Danielle Austen sat at down in the living room, where the TV was currently on. Today was her 79th birthday and her four granddaughters were coming over from America. The woman's hair was as pure as snow and her green eyes still had that golden tint they had many years ago. As she sat there waiting for Anna, Kendall, Doris, and Molly, she thought about her best friend, Susan. She was a wonderful woman but she was always sad. Years ago, she went to America and never came back. Just then, someone knocked on the door. "Come in!" Danielle's hoarse voice said. Her four granddaughters came in. Anna looked just like Danielle did when she was 18; blonde curls, pale skin, and green/gold eyes. Kendall looked just like her father; blonde curls and ocean blue eyes. Doris and Molly were twins with jet black hair and light brown eyes. They all hugged their grandmother and sat in the chairs around her.

"Can you tell us the story about Narnia?" Doris asked curiously; a trait she got from Danielle herself. "You promised you'd tell us about Narnia when we were little."

"Of course I did." Though her memory was fading, she remembered everything about Narnia, just like she was just there yesterday. And she saved it and ruled it. "This story begins when I was only 14. World War II was currently going on and we children thought it would never end. But, the day when I last saw my mother was the most freighting that I've ever had in being in London in my teen years. That day, I was playing tag with one of my dearest friend, Susan Pevensie and her two siblings, Edmund and Lucy…."

"Your it!" Lucy shouted. I laughed as her hand touched my arm. Susan and Edmund were watching us but playing as well. The year was 1940. My name is Danielle Isabelle Marten. I ran around playing tag though it was a children's game. Edmund and Lucy always managed to convince me and Su to play.

Then, after I tagged Susan, who ran after Edmund; who hasn't been it since the start of the game. I ran into a figure. When I looked up, I saw the eldest Pevensie. Peter never joined our games, no matter how much Lucy begged.

"Danni!" I turned around and saw Lucy on Su's back laughing. Edmund was holding his side on the ground laughing. Then, I saw that Peter had been shocked that I ran into him. He probably thought I did it on purpose.

"Watch it Danielle." He said then walked back inside. I imitated him which got a laugh from the other three.

"Danielle!" My mother's voice called up to me. I grabbed my robe, throwing it on as I ran downstairs. Then, I placed the slippers I was carrying on my feet as I followed my mom outside to the Pevensie's bomb shelter. As we got out there, we saw the Pevensies running out toward it as well. I got in right after Helen, Su, and Lu did. My mother sat in a corner holding a necklace daddy gave her before he went off the war along with Daniel, Su's dad.

"I'll get him mum!" I heard Peter's voice yell. Su and Lu were hugging each other, knowing I wasn't a huggy person. Soon, Edmund was nearly thrown into the shelter along with a picture. Peter entered right after him closing the door.

"You could've gotten killed!" Peter yelled at Edmund. "Why can't you ever do what you're told?"

"Peter." His mum said, holding Edmund close to her. He sighed and sat down, leaning his head against the wall as the air raid was going on.

"Peter's a jerk!" Kendall said, but she thought all guys were jerks. Danielle smiled at her youngest granddaughter.

"He turns out to save my life a few times along with Susan and Lucy's. Even Edmund's." Danielle gave away part of the story.

"Aww…" Molly said, being the romantic and the second oldest.

"I still don't like Peter." Kendall remarked.

"Kenny," Doris said, being the second youngest. "If it wasn't for Peter, we wouldn't be here." Danielle laughed, if only they knew how right Doris really was.

"Go on with the story." Anna said, impatient. She was the oldest of the four. Danielle smiled and took a deep breath.

------------------------------------------ MGA ----------------------------------------------------------

"I wish dad were here." Edmund said as Helen was giving us our tickets. "He wouldn't make us go."

"If dad was here," Peter snapped back at him. "We wouldn't have to go." I sighed at the brothers. Helen gave Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and Susan a hug before she got to me.

"Take care Danielle." I hugged her tighter seeing as my mother didn't even come to see me off. She smiled at me before backing away. We five walked toward the train, Susan grabbed all of our tickets and gave them to the ticket woman. We got on the train and found a compartment with only two other small children in it. Peter and Edmund put up our stuff as we sat down. I sat beside Susan and Edmund while Lucy and Peter sat beside the other two children. Soon they got off and it was just us. The train went the countryside where I guessed we were being let off. And I was right. We got ours stop and we just had to wait for Mrs. Mcready.

"Perhaps we were incorrectly labeled." Edmund said looking at the tag around his neck that Helen had placed around his neck at the train station before we left. A car just passed and we had walked down from the platform when we found out, it wasn't for us.

"I doubt that." I said as we heard horse hooves. A woman sat on a roofless carriage. It came to a stop in front of us. The horses were a chocolate brown, like Edmund's eyes.

"Mrs. Mcready?" Peter asked, uncertainly.

"Afraid so." She said. "Is this all your brought?"

"It's just us." I said, beating Peter to it.

"Small package." We all climbed on the carriage with our luggage as we headed to our new home.

"Grandma…" Doris said to the elderly woman. She smiled at her eager granddaughter.

"It's dinner time. Anna, would you please help me?" Danielle got up and went into the kitchen with Anna to cook dinner. Doris, Kendall, and Molly set the table. Molly hoped that her grandmother would continue more of the story before they went to bed.

Author's Note: this is my first story, so please tell me what you think. I kinda got the idea from the Titanic and the Notebook. Danielle is just telling the story of her romance and her time in Narnia. I do not own Chronicles of Narnia; C.S Lewis owns it. If I did, I'd be in Narnia doing who knows what.
