Author's Notes: I wrote this as a response to the first prompt that's being held at 100foraslan; the topic is "sleeping in" with my favourite ship which is of course Susan/Caspian. Although this time, the story takes place during The Voyage of the Dawn Treader after Chapter 12: "The Dark Island" where Caspian and his crew briefly sail where dreams come true (hence where "sleeping in" comes into play).

The title was inspired by the song of the same name by Weezer.
Movie-verse (since I picture Ben Barnes and Anna Popplewell). Not beta-ed.
