Chapter 10:

Another year passed. Again, a lot had happened. Holly and Margaret joined a fencing team. Because of Holly's Narnian background, she always placed first in the women's division. However, she did like to fence smart mouthed boys who thought they were superior.

Margaret went back to Narnia (but that's another story). Holly was shocked when Margaret gave her the message that Caspian, Reepicheep, Edmund, and Lucy all sent their regards.

A few years later, Holly and Margaret were attending a fencing exhibition in England after the war. Their fathers were helping the English rebuild London and the girls were bored.

"Margaret?" a boy asked the American on the sidelines

"Hello Eustace." Margaret greeted the boy from her previous Narnian adventure "What brings you here?"

"My cousin." Eustace said pointing to the fencers. "You?"

"My dad and my best friend's dad are helping rebuild the city." Margaret explained.

Suddenly, Eustace's cousin won.

"Excellent." The referee said. "Anyone else want to challenge the champion?"

Holly walked up in full outfit. Since her hair was pulled up, she looked like a boy.

"Un guarde." The referee said. "FENCE!"

Swords clanked. The two were evenly matched.

"Impressive." Eustace said.

"Which cousin is that?" Margaret said.

"Peter." Eustace answered.

Margaret covered her mouth to suppress laughter.

Suddenly Edmund walked up in a fencing uniform holding a bottle of water.

"I feel bad for Peter." Edmund said not noticing Margaret. "I fought that guy. In less that 2 minutes, he won."

"And you call yourself a king of Narnia." Lucy teased her brother as she joined.

Margaret was having a harder time holding in the laughter.

"Margaret!" Lucy exclaimed when she noticed the High Queen's best friend.

"Dad's helping with the reconstruction." Margaret explained. "So is Holly's dad."

"Is Holly here?" Edmund asked looking around.

"Yes."

"Where?"

"I'll give you three guesses." Margaret teased. "First two don't count. Where's Susan?"

"Out with her friends." Lucy said dejectedly. "She doesn't believe in Narnia anymore."

"I'm sorry." Margaret apologized.

"Peter didn't get the first point?!" Eustace exclaimed as Holly got the first point.

Finally Peter got a point.

"You mean…" Edmund asked pointing at the two fencers.

Margaret nodded causing Lucy to laugh.

"It's not funny." Edmund said.

"Yes it is." Lucy said. "You were beat by the High Queen."

"You mean to say…" Eustace asked.

"My best friend. You'll meet after the bout."

"If it ever ends." Edmund said under his breath.

10 minutes later,

"Times up." The referee said. "This is getting nowhere. It's a tie."

The two fencers sighed and collapsed. Margaret ran to her best friend while the Pevensie's ran to Peter.

"By the lion, he's tough." Holly whispered to Margaret.

"Thanks." Peter said as Lucy gave him a water bottle and he took off his helmet.

"You've gotten better. She whipped me in less than three minutes." Edmund admitted still red with embarrassment.

"She?" Peter asked before turning to his gaping opponent who was still wearing her mask. He did catch sight of a familiar face. "Margaret?"

Margaret smiled as she took off the helmet that was on her best friend. Peter and Holly starred at each other.

Five minutes later,

"This is going nowhere." Eustace said as the two kept starring.

"It could be worse." Edmund said. "When they were reunited when we first met Margaret, these two couldn't keep their hands off of each other."

Sure enough, the High King and Queen of Narnia embraced.

"See?" Edmund asked as if that proved his point.

"I thought I'd never see you again." Peter whispered.

"Same here." Holly said. "I should have realized it was you. You're the only one who can hold his own against me."

The two locked lips.

"Here we go again." Edmund groaned.

The End

A/N: Okay. NOT my best work. Sorry about the way I portrayed Holly. I was going for stubborn, spunky, and headstrong. Hopefully my other stories are much better.

P.S. Let me know if you want Margaret's trip. If you don't, I'll understand.
