AN:/ hola. well, i hope everyone is having a wonderful time, even if the weather is beating you down. but anyway, this is the chapter you have been waiting for... sorta. but may i remind you, even if i didnt put this in the summary or in ANY of the chapters, this is an AU story. i thought that it would be obvious in a way. i know, that i must respect the characters, but please remember, i am young and still learning. i am going into 8th grade. i may have really good grades, but there are still some things that i dont excell in yet. i still have loads to learn. but anyway, here is a brief summary over what has happened in the past few chapters.
on the night Susan and Caspian got engaged, Lucy kissed Carter but then ran away, leaving Carter in question. three months later, on the night of Susan and Caspian's wedding, Carter decided to ask why she ran. she said something that he didnt take well and he ended up making a very big mistake. so days after, things have become awkward between the two. the pain became unbearable for the both of them, and Lucy did the unexpected. but after she returned, she and Carter became friends again, only to have a huge fight. and this is where we left off.
Disclaimer: i dont own Chronicles of Narnia; that belongs to C.S. Lewis. if it belonged to me... why would i be writing on this beloved site called Fanfiction when i could be writing a new novel? i dont own any of the songs that match and/or are related to the Narnia movies. i do not (sadly) own Skandar Keynes. i love him deeply (as a fan would) and wish i could. but he is a human being with a living heart and lives with feelings. it is his choice as to who he is with or what he does. now, please enjoy.
It's been a few days since Lucy and Carter's argument. But all they have been doing was getting Caspian's birthday party prepared. Lucy used her time just so she wouldn't have to see Carter. She was still happy, but seeing Carter made her blood boil with anger. She couldn't believe that she fell for a jerk like him; she felt foolish now. She didn't care anymore if he were with some girl; she didn't care at all and hoped that they had a great life. When Susan asked how she felt about Carter with other girls, she always spoke with venom and sarcasm in her voice. But normally, when she was not around Carter, she'd be happy. She was always helping the girls get Caspian's party ready. She sent the invitations to the royal and noble families of Archenland, Calormen, Terenbinthia, and all they had to do was invite the townspeople. Narnians were of course invited there and everything was set.
Caspian, Peter, Edmund and Carter were doing nothing to help the girls with the party. As Susan had said, she wanted them to be surprised when they saw the work. So, they just wasted their time on the practice grounds. Caspian and Carter fought as Edmund and Peter fought. From time to time, they rotated. So, Caspian would fight Edmund and Peter against Carter, or Caspian against Edmund and Caspian against Peter. As of now, it was Carter versus Edmund and Caspian versus Peter.
"So, how are you and Lucy doing?" Edmund asked as he made a strike to Carter's side.
Carter deflected easily and pushed back Edmund's sword. He pushed hard, but he didn't mean to. "What does it matter?" Carter hissed. Seeing or talking about Lucy made him pissed off. Not only was he mad at her, he was mad at himself. He regretted saying all of those things to her; he regretted ever making her feel hurt. But one good thing came out of the argument; she DID like him. But still, he felt angry whenever she was mentioned or seen. So he did the best to avoid her.
"I was just asking." Edmund said as he blocked a blow. "Did something happen between you two again?"
"Nothing really to worry about." Carter hissed. He made a hard blow and Edmund ended up losing. They all decided to take a break and just rested.
Carter just lied down on the grass looking up into the sky. The white fluffy clouds made him feel as if he were in a dream. Caspian took a seat next to Carter and lied down next to him. They looked up at the sky in silence and in peace.
"What's wrong this time? What happened?" Caspian asked quietly. Carter got tense, but told his long time friend.
"Lucy and I got into an argument, a very BIG argument."
"How big?"
"We called each other… rude names. And, she ended up slamming her door, her crying and me in pain."
"Who ended it?"
"Technically, I ended it, but in the end, she won."
"How?"
"Well, I said some… mean things…"
"Okay, what was the argument about?" Caspian said, sitting up.
"To be honest, I don't really know. She just asked a question and I just snapped."
"And the question was?" Edmund asked as he and Peter came up.
"Well, remember how I told you that when she was explaining why she kissed me and then I left? She said for me not to leave but I did. So she was asking why I didn't stay."
"And how did it end up?" Peter asked.
"Well…"
"How did it end up?" he asked more firmly.
"Well, it didn't end well if she and I make each other angry! Isn't it obvious that she bloody hates me now? Isn't it obvious that every time she sees me or hears my name, she speaks with hatred in her voice? Isn't it obvious that she wishes that we never met?" Carter shouted at them. They looked at him questioningly. Carter looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry for that."
"It's alright. But can you tell us what happened?" Edmund asked.
Carter was about to speak until he heard his name.
"CARTER!" They all looked towards the door to see Lucy. She had her arms crossed over her chest and didn't look too happy. "You need to go see Susan. She wants you to do something for her."
"And what exactly may that be?" Carter shouted back, his own anger spilling through his words.
"That is why she must see you." she shouted firmly. "She asked for you so you must go."
"Fine!" Carter stood up and walked towards Lucy, placing his sword in its sheath. He walked alongside with Lucy, but the air around them was tense. She brought him to the ballroom and he was amazed. The ballroom was looking so spectacular that he couldn't even speak.
"She's over there, just so you know." she spat at him. He glared at her and she did the same. She headed over to some Narnians who were doing the entertainment; music in other words. She conversed politely with them and she smiled brightly. Carter was watching them talk and couldn't help but feel upset again. He REALLY missed her. But they were angry towards each other, and nothing would bring them together again. Gaining his posture, he walked over to Susan, who was telling some Narnians were to put a few things.
"You asked for me Susan?" Carter said, taking her out of the rearrangements.
"Ah, yes. Thank you for coming Carter. Please, don't tell Caspian ANY of this. I want him to see this and be surprised."
"I wouldn't tell him this for the world. It's too beautiful to ruin a surprise."
"Thank you. But anyway, I called you over," she started, but she was beginning to lift a plant. Carter helped her by taking the plant. He placed it in the place she wanted and looked back to her.
"You were saying?"
"Yes, I need you to do me a favor. You see, we wanted to invite the townspeople to Caspian's birthday party and-"
"You want me to spread the news?"
"Actually, I want you to escort the person who will be spreading the news."
"And that is…?"
"You very well know who it is, Carter." Susan said in a serious voice.
Susan turned to look behind her and Carter followed her gaze. They were looking at the one girl Carter wished he hadn't had an argument; Lucy.
"Lucy, can you come here for a minute?" Susan called. Lucy was pulled from her conversation with Lacara and walked over to Susan and Carter. She glared at Carter once she reached them but looked kindly at his sister.
"You need me, Su?" Lucy asked.
"Well, do you think that that you can announce Caspian's party today, actually now?"
"Well, of course I can do that. But why is he here? Didn't you ask him to do something?"
"Yes… well actually-"
"It turns out I'm escorting you, Queen Lucy." Carter said, looking bluntly at her.
"What! Susan why him? Why can't I just go on my own? I can handle myself." Susan was about to answer before Lucy all of a sudden talked to Carter. "Did you just call me queen? I thought Gwendolin would make a better queen than I would any day."
"Lucy, listen I was angry at that moment-"
"But I knew you meant it. You always mean what you say! So I bet Gwedolin would be pleased that you want her queen instead of me; but I doubt she'll last a day as queen, seeing as all she does is flirt with guards like the slut she is."
"Gwendolin is NOT a slut! Don't you dare talk about her like that!" Carter shouted.
"I can talk about her like that all I want! You don't control me! You think that I'm just a helpless girl that can't get a guy! You think that I'm just a girl who is desperate for attention. But I'm not! I can talk about her all I want."
They continued their rather loud argument, but not many people noticed. The only ones to notice were Lacara and Maribel. They looked at each other awkwardly but continued their work.
"You know what?" Susan said, stopping them from arguing any further. "Don't do it. I'll get someone else to."
"Are you sure, Susan? I can still go as long as I'm not with him." Lucy stated.
"I'd go if I weren't going with her." Carter stated his side.
"What happened to you two? You were being great friends and all of a sudden it's like your enemies. What happened?"
"An argument happened. An argument that doesn't need to be known." Lucy said rather harshly. "I'll go, as long as I'm not with him."
"Lu, you need protection-"
"No, I don't! I'm a big girl! I'm already seventeen! I can go alone and I will." Lucy said. She walked towards the door, or tried to. Susan grabbed a hold of her hand, but Lucy just simply slipped away. Lucy continued towards the door, not turning back. Susan sighed and looked back at Carter.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for that argument." Carter said.
"It's fine. Just… go back to the guys. Don't say a WORD about this." Susan told him.
"My lips are sealed." Carter promised. Carter then headed out of the ballroom and headed back to the practicing grounds. He had to tell the guys about the argument.
Lucy walked out of the castle and into the towns. Everyone greeted her with smiles and bows. She made her way to the tree, where they had once crossed. She put her hand on the bark, and closed her eyes. Lucy looked back at the crowd that had formed and smiled.
"As you all know, King Caspian's birthday is coming up on August 20th." There was slight chatter from the crowd and Lucy continued. "And we would like you to come to the ball. The entire town is invited and it will be two nights from now. Please, come and enjoy this special day with us. Thank you." The crowd started to split so that she could go through. She smiled at them and made her way back to the castle. Once she got in, she walked back into the ballroom.
"I sent the message. Everyone knows now." Lucy told her sister. Susan looked towards her and smiled.
"Thanks Lucy. I appreciate it."
"It was no problem at all." Lucy said. She went back to talking to the Narnians about the music, making some arrangements for something. She wanted it to be a surprise and didn't tell anyone.
"Lucy?" she turned around and saw her sister. "If you need to talk to me, about Carter-"
"Susan, please! I'm fine! I can handle this."
"And by handling what do you mean?"
"I'm not going to be all depressed again. I'm just going to ignore him."
"You can't ignore him for the rest of your life." Susan said firmly.
"Well I can try." She said forcefully. Susan looked at her with a very serious face.
"Susan, I appreciate you trying to help, but just realize that I can handle this by myself. I just want to be alone… I want to think. And I can do that by myself. I can deal with this. I've grown up a little you know."
"I know you did, Lucy. Just know that I'm here okay?" Susan said.
"Okay, thanks."
"Anytime. Now, what are you up to with the Narnians about the music?"
"Oh, nothing." Lucy smirked and Susan smiled.
Carter walked to the practicing grounds and saw his friends sitting there on the grass. He walked over to them and sat down as well.
"So, what did Susan want?" Edmund asked.
"I was just supposed to escort Lucy to town."
"And?" asked Peter.
"She went alone."
"Why?" Caspian asked.
"Another argument. But now, do you want to know what happened in our argument?"
"YES!" the three kings said.
"Well, it was all about that one kiss I gave that girl."
And all of a sudden they started yelling at him for doing such a thing.
"HEY! IT'S NOT MY FAULT! She asked the question and then it turned so huge that we began calling each other rude names."
"What kind of rude names?" Peter asked.
"Well…"
"Carter!" they shouted.
"Really, REALLY rude names… you wouldn't really want to know."
"On a rate of 1-10, how bad?" Edmund said.
"Um… 100."
"Please don't tell me you have been using the eff words!" Caspian said.
"Well…"
The three kings groaned and Carter just looked down.
"It was about that girl you kissed wasn't it?" Edmund asked.
"Yes, it was about her. Gwendolin seemed to piss Lucy off."
"Gwendolin? Is that her name?" Peter asked.
"Yeah…"
"And what things did you say to Lucy?"
"Things I wished I never said."
"Well, I'm pretty sure things will be alright between you two." Caspian said placing a hand on Carter's shoulder.
"I doubt that too much Caspian. But thanks for the support."
"Anytime, Carter. I just wonder how Lucy's taking it."
"I think she's actually taking it fine." Carter said. "I don't think she wants anyone actually to mind about her." Carter said.
"Is that your anger talking or is it actually you?" Peter asked.
"I think it's both."
A few days have passed since then and it was Caspian's birthday. He slept peacefully in his bed, feeling comfortable. He felt kisses go down his jaw line and he slowly opened his eyes. He looked down at his wife and smiled.
"Happy Birthday, Caspian." She said to him.
"Thank you, love." He smiled and kissed her. It was a soft kiss, and Susan broke away, no matter how much Caspian wanted it to last. He groaned when she pulled away and she laughed.
"You'll get much more later, sweetheart. I promise you that." Susan said.
"I'm holding that against you." He told her and she laughed just again.
"Come on, we need to get up. Everyone is coming today and they'll be coming soon."
"Do we have to? Can't we just stay here?" Caspian said, holding onto Susan's waist.
"No, we can't. The girls and I worked really hard on your party so come on. We need to get up."
"Ugh, fine! But remember, you owe me a LOT of kisses later."
"I know." She smiled at him. As she got up, he reluctantly let go of her waist and they both got up.
They both got dressed and headed down to the dining room. As they walked, many servants greeted Caspian a happy birthday. When they reached the dining room, they were greeted by their friends.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASPIAN!" they all shouted. They all got up from their seats and went to hug him.
"Happy Birthday, Cas! You're twenty-one! Live your life to the fullest like Pete!" Edmund said, giving him a brotherly hug.
"Shut it, Ed. Happy birthday, Caspian." Peter said, giving his brother-in-law a good handshake.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASPIAN!" Lucy said, running to him and giving him a big hug.
"Thanks, Lu."
"Happy Birthday, Caspian. I really hope today is the best day for you." Lacara said, giving him a hug.
"Oh, my dear brother! You're twenty-one now! I can't believe it! Happy birthday Caspian!" Maribel smiled at him, tears of joy forming.
"Why are you crying?" he asked as they hugged.
"I thought I'd never see you having a family… spending your birthday with the legendary Kings and Queens of Old. I'm just so lucky to have a brother like you, Caspian."
"Hey, Caspian. You having a good birthday so far?" Carter asked, giving his friend a hug.
"The best. Thank you, all of you! I'm having by far the best one. Thank you." Caspian told them.
"Well, come on! Let's celebrate your birthday breakfast!" Edmund said. They sat down and began eating away their food. They all talked about Caspian's party and things planned. Turns out, the guys are supposed to wait in the room once they finish dressing until Lucy comes for them. Everything was about set.
Later that afternoon, the royal and noble families of the neighboring lands were arriving. Just in case, they were given assigned rooms. Some arrived early, others arrived later than they had expected. But either way, everything was going as planned.
Soon, night was upon them and it was time to celebrate. Music was playing and everyone was having a great time. Susan, Lacara, Maribel and Lucy were in the ball room, getting a few things ready. Lucy had to talk to the Narnians before she got the guys. Susan, Lacara and Maribel were watching with curiosity as she continued to talk. When she walked up to them, they had their eyebrows were raised.
"What?" Lucy asked, smiling brightly.
"What was that about?" Lacara asked.
"Oh, nothing. It's actually a surprise. You'll see it later." Lucy smiled.
"Okay… well, can you go get the guys right now? It's time." Maribel asked.
"Of course. I'll be back."
Lucy left the ballroom and started to walk to Caspian's room. She was so happy about today. She was able to celebrate Caspian's birthday with their family, she was going to have a niece/nephew soon, and she was going to perform. 'This day couldn't be any better, well, it could be,' she thought. She was still a bit angry at Carter, but not really. It was hard to get over him, but very easy to forgive him. She just wanted him in her life again. She was tired of the stupid drama they were going through and wanted to be friends again. She actually wanted to be in a relationship with him, but he would never let them. Now that she thought about it, she realized that when they were arguing, they were spilling out what they felt about the other. "It probably would've made me more upset!... Tell me that purpose! Probably I'll forgive you for breaking my heart!" She couldn't believe it, he did like her. She shook her head; everything was going bad for them right now. But, like she had promised, or at least promised herself, she would get over him.
She reached Caspian's room and knocked on the door. She waited a while, humming a tune before the door opened and she was pulled in. She stumbled in and looked around. Carter was the one who pulled her in. She looked at him and he looked at her.
"Lucy." he said calmly, but somewhat sternly.
"Carter." She said, in the same tone. "Why was I pulled in?"
"Because Edmund doesn't want to be seen." Peter told her. He looked at his sister with wide eyes. "Lu, you look beautiful."
"I agree with Peter." Caspian said, kissing Lucy's temple.
"I agree as well. You look as beautiful as ever." Edmund said from the bathroom.
Lucy was wearing a dark fuchsia strapless dress. The bodice started under her bosom and ended at her waist. It was a violet color, just plain yet elegant. It hugged her form nicely and perfectly. She wore a translucent cardigan-like cloak. The magenta colored cloak was stitched in with sparkles. Her hair was in a cute but slightly loose bun. The messiness of it made he look sweet and innocent. The necklace that Caspian and Susan had given her was around her neck, and she wore matching earrings. She was smiling brightly, which made her glow.
"Yeah, you look amazing." Carter said quietly. No one really heard him, except Lucy. Due to this compliment, she just smiled more. But she didn't let him know that she heard.
"So, what is it about Edmund?" Lucy asked.
"I feel like a fool!" he shouted.
"And why is that?" she asked, getting closer to the door.
"Because of the coloring."
"Just step outside and let me see." So, he did step outside. Edmund got prepared for the laughter, but heard none.
Lucy took a good luck at him; her eyebrows were furrowed and she circled him. Edmund felt a little nervous about this. Edmund was wearing clothes similar to the one he wore when they left Narnia for the second time, except this was blue.
"I don't see what's wrong with it. It's just like the one you used when we left. You weren't ashamed to wear it then, why are you ashamed now?"
"Because Lacara's there and I want to look nice for her." Edmund said.
"She loves you no matter what you're wearing. And besides, you still look good." She said. Edmund smiled and hugged her. He kissed her forehead.
"Thanks, Lu."
"Who can't you cheer up?" Peter asked smiling.
"What can I say? It's just who I am." She joked. She smiled at all of them. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go celebrate Caspian's birthday!"
The guys cheered and they headed out of the room. They headed to the ballroom, but the guys had to wait outside of the ballroom. Lucy came out and brought them inside. Once they entered, the entire room shouted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
The entire room was spectacular. There were streamers hanging all around and everyone was there. Music was playing and it was just grand. Caspian's smile got wider and he saw Susan in the middle. He made his way through the crowd and brought her into a hug. She laughed and hugged him tightly. He kissed her fully on the lips and hugged her again. He broke away from the hug and looked at her.
"Thank you, so much!" Caspian said.
"I told you that you would be surprised." Susan said.
"You look absolutely beautiful." Caspian told her. She blushed and pecked his cheek.
Susan was wearing a one shoulder silk dress. The sleeve short and loose. The upper part of her dress was a violet color and as it entered the mid-section, it started to become a different color. And as it reached the bottom, it was a dark fuchsia color. It hugged her delicate state pretty nicely and yet it fit her perfectly. Her wavy ebony hair was tied to her right side and was curled at the bottom. Her amethyst necklace shone brightly.
"Happy Birthday again, Caspian." Maribel said, hugging her brother.
"Thanks, Maribel."
"Caspian, happy birthday… again!" Lacara said.
"Thank you, so much. You cannot believe how wonderful this is." Caspian said.
"You can't believe how hard it was to keep this from him." Carter said, taking his side by Caspian. They all laughed.
"You two look beautiful." Peter said, looking at Maribel and Lacara.
"Absolutely beautiful." Edmund said, looking at Lacara in awe.
Lacara wore a dark fuchsia dress that was technically strapless. But she had a translucent violet colored halter. And under her bosom, another violet colored translucent was used, practically covering her entire dress. But luckily, the translucent cover was lightly colored, so you could still see the dress. Her hair was tied up high, the ends of the ponytail curled. Her bangs fell to the right side and she wore minimum make-up; basically it was just lip gloss. She smiled at Edmund and gave him a quick kiss. He smiled at her and wrapped an arm around her waist.
Maribel was wearing a light red dress. The sleeves fell off her shoulders and it was light and roomy. Her bodice was violet colored and started from under her bosom and ended at her waist. It was a corset like bodice with five small black X's. It fit her perfectly and showed off her curves. It was very simple but very elegant. Her hair was in a loose but cute braid. Her long bangs fell to her left side. She looked simple but very beautiful and elegant. She looked at Peter and he gave her a quick peck on the lips. She smiled at him and he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Well, I think it's time we eat. I'm really starving." Edmund said.
"When aren't you?" Caspian asked. They all laughed and they went to eat.
The night went by really quickly. They did loads of dancing and lots of mingling. Lucy actually got to know one guy named Blaine. He was a lord's son from Calormen. He had a built body and was a respectable person. He was about Lucy's age, seventeen. He had shaggy but very attractive black hair. He was a guy any girl would die for; but he was a guy that would die for Lucy. She noticed the attention he was giving her and decided that it wasn't bad to talk to him. She danced with him a couple times but most of the time she danced with Caspian, Peter or Edmund.
After a dance filled with laughter with Edmund, Lucy took the stage. She smiled at everyone and began speaking. "Well, I hope you are all having fun. I just want to say Happy Birthday once again to Caspian, my brother." She smiled at him and everyone began clapping as they turned their attention to Caspian, who was seated comfortably next to Susan. They turned their attention back to the young queen. "Caspian, you are and have been a part of our family and always will be. I love you, we love you and we know you do too." Everybody began to clap again and Lucy smiled, but she still wasn't done. "I believe there are a few actions to be done here so, I need Caspian, Edmund and Lacara to come up to the stage please." Everyone cheered as the three monarchs walked over to the stage. Caspian took the stage first, with Susan beside him.
"Well, I don't know how I will say this." Caspian started off, nervous and kind of laughing. The crowd slightly laughed and looked back at Caspian. "Well, first off, I want to say thank you for coming tonight. This is by far the best birthday that I have ever had."
"And there are more to come with Susan planning." Edmund said. The crowd laughed and so did Caspian.
"That is true. But today, is a really special day. Susan and I have received a gift any couple would be blessed to have." The crowd started to murmur, their suspicions arising. "Yes, King Caspian and I will be having the heir to Narnia." Susan said. The crowd blew into cheers and danced around. "Susan is a month pregnant. We learned this just a few days ago and we are so happy to learn this news." The crowd cheered again and they were all smiling.
"Now I think it is time for Edmund and Lacara to share their news." Susan said, smiling. She looked off to the side and looked Edmund. Lacara was confused, but still smiling. Edmund nodded at his sister, his smile making her smile more. Caspian and Susan stepped off of the stage and Edmund took the stage, his hand holding Lacara's.
"Hello. First off, I want to again say Happy Birthday to Caspian. Caspian," Edmund turned to Caspian, having a load to say. Susan's eyes grew wide, due to the fact that Edmund was going off subject. "Caspian has been my best friend ever since I met him. Before he and Susan got married we already considered each other brothers. I had his back, he had my back- we helped each other through everything. He is still my best friend, so I find it weird when he and my sister are "doing things"." Edmund gained a laugh from the crowd while Susan and Caspian turned pink. "But anyway, Caspian deserves a birthday party like this one. Susan planned all of this and it's a really great party. So, Caspian is very lucky; very lucky to have Susan, very lucky to have friends, very lucky to have the family he wanted since he first met us. Caspian is one lucky guy, so happy birthday Caspian!" the crowd cheered again, raising their drinks.
"But, there is something else I want to say. Lacara," Edmund turned towards her and held both of her hands. "For these past few months that we have been courting, I've learned so many things from you. I learned how to be a better swordsman; I learned that you are there for everyone, no matter what you are going through at the moment. I also learned that whenever you aren't with me, I feel empty. I learned that you love it when I tuck strands of your hair behind your ear," as he said that, he tucked some strands that came loose behind her ear. "I learned how to love someone with so much passion. I love you 'Cara, from the deepest depths of my heart. So," Edmund got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. The ring had a three hearts, the middle one being larger than the rest. "Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
The crowd held silent, waiting for Lacara's response. Lacara was definitely smiling and she looked out into the crowd. She found her friends and they were smiling up at her. She smiled widely and looked back at Edmund and nodded. Tears of joy flowed down her cheeks and Edmund grinned. He slipped the ring onto her ring finger and got up. Lacara pressed her lips to his and they kissed passionately. The crowd again broke into cheers. Caspian, Peter and Carter were whistling and tears fell down Susan and Lucy's faces. Maribel broke into a very wide grin and cheered along with the crowd. Lacara's parents, Demetri and Sophia were crying with happiness. Their baby girl was about to get married. Vordan, Lacara's brother was smirking like a maniac and was whistling along with Carter, Caspian, and Peter.
Edmund and Lacara broke away from their kiss and let their foreheads rest on each other. They were talking to each other, not letting anyone else hear about what they were speaking. Not that the crowd would care anyway, they were too busy cheering. But then Lucy came up and hugged both of them.
"Congratulations you two! Lacara's going to be my sister!" Lucy shouted excitedly. Edmund and Lacara left the stage to hug their other friends. While they did that, Lucy began to speak again.
"Well, isn't that a lot to take?" she joked. "Caspian and Susan are getting a baby; Edmund and Lacara are getting married. This is all such great news!" as she spoke, tears of happiness slowly flowed down her cheeks. "Well, in honor of Caspian and our entire family, I wanted to do something."
One of the musicians gave her an acoustic guitar and she put it around her. "Every single one of us needs a home, whether we like the home or not. But this, being here in Narnia, being in this castle, I feel like I'm home. And I know that my family does as well. So, Caspian, Susan, Ed, Pete, 'Cara, Maribel and Carter; this goes to you."
It started off with a piano, playing the same rhythm. It was soft and light, but beautiful all the same.
"I've got my memories. They're always inside of me. But I can't go back, back to how it was. I believe you now,"she started to strum her guitar lightly.
"I've come too far. No, I can't go back, back to how it was." She was singing beautifully, her voice hitting high pitches that work perfectly with the song.
"Created for a place I've never known."She paused, and started to strum a little harder. And other musicians followed her.
"This is home, now I'm finally where I belong, where I belong. Yeah, this is home. I've been searching for a place of my own. Now I've found it. Maybe this is home. Yeah this is home." The other musicians who were playing the guitars stopped and let the piano play. Lucy gave a light strum and continued.
"Belief over misery. I've seen the enemy. And I won't go back; back to how it was." Lucy stopped playing and a bass player started taking her role. The piano played a little harder, but still the same rhythm.
"And, I've got my heart set on what happens next. I've got my eyes wide it's not over yet. We are miracles, and we're not alone." She hit that pitch slightly high, but very beautiful. People were dancing along with the song; people were waving their hands in the air. Some were clapping along with the beat. They were smiling. Her family was smiling and crying with happiness. She started to strum again, with the same energy she used. The other players followed.
"Yeah, this is home. Now I'm finally where I belong, where I belong. Yeah, this is home. I've been searching for a place of my own. Now I've found it. Maybe this is home. Yeah this is home.
"And now, after all my searching; after all my questions. I'm gonna call it home. And now, I've got a brand new mindset. I can finally see the sunset. I will call it home." She poured her heart into this verse and strummed with a little more power. By the end of this verse, she and the guitar players paused and let the piano play. But it was only a second where they started strumming again, all the musicians putting all the power they used.
"Oh! This is home! Now I'm finally where I belong, where I belong. Yeah, this is home. I've been searching for a place of my own. And now I've found it. Maybe this is home. This is home. Now I know! Yeah this is home." Lucy and the guitar players stopped, letting only the piano play. It continued its soft and light tune.
"I've come too far, and I won't go back. Yeah this is home." She let one last strum and she stopped. The piano stopped and the room broke into cheers. She smiled at everyone, her cheeks going slightly pink. Everyone was clapping and full of smiles. She sang wonderfully, her voice like an angel's. Who knew that she was this good?
She slightly bowed and then she let the other musicians bow, since they were part of performance and she wouldn't have pulled it off without them. She gave the guitar back to one of the performers and got off the stage, letting the party continue. She walked over to her family and they rushed over with a hug. She hugged Susan first, then Caspian. Edmund kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly. His eyes were glistening, glistening with happiness. She embraced Lacara and congratulated her again. Peter picked up his sister and spun around, gaining a laugh from her. He kissed her temple and smiled at her. Maribel was next and hugged Lucy tightly. That was one of the most heartfelt things Maribel was given. She was thought of as family. And last but not least, Carter. They looked at each other awkwardly, but shook hands. Sure, it wasn't the best thing to do when thanking someone, but it was one of the only things they could do. They slightly smiled at each other before Blaine came through.
"Lucy, my dear, that was absolutely magnificent! There is more to you than meets the eye." Blaine said, taking Lucy's hand and placing a kiss on it. His lips lingered on her skin, making her heart race with both tension and excitement. Carter watched and couldn't help but feel pain and anger run through his veins.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Edmund asked, sensing Carter's disapproval without even looking at him.
"I'm sorry, sir. I am Blaine, son of the Calormen Lord, Kash-Han. It is an honor to be in the presence of the Kings and Queens of Narnia, along with the soon-to-be wife Princess Lacara and the Princess Maribel of Telmar/Narnia. It is a pleasure to meet the great knight and friend of Narnia's rulers, Sir Carter." Blaine said, taking a bow to the royals.
"It is nice to meet you Blaine. I hope that you are having a pleasant time." Peter said, his voice slightly dripping with venom. Blaine didn't seem to notice the venom in his voice, but everyone else did.
"I am having an outstanding time; and I plan on making that extraordinary." Blaine replied. No one noticed but Blaine's hands had slipped under Lucy's light cardigan and stroked the bare skin of her back. Lucy inhaled sharply and everyone noticed. Blaine's hands quickly slipped away as Carter went to inspect what Blaine had just done. Carter looked at Blaine with a stare that would make anyone look away, but Blaine did not give in.
"Are you alright Lucy?" Susan said.
"I'm fine. It's just- a slight chill is all." Lucy said. She knew exactly what Blaine had done and did not know whether it was good or bad.
"Well, I certainly hope that you are not coming down with a cold. I would hate to see you suffer from an illness." Blaine said, taking Lucy's hand in both of his. Lucy slightly smiled, and Carter just made a silent gag. Everyone but Lucy and Blaine saw Carter's motions and did their best not to laugh. "If it is alright your majesties, may I please have a dance with Queen Lucy?" Blaine asked.
"Go ahead." Maribel said a little cautious. Blaine whisked Lucy to the dance floor, leaving everyone speechless.
"Did he say Calormen?" Susan said, a little pitchy.
"I hope he isn't like that…" Edmund started, but his voice faded.
"Well, he seems like a good man." Maribel said, her suspicions still rolling through her head.
"But it could be an act. Like the one that-" Peter started before Susan let out a small squeal, covering her mouth and letting tears slowly fall.
"I wouldn't talk about it, Peter." Caspian said, wrapping his arms around his wife.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"It's alright. I'm fine. I just don't want Lucy to go through with what I did." Susan said, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.
"I don't like him at all." Carter said with hatred.
"Why?" they all asked.
"He was the one that made Lucy inhale like that. He did something to cause that."
"And how do you know?" Maribel asked.
"I-It's just… I-"
"Are you sure it's not jealousy?" Susan asked, saying her words slowly and softly.
"I'm thinking that it might be that but I don't believe all that nice stuff from him. I don't believe it at all."
Lucy and Blaine were dancing when he asked a question.
"Have you given yourself up to anyone yet?"
"I beg your pardon?" she asked incredulously, a little anger heard.
"I was just asking a question. There is no need to feel angry about a question." He said simply, making it seem like he was innocent.
"Well, isn't that a little too personal? I would think that it would be." Lucy said, a little tense.
"Well, if you think it is, then yes. Yes it is a little personal. I'm sorry for asking." He said as he twirled her.
"It's alright. I'm sorry for sounding so angry. I was just… caught off guard."
"I understand. If this subject makes you uncomfortable, we can change it." Blaine offered.
"Can we please?"
"Of course. So, what is your relationship with Sir Carter?"
"Just friends. More like… friends who barely speak anymore."
"May I ask why; if it is alright with you, my queen."
"It's alright. We just had a bad fight and... well, we just made each other mad."
"Ah, I see." He dipped her and brought her back up, making her close to him. She got a little uncomfortable with her position and moved back a bit before continuing the dance.
"Was there anything… romantic between the two of you?"
"What?" she said as she whipped around to face him. "There were… very few things. But nothing extreme. There was nothing really, just small details."
"Ah. I understand. Well, is there anything going between us?" he asked, stopping the dance and looking at her. She looked into his gray eyes and was instantly sucked in. She blushed slightly and looked down.
"I am beginning to hope so." she told him. He smiled and they continued to dance. But that was until a musician came over.
"I'm so sorry for intruding your majesty." she said. "But there are many who have requested for you to sing again."
Lucy smiled at the musician. And then she looked to Blaine, seeking his approval.
"I'm fine with it. I want to hear that beautiful voice of yours again." he told her. She smiled and went with the musician.
"Do you have a song in mind your majesty?" she asked.
"I have one; remember that song I talked about with being haunted?" Lucy asked.
"Of course. I have been practicing and I daresay that I am becoming well at it."
"Well, good; that's the song we're going to do." Lucy said. They both got up to the stage and the woman grabbed her violin, along with others. A man took the piano and waited for Lucy.
"Well, hello again! I was told that many of you wanted me to come back up here and sing again; is that true?" Lucy said. The crowd was shouting in approval and some nodding their heads. "Okay, then. Well, I have this one song that I want to sing. It might be a downer but the meaning is truly deep. I have been going through something and this song really describes it. So, please enjoy."
Once Lucy started singing, the piano player started as well. "You and I walk a fragile line. I have known it all this time. But I never thought I'd live to see it break." She paused for at least three seconds, letting the piano play before continuing.
"It's getting dark and it's all too quiet and I can't trust anything now. It's coming over you like it's all a big mistake." She paused again, until it was time to sing again. The piano began to play harder.
"Oh, I'm holding my breath. Won't lose you again. Something's made your eyes go cold.
"Come on, come on. Don't leave me like this. I thought I had you figured out. Something's gone terribly wrong. You're all I wanted." Violins started to play, along with the piano and Lucy. "Come on, come on. Don't leave me like this. I thought I had you figured out. Can't breathe whenever you're gone. Can't turn back now; I'm haunted!"
It had a slight sad tune to it, but all the while it sounded spooky but deep. The violins and piano played in time together, making a perfect rhythm. And then, the violins stopped, letting the piano play and Lucy with her beautiful singing started again.
"Stood there and watched you walk away. From everything we had. But I still mean every word I said to you. He will try to take away my pain. And he just might make me smile. But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead." The piano started to play harder again and the violins pitched in.
"Oh, I'm holding my breath. Won't see you again. Something keeps me holding on to nothing!
"Come on, come on. Don't leave me like this. I thought I had you figured out. Something's gone terribly wrong. You're all I wanted. Come on, come on. Don't leave me like this. I thought I had you figured out. Can't breathe whenever you're gone. Can't turn back now; I'm haunted!"
The piano and violins worked together to create a suspenseful sound, making the crowd smile and clap along to the beat. It did sound like a song that would be haunting someone. And with Lucy singing it, it was a total success.
"I know. I know. I just know. You're not gone. You can't be gone, no!"
The violins played intensely, making it spookier but beautiful.
"Come on, come one. Don't leave me like this. I thought I had you figured you out. Something's gone terribly wrong. Won't finish what you started. Come on, come on. Don't leave me like this. I thought I had you figured out. Can't breathe whenever you're gone. Can't go back; I'm haunted!
"Oh, oh, oh, oh. You and I walk a fragile line. I have known it all this time. Never ever thought I'd see it break. Never thought I'd see it." the song ended with the piano and violin stopping at the same time. Lucy sighed, looking out into the crowd. The entire time she sang that song, she was looking at Carter. It was meant for him.
The crowd clapped again and cheered, enjoying their queen's entertainment. Lucy was taking very deep and slightly quick breaths. She smiled again and bowed. She let the musicians bow as well, they well deserved the attention. And then Lucy stepped off the stage and walked towards the table. She sat down and grabbed her glass. She poured in some wine and brought the cup to her lips. The wine almost reached her mouth just when Edmund took it away.
"Hey! I was drinking that!" Lucy told him.
"Hey! You weren't drinking it. It almost touched your lips, but then I took it away." Edmund said, bringing the cup to his own lips. "And now I drank it. You shouldn't be drinking Lu. You're too young for it."
"I've drunken wine loads of times." She protested while taking her cup away from Edmund and drank out of it.
"That was thirteen hundred years ago." Edmund said, making his point.
"Okay, while that may be true, I'm close to age. Actually, I AM the right age to be drinking. Besides, it's not like I'll get drunk or anything. I just need a drink to cool down. You try performing twice in one night."
"Well, technically, people do perform more than once in one night."
"Oh shut up!" Lucy said, smiling.
"Alright, I'll stop talking about that. But you sang beautifully Lu. You and Susan have got to be the best singers in the family."
"No, we aren't. But thanks."
"Was that last song for anyone in particular?" Edmund asked, looking at his sister with serious eyes. Lucy was about to take a sip from her drink before Edmund asked that. When he did, the cup stayed at her lips, but no liquid was drunk.
"Yes… and I know that you know who it is." Lucy said before taking her drink.
"Okay, okay. Just asking a question." He took Lucy's cup and drank out of it before giving it back to her. Once she had it in her hand, she went to drink out of it but it was empty. She looked up at Edmund and he grinned.
"What can I say? We ALL know I love to drink."
"Just don't make a habit out of it."
"Of course I won't. We know I wouldn't do such a thing unless it was a party. So, if you could?" he was asking Lucy to get a cup for him but she just shook her head.
"Fine. Well, I'm going to go. I promised a dance with Susan so, see you later Lu."
"Bye." Edmund left Lucy sitting there. Lucy took deep breaths and smiled; but then a thought came across her mind: they would want her to sing again. She slightly groaned, but then laughed to herself.
"You sang great, Lucy."
She looked up and saw the person she was willing to be with.
"Thanks, Carter. That… means a lot."
"Anytime."
"Carter!" they both looked back to find a girl, running up behind him and hugging him from behind. "What are you doing here? You promised me a dance." She slightly whined and giggled.
"I'm sorry. I was just complimenting Queen Lucy on her singing." Carter told her, but as he looked towards Lucy, he slightly rolled his eyes.
"Queen Lucy? Oh my god! Queen Lucy! You sang so beautifully and you did wonderful! You have such a wonderful talent and you're so beautiful! I wish I was as beautiful as you." She waited for a response from Carter, but nothing was heard from him.
"Carter, don't you think I'm beautiful?" she asked.
"Yes, Gwendolin, I think you're beautiful." He said, in a slightly annoyed tone.
'So this is Gwendolin.' Lucy thought in her mind. Gwendolin had long and wavy light brown hair. She had grey eyes that made you believe that she is innocent. But only a guy could fall for that. Lucy saw through Gwendolin's eyes; something wasn't right about her. She had a skinny figure, making her seem fragile and weak. But Lucy saw that she had a weapon on her leg. It was too obvious. In a way, she looked like Lucy, just… different. And it seemed like Carter didn't like her at all.
"Thank you, so much. You don't know how much that means to me. This was my first time performing." Lucy said to them in the nicest voice she could muster. Carter heard the fakeness in it and tried to prevent from laughing.
"Anytime, your highness. I hope you have a wonderful time." she giggled a bit.
"Trust me; I'm having the time of my life." Lucy said. And this time, she was being entirely honest. Carter noticed this and couldn't help but feel a little left out.
"Well, Lucy, we must go. Like Gwendolin said, I promised her a dance." Carter said.
"That's right! Let's go." Gwendolin dragged Carter through the crowd. He looked back at her and mouthed "I'm sorry." She smiled at him and then he disappeared. Things were starting to go well between them.
"Are you ready for another dance, my queen?" Blaine said, walking up to her. She looked up at him and the small happiness in her eyes faded.
"Yes. I'd enjoy another dance." Lucy said. Blaine took her hand and led her to the dance floor.
They danced next to a bunch of songs, the night passing on.
Blaine and Lucy were drunk with happiness and had loads of fun. They walked into the gardens, and walked deep in; where no one could possibly hear them with the music going. Lucy was smiling and Blaine… he had to be up to something. His eyes looked over her body devilishly and his smile became wicked.
She walked a little bit ahead and took a flower into her hands; a Camellia. She remembered when Carter gave her the Camellia before they had the fight. She remembered when he gave her a Camellia when things were awkward between them. She remembered everything about the things they have done. Now, now she regrets her words. She sadly smiled and placed the flower behind her ear. She looked at Blaine and smiled at him, telling him to follow her. He did as she asked and followed her to the fountain. She sat down on the marble stone and looked down at her hands. He sat down next to her and looked at her, sensing something was up. And as he looked at her, he was plotting.
"Is everything alright?" Blaine said.
"Yes. Everything's fine. I was just… thinking is all."
"You know, I've been thinking too."
"About?" she looked up at him, her eyes full of wonder.
"When you would give yourself to someone. I mean, it could be any lucky man."
"I'm sorry?" Lucy asked, becoming confused.
"A lucky man like me. A lucky man like me could be given your loveliness."
"I'm sorry. I don't follow." Lucy said, becoming very confused and scared. She cursed herself for not bringing her dagger.
"I want you Lucy. I want you NOW. And I know you want me." he said in a very husky and needy voice.
"I'm sorry. I think you're mistaken. I don't want you like that and don't want anyone like that until I am ready. Now, excuse me." Lucy said getting up and beginning to walk away. But Blaine grabbed her wrist and twisted her around.
"Don't tease me, my queen. Teasing me makes me want you more." He brought her to him and forced her lips on his. She struggled against, trying to push him away. She kicked his shin and he let her go, letting her run. But she didn't make it far.
"Oh, don't think you can run. I always get what I want." He grabbed her again and forcefully kissed her. She screamed with anger into the kiss but he kept her mouth shut. He pushed her to the ground and his hands ran over her body. He kept kissing her and she tried to pull away, but he was too strong.
"I want to see how ready you are. I want to FEEL how ready you are." He growled. His hand started to go up her dress and she tried to scream. But Blaine put his hand over her mouth. He smiled wickedly at her and his hand was getting close. Tears ran down her face; she hated being the tool. She shut her eyes, scared to see what he would do.
But then suddenly, both of his hands were released. She opened her eyes and saw Carter on top of Blaine, beating him up. Lucy sat up and stood up quickly. She watched the scene before her and winced. Carter punched Blaine left and right, hitting his stomach, chest and anywhere that was hittable. But then, Blaine punched Carter in the face, making Carter recoil and fall. Blaine looked towards Lucy, and wickedly smiled.
"You're mine." He growled. He started walking towards her when Carter jumped onto his back and pulled him down. Carter looked towards Lucy and then looked back at Blaine.
Blaine stood up quickly and tried to punch him in the stomach, but Carter moved aside and punched him in the stomach. Carter punched him again in the cheek and pushed him down hard. Carter grabbed Blaine's collar and whispered in his ear.
"Don't mess with the Queen. Don't mess with the royal family. They have men that would kill anyone who dare touch them like you touched Queen Lucy. Just remember, I'm the protector. So anything that happens, I will know." Carter told Blaine. He let Blaine fall back onto the floor and went to Lucy. He enveloped Lucy in a loving hug and held her close.
"I was so worried." Carter told her.
"You, worried? Why?" she asked, looking up at him with teary eyes.
"Because the girl I love was about to get raped by someone who doesn't deserve her." Carter told her.
"You love me?" she asked, smiling at him while crying.
"I always did." He told her. She smiled at him brightly. He leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss. It was slow and soft, but slowly became passionate. Lucy's hands softly went through his hair and his arms wrapped around her waist tighter. Finally, they became a couple. They broke apart and let their foreheads rest on each other.
"But my question is, do you love me?" Carter asked her. She smiled at him and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
"I always did." She smiled at him. He kissed her again and then Caspian came. He saw them and smiled. But then he saw Blaine on the floor, holding his stomach.
"Guards!" Caspian called. The guards came over and took Blaine away to the dungeon. Lucy clung to Carter as Blaine walked past. He held her tightly, as if he never wanted to let her go.
"What happened?" Caspian asked the newly found couple.
"Blaine tried to take Lucy. He tried to take her here, and she was being forced." Carter said.
"Okay. Now, what happened here?" he asked, referring to the way they were holding each other.
"Let's just say that you would like to hear this." Lucy said. She and Carter smiled at him and looked at each other.
"That's good! VERY GOOD! You have to tell the others! They've been waiting for this to happen." Caspian said, as they walked back into the castle.
Once they got in, Gwendolin was found kissing a drunken lord's son. Carter didn't mind, and Gwendolin didn't care. Lucy and Carter told them what had happened but everything was fine. They were worried about the sexual attack on Lucy, but everything changed when they were telling how Carter saved her. In fact, everyone was happy that they were finally a couple. It took so long that they were about to start betting. But everything was just great.
The night from there on turned out great. Peter ended up drunk, and Maribel dragged him to his room. But, she was tired and never left his room. She slept on the couch, making sure that Peter would soon be all right in the morning. Susan and Caspian went to sleep in peace, Caspian's hand on Susan's growing belly. Carter kissed Lucy goodnight at her room and then left for his room. They both fell asleep peacefully and happily. Edmund and Lacara… well, let's just say that they have been busy for the rest of the night.
AN:/ hola again. how are you doing today? sorry for a long update. ive been working on this for a while, but i had to go to sports camp (it is really fun). but like school, it's weekly and i have to get up at 9 am. but unlike school, i can choose which weeks i want to go there. XD okay, i hope you liked this chapter, especially Carter and Lucy's make-up scene. wasnt that sweet. i know, the ending was short, i didnt feel like adding anything else. and next birthday up: EDMUND'S BIRTHDAY! lol. just so you know, most of the personalities and birthdays of the characters are based on the real actors. so, for Caspian the character, he was born on August 20th. Ben Barnes (we all know him), was literally born on August 20th. in my story, Lucy can play the guitar and sing. in real life, Georgie Henley can play the guitar and can sing. im not sure if she actually could, but i read off a site that she likes to play her guitar and sing. please tell me if that info on Georgie is wrong if you do know. i'd appreciate it. and, if you recognized the lyrics to those songs, these are actual songs.
here's the link for the first song that Lucy sang: .com/watch?v=UsIssn9wk5Y&feature=player_detailpage
and here is the link for Lucy's second song: .com/watch?v=mZo6PZvUSNk&feature=player_detailpage
these are both beautiful songs and i love them... i should just continue onto the review replies.
Freta/Freya: because of my late updat, BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and thanks! i liked it too. that was actually my favorite part.
Missbroadwayboundfanfic: lol! the girl would be a mini Susan. lol! (we will find out the gender when he/she comes)
Sulocasp237: alrighty! your vote is a girl... *writing down* lol, dont we all. every time he does something like that we just gotta love it. it is sad, isnt it? lol, and your welcome.
Illusion Delilah: thank you! *blushes* =)
readingrox101: it was... and like all of us, she's scared to actually confront it. =)
Harunifuyu: aw, thanks. okay, your vote has been entered. lol. it would be, but it's fixed now. d:
LoiseDGirl7123: as you have wished, it did get better. =) i'll try to get Peter/Maribel in. i'll try. =)
Calyn: I have already sent you a message, but then I forgot to add a few things. For starters, the swearing thing actually did help; and by that I mean about what you said about it. I'll tone it down, but it'll be there once in a while, but not as much. About the modern-day teenage language, I just realized what you meant when I read your review. And surprisngly and incredibly stupid of me (please dont leave a comment calling me stupid, i'm very sensitive), I then thought of a proper way to say it. I think my other thoughts on her words would be proper for her to say, but I'm not entirely sure on what you would think about it. And again, I was just trying to create suspense. Plus, I was just experimenting. I had intended to put something else, such as letting her go to that lake, let her weep, and then go back and try to make amends with Carter. But I was just testing. I will no longer use that excuse; but please remember that I am merely a middle schooler. You're in college... our ranks are different. You have experienced lessons that I have not even got to yet. So, I still have a long way to go in writing. And this goes for everyone: no one wins. It's just one opinion against others. It's not worth it. I understand that you (as readers) are defending me and my story, but I'm fine. Sure, I don't entirely like the flames, but I'm getting used to it. So, in conclusion to you Calyn, no one wins on Fanfiction. It is just opinions and they are just trying to help me out. I understand if you don't like what they say in those rude messages, but there are times when people take things a little too far. So in this case, you are fine. You actually did provide some help. But thank you, for being able to help me see some things that were blocked in my vision. (half of the time i was writing it was REALLY late at night). Thanks, really. I really like the help.
elen: thank you! it was sad, but they finally pulled it together. and she did say yes! =)
thegentlequeen: lol! they could've, but things would have again been a bit weird. annd Carter says that he kind of deserves your words. :P XD lol, that's an idea! =)
Shining Friendship: it's all right. everyone gets busy, me included. it took me a while to think of unique names. and lol! they finally got their happy ending, didnt they? =)
okay, well, i really loved how you guys are sticking to my story. i think it's going to end soon. probably in five-ten chapters... XD but i do believe it is ending fairly soon. but, i still require votes of what the gender of Susan and Caspian's baby will be. remember, if you win, you get to join me in my end skit-things with the characters of Realization. so, i need over 385 reviews. please, over 385. your reviews are what encourage me to keep writing. so please, over 385. OVER 385!
PLEASE REVIEW!
