Chapter Seven

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?

The next morning, when Lise awoke, Lucy and Susan were already up. She realized she was still with Edmund on the couch. Then she spotted something sweet.

Or someones rather.

She saw Peter and Ria curled up on the loveseat together.

"Ed! Eddy! Get up!" She whispered to Edmund.

"What?"

"S-s-s-h! Look at Peter!"

"Huh?"

"Just look."

Edmund turned to see Peter and Ria curled up on the couch.

"How'd…"

"I don't know. But get up."

Lise got off the couch and walked over to the kitchen. Edmund followed her.

"How'd they get like that?" she asked.

"Oh. I think Ria was comforting him. And they probably just fell asleep," Susan told her in response.

"I took pictures! You and Ed were so cute!" Lucy exclaimed.

Lise smiled tentatively. She remembered Lucy saying almost the exact same thing in Narnia.

"So, what's for breakfast?" Edmund asked.

"Oh, that. See, we have nothing left," Lucy told her.

"Lucy and I were just discussing what we should do."

"How about Ed and I go to the store and pick up some things?" Lise suggested.

"Oh do let me go too!" Lucy pleaded.

"Sure. You want to come with us, Su?"

"No thanks. Some one has to watch over Peter and Ria. I'll call Lecia over?"

"That'd be great! Come on, let's go get dressed," Lise told Edmund and Lucy.

So they rushed upstairs and got dressed. Lise chose a comfortable forest green v-neck t-shirt and dark jeans. Lucy wore a t-shirt like Lise's but sea blue and sea green tie-dye. Edmund wore a green t-shirt and jeans.

Needless to say, Edmund was down first. Then came Lise, last was Lucy.

As soon as Lucy was down, Lise led them out to her Land Rover. She then headed off to the grocery store, not far off.

Once there, Lucy went to get the eggs, milk, and frozen waffles. Lise got a cart, and she and Edmund got the oatmeal, pancake mix, bread, and syrup.

When Lucy came back, she asked if she could get a magazine. Lise said that she would get one too. So, they dragged Edmund to the magazine section, where Lucy and Lise got about ten magazines.

Edmund then decided it was time to leave.

In the checkout line, the cashier started to talk to Lise.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Umm not really," Lise answered honestly.

"Olivia!"

"Oh my gosh! Hi!"

"So, mind if I come over later?"

"No. Not at all."

"Good so you live in town?"

"Yeah."

"I just moved here."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"So call Lecia, she'll know where to find me."

"Okay, well see you!"

"Bye!"

When they had gotten into the car, Edmund started talking.

"I thought you hated her."

"I thought she hated me. I never truly hated her. Only the people she hung out with."

"She was your best friend, then?" Lucy asked.

"Yes. She was. In fifth grade and part of sixth."

"She knows Alicia?"

"She's the one who started me talking to Alicia."

"Wow," was all Lucy said.

Before anyone knew it, they were back at Lise's house. Alicia was there.

"Lece! You'll never guess who I met at the store!"

"Olivia. Yeah she moved here. So you made up?"

"Yeah. I invited her over."

"Cool."

"So you got the food?" Susan asked as soon as they were in the kitchen.

"Yes. Did Peter and Cat wake up yet?"

"Not yet."

"Good. Lucy you took pictures?"

"Yes."

"Take some more. Put the grocery bags on the table. I'll need it for next time Cat tells me I was too quick to like Edmund. Look how quick she was to like Peter."

"You forget, you sent her that picture of Will Moseley and she was like 'he is hot' When you liked him. Then I hear nothing of you for years of Edmund and Skandar Keynes. Until you were fifteen. Then it's Edmund."

"And Edmund is where I'll stay," Lise said.

"Mental," Lecia said under her breath.

"I heard that. Miss Oh-let's-hide-under-J.K.-Rowling's-bed-and-threaten-her-with-a-knife-to-get-her-to-change-the-Harry-Potter-pairings-to-Harry-and-Hermione. You tell me I'm mental."

"Haven't I always said we're all mental? And that was two years ago!"

"Yes. I forgot that part."

"So," Lucy came in and had started to talk, "Do let's start breakfast. I think maybe brunch as it's 10:30."

"Or we could just wait till lunch," Lise suggested.

"Let's do that," Lecia said. "I'll be in the office!"

"Doing what?" Lise asked.

"Dunno yet."

"Okay then!" Lise said to her. "Mental."

XxXxX

About ten minutes later, Alicia called Lise into the office.

"What Lece?"

"Look." Lecia pointed to the screen the headline read:

Convicted Criminal Dies in Prison

Ninety-six year-old Digory Kirkpatrick died in prison today. You may remember him from the 1940's. He had been convicted of murdering four children in his country house in England. He was brought over to the U. S. to serve time in a high-security prison. The children had just disappeared and their bodies were never found. He had been a family friend of the Pevensies for years until the Air-Raids. For more click here

"Oh my god," was all Lise could say.

"Yeah. Mental. Professor Kirke died because they never came back."

"We can fix it right?"

"I hope so."

"I'll go tell them," Lise said to Alicia, then she walked out into the living room, saw that everyone was awake, and then told them.

.:Author's Note:. Ha ha… yeah I know the article may not be so good. Heck it may suck. But that's what reviews are for. To tell me what I can improve on, and if you liked it! Yeah I'm crazy. But not as mental as some people I know. So review or I won't update this time. I'm sure there will be at least one more chapter if you do, but probably two. Okay well, thanks!
