"Susan! You'd better come quickly!

Susan Pevensie turned away from the latest nerdy boy to hit on her to see her little sister, Lucy, racing towards her. She cast a glance back to the boy before picking up her things and following after her.

Lucy lead Susan through the bustling, rainy streets of London until they reached the underground, and as they approached they were greeted by loud roaring shouts echoing out into the streets. As they ran into the underground, neither of them noticed as they passed a stone lion placed outside the building next door, its expression impassive and stern as it took in the scene.

The girls ran in and found themselves shoving through a large, writhing crowd of their pumped and cheering classmates. Susan let out a disgusted sigh as they came to a break in the crowd and saw what the whole fuss was about.

In the center of the mass of students was the girls' elder brother, Peter, being tag teamed by two of the many boys he'd been having trouble with over the past year. One of the boys picked Peter up and shoved him by his golden blond hair up to the cackling crowd, as if saying 'this could be you if you mess with us.' Peter locked eyes with Susan for a brief moment, in which she gave him an angry and disappointed shake of her head before he was shoved face first into the wall and then repeatedly kicked.

As if the situation couldn't have gotten any worse, Edmund, the second youngest of the four, shoved himself between Susan and Lucy and threw himself into the fray.

"Edmund!!" Lucy wailed as she watched him throw himself upon one of Peter's attackers, tackling him to the ground.

After about another five minutes of watching the wrestling match of Peter and Edmund vs. brutish fellow one and brutish fellow two, a small group of security guards stormed into the tunnel, blowing their whistles and shouting at the school kids. Instantly, the crowd melted away into only Susan and Lucy, who watched as Peter and Edmund were yanked from the ground and reprimanded harshly.

"Act your age!" a guard snapped before Peter jerked away and gave him a nasty look before storming away.

Soon after, the Pevensies found themselves waiting for their train in a thick silence.

"You're welcome." Edmund said darkly to his brother, coming to sit on the bench after retrieving his bags from where he'd dropped them. Peter shot him a nasty look.

"I had it sorted," he snarled, standing up on slightly wobbly legs and pacing.

"What was it this time?" Susan asked, in that tone of a mother fed up with her little child and their antics. Peter turned back to the group, his expression telling them that he was seething and daring them to mess with him.

"He bumped me." he answered simply.

"So you hit him?!" Lucy sounded flabbergasted.

"No, after he bumped me, he tried to make me apologize. That's when I hit him."

"Really, is it that hard to just walk away?" Susan asked, her light blue eyes turning icy with anger. Not only was Peter's fighting causing problems for him and their home life, but lately Susan was starting to get harassed about her older brothers infamous short-fused temper.

"I shouldn't have to!" Peter barked. "I mean, don't you ever get tired of being treated like kids?"

"Um, we are kids," Edmund pointed out.

"Well, I wasn't always." Peter growled. Susan and Edmund exchanged a look, as they both had realized where this was going. "It's been a year," Peter continued, taking his seat again. "How long does he expect us to wait?"

"I think it's time to accept that we live here," Susan said, indicating to the world around them. "It's no use pretending any different." she glanced behind her and had to do a double take, seeing, much to her disdain, the nerdy boy who had pursued her not fifteen minutes ago. "Oh no.." she muttered, her head whipping back around to her siblings, who looked quite lost. "Pretend you're talking to me."

"Uhhuh, we ARE talking to you," Edmund said as if he were talking to a special person. She returned his 'no duhh' look venomously.

"OWW!!" Lucy yelped, jumping up and spinning around.

"Quiet, Lu," Susan hissed lowly, looking around.

"Something pinched me!" the youngest Pevensie shouted, pointing at the bench.

"Hey, stop pulling!" Peter shouted angrily, jumping up and spinning around. A train sped by them, sending papers flying off the huge bulletin boards and knocking blowing Lucy's hat off. Edmund and Susan jumped up also, their shouts drowned out by the roaring of the train.

Soon tiles started flying off the walls, floor, and ceiling, and as the train exited through the tunnel that was also ripped apart.

"What is it?" Peter had to shout to be heard.

"It feels like magic!" Lucy called back, grinning from ear to ear.

"Quick, everyone hold hands." ever the logical one, Susan followed her own advice and grabbed Peter and Lucy's hands.

"I'm not holding your hand!" Edmund snapped at Peter.

"Just-" Peter angrily grabbed his little brother's hand, despite his protests.

The four stood and watched as the station was completely torn away, and with a huge flash of white light was replaced by with a large mouthed cave. The children cautiously stepped out onto a white sanded beach. Swirling aqua blue waves lapped at the entrance of the cave, and as they stepped out onto the beach they saw that the cave was attached to a large rock face that stretched as far as they could see. A large rock formation loomed not too far away from the beach, half covered in some kind of green moss like plant.

They stood and stared in wonder, not quite believing but not wanting to doubt, and then Susan let out a laugh and took off at full speed, stripping her shoes and jacket as she went and diving into the waves. The other three ran after her, equally as enthusiastic, and soon they were all splashing and playing in the crystal blue expanse. They whooped and hollered and cheered victoriously.

Susan flung her arms into the water, creating a great splash aimed at Edmund, but stopped and wadded over to him. "Ed?" she said worriedly, seeing the blank way he was staring up at the rock wall.

"Where do you suppose we are?" he asked, not taking his eyes off the wall.

"Well, where do you think?" Peter said, his elation sounding in his voice. Edmund shot him a look.

"It's just, I don't remember any ruins in Narnia," he said, again looking up at the rocks. Peter and Susan exchanged a look before following his gaze. They indeed saw the ruins of what appeared to have been a once great castle.

"Let's go check it out!" Lucy exclaimed enthusiastically before taking off up the cliff.

The four were soon among the castle ruins, exploring in silence. Peter stood at the top of a desecrated flight of stairs, hands on his hips and expression cloudy. Edmund was brushing his hand across a large stone pillar that had been knocked in two, his brow creased deeply with his thoughts. Susan stood in the middle of it all, looking around with glazed blue eyes. Lucy walked up to what appeared to have been a great balcony and look down at the beach from which they had just come. There was a sense of familiarity with the view, but she brushed it off as a déjà vu. It was she who finally broke the silence.

"I wonder who lived here," she said.

"I think we did.." Susan said, having just stepped on a cold object that glittered brilliantly in the sunlight. Lucy turned and looked at her, confusion written across her face, and started over to her. Peter and Edmund, having heard the conversation, were running over to the older of their sisters, their gazes fixed on her outstretched hand.

"Hey, that's mine! From my chess set!" Edmund exclaimed, taking the object and cradling it in his hands.

"Which chess set?" Peter asked, earning him a look from Edmund.

"Well, I didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set in Finchley, now did I?" he said sarcastically. Peter glared at him lightly.

"It can't be.." Lucy said suddenly, sounding dazed. The other three looked at her just in time to see her taking off towards a large, elevated stone platform with four large structures that were unidentifiable they were so broken and worn down. They took off after her.

As they reached the strange platform, Lucy, who had somehow managed to grab hold of Peter's hand, dragged him to the first of the structures and planted him there.

"Don't you see?" she said to him. He looked down at her, utterly confused.

"What?!" he sounded exasperated. She span him to face the large clearing from which they'd come.

"Imagine a glass roof." she moved next to Susan, placing her by the structure next to Peter's. "And columns there." she placed Edmund next to Susan, then took up her place at the structure on the end. "And a glass roof." she added, swinging her arm above her head. She watched each of her siblings, measuring them for their reactions as she waited for them to picture what she had told them to.

"Cair Paravel…" Peter half whispered, his eyes glazed over with memories.

The four siblings stood, stunned into silence by their long locked-away memories of long ago, happier times.
