Chapter Five
"Here, I'll take some of this." Lucy said. "It's Susan's fertility potion. When I take it, I'll get pregnant too." Lucy smiled at someone.
"Ahh." Susan screamed. She reached out and punched something.
"Ow, Susan." Peter said, getting some light.
Susan looked at Peter. He had one hand to his nose, and she could see some red peeking through.
"Did I punch you in the face?" Susan asked, throwing the blankets off and crawling out of bed.
"Yeah, but it's okay. What were you dreaming about?" Peter asked.
Susan slipped on her robe and told him, "I had a dream that Lucy was talking to someone and she was talking about taking my fertility potion."
Peter quickly threw on his robe too and they made their way down the corridors.
"Lucy." Susan called, throwing open Lucy's door. She wasn't there.
"Where to now?" Peter asked.
Susan stopped to think. "The kitchen."
In the kitchen, Lucy was with Edmund and Mrs. Beaver. "I'll fix you up some warm milk and cookies." Mrs. Beaver was saying.
"It's really warm out tonight. I've tried everything and I can't get to sleep." Edmund said.
"I know what you mean. I don't see how Peter and Susan can sleep in this weather." Lucy agreed.
The door to the kitchen opened and Susan and Peter rushed in.
"I see you couldn't sleep either." Edmund said.
"Susan had a nightmare and smacked me right in the face." Peter explained.
"Lucy, were you planning on taking my fertility potion?" Susan asked seriously.
"No, why?" Lucy asked back.
"I had a dream, like the one with Peter and me, and you were talking to someone about taking my fertility potion so that way you'd get pregnant." Susan explained.
"Well, I'm sorry, but that was just a nightmare. Aslan doesn't need a baby from me." Lucy explained.
Mr. Beaver walked in. "Doesn't anyone sleep in this castle? You had better get to sleep, Aslan is on his way here. He will be here tomorrow."
The Four teenagers finished their milk and cookies and headed back to bed.
The next morning, Peter and Susan were still in bed when Lucy ran in and jumped on the bed.
"Get up, get up, he's here. Aslan's here."
"Okay, we're up. Let us get dressed and we'll be out." Peter said. Lucy hopped off the bed and ran out the door. Susan and Peter jumped up and quickly slipped on their clothes.
In the throne room, Lucy and Edmund were sitting on their thrones, waiting for Peter and Susan.
"It's good to have you back." Edmund said to Aslan.
"Aslan!" Susan exclaimed. She ran up to the great lion and threw her arms around him.
"Queen Susan." Aslan replied.
"Aslan." Peter said calmly. When he reached him, Peter bowed.
"No need to bow, King Peter."
Peter arose and he too gave Aslan a hug. Peter then took Susan's hand and led her to their thrones.
"Sorry I wasn't able to be here for the wedding." Aslan apologized.
"It was no problem at all. We know you're very busy." Susan said.
"Instead of beating around the bush, I am going to get straight to the point. I have a proposal for you." Aslan began.
Peter looked at everyone and said, "Continue."
"Now, the first time that I met you all, Lucy told me that the first time she had been to Narnia, no time had past in your world. I am afraid that I need your help again. We need some more sons of Adam and more daughters of Eve to visit and to know about Narnia. In the future, not many people will believe in creatures like Fauns, Unicorns, Minotaurs, Centaurs, and so on. I am offering you a chance to experience the future. I can make your world speed up. I can send you to the future, with your own decision, of course." Aslan said.
"That would be so cool." Edmund said.
"I trust in your wisdom, Aslan. What are the positive things about going?" Peter asked.
"Well, Susan will be able to have the baby safely. More Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve will know about Narnia. The war that you told me about will be over."
"And the negatives?" Susan asked.
"Well, you won't be able to see your parents, as you will be sent to a time after they have died. That is the only negative that I can think of." Aslan said.
"If we were to agree to this, could you bring our parents here so we could say good-bye?" Lucy wondered.
"Yes." Aslan said.
"Can we have a change to talk?" Peter asked.
"You are king, why are you asking me?"
About two hours later, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy were back on their thrones.
"I know that we shouldn't be asking this, but we are going to agree for you to send us forward, but with a few stipulations." Peter began.
"And what are they?" Aslan asked, sitting down.
"First, we get to say good-bye to our parents, second, we need all of the knowledge of what happens after our time up to the time you send us to, third, we are going to want to go to school, we are going to need school records. fourth, we're going to need a place to live. Finally, we are also going to want to get back to Narnia when we want."
"Is that too much to ask?" Susan asked.
"Oh, no, not at all. They are all reasonable request. Now, I have some questions of my own. I also have some information. First, Professor Kirke is going to leave you his mansion, second, you will be living in the United States, Third I will bless you with the knowledge of electricity, TV's. VCR's and DVD players. You will know the modern fashions, and everything. That way you won't sound out of place when people start talking about stuff. Come to think about it, I have no questions."
"I have a couple." Susan said.
"Go on."
"How will I know when I'm pregnant?"
"First stage is vomiting." Aslan began.
"Done that." Peter said, thinking back to the other day in the carriage. He had to throw his top away.
"Second stage is mood swings."
"Got that too." Peter said. Referring to the day when Peter asked to go swimming and Susan started crying. Susan looked at him and blushed.
"Final stage is weird cravings."
"You mean like chocolate covered pickles?" Peter asked.
"Eww." Edmund said.
"Okay, I'm pregnant." Susan said, turning beat red.
After saying good-bye to their parents, Aslan gave them clothes that teenagers wear in 2006, held a paw on each of their heads. When he removed them, knowledge about the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, Desert Storm, and other stuff, Movies, music everything was in their heads. After saying good-bye, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy found themselves in the Professor's, their, mansion. Their were four airline tickets with the keys to their new house in America.
"This should be interesting." Peter said, picking up the tickets.
