One day, High King Peter and his sister, Queen Susan, where strolling through the gardens of their Palace, Cair Paravel, chatting about the latest fashions…. well, the Queen did most of the talking while the High King did most of the nodding and making sounds of agreement.

"I was thinking that I would get the –" Susan stopped abruptly when she noticed Peter had stopped walking.

"What is it?" She asked him. She looked over to see what Peter was looking at only to see Edmund sleeping on a bench.

"Susan, do you have lipstick with you?" asked Peter.

"Of cores I do! When have you known me not to have any?" She asked back.

"Could I see it? I need it really quick."

"What, in Aslan's name, do you need it for?" She asked already digging in the bag that she always carried with her for her shinny red lipstick.

"Just for… something." Peter smiled a bit as she handed him her beloved makeup.

"Thanks, Su," Peter kissed her on the cheek. "Why don't you go on a head. I'll catch up to you later."

Susan nodded and went on ahead.

Peter, on the other hand, walk over to King Edmund and sat next to him on the bench. Peter took out his knife and took off the lid to Susan's lipstick and to a small piece off of the top and put it on Edmunds right index finger. Next Peter grabbed a long thing of grass and touched the end of it to the top of his brother's lip. In response, Edmund lifted his right hand and with his index finger, smeared glossy red lipstick to his top lip.

Peter did this again and again until it looked like Edmund had been in a heated make out session with a girl with bright red lipstick. Peter cleaned his knife and put it away and recapped the lipstick and stuck it in his pocket.

Peter heard a racket in the tree standing next to him and saw two squirrels bickering about a nut that was sitting between them. This gave Peter an even better idea.

Peter nudged Edmund in the side, "Edmund, wake up! You have a job to do!"

Edmund bolted up right, "What? What is it?"

Peter nodded toward the tree, "Squirrels are bickering again."

Edmund sighed, "Alright."

Edmund stood up and started to clime the tree, "Hey, you guys! What seems to be the trouble?" Edmund asked them as soon as he was at a comfortable place.

"He's trying to take my nut!" cried a squeaky sounding squirrel.

"It's not yours! I found it first! It should-" the other squirrel stopped the protest and whispered in it's ear.

Both squirrels looked at the Just King in amusement. "Never mind, I don't need the nut. He can have it." said the second squirrel.

"Me neither." said the first.

Edmund looked at them in bewilderment, "You guys are friends now?"

Both squirrels nodded.

Edmund looked at them oddly and started to climbed down and they looked at him in amusement in return.

Once Edmund reached the ground the squirrels called out, "King Edmund!"

Edmund looked up and both the squirrels put their paws over their mouths and made a kissing sound.

Realization dawned on Edmund and he ran over to the nearest fountain and looked at his reflection. Edmund turned to Peter still sitting on the bench laughing hysterically, "You think your funny don't you! Well you're not!"

Edmund turned and ran for Cair to wash of the lipstick.
