Eight year old Lucy was beaming. They had just had their cornoation that afternoon. She was laying in bed thinking about her day. She knew that she should be sleeping because being a queen would be hard work but after such an exciting day as she had had who would be able to? She was not Queen Lucy the Valiant. Her family was safe and she had her brother back. Not just back from the White Witch, but back to the way he was before. They way he was before he ever went to that boarding school. The way he was before he had started making fun of her. Before he started pushing Susan's mothering away. Before he started completely resisting anything and everything Peter said and did. He was back to the Edmund that Lucy and her siblings had known and loved for years. This made Lucy very happy. And on top of that she was living a fairytale. She was a real queen! She had always been happy but she did not remember being this happy in a very long time.

At that moment she felt someone come and sit down on the bed next to her. Peter, who else.
He saw her open her eyes and look up at him. "Lucy, don't you think you should be asleep? We have a lot to do tommorow. Today was our coronation, but we still have the banquet and the ball tommorow."

"I know Peter." Lucy sighed, "But I can't sleep. I keep thinking about today and how fun it was. I just keep thinging about us being kings and queens. It seems so impossible. I know I used to like to pretend, but now actually being a queen..."

"Yes, Lucy. It does seem surreal, but it is true. However something tells me this is not going to quite be all a fairytale. There will be problems, none as bug as what we just went through, but I think they will help us realize that this is not a fairytale, but real life."

"Peter?"

"Yes Lucy, what is it?"

"Will you stay here until I go to sleep? It feels weird to be here alone in this big room."

"Of course Lucy," Peter replied.
So Peter said there for about half an hour as his little sister went to sleep and they both felt more joy than either had in a long time.

A/N: This is shorter than the last few that I have written, but I just had this idea. I may expand upon it later. Constructive criticism welcome in reviews. In all honesty it is appreciated.
