"How did you end up here? You gave me your current location, and after the war, I went there, but they said that you hadn't been there in months, and that they didn't know where I could find you." Peter wasn't sure what to say, and this seemed like a good place to start the conversation.

"I am so sorry about that, I was re-located shortly after retuning, and I kept being bumped around. The last place I lived was here in London, and when I came of age, I just got the cheapest place I could find, and stayed here, I had no idea that you were going to be so close this whole time." Rebecca was so unsure of what to say, there had been a time when they had been so close they could say anything, but that time seemed to be gone. So much time had passed, she still loved him, but she was unsure about what had gone down since they had been apart. There was no doubt in her heart that what he was saying was true, but she still felt a little bit off.

"Are you alright? You seem kind of worried or unstable, I assure you that I am still just as in love with you as I was, and I assure you that I am just as much the same person that I ever was. There is nothing that you have to fear with this, I know it seems awkward, but we can get over that small obstacle." All he wanted to do was to keep Rebecca with him, and unafraid to talk to him. "You can say anything to me, anything you want, I will always love you."

"The only thing that I have to say is that I want this to be as it was, with us caring for each other more then life itself."

"With time, and work, we can have that again, even stronger than before, let's just take it as it comes, and not any faster then we have to. This can be done, things just take time. I promise you that I am just as impatient, but there's nothing else to be done." Rebecca and Peter just sat, gazing into each others eyes, full of wonder that they would ever find themselves again. Everything that Rebecca wondered about Peter was lost in his eyes. It was a long time before either of them said anything, and when they did, it was almost meaningless. "You should probably come and see every body else sometime, they would probably be very interested in seeing you." Peter was so lost that he couldn't think of anything to say that wasn't entirely trivial.

"That would be nice, how have they been lately?" asked Rebecca.

"They have been pretty good. Susan's good, she's still a bit pushy, but she's happy, she has been seeing Bryan's brother, David quite a lot since the war ended. Ed is his usual self, annoying, rude, but a good brother, and definitely someone I'm glad to have around. Lucy is growing up so quickly, it's incredible really, she's turning out a lot like you, which pleases me." Peter was smiling that smile that Rebecca remembered so vividly.

"That's wonderful, I'm so glad that all of you managed to make it out of Narnia, and I'm glad that everyone is doing so well." Rebecca was genuinely pleased that their family was still together, and that they were all happy, but she was jealous that they had each other to go to at all times.

"Well, it's getting close to the time that I need to go home, so why don't you walk with me, and you can see everyone again, it could be nice." Peter stood up, Rebecca didn't want him to leave, but she also knew that it was getting to be time for families to sit down to dinner together, and she respected that, though she never knew that feeling.

"Alright, I can't believe how fast that time went, I didn't even realize that any time had passed at all. I'll come, but only for a quick hello, I don't want to disturb anything." Rebecca stood as well, and they headed towards the door.

"You won't be disturbing anyone, every one will be happy to see you, I would be surprised if you were even able to get out of our house in less then an hour." Rebecca smiled as she and Peter walked towards his house, which seemed to be quite a distance from Rebecca's, but she didn't care, anytime spent with Peter was well worth it. They walked, and talked the rest of the way, though everything they said was simply an excuse for noise. All either of them wanted to do was hold the other until they couldn't hold on any longer, but they couldn't, they had to keep to their normal lives. Once they reached Peter's home, he knocked on the door, and sighed. "Here goes."

"Hello Pe- Rebecca?" asked Edmund, looking more shocked than Rebecca had ever seen him.

"Yes, it's her, let us in, and we'll explain everything." Edmund opened the door fully at Peter's request, and the two of them stepped inside. "Susan, Lucy, would you two please come here for a moment? I have something to tell you." Peter called to his sister's, and a moment later, they appeared.

"Peter, where have you been? Mother was beginning to get worried, is everything alright?" Susan was speaking rapidly to Peter, and hadn't even seen Rebecca yet. Lucy was not the same. She ran up to Rebecca, and without saying anything, hugged her.

"Susan, stop talking for just a moment, we have company," said Edmund. Susan looked up, and saw Rebecca. Her jaw dropped in wonder, and she looked as through she'd seen a ghost.

"Rebecca? Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me, how have you all been?" Rebecca was so happy to see everyone, and nothing else seemed to matter to her but to talk to these people, and spend time with them. She forgot everything else that she had to do, and everything else that was going on in her life.

"What is going on in there?" yelled a voice from another room. Rebecca had forgotten about their mother and father. The looks on all five faces said the same thing, we need to come up with a story, and fast.

"You're not going to believe this mum, but Peter brought home a girl." Edmund was the fastest to think, and as a result, the fastest to speak.

"I don't believe you, he has been so reserved and to himself lately, when did he have time to meet a girl?" asked their mother, entering the room.

"Mum, Edmund's telling the truth, this is Rebecca Marlowe, she's Bryan's girlfriend's best friend." Rebecca extended her hand to the woman, who shook it politely.

"That's a very lovely name; I see that you have already met Lucy, Edmund, and Susan." All five of them nodded, all trying to conceal the grins that would give them away.

"Thank you, I'm sorry to have taken your time, but I see that you were ready to sit down to eat, and I have kept you all waiting for too long, so I'll be heading home." Rebecca made ready to leave, but she was stopped by Susan's hand on her shoulder.

"Rebecca, it's getting dark, you really shouldn't go out alone, why don't you stay for dinner, and then Peter and I will walk you home, I'm sure it'll be no trouble to him, mother do you mind?" asked Susan.

"I agree with Susan, Rebecca, would you care to join us?" All four of the Pevensie children looked hopeful.

"Thank you very much, I would be glad to join you." Rebecca smiled at Peter, and followed the Pevensie's into their dining area.
