Now here I am getting ready for the Royal Coronation at Cair Paravel. Lucy, Susan and I are in a room getting ready. Peter and Edmund are in a separate room getting ready themselves.

"Come here Lucy . . . let me do your hair." Susan said.

Susan began to curl Lucy's hair. She looked very cute. Lucy had on a silver dress with a red cloak and belt. Susan's dress was a shiny light green with a blue cloak. I stood in the mirror trying to straight up my dress. It was burgundy with a midnight blue cloak and belt. The belt was a little big so I tightened it.

"Ok . . . you're done Lucy . . . . Rachel? Are you read - Oh my god! You don't have any make up on! And you hair . . there is no way you're going with your hair looking like this!" She yelled.

Lucy shoved me towards Susan as she got the curler to my hair. Five minutes later I could see my long blonde hair was curly. Next Susan did my makeup in five more minutes. I was about to go look in the mirror when the sound of horn told us it was time.

"Rachel you look pretty." Lucy said as Susan opened the door.

"Where's Rachel?" I heard Peter ask from out in the hall.

I took a deep and nervous breath and walked out of the room. I looked up at Peter.

"Oh . . my god, Rachel . . . . you're beautiful." He said.

"T-thank you." I said as I felt my face flush.

We walked down the hall and met Aslan at the end of it.

"Are you nervous?" He asked us all.

"No . . . not really." Peter said.

"Well, Rachel and Peter will walk behind me, and then you three follow."

"Yes Sir." We all said.

"Are you nervous?" Peter asked me.

"Yes . . . ." I whispered.

Aslan began to walk into the Throne Room. It is completely crowded. Every animal was there . . . well at least that were able to fit in here. The rest were outside. Peter and I glanced at each other as centaurs and red dwarves played the horns. The front row of centaurs, which were in the war, now created a path for us and lifted their pikes as we passed them. We followed Aslan up to the platform and walked to our thrones. Ed was far to my left, Peter was next to me, Susan was next to me on my right, and Lucy was on the other side of her. We turned and looked upon our audience. Aslan stood a few feet in front of me.

"To the Glistening Eastern Sea . . . I give you Queen Lucy, The Valiant." Aslan said as Mr. Tumnus walked up to her with her silver crown.

She kneeled and he crowned her. She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled and the slightly bowed.

"To the Great Western Wood . . . King Edmund, The Just."

Ed bowed as Mr. Tumnus crowned him.

"To the Radiant Southern Sun . . . Queen Susan, The Gentle."

She bowed as Mr. Tumnus crowned her.

"To the Clear Northern Sky . . . I give you King Peter, The Magnificent."

He bowed as Mr. Tumnus crowned him.

"And I give you . . . The Protector of the Royal, Queen Rachel, The Balancer between Good and Evil."

Mr. Tumnus came up to me as I bowed. He placed the sliver and gold crown upon my head. I stood up and looked up at Peter. He smiled at me as we all sat in our thrones. Aslan turned around to face us.

"Once a King or Queen of Narnia, always a King or Queen. May your wisdom grace us until the stars rain down from the Heavens." He turned back around to face everyone, "Long live King Peter, Long live Queen Rachel, Long live King Edmund, Long live Queen Susan, and Long live Queen Lucy!"

Everyone cheered then bowed. Peter got up from his throne and came over and helped me out of mine.

"Did I ever mention that you look stunning today?" He asked grinning.

"No . . . I don't think you ever did . . ." I said grinning at him.

"We let me mention it then . . . . you look . ." He began to say but was quickly cut off.

"Oh! What is your deal! Tell her what you really want to say!" Susan exclaimed.

He took a deep breath and was about to say something when music started. He smiled at me as I smiled at him.

"Would you like to dance?" Peter asked me

"Of course." I said.

Peter and I began to dance. Peter is pretty brave, good looking, and very strong, but he is so uncoordinated.The song lasted for a few minutes. When it was finally over Peter pulled me away from the crowd so we could actually hear what each other was saying.

"Now . . . what were you going to say?" I asked.

Peter grabbed both of my hands and looked deep into my eyes.

"Rachel . . . I love you."

"I love you too." I said smiling.

I looked at Edmund who was quickly coming up behind Peter. Ed had an evil grin on his face. He forcefully pushed Peter into me as I was pushed into Peter from behind. Peter and my lips accidentally connected. I quickly turned away and started to blush. I saw Ed and Lucy standing a few feet away smiling innocently. Peter look at me, then lifted my chin and kissed me. I threw my arms around his neck. I smiled as he looked within my eyes like he always does. We turned around and saw Lucy and Ed smiling at each other in satisfaction. Susan came up behind them smiling. Peter looked at me as I glanced at Peter. I took off after Lucy and began to chase her. She was running around in laughter. Peter chased Ed. I brought Lucy to the ground and began to tickle her. She was laughing so hard that tears began to run down her cheeks. Susan was laughing as I helped Lucy off the ground. I straightened up my crown. I looked at little Lucy who smiled at me. She hugged me tightly. Susan ran over to join in as well. Soon I was being piled on by Peter and Ed. We all started laughing. Our little group hugs soon dissipated as Ed went to get a drink, Lucy went to find Aslan and Susan went to talk with Oreius. Peter looked at me again and made me blush. He put his arms around me and kissed my forehead. He quickly grabbed my hand and began to lead me around to talk to some war heroes . . . other us.

I got late and Lucy went to bed. Peter, Ed, Susan and I went into a room that had a couch lying in front of a huge fireplace. Peter sat on the couch as I leaned up against him. Ed and Susan began playing cards on the table in the corner of the room. I just sat in silence and watched the fire. I was beginning to fight with sleep. Peter began playing with my hair, then he kissed me on my forehead again as I began to drift off.

I'm not sure what kind of adventures we're going to have, but as long as I have Peter and my family here with me . . .I'm ready for whatever fate decides to through at me next. I finally fell asleep to the soothing sound of the crackling fire and the warmth. But the warmth did not come from the fireplace; it came from between mine and Peter's hearts.
