All of the Pevensie's were outside in the gardens and all of the cricket stuff was already set up "Maddie have you played cricket before?" Peter asked "nope" Maddie replied "okay, so all we are going to do is, someone will bowl it and a person will hit it with the bat and there will be a person standing far back ready to catch it and one behind the wickets and we will start by just having a couple of hits each okay" Peter explained and Maddie nodded.
Peter was bowling first, Edmund was batting, Susan was behind the wickets, Maddie was at the very back and Lucy was a little behind Peter. Maddie had already told everyone that she was terrible at catching and they knew that too but they always thought it was funny.
"ready Ed?" Peter asked "yeah" Edmund said then Peter bowled the ball and Edmund did a really good hit and Maddie had to catch it. It went really high up and no one could see it "where did it go?" Lucy asked "I don't know" Peter said and everyone was looking around in Maddie direction for the ball.
But no one saw it come down until it hit Maddie on the head and landed on her bum and said "oof" as she fell down on her bum. Peter, Lucy, Edmund and Susan were laughing so much since they saw what happened, Maddie rubbed her head and said "I think I found it" which caused everyone to laugh a lot more.
Once everyone had stopped laughing they continued on playing until everyone had a go batting and it was almost dinner so everyone packed away and were just walking through the gardens.
Lucy and Maddie were in front with Edmund just behind them and Peter and Susan behind Edmund. They were walking down a path and a bunny rabbit came out of the bushes and was in the middle of the path and Maddie screamed and ran behind Peter and Susan.
They were all a little confused to why Maddie had just screamed and Lucy said "Maddie it's only a bunny" and went over to it and stroked it (this bunny can't talk) "exactly" Maddie said still behind Peter "wait are you scared of rabbits" Edmund said laughing a bit "um… maybe" Maddie said, but she didn't want to admit that she was scared of something. The other four burst into laughter "hey it's not funny" Maddie said, playfully pushing Peter "it is" Peter said laughing more.
Edmund then got an idea and picked the rabbit up "hey Maddie" he said then Maddie looked at him as he walked closer and Maddie walked back. Then Edmund chased after her while Maddie was running away and saying "no, no, no please stop Ed" and Edmund saying "no" then laughing.
He chased her all the way to the castle and Maddie ran inside and Edmund put the rabbit down and caught up to Maddie "I hate you" she said then stuck her tongue out "no you don't" Edmund said while smiling weirdly but Maddie just pushed him and he tripped over and glared at Maddie "I am gonna get you!" Edmund said and got up and chased Maddie.
He eventually caught up to her and tackled her to the ground and sat on top of her pinning her to the ground "get off me you fat cow" Maddie said, playfully "not until you say Edmund is the best person ever" Edmund said "never gonna happen" Maddie said then Edmund started tickling her on her sides and stomach and Maddie was laughing really hard.
"stop…. Please" Maddie said in between laughing "say it then" Edmund said and Maddie finally gave in "fine…. Fine Edmund is the best…. Person ever" She said in between laughing and Edmund got off of her and helped her up "also the smelliest" Maddie said then ran off to the dining room with Edmund chasing her yet again.
Thank you for reading. This chapter is still a little short sorry. Also I may have got the idea of a fear of rabbits because I have a fear of rabbits but I don't know why, they just scare me alot
