: friends of my father's Miraz exiled. Come. I've got it all explained out in my cabin."

Edmund inspected the map in front of him and let his eyes wander up to where Lucy stood. She looked beautiful, the evening light was falling on her and lit her up like an angel. Edmund forced his attention back to Caspian as Caspian began talking.

"My father had seven trusted friends and advisors. When he died, Miraz tried to get rid of them. But they fled before he could. No one has heard of them since. I think it is my job to bring them back." Caspian said and Edmund felt a small stab of jealousy as Lucy looked up and smiled admiringly at Caspian. Edmund wished Lucy would smile like that to him. Like she did before- No! Edmund frowned slightly. It was stupid thinking like that. Lucy had made her choice to stay in Narnia. To stay with Caspian. Edmund would honour that. Edmund smiled.

"An honourable mission. But why am I here? And why is Usel- I mean Eustace?"

"Don't be mean, Ed. I'm sure Aslan will tell us when the time is right." Lucy said, then she turned. "I'm going to check on him. See if his seasickness is any better." then she swept out leaving the two boys staring after her. Edmund glanced away first. He looked down at the table, then across to Caspian. Suddenly, with out thinking he asked

"Have you married her yet?" then looked surprised that he said what he had just said. Caspian looked surprised too, then shook his head.

"No. I haven't asked her, either. I was going to after this voyage." he said and Edmund looked away, biting his lip. He forced a smile.

"I'm happy for you." he said and smiled properly. Caspian looked confused for a few moments then smiled too.

"Come on, Ed. I want to show you around!" he said and put a brotherly arm over his friend's shoulders.

Please do tell me if you think I should continue. I'm still not sure about it, but hey. I just want to know from people who actually read it.
