"Vi! Vi! Get up! Get Up! Mummy made us breakfast! Toast and butter, with tea that has sugar! Get up! Get up!"
"Em, leave me be. I gotta get over the Pevensies' later," Violet said groggily. She was not a morning person at all.
"Well you can see your boyfriend after breakfast. Mummy said we have to have breakfast together today."
"He is not my boyfriend. He's my best friend! Now let me go back to sleep!"
"No! Come on! Get dressed and come down! Or I'll sick Louis on you!"
"Louis is a small dog, he can't hurt me," violet told her younger sister.
"Well I'll call Edmund and Peter over here and they'll see you in your nightdress. Boyfriend or best friend, he's still a boy and he shouldn't see you in you nightdress," Emily said as she darted off the bed and out of the room.
"You little brat!" Violet said as she threw her dressing robe on, and raced down after her sister, who had stopped at the front door. "Oh no," Violet said quietly to herself. Emily turned to look at Violet and whispered something to the person at the door.
She then turned to Violet and said, "Oh Vi! Someone's here to see you!"
Violet went to the door and immediately turned a rather unflattering shade of bright pink, though she didn't know why, because at the door was her best friend, Edmund Pevensie.
"Emily!" Violet yelled at her sister, who was already long gone.
"Vi, it's no big deal, I see Su and Lu in their nightdresses all the time, rather Lucy in her nightdress, and Susan in her nightdress and dressing robe. Either way, it isn't a big deal at all."
"Well if you're sure, come on in."
"Actually I was wondering if you could go for a walk with me."
"Sure, but I have to get dressed. Did you eat?"
"No," Edmund replied.
"Ask my mum if you can have breakfast with us."
"Alright," Edmund said as he walked into the kitchen, where Mrs. Bennett was brewing tea. Violet left to get dressed.
When she came down (not five minutes later), Emily was waiting at the foot of the stairs. "Vi! Mummy says you're to eat right now!"
"Alright, Em," Violet responded as she entered the kitchen, where they ate breakfast. Emily trailed behind. When they reached the kitchen they saw Mrs. Bennett still brewing tea, and Edmund sitting at the table.
"Tea's ready, dears," Mrs. Bennett said as she served the tea, and toast. Everyone ate in silence, until they were all finished. Then Edmund stood up and asked, "Mrs. Bennett, can Vi and I take a walk?"
"I suppose, but Vi, be home before lunch."
Violet smiled, "I will, Mum."
So Violet and Edmund walked the three blocks to the Pevensies' house. When they reached the house, Violet thought of something.
"Ed, what happened to make you so polite today?" Violet asked, as Edmund was usually a lot less kind.
"I pulled a harmless prank on Su," Edmund said as he sat down on the step.
Violet looked at him doubtfully. His last few pranks had involved, "Worms, did it involve worms?" she asked.
Edmund smiled a bit, "Maybe," he said.
"It did! Ed," Violet sighed as she sat down on the step next to him. "You really shouldn't have pulled a prank on Susan that involved worms. You know how terrified of them she is."
"I know, but Vi! It was so funny! I put a worm in her napkin, and she lifted it up to put it on her lap and screamed. Mum sent me out of the house without breakfast."
Violet had to chuckle at the image of Susan finding a worm in her napkin. "Hardly what I'd call harmless! She could have had a heart attack, you twit!"
"So maybe it wasn't harmless, but it was funny!"
"I don't doubt that one bit, Ed."
"You should have seen it!" Edmund said to Violet.
"I'm glad I didn't! You know I'd have laughed and then Susan would hate me!"
"She wouldn't hate you, Vi, no one can hate you."
"Yes they can!" Violet argued.
"Who hates you, Vi?"
"I don't know, but someone can!
"No one can!" Edmund argued back.
"Someone will, Ed, I'm not perfect!"
"Maybe not, but no one can hate you. Now I'm another story."
"Nobody hates you either, Edmund, they're just really disappointed at how you've become beastly to everyone."
"Eustace hates me," Edmund pointed out. Violet knew Eustace; he had once come to visit.
"He hates everyone," Violet said.
"But not you. He didn't smart mouth you, or make you cry, or make you want to punch him."
"Oh I did want to punch him. Trust me."
"I believe it, but the point is, Vi, no one really hates you."
"No one hates you either, Ed."
Just at that moment, the door opened and Peter poked his head out. The sixteen-year-old had a look of suspicion upon his face. "Ed, Mum wants to talk to us. Hi, Violet. You'd be best off going home. Mum's bloody tense today and I suspect something's up."
"Okay. Bye Edmund, bye Peter," Violet said as she got up.
"Bye Violet," Peter said to her.
"See you," Edmund said.
Violet smiled and began to walk home. When she got to her house, Emily was sitting on the front step, and humming The Andrews Sisters' Oh Johnny. When she saw her sister she smiled.
"How was your date with your boyfriend?"
"He's not my boyfriend, Emily Mary-Elizabeth Bennett!"
"Alright, but he will be. He likes you."
"No he doesn't Emily. Come along inside."
So Violet and Emily went inside, while just three blocks away, the Pevensies were receiving the news that they would be leaving Finchley for Professor Kirke's and that Violet would be going as well.
