Chelseypudge(Who plays Hafwen):

Hello everyone! This is a story that imadaywalker and I came up with. We were insanely bored...I hope you like it! Cause we had fun.

Mrs. Peacock (Who plays Rhoslyn):

Hehe! Well, everything HighlanderQueen said was pretty spot on! This story is going to be really fun to write and really fun to read! I hope everyone enjoys!

Disclaimer: We don't own Narnia, as much as we would love it. We just drag Oreius out to play every now and then.

We do, however, own Rhoslyn and Hafwen because they are fashioned to resemble us in Narnian terms. You can't steal our personalities! giggle

Chapter 1

Rhoslyn's POV

"In five, four, three, two, one…" I whisper. "Well, it's about time! I've been up for hours now!" I yell even though I doubt I am going to get a response from the sun.

I hop down from my tree and twirl around. Since winter is around the corner, everything has been so dull. The flowers and other plants are asleep and there is no one to play with.

I hear the birds singing and decide to join in. "Hello, Rhoslyn!" The blue bird whistles.

"Well, hello to you too! I thought you would have migrated by now," I say curiously.

"Today's the day. We will see you in the spring!" Just like that the little bird flew away.

I twirled around some more singing the tune but that got old very fast. "Ah, I am so bored!" I moan. "Hmm…I am up others should be up as well…right?" I dance down the hill all the way towards my good friend Hafwen's cottage.

Hafwen's POV

It was another beautiful day in Narnia. I sat up and stretched with a yawn. I looked about my messy, but comfortable room in my cozy cottage.

I grunt at the sunlight, "Another day I have to face. Oh joy, oh rapture."

I lift myself from the bed and pull on a robe-like tunic. I move into my kitchen and pour myself a bowl of juice.

"MORNING!" Rhoslyn, the Garden Nymph, yelled as she popped her head through the window.

"GAH!" I scream, spilling my juice down the front of my robe.

"You really shouldn't do that, Hafie. Now you have to clean it."

I growl at her and she grins, her face leaving the window.

"Oh, come now, sunshine!" She crows as she enters my house, "Today is a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming…"

"Rhos, can I wake up before I have to be perky?"

She just grins at me and plops herself in the only chair in the kitchen, which I had built for her. She then becomes occupied by the flowers on the table.

I just shake my head and move back into my room to change. I wash my face and comb my hair, only to once again pull it back into a loose knot, as I always do.

I walk back out and smile as I see Rhoslyn talking to the flowers in my kitchen.

"Ready to go to work?"

She jumps and grins at me.

"Always!"

Rhoslyn's POV

"Seriously Hafie! I have been so bored lately! Work has been dead…literally!" I complain as we trudge up the hill. Hafwen snickers.

"Well, today's your last day. At least you get the winter off. Some of us still have to work."

"That's even worse! All that free time is going to drive me up the wall! AHHHH!" I let out a scream causing Hafwen to give me a look.

"You are really one for the dramatics, aren't you Rhos?" I shoot her a dirty look.

"Me, the dramatic one!" I roll my eyes, "Sure." I snap. She ignores my crankiness.

"You should visit with the other nymphs. I'm sure they can entertain you." I mulled it over for a second.

"I don't know, you know how outgoing I am…"

"That isn't an excuse."

"But all the nymphs are gone for the winter!"

"Rhos! Stop it! They aren't all gone. You know as well as I do that the water nymphs stay for the winter."

"They are so arrogant!" I whine.

"Fine then. Go and sit in your tree all day alone but don't complain about being bored!" Hafwen says sternly in her Lieutenant tone. Normally, I would have taken offense to this, but she had a point.

"You're right. I'll go see the water nymphs…" I murmur grudgingly as we approach Cair Paravel.

"See, all you have to do is open up! I am glad to see you are finally blossoming!" Hafwen laughs, getting a kick out of her joke.

Hafwen's POV

I pinch the bridge of my nose as yet another one of my recruits falls on her face. It is so easy, it's not fun anymore.

"Tell me again why you chose to join Narnia's Army?"

"To serve my nation, sir."

"Then get up, try again, and see if you can make it this time without me knocking you off your feet."

"Yes, sir."

In one swift motion, she was on the ground again.

She curses under her breath and looks up at me. The pitiful creature. Her face is all covered in mud and her hair is ragged. I sigh. I may be stern, but I'm not mean. I hold out my hand and haul her up.

"Ok. Go back in line with the others. We will try again after lunch."

She nods, "Yes, sir."

"Ladies," I say, pacing in front of them, "I don't know what you may think, but this is not a game. This is not to impress the 'boys.' We are here to serve the nation and to keep it safe. We cannot do that if we are easily taken down. I don't care how well you shoot." I say, shooting a glare at the young, feisty centaur that argued with me at the beginning of the training, "You have to be able to defend yourselves. Understood?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good. Now, who's next?"

When we stopped for lunch, Oreius came by to see our progress.

"So, Lieutenant. How are the recruits?"

"Very green, sir."

"How green?"

"To the point where I am hardly trying and I still defeat them with immense ease, sir."

He sighs deep.

"Patience. That's all we can have to get them to where they need to be."

I groan inwardly, but not out loud so he could hear. Patience is a virtue. And I'm not the most virtuous creature in Narnia.

"Yes, sir. I shall do my best."

"Good. Now go eat. You will need the strength to handle your men." He grins at me as he walks away. He has a terrible sense of humor. Sad thing is, I like it.

Rhoslyn's POV

I sat under a big oak tree, lazily writing my name in the dirt with a twig. The other nymphs are speaking excitedly about their much-anticipated time off and what they are going to be doing…blah, blah, blah.

"Hey," is say, looking up, "do any of you know anything about the water nymphs?"

One particularly chatty nymph squealed. "Of course!"

"Um, are they friendly?" All the other nymphs began giggling. I could feel my face turning the color of my hair.

"They are very friendly! Especially the males." A blonde nymph, Caltha, says suggestively. Now I could feel my face burning.

"Don't get so embarrassed. Oh Rhoslyn! Are you going to see the water nymphs?"

"N-no, I was just curious!" I try to hide my face behind my hair.

"Well, if you do decide to visit them, watch out for Nen."

"Who's Nen?" The nymphs start giggling even more.

"Only the best looking water nymph!" She scoffs like I should know.

"Oh alright…" The others start gossiping about Nen and his "good looks" I roll my eyes and continue my sketching. Picking up bits and pieces of their conversation.

"He did what?"

"Oh poor girl, I don't believe it."

"It's true!"

I smile. Gossip can really get the best of us sometimes.

"Girls?" An all too familiar voice rings out. It was Delphina.

"Yes?" We all muse, eerily at the same time.

"Good news! Since the early arrival of winter, we are allowed to leave early for holiday!" There was a collective shout of joy from all the nymphs. All the girls left the gardens rather quickly, leaving Delphina and me alone.

"Rhoslyn, go enjoy your time off!" She brings me to my feet and nearly shoves me out of the gardens.

"Great." I mumble.

Time to make some friends.
