Have you ever tried to get back there? This was quite possibly the most ignorant question that Lucy had heard her sister ask, of course she had tried to get back hadn't they all?
"Well…Yes, I have but Aslan told us that nothing happens the same way twice, don't you remember that, Susan?" Lucy said exasperatedly.
"But this just proves it then doesn't it?" Susan said, idly turning the page of the newspaper she had propped open. "And above all Lucy, it was just a dream."
Lucy groaned inwardly and gazed longingly out of the window, it had been just over a week since Susan and Peter had returned from America and with it brought the stories of parties and many love interests for Susan, but soon they got bored of that and Edmund and Lucy told their older siblings about their adventures in Narnia. Susan disregarded these stories, claiming every word they uttered about Narnia must have been from fairy tales their aunt had been telling them. Narnia was not real.
But Peter was intrigued by these stories; he was fascinated by how Caspian was and how Narnia was living in harmony once again. Peter, after hearing these stories had taken it upon him to check the wardrobes in the house much to Susan's dismay.
"I really wish Peter would stop putting these ideas in your head…" Susan mumbled, putting down the newspaper and gazing at Lucy. "I mean he is an adult after all, he shouldn't be wasting his time with fairy tales and places that don't exist." Lucy watched her sister for the slightest glimmer in her eyes, the glimmer that used to come when she spoke about Narnia, but it had long gone. "He should find himself a girlfriend, get a job and get on with his life…"
It was common knowledge that Susan thought Peter was going to end up alone and unemployed, she believed him to be utterly crazy, almost as crazy as she believed Edmund and Lucy to be.
"You two aren't fighting again are you?" Peter's voice sounded from the hallway "I bought carrots for the soup tonight." He soon appeared in the doorway holding brown paper bags and soaking wet, shaking his hair from his eyes he grinned at his sisters who simply glared back at him.
"I wish you'd all stop playing pretend."
