This was one of my stories that I put under consideration. I only wanted to post the first chapter to see how people would respond to it. If I don't get any positive feedback I'll just delete this. Feel free to review. I'm writing this story because I couldn't stop thinking about this plot bunny.

Disclaimer: Most of you who read my stories might know that I like to borrow scenes from various movies and shows. Well this plot bunny came to me when I saw my favorite scenes from "George Lopez Show", "Ice Age", "The Mummy", and "Tristan and Isolde." I know I have a weird mind. I don't own any of these things. I don't own Narnia or its characters. I don't own the five talented actors and actresses who play Caspian and the Pevensies. I only own this plot, which isn't much.

For the record, I'm still putting in songs. It's just for my pleasure.

Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two Worlds, one family
Trust your heart, let fate decide, to guide these lives we see

A paradise untouched by man, within this world blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace

Softly tread the sand below your feet now
Two Worlds, one family
Trust your heart, let fate decide, to guide these lives we see

-"Two Worlds" by Phil Collins

Chapter 1:

It was a beautiful day in Narnia. Nothing was out of the ordinary. All of the creatures were happy and King Caspian the tenth, made sure of it. His life was good so far. He had a great wife, a happy kingdom, and a wonderful son who was soon to take the throne. Everyone in Narnia was happy, except for the most important person in all of Narnia.

Aslan was in his country watching over everything that happened from Caspian, to the Narnians, to the Pevensies. He wasn't exactly happy with a few things. Sure, Narnia was living in a second golden age, but that wasn't what the problem was. Rilian was soon to take the throne and yet a small part of him was hidden by his own mother. Aslan didn't know whether it was time to tell the boy or not to tell at all. If he told Rilian or Caspian, then their relationship with Ramandu's daughter could be put into jeopardy. If he didn't tell at all, the family would live happily, but Rilian would never know one of the important things missing from his life. No. Aslan had made his decision. He was going to tell them the truth behind everything.

In England, things weren't exactly going smooth sailing for the Pevensie four. Though many years had passed in Narnia time, only six months had gone for the Pevensies and what a long six months it was. A lot of events happened and not many were happy ones. Their father's return had been joyous but it wasn't until after, that it had made a turn for the worse.

Their father had come back from war and the children were happy. They were a whole family again. They may have been physically whole, but emotionally one of them was drifting apart. Susan had tried to forget Narnia only because it was too painful to remember. Everytime she almost forgot, one of her siblings had said something about Narnia to make her remember. She was so close to forgetting but her siblings always made sure that the gentle queen they knew would always be there. That was only one of their problems and it wasn't as serious as the second.

The four Pevensies didn't know why things were happening so fast but it was. Their parents had died in a car accident and it wasn't until an hour after their deaths did they find out. They did inherit enough money from the will but it wasn't enough to support everything they needed. Both Peter and Susan were old enough to take custody of Lucy and Edmund but their Aunt Alberta and Uncle Harold thought it be best if they stayed with them during the summer breaks since their lived in their boarding school during the year. Susan had dropped out of school to work and make money to support the family. Peter stayed in college but couldn't afford to dorm there, so he would come home to Susan and help her around the house after classes. Things were no longer simple for the Pevensies.

In Narnia, Rilian's coronation was slowly approaching. He was excited about being the new king but he decided to brush up on his history. Usually professor Cornelius would be the one to teach him like he did with Rilian's father but he had passed away a while ago. His father did have special books made by Aslan which showed the actual events that happened (it was like actually watching the movie, it narrated itself). Rilian sat with his mother and father and a few other close friends of Caspian and the Pevensies who wanted to watch. Each scene was a new one with each turned page. They watched Lucy stumble into the wardrobe, Edmund trapped in the White Witch's lair, Peter being knighted as Sir Peter Wolfsbane, and Susan make her first kill by shooting the dwarf ready to kill Edmund. They heard famous quotes like "When Adam's flesh and Adam's bone sits at Cair Paravel in throne, the evil time will be over and done." Everyone's favorite part was probably the coronation of the kings and queens.

"To the Glistening Eastern Sea, I give you Queen Lucy…The Valiant"
"To the Great Western Wood, King Edmund…The Just"
"To the Radiant Southern Sun, Queen Susan…The Gentle"
"And to the Clear Northern Sky, I give you King Peter…The Magnificent"

Aslan's voice was proud and booming when he was announcing the four monarchs. They saw the four of them chasing the white stag and their older versions. They saw them stumble back through the wardrobe to a world they no longer called home and that was the end of their first journey, book one.

Of course, there was always a sequel. How else did Caspian come to power? With the help of these four monarchs of old, he was able to claim his rightful throne. Rilian was most intrigued by this one. He had heard oral stories of how his father came to power but he never got a chance to actually see it. Caspian was just glad to be re-visiting some old memories, especially the small flirts with Narnia's Genlte Queen. This book was different from the first because, it was dark, cynical, and a lot more dangerous than the first ever was.

Most of the Narnians who were watching this also enjoyed reliving memories. Some actually fought alongside the famous five monarchs. They had now seen everything; Peter's fight at the subway, Caspian's flee from the castle, Trumpkin almost being drowned, Lucy's dreams of Aslan, Edmund destroying the White Witch for the last time, and Susan leading her army of archers. Of course, the flirtations weren't missed. Ramandu's daughter tried not to show how uncomfortable she was seeing the gentle queen help her husband aim a crossbow and all the other moments they had. There was the first encounter, the crossbow lesson, the castle raid, the white witch, and the time when Caspian helped Susan and Lucy prepare to find Aslan. That one did not go easily missed.
"Good luck."
"Thanks."
"Look, maybe it's time you had this back."
"Why don't you hold onto it. You might need to call me again."

Rilian was amazed at the skills Susan had with her legendary bow and arrows. She killed several Telmarine soldiers so Lucy could find Aslan. She was knocked down but was saved by Prince Caspian. That moment also did not go easily missed.
"You sure you don't need that horn?"

The battle was intense, everything was well thought out. Peter's duel ended with him slightly bruised but managed to buy some time for Lucy and Susan. The archers had perfect hits and not a single arrow hit the ground. The battle raged on until the trees came by the help of Aslan. Then there was the water spirit, the parade around Narnia, the coronation, and of course the depressing leave. Ramandu's daughter tried not to cry at the sight of Caspian kissing then embracing the Gentle Queen of old. The other Narnians and Caspian watching didn't notice her. They just watched the beautiful memory. Caspian was even smiling.

Rilian saw how fast his father had fallen in love with this woman. She looked gentle as her title said, caring, graceful and everything you could want in woman. Rilian wondered how different his life would be if she was his mother. He had no idea how closely accurate he was until Aslan stood in front of all of them with a third book, the book that held the truth about Rilian and his mother.

It's so easy to get lost inside, a problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide, it swallows you whole
While you're sitting 'round thinking 'bout what you can't change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count, cause you can't get it back

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing, is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever, is in your hands
And when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else, seem So Small

-Second verse and chorus of "So Small" by Carrie Underwood

Hey so here is chapter one of my new story. Before you review me with either positive feedback or negative comments, please just hear me out. First, this is AU which means I won't be always following the books. Second, please do not give rude comments on how I borrow scenes from different places. If you read my profile page, I told you I don't have a wonderful imagination. I only borrowed because these were my favorite scenes and they looked good all put into one. Lastly, the book I imagined Rilian reading is like the book from the movie "Treasure Planet." Watch Treasure Planet part one to find out what I am talking about. I may or may not continue. You have to tell me if I should.
