A/N: Hey everyone! I thought I wasn't gonna be able to update today cause I ended up in the hospital for most of the morning...i'll tell y'all about that later. For now, enjoy the story!

Lucy walked quietly through the courtyard, hoping no one besides Susan knew she was here.

"Alexander? Are you here?" She whispered, it was unusually cold this March morning, as Lucy clutched the cloak tightly around her, she thought she heard a twig snap and abruptly stopped.

"Hello? Alexander?" She called, running deeper into the garden, sticking to the shadows.

"What are you doing, mi lady?" Alexander asked from behind, scaring the thirteen-year-old.

"Alexander! You scared me!" She half shouted, half whispered, punching him gently in the shoulder.

"Forgive me, your majesty."

"Please, call me Lucy, "your majesty" is so formal."

"Well then, Lucy, what made you decide to come meet me so early in the morning?" The boy asked, walking along side her.

"I never got to thank you for helping me in town yesterday, no one else would have done what you did."

**Flashback**

Lucy was at the local market, gathering fruit for breakfast, and several other essentials. Walking through the town, she hadn't noticed that her dress was a little too long for her, even when she tripped over it, spilling the fruit and getting her dress all dirty in the process. The youngest Queen looked like she was about to cry, utterly humiliated, as she started picking everything up.

"Here, let me help you, your majesty."

The Pevensie looked up to see a handsome young man, no older than fifteen, his blonde hair pale against his skin, his emerald green eyes looking into her blue ones.

"I really appreciate it, that's really nice of you." She answered as he helped her pick up the last of the fallen fruit and putting it in the basket.

"I'm Alexander."

"I'm Lucinda Marie Pevensie, but people usually call me Lucy, or Lu, but that's only my family." The Queen explained, shaking the young mans hand.

"I know who you are...why don't I buy you a new dress? You look like you need one."

Lucy smiled.

"Oh, thanks, but you don't need to do that, I have plenty of other dresses back at the castle."

"No, I insist mi lady, allow me."

The Valiant Queen couldn't say no, so she agreed to get him to stop pestering her about it, and he bought her the nicest dress he could find, fit for a Queen.

**End Flashback**

Lucy smiled at the memory, a memory she would never forget.

"Alexander, I would like to invite you to Susan's birthday party of sorts, it's in a month, on April 15th, would you please come?" She asked, brushing a strand of long brown hair out of her face.

"I would love to, Lucy, will you wear that dress I bought you?"

"Of course."

The two sat down at the elaborate fountain and talked and talked for several hours. About their families, their childhoods, and everything in between. Briefly forgetting about the threat of Murdoch that loomed over them.

I hope Peter doesn't freak out at the party...

However, both were un aware they were being watched...
