Stuck in the future

Chapter Six

Summary: The four Pevensies all miss Narnia, so they try to see an old friend of Narnia (NOT PROFESSOR KIRKE!). Suddenly, they find themselves in 2006 in America. With the help of a few friends, will they find their way back, or do they want to stay?

By time Susan, Peter, and Ria were back, Lise and Edmund had fallen asleep. Susan was the first one in, and had found Edmund and Lise curled up together on the couch. She quietly ran back to Peter and Ria, who had just come in, and told them to be quiet. Susan went straight up to bed after that.

Peter and Ria went into the living room and sat down together on the loveseat.

"So, what was Narnia like?" Ria asked Peter.

"It was amazing. I loved every minute of it. I did have some sad times though."

"Like what?"

"I had a fiancée. Her name was Lila. She got very sick after we had gone to rid an island of a dragon, Lise swears this was Dragon Pox, and she looked awful. It was like smallpox, except in dragon shapes. One day her health just gave out, and she died in her sleep."

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Ria told him, her face full of sympathy.

"It's fine, I'm over it. She suffered so much though, even Lucy's cordial couldn't save her. It did help though."

"That's so sad."

"Yeah. Edmund was so scared he'd lose Lise, because she had a cough, and that's how Lila started. Lise was fine though."

"Oh, I feel so bad for you."

"I'm okay. Really." Peter looked down. Ria looked into his eyes.

"No, you're not."

"I have you now. And Lise, this is great. Lise is the best sister-in-law I could ask for."

Ria put her arms around Peter, and put her chin on his shoulder. She wrapped him into a consoling embrace.

"Ria, you're amazing." Peter told her, right before he fell asleep. Ria went to sleep not long after.

When Lucy arrived home, she smiled at the sight of her two brothers finally happy. She put blankets around Lise, Edmund, Peter, and Ria. She then went into the office and grabbed the digital camera. She snapped several shots of Edmund and Lise, then she moved on to Peter and Ria. She uploaded them onto the computer, then she saved them and emailed a few to Alicia.

She then noticed a composition book on the floor of the office. Well several really. They were in an open drawer in the filing cabinet.

Being the curious girl she was, she opened the first one. It took her a bit to recognize and decode the script, but then found it to be of twelve-year-old Lise.

What I think of Narnia: I think it is a magnificent place and I would love to go. It seems so perfect! Think of living during the Golden Age! With peace all around! Oh and I would love to meet Aslan! I hope I could go.

Lucy now read the teacher's note:

That was not the prompt. The prompt was what do you think of Narnia, not whether or not you would like to go.

Lucy closed the book. That teacher seemed rather strict. She decided it was time to turn in. She put the book back, and got offline. She quietly walked upstairs and went to sleep in her bed (she and Susan had gotten bunk beds across the hall from Peter and Edmund).

.:Author's Note:. Okay so this chapter leaned a little more toward Ria/Peter and Lise/Ed so I will try to keep it that way… about three chapters more. I'm not positive yet.
