Ten:

"Tell me you've found someone to play at the wedding, please," Lucy says the next evening. Edmund stares into space before looking at her and shaking his head. "Oh Ed! Why haven't you?"

"I was busy!" Peter snorts, and Edmund glares at him.

"Yeah, busy riding your horse!"

"He has a name you know! Peter it is your wedding. Why aren't you planning?"

"I am! I'm planning my vows!"

"Boys!" Susan yells. She stands up and places her cloth napkin on her plate before pushing her chair in. "I have some business to attend to. Please, excuse me, and please stop arguing! You do that everyday, and I know for a fact that everyone else here would rather not listen to such things." Then she walks out of the room, and everyone is silent. Peter says: "Lucy, go follow your sister. I want to make sure she isn't doing anything she'll regret." Lucy stands up and pushes her chair in with a small thud.

"You do it yourself!" Then she walks out of the room, and everyone is silent.

"Alright, then. Ed-"

"Nope. And don't even try making Jane go." Edmund pushes his chair in, before grabbing Jane by the hand and pulling her out of the room. "I don't owe you anymore now."

"Yes you do. You didn't save me from anything, except for your brothers orders, which by the way would never be thrown at me. Remember, I'm a guest." She smiles evilly, and Edmund rolls his eyes.

"Oh, yeah thats right. So if I ask you to help me find a band of fauns to play at the wedding would you be offended since your a guest?"

"Yes, I would be." Edmund actually looks surprised, and Jane laughs. "I am only kidding, sire."

"Again, with the name. Please. It's Edmund."

"I know that!" They stop walking because now they are outside of Jane's room. Ed looks around before pecking her cheek. "I know that you know. Now goodnight, Princess. We have a big day tomorrow." He walks away smiling, and he almost skipped to his room, but he didn't because he could feel Jane's eyes on him. She places a hand on her cheek before opening the door to her room and going in.

"Good morning, Princess!" Edmund says barging into Jane's room. It was so un-gentleman like, and so against the rules Jane enjoyed it. However, she didn't enjoy what time it was. Edmund walked over to the window and opened up the curtains. "Rise and shine, Princess!" She sits up and rubs her eyes.

"Edmund, I was trying to sleep."

"And I was trying to get a head start to our day, but obviously some people aren't so happy about that." He sits on the foot of her bed. "So, what are you going to wear today? I think we should go by a color theme. I'm going to wear blue. You should too. Do you even own a blue dress?" He gets up, and being nosy Ed, he opens up her wardrobe. "Oh my, I hope this doesn't lead to another world," Jane hears him mumble. She shakes her head and smiles as he climbs into it. A few seconds later she hears knocking. Probably trying to see if it really did lead into another world. Then he emerges with a blue gown. "Here, wear this." He lays out on her bead gingerly. Then he leaves the room, and Jane gets out of bed to view his selection, and oddly enough it's her favorite dress.

"Edmund, I hope you do realize that this is Mr. Tumnus' house, right?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then why are we here?"

"Because I know that Lucy would love to here him play a Narnian Lullaby again. He hasn't played one since..well. You know."

"Oh, well that's sweet," Jane mumbles, her gaze setting on Edmund who is contently walking towards Mr. Tumnus' house, but he pauses and looks at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Oh, can I not admire your sweetness?"

"Sweetness?"

"Never mind!" Jane knocks on Tumnus' door. When he answers he smiles at both of them, and he was even more excited to help them with the wedding.

"So, you'll be able to play?"

"Of course, sire! Anything for the high king and his bride!"

"Well, actually.. This is more for Lu. We haven't really been helping her, and she's been taking it hard." Tumnus looked rather worried at the moment.

"Oh, is she?"

"Mhmm," Jane mumbles, taking a sip of her tea, and staring longly at the fire.

"Yes, she has. We volunteered, because we say she was taking it hard," Edmund says, while Jane looks at him. She rolls her eyes.

"If you would excuse us, Mr. Tumnus, but I must help Princess May with her dress fitting. She gets very upset if everything goes wrong, and the dress is the last thing we all want to go wrong." Jane stands up abruptly, and hands her tea cup to Tumnus who offered his hands for it. She smiles, curtsy;s and thanks him. Then she's gone. Edmund is still sitting, dumb-struck, and trying to figure out why she was angry.

"Your Majesty, the Princess seems upset. What could have possibly upset her?"

"I..I have no idea. If you excuse me Mr. Tumnus, I have to go talk to her. Thank you for the tea, and thank you. We cannot wait for the wedding, I have always wanted to hear you play." Edmund practically runs out the door to get to Jane. "Princess, can you tell me why your acting this way?" He asks as he is finally next to her. She is taking long strides and Edmund is having great difficulty matching hers. Then she stops walking and faces him.

"Why would you tell Mr. Tumnus that we volunteered. If I remember correctly, I had to volunteer you!" Ed folds his arms and looks up at the sky.

"Jane, I am sorry. I did not know that you would get angry over it. In fact, I just wanted to get this job done. Honestly, I'd rather not have a million people know I fancy you." His eyes go wide and he looks at her. Her mouth is open, but she doesn't look confused. More surprised.

"So, you admit that you have feelings for me?"

"I-you.. No!" She crosses her arms. "Just a bit.." She shakes her head.

"Just a bit. I don't believe that at all. Just a bit isn't enough for me." She walks away, and he feels horrible.
