Hey guys! This'll be my first fanfic for anything, so I'd love reviews for each chapter with constructive criticism! Please keep in mind that some parts of this fanfic are similar to the movie action and dialogue wise. That'll probably be closer to the beginning of the story, but it'll pass c:

Me writing fanfic was inspired by kelseyelizabethxo and the Narnia series. None of the characters except for a few later on in the story belong to me.

Warning: This fanfic has been rated T for now, but could be changed to rating M. I don't really recommend this to younger viewers, especially if I change the rating. If you continue on, however, and you read something disturbing, it's on your shoulders.

Anyways, on with Chapter 1!

Chapter 1.

Lucy's POV.

Lucy stood in the bottom room of the house. "Uncle Harold? Aunt Alberta? I'm home." She called out to her relatives, who didn't even notice her presence. She wrinkled her nose, trying to contain her anger and frustration before dropping the grocery bags off in the kitchen and stomping upstairs to her room. It had been 2 years since she was last in Narnia and was longing to go back to her real home. She missed everything there. Her friends, Aslan- oh the list was endless! She missed being free to make her choices. She missed living at Cair Paravel. But one of the things she missed the most of all.. was her best friend Caspian. Caspian and Lucy had grown very close during her last visit, even to be best friends. When she had left, she'd miss him dearly. Wanting only to see him again. But back in England, her parents, Susan and Peter had moved to America. Leaving Edmund and Lucy behind with their stinking relatives- including their obnoxious cousin, Eustace.

Lucy walked into her room quietly, closing the door softly. Her room wasn't that nice, but it was the only room in the house that was decorated. A painting hung on the back wall, with a golden carved rim. The painting was of a ship through a storming ocean. She wouldn't of liked it that much if the ship didn't look the way it was. She would always think that the ship looked very Narnian, with the dragons head and the royal purple and gold sails. Edmund and Lucy would often stay in her room and talk about Narnia, wanting to do nothing more than go home. Lucy felt bad for Edmund, having to share a room with Eustace. They'd always bicker.

"Lucy?" A familiar voice called behind her door, soothing but questionable. She smiled and turned around, seeing Edmund with soft eyes at her door step. She flicked her hand, offering for him to come in. He nodded, before walking into her room and sitting on her bed next to her. After a few moments of silence, she broke it.

"Edmund" She began, getting his attention before continuing. "Do you ever think that we'll go back to Narnia?" Lucy asked her brother with a worried expression. Edmund opened his mouth as if to speak, but quickly shut it as they heard a snicker behind him. Lucy mentally groaned as they saw Eustace on her doorstep, smirking.

"Still talking about fairy tales, are you?" He snickered, leaning on the door. "No wonder you're all loony. You should stick to the science"

Edmund raised from the bed, looking at Eustace threateningly. He didn't say anything, so Eustace let himself continue. "Why do you like that painting, anyway? It's god awful" He stated as he folded his arms.

"You won't see it from the other side of the door" Edmund advanced forward, making Eustace jump. "Edmund..." She mumbled, annoyed at her brother for bickering at Eustace. However, Eustace continued arguing back. But she began to pay no attention to the pair of the two as she noticed water dripping slightly from the painting. Her eyes flicked open and she gasped in disbelief as more water started to pour out.

"Edmund!" Lucy said, louder. Edmund continued to argue with Eustace. She whipped around, looking at the two. "Edmund, the painting!" She spoke loudly, pointing towards the water flowing from the painting and onto the bedroom floor. Eustace and Edmund both stopped arguing, taken aback at what she had just said. But there it was before their eyes. Water started to furiously rush out of the painting, making the three children back away from the painting. Lucy turned to her brother and cousin. Eustace looked bewildered whilst Edmund looked the same. "What is this?! Some sort of trick! Stop it! Stop it now!" Eustace yelled as he backed closer towards the door.

However, Lucy and Edmund ignored their annoying cousin. "Lucy-" They looked at each other. "You don't think..." He didn't need to finish his sentence. This was it! Lucy mentally jumped with excitement. "I'll just break the blasted thing" Eustace snorted, before lunging forward towards the painting. "Eustace, no!" Lucy yelped, grabbing his arm as Edmund grabbed his other.

"Let go!" "No!" "Get off me!" Before the three knew it, the painting was on the floor, water still spewing out from the oceans. The ship seemed to be moving now, the royal sails blowing with the wind. The water had come up to their waists now, other items in Lucy's bedroom started to float. "Swim! Eustace, come on!" Lucy said, Edmund chiming in. As the water rapidly gained in amount, the three ducked underwater, holding their breath. Lucy flailed her arms, swimming up for air. The longer she swam for, the more she realized that below her she couldn't see her floor. Above her, she couldn't see the ceiling... but something bright. As she burst to the surface, she instantly realized of the golden Narnian ship heading her way. Panicking, Lucy cried out for her brother and cousin. "Edmund! Eustace?! Are you there?!" She yelled, suddenly gasping with relief as Edmund appeared from under the water holding Eustace by the collar.

"Let go of me! Where are we?! I want to go back to England! I want to go back-" He was cut off as Edmund yelled at him to be quiet. Behind Lucy, she heard splashes coming from the boat. Fearing that they were being attacked, Lucy began to swim back to her brother. She felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist, hoisting her up towards the surface.

"Don't worry. We've got you" Lucy's heart almost skipped as she recognized the familiar warm voice. She turned around and almost cried with joy when she saw who it was.

"Caspian!" She grinned, still struggling to stay afloat the water.

"Lucy." She saw him grin, his eyes filling with adoration as he saw her best friend. In the background, she heard Eustace whining as another man had grabbed him. "Edmund! Edmund, it's Caspian!" Lucy called out to her brother, before swimming with Caspian towards the Narnian ship. A platform seemed to have been lowered from the edge of the ship. Caspian climbed on, extending a hand to Lucy as he pulled her up. Snaking an arm around her waist, the platform began to accelerate towards the dock of the ship. Lucy leaned against Caspian, relieved to be safe and warm with him. She blushed as she realized how he looked. It was true, that during her last visit Lucy had a small crush on him, but now she was older. She had grown more womanly curves and had long hair in curls that went down her back. Yes... he is quite handsome. She thought to herself, before mentally slapping herself for crushing on her best friend.

Shortly after they had arrived on the ship, Eustace and Edmund were brought on board and the trio were given towels to dry off from the freezing cold water. Lucy shivered under her warm towel. After Caspian greeted Edmund with a warm hand shake, he went over to Lucy and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She beamed up at him. I can't believe I'm actually here. In Narnia! "How did you get here?" He asked, looking back at Edmund, following shortly behind. "I have no idea!" Lucy said with a sly grin. "However the matter, I'm glad that you did" Caspian said warmly, squeezing Lucy's shoulder softly. "As are we" Edmund said, stopping Caspian and Lucy in their tracks, smiling. They turned towards the crew, who looked towards them, gathered.

From amongst the crew, Lucy heard Eustace wailing. "Get this thing off me!" As Eustace began to run towards then, she gasped in surprise.

"Reepicheep!" She looked down at the mouse, wanting to do nothing more than hug him. Of course, that would be entirely inappropriate. Since he was a soldier, after all. However, she couldn't help but notice how his expression lifted as he saw Lucy and Edmund in front of them. He gingerly hopped off of Eustace's head and onto the wooden deck. He dipped his head in a swift bow. "Your majesties..."

"Would someone please tell me where the hell I am!" Eustace whined, standing up in a huff. Lucy rolled her eyes secretly, but caught Caspian's sheepish grin as he caught her. "You are aboard The Dawn Treader" Caspian said to the boy, waving his hand, signaling to the ship that they were on. Caspian turned to Edmund and Lucy, before directing the crew.

"Men." He started, grabbing their full attention once more before continuing. "May I present our castaways. Edmund The Just-" He waved a hand to Edmund who nodded with a smile "and Lucy The Valiant" Lucy grinned, curtseying slightly at the whoops and cheers from the crew members. Caspian's gaze lingered on Lucy for a moment, before turning back to the crew. "High King and Queen of Old Narnia" He ended. The crowd erupted into bigger cheers, making Lucy blush under their attention.

"Come. Let me show you around" Caspian offered, placing a warm hand on Lucy's shoulder.
