Then, Edmund looked up, "Where do you suppose we are?"

"Well, where do you think?" Peter smiled sarcastically.

"Well I don't remember any ruins in Narnia." The Pevensies looked up and saw that Edmund was right, there were ruins at the top of the large cliff.

"Who's that?" Lucy asked.

They all looked to where Lucy was pointing and saw a girl in a navy blue and red dress that Peter thought was vaguely familiar.

She seemed to be exploring the ruins when Lucy called, "HELLO!" making the girl look down. They couldn't see her face clearly from that sort of distance.

But when she saw them, she nearly jumped in the air and began sprinting down the hill screaming, "PETER!"

Peter's eyes widened in shock, knowing that voice. He splashed out of the water and started sprinting towards the woman. She screamed again, "Peter!" The closer she got, the clearer her face became and Peter saw the face of his love, Jo.

"Jo!" He couldn't keep the smile from his face as he raced towards her. She finally got down the cliff and sand flew behind her feet as she ran to him. When they finally reached each other Jo jumped into his arms as he spun her around in circle.

Jo started crying delirious tears of happiness as she whispered his name again and again as if she were afraid that he'd disappear. Peter clung to her tightly and dug his face into her hair, kissing her hair. Jo leaned away before she grabbed his face in her hands and crashed her lips to his.

They both sighed into each others mouths as their lips moved as they had so many times before. The kiss mixed with their tears making it a salty sweat. When they broke the kiss they immediately went back to wrapping their arms tightly around each other, unwilling to break apart.

Lucy had finally caught up to them and immediately joined their embrace excitedly. Edmund laughed at Lucy's antics and took his turn to hug Jo, who had become a sister to him as well. Jo sighed as she hugged Edmund. She still hadn't taken her eyes off of Peter though. Peter stared at her in awe. He couldn't believe that after a whole year, he was seeing her again.

When Edmund let go, Lucy asked, "Where is Richelle?"

Jo frowned, "I don't know! We were holding hands but at the last minute she slipped."

"Don't worry," Peter consoled her, "We'll find her." Jo threw herself at Peter again. Peter hugged her back tightly, "I can't believe you're really here..." Jo pressed her forehead to his and smiled softly, "Me either. I missed you so much. I watched you everyday in my mirror but it just wasn't the same."

"I missed you too Jo," Peter choked out.

ELSEWHERE

A scream echoed in the forest as Richelle fell to the dirt ground. She groaned in pain when she heard a noise to her right. She looked frantically but saw a badger. She sighed in relief as she sat up slowly, "Hello?"

"Hello," the badger said politely. But he gave her a confused look and asked, "If you don't mind my asking, what in Narnia are you wearing?"

Richelle looked down at herself and saw her dark ripped jeans, bright yellow converse and her long sleeve black knit sweater that left her shoulders bare. She blushed slightly, "It's been a while since I've been in Narnia, unfortunately."

The badgers eyes widened, "Oh, hail Aslan, you're finally here."

THE RUINS

The Pevensies explored the ruins. Jo and Peter were practically glued to each others sides. Lucy found an apple and took and bite. Jo and Peter walked up some steps and looked around. Jo leaned her head on Peter's shoulder. Lucy stared out to the water, "I wonder who lived here."

Susan noticed something on the ground and picked it up. She stared at it and said in an incredulous voice, "I think we did."

They all walked towards her and Edmund looked at the golden chess knight that Susan was holding. He took it out of her hand, "Hey, that's mine... from my chess set."

"Which chess set?" Peter asked. Jo gave him a look.

"Well, I didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set in Finchley, did I?" Edmund asked sarcastically.

Lucy looked over the ruins and whispered forlorn, "It can't be."

"Lucy?" Peter asked.

Lucy ran over to the dais and they all followed. "Don't you see?" she asked.

"What?" Jo asked.

"Imagine walls," Lucy instructed. They all stood side by side and looked around. Lucy continued, pointing, "...and columns there... and a glass roof."

"Cair Paravel," Peter whispered.

Edmund bent down and looked at something. "Catapults," he murmured.

"What?" Peter asked.

"This didn't just happen," revealed Edmund, "Cair Paravel was attacked."

The boys ran over to a wall and started moving it to reveal a door behind it. They broke the door down. Peter teared off a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around a stick. He looked to Edmund, "I don't suppose you have any matches in there, do you?"

"No..." Edmund trailed off. But he pulled out a electric torch out of his bag and grinned, "but would this help?"

Peter smiled, "You might've mentioned that a bit sooner!"

They all stepped down the steps with Edmund leading the way. Lucy paused when she saw the treasure chamber, and their six chests below. They all rushed down the stairs.

Peter opened his chest, "I can't believe it. It's all still here."

Jo smiled as she whispered, "My wedding dress... my knitting things... even our wedding bands..."

Peter smiled as he took out his wedding ring, he had taken it off so as not to lose it while he was riding. He slipped it on his finger. Jo saw and smiled. She took her ring off her chain and slipped it onto her finger. Peter and Jo smiled at each other and kissed slowly.

The other three ran to their chests. Lucy pulled out a dress far too big for her and said wistfully, "I was so tall."

"Well, you were older then," Susan stated.

Edmund laughed as he pulled on a helmet that was way too big for him, "As opposed to hundreds of years later... when you're younger." They laughed slightly, still going through their things.

Peter blew the dust away from the shield in his hands. It revealed the face of a lion of the large gold plate. He looked up to see the statue standing behind his chest, and slowly walked toward it.

Susan frowned and Lucy asked, "What is it?" Susan looked around frowning, "My horn. I must have left it on my saddle the day we went back."

Peter slowly took out his sword, and drew it out of the sheath. He gazed at the sword and read the inscription, "''When Alsan bears his teeth, winter meets it's death.''"

"''and when he shakes his man, we shall have spring again.''" Jo finished.

"Everyone we knew..." Lucy realized, "Mr. Tumnus and the Beavers... they're all gone."

"I think it's time we found out what's going on," Peter said.

ELSEWHERE

"That's horrible," Richelle gasped. Badger had told her of what had become of Narnia.

"That's what you get when you abandon your country," Nikabrik grumbled.

Richelle felt tears come to her eyes. She couldn't help but blame herself for what had happened. Badger snapped from the stove-thing, "Nikabrik! Her Majesty Richelle was one of the best rulers Narnia has ever known. She did not abandon Narnia!"

Richelle smiled in thanks but looked down silently at her plate. "So how is he...?"

Badger caught onto her need to change the subject, "He is fine. Nikabrik just hurt his head. He'll wake up soon.

THE BEACH

Susan spotted two tanned soldiers lifting a dwarf over the water. She immediately shot an arrow and hit the side of the boat. The others came running past her to get to the dwarf. They drew their weapons. Susan shouted, "Drop him!"

The soldiers swung the dwarf into the water, and he sunk. One of them picked up a crossbow but Susan shot him. The other jumped into the water and swam away. The dwarf was quickly sinking to the bottom when Peter dived in and pulled him to shore. Edmund tugged the boat in. Lucy raced to cut the dwarf's bonds with her dagger.

The dwarf pulled off his gag and said, "Drop him? That's the best you can come up with?"

"A simple thank you would suffice," Susan huffed haughtily.

"They were doing fine drowning me without your help," the dwarf snapped.

"Maybe we should have let them," Peter cut in, angry.

"Peter!" Jo cried. Peter looked at her and saw her giving him an incredulous look. She couldn't believe he just said that.

"Why were they trying to kill you anyway?" Lucy asked.

"They're Telmarines," the dwarf spat, "That's what they do."

"Telmarines?" Edmund asked, "In Narnia?"

"Where have you been for the last few hundred years?" the dwarf asked sarcastically.

"It's a bit of a long story," Lucy said sheepishly.

Susan handed Peter his sword back and the dwarf noticed the hilt and looked up at Peter. He surveyed the rest of them, "Oh, you've got to be kidding me. You're it? You're the kings and queens of old?"

Jo smiled, "Why don't I prove it?" She pulled out her mirror and looked at it, "Richelle." The mirror fogged up until it showed Richelle staring down worriedly at a tan boy with a bandage on his head. The dwarf looked at it, "That's my house..."

He looked at the rest of them as Jo put back her mirror and said in a shocked voice, "Beards and bedsteads! Maybe that horn worked after all."

"What horn?" Susan asked.

So there it is! And yes I have a thing for blonde british young men, like William Moseley and Alex Pettyfer! But I also have a thing for big strong men with Spanish accents...
