Sorry I didn't upload sooner, but we had visitors on Friday, a wedding on Saturday, and grandparents on Sunday. Ok, I am borrowing something from Stardustfromtheplanetgallifrey's story Narnia's New Age and Prince Caspian take 2. (Now don't hunt me out and kill me for it please) If you don't see it now, you'll see it later. And it's more than just the glass roof :) I might not update for a long time, but I 'll try my best. Sorry the chapter is so short! R&R!
Chapter 4
"We could enlarge the glass roof, and some of the wall could be glass to."
"It would have to be about a foot thick though."
"I think it's a great idea."
"I have another idea," Peter said, "we could also make our bedchambers closer together instead of one in every hallway just in case we need to alert some one or something like that."
"It's a great idea," Susan smiled, "also, Caspian can chose were he wants his chamber to be." "You have a couple of choices. There's a place next to where Lu's going to be, and one next to Peter and next to mine."
"Um, I don't think it would be a good idea to build one next to yours Susan." Peter quickly spat out.
"Why?" Susan questioned. "Um, I have my reasons… personal things." "Ya, right," Susan knew why. He didn't want Caspian to sleep right next to her because they had formally suggested connecting the bedrooms, but they hadn't decided yet. "I think I'll take the one to Lucy," Caspian looked up and smiled, "I think she'll be happy."
"Of course she will," Susan smiled looking at Caspian.
"Hey Evelyn, how's it going?"
"Oh, fine. How are you?"
"Great," Edmund smiled sheepishly at her. "Uh, I got a question for you."
"Yes?" Evelyn said. "Um, yesterday in class, did you do that intentionally?"
"What?" "Draw instead of take notes," Edmund finally blurted out. "Yup." "Why?" Edmund said, confused. "Well, I sort of felt really bad after I made fun of you and you responded kindly, so I thought I might help you out a bit, and truthfully, I thought you, um…you might be my friend." "Why would you want to be my friend? I mean, you already have so many."
"Well, my so-called friends only use me… they know my dad is rich and they love the birthday parties and clothes and that kind of stuff…" her voice trailed off.
"Well I guess you could be my friend." Edmund said. "Cool!" she said. "Well, I guess I'll see you at detention this afternoon." "Yup, bye!" Edmund said enthusiastically.
"Looks like someone's got himself a girlfriend!" "Oh shut up Peter!" Edmund shouted, "Your worse than my older brother Peter!" and with that he ran down the corridors and locked himself in his room before he had a chance to give him a black eye like his buddy gave Lucy one.
"Hey Lu."
"Hi Edmund."
"Lu, do you think we're going back any time soon?" Edmund asked. "I don't know Ed… what if we never go back?" "Lu, we can't think that way, we just can't! I mean, if we lose hope in Narnia we most definitely will not go back, but Aslan wouldn't do that to us, I mean he's to kind to do that and he just wouldn't do it… would he?" he looked helplessly at Lucy.
Lucy finally thought… Aslan had always been there for them, if they had faith. She stood up and walk over to Edmund and put her hand on his shoulder. "I don't know Ed, I really don't. But we have a strong power that always helped us, and we still have it now… faith."
"You're right Lucy, we must have faith."
"Guys, I was thinking-" Caspian started.
"You-" Peter smirked, but then saw Susan give him a death glare and he stopped. "Never mind," he rolled his eyes. "Well, maybe because we spent so much time here, we could go back to the castle for a while."
"Cool! Can we come back before my birthday? I wanted to spend it here," Peter said. "Sure," Susan answered. She and Caspian had mainly wanted to go to get some supplies for a surprise birthday party for Peter.
"I was thinking we would leave tomorrow morning," came Caspian's voice.
Susan was gathering up her things to go when she heard something behind her. She flicked around quickly and saw Caspian. A smile spread across her face.
Caspian came up to her and twirled her around in the air. He finally put her down, but then grabbed her into a kiss. Susan wrapped her arms around his waist and dropped the few things she was holding. With each passing second it became more passionate and to them there was no one else but each other.
They finally broke apart needing air. "I love you," Caspian whispered heavily. "Me too," Susan responded.
Susan sat there for ages in Caspian's warm embrace not wanting to ever let go, but then she heard Peter's footsteps.
"Peter's coming!" she hissed. Susan quickly pick up the things she dropped and continued picking up her stuff and Caspian went to clean up his.
"Oh hi guys," Peter said. "Hi," they responded almost automatically. "The griffins are ready whenever you are." "I'm ready." Caspian said. "Me too," came Susan's voice.
Outside, they boarded the griffins and said goodbye and flew off into the sky.
"Hey Josh."
"Hi Lucy."
"Is something wrong?" Lucy asked.
"Yes," Josh looked at her worriedly.
"My parents are both dead now… they died of a train crash and now I have to go live in an orphanage," Josh seemed as if he was about to cry. "Oh I'm so sorry," said Lucy wrapping her arm around his shoulder.
"Next week I'm dropping out of school."
"I hope I'll see you sometime after that."
"Me too," Lucy said.
