So here's chapter three. I've got nothing more to say.

Well I hope that since we're here anyway, we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say, so we could end up staying.
Now the story's played out like this, just like a paperback novel.
Let's rewrite and ending that fits, instead of a Hollywood Horror

-Second Verse of "Someday" by Nickelback

Chapter 3:

There was good news and bad news in the air and no one even knew about it. The Narnians were rejoicing at the marriage of their king and future queen. The week had gone by and in English time, that was only a day. This meant that bad news was coming for the Pevensie four. They left for their great-aunt's house not knowing how big of a mistake it was.

"I hate this dress. It's not as beautiful or as comfortable as the ones in Narnia." Lucy was staring at herself in the mirror. She looked cute and adorable when she didn't show how uncomfortable she was.

"I know Lu, but we promised mum and dad we would behave." Susan also looked at herself in the mirror. There was no doubt she looked beautiful but it just wasn't the same as the once reigning gentle queen.

"At least we know that you'll look beautiful in anything you wear." What Lucy said was true. Susan could wear pants and a sweatshirt and still be the most beautiful woman in Narnia and England. Susan's mom thought it was weird that a girl of her age didn't or wouldn't milk something like that.

Peter opened the door. "It's time to go, girls." Peter looked handsome in his tux but also looked uncomfortable. When they got downstairs, Edmund couldn't stop squirming. He didn't act like the fifteen year old he was. He acted like an eleven or twelve year old would act. He didn't feel like a king right now. The four of them walked to the car with heavy hearts and sad faces getting ready to impress a woman they've never met just for her money.

"Remember children." Mrs. Pevensie was warning them about something important. "My family favors me the most which is probably the reason why my sister hates me. As long as you're quiet and only speak when you are asked, especially around my sister, things will be over in no time." Mrs. Pevensie knew that her sister would do anything to get the money all to herself so she braced herself to keep her children safe and alright. They started driving, leaving the little town of Finchley for the big city of London.

Meanwhile in a house away from Finchley but close to London:

"Just do as I tell you." A woman in her late thirties was talking to five or six men explaining the job that she wants done. This woman was also known as the sister of Helen Pevensie.

One of the men started asking, "Why exactly are we doing this?" Everyone else also wondered. This woman was paying them a lot of money to do as she says and what she said to do was to keep them away from where they were going. The only part of the plan they knew was whatever she asked them to do. They didn't know why exactly.

"Because if they go there, it's no doubt that she will get most of the money. As long as she and her family are out of the picture, I will inherit the millions. Make sure that you take them out in the middle of the country. That way the news won't travel to the rest of the family in London."

Things were definitely about to change for the four Pevensies.

Back in Narnia:

King Caspian was staring at himself in the mirror. He was in his finest robes and was about to be married in a few hours to a woman he loves but not the woman he's in love with. It was the hardest decision he had to make but he made it and with each passing second, it was getting harder to turn back. The only ones who knew of this were Trufflehunter, Trumpkin, and Professor Cornelius. Whatever advice they gave didn't exactly help that much.

He decided to go and stare out the balcony and enjoy his last few hours of being single. He was thinking of the kings and queens of old and how much he wished they would be here. He had no idea how soon his wish would come true.

After a few hours, the wedding was about to start. Caspian walked to the front alter surprised at not seeing Aslan standing there. He was the one marrying them and the most important person at the wedding and yet he wasn't there. After ten minutes of waiting, Aslan still had not shown up. The wedding march was supposed to start several minutes ago but delayed it, waiting for the great cat. When he didn't show up the doors where the bride and her bridesmaids were, finally opened. Since they were looking forward, they saw Aslan standing there while everyone else was turned around to see the bride. Basically no one noticed Aslan's arrival. When the bride finally made it to the front, everyone else turned around and gasped then bowed to the great cat.

He started talking. "I apologize for my absence, but there was business which needed to be taken care of."

The Narnians weren't used to Aslan being late for a joyous event such as a wedding, so Trufflehunter asked about it. "Sire, if I may, why are you late for this event?"

Aslan bowed his head down in shame, almost about to cry. It hurt to say much so he thought he might as well show them. "Turn around." Everyone turned and gasped. In the back stood Peter in the middle, Edmund to his right, and Lucy to his left. The three Pevensies also gasped. They didn't expect to be back in Narnia. They honestly didn't want to be back in Narnia. They would rather be at home with their sister. They knew this was the work of Aslan so they decided to walk up to him. Lucy hugged him and was about to let fresh tears fall. Usually they would be tears of joy but these were tears of sorrow and since Aslan knew this he thought he might as well share in her sorrow. And with that, he too let out his tears. Edmund and Peter wanted to stay strong in front of the new king but the temptation to cry was unbearable. Instead, the two of them put on a fake smile and shook hands with Caspian. Before anyone could see Lucy's tear strained face, she wiped them clean, put on a fake smile and hugged Caspian. No one suspected anything was wrong. That is, until Caspian brought up the subject of Susan.

"It's good to see you again, Caspian." Peter had years of practice using his fake smile and fake happy voice to his past suitors when they were ruling. Edmund had a close connection with Susan so he couldn't hide it in his voice as well as Peter, so instead he just stood there smiling and nodding his head. Aslan, Lucy, and Peter could all see past it but no one else was suspicious.

"It's good to see you also, Peter." Caspian hesitated in asking but he finally found the courage to ask. "So, where's Susan?" Peter's face dropped, Edmund bowed his head trying to stop new tears, and Lucy hugged Aslan as tight as she could also with new tears.

After a while, Peter finally spoke. "We should talk later. You have a wedding right now." Peter stepped back. Aslan didn't want them to announce anything yet so he spoke.

"If it is alright with you, Caspian, we would like to postpone the wedding until further notice." Caspian simply nodded knowing that there must be an important reason as to why and because he didn't really want to get married just yet. He future wife dared not refuse so she said nothing and also nodded in approval.

Aslan looked to the rest of the crowd. "There will be a mandatory meeting in the town square tomorrow 9 am sharp. We have important matters needing to be discussed with the people." Since everyone knew the wedding wasn't going on today, they got up and left. All they could do now was to wait for the next day.

Caspian and his almost wife looked back at the kings and queen of old. They held their heads down while Lucy looked to Aslan for support. As soon as Peter noticed Caspian looking at them, he put his fake smile back on. "Aren't you going to introduce us to your fiancé?"

Caspian smiled, slightly suspicious about the three of them. They didn't exactly answer his question about Susan but he continued with the introductions and soon they were all off to bed. Caspian couldn't help but think of Susan.

It was a long night for all of the kings and queen. None of them could sleep but that was nothing compared to the long and painful day they were going to endure in the morning.
