They got to the Ciar Paravel and got off the horses and Caspian went to show them to their rooms but when they were walking there were many male soldiers in the hallways and Peter and Edmund could see most of them all looking at Maddie and it looked like they liked what they saw. So Peter and Edmund looked at each other and nodded then grabbed Maddie putting her in between them while Maddie was looking confused at them they were just looking straight ahead, glad that there weren't as many boys looking at her.
Then they all came to a stop outside five doors "here we are, so there are some clothes in there already and if when you are finished you could all come down to the dining room and could you show Maddie where it is too, please" Caspian said "yes Caspian, we will be right down" Susan said.
Caspian nodded and left to go to the dining room then everyone entered their rooms.
Susan's room was red and white with a big four post bed, a vanity and a closet with other little bits around. She looked in her closet and saw many elegant dresses and loved every single one and she chose to wear a light brown dress with white flowers on the bottom of it and lace on top of it by the neck and at the bottom and it came just below her knees and put white slip ons with it.
Lucy's room was yellow and orange and had a double bed, a vanity and a closet and some other things. She looked in her closet and it was full of beautiful dresses and Lucy chose to wear a dress with yellow, orange and green flowers all over it and a white bow around the middle and it came to her knees and put white slip ons with it.
Maddies room was pink and purple and it had a bed a little bigger than a single but not as big as a double, vanity and a closet. She looked in it and saw just dresses, and she had never worn a dress in her life but she knew that this was the day that she would. She picked out a light green/teal dress with white lace over the top of it and it came to her knees like all her other dresses also she kept her converse on since they had dried and she wanted to keep it casual.
Maddie was in her room looking in the mirror at herself and she didn't think she looked really ugly just a bit different in a dress and she didn't know if she liked it. Then she heard a knock on the door so she went to open it and Susan was on the other side.
"wow, Maddie in a dress I never thought I would live to see this day" Susan said jokingly as they stepped out into the hallway waiting for the others "haha very funny, but I don't know if I like it I feel weird" Maddie said making a weird face as Susan giggled a bit "well, I think you look great" Susan said, Maddie blushed a little and said "thanks, you look great too"
Then Susan and Maddie turned around still waiting for Lucy, Peter and Edmund.
After another five minutes of waiting they finally came out, ironically at the same time "it's about time" Susan said a bit annoyed. "sorry" Lucy said then Peter said "wow, Maddie is actually in a dress" "I never thought I would see this day" Edmund said then both the boys put their hands to their hearts in a jokey way "oh shut up" Maddie said then stuck her tongue out so they stuck theirs out at her.
"alright we should be getting to the dining room" Susan said, then they all walked down.
Once Maddie met every one they all sat down "okay Maddie I have sent for a boy called Thomas to come and show you round but before that I have an announcement" Caspian said and they all nodded but Peter and Edmund, being the over protective older brothers they are, were slightly annoyed that it was a boy showing her round but quickly focused on Caspian again.
"well I was thinking to celebrate the return of the kings and queens of old and our new guest we should have a ball" Caspian said. Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy were happy and excited but Maddie wasn't because she had never been into these things and people said that they were normally boring.
"not to be rude, but do I have to go" Maddie asked Edmund was sitting next to Maddie rubbed her shoulder and said "don't worry Maddie it isn't that bad, you will be okay" she smiled at Edmund and he smiled back and Maddie nodded. "Maddie, Thomas is here now so you can go round with him" Caspian said and smiled at Maddie and she nodded and went over to the boy standing by the doorway who was apparently Thomas.
"hello" Maddie said as they walked out of the room and shut the door "hi, m'lady" Thomas said and they smiled to each other "wow, so formal I really have to get used to that" Maddie said. Thomas laughed and said "right so where would you like to see first m'lady?" "ermm, I have no idea how about you pick" she said "okay how about I show you the throne room, training room, kitchen, lounge room and then I can show you the garden" he said "sounds great" Maddie said.
As Thomas was showing Maddie round Maddie started to develop feelings for him, she knew that is was strange since she had only met him earlier but she couldn't help it. He was very cute and his smile and laugh were adorable and she just loved his personality and being around him.
Whilst Thomas was showing Maddie around he started to develop feelings for her too, and he also thought it was a little strange as well. He thought that she was beautiful, he loved her hair and her smile and thought her laugh was cute. He thought that she was very funny and very positive and loved that. He also loved how different and independent she was and had never met a girl like her, like other girls would be very polite and formal but she wasn't well she was a tiny bit. Also he loved how different she looked like she didn't wear any make up but still looked very beautiful and her hair was very different none of the girls would have that done to their hair because they wanted to follow the crowd but she didn't also she still dressed like normal girls just not in the long dresses and dull colors that most girls wore also he loved her shoes and he just loved her.
"so m'lady shall we go to the gardens?" Thomas asked "yes and Thomas you can call me by my name you know" she said "yes sorry Maddie" he said "don't worry, I thought it was kind of cute" Maddie said but blushed a little. Thomas looked at her and smiled and she smiled back.
They walked round the gardens for a while before they sat down on the grass and just talked to each other about whatever. "so what about your parents?" Thomas asked and Maddie looked down and all the memories coming back to her and she accidently let a tear slip down her face. Thomas was worried and wondered if he had done something wrong he put his two fingers under her chin and made her look at him "are you okay?" he asked and wiped her tear away "yes, I'm sorry its just my mother she…. wasn't the nicest" Maddie said and Thomas looked at her understandingly "if you don't want to talk about it you don't have to" he said and she shook her head "no, I want to tell you" she said "well…." She started then Thomas grabbed her hand and held onto it and she smiled at him and he smiled back "when I was a bit younger she would hurt me when my father wasn't there and it went on for a couple of months until my father found out so they divorced and my father got married again to the Pevensie's mother and yeah that's it"
Once she said that she looked up and Thomas and their eyes were staring into each other then they started to lean in and kissed. Once they pulled apart they both stood up "Maddie I am so sorry I didn't mean-" Thomas started but was cut off by Maddie "don't worry its fine, but we really should be heading back its getting quite late" "let's go" Thomas said and interlocked his hand with Maddies.
So I hope you liked this chapter. Also some of these chapters might be longer or shorter than others, sorry.
