Stuck in the future

By NarnianAslan

Chapter Eight

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?

Author's Note: I killed of Prof. Kirke. Sue me. It's my plotline. I'm making sense for the sequel. I have a BAD FEELING this will be one of the LAST CHAPTERS. K? But I am writing a sequel and prequel, so don't get too mad at me now? Okay? Okay.

"What! He's dead! Professor Kirke?" Peter asked angrily.

"Don't get mad at me. I didn't kill him," Lise told him.

"He knows that," Susan assured her.

"What of Mum and Dad?" Lucy asked.

"I don't know. I believe that they're alive."

"What does this mean?" Ria asked.

"I know what. We have to leave. Me, Su, Pete, and Lu. We have to go back. Just when I was getting used to this place, and finally thinking we might stay. Like Narnia." Edmund said, and everyone stared at him, for he had been quiet ever since the news had broke

"Oh Ed. You're right! You have to go back to your own time and place so this will never happen!" Lise said sadly with regret dripping from every syllable.

"Why did I ever suggest that we try to go here?"

"Because you care about my happiness," Edmund told her.

"It's true," Lise added, "Don't ever change."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Just always believe in Narnia. Can you promise me that, Susan?"

"I think so."

"Peter, promise me you'll always be a magnificent brother and friend."

"I'll try."

"Lucy, what to ask of Lucy. Lucy, you need to always have faith, remember that. Even in the darkest times, you must have faith. And always strive to be happy. Can you do that for me?"

"I think I can."

"Edmund, I need to talk to you alone."

"Okay," Edmund responded, then he followed her up to her room.

"Edmund," Lise started, "I love you. Never forget that I love you."

"I couldn't if I tried, you know that."

"Good. Ed, I just- I mean…"

"I think I know what you mean," Edmund said, then he leaned over and kissed her.

"I'm not sure if I'll be happy again. I wasn't for a year and a half. Until a month ago."

"Do you think I was happy?"

"No, I don't. And you can't stay. Professor Kirke will still go to jail if you don't go back. But I'll miss you so much, Ed. So much. I felt as if I was dying without you here with me. I wish you could stay here."

"I wish I could stay too. But…"

"You can't. I know. That's the hardest part."

"Lise, we'll have our friends, our true friends. The ones that never will abandon us."

"I know Ed. But it's so hard. You only had to live a month without me. I had eighteen!"

"We'll be fine, Lise. I know it."

"How?"

"I just do. I have a feeling."

"I love you Eddy."

"I love you too, Lizzie."

"Never forget me, Edmund. Please?"

"How could I? It should be me asking you never to forget me."

"I won't Ed. I really won't. I swear!"

"Let's go back downstairs, then? They'll be wondering what we're doing."

"One last kiss?"

"How could I refuse?" he asked, and then he kissed her.

When they arrived downstairs, everyone was very sad and solemn.

"How do we get back?" Lucy asked.

"However you got here."

"Okay, remember what to do?" Susan asked her siblings, who all nodded.

So all of the Pevensies lied down, linked arms, and concentrated on the professor's house.

Suddenly, they were gone!

"You okay, Lise?"

"I will be," she answered.

Author's note: Oh how sad! I will write two more chapters, the next being very short. The last being the epilogue to this story and the prologue to the sequel. The sequel has Edmund and Lise as twenty.
