A/N: Here you go, chapter 6 - the end of this fic!
I'm so sorry that it was this short, but I felt that lengthening it too much would kinda ruin the ending.
Sorry if any one was dissappointed.
Please R&R this chappie, PLEASE!
Chapter 6 – Happily Ever After, After All.
The silhouettes of six children carrying night bags could be seen through the mist and fog of the London skies. After tearful partings and promises of a reunion at the professor's, the Pevensies along with Jill and Eustace were walking briskly along the platform of the station, the breaths coming out in little puffs before them as they spoke hurriedly to one another. In a few moments, Jill's and Eustace's train would take them directly to the boarding school they normally resided at, and in another half an hour or so, the Pevensies' train would whisk them away home, which would mark the return to the mundane normal routine of life.
Susan was making an exceptional attempt to be cheerful when all those around her were busy being dismal. After Eustace's life-changing trip to Narnia, the Pevensies, Jill and Eustace had become as thick as thieves. Seeing as Peter was currently working with an important firm, Susan was in her final year of university, Edmund was in his second year at university and Lucy was in the second year of high school, their chances of a second meeting as splendiferous as this one was very faint. Eustace had just begun university, and Jill was a senior at high school.
And so, though Jill and Lucy met occasional in the crowded halls of high school, Edmund, Susan and Eustace had occasional and reminiscent (rather brief, too!) meetings at university and Peter visited as much as he could, things just weren't the same as before.
Susan was swamped with her internship at a famous magazine house and though she was enjoying every moment of it, all too often her thoughts strayed over to that magical twenty-third birthday of hers.
Peter was engaged to Kathleen John, a charming girl whom he had begun dating during his first year of employment. His mother's happiness knew no bounds the day he had taken Kathleen home to introduce her to his parents. She had made animated conversation, gotten along very well with Susan and Edmund and simply adored Lucy, whose affections for Kathleen, 'her second elder sister' as she had taken to calling her, knew no bounds. She had even promised to Mr. Pevensie that her father, a famous neurosurgeon in the region would do his best to cure hi, as he was paralyzed hip below due to the war. For bringing him those hopes alone, Mrs. Pevensie felt indebted to Kathleen. Their wedding was to take place with this year. And unknown to anybody, Kathleen's younger sister Joanna was dating Edmund - they had met at the University where they were studying .Was it coincidence or what?!
Jill was in her final year of high school, and was enjoying it to the maximum possible. She had blossomed from being a plain, shy girl to a loud and exuberant young woman largely with the aid of Susan, and was going very strong with Eustace. After having such a life-changing experience with someone, she said, you couldn't really stay away from them. She was referring, of course, to Eustace.
Lucy had thrown herself, heart and soul, into art. The walls of her room were now adorned with large scale painting of places that were actually Narnia, but assumed by her enthralled professors that they were the fruits of her imagination. She preferred to keep it that way, though. She had even collected the best photo of Peter and Kathleen together, and was currently working on their portrait as a wedding gift to the blissful couple who were, in her eyes, perfect in every way. Her siblings agreed wholeheartedly with her.
Eustace was actually having fun overcoming the obstacles generally faced by the first years of university. He gladly took everything in his stride and proved to be a great friend to all his classmates and roommate, a smart student to his difficult professors and a loving and caring boyfriend to Jill. He took part in athletics with a renewed fervor and had tasted the sweetness of victory when he had won his first medal for the 400 meters race at his athletics meet.
Edmund was taking law very seriously, fully intending to become a judge. Due to a sudden growth spurt, he now towered above Peter with an impressive 6 feet, 3 inches. He had well-developed muscles, yet sported a thin frame. His large, soulful eyes had led to many, many girls go ga-ga over him, but he never wavered. Joanna was the one for him. He actively participated in regularly held debates and, needless to say, won a major proportion of them. The only times he lost was when he would feel pity for the opposing team, and as a result cut down on his arguments.
And so their lives went on; like the waves of an ocean, they ebbed and flowed, the carries of news good as well as bad. But two trips to a land named Narnia had changed the lives of six children - now adults and young adults - to such drastic measures that the aura they emanated could be tasted by all those who surrounded them. Each, in his or her own way, contributed to the happiness and well-being of the world in general and tried their level bests to be loyal to their families and loves.
And so, in a way, every one of them had their happily ever after fairy-tale ending, after all.

Date: 18 November, 1960
