Caspian left Lucy and I in his room while he showed Peter and Edmund where they could get changed. When he came back he said,

"Now, since there are no women aboard, there is not any women's clothing. All I can give you is the smallest male clothing. I'm sorry," He finished, handing Lucy and I each a pair of men's pants and men's shirts.

"It's alright; they'll do." I replied.

"Also, we have some small boots." He added, setting the boots that were in his hands on the ground.

"Thank you, Caspian." Lucy said politely. He bowed his head slightly, before leaving us to change. Lucy turned to me.

"Su, I do not want to wear men's clothing. It'll be too baggy. We'll look so unattractive." I sighed. I looked around the room. I noticed that there were a few drawers in the cabinet, and I went and pulled them open. In one, I found a pair of scissors and a needle and thread. I held them up with a smirk.

"Put the pants on Lu, I've got an idea." And with that, I pulled the pants in close to her legs, so they showed more of her figure.

Next, she put the shirt on. It was pretty baggy, and didn't do her justice. I tapped the scissors against my lips, thinking. I glanced over towards Caspian's wardrobe. I walked over and opened it up. I looked through the shirts until I found what I was looking for.

"Oh, Su, you're a genius!" Lucy exclaimed as I wrapped the belt around her torso, making her waist look tinnier.

It took me about five more minutes to do the same to my clothes, and then soon, we put on the boots. "What about our hair?" Lucy asked as she pulled her hair out of its pony-tail.

"We'll leave it down to dry." I announced, pulling my own hair out. It had been a year since our last trip to Narnia, and in that time, I grew my hair out. It comes to my low back. Lucy's hair falls to about the middle of her back, as it did then.

We walked out onto the deck, earning glances from the crew. We were told to meet Caspian and the boys in the Map Room, where he'd tell us what had happened in our absence. A very friendly crew member showed us to the room eagerly. We smiled appreciably, and walked in.

Caspian, Edmund, and Peter, along with another man who I supposed to be Drinian, the captain, stood waiting. Caspian just looked at us, while Edmund said,

"So that's what took you so long." He rolled his eyes, and Caspian seemed to snap out of whatever was holding him.

"You are very good with a needle." He pointed out.

"Well, years of tending to battle wounds and ripped clothes really do pay off." I responded, spreading my arms to gesture to the outfits.

"So, let's get on with the story!" Lucy said excitedly. Caspian smiled at her and he showed us all over to a table with a map on it.

He then told us about how they had defeated the Giants of the North, and fought some guys in the desert. (A/N I don't remember what the name of the tribe is.)

"Now there is peace in Narnia. And so I have set out to fulfill the promise I made on my coronation day. We are sailing out to look for the Seven Lost Lords. My Uncle banished them when he took over. They were my father's most trusted allies, and his closest friends. I intend to find out what happened to them." He finished, looking at a wall of seven sketches. The men in the sketches looked very Telmarine, indeed. Some even resembled Caspian.

"And what if they're all dead?" Peter asked, leaning against the table. Caspian turned around.

"Then I know that they are all dead." He shrugged.

"So, if there is peace across Narnia," Edmund started up after a second of silence. "And there are no battles to be fought, why are we here?"

"I have been wondering that myself." Caspian replied.

"Maybe it's because we are needed here." Lucy said, looking around at us all.

"But, still… Peter and I aren't supposed to be here." I replied, my forehead crinkling in distress.

"Maybe you are." Drinian said, talking for the first time.

"I still wonder—," Peter started to say, but was cut off by the door bursting open. Reepicheep stood there, his tail whipping around. When he saw us he smiled.

"I heard rumors that you were here. I came looking as soon as I did. I can't believe you are here! Majesties," He said, pulling his sword out and placing it over his chest, he bowed to us.

"Reep, it's so good to see you again! How've you been?" Lucy asked, kneeling down to be more level with him.

"I have been great, better now that you all are here, but, great all the same. How have you been? I have missed you dearly, and so has our dear little friend, Trumpkin."

"Oh, Trumpkin! How is he? Where is he?" She asked, puzzled by his absence, sense he is Caspian's friend.

"I left him in charge of the kingdom," Caspian cut in, smiling.

"Oh, really? He must be pretty happy." Lucy said smugly. I rolled my eyes.

"Be ready for some change in the kingdom when you get back." Edmund said, laughing slightly.

"Oh yes, I've already prepared for the worst." Caspian agreed.

We talked with them for, apparently, hours. When we came out of the room, back onto the main deck, the sun was gone and the stars were bright in the sky.

"Oh, sleeping arrangements!" Caspian exclaimed, snapping his fingers. "Susan, Lucy, you will take my room." Lucy and I started to protest, saying it wasn't necessary, but he insisted. "Peter, Ed, and I will be bunking below deck with the crew." He finished.

"I will show you two the way!" Reep exclaimed, leading Ed and Pete off.

"I will help you two get settled." Caspian said warmly, taking us back into the State Room (aka his room). He basically just showed us around a bit more, you know, where the lu is and all.

"Thank you Cassie!" Lucy hugged his with a smile. He groaned.

"Who told you about that nickname?" He asked her, as he let her out of the hug.

"Reep." She stated with a smile. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Never tell where you get your information, Lu. You could seriously get Reepicheep in some trouble." I told her, shaking my head.

"Well, Reepicheep told Edmund first. Then, Ed told me. So, technically I learned it from Edmund." She explained.

"Don't worry; I won't hurt them…yet." Caspian said, narrowing his eyes playfully. Lucy and I giggled, and then told him goodnight.

We got dressed into the provided night clothes. For Lucy and I, it was just the biggest shirts they had on the ship. They were long enough to be night gowns. We were laying in Caspian's bed, when I realized we were laying in Caspian's bed!

"Oh my gosh Lucy, we're sleeping in Caspian's bed." I rolled onto my back, staring at the ceiling.

"Oh, don't flip out. It's not like he's sleeping in it with us." She said with her back to me.

"Still…" I replied. She just yawned and told me to go to sleep. I rolled over, and smelled the pillow. It smelled just like Caspian. Warm, sweet, and like… well, warmth. I don't know if I can describe it. It's a very nice smell, and it's very comforting.

Soon, I had drifted to sleep…

I woke up, probably around four, because through the doors that lead out to a small balcony, I could see the water glowing from the sun rising. I climbed out of bed and walked out onto the main deck. I went up to the front of the ship to watch the sun rise.

I felt a hand rest on my shoulder, jumped slightly, and turned around to see Caspian, in all his glory. I smiled at him.

"Morning, you scared me there." I remarked, as he came and stood next to me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." He replied, looking at me.

"It's fine…" I trailed off, turning to look back out at the water. "Beautiful…" I stated, staring at the sun rise.

"Yes, beautiful…" I noticed that he was still staring at me, as he said this. He hadn't even looked at the sunrise. I turned and faced him with a smirk.

"You look so grown up now," I pointed out, after a brief silent stare.

"It's been three years." He replied, tucking a piece of my hair that had blown across my face behind my ear.

"I missed you," I whispered as his hand rested on my neck.

"I missed you, too…" He replied, stepping closer to me. Unconsciously, I leaned in to kiss him. He met me half way, and my eyes fluttered closed. Just as our lips touched, the man in the crow's nest shouted,

"Land ho!"

So, what'cha think? I'd love for you to tell me. You know, like, in a review.

Thanks for reading!
