Author's Note: I have over 100 hits, but not many reviews, so please review. For all of you that did, I thank you.

When Jill reached her chambers she found that Susan and Lucy were on her couch!

"So!"

"So what?"

"Are you and Eustace err-"

"A couple, you know, courting?" Lucy interrupted.

"Yes, so?"

"Aslan's Mane!" Lucy exclaimed.

"What a cute couple!" Susan sighed.

Eustace called the kings into the library.

"What's all this about, so urgent, it couldn't wait until morning?" Edmund asked, practically complaining.

"You both know how I fancy Jill?"

"Yes." Peter replied.

"Are you going to obsess about her? Because if you are-"

"So what's the news Eustace?" Peter cut Edmund off.

"You know how she and I danced all night?"

"And how I left to sleep?" Edmund added.

"Quiet, Ed. We're all three tired, but Eustace wants to tell us something. Yes, Eustace, go on."

"Well… I'm courting her."

"Really?" Edmund forgot his drowsiness for the time being, "Congratulations mate. Now can I go back to sleep?"

"Sure. G'night."

Back in Jill's chamber, the girls were talking about boys.

"Susan said you were flirting earlier. I do think you two make an adorable couple." Lucy told Jill.

"Thanks."

"I wish someone handsome would fancy me enough to court me." Susan sighed.

"Like that Archenland lord?" Lucy asked.

"Aye."

"I rather fancy some old-time kings." Lucy confided.

"Like Caspian?" Susan asked. Jill giggled.

"Su! He's married!" Lucy practically screamed.

"And you did fancy him! I saw it in your eyes when we put him on the throne!"

"Eustace mentioned you flirted with him on the Dawn Treader, and Edmund told me you were uncontrollably happy when you saw him again. More than you should have been." Jill told Lucy.

"They did not!"

"They did, back in England. About a week before the crash, when you were talking to Polly and Digory. They told me, and Peter."

"What did Peter say?"

"He said, 'Come to think of it, Lu's been more melancholy since she got back from Narnia the second and third times rather than the first.'"

"He didn't! Oh! I'll end up hurting them!"

"They only said the truth, Lu. And when Caspian died, you cried harder than I ever did."

"Okay! So I do fancy him a bit! And Tirian. I fancy Tirian more so, though."

Susan had a look of satisfaction upon her face.

"But I've no chance with Tirian."

"You do." Jill told her.

"I don't. At least you'll be happy, Jill."

"I think I will."

"You think you will what? Eustace had entered through the open door.

"Be very happy now, you know, with you."

"So do I."

"So, what did you come in here for?"

"I was coming in to check on you."

"That's so sweet!" Jill exclaimed.

Here, she got up and kissed him on the cheek.

"I think I will be going to bed soon though."

"Then goodnight, Jill."

"'Night, Eustace, see you tomorrow morning."

Susan and Lucy got up.

"Goodnight Jill." They said in unison.

"'Night."

They left.

"Well, I should go to bed now, too. See you tomorrow morning?"

"Of course."

Eustace went to his room. And Jill closed the door. She quickly got changed, and took off her jewelry. She crawled into her elegant, four poster canopy bed, and went to sleep. When she slept, she dreamed of Eustace.
