This is mildly experimental. Please note the note at the bottom of the thingy. Also, disclaimer: not mine, Lewis'. I used a few quotes from both him and his source material, the Bible. I'm not getting any money from this. Oh, and I hope you enjoy.

Lucy looked at Him. She was so happy - so much so that words could not do justice to it - and yet there was something missing. Someone. "Can You not save Susan?"

"Lucy." His voice was the same as it had always been, warm and wild and rich. "There is a way, but it may be harder than you think."

She gazed at Him, her expression full of eagerness, doubt and fear. "Aslan - "

It was surprisingly comforting, to use His name, that she had scarcely used since the day of the train crash. For a moment He appeared to her, not as He was wont to do now, but as the dear Aslan of Narnia. "No, dear heart. The time for that has passed. No, it is harder for you, all of you. And are you willing to take it?"

Her expression was resolute. "I will do anything, Aslan, anything to help Susan."

"You will not be the same."

"What do you mean?"

"Dear heart, it is too far gone, she is too far gone, for Me to help her now. To do that, you must go back, and be changed."

She longed to ask, but remained silent.

"You will not remember this life. You must rediscover Narnia as you had this time."

"Will we - will we know You, Aslan?"

"Not as you know Me now, dear heart. You must begin at the beginning, but it will be different. In order to give Queen Susan another chance, something will change."

"Will Susan come, in the end?"

"It is hers to decide; but she is perhaps more likely to. It is your choice, too, and you will have none of these memories. They will be given you when the time is right."

"Why can we not try this over again, exactly as it is?" Lucy asked softly. "I am sure - at least, I think - we could persuade Susan, if we could just have it all as it is, over again."

"Nothing happens the same way twice," He reminded her.

Lucy bowed her head submissively, remembering the truth of His words. "When will we be - sent back?" Then she lifted her head and saw the others, all the Friends of Narnia, who must have been intently listening to their conversation.

"Wait." He turned to Edmund. "King Edmund, do you love Queen Susan? What would you do, for her?"

Edmund's reply was instantaneous. "Anything. She is my sister."

"High King Peter, do you love Queen Susan?"

Peter replied a little more slowly. "I loved Queen Susan. My sister, as she was when I last saw her - I do not know."

"What would you do for her?"

"If she were to be returned to her old self - anything."

"True friendship is that a man is willing to lay down his life for his friends - whether they take it or not. High King Peter, what would you do for her?"

Peter hesitated for a long moment. "Anything," he replied at last, and his words were honest.

"Eustace, do you love Queen Susan? What would you do for her?"

"She is my cousin, Aslan. The Queen that she was, I love. To give her another chance, I would do anything."

"Jill, what would you do?"

Jill answered slowly, "I would do whatever You think best. After all, Your guidance helped us to fulfil our task even after I muffed three of the four signs."

There was an expectant silence, and then He said, "And you, Digory, Polly?"

They looked at each other, before the Professor answered for both of them, "We would follow Jill, too, in following Your guidance."

"Good." There was the merest suggestion of a roar in His words, and the whole earth seemed to shake with it. "May it be so!"

Lucy was suddenly aware of it, of everything, as the seven Friends of Narnia glanced at each other, before He - a Lion, once more - roared with such intensity that it blotted out everything else -

Then she was somewhere else, and there were different people surrounding her, and just as she realised what was going on the Lion's roar ceased and the consciousness of Queen Lucy was gone.

So! I'm rather uncertain about this. Should I continue, or not? It's been biting hard at me in the last few days and begging to be posted. I figured I'd write it and see if people like it! This is technically canon compliant, I guess, in that it was completely canon compliant, it just continues afterwards and takes them back to the events of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. So to be clear, if I continue, they will not have their memories. And there's precisely one change - a rather large change that concerns Susan rather largely. I've got the change clear in my notes, but any guesses?

So, what I really want is to see if people like this or not. If you do, please, favourite and/or follow, but especially review! Should I continue, or not?

I'm sorry about my other stories, I haven't got to them yet. Some I have drafts of partly completed chapters, others I don't. I plan to update at least one of them in the next week or so - but after that uni starts again, so it may be a little harder. I'm considering a schedule in which I plan a certain amount of time each week for fanfiction, and see what happens, aiming to post a chapter of something a week - ie, changing my schedule. Any thoughts?

Reviews are greatly, greatly appreciated.
