Come On Then

It was a normal day in Cambridge, Lucy, ED, and I were out doing groceries, and as usual Ed wandered off. Lucy went to go find him. Once I was done grabbing out the food, I went looking for Lucy and Ed.

"Squirt?" I heard Ed say from afar, "I'm a king! I've fought wars and- led armies!"

I caught up to them and said,

"Not in this world, Ed."

"Yeah, instead I'm stuck here, battling Eustace Clarence Scrubb." He said, helping me pack the groceries on the bike. We turned to see Lucy pulling her hair behind her ear in a flirtatious way.

"What are you doing?" Ed asked.

"Oh, Nothing." She said. She turned to the bike and started pulling it away, saying, "Come on then." And we followed.

It's From Susan

We finally got to the house, holding the groceries. Lucy walked in, followed by Ed and me, saying,

"We're home! Hello?"

We went through the hall and Lucy went to the kitchen, setting down the groceries on the table.

"Hello Uncle Harold," she said, "I tried to find carrots, but all they had were turnips… again."

"Should we start making soup?" I asked, and still he sat there, reading his newspaper. Ed helped me get my coat off and I helped him.

"Oh, and Aunt Beth is on her way." Lucy said, "UNCLE HAROLD!" She complained.

And still, he sat there, reading on. I rolled my eyes and Ed stuck his tongue out at him.

"FATHER!" someone yelled from behind us, "Edmund is making faces at you!"

I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him. He shot a spit ball at my neck and then Ed went chasing after him shouting,

"NO ONE DOES THAT TO MY GIRLFRIEND! YOU HEAR!" I rolled my eyes and then Lucy came out with a letter in her hands, saying,

"Ed! Alice! Look." I looked, as did Edmund, "It's from Susan!"

Are We In Narnia?

We went up to mine and Lucy's room to read the letter away from Eustace. Ed and I sat on my bed; Ed then stood up and walked up to the painting on the wall.

"I hope you don't mind a few more months in Cambridge." Lucy finished. Ed walked over to here and took the letter in his hands.

"How will we survive?" I asked dramatically falling on my bed, followed by Ed. we laid next to each other, reading the letter to ourselves.

"You guys are lucky," he said "You have your own room, while I have to share one with mullet mouth."

"Guys?" Lucy asked, "Do you think I look anything like Susan?" She always asked that to me. Ed changed the subject by saying, "Have you guys ever seen this painting before?" and getting off the bed.

"Yes, it's quite Narnian looking isn't it?" Lucy replied.

"Just another reminder that we're here and not there." I said, getting up from the bed and walking over to Ed, having him pull his arm around my waist. Then the door opened.

"There once were three orphans who wasted their time believing in Narnian nursery rhymes," Eustace mocked us. Edmund glared.

"Please let me hit him," he said. I held him back.

"No," I said.

"Don't you ever knock?" Edmund demanded.

"It's my house. I can do as I please. You're just guests," he said. Edmund turned back to the painting and I tried to ignore him. "What's so fascinating about that picture anyway? It's hideous."

"You won't see it from the other side of the door," Edmund said calmly.

"Edmund, it looks like the water's actually moving," Lucy said lightly, smiling as she watched the painting.

"What rubbish, see? That's what happens when you read all those fanciful novels on useless fairytales of yours!" Eustace complained.

"There once was a boy called Eustace who read books full of facts that were useless," Edmund mocked sending a smirk my way.

"People who read fairytales are always the sorts that become a hideous burden to people like me, who read books on real information!" Eustace protested and Edmund turned around. Oh no, here we go again.

"Hideous burden? I haven't seen you lift a finger since we got here!" Edmund yelled. "Edmund! The painting!" I yelled. Edmund slammed the door, closing off the only exit besides the window. "I have half a mind to tell your father that it was you who stole Aunt Alberta's sweets!" I heard Ed yell at Eustace.

"Liar," Eustace said but Edmund saw right through him.

"Oh really? I found them under your bed. And do you know what? I licked every one of them," Edmund said cockily.

"Oh, I'm infected with you!" Eustace cried out in disgust. Water sprayed on Lucy and I then Ed turned to us saying,

"Do you think?"

We all shared knowing smiles and Eustace started freaking out. We ignored him. The water started pouring out more and more. Then, Eustace attempted to smash the painting. We immediately stopped him and it clattered to the ground as water quickly filled the room. Edmund and I tried to resurface. We swam upwards towards the light, and then we noticed that the furniture of the room was no longer around us. We finally made it to the surface. Turning around, I saw the ship from the picture heading towards us and we all started swimming quickly.

"Edmund, Alice! It's Caspian!" I heard Lucy yell and then I turned to see several men in the water, one of which was Caspian.

"It's alright lad, you're safe now," the one closest to us said.

"Are we in Narnia?" Ed asked hopefully. The man laughed cheerfully. "Yes, you're in Narnia,"
