HanyAny: I hope I can.
Firstmorningdew: An interview with concerned ones? Hmmm, that's not really what I was going for, but it works.
Princess Whizbee: Aslan can do anything!
The Day
Tumnus
I am so unbelievably nervous. Why couldn't I like a non-beautiful, non-amazing girl? So far today has gone wonderfully. We went to the beach and she wore an "interesting" thing called a swimming suit. I got to gaze as she wore it, showing her whole body, but covering everything private. I took her on a picnic after that, and we went down to a secret spot that I never showed anyone. It a beautiful meadow hidden by trees and bushes. We had our picnic there.
Lucy
This has been the most amazing day of my life. Mr. Tumnus has taken me places I've never heard of before. He took me to his "special spot" as I've dubbed it. Now he is teaching me how to play the Narnian flute, an absolutely beautiful instrument. It doesn't really sound beautiful when I play it though. When he plays it, oh when he plays it, it sounds magical.
Under Flute Spell
I can see a river, flowing wide and calm. Birds are in the air, and they chirp as I've never heard it before. I see people dancing around a fire. There is Mr. Tumnus, tall and proud. I feel different around him now. I can see something in his eye I've never seen before, and I am swept up in the dance, with him, Mr. Tumnus. As he leans closer and closer, the music surrounding me stops.
Back in Narnia
I quickly stood up.
"Mr. Tumnus what was that?"
"That, my dear, was the Narnian flute."
"Oh, how I want to learn to play like that."
"I will teach you"
I looked around, and I realized while I had been listening to the flute, night had fallen. Mr. Tumnus had lit a real fire. He said
"I will teach you the Narnian dances."
He began showing me how to dance. Being so close to him was intoxicating, and I realized what I felt for him – love.
"Mr. Tumnus, I have something to tell you." At the exact same time I said that he said
"Lucy, I have something to tell you."
I motioned for him to go first, and he took a deep breath, stepped back, and said
"Lucy, I love you. I have loved you since you were a little girl. You have lit up my life, and no matter what you do next, I will always love you."
Tumnus
The look she gave me as I delivered my little speech was priceless. The world fell away, and all I could see was Lucy. I did what I swore not to do-I kissed her.
