I own nothing...

Susan was shown by a servant girl to Caspian's study whose door was open. When she entered, Caspian, Professor Cornelius, Trumpkin and Trufflehunter where already there with their backs turned to the door looking down at Caspian's desk as he spoke to them. She looked around the room to see the walls covered in ancient paintings (much like on the Dawn Treader), large bookcases ran along the walls. Placed in the centre of the middle bookcase, of the middle shelf was Lucy's healing cordial and dagger presented in a wooden box, next to it sat Edmunds torch. On top of one of the cabinets she saw her bow and arrows delicately placed in the centre. Her heart filled with pure joy and she wanted nothing more than to hold them, but she knew it would seem rather rude so she controlled her impulse. Next to the cabinets was a glass door that leads out onto the balcony. On the right hand side of the room was a large sitting area near a large fireplace. On top of the mantle was her horn that she had given to Caspian to hold on to in case he needed her again. She smiled at the memory flooding through her mind and Caspian's desk and chair where placed in the centre of the opposite side of the room. Whilst she was still stood near the doorway, admiring his study, Professor Cornelius looked up from the desk and saw her.

"Queen Susan!" he greeted her with open arms walking towards her and leading her towards Caspian's desk, "Come, we have almost finished here." She smiled and walked towards the desk and her eyes met Caspian's who was now stood tall giving her his complete attention. "I have just sent Glenstorm with the order to sent scouts across Narnia looking for any sign of trouble or reasoning as to explain why we have been graced once again by your presence." Caspian told her.

She gave a little smile and looked down to the map of Narnia spread across the desk. "Yes I suppose my siblings and I have become symbols of that there is danger in Narnia."

"Although you may arrive in times of need your majesty, the ancient ways of Narnia spring back to life with your presence. None one would dare think of the return of the Kings and Queens of Old as a bad omen." Said Trufflehunter

She smiled down at him and gently said, "It is better to be safe than sorry, I understand. There must be some reason as to why we have returned... Alsan did after all say that we were not to return."

"Whatever the reason, I am glad you have." Said Caspian. Her eyes met his and the others exchanged knowing looks between each other with slight smirks on their faces. "Me too" she said, their eyes lingering on each other longer than needed.

"Finally!" said Lucy as she, Edmund and Peter entered. "What is it with men and asking for directions?" she said with a huff as they approached Caspian's desk and they all smiled at her. "Well I managed to find it didn't I?" Said Peter and Susan and Lucy, Trumpkin and Edmund raised an eyebrow remembering how adamant Peter was about knowing where he was going. They were filled in on Caspian's orders and nodded in agreement.

"I wonder why time in both of our worlds began to match simultaneously" said Edmund.

"That is a good question, I doubt we will find out the answer though, who can even begin to understand the depths of time" said Lucy.

"Trumpkin, could you send letters to our ambassadors in the other Kingdoms for them to keep an extra eye out for any signs of trouble? If so we are to be notified immediately." Asked Caspian in a Kingly tone.

"I'll get right on it" said Trumpkin and he gave a small nod to them and began to walk out of the study when the Professor and Trufflehunter offered to help him and they all went on their way.

"Whilst we are all in her together, I can think of no better time..." said Caspian and he headed towards Susan's bow and arrows and held them out to her. She smiled and slowly walked over to him taking them from him and blushing when their hands touched for a longer moment than necessary, "Thank you" she said as her fingers caressed her bow lovingly. "Your most welcome" he said and he turned to one of the bookcases and handed Edmund his torch and Lucy her cordial and dagger. He walked over to the mantle and gently picked up the ivory horn and walked back to Susan who was watching his every move. "I think I've held onto this long enough," he said to her with a smirk. "Are you sure you don't need it?" she asked slightly teasing him and he chuckled "If I remember correctly it was you who needed it after all." And she smiled taking it from him. Edmund rolled his eyes at having to witness their flirting and decided to change the conversation.

"So we can't really save Narnia if we're not sure if it needs saving, so what's on the agenda for tomorrow?" he asked and the all turned to Caspian.

"There is a council meeting tomorrow which of course you are automatically members of if you should wish and I usually go to help with the final building construction of the village with the people after the meeting..." said Caspian

"Sounds like a great idea!" said Peter.

"I agree, but right now I'm starving!" said Edmund

"When are you not?" said Caspian playfully as he stood with his arms folded across his chest looking mouth watering. And they all went down to dinner.
