Hey guys! I noticed that I made a mistake with the ages...because time in Narnia and Earth are supposed to pass differently. Sorry about that. I'm going to keep it like it is though, because I want the characters the ages that I put. Just letting you know...I know it was a mistake and I'm not an idiot lol (: Anyways thanks for the reviews! I love getting them! And thank you for the grammar correction, I'll be more careful (: Anyways, here is chapter 2! (Thoughts are in italics)

Chapter 2

CASPIAN'S POV

As Caspian finished changing and made his way to the study, he could not stop thinking about the young Queen occupying his cabin. He had been very close to Lucy during her last visit to Narnia, and thought of her as nothing more than that of a best friend at the time. Of course, she had only been 12. But now, as he takes in her beauty, he cannot help but being attracted to her. He shook his head. That would be entirely innapropriate. She was five years younger than him, and her brother was on board. He opened the door to the study, where the ship's captain, Lord Drinian, and the noble mouse Reepicheep awaited. Both bowed their heads to Caspian, but Caspian just rose a hand to them to tell them there was no need, he was not a boastful King.

"I'm sure that you know by now that King Edmund and Queen Lucy have joined us on board. They should prove quite useful on our voyage. Both are very apt to adventure," Caspian sat down in the chair behind the desk. Lord Drinian looked at him skeptically.

"Yes, we heard. As you know, this is an all male crew. The men aren't going to want to change their behavior just because there is a woman on board. You know, Caspian, how rough voyages like these can get. I just don't know if Queen Lucy can handle it." Caspian smiled.

"Tell the men they don't have to worry. She is named Queen Lucy the Valiant for a reason, you know. I can assure you, Lucy will be fine." Just as he finished, he heard a knock at the door. Edmund joined them, shortly followed by Lucy. Caspian chuckled at her looking lost in his clothes. Caspian stood, and he and the two crew members bowed their heads to the King and Queen. They, like Caspian, held up their hands in signal that it was not necessary.

"Edmund, Lucy, you already know Reepicheep," The mouse walked forward and beamed at them. Lucy, as always, looked as if she was dying to hug him. She didn't of course, that would be disrespectful. Instead, she nodded to him, as did Edmund.

"Hello Reepicheep!"

"Hello, Queen Lucy. I hope you have been well."

"I have. I missed you!" Edmund nudged her side. Caspian chuckled. Reepicheep looked flustered, he was not used to being spoken to in a way that wasn't formal.

"I missed you too." He said lowly, before turning around and retaking his place on top of the desk. Drinian stepped forward.

"This is Lord Drinian, the captain of the Dawn Treader."Caspian said.

Edmund shook his hand, and Lucy nodded to him. He looked rather intimidating, so Lucy merely gave him a soft "Hello" while Edmund spoke to him longer. After everyone got acquainted, they got back to business.

"So Caspian, what is this voyage all about?" Edmund asked.

"Well while my Uncle Miraz was in power, he sent away seven of my father's closest friends. I suppose he assumed that they were a threat to his throne. He sent them to explore the Eastern Seas, but they never returned. Their names were the Lord Revilian, the Lord Bern, the Lord Argoz, the Lord Mavramorn, the Lord Octesian, the Lord Restimar, and the Lord Rhoop. Long ago, I swore to myself that if I would ever be named King, that I would make it my goal to find these Lords and know what has happened to them. I will bring back any with me that I find alive."

"Those poor men," Lucy said softly.

"Yes, there is another reason for our travels. A desire of Reepicheep's." Reepicheep nodded to the King, before turning to Edmund and Lucy.

"Ever since I was a child I have dreamed of sailing to the end of the world and seeing what I find there. I am under the impression that if one sails to the end of the world, then they will reach Aslan's country. This is my wish," Edmund and Lucy smiled in appreciation.

"That's a wonderful idea! I imagine it would be most beautiful," Lucy said warmly, Edmund nodded in agreement. Reepicheep smiled at her. Lord Drinian spoke next.

"Yes well, we will stop next at the Lone Islands, look around and see what we find. We should in arrive in a day and a half. Until then." He nodded to Edmund, Lucy, and Reepicheep, bowed to Caspian, and left the room. Edmund coughed to fill the awkward silence that followed. Lucy turned to Caspian.

"He seems...nice." With a smile, Caspian stood, and made his way around the desk.

"Yes well, he takes things very seriously. Soon enough he will be as merry as the rest of the crew. Until we reach Lone Islands, I suppose we can all just catch up." Caspian led them back above deck. Reepicheep told them he would go help with the crew. A crew member rushed over to them.

"Excuse me sire, your majesties, the boy is very seasick. He won't accept any help though, he is very frantic." Lucy and Edmund groaned.

"I'll talk with him. Little prat," Edmund said wearily, leaving Lucy and Caspian leaning against the railing. Caspian chuckled.

"Are you quite certain this boy is related by blood?" He asked Lucy jokingly. She shoved his shoulder.

"Yes of course! He's just...getting used to his sea legs. He'll be fine, you'll see. Eustace can just be very, stubborn and..."

"Annoying?"

"Caspian!" He laughed again.

"I'm sorry Lucy-love, I'm only joking. I'm sure your cousin is very nice." She gave him another look before looking out to the sea, and smiling as she looked at the bright sky, and the flowing waves. Caspian looked as well, it truly was beautiful. He had never really stopped to look though, but being with Lucy always calmed him enough to stop and take a good look at the beauty of Narnia.

"I've missed it here so much. It didn't take as long for us to be brought back the second time to Narnia. After three years I was starting to wonder if we would ever be brought back. But I tried to keep faith in Aslan. I'm happy he brought Edmund and I back, I think of Narnia as my home, not England." Her face turned sour at the last part, as if she hated her own world.

"Do you not like it back in England?" Lucy laughed as he mispronounced the name.

"It's not that. It's just that whenever I'm here and I think about going back, I feel sick to my stomach. And I've never been as happy in England as I am when I'm here. I wish I could just live here instead."

"I wish you could too." Lucy smiled and looked at him, he had started to blush right after he said this, he hadn't meant to say that. Before Lucy could reply, Edmund rushed over to them, looking angry.

"Eustace is getting on my last nerve. He HIT me! Smacked me right across the face! Course he looked a right bit afraid when I started to come back at him, but Reepicheep stopped me. Little prat. He's getting sick all over the place! Hopefully when we reach the Lone Islands, he'll be better on land. But he'll probably still be a stupid little-" Lucy gave him a stern look.

"I mean a-uh-great cousin. Yeah. He'll still be a great cousin once we reach the Lone Islands." Caspian laughed, and Lucy rolled her eyes. Edmund rubbed his neck, yawning.

"I think I'll get to bed, it's getting dark. I'll see you two in the morning." Lucy and Caspian bid him goodnight.

"Are you tired as well?" Caspian asked.

"Not really. Or maybe I'm just excited to be here. I wonder, Caspian if we were to go for a swim...could the crew pull us back up like they did before?"

"Well, yes. But Lucy, I don't think it's a good idea to-" He couldn't finish. For Lucy had pulled off the tunic he had given her, and jumped over the railing.

"LUCY!" Caspian started to remove his tunic and shoes, and looked back over the railing. He sighed in relief as he saw her come to the surface smiling.

"Oh come on Caspian, the waves are calm. Jump in!" Caspian started to laugh as he watched Lucy laughing and splashing around, bidding him to join her. He obliged, jumping in and making a splash next to her. Laughing the whole time, the two friends splashed at eachother and tried pushing eachother under. Lucy would scream when Caspian would pick her up above his head, and then throw her back in. In a joking manner, Lucy would try to do the same to Caspian, but he would just stare at her with his arms crossed with a grin on his face as she attempted to pick him up, and eventually she would just push his head under. He came back up, sputtering water.

"Ah real mature! What are you five?" He joked, and turned his head quickly as she splashed him.

"At least I'm not a big hairy old man!" She yelped and tried to swim away as he came at her. She was too slow, and he ended up picking her up and throwing her in again. After playing for a while, Caspian noticed the waves start to pick up. He wrapped an arm around Lucy, and stroked away the wet hair that was clinging to her face.

"We had better get back on the ship. Won't want to have to rescue you again," He winked at her, and chuckled as she stuck her tongue out at him. After yelling to the crew to send down a board to lift them up, they had to wait a few minutes. Caspian wrapped both arms around her middle from behind, making sure the waves would not pull her under. She turned back to look at him and smiled big. I'm so happy she's here. Things are always more fun with Lucy around. Lucy brought her arms up to rest them on his, hugging him back, and leaned back into his chest. He admired her while she had her back turned to him. Beautiful Lucy-love...

"Grab a hold!" Rynelf yelled. Caspian was shaken out of his thoughts. He had not noticed that the board with ropes attached had been thrown down. He apologized and helped Lucy up before climbing on himself, and kept an arm around her as they were pulled up. Once on deck, both of them were handed a blanket. Drinian made his way over to them. He looked upset.

"Sire, is there a reason you two were in the water? It's very dangerous! Especially for a lady."

"It was my idea." Lucy scoffed. Caspian turned to Drinian, looking stern.

"I can assure you, Captain, that I would never voluntarily put Lucy in any danger," He didn't like the fact that Drinian questioned his capability to take care of her.

"I would disagree. Seems as if every minute this boat travels, you're leading her into more and more." Caspian remained silent. He wanted so badly to yell at Drinian for his harsh words. Drinian turned his back on them, and started to walk away. He didn't get far, before Lucy marched up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to her, looking suprised.

"How dare you talk to the King of Narnia that way? You may be the captain of this ship but you surely do not have authority over Caspian. Or me, as a matter of fact. I was a Queen of Narnia once. Lucy the VALIANT. So I can tell you right now that a little swimming will do me no harm. I'll have you know that I have fought in wars. And fought off danger. So I don't need you telling me that I cannot manage myself on this voyage. I am very capable. Now while I'm oh so sure that you are indeed a very nice man, for Caspian has told me so, I still would request that you stop underestimating my abilities and treat your King with more respect. Go ahead," She gestured to Caspian," Apologize to him." Caspian was grinning madly by now, feeling very proud of Lucy. Drinian turned away from Lucy, still looking a little suprised and hastily apologized to Caspian, giving him a bow. He turned to Lucy.

"I'm sorry to you as well, your majesty." Lucy smiled.

"It's quite alright." She turned away from him, and smiled at Caspian, who was holding his stomach trying not to roll around laughing. After Drinian was out of earshot, he burst out laughing.

"Oh Lucy, he was about to pee his pants!" Lucy joined in on the laugher. When it died down, she looked up at him.

"Well, he won't be messing with me anymore," She said proudly. She wrapped her arms around herself in the blanket as she turned and stared out to sea again. She started to shiver. Just as before, Caspian put an arm around her.

"I should walk you to your cabin. You should be changed and off to bed," He rubbed her shoulder gently before leading her back below deck and to her looked confused as he shuffled around in the drawers, trying to find something she could wear to bed. Finally, he picked up one of his long sleeved shirts and held it up to her, he chuckled. It came to her knees.

"Just like a night gown." They laughed. He pulled out some night clothes for himself before turning to her.

"I should leave you I suppose," Without warning, Lucy walked forward and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. He sighed as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He heard her yawn and warmth spread through his chest. He squeezed her tighter. She's adorable. She pulled away, and he felt that he missed her when she did.

"Goodnight Caspian."

"Goodnight Lucy."
