Dearest Susan,
Edmund and I have so much to tell you, but it is not something that can be told in a letter. We actually found out that Eustace is a human, and is capable of being nice. But THAT isn't the greatest discovery of our stay!
When you pointed out the fact of Peter's inattentiveness, I called the professor's house. Peter says he is doing well, but is glad that the first quarter is almost over. Then, the professor invited us all to his house for the summer! Isn't that great!
So, if you can convince mom and dad to let you come back, we could all share our stories in person! Oh, I can't wait! Please come, we miss you.
Love,
Lucy
The smile on my face must have been a hundred watts, filled with both happiness and sadness, because mom said, "What's the news from Lucy?" when she usually didn't bother to ask.
"The professor has invited Lucy, Edmund, and I to come and stay with him and Peter over the summer. Can I go?" I asked as dad walked into the room.
"Go where?" He inquired.
"To stay with Peter at the professor's over the summer, with Ed and Lu as well." Mom answered for me. I smiled real big and batted my eye lashes. Dad chuckled, taking a sip of his coffee.
"Well, I don't see why not." He replied. I jumped up and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you." As I started to leave the room mom called back to me.
"Oh Susan," I turned around and faced her. "What did Marvin Wents want?" She had a smile on her face, probably already knowing the answer.
"If I would go on a picnic with him." I replied, my smile gone.
"And what did you say?" Dad asked.
"No…" I replied simply.
"NO?" Mom echoed, sounding slightly upset.
"Yes, no." I said, frowning when I realized what that sounded like.
"But I thought you said he was a ten?" mom asked.
"He is, but I've known a man who was a 211. Completely demolished the scale." I left with that, and headed up to my room.
(A/N that scale is the hotness scale. 1 being ugly, five being date-able, ten being SUPER gorgeous. And then you know if he makes it up a 20 that he is like, jaw dropped, drool worthy. So, yeah, Caspian (aka Ben Barnes) is a 211.)
Thank you for reading!
