When they arrived in the throne room, Peter let go of Riley's hand. She smiled at him and walked over to Susan and Lucy. Peter looked at Aslan. He knelt down and bowed his head.

"Rise, High King Peter, the Magnificent," Aslan said. Peter slowly stood up.

"I'm so sorry Aslan for running out like that," Peter apologized.

"Do not apologize. I understand that it must not be easy to come back from a spell, only to be heartbroken." Aslan told him. Peter nodded and looked over at Edmund, who bowed his head in shame. Lucy walked over to Edmund and gave him a hug, which he accepted.

"What do we do about Felicity's body?" Susan asked.

"Burn it," Riley answered. They all looked at Aslan for approval. He nodded his head.

"I'll get Orieus on it right away. What about all of the soldiers that Felicity had?" Peter asked.

"They're in the dungeons now. It's awfully crowded, but we have to deal with it until we're sure they are not going to harm anyone," Susan answered.

"Peter, I believe you have a meeting with King Lune in Archenland," Aslan said. Peter nodded his head and walked up to Riley.

"What's he talking about?" Riley asked.

"I need to go to Archenland and talk to Lune about the Duke's daughter. I'll have to leave as soon as possible. But, I promise I won't be gone for more than a week." Peter answered.

"Be careful," Riley said.

"I will be. Plus, I'll have Edmund with me," Peter told her.

"What?" Edmund asked. Peter and Riley turned to look at him.

"You're coming with me to Archenland."

"Pete, if this is about you not trusting me with Riley…"

"That's not it. I just don't think I can do all the talking, my mind wasn't really in the right place during all of this," Peter told him. Edmund smiled and nodded his head.

"We'll leave in the morning." Peter said.

"I must also leave. For there are things I need to do," Aslan added.

"Will you be back?" Lucy asked.

"Yes, dear one. I will return the day after your brothers come back. Good day," Aslan answered. The Kings and Queens, along with Riley, bowed. Aslan turned and left them. They looked at each other and smiled.

"So, what have you three been up to?" Susan asked.

"I haven't slept for nearly two days," Edmund said.

"I married Felicity," Peter said.

"Ew…" Susan and Lucy replied. They laughed a little and turned their attention to Riley.

"I died," Riley told them.

"Wow, that's sucks," Susan said.

"No wonder you look like an angel," Lucy pointed out. Riley smiled and all three girls hugged. Peter and Edmund soon joined in. They stood like that for a minute before parting.

"Well, shall we have supper?" Susan asked and they left the room.

***********************************************

Riley walked back to her room and was about to walk in when she decided to do something else. She turned and walked down the hall toward Peter's room. She stepped up to the door and knocked.

"Come in," Peter said from the other side. Riley pushed the door and opened it. Peter was walking back into his room from the balcony and stared at her.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," Riley replied. "I just wanted to know if you were feeling okay after today."

"I thought I answered that in the garden," Peter told her.

"I know, but I just feel like I owe something." Riley replied.

"Riley, don't worry. I told you I wasn't mad about you kissing Edmund, and that's the truth. Don't feel bad. You only did it to save Narnia." Peter said. Riley gave him a weak smile. Peter walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Riley put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest. She could hear his heart beat and felt comfortable.

"You should get some rest. It's been a long day," Peter told her.

"I suppose you're right." Riley pulled away from him and headed for the door.

"I didn't say you had to go back to your room," Peter said to her. Riley stopped and turned to look at him.

"Then where do I go?" she asked, pretending to not know the answer. Peter smiled, walked over to her and picked her up bridal style. He carried her to the bed and gently placed her on it. Peter walked to the other side and laid down. Riley turned and rested her head on his chest once again. Peter placed and arm behind his head and the other was draped around Riley. They slowly fell asleep.

When Riley woke up the next morning, she found that Peter was already gone, but found a note on the pillow next to her. She sat up and opened the note.

Dear Riley,

I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye. I just saw you sleeping so soundly that I couldn't wake you. I hope you know that I love you with all my heart and I will return in a week. I think that will be enough time to get everything ready. Confused? I thought you would be. When I get back to Narnia, I'm going to do something that I've wanted to do since the moment I met you. I'm going to marry you. I've talked to the staff in Cair Paravel and they're already decorating the throne room and getting everything ready. I gave letters to Susan and Lucy, explaining everything, and they'll help you with whatever you need done. And the seamstress is waiting to make your wedding dress. Again, I love you, and I can't wait to see you walk down the aisle.

Sincerely,

High King Peter

MARRIED?! Riley quickly got out of bed and ran out of the room. She raced through the halls and to the dining hall. When she got there Susan and Lucy were sitting at the table. They turned to look at her and instantly got out of their seats and ran over to her. They nearly knocked Riley over as they engulfed her in a hug. When they parted, all three of them screamed in excitement.

"I'm getting married!" Riley exclaimed. They jumped up and down with joy.

"Oh my goodness, we have so much to do and only a week to do it. We better start now," Susan pointed.

"I think the first priority is Riley's dress," Lucy said. Susan nodded.

"And second priority is your bridesmaid dresses," Riley told them. Susan and Lucy smiled and hugged her again.

"I can't wait. I get another sister," Lucy said.

"And I two sisters," Riley replied. Susan and Lucy pulled away and Susan grabbed Riley arm and led her toward the table.

"Alright, eat real quick and we'll head over to the seams tree so she can get started on our dresses." Susan told her. Riley didn't argue and quickly began eating. The week ahead was going to be busy and Riley was both happy and nervous.

When she finished eating, Riley was literally dragged to the seamstress where she stood on a podium for a long time so the seamstress could get her measurements. After Riley was done, Susan and Lucy got measured and they spent another hour talking about what the dresses should look like.

For her dress, Riley decided on a light-weight silk with lace for the sleeves, obviously it was white. It was simple, but it was going to be gorgeous. As for Lucy and Susan's dresses, they were going to be in emerald green velvet with gold stitching. They were extremely excited about it and praised Riley for her taste in style.

"Well, when I've been planning my wedding since I was five I know what I want," Riley told them.

"I bet you had to alter a lot of your plans to fit here," Lucy said. Riley really hadn't thought about it until Luc said something. It was true though, there was a lot that she had to change to fit Narnia. But, when she tried to think about it all, her life before Narnia seemed to be a distant memory that she could barely recall. Not wanting to worry Lucy she flashed her a smile.

"I find that what I originally had planned would seem mediocre compared to this," Riley assured her. "Plus, I have you two as my bridesmaids. That in itself is wonderful."

"Riley, we're so happy for you and Peter. We couldn't picture him with anyone better." Susan told her. Riley smiled again as they walked to the dining hall for lunch. When they got there they found Mr. and Mrs. Beaver waiting for them.

"Hello, what brings you here?" Susan asked.

"We wanted to congratulate Riley on her engagement to High King Peter." Mrs. Beaver answered.

"And, to give you this," Mr. Beaver said to Riley. He walked over to Riley and handed her a small box. She looked at it for a moment before opening it. She nearly fainted when she saw a gorgeous heart-shaped diamond ring. Susan and Lucy gasped when they saw it.

"Put it on!" the sisters said in unison. Riley took it out of the box a slipped it onto her left ring finger. It fit perfectly. Riley admired it and nearly cried. Everything seemed so perfect. She couldn't wait for the biggest day of her life.
