A while soon turned into years in Narnia. The siblings had grown up into young adults.
"Are you alright, Philip?" Edmund asked his horse.
"Not as young as I once was." Philip panted as he was being ridden on.
"Is everything okay?" An older Patch asked.
"Just catching my breath." Edmund chuckled.
"Well, that's all we'll catch at this rate." Susan smirked.
"I believe your brother said something before we left..." An older Cherry smirked as she soon came by, being snarky as always. "Now, what was it?"
"Hmm... What did he say again, Susan?" Lucy added.
"'You girls wait in the castle, I'll get the stag myself'!" Susan quoted.
"Oh, that's right." An older Mo smirked playfully.
They all shared a laugh together.
"No hard feelings, huh, Ed?" An older Atticus teased.
"Very funny." Edmund huffed.
"Huh? What's this?" Peter asked as he saw something.
The others soon looked at what Peter saw and where it was the lamp post only with vines grown around it.
"This seems familiar..." Peter said as he came off of his horse and his siblings followed him.
"As if from a dream..." Susan added.
"Or a dream of a dream..." Lucy said to them. "Spare... Oom..."
Patch knew exactly what Spare Oom was and decided to rush to a familiar path from years ago.
"Oh... For some reason I'm regretting this..." Cherry said. "I finally achieved inner peace and spirituality without having certain stress that plagued my mind for so long."
They grunted and groaned as they passed by the tree branches before soon coming in contact with some coats.
"I remember these coats." Mo said.
"No, wait, I know where this is going, don't make me leave!" Cherry cried out as she suddenly sounded younger. "I'm actually happy for once!"
The wardrobe door soon flew open and everyone fell out and they were like the way they were before they came to save Narnia, almost as if they had only been gone for a few minutes instead of a few years.
"Oh, come on! Seriously?!" Cherry complained back in her teenage age.
"Oh, there you are," Professor Kirke as he suddenly stood over them. "What were you all doing in the wardrobe?"
"You wouldn't believe us if we told you, sir." Peter said.
The Professor soon chuckled and tossed the cricket ball to him and he had caught it. "Try me."
"We're not in trouble for what happened to the window, are we?" Mo asked.
"Oh, not at all," Professor Kirke replied. "Kids will be kids after all."
"Whew." The teenagers and Patch sighed.
Professor Kirke soon held out his hand and they all soon stood back up. He then smiled and let them alone for right now.
"Did... Did all of that really just happen then...?" Peter asked them all.
"It had to have... Right...?" Susan blinked.
"It sure did." Patch smiled.
"So, shall we continue our game then?" Peter asked.
"Yeah!" Atticus cheered.
They all then left the spare room to go back outside to play.
Cherry watched them go and smirked and then went to sneak back into the wardrobe, only for her to walk right into the back of the wardrobe, meaning the way back to Narnia was gone for now. "No... No..." Cherry said in misfortune. "NO! Waaaaugh!"
Later on, everyone kept playing and Peter smiled to Atticus as they made a great team, in both army and sports team.
Later that night, Lucy tried to get back to Narnia too the same way Cherry tried.
"I don't think you'll get back in that way," Professor Kirke said to her. "You see, I've already tried."
"Will we ever go back?" Lucy wondered.
"I expect so, but it'll probably happen when you're not looking for it," Professor Kirke advised. "All the same, it's best to keep your eyes open."
They both soon went to bed. When they went to bed, there seemed to be the sound of a lion roar. Cherry sighed as she curled up to go to bed to forget about Narnia for right now and get as much rest as she could since she was suddenly whisked away thanks to the others.
The next day, Atticus, Mo, Patch, and Cherry felt themselves vanishing from the time they were in and wound end up back where they were before. The four were suddenly panting and sweating since they were back home where it was still hot.
"Hot..." Cherry gasped and panted before rolling out of bed and slumped. "Hot... Help..." she then panted, sounding like she was set on fire.
"W-We're back home." Mo said.
"Huh... Well, that's sudden..." Atticus said.
"And it's hot again..." Cherry complained. "DANG IT, DRELL, I FINALLY FOUND PEACE AND COMFORT, AND YOU JUST HAD TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME, JUST LIKE THAT! JUST! LIKE! THAAAT!"
"Okay, calm down." Patch told her.
"YOU CALM DOWN!" Cherry glared as she was getting stressed from the heat.
A random bucket of cold water was soon dumped on her. Cherry suddenly shivered and fell to the floor, holding herself as her teeth chattered.
"Oh, good, Mom finally installed the air conditioners." Atticus said before going to the window and turning it down low to make the room a lot cooler.
"Finally." Mo smiled.
"Drell took away my happiness... We should've left him behind..." Cherry glared.
"Cherry, if we had stayed in Narnia, we might have forgotten all about our lives here." Patch frowned.
"Patch is right." Atticus added.
Cherry opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out and she tried again only to look in defeat.
"I'm sure the heat will stop soon..." Mo said as they took in the cold air.
"Well... In that case... Move! OVER!" Cherry told them before going to hog the air conditioner. "Ooh, it's my turn~..."
"Luckily Mom installed more than one air conditioner." Atticus said.
Cherry stuck her tongue out as she waded in the cool air.
"I guess peace will have to wait." Patch chuckled.
The End
