CatB: Switching schools midyear caused a plethora of problems that even I was not anticipating and so it has been a while since I last updated, and for that I am sorry.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Chronicles of Narnia...or the actors from the movies, either. Sadness.

Chapter Four:Caspian's POV

It might just be me, but it seems like things have been really tense around here lately. Between the Pevensies, that is.

I would ask one of them what is going on, but I don't want to be intrusive. Besides, Edmund and Susan are barely talking to me as it is and Peter-Peter will just deny that anything's wrong, because that's what Peter does. I guess there's always Lucy…

"Hey, Lucy?"

"Cassssspiannnnnnn!"

…Did I mention she's been acting even friendlier than usual?

"Uh, yeah, Lucy-"

Is she batting her eyelashes at me? No, no, it's probably a trick of the light.

"Yeah, um, are things, you know, okay between you and your siblings?"

"Of course they are, Caspian! Just peachy."

Man, now I want peaches! Or plums. I love plums. Er, that is to say-

"Lucy, you're lying to me!"

"What? No, I'm not!"

"Lucy, look at me. You may be a sweet, lovely little girl, but you're a terrible liar."

She's smiling. Doesn't she realize that wasn't really a compliment? Ah, yes, now she's beginning to frown…and turn bright red.

"I'm not little, Caspian! I'm only a foot shorter than you are!"

At least a foot. I'm sure it's more, though. Not that I'm about to tell her that, because I actually value my life, and I would not put it past Lucy to stab me in a fit of anger or something. She's got quite the temper, let me tell you.

Okay, I'm getting a bit off track. Back to grilling Lucy!

"Lucy, darling, be a dear and tell me, honestly, whether you and your siblings are having any problems."

"Didn't we already have this conversation, Casp? Can I call you Casp?"

What?! "Um...NO."

"Aw, why not?"

"Because Casp sounds like...clasp! Yeah, clasp. And I'm not a clasp!"

Now she's giggling like that's the funniest thing she's ever heard...wow. I had no idea I was so funny!

I should tell her a joke and see if she laughs...

"Hey, Lucy? What's pink and fluffy?"

"Uh...I don't know."

"Pink fluff! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

I can't believe she's actually laughing. I must be funnier than I thought.

"Hey, what's short, has brown hair, and giggles a lot?"

"No idea."

"You! HAHAHAHA!"

Ow! She slapped me. Well, I thought it was funny...

"That hurt, you-you...meanie-butt!"

Oh, good. Here's Peter. He can yell at her for me!

Wait...he's not yelling at her. Why isn't he yelling at her?!

Oh. Because he's yelling at me.

"Caspian, what the hell did you do to my little sister?"

Why does she get cuddled? I'm the one with the burning cheek! Okay, she didn't hit me that hard, but still.

She's the one that slapped me and I get yelled at.

Hmph. Life is so unfair to devilishly handsome men such as myself. The cute (and sometimes not so cute) little girls get all the attention, and I'm sick and tired of it! I thought Peter was on my side, too, but I guess blood is thicker than love. Or whatever.

This realization is too depressing. Goodbye, cruel world!

"CASPIAN?!"

CatB: Another cliffhanger ending, haha. This chapter was so random. Caspian is so random. Gotta love him, though. ;)

Reviews make my day a billion times better! You could be the reason why my day doesn't completely suck! (Consider it good karma or your good deed for the day...)
