Disclaimer: I don't own Narnia, I wish I did, though.

I'm sorry for not really sticking with my promise to update more often after the last chapter. I thought that since it was summer I'd have more time, but I didn't. Sorry. I actually think I'll be able to update more during the school year, I know, it's kind of sad, but,anyway, here's the next chapter.


I sat in my room, looking over some old stories I had written for school when I was younger. Nothing exciting ever happened in them. They all seemed so dull to me now. How could I have ever thought Narnia was just another story that I had made up? It was preposterous to think that I had thought up a world as amazing as Narnia. Was I ever that stupid?

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on my bedroom door.

"Come in." I called. Caspian stepped in.

"I just thought you'd like to know that I'm leaving."

"Um, Caspian, I was wondering if we could talk about that. Don't you think it's a bit rash…"

"Not as rash as saying Narnia wasn't real." He snapped, "I can't believe you really gave it up! You were a queen, Susan! A queen! And you threw all of that away because it was 'only a childhood fantasy'! You think I'm just something you made up! That animals couldn't possibly talk! That there are no such things as centaurs and fauns and mermaids! But there are, Susan! They were some of your best friends and – and you can't even acknowledge their existence! How can you do that? How can you just forget?"

I was crying by now. "I guess it's just a part of this world."

"Then how come the other kings and queens believed? How come they never forgot?"

"Because…" I started feebly, "Because they were stronger! They never questioned anything! They never wondered if what they were doing wasn't safe! They never wondered about if they had gone insane! I was the only one and I was always looked down on for it!"

Caspian's expression changed, "They looked down on you?"

"Well, I was the cynical one." I sobbed, "No one wants to think that what they're doing could kill them! Everyone else thought we were strange for believing in Narnia! I had to choose my world and Narnia had closed it's doors to me. What was I supposed to do? Insist the world in the wardrobe was really real."

"I'm sorry, Susan." Caspian said, "I really am."
