Author's Note: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. This break has been busy for me but I am glad I got to post this before the New Year. Thank you to JesusFrreaks1999, and Jasmine Nightshade for the reviews, alerts, and favorites. They were good Christmas presents. I love you all, now here goes nothing.

Disclaimer: I am not making money off this. If I was, I would not be on Fanfiction.

Crystal POV

"Hello Crystal." Lucy said as she walked up to me.

"Hi Lucy." I said.

"He is in court." She said.

"Who?" I asked.

"Edmund. He is presiding over the court today. I know you were looking for him." She said smiling.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." I said.

"It is ok. I know you like him, he likes you too. Come on, follow me." She said with that smile again.

"Wait up now! I do not like him. I was not even looking for him." I said and ignored the weird feeling coming up in my stomach again.

"Whatever you say, now follow me." She said smugly and started walking away. I breathed a huge sigh and followed her. We snuck in the back entrance to her box so we would not interrupt.

"What is your business here?" Edmund asked the man kneeling before him.

"I have come to find my daughter." He said.

"What is your daughter's name so that we may find her?" Edmund asked.

"Crystal daughter of Jadis the White Witch." He said and a collective gasp arose. Inwardly, I began to panic.

"Why do you seek her here? The witch was exiled." Edmund said. He was still calm, cool, and collected.

"Before I was banished from her presence, Jadis spoke of a plan. This is where she would have been sent." He concluded. How could have know such things? I could only hope he did not ruin everything.

"If you must know, she fled here to seek refuge from her mother. She is both a friend of Narnia and a friend of mine. I would suggest you hold your tongue." Edmund said in a low tone. I was flooded with a warm feeling that some might associate with home but I could not place because my home had always been cold.

"She has never done anything that would make her suspicious sire?" My apparent father asked.

"On the contrary…" He begun and I cut him off.

"He once tried to kill me." I said as I walk down towards the center of the floor.

"Do you know this man?" He asked me.

"I have never seen him before." I said coolly.

"Your business is finished here." Edmund said to him and the court adjourned. I received a lot of looks but I ignored them.

"Wipe that grin off your face Lucy." She said nothing and walked away.

"Well that was interesting."He said.

"Ya." I said.

"Never had anyone do that before." He said.

"Interrupt?" I asked.

"Yep." He said.

"Thank you." I blurted out.

"For what?" He asked.

"Defending me. I have never had somebody do that before."I said quietly.

"That is what friends are for." He said.

"I guess so." I said.

"Speaking of which, your ball is only a few days away. You need to learn to dance in a dress. You will not being wearing pants to the ball." He said.

"Fine." I said. We danced and danced and danced until it was time for the ball. All the while I repressed all the feelings I was beginning to have.

Author's Note: Next chapter is the ball. Promise. I am really excited. REVIEWs help me update quicker. Have a wonderful New Year!
