"Are you feeling alright?" asked Constance, Rebecca sat down and sighed. It had been three years since her adventure in Narnia, and she and Peter had still never found each other. Everyday she wondered if he had ever gotten out of Narnia. She had tried looking for him, but she had never had any luck. Her biggest regret was not asking how she could contact him, he had asked her, but in her haste, she had forgotten to do the same. If he got out, I winder if he is looking for me. I'll bet he isn't, I'll bet he forgot about me, damnit, I still love him. "Are you there? I asked if you are feeling alright!"
"Oh, yeah, I'm here, I'm fine." Rebecca had no idea what to do. She knew that she couldn't tell Constance, she would never believe her.
"You have been really off lately, I mean, I met you two years ago, and sometimes you're one way, and sometimes you're another way. Are you sure that nothings wrong?" Constance always tried to show great concern for her friends, and she wanted Rebecca to be upfront with her.
"Everything's fine, let's just not talk about it right now, I have a lot to do for tomorrow, I'll see you later." Rebecca walked towards her small house. Now that she was 18, she was allowed to live on her own, and she didn't have t move every few months.
Many, many miles away, a boy was sitting by a desk, going over some papers, and sighing. It had been too long that he had been searching for Rebecca, and he simply could not find her. He had gone after the war, to where she had said she lived, but she didn't live there anymore, and the people that did were not helpful, they turned hi away entirely. "Peter, you really should take a break from working." Peter's friend Bryan entered the room. Peter shuffled the papers around quickly so that it looked like he was working on a paper. "You work all the time; it's time for a break. What are you always doing?"
"You ask me that every time you see me working, I've told you, it doesn't matter, it's not important." Peter liked Bryan, but he knew that Bryan was trying to figure out what he was up to, and if he found out, he would think Peter was crazy. Oh, I can just imagine trying to explain this to him. Yeah, so I met this girl three years ago, and I'm trying to find her, oh and by the way, we met in Narnia, a country that I got to by walking through a wardrobe. That sounds crazy; he would probably report me as insane.
Well, if you ever feel like telling me, go ahead, I'm open to learning. You should come with me, you are 18, and you always stay in this house." Bryan urged Peter to go and get something to eat with him.
"Fine, give me five minutes to straighten everything up, and I'll come." Peter gave in, because he knew that he was fighting a losing battle. If he refused to go, Bryan would appeal to Susan, who would make him go one way or another.
"Alright, I'll go wait out side and talk to someone, there's always someone else to talk too around here." Bryan left Peter alone for a few minutes. Peter took one last look at the papers with all of the many Rebecca Marlowe's that he had looked up. He had no idea where to go next. Every Rebecca Marlowe that he had met with was not the same person, she seemed to be gone. I saw her go through, but maybe it didn't work out and she never got back through.
"Are you ready?" asked Bryan. "Susan and Lucy are going to come with us, if you don't mind."
"I don't care, let's go then." Peter, Bryan, Susan, and Lucy left, and while they were out, everyone seemed to be having a good time. As always, Peter played along, but for three long years his thoughts had been entirely on the love that he had left behind. Susan, Lucy, and Edmund missed Narnia, as he did, but they had sort of forgotten about Rebecca. None of them really bonded with her the way Peter did, and if Peter didn't have her so clearly in his memory, they probably would have forgotten her entirely, but he wouldn't let them.
After they went out, Bryan went to his house, and Peter, Susan, and Lucy went home. "Peter, I know that you miss her, but you spend all of your time thinking about her, and it's not fair to Bryan, or you're other friends, or me and Ed and Lu. Maybe you should think about slowing down your search, have some fun. I'm going out tonight, there's a dance somewhere, and David is taking me and Bryan is going, you should come along." Susan confronted Peter when they got home, she had no idea what she was going through, but she tried to understand.
"What would I do at a dance?" asked slightly angrily.
"I don't know, you could try dancing with someone, plenty of people go alone to these things, and it is fun." Susan really wanted to get Peter out of the house at night, it had been three years, and he needed to start living again.
"I'll think about it, what time are you going?" asked Peter.
"Around 6:30, so you have a couple of hours to think." Susan got up and left Peter with his thoughts. He needs to get out of here once in a while, maybe find a girl that cold take his mind off of Rebecca for a while, I really hope that he comes.
Peter sighed and ran his hands through his hair. Maybe Susan's right, but even if she is, I don't want to forget Rebecca. Well, going out once isn't giving up on anything, it's just taking a break, I guess I could go once. He left the room where all of his papers were, and went to go find Susan to tell her he was going to go. She was overjoyed, and even her excitement didn't bring his up, he still felt odd going, something just felt off. What he wasn't sure of was whether it was a good off, or a bad off.
