Disclaimer: I wish i owned it but sadly only the plot is mine :)
Ten years ago in Finchley, a five year Edmund was with his nine year old older brother, under an old oak tree in the park
"Hey, Peter?" Edmund asked, "Wanna play ball?"
"Sure, Ed, here, let's play catch" Peter answered.
Edmund ran off placing a good throwing distance from Peter and held the ball with his tiny little hands.
"Here it goes!" Edmund said as he threw the ball a good two yards, "aw, I can't throw it far."
"It's okay Edmund, try again" Peter said encouragingly
"Can't I just come closer?"
"No, I want you to try it again"
After an hour, four bruises, and almost twenty throws, Edmund finally was able to throw it a good 8 yards
"That's Great Ed!" Peter said with a smile.
And Edmund being an over enthusiastic little boy that he is, ran up to his mun yelling:
"Mum! Mum! did you see that!"
Peter couldn't help but smile at his dear little brother
Now a fifteen year old Edmund was walking through the castle and passed by the archery range where his brother was practicing, well, archery. and since he knew the Susan was away with Lucy to some consulate with Galma, he took it upon himself to help Peter with his archery.
"Hi, Pete" Edmund said as he walked toward Peter
"Hey, Ed" Peter answered back
"Need Help?"
"Yeah, I'm a bit off today because Susan's away"
"here, try a shot" Edmund said as he handed Peter an arrow
Peter took an arrow from his quiver and placed it on the bow, he tried to aim and stretch the string and let go, the arrow came hurtling to the grass just beneath the target.
"here, hold the bow like this, look the arrow's shaft straight and aim." Edmund said "Try again."
After an hour, a couple of undignified hits on dryads and a dozen arrows flung to the ground, Peter finally got a shot on the target just mere centimeters away from the bulls eye. Peter gave a sigh of relief, and Edmund looked at his older brother and saw the same little boy that never gave up on him.
"Hey, Pete?" Edmund said
"Yes?"
"Thanks"
"For what?" Peter asked as he shot a confused look to Edmund.
Edmund just smiled and said "For everything."
I cut the last part cause it seemed to be irrelevant to the story if i say that peter said "i should be the one thanking you"
first one-shot! :) again constructive criticism is always welcome :D
