A/N: Disclaimer: I don't own Narnia, books or movies, or anything to do with it, I just own Lily and the plot :)

So here's the back story: This is Movie Verse and AU.

Caspian has a sister who escaped with him the night his cousin was born. Her name is Liliana, but she's called Lily. She's a few months younger than Edmund.

This is set 1 year after the events of the Voyage of The Dawn Treader. At the end of the Prince Caspian movie, I'm just going to pretend that the Pevensies stayed longer than they did, about 3 months or so. The events of that time will probably unfold as the story goes on, but for now just assume the kiss did happen between Caspian and Susan. Let's just say that the time between PC and VODT was 3 years in Narnia and England. Oh and Reepiceep didn't leave for Aslan's Country, I just loved him so he's here to stay for this story, he might not appear a lot but he's here.

I think that about covers everything for now, so let's get on with the story...

1st Chapter

Lily pushed back her shoulders and stood up straighter as she took a deep calming breath. She hated these grand balls, where, just because she was not courting anyone, every man felt the need to examine her like a piece of meat. She shook her head. There was no point in getting worked up. She had a duty as a Queen to serve Narnians and whether she liked it or not these balls fell into that category.

"Are you all right your Majesty?" Lily looked around for the familiar voice before finally finding the owner.

"Yes, thank you Reep." Lily smiled gratefully, Reepicheep was always a reliable friend and comrade. "You know these events are not among my favourite activities."

"Ah yes, but you do so very well, and I daresay everyone has admiration for their young Queen." Reepicheep praised, never afraid of complimenting his friends.

"Particularly the men." Lily looked around to find her brother grimacing at the thought.

"Yes, well, you of all people should know by now that I don't give them much time." She laughed.

"She's right, my King," Reepicheep added.

"Quite like Queen Susan during the Golden Age if I'm not mistaken." Truffle hunter said as he joined the conversation. Lily smiled inwardly as her friends joined them, waiting in the Entrance Hall, she was very appreciative of the support, but couldn't help but miss the friends who weren't there.

She saw a brief look of hurt, yes that was the right word, flash across Caspian's face. The same look that occurred every time the topic of Susan was brought up.

"Yes well…" Lily tried to change the topic, sighing inwardly, both she and DLF had come to the conclusion that Susan was the very reason that Caspian had not yet taken a Queen.

"I wonder what the Pevensies' life is like now? Do you suppose they're married yet?" Reepicheep wondered out loud.

"I…"Lily started but couldn't finish, it was so ridiculous, she should be hopeful that they are happy, not hoping that they would be here.

"Your Majesties? The guests are waiting." A voice called. As quickly as they gathered, Lily's friends dispersed into the ballroom, leaving Caspian and Lily alone behind the grand double doors.

Lily snuck a glance at Caspian, who was staring at the door, with his jaw set, no doubt trying to rid his mind of Susan. Lily didn't blame him, it was obvious they were perfect for each other, and that kiss must haunt him, maybe that was why she was half glad that nothing had happened on the Dawn Treader…

She was pulled from her thoughts when it finally registered that her name was being announced, "Her Majesty Queen Liliana of Narnia."

She forced a smile onto her lips and raised her head as she entered the great room. She noticed a lot of friends and acquaintances among the large crowd. She stood aside as her brother was introduced and strode into the room, with an royal yet humble aura surrounding him. She shared a knowing smile with him as the memory of the first time they were announced.


Caspian and Lily entered the grand room, the butterflies in Lily's stomach seemed to be increasing as it finally hit her. She was Queen. Caspian walked off with Peter,surley to talk politics with other officials, Susan accepted an offer to dance, though Lily didn't miss the look she gave Caspian as she was swept away, and Lucy too joined the dancing. It was only then that she noticed she was alone with Edmund.

"You okay?" He asked, in hushed tones from beside her

"Yeah, I think so." She said, somewhat unsure, as she gazed around at the scene.

"You'll do great you know." Edmund smiled, one of the few genuine smiles she had ever saw him wear. They both knew that he wasn't just talking about dancing but the duty that now sat atop her head, embodied in her crown. "Of course I'll have to teach you everything I know, otherwise you'll be hopeless." He smirked teasingly.

"Good to know your ego's still in check then." Lily teased back.

His eyes seemed to laugh,"Of course."

A comfortable silence fell over the two, before Lily sighed, "I feel like everyone's watching me."

"They are." Edmund said matter-of-factly.

"Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better."

"Well you lo-"

"Well you are the new Queen, your Majesty, and you are talking to one of the monarchs of the Golden Age, it does cause quite a bit of interest." Reepicheep, having heard the Queen's agitated comment came to reassure her.


Lily could remember exactly how Ed's eyes would light up when he laughed, the last she had saw them though, they were filled with something different, regret. She sighed as she tried in vain to exile the thoughts of Edmund's captivating eyes from her mind, he could be married right now.

She was currently dancing with possibly the worst dancer she had ever come to dance with. He had stepped on her toes one too many times now, and had absolutely no sense of rhythm. She smiled gladly when a young man, roughly her age stepped in and took his turn.

"Pleased to meet you, Your Majesty," He said.

"I think the pleasure's all mine." She smiled. "Sir…?" she trailed off waiting for his name.

"Nothing, my name's Cameron,Your Majesty. I'm from the local village, I took care of Destrier when he was lame and so the Kind opened an invitation to me." He politely explained.

"How very kind of you," Lily responded.

As the song came to an end, Lily became regretful, Cameron had been very polite and talkative, and had made wonderful company. Then she noticed the look on his face as he looked over her shoulder. She could recognize that look anywhere. It was the one Caspian had worn the entire time Susan had been around.

"She's the reason you took up the invitation isn't she?" Lily asked gently, watching his attention streamline back to her, a girl around their age who was talking amicably to some other guests across the hall.

"Pardon?" He asked.

Lily smiled, "The girl you were looking at."

"I…No…" Cameron stuttered out.

Lily took pity on the infatuated boy and turned to lead him outside away from the prying eyes of the guests.

"I mean no insult, Your Majesty, I shouldn't dance with you if I'm emotionally involved with someone else.. I know...…"

Lily interrupted him before he could continue. "Believe me it's fine." She stated simply. "It's actually refreshing to have someone who isn't just after my crown" she smiled.

"Oh no I would never!-" Cameron started.

"Please. I know it's okay." She reassured the young man. "So what's her name?" She missed having someone her age to talk to.

But Cameron never got to tell her for a faun came running out to them, "Your Majesty, you're wanted urgently in the library, you must go directly, Aslan has asked."

Aslan! Lily's mind raced with ideas of why Aslan would call them, each one worse than the next, what if something was wrong? She immediately excused herself, and raced back to the hall to find Caspian, she saw him at then entrance and tried to race over as quickly as she could while still maintaining an air of grace and composure, and as to not alert the attention of the crowd. She saw her own fears and doubts reflected in her brothers eyes.

"What's going on?" She questioned.

"I don't know, all I know is Aslan is waiting for us, just us, with important information. The faun sounded scared to me."

"Okay, then what are we waiting for?" She said as she stepped past the guards stationed at the door and hurried into a half run. As she rushed past, one of them handed her her sword, she always made sure it was in close proximity to her, she always felt defenseless without it and her guard was more than willing to mind it for her for the duration of the ball.

"Bloody dresses…!" Lily mumble angrily to herself as she fixed her sword properly to her waist and pulled a dagger from her stockings, while trying to maintain balance in her long dress. She maneuvered the halls with ease, having spent nearly more time in the library than in her bedroom, she knew the way like the back of her hand.

"What do you think is wrong Caspian?" She asked her brother who had rushed into the library ahead of her. "I mean even the Giants have agreed to peace, I don't think…unless... those Calmoren gentry were looking at me weirdly you know, do you think they'll start a war because I rejected them…oh bother, " She ranted a she followed him into the library.

"It's not the first time arguments have been caused because of a Queen's rejection." Lily whipped her head up from her sheath when she heard, no she must have heard wrong, for she thought, had hoped, for one fleeting second that it was Peter's voice. However, her hearing was not wrong, yet she couldn't quite grasp the scene she saw in front of her.

There in their library, stood the Kings and Queens of Old. Peter was leaning on a desk, Lucy and Susan were both seated in the lush chairs and Edmund stood regarding Lily's book that she had been reading.

She gaped at the sight of her family, for they had to be considered more than friends by now, standing in her library in what she assumed was school uniforms, for they were odd clothes that were all matching.

She tried to force words out but none came.

"Hello." Edmund's voice broke though her glazed stare, and seemed to tip her world on edge, how could they be standing in front of her.

"You're back." She stated simply, her words weighed down by buried emotion as she took in the sight of her family whom she had waited for longingly, that were now home.


A/N: So, I'd like to know what you all think, this is just an idea I had so I'm not sure if it's any good or not, feedback would be great! Hope you enjoyed it :)
