"I am so sorry," Jenna noted while she was getting off of the ground. She was wipng the dirt off of her legs. Which had been turned back to normal, for the other's sake. The Queen told her not to tell anyone about what had happened between the two. She looked up and saw a familiar face. "Peter? What are you doing here?"
"Um...we've been called for something. We are after all the kings and queens of this beautiful land," Peter had answered in a different accent then the one he had while in Finchley.
"Uh yeah...okay. Where are we?"
"The more important question is where were you?" Peter had a worried look on his face. He knew something weird was going on, he just didn't know what.
"Um, after we'd been transported I ran for a while and got knocked out. I just woke up," is what she tried to lie. He knew she was lying but he went along with it. Obviously, there was something she didn't want him to know, so he butted out. It wasn't his business.
"Anyway, we set up camp by the shore. Join us?" Peter questioned, obviously trying to change the subject. Jenna thought the topic was awkward, so she went along with that.
"Yeah, sure. The sunset is beautiful here."
"I know. I really missed it. I missed everything here."
"Me too. Truth is, I've been here before as well, I just can't remember it all too well." Jenna smiled and kissed his cheek. The two raced (literally) to camp, and of course, Jenna won because Peter let her.
"Jenna!" screamed Lucy. "We were really worried about you!"
"I was kind of freaked out too, but I'm glad we're all together now. This wasn't exactly my idea of going to the beach, but we're at one now, and we have all our stuff, so we might as well!" Jenna had her swimsuit on underneath so she just took off the outer clothing and ran into the water. "This water's kinda warm!" She decided to splash the boring four with water, Peter was first on her list. She kicked water at him.
"Oh you did not want to do that. I'm so going to get you!" Peter started kicking water back at her. Then, Peter picked her up, went to some deeper water and dropped her into the sea.
"You did not just do that!" she shouted as she got out of the water. She jumped on his back and tackled him into the water. Once they were down she was on top of him, in the sand an inch from his face. Then Peter rolled so he was on top. Their faces were even closer now, so Peter kissed her. He told her everything he'd been feeling since the day they met with that kiss.
"Um...I gotta go get something to drink looks like Susan found water," Jenna looked around to see if anyone was looking, but only Lucy was there. Well, that couldn't be good. Jenna got up and walked over to Susan. "Can I have some of that?" Jenna smiled with a look that said 'did you see anything?'.
"Yeah you can, it's for everyone. I've got this place memorized. It's exactly as we left it." Susan smiled and the whispered in her ear, "I saw that kiss..." Jenna looked around a little worried. She didn't like Peter like that; or a least she was pretty sure she didn't.
Edmund came up to the group and said, "The castle is in the same condition from when we left. We can stay there! Oh, and Jen, where were you?"
"Just for a walk..." she said with a smile as she walked away to go find her clothes that she had earlier.
Later That Night
Since Jenna and Susan were sharing a room, they were going to be up all night talking about whatever comes to mind. As they were changing into reasonable sleepwear, Jenna asked Susan a question that had been going through her head for hours on end. "Susan, do you think Peter likes me?"
"Do I? Of course I do, but that's not really for me to answer. If you want to know, go ask him," Susan answered smiling. She knew something was going on between those two.
"Well, I don't think I like him that way. Atleast I don't think I do..." Then, Jenna got up and walked down to Peter's room. She knocked on the door, and he told her shoe could come in.
"Look about earlier..." Peter began, she put her finger on his lips, to make him quiet.
"Peter, can we just stay friends? I need a steady man by my side while I'm here and I think that's you, but we need to be friends for that to happen." Jenna smiled at him while she said this.
"Yeah, we can. I'd like that," Peter tried to hide his broken heart. Jenna smiled again, kissed him on the cheek and headed out the door.
"Goodnight, Pete. Sweet dreams." She left to go back to her room, got in her bed and went to sleep. Something about tomorrow was going to be huge, she just didn't know it yet.
