Her Only Friend's
Chapter 6
"Oh Aslan, Lucy! It's beautiful!" Susan exclaimed.
"Yeah, he really sprung for a good one, didn't he?" Lucy smiled.
"I'll say!" Susan exclaimed.
Daniel whistled. "Whow, he really is love struck... or now in debt, one of the two."
"Closer to option number two." Michael joked, beaming.
"Awwww, you put yourself in debt for me? How sweet!" Lucy said.
"Truthfully I thought I would never see this day." Daniel muttered.
"And what exactly is that supposed to mean?" Michael asked, narrowing his eyes at Daniel.
"Oh no, don't take it the wrong way. I just never would have thought my little brother would be engaged to a Narnian Queen!" Daniel exclaimed.
"It's not that big of a deal." Lucy said.
"It may be to them, especially if they lived in Narnia. I mean, remember that one prince... what was his name... oh yeah, Rabanan, he went completely balistic when you accepted courtship." Susan said.
"I never officially accepted. I said 'Yes you may talk to me', and since that was the question he was going to ask, he immediately thought it was a yes." Lucy said dryly.
"And then Peter lost it, and when Edmund found out, they pretty much... well... there wasn't much left of that particular prince." Susan snickered.
Lucy chuckled. "Our dear brother's." she said.
"I believe I remember that. Didn't King Peter get tried for murder by the Calormenes?" Daniel asked.
"No... but that prince never returned home." Susan replied.
"I was... joking." Daniel said, backing up.
"No, they didn't kill him, he just stayed in the prison for the rest of his life." Susan replied.
"I thought they let him go." Lucy said.
"Nope." Susan replied.
"Well, we better get going if we're going to make it to the cinema in time." Daniel said looking up at the clock. Susan and Lucy put their coat's on, and the four walked out.
"I want to check the newpaper stand right quick." Susan said.
"I'll go with you." Daniel offered.
"We'll go on and get the ticket's." Michael said. Lucy smiled and took his hand before the two walked off.
"They make the cutest couple." Susan said before picking up the newspaper.
She had barely read two words when she heard Lucy's scream. Before she could put the newspaper down, she heard Daniel scream 'NO!' And then the sound of a car sreeching to a hault. Susan turned around and was horrified at the scene before her. Lucy and Michael were in the road, on the ground, a car not to far from them, with many people staring.
"LUCY!" Susan screamed dropping the newspaper. Before Daniel could stop her she ran toward them. "Lucy! Wake up! Please! Don't leave me! Please!" she sobbed. Lucy looked up at her with tears in her eyes.
"I see them." she mumbled.
"What?" Susan choked out.
"Their behind you. Their..." but Lucy broke off, her breathe escaping her.
"Who, who's behind me?!" Susan exclaimed looking behind her. No one. Daniel was over beside Michael, so it wasn't him.
"Their gone." Daniel stated, his voice watery.
"They can't be gone!" Susan exclaimed, clutching Lucy's lifeless body tight against her.
"We've got to keep strong. Ok. They're happy. Think of where they're at. Think of everybody they're seeing again." Daniel said, though tears were trailing down his cheeks.
"I... I guess... your right." Susan stuttered, looking down at Lucy "But I don't get it. She's so young.... so innocent. Or seemingly so anyway. She was anything but innocent. In Narnia anyway."
People were gathering now. And someone in one of the shops must have called the police, for an ambulance and many police cars were driving up.
"Tell them I said hi." Susan whispered to Lucy before Daniel pulled her away. They knew it was too late, but no one else, at the moment, did.
"We're all each other have now." Susan said looking up at him.
He hugged her tight and kissed the top of her head. "And that will be all we need until we join them in Aslan's Country."
"PETER! EDMUND!" Lucy cried, throwing her arms around their necks. Edmund laughed, but Peter looked unsure.
"What's wrong?" Edmund asked.
"Susan." Peter replied.
"Oh. Blasted cars." Edmund muttered.
"Michael!" a younger girl cried, running forward.
"Sophie!" Michael exclaimed, catching the smaller girl.
"Your here!" she exclaimed "Your here. That means your dead, right?"
"Yes, Sophie. I'm dead. But, I'm here." he replied spinning her around.
She laughed. "Where's Daniel?" she asked.
He stopped and put her down, looking over at Lucy. "Daniel? Lucy, Daniel's still alive!" he exclaimed.
"Calm down. It'll be fine. He has Susan. Susan has him. And as long as they have eah other, I'm sure they'll be fine." Lucy said reassuringly.
"They will be." came a rich voice from behind them.
Lucy gasped and turned around. "ASLAN!" she exclaimed.
Peter and Edmund let her go, allowing her to run toward's the Great Lion. Michael was in awe at the sight. He had never met Aslan, only heard of Him.
"I missed you!" Lucy exclaimed, burying her head in the Lion's mane.
"I was always with you, Dear One." Aslan chuckled.
When she finally let him go, she realized her crown had fallen off.
"I believe you dropped this." Edmund smiled as he put it back on her head.
"Thanks Ed!" she said hugging him tightly.
"I just gave you your crown back, that's no reason to get all emotional." Edmund joked.
"Oh, one more thing." Lucy said.
"And what's that?" Edmund asked. But a second later he was on the ground. "HAHA!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Oh, your gonna get it now!" he exclaimed before tackling her.
"GO LUCY!" Peter laughed.
Lucy flashed him a quick smile before focusing on the fight.
"Are they trying to kill each other?!" Michael exclaimed. Peter shook his head.
"I'm bringing out the secret weapon!" Edmund exclaimed.
"You wouldn't." Lucy said narrowing her eyes at him.
"I would." Edmund laughed as he began tickling her.
"Ooooooh. The ever popular tickle monster." Peter laughed.
Michael and Sophie burst out laughing.
"Surrender!" Edmund said to Lucy.
"NEVER!" Lucy laughed.
"Just give it up, there's no way you can... AGH!" He was cut off as Lucy twisted, causing him to fall.
"HA! I win!" she exclaimed. Edmund growled and let her help him to his feet.
"Your crowns." Peter chuckled, handing them their crowns back.
"Now, I'm sure you two would like to see Cair." Edmund said glancing between Lucy and Michael.
"I'd love it!" Lucy exclaimed, memorie's of her old home flooding back.
"That would be nice." Michael smiled.
"Then come on." Peter smiled.
"Wait a second." Edmund said holding his hand up.
"What?" Peter asked.
"Surely we cannot let a Lady and Queen of Narnia walk all the way back." Edmund replied.
"Surely not." Peter smirked.
"Well then how exactly am... oh no." Lucy said backing away.
"Pick a back, any back." Peter laughed.
"Now how am I possibly going to choose?" Lucy asked, putting her hands on her hips.
Edmund backed away and gave a mock bow to Peter. "She's all yours." he said.
Lucy laughed and jumped on Peter's back.
"But, you and I are going horseback riding later, little missy." Edmund said pointing at her.
"It would be an honor." she laughed.
Edmund snorted and walked beside his siblings. Michael and Sophie followed behind them. No one seemed to notice when Aslan dissapeared. But as they say... He's not a tame Lion.
