Disclaimer: I don't own

A/N: This chapter might be confusing. It starts out after Peter has been gone for almost two days. Then it goes back to what happened between Peter and Susan, before Peter actually tells Lucy and Edmund happened. I hope you enjoy this chapter it's kind of short, but anyways. I'm sorry if there's some spelling/grammer mistakes. I really would never have posted this chapter if I had to do a really good proof read so I decided just to post. But I did read it a few times over, I swear.

Lucy and Edmund had watched their brother disappear exactly one day, forty-seven hours and thirty minutes ago. The past time had been spent hoping and hoping, nervously talking about what they thought was happening on earth between their brother and sister.

"She hasn't forgiven yet." Lucy said nervously.

"How do you know?"

"I'd be able to feel it."

"I don't think you could. I bet she has forgiven."

Lucy began to pace.

"She hasn't forgiven Narnia yet."

"I think she has."

"Well we'll know for sure in five minutes. Oh, I'm so nervous. What if she can't forgive?"

"Calm down Lucy."

"I can't!"

The air began to shimmer.

Peter was coming back.

Susan couldn't believe it. She just couldn't. Peter her brother. Her well, dead, brother was standing in front of her.

"Peter?" she whispered.

"Hi Su," the person who looked like her brother, exactly like her dead brother said seriously.

"Who are you? You look like…well it can't be Peter. It can't be."

"It is."

"No. This is a bad joke."

"I am Peter, the High King of Narnia."

And Susan knew. She didn't know how but she knew that it was her brother. She wanted to run and hug him but she couldn't.

"How?"

"Aslan."

"Why?"

"Because we persuaded him. Me, Lucy and Edmund. We knew you needed us."

"And he agreed?"

"Yes."

"And, oh, is Lucy coming?"

"No. It could only be one of us."

"I see."

Peter stared at her. She was taking it very calmly. Maybe they were wrong. What if she didn't need him? What if they were wrong? He expected her to fly towards him and hug him. He wanted to hug her so badly but she seemed fine. What was going on?

"So, um, why are you here?"

They were wrong. Susan was completely fine.

"Oh, well-"

And Susan ran to him wrapping her arms around him crying, "Peter, Peter."

He caught her in his arms and allowed her to sob into his shoulder. They had been right. He stroked her hair as she cried into him her voice muffled.

"How did you know…I needed you so bad…how did you do it…Lucy…I love you…and oh Lucy…and Eddy…I love them and you…"

Peter was so glad that he was here with his arms around his sister as she cried harder than she had in five years. He led her over to her couch and sat her down rubbing her back.

Susan cried for what seemed like hours. Finally she calmed down enough to talk. She told Peter how she had felt for the past few days, and then how she had felt ever since Narnia.

Peter had been right in all his guesses about her feelings.

Peter then explained about what he, Lucy and Edmund had been doing.

"Lucy and Edmund send their love."

Susan grinned a watery smile.

"But I only have two days here."

"Only two!"

"And if you accept, truly accept what has happened and stop renouncing Narnia, and truly forgive, when you die you can come and be with us."

"And if I don't?"

"There is nothing more Lucy, Edmund and I can do. You will go to a different afterlife and never see us again."

"But I don't know if I can honestly do that." Susan bit her lip. "I don't know if I can."

"You have two days. And I can help you."

Susan took another day off from work to be with Peter. They talked and talked but Susan could not find it in her to forgive Aslan and accept everything, her pain, and her life. She loved her siblings but she could not do it.

One day, forty-seven hours and thirty minutes after Peter arrived they were sitting on the couch, Peter begging Susan to forgive.

"You'll be able to be with us forever. Can't you forgive, please?"

Tears were running down Susan's cheeks.

"I can't. I'm trying, I can't."

Peter sighed and wrapped his arms around his sister.

"It's okay."

"No, it's not. What wrong with me? I can't take this last chance! Why?"

Peter held her until then the air around him began to shimmer.

"I love you Susan."

"No! Peter I love you!"

Susan hated herself. Why couldn't she forgive and be reaccepted. Why? She could see her brothers and sister forever. And her seconds for her second chance were counting down. And she couldn't do it.

30 seconds

"No, Peter! Don't!"

"It's okay, I still love you!"

20 seconds

Why couldn't she stop thinking of Aslan as that talking-life-ruining lion? Why?

"We all still love you Su!"

"NO!"

Tears began to pour down her face. She was losing them all over again.

10 seconds

A thought hit her. Aslan couldn't watch her forever. Maybe that's what he was trying to do, let her grow up,-

5 seconds

"I love you Su!"

-the way she had wanted her mother to let her to.

3 seconds

"Yes!"

Susan grabbed the remainder of what was Peter's hand.

2 seconds

"I forgive!"

48 hours—over

Susan slipped to the floor.

"I forgive!"

A/N: Well, I have the next chapter written too, before it was like 6 lines at the end of this chapter, but now its 6 lines by itself because I like the way that this chapter ends without the extra part. The epilogue will be up soon. Reviews appreciated.
