Susan opened her eyes to blinding light. She shielded her eyes, and yawned, got up, and stretched. Then she heard a rhythmic breathing next to her on the bed. She smiled. Peter's blond hair covered his eyes, and Susan yawned again. She heard him stirring, and she saw him open his brilliant bright blue eyes. "Good morning." She said, kissing him. "'Morning." He said, stretching. She laughed, and said, "Come on down to breakfast." He smiled, and she left him alone in her chambers.

Susan went to join her younger siblings for breakfast. Edmund was already finished, and he was promising to tell Lucy all about it when she entered. "Good morning, Susan!" Lucy said cheerfully. "Good morning." She said in reply, and sat down to eat breakfast. Edmund, however, stared at her. "Ed?" Edmund snapped out of his thoughts, and smirked. "Hello, Susan." Susan smiled. "Where is Peter? We have to go soon, you know." Lucy coughed nervously, because she knew what Susan was about to say. She knew where Peter was, and her cough was a warning to Susan. But if Susan heard her, she didn't acknowledge it. "I'll go wake him up, then."

"No need. I'm right here." Susan wheeled around, and almost crashed into her older brother. "Oh, Peter." She said, and sat down again. The two completely missed the look that passed between the younger two Pevensies. Edmund smirked, and laughed silently, while Lucy gave him a warning look before she felt the corner of her lips lift as well.

"Well, Ed, are you ready?" Peter asked, tearing his eyes from Susan's sapphire blue ones. Edmund nodded. "Come on. We have to go if we want to get back here sooner." Peter looked at the girls. "You guys take care of yourselves. Especially with Rabadash here." Peter spat the name, but otherwise, his voice was warm. Lucy and Susan laughed. "We can take care of ourselves. Seems like you have to worry about yourselves more than us." Susan smiled. Peter grinned, and leaned down to kiss her. Susan broke off, and hugged him tightly. Peter smiled into her dark hair, and then moved to hug Lucy as well. Susan hugged Edmund, and the two Kings set off, with the Queens waving from the doors. Peter looked back at his love. Susan caught his eye, and smiled a little. Then the High King leaned forward, and said, "Race you." Edmund grinned, and the two Kings raced to the border of Narnia. Peter's unicorn neighed, and ran faster, on and on, to Archenland.

Susan saw Peter looking at her, and she smiled a little to assure him that they would be fine. Peter smiled back at her, and she turned to her younger sister. "Come on, Lucy. Let's go to your garden for a walk." Lucy grinned up at her older sister before pulling her hand, and running back inside.

The two Queens spent the next two days like this, walking in the garden, laughing, and spending time with each other. On the third day of their brother's departure, Lucy asked her sister, "Susan?" "Hmm?" "When are they going to be back?" Susan laughed. "If I'm right, they should be back today." Lucy then ran around. "Yay!" she shouted joyfully. She ran around her garden, spinning, and laughing with her sister.

It was around mid afternoon when a maid came to them, and said, "Queen Susan, Prince Rabadash begs an audience. Susan was puzzled. Why would Rabadash want an audience? She was suspicious. So the Gentle queen, before going to the throne room, she stopped by her room and grabbed her sword and told Lucy to get her dagger. The girls threw on a cloak, shielding their weapons. Then, the Valiant and the Gentle made their way to the throne room, and sat down on their respectful thrones. Rabadash was there already, and bowed as the Queens made entrance.

"Prince Rabadash, you begged an audience?" Susan asked in a clear, loud tone. Rabadash bowed again in a flourish. "Yes, Queen Susan. May I approach?" He asked. Susan hesitated, and looked at Lucy. Lucy looked back at her, her chocolate eyes filled with caution. The two sisters communicated through their eyes. 'Well? I don't know…' 'If you must, be careful!' Susan nodded at her sister, turned to the prince, and nodded at the prince hesitantly. Rabadash hid a smirk. He stepped up, and took the hand of the Queen, and kissed it. Susan tried to hide her disgust, and it worked on all the servants there. But Lucy could see right through it. She was disgusted as well. If Peter were here, he would have killed Rabadash already. Lucy felt her hand snake to her dagger at her side, but she resisted drawing it. What the prince said next caught her off guard.

"What is the name of the person courting you, my Gentle queen?" Susan's eyes widened, and then hid her expression. It was Peter and Edmund. It had to be when they played the prank on him. It had to be. Susan prayed that Rabadash didn't see her look of surprise, or he could see right through that next lie. "Um, his name is…" She trailed off, and snuck her sister a look. "…His name is Peter!" She blurted out, praying that Rabadash wouldn't get it.

Rabadash seem to think. "Which Peter, my queen?" 'My queen!' the sisters thought in unison. 'Who does this guy think he is!' Susan thought, enraged. She tried to control her temper. She tried to keep her face and expression neutral. "You don't know him," she lied quickly. "He resides in another world, yet, he courts me, and he is a kind, brave spirit." She hoped Rabadash would just buy the story. But then she saw a glint of reorganization in his eyes, and then quick as a flash, he darted behind Susan, grabbed her wrists together, and leaned in to whisper in her ear, "I think not, Queen Susan." Lucy's eyes were wide before she smiled, and she finally got to draw her dagger.

"Came prepared, I see." He drawled. Susan thanked Aslan that he didn't see her sword. Lucy pointed her dagger at Rabadash while he just laughed, and drew his own sword beneath his cloak. Lucy thanked Aslan and Susan mentally. It was a good thing Susan was high on her guard. But then, wasn't she always? Susan looked at his sword, and then at Lucy.

"Lu, run!" Lucy looked at her sister, and shook her head. Susan looked at her pleadingly, but still, the Valiant queen refused. But after all, her name was Valiant. Brave beyond anything. So Susan shrugged and looked at Rabadash. "Swords?" she asked. "Swords." Rabadash whispered into her ear. Susan recoiled in disgust. Oh, how she wanted Peter here right now! "Fine." Susan whipped her body around, freeing her wrists from the prince's clutch. She then drew her sword, and pointed it at him. "Gentle, huh? Guess it's the wrong name for you, my queen!" Susan's anger burned inside of her, and her eyes threw him a look that suggested his death.She looked to the sides, and saw the servants still here, wide-eyed with fear. At that moment, the doors burst open, and the Kings stepped in the throne room.

Susan looked at him. The High King's eyes slowly turned from joyous to cold. "So…" he hissed through gritted teeth. "You finally show up." Edmund said, next to him. "Peter, go!" Susan pleaded him. "No, Su." He said, shaking his head. "You were right. Bastard." He spat. Peter drew his sword. "Peter, no need." Susan said, her crystalline blue eyes were filled with amusement. Peter blinked. "Su, how can you be amused by this?" Susan grinned. "It's my first real fight. And it's my fight only. For my future." "If anything happens, I'll have to step in." Peter said, warningly. Susan smiled. Then she faced Rabadash. But Rabadash wasn't looking at her. Rather, he was looking at Lucy.

Susan was confused for a moment. Then it hit her like lightning. "No!" she yelled. "Lucy, run!" Lucy barely had time to register it before Rabadash darted to her, and like Susan, held her wrists together behind her back. He pressed his sword to her throat. "Lucy!" Her siblings shouted. Lucy squirmed in his grasp. "Let go of me." She hissed at him. Susan glared at him, her blue eyes icy. She raised her sword with a single hand, and said, "Let go of my sister. She has nothing to do with this." Rabadash smirked. "Oh, but what will I get in return?" he said. "I will let her go only if you will be my wife."

Susan was rooted to the ground, her sword still raised. She looked at Lucy. Her little sister was frantically shaking her head. Then she looked at her brothers. Edmund. He was shaking his head as well. Then she nearly burst into tears. Peter, his eyes showed everything. He knew what she must say. Their eyes locked with each other, and Susan's heart shattered to see Peter like this. His eyes showed his heart breaking. Susan knew what she was going to do. She then smiled a little, and Peter was taken aback. She pushed the corners of her mouth down before facing Rabadash. She lowered her sword. Then she stepped forward to the prince.
