A/N
So...in between my other two stories, I got this crazy idea for another one. I am planning for this one to be completely different from my other Prince Caspian fic, so we'll see how this goes.
Summary: Five friends find themselves in Narnia during a camping trip. The High King grows a soft spot for the quiet girl of the group, but she only sees Caspian. Caspian, however, only sees Susan. Multiple pairings, with love triangles. Ohhh yea.
You know you love triangles.
Anyways, CON doesn't belong to me...just throwing that out there...even though I have Ben Barnes locked in my closet. Oh...oops, crap...did I just say that? Oh...um...damn.
Anyways, enough of my rambling...onto the first chapter. Enjoy, darlings!
The Chronicles of Dumb Luck
(Prologue)
When five exceptionally bright teens, who happen to be at the top of their class, go camping, you wouldn't expect anything to go wrong, right? Never underestimate the power of brilliance in small doses.
It was June twenty-first. The day was warm and sunny, with a healthy summer breeze sailing through the air. A perfect day for a hike in the hills, right? Well, we seemed to think so…which is where our story shall begin.
My name is Brown…Campbell Brown. Okay, the whole James Bond thing is a little cheesy, but I just couldn't resist. Anyways, it was the summer after we all graduated from high school and we had decided to take a camping trip together before we all went our separate ways to college. I guess before I get too caught up in my storytelling I should introduce the characters of our little tale first.
Meredith and Grace Rinaldi are my two best friends. They're twins, which has proven to make our adventures pretty stellar. Why? Because even though they look identical, they are two completely different girls. Grace is your average tomboy. I mean, sure, she's pretty, but tough as a boot. She's kicked plenty of asses in our time. Not to mention, if you start a debate with her, you're most likely going to lose. Meredith is the exact opposite. She is a modest girl, who always uses her manners and acts the perfect lady. And God forbid she ever has to defend herself…I don't think the girl could hurt a flea. Most of the time Grace has to stand up for her because, bless her heart, she is just too timid.
Bryce Harvey and Rico Cabrera are two other really good friends of mine. Bryce is closest to Grace, but he's been nothing short of a great friend to me and Meredith. We actually have theories that Grace and Bryce like each other, but anytime I've tried to bring the matter up with her, she denies it until she turns blue in the face. That, of course, leads us to believe even more that they are a potential item. Bryce is a pretty nice guy. He's gentle and fun to be around, and tends to be modest like Meredith. But just like most things in nature, you can only push him so far. I saw him get pissed once, and it was a little frightening. Rico in a way gets along better with Meredith than anyone else. That's probably because Meredith is so easy going that he can easily get along with her. He can sometimes be a little anally retentive, and Meredith is the only one who won't tell him off for it. Often he comes off as selfish and stuck on himself, but over the years we've come to realize he doesn't mean it to come across that way.
I am would I would like to call your typical firecracker. If you throw it at me, you're going to get it thrown back at you twenty times harder. I love my friends and I usually go out of my way to care for them, but I won't hesitate to put them in their places if necessary. I also won't hesitate to beat the hell out of you if you mess with any of them. Mess with the bull, and you'll definitely get the horns.
So…you may be wondering why all those little introductions were necessary. Believe me, children, they're necessary. You need to know the character of each of my friends in order to get the most out of this little tale. And let me tell you, my story is one humdinger.
Before I get into the story itself, I want to give you an idea of where we're headed. During our little camping trip, we ended up running into a cavern that, as it turns out, was a portal to Narnia. I'm sure you've heard of it…it's become pretty popular through the great works of C.S. Lewis, and they've even started making a few movies based on those works. Yea, you're probably thinking I'm insane, talking about a fictional world as if it's real. Guess what, bitches. It IS real. The four of us saw it for ourselves firsthand. We saw the world, walked through its lush forests, and interacted with its…inhabitants. We also had an adventure that, as you will soon find out, will last a lifetime.

Alrrrrright...so, do you see any potential? Yes, no, maybe so? Lemme know. ;-)
I'm really hyper...I've been cracked out because I only have five weeks of school left and I want summer to be here really badly. Aaaaand I may have just had some ice cream. ;-)
I'm rambling again...alright...maybe I should stop typing...
Peace,
