A/N: Hey, Sorry that it's taken so long, I got kinda busy, and then I forgot that this was up...but I revisited it, and I kinda like it...I want to see where it goes. This chapter is kind of filler, just to get my brain thinking about it again, so sorry, not a whole lot of excitement, but hopefully more coming in the near future! Thanks to all the reviews, I'm glad you guys enjoy it! And yes, I'm planning on some Susan/Caspian, but I'm not sure when or where yet, so just keep reading/reviewing!

After Lucy had let go of her incredibly strong hold on Mr. Tumnus, she motioned for the others to join them. As they approached, Mr. Tumnus bowed low, and Peter couldn't hold back a grin. It felt good to be home again.

"Your majesties!" Tumnus greeted as he straightened up, only to receive a hug from Susan, a handshake from both Edmund and Peter, and yet another hug from Lucy. "I am of course, delighted to see you, but, if I may, how have you grown...younger?"

"Younger?" Susan asked, a bit confused.

"When you disappeared three months ago, you were all many years older," Tumnus explained.

"Wait, we disappeared three months ago, you say?" Peter asked, and Tumnus nodded. "So that must mean we've come back just after the end of our reign..."

"But why would Aslan send us here?" Susan asked, sounding a bit dismal. Peter knew what she was implying, wondering why the great lion had sent them to a time that was hundreds of years before Caspian was even born.

"The real question is how did he send us here," Peter declared, looking back at Cair Paravel. "I mean, we've traveled back in time. How is that possible?"

"Traveled back in time?" Tumnus asked.

"Yes...we've had a great many adventures, many years from now!" Lucy began excitedly, but she was very rudely interrupted by her brother.

"We'll have story-time later Lu," Peter said.

"Maybe we've forgotten something," Edmund contributed.

"Or maybe he wants us to rule longer!" Susan supplied eagerly.

"No...I think he wants us to change something...do something we didn't do the first time..." Peter mused.

"Why don't we discuss these matters inside," Tumnus said, gesturing to the great castle. "Besides, dinner will begin soon, and I'm sure you're all very hungry."

"Yes please," Lucy agreed with a smile, and they all followed Mr. Tumnus up the hill to the castle.

"This is impossible," Susan whispered to Peter as the five trekked across the courtyard and past the gate of Cair Paravel. "I mean, we aren't even supposed to be here!"

"But aren't you glad we are?" Peter asked. "I know it wasn't what you wanted exactly Su, but isn't Narnia better than nothing?"

"I suppose...I just wish he were here..." Susan replied.

"I just want to know how we got here," Peter said, looking around the familiar castle.

"Everyone will be so pleased to see you, your majesties," Tumnus was saying as they entered the great hall. "We were worried you had been lost or even killed."

"This is so weird," Edmund muttered, and Lucy elbowed him.

"Is Aslan here, Tumnus?" Peter asked suddenly, but the Faun shook his head.

"He's been gone for some time your grace, do you not remember? He has gone to see his Father across the sea. He did not tell us when he would be back." Tumnus replied.

"I guess an explanation will have to wait then," Peter said, but even so, a great smile stole across his face.

"How did we ever survive living back home?" Susan asked as she and Lucy prepared for bed.

"I thought of it more as a holiday. Like we were just spending a little time away from our real home," Lucy answered, pulling her nightgown down over her head.

"You have such faith, Lu. I wish I had that," Susan sighed.

"You do Susan! Aslan wouldn't have picked you as queen if you didn't! I just know it!" Lucy said eagerly, climbing up onto the bed to sit next to her sister.

"But why would you do it?" Susan said quietly, more to herself than to Lucy. "Why tell us that we can't come back, then send us to the one place we wish we could never leave?"

"Maybe he meant never go back to Caspian's time. Maybe he always intended for us to be here, now. We did leave by accident the first time, you remember? We probably would have ruled for years and years if we hadn't followed that white stag right into the wardrobe," Lucy reminded her.

"Maybe," Susan whispered.

"Brighten up Su!" Lucy exclaimed. "We're back in Narnia! Just like we always wanted! What else could we ask Aslan for when he's given us so much?"

"Indeed..." Susan said, turning her gaze out the window. All she could see was Caspian's face, and she knew her answer.
