Chapter .1.
The siblings had spent the past eight weeks getting used to being in England. And they were now back at school at St Finbars and Hendon House.
Peter and Edmund were relying on each other to get through each and every day as they were too smart for their classes. Edmund had been moved into Peter's classes. Which some teachers didn't like and thought he somehow cheated.
They had been only back 8 weeks and they were already
sick of England and their ages that everyone treated them as kids when they had outgrown that long ago.
The boys stuck together out of class and their teachers all thought it was weird that the elder Pevensie hung around with his kid brother. Especially with how they treated each other before they left for the country.
"I am sick of it here!" Edmund says frustrated.
"I know Ed. Patience my brother we will be back in Narnia soon and with our beloveds", Peter says.
They had practised using sticks for swords too and they had to find a place and hide it from the teachers. They used these practices to take out their frustration and angry. One thing stick fighting was good for was getting their anger out of them and not taking it out at the teachers and it helped with their control of their emotions so it wouldn't bust.
Also it helped at being treated like kids or in Edmund's case getting asked by his old friends to cause trouble. Which Edmund always refused.
At least another positive was that it kept them in shape for whenever they get back to Narnia.
"Time to head in", Peter says.
They all hid away their 'swords' and make their way to clear up. They all make their way to the dinning hall at the same time and see all the student body was excited.
"What is going on?" Edmund asks a fellow student.
"Look at the paper!" the student says giving the paper to Peter and Edmund.
Peter and Edmund look at the paper and felt hope build inside of them.
Special Edition
Unknown Kingdom Comes to England!
At Nine o'clock this morning a strange event happened in Hyde Park that shook everyone that saw it. A portal had opened up in Hyde Park right in front of everyone's eyes! A portal between worlds a strange phenomenon that not even scientists can think of an answer too.
Out of the portal came beings of legend such as Centaurs, Fauns, Dwarves and talking animals! Their General came over and said his name was General Orieus and they were from a world called Narnia which had many different lands connected too it.
The Creatures have no ill will towards us and have come on a diplomatic mission and maybe a negotiation mission. The General said they were looking for their missing monarchs.
The Police immediately cordoned off the area and the Narnian's did their side with talking wolves! The police still have to deal with crowds of people wanting to catch a glimpse of creatures of legend.
Sir Winston Churchill will be going to Hyde Park tomorrow to talk to the Narnian's and take them to King George VI to discuss why the Narnian's are here and set up negotiations.
There was a picture down below of the Narnian's and General Orieus in the front of them with Mr Tumnus beside him and Mr Fox and Mr Beaver too.
The boys eyes shine with hope. They had a way back. But would the Narnian's recognise them as the children they were at the moment? They had to tell their sisters, but their sisters properly already knew. But they had to get their Mum met them at the Park tomorrow.
"Everyone has been asking me if our trip to Hyde Park with St Finbars is still going ahead tomorrow with what has been in the news today. And we are still going and maybe we will be able to see some of those Narnian's while we are there! Years 1 and up are going and you should have your permission slips", the Headmaster says.
Peter and Edmund were excited for what tomorrow would bring. They were going home! But tomorrow they would have to explain themselves not just to the Narnian's, but the Prime Minister, King George VI and their mother.
It was going to be a long day.
Oh the joy of diplomacy…
St Finbars…
The girls weren't having much fun either as they had also surpassed their classes here a long time ago and all the etiquette classes too, they had passed long ago as they were Queens of their Kingdom.
Lucy had also taken up practising with wooden swords to get their frustration out. She even convinced Susan to join her.
But it was more difficult to hide here at St Finbars then the boys school. The girls were always constantly watched. Especially them it did not escape the teachers notice that the Pevensie girls came back from the country changed. And had more elegance than they had before especially Lucy. Had gone from shy to confident.
And had been moved up a grade because her work was too easy for her.
The girls head inside after fixing up their clothing from being outside and practicing with sticks till they were nearly spotless.
They see all the girls in the school were excited about something and many had copies of the paper in their hands.
The Headmistress had gotten up as the girls come in to make an announcement and the girls didn't have time to find out what was going on.
"Everyone has been asking me if our trip to Hyde Park with Hendon House is still going ahead tomorrow with what has been in the news today. And we are still going and maybe we will be able to see some of those Narnian's that are there when we go. Years 1 and up are going and you should have your permission slips signed. Have a goodnight sleep ladies we leave early in the morning", the Headmistress says.
They girls quickly snatch a copy of the paper and read the article and they had to hold themselves from squealing. They had a way of going home and maybe returning to their original ages!
"Do you think the boys know?" Lucy asks.
"I am sure them do. They are probably also ringing Mother to get her to come to Hyde park for a family day", Susan replies.
Susan looks thoughtful for a minute.
"We better ring too. It will give her much more incentive to give in if we ring too", Susan says.
"How?" Lucy asks.
"Let me handle it", Susan says quickly getting up to go and talk to the Headmistress.
She was going to use all her skills as the Gentle Queen to get to use the phone to call her Mother and she hoped it would work…
Finchley…London
Helen Pevensie had been confused a lot since her children returned from the country. For one they even little Lucy who was 9-years-old didn't act like a child anymore. They all acted way beyond their years.
First Peter was the authority among the children they even looked to him first for approval and not her. And where Peter had been struggling to cope with being the man of the house and the big brother figure to his siblings. Now he flourished into a man, but he was only 15 and it didn't seem right to Helen that he acted like a grown up now.
Susan had once decided that growing up was a way to cope with the war but it had never worked but now Susan when her grown-up façade at been crumbling mess she hid behind to cope with the war, now true maturity had taken its place.
Edmund had resented the fact their father had left them to join the war abandoning his family to fight and became spiteful and cruel to everyone as a result especially Lucy. Now he spoke quieter, with more thought and when he did speak everyone took in his words as they held maturity and weight among his siblings where they hadn't before. Edmund had buried himself in law, politics and history books from his Fathers study. If he was not reading he challenged one of his siblings to chess or a game of deep thought. Edmund also would talk more to his siblings and had debates with them.
Lucy had been clingy and shy and didn't want to be out of Helen's sight before. But now she wasn't shy she also held maturity and she didn't play with her toys or dolls anymore they just gathered dust on the shelves. But Lucy still laughed with carefree childlike laughter. But she had a very deep knowledge of illness and wounds for someone of her age. Whenever her older siblings scrapped their knees or the others had unexplained injuries Lucy was always there dealing with it. She didn't care about the blood or dirt she just fixed her siblings up and sent them on their way. That was not an act of a little girl.
Her children looked after each other playing with sticks outside in the backyard. Nearly giving Helen a heart attack when she first saw them thinking they were trying to hurt each other but they explained they were just playing a game they made up in the country.
Susan and Lucy were gracious and polite and so were the boys they navigated social occasions and functions with tact and skill that made Helen look like an amateur.
Helen was bought out of her thoughts by the phone ringing. It was Peter wanted to get the family together all in one place in Hyde Park tomorrow so they could have a family day he thought they needed.
Peter explained that they had missed her so much that they wanted to get together if only for an hour. Helen said she would think on it.
Susan rang next and asked the same thing Peter did to spend time with their Mother with the rest of the family.
But Helen wasn't sure after reading the paper today and not believing what she was reading. Could she go to the Park? Was it safe with those mythical creatures? But she was sure Lucy would love it.
Helen decided she would go just to see her kids acting like kids for a change she told Susan she would meet them at the entrance to Hyde Park. Helen also told Susan to tell Peter and the others the plan which Susan promised.
She hoped this outing would be what she needed to see some of the old actions of her children. She sure hoped so. But little did she know her life was about to change all together and forever…
