A/N: Hey guys and gals! Here's another fan fic from yours truly. I hope you enjoy it. I do not own The Chronicles of Narnia; C.S. Lewis is the mastermind behind it.

Into the Wardrobe

"I don't see why I have to go, too." I seriously do not enjoy train travel, so when Mother said that I was going to go with her best friend's children to stay in the countryside and that we'd be travelling by train, that was the response she got out of me. "We live on the outskirts of town and no one even close to us has been bombed yet."

"Yet being the operative word. Danielle, I know how you feel about trains, but I won't put you in danger by keeping you here," my mother said looking drained. "Please, just cooperate."

"If Dad was here..." I stopped in my tracks not wanting to finish that sentence.

"He would still make you go; you'd just not be afraid of trains."

"He told me to take care of you while he's gone. He always did. If you send me away, I can't do as he told me to."

Mother wrapped me in a hug. "You are so much like him. I'll be fine. Mrs. Pevensie is going to be staying with me, so I won't be alone. We'll take care of each other. Just like you and the Pevensie children will need to."

I nodded. "Yes, Mum."

"Now, chin up and put a smile on. They'll be here to pick us up soon."

Almost right after I had finished packing, the doorbell rang and I heard my mother say, "Come in, come in. It's good to see you again, Peter, Lucy, Susan, Edmund. Margaret, thank you again for coming to pick us up."

"It's no trouble at all," Mrs. Pevensie said just loud enough that I could hear her.

"Danielle! Are you ready yet?"

"Just about, Mum!" Soon I was downstairs with my trunk and bag, and we were off.

At the trainstation, a lady checked my tag and I said goodbye to Mother. I sat with the Pevensies on the train, of course. Lucy was very sad and stayed close to Peter most of the time. In an effort to cheer everyone up, I spoke up.

"Hey, buck up. It'll be like old times. The five of us, having fun together, playing games." Lucy seemed to brighten at this. "How about it, Lu? Will you play with me?"

She got up and gave me a hug. "Of course, Dani! It'll be fun." We spent the rest of the trip talking about the adventures we used to have when we were little.

"Peter, remember that thunderstorm when we were kids?" I asked.

"You were so scared, you wouldn't let go of me," he laughed.

"I was scared? What about you, mister 'let's-hide-under-the-bed'?"

"I only suggested it to put your mind at ease."

"No, no, you were just as eager as I was to hide from the flashes and noise."

"Is this from the famous before-the-others-came time?" Susan asked looking at us suspiciously.

"Why, yes, Su. It was," Peter replied. "And the two of us got along famously."

"And then you came along, Su."

"Sorry to spoil your fun."

"You must have a bad memory, sister," Peter chided. "When you came, we became the three Musketeers!"

"It was when I moved out of the city that our fun stopped. I wish I could have come more often, but the time that we did spend together was fun. Wasn't it, Ed?" Edmund didn't answer. "Lu?"

"Oh, yes. It was a lot of fun." Then, a voice came over the speaker.

"That's our stop. Come on, Lu. Ed, Su, up you get." Peter got Lucy's bags down and I led the way down the corridor to the train's exit. We arrived at the mansion and got settled in. After dinner with Professor Kirke, we all went to bed.

In the morning, we got up to see that it was raining.

"Well, that negates Peter's plan for exploring outside," I said to myself with a sigh. After getting dressed and having breakfast, the five of us gather in one of the many rooms in the mansion.

"What are we going to do now?" Susan asked.

"We could play hide-and-go-seek," Lucy offers.

"That's a children's game!" Edmund retorts.

"Please, Peter, oh please!" Lucy begs. I joined in, just to give him a hard time. Finally, he relented and started to count. Lucy grabbed my hand and ran. We always would hide together, and hand-in-hand we ran through the house until we came across a room with only a wardrobe in it.

"Look, Lu! Let's hide there!" I whispered. She nodded and we climbed in. Like sensible people, we didn't close the door. We pushed further back until all of a sudden my hand didn't touch the fur coats that are in the wardrobe, but a pine branch. I turned around. "Lucy?"

"What's wrong, Dan...i. Woah." Lucy and I stared at the snow covered forest before us.

A/N: I know it's not much, but finals are here. Anyway, I lend you my ears, now let me hear you. Please review!
