Author's Note: This story will be the first in a trilogy. It starts off around four years after the Voyage of the Dawn Treader and the Silver Chair in the Narnia cannon and starts off during Kingdom Hearts right before Neverland in the KH cannon. Lastly, I should state that I do not own any non-original characters in this story. I hope you all enjoy this Narnia/Kingdom Hearts crossover!

The Kingdom Hearts Chronicles

The Knife and the Key

Chapter 1: Lucy Makes a Wish

Lucy Pevensie awoke to the sound of an owl hooting outside of her bedroom window. She quietly slipped out of bed and walked towards the window sill to stare at the owl. It was quite large for an owl that lived in the city but Lucy wasn't frightened by its large size. She had seen much larger and more frightening creatures before. She opened the window and yet the owl continued to stand there. She softly petted it for a few seconds until it flew off into the night in search of food. Lucy took in a deep breath of air before closing the window.

"I have to say that it's pretty cold for a night in the middle of June," she said to herself as she walked over to her bed. She sat down and proceeded to stare at a picture of herself when she was younger. The picture had been taken in 1940, six years previously, when she was only eight years old. A lot had happened that year. The raids on London by the Nazis, Lucy being forced to evacuate the city alongside her siblings: Peter, Susan, and Edmund, and then...her discovery of a magical world that lay just beyond an odd wardrobe in a professor's country estate. She cherished the memories of her time in the land of Narnia more than anything. She longed to ride through the woods in the summertime. She wished she could sing alongside the fauns and the dryads once more. She wished she could sit on the bow of the Dawn Treader and ride out to the Lone Islands to once again walk barefoot on Felimath. But, probably, the thing she missed the most about Narnia was the Great Lion Aslan. She missed him dearly and longed to see his face, feel his fur, and hear his voice. She could still remember the moment when she stood at the edge of the world alongside her brother, Edmund, and cousin, Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and was told the heartbreaking news that she and Edmund would never return to Narnia. Eustace, however, got to return to Narnia a couple months later alongside his classmate, Jill Pole. Lucy could still remember when she first talked with Eustace over the phone about his recent adventure in Narnia. However, neither Eustace nor Jill had been to Narnia since.

As Lucy lay back down on her bed, she thought about all the things that had happened recently. The war had ended the previous year and things had begun to improve. Lucy lived with her parents and Edmund in a new home located in a small suburban sector of London. Peter was off at school whilst studying alongside Professor Digory Kirke, who had sadly fallen into a state of bankruptcy recently but was gradually getting some of his wealth back. Susan, meanwhile, was living in America and attending school as well. Susan often talked about how she had begun a relationship with a young American named Keith O'Donnell, who was the son of a soldier. Mr. and Mrs. Pevensie had met Keith before and said that he was a fine, young man worthy of Susan's attention. Lucy felt happy that Susan was having a productive stay over in America but Lucy could honestly say that it was obvious that Susan had pushed her days in Narnia behind her. Lucy always had a feeling that Susan truthfully preferred to be an adult on Earth rather than a queen in Narnia. Thankfully, Peter and Edmund hadn't forgotten about Narnia and often reflected back on the years they had spent ruling over that majestic country. Edmund once traveled out to visit Peter at Professor Kirke's house and the three of them had talked for hours on end about Narnia. Through Professor Kirke, Lucy befriended a friend of his named Polly Plummer. She was a kind woman who, like the Professor, had once traveled to Narnia many years previously, right after the turn of the century. Lucy built a strong friendship with her and currently knew her as Aunt Polly rather than Ms. Plummer. Eustace and Jill occasionally traveled to Aunt Polly's house with Lucy and the four of them would share countless stories of Narnia. Jill was probably had the most questions out of the four of them, probably due to her limited experience in the world of Narnia. Lucy was always happy to tell Jill a story of the Golden Age of Narnia and Jill was always glad to hear the tale of how Lucy and her siblings helped Caspian X ascend to the throne of Narnia following the defeat of the Telmarines. Yes, things were certainly good for the most part...and yet Lucy couldn't help but feel sad. She missed Narnia and, more importantly, she missed Aslan.

"Aslan...are you there?" she whispered. "Can you hear me?" There was no response and Lucy could only sigh with slight annoyance. It had been a long four years since her permanent departure from Narnia. Lucy rolled over on her side and looked up at the night sky through her bedroom window. The moon shone brightly but most of the stars in the sky were blotted out by slight light pollution. Lucy's eyes widened as a shooting star shot across the sky. "I guess I better make a wish." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "I wish...I wish I could see Aslan again. I wish I could see Narnia again. Just once more. I wish I could just have one last adventure."

Lucy then smiled and opened her eyes again as the star flew off towards the night horizon. She then closed her eyes again and fell asleep.

It's debatable whether or not shooting stars actually hold the magical power of granting wishes, but one thing is for certain. Even though Lucy believed that her wish probably wouldn't come true, her call would be answered; for at that moment a multicolored ship filled with a few odd passengers was making its way straight for her world.
