(A/N: This is yet another long chapter, but I had a ton of fun writing it. And I must give another special credit to my muse, editor, and partner in crime: Bobbius Maximus. He had lots of hilarious inspirational ideas, especially for the end of the chapter when the Narnians meet Luke. So if you read this, Bobbius Maximus, this next chapter is for you.)
"Get off of my foot!" Edmund screamed at someone as the group was struggling through the closet.
"Who just poked me?" Lucy asked.
"I didn't touch you!" Anakin yelled.
"Will you stop pushing me?" Peter exclaimed.
As usual, there was arguing, pushing, and shoving as the group made their way into the closet that would lead them to the Jedi Temple. Finally, all ten of them fell out of the closet and onto the stone floor behind the stage in the auditorium. The Narnians slowly looked up at their new surroundings to take in where they were now.
"This is Yavin?" Lucy asked, sounding very astonished.
"Yes it is, Lucy. And right now we are in the Jedi Temple." Jaina replied.
"Doesn't look very exciting to me." Edmund grumbled, earning yet another whack on the head from Peter.
"Um, Edmund, we're actually behind the stage in the auditorium here. That's why it doesn't look very exciting." Anakin said.
"Oh, right." Edmund said.
"You're such an imbecile, Ed. You know that?" Peter snapped at his little brother.
"Allright, enough fighting for now. We're going to take you to meet our Uncle Luke first, since he is the Jedi Master who runs this temple." Jaina said.
As the Solos lead their Narnian friends out from behind the stage and into the main auditorium, they were amazed at how huge it was. It was almost as big as the throne room at Cair Paravel, but they were still amazed at the size of the room and the fact that this was the place where Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin lived.
"You actually live here?" Susan asked.
"Yes, we do. We've been in training to be Jedi knights for years, so it was best that we come live here while we train. And our mother and father live here as well, so it's pretty nice." Jacen said.
"That sounds delightful to have your family here." Mr. Tumnus said.
"Oh it is, we love being here with our family." Jacen replied.
Everyone smiled as they walked out of the auditorium and followed the Solos down the hallway towards the main elevator that would take them upstairs to where Luke was. Unfortunately, along the way, they came across a very familiar sight to Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin: it was C-3PO and R2-D2 bickering and arguing over some small trivial issue as usual.
"For the last time, R2, that is not the proper way to change the door code!" C-3PO snapped at the little droid.
R2-D2 spewed out yet another round of angry beeps to which C-3PO responded "Don't you call me a malfunctioning half-wit, you overweight glob of grease!"
"Do you protocol droids ever learn to behave?" Anakin asked, sounding exasperated.
The droids turned around to see the Solos behind them, but there were even more surprised to see the Pevensies, the beavers, and Mr. Tumnus standing there with them.
"We have visitors, oh my!" C-3PO exclaimed.
"Yes we do, 3PO. These are our friends from Narnia." Jaina said.
"Well, allow me to introduce myself. I am C-3PO, human cyborg relations. And this is my counterpart, R2-D2." C-3PO said as he introduced himself and his partner, to which R2-D2 responded with a series of welcoming beeps.
"You're a what?" Mr. Beaver asked in confusion.
"He's a protocol droid. We told you about him back on Narnia, remember?" Jacen replied.
"Oh right, those things. Well, pardon me mate." Mr. Beaver said to C-3PO.
"Oh, that is no problem at all." C-3PO said, which earned him another round of beeps from R2-D2.
"Yes I know, R2. But they're our visitors, please behave yourself." C-3PO responded.
"3PO, do you know where our Uncle Luke is?" Anakin asked.
"I certainly do, Master Anakin. He would be in the Jedi practice room on the level above us practicing some Jedi techniques, I believe." C-3PO said.
"Thank you, 3PO. We'll be on our way now." Anakin said and lead the group down the hallway towards the elevator.
As everyone made their way further down the hallway, they could hear yet another argument starting between the two droids. R2-D2 beeped quite loudly and C-3PO angrily responded with "Oh switch off, you rusted scrap pile!"
"Are you sure there's not a human in there?" Edmund asked, which earned him the reward of a smack in the stomach from Peter.
"Enough, Ed. Just be civilized for once!" Peter snapped, then turned to Jaina and asked her regarding the droids "Are they always like this?"
"Oh yes, you'll eventually learn to live with them." she replied.
"They're funny." Lucy piped up as the group stepped into the elevator.
Jaina giggled at her friend as she held her hand, Lucy did indeed have a very good point. However annoying the droids were, they always provided a good comic relief for everyone.
Upper level of the temple
The Solos lead the way to the Jedi practice room so their Narnian friends could meet their Uncle Luke. Understandably, the Narnians were quite nervous about meeting this man that they only heard of as a Jedi Master. They were constantly fidgeting as they walked towards the practice room.
"Stop it, love. You look lovely." Mr. Beaver said to his wife.
"Sorry, dear. But this is a great man we're going to see." Mrs. Beaver replied.
"Do you think your uncle will like me?" Lucy asked Jaina as she continued to squeeze her hand.
"I'm sure he will, Lucy. In fact, I'm sure he'll like all of you." Jaina replied.
"Don't worry, Lucy. This man is their uncle so I'm sure he'll be as nice as they are." Susan said to her sister.
"A wonderful point, my lady." Mr. Tumnus added.
The Solos blushed at Susan's comment. They were pretty happy to receive a wonderful compliment from one of their Narnian friends. They were still feeling happy when they approached the Jedi practice room and heard the hum of a lightsaber coming from inside.
"Are you sure we won't be disturbing your uncle?" Mr. Tumnus asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tumnus. He won't be offended by our presence." Jacen said as he slowly Force opened the doors to the practice room.
Everyone was greeted with the sight of Luke swinging his lightsaber at a small floating remote, blocking laser beams being shot out of it. On top of it, he was doing it with his eyes closed. This obviously didn't surprise the Solo kids as it was an exercise they had done before themselves, but it was a huge surprise to the Narnians. They were extremely curious as to how this man could block these laser beams every single time with his eyes closed.
"How does he bloody do that?" Peter whispered to the Solos.
He was soon answered when Luke shut off his lightsaber and the remote, opened up his eyes, and said to everyone "Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them."
"Oh, thank you." Peter simply said, being just as surprised as the others that Luke actually heard him whisper.
"I was just about to say that myself." Jacen whispered back to Peter.
Luke calmly walked right up to the seven Narnians, who were taken aback by his calm, collective personality. They were even more taken aback by what he said next.
"Welcome to Yavin, King Peter the Magnificent." he said as he placed a hand on Peter's shoulder.
Peter was very surprised that Luke knew his name and they hadn't even been properly introduced yet. He was even more surprised when Luke greeted Susan as Queen Susan the Gentle and Edmund as King Edmund the Just.
"Did you tell him our names?" he asked Jacen.
"Yeah, but we didn't tell him your official titles." Jacen replied.
Finally Luke approached Lucy, who was still holding Jaina's hand. He smiled at the little queen as he patted her on the head.
"Ah yes, Queen Lucy the Valiant. You must be the one we've heard so much about from my niece here." Luke said.
Lucy giggled as she looked up at Jaina then back at Luke and said "Yes I am, sir."
As Luke walked up to greet Mr. Tumnus and the beavers, Edmund suddenly blurted out "How in the blazes did you know our names?"
Peter, Susan, and Lucy groaned at Edmund's smart aleck comment, but Jaina simply replied "The Force told him your names."
"The Force? I'm fed up with all this Force rubbish! There's no such thing as the Force!" Edmund exclaimed and received another sharp glare from his siblings.
"Now you've really done it, Ed." Peter snapped, having a very bad feeling about what was in store for his brother.
"Oh, you really believe there's no Force?" Luke asked as he stood right in front of Edmund.
"Of course there's no Force, in fact I can be a better Jedi than you without the Force!" Edmund exclaimed.
"I see, young one. Well, why don't we see what you can do? Go stand in the doorway there and prevent me from coming through." Luke said and pointed to the doorway on the other side of the room.
Edmund walked over there and stood in the doorway with a smug grin on his face. Remembering that he also had his sword with him, he drew it out of his sheath, held it out in front of him, and exclaimed to Luke "Bring it on!"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that there's going to be an extra challenge." Luke said as he handed his lightsaber to Jaina, then said to Edmund "I'll do this unarmed."
"Piece of cake." Edmund said, still having a smug grin on his face.
Looking quite worried, Susan leaned over to the Solos and whispered "I'm not sure this is a good idea, your uncle going at Edmund unarmed."
"No, it'll be fine my lady. Just watch this." Mr. Tumnus said as he crossed his arms and put an amused grin on his face, exchanging it with Lucy as both of them had a very good inkling of what was coming.
Luke calmly walked right up to Edmund, who still had his sword drawn and was still grinning smugly. Luke simply waved his hand in front of the young king and whispered to him "You will put away your sword. You don't need it."
"I will put away my sword. I don't need it." Edmund said as he put away his sword.
Peter and Susan stood there completely shocked at what just happened. They could not believe that their little brother was following orders for once. The others simply started snickering, especially Lucy who had her hand over her mouth as she was trying not to laugh.
"Is that our Edmund?" Peter asked in amazement.
"Just watch, it gets better." Lucy said in between snickers.
"You will take off your boots. You have no need for them in here." Luke said in his next instruction for Edmund.
"I will take off my boots. I have no need for them in here." Edmund said as he slipped off his boots.
By now, Peter and Susan were starting to snicker along with the others. The Solos looked over at them in anticipation of what would come next for poor Edmund.
"You will place your boot on your head." Luke said.
"I will place my boot on my head." Edmund said as he picked up one of his boots and placed it on top of his head.
Lucy, no longer really able to contain herself, grabbed Jaina's robe and buried her face into it to stifle her laughter. Peter and Susan were leaning on each other for support as they tried not to fall over from laughing. Meanwhile, Mr. Tumnus was still standing with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face and the beavers were sitting up on their tails desperately trying to control their laughter. That would prove to be impossible with what came next.
"You will now demonstrate your dexterity by spinning in a circle." Luke said.
"I will now demonstrate my dexterity by spinning in a circle." Edmund responded as he twirled in a circle on the balls of his feet.
"You will now announce your intent to go to sleep within the next 5 seconds." Luke said.
"I will now announce my intent to go to sleep within the next 5 seconds." Edmund said.
Luke waved his hand in front of Edmund, who stumbled back against the wall and slid down the wall into a deep sleep. By now, his three siblings were kneeling on the floor and holding onto each other for support, barely able to contain their laughter. Luke simply strolled right through the doorway and turned around to look at the sleeping king.
"Wake up, young one." Luke said as he waved his hand in front of Edmund.
Edmund rubbed his eyes as he woke up feeling a little groggy. As he became more awake, he looked up and saw Luke standing in the doorframe with his arms crossed. Jaina, still smirking, came over to help Edmund stand up.
"What the bloody hell just happened?" Edmund asked.
"You should know, Ed. You saw me do the exact same thing to the ogre." Jaina replied.
Edmund, looking completely surprised, looked over at the others to see his siblings lying on the floor with tears streaming down their faces from laughing so hard.
"Finally, you've learned to do as you're told." Peter said as he wiped tears from his face.
"What did you just do to King Edmund, sir?" Mr. Tumnus asked Luke.
"The Force can have a strong influence on the weak minded." Luke simply responded.
Peter, Susan, and Lucy just lost it at this point. By now, they were laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt. Edmund, not being able to make a comeback to this one, just stood there with his face turning tomato red.
"Not so just anymore, are we Ed?" Lucy said, setting off even harder laughs from Peter and Susan and the Solos.
They were laughing so hard, they didn't even hear Han and Leia walk into the room. Having heard some loud laughs from the hallway, they came in to find out what was going on. They were greeting with the sight of Luke standing in the doorway grinning, Edmund standing against the wall with his face turning redder by the second, and the others practically dying of laughter on the floor.
