Chapter 2. Coming Back To Myself
I woke up the next morning feeling much better. Well, rested anyway. I looked at the clock. 7:34. It was stil early so I layed in my bed for a few extra minutes thinking over what Aslan had said. I supposed he did have a point. But had I imagined it? Was it a dream? Although there was the fact I was in my regular clothes and sitting in my windowsill one minute and sitting on a bench in a Narnia dress the next. Then after I had drifted to sleep. When I woke up I was in the middle of my floor in my regular clothes again with Edmund lifting me up to put me in my bed. No. It couldn't have been a dream. It was to real. Plus how would I have wound up on the floor.
I looked at the clock on my wall and it said... 10:47!
"Peter's gonna flip!" I whispered to myself. Noticing I still had my clothes from yesterday on I changed quickly. I took off toward the stairs. I ran into Edmund. We both fell.
"Whow. What's the hurry." he asked.
"It's nearly 11:00. Ed, Peter's gonna flip! We have to leave at 12:00! I still haven't eaten.. and"
"Calm down. I talked him into letting you sleep late. Although it wasn't hard. Concidering the condition you went to bed in last night. Plus Mum and Dad don't get home until TOMMORROW" he interupted me.
"Oh. Ok. Thanks Ed." I said letting him help me up, even though I ran into HIM. We walked downstairs.
"Good morning" I said.
"Oh Lucy. Good morning. How'd you sleep?" Susan asked quickly.
"I'm fine Su." I replied amused. Ed came in behind me.
"Maybe it was a good thing we let her sleep in" Susan said to him.
"Why do you think I sugjested it? Don't you think I know my little sister?" he asked.
"Ok. You can stop that Oh Wise One" she mocked.
"Hey hey hey, that's MR. Wise One to you" he replied.
"So Wise One you want to go out for breakfast." Peter said from the doorway.
"Only if Susan and Lucy come. And it's MR. Wise One!" he replied.
"Of course the girls would come" he replied.
"So Mr. Wise One where do you want to go?" I asked.
"Just call me Wise One" he said.
"HEY!" Peter and Susan yelled.
"Why does she just call you Wise One and we have to call you Mr. Wise One." Peter asked.
"Well, I don't know. Maybe because she's the only one who hasn't mocked me" he replied.
"He has a point" Susan pointed out.
"So no one's answered. Where do you want to go for breakfast." Peter asked.
"You guys ACCTUALLY waited for me" I asked.
"Yep." they all replied.
"Well, anything but McDonald's." I replied.
"Oh come on. Why not" Edmund asked.
"Because I had it yesterday. We all did." I replied.
"Hm. Good explanation" he replied.
"How about that little Cafe down the corner." Peter asked.
"Sounds good to me" Susan replied.
"Same here" Edmund replied.
"I guess." I replied.
"Alright we'll leave in a few minutes. Is everyone ready" Peter asked.
"Yes." we all answered.
"Good then. We can just walk." he said.
"Yes!" Edmund and I exclaim.
"Awww Peter, do we HAVE to walk" Susan moans.
Edmund and I roll our eyes.
"Well, ok." Peter goes.
"WHAT!" Edmund and I yell.
"I''m not finished. YOU can drive there while WE walk." he replied.
Edmund and I looked over at Susan expectantly.
"But I don't want to just drive by myself. It wouldn't make sense." she replied.
"Weeeellll, Edmund said.
"Don't go there" she said giving him a stern look.
We give each other a high five behind our backs to where she can't see.
"Your decision" Peter replied standing up straight and crossing his arms with a stern look on his face. He was being completely serious. "Fine." she replied "but it's so cold outside."
"Yes, but it's also very beautiful outside today. There's still some snow on the ground but to where you won't slip. The sky's clear. It's wonderful." I replied.
"Alright. Fine. And Peter, when did you turn into dad?" she asked.
"Well, let's see somewhere around.."
"Shut up" she said interupting Peter.
Soon we left. It was a wonderful walk to the cafe. It was a beautiful morning. And Edmund gave me a piggy back ride all the way there. It was even more rewarding when Susan scolded us. That may seem weird but coming from Susan it was funny. And even though Edmund's 18 and I'm 16 DOESN'T mean we can't be kids sometimes!
