Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own the Chronicles of Narnia...blah blah blah, you get the point.

Fact: My pink iPod Chromatic (like Jen's) is filled with videos of Fred Figglehorn (If you don't know him, look for him on YouTube...I absolutely love watching his videos...plus, he hot...and addictive...^_^)and videos of Smosh (Shut up! No, you shut up!)

Ugh.

I hate it.

This is the day I have to say goodbye to my grandmother. Forever.

I'm still sitting in the car (damnit! They won't let me out yet). My backpack is sitting beside me, taunting me to open it.

I picked it up and opened it. I took the book Mama gave me and opened the lock. When I opened it, I felt something weird: a good kind of weird. I turned to one page and saw a photo of Mama with three other kids with her clipped to the page. I read the note beside it. It said:

Me with Peter, Edmund and Lucy at the Professor's house.

I started to read it until the door opened. I shoved the book back into my backpack and zipped it up.

"Come on Jen." Julian said.

I took my backpack, slung it over my shoulder and stepped out of the car. We were still in the parking lot.

Julian closed the door and led me to my parents. As usual, they were talking to each other. My sister was trying to look like she's so mature (again, as usual). I know I can't stand her, but I sat on the chair beside her.

"So Jennifer," she said, her hands clasped together. Ugh. What were you thinking?

"Yes my dearest sister?" I said mockingly.

"Oh nothing. It's just," she said. Then she burst into tears.

"Okay. I'll leave you alone." I said, leaving her crying.

I walked up to Julian who was stiffly standing like a metal post.

"Don't strain yourself." I said. I tried to feel a little happy, though I know I couldn't.

"Oh. I'm fine, don't worry about me."

"Who else is coming?" I asked. I know that many people will come because my grandmother was a

"The Nelsons and the Mings are coming today, but you know that there are too many to mention, right?" he said

"Hmm...the Nelsons?" I asked.

"Don't tell me you don't remember the Nelsons. Don't you remember that time when Alexander introduced you to both your families as his 'beautiful and adoring fiancé'?" he asked, trying to remind me.

"Oh yeah. Then I punched him and told him that the wedding was off because he was paying too much attention to the cat." I replied, laughing. "Now I remember."

"Jennifer dear, please come." My father called.

"You ought to go." Julian said.

"Oh, can you watch my bag for me?"I asked.

"You should bring it. Just sling it over your shoulder." He said.

I smiled, slung the bag over my right shoulder and walked over to my father, who was talking to my mother and the priest.

"Yes dad?" I asked, approaching them. At first I thought they wouldn't look at me, being busy and all: but they looked at my direction.

"Jen, this is Father Greg." My father said.

"Nice to meet you." The priest said.

"And the same to you too." I replied, taking his hand and putting it near my forehead.

Then I heard a familiar voice behind me say "Jen?"

I turned around and saw Alexander: my best guy friend.

"May I go?" I asked my father.

"Yes. We'll see you later." My father replied absentmindedly.

I ran over to Alexander, and hugged him.

"Well, look who's missing me too much." He said, looking over my head.

"Oh stop it!" I said, punching him on the shoulder. "You haven't changed a bit! You grew taller though."

"Is it ever appropriate to tell your best friend that the only change you noticed was his height?"

"To me, yes."

"Then you're still the same pipsqueak I used to do this to!" he replied, wrapping his arm around my neck and giving me a noogie.

"Ow! Stop it! Alright." I yelled. Man, it hurt!

He let go of me, and I reminded him "You do know that we're at a funeral, right?"

"Yes. I'm so sorry. Your grandmother, I think, is the coolest person on earth: besides Tony Hawk."

"Hmm..."

When everyone: my other relatives, my grandmother's friends, our family friends and all, were there, the priest started. I was holding a white rose, and everyone could tell that I was going to cry: after all, she was the only one in our family I was so close to.

"We are gathered here today to remember Susan P. Charleston..."

I couldn't bear to hear all this, so I walked away to another part of the cemetery. If you were alone there, you'd probably be scared, but I wasn't.

I walked to a Willow tree and sat under it. A lake was near the tree, so I was careful not to let myself, or my clothes, get wet.

The silence was so peaceful it got every problem out of my mind.

I took off the necklace my Mama gave to me and looked at it: it was glittering in the sunlight. Then, I put it back on and took the book she gave me out of my bag. I flipped through the pages of the book: it gave off this beautiful and comforting scent.

I was reading a few pages when I suddenly drifted off to sleep.

"Jen! Jen! Watch out!" A boy yelled.

A soldier was about to hit me with a sword when I suddenly did a matrix twist and hit him with my sword: I cut his head off.

"Thanks." I said.

"Don't mention it." He replied, looking at me.

The war was over.

I ran to the prince. He looked at me and hugged me tightly.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yes." I replied. I looked at him and saw his arm bleed.

"Oh, you're hurt."

"It's nothing. It would really hurt if you were." He said.

"Are you two lovebirds done? Because we have to get out of here. Everyone's looking for us." The boy said hesitantly.

"Ow. My head hurts." I said to myself.

I stood up and walked a bit to stretch my legs. I noticed that everything was quiet.

I took my backpack and slung it over my shoulder, and I started to walk back to the funeral.

I noticed while I was walking that the place didn't look like the cemetery: it looked more like I was in a forest. Also, there was no noise of crying.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" I called.

I was in a deserted place.

"Hello!" I called out again.

Suddenly, a young man, actually he looked like I was as old as him, in strange clothes passed by riding on a horse holding to another one by its reins.. He stopped and led the horses near me.

"Hello. Can you help me?" I asked.

"Why yes of course."

"Have you seen a bunch of people in black?"

"In black? I'm afraid I haven't."

"Oh. That's too bad."

"Well, I have to go-"

"Please. May I come with you?"

"Well, I have wanted to talk to someone for a long time already, and I can't exactly talk to the horse. Come along." He said, getting off the horse.

I got on the other horse with his help. Then, he got on his and we started to go.

"By the way, what's your name?" I asked.

"My name is David." He replied.

David. He looks familiar. His voice is familiar too. I thought.

"And what is your name?" he asked.

"Oh. My name is Jennifer. "

"Pleased to meet you Jennifer."

"Please. Call me Jen. I'm not really used to people calling me 'Jennifer'."

We rode on in silence for what seemed like ten minutes.

Then, my curiosity smote me. "Where exactly are we?"

"Funny you'd ask that. We are at Lantern Waste, the western point of Narnia."

I suddenly felt weird. Didn't Mama say she's been to this place before?

"What's the matter?" David asked.

"Oh. Nothing."

"So, where are you from? You aren't exactly a giant, so you're not from Ettinsmoor. Are you from Telmar?"

"No."I said uncomfortably.

"How about Archenland?"

"Not exactly." I replied. "What are these places you're talking about?"

"Don't you know the places here in Narnia?"

"I'm not even form here."

He looked at me surprised. "Are you saying that you're from another world?"

"I'm going to have to say yes."I replied.

"Oh. Come on." He said, leading his horse to the right path of the road.

We rode on for half an hour. David wasn't talking to me, and when I wanted to ask him why, he only said that I just have to follow him.

After five more minutes, I finally lost my nerve. "Where are you taking me?" I asked.

His only reply was a finger pointing somewhere. I looked at the direction his finger pointed to.

I don't know, but I think my mouth opened in a dumbfounded way.

Of course I would react like that: it was gorgeous!

A castle with white walls and blue roofs on its towers with its doors open.

"That is where I'm leading you too." He added. Then we started riding again.

"Do you live here?"

"Oh no. I'm just here to give these horses to their majesties."

I was about to ask something when we got to the front of the castle. David told me to get off the horse and we started to walk in. We immediately went to the stables.

Suddenly, a young man, around seventeen I think, came to us.

"Good day, your Majesty."

"Ah, Sir David. I see you have brought the horses. Lucy has been looking forward to see her horse. But, who is your friend?"

"King Edmund, this is Jennifer." David introduced.

"Welcome to Cair Paravel Jennifer." He said.

For a moment, I didn't reply. Either my mind was wandering off somewhere or I was staring at the King.

"Jen?" David asked, waving a hand in front of me.

"Oh. Thank you." I replied, doing a curtsy.

"Anyway, I have to go. I need to talk to my brother. I will see you all later." He said smiling, and then he walked away.

I stared after him. David was looking at me with this weird grin on his face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You like him, don't you?" he asked, still grinning.

"No I don't! Whatever gave you that idea?"

"This." He replied, imitating my face when I was staring at the King. What can I do? He was handsome!

"Oh, stop it." I said.

A young woman wearing what looked to me like a red gown suddenly walked to us.

"Oh David! You bought Sasha!" she said, excited.

"Hello Queen Lucy." David said.

She wrapped her arms around David and gave him a hug.

"Thank you so much! I've wanted to ride her for so long already."

"Well, she only needed-"

"Who's this?" she asked. I could tell, she felt all fluttery.

"Hello. I'm Jen." I said, introducing myself.

"I'm Lucy." She said, shaking my hand.

"Nice to meet you." She said.

"Ditto."

"What?"

"Oh, sorry. Nice to meet you too."

"Can you excuse me and David? I need to talk to him for a while." She asked, stroking Sasha's nose.

"Of course." I replied. I sat on a nearby bench and opened my bag. I started looking for my iPod and PSP, to pass the time up a bit. When I stuck my headphones to my ears, I saw David and Lucy staring at me and whispering to each other.

Then they approached me. Lucy asked "Jen, would you like to go around Cair Paravel?"

I took my headphones off, put my gadgets in my bag and replied, "I'd love to. Where is it?"

"Umm...you're here actually. This is Cair Paravel." David replied.

"Oh. Well, let's get on then." I said. They led me into the castle.

"And here, is where you'll be staying." Lucy said, opening a door.

The room was the color of the richest purple you'll ever see. The room smelled of violets, as if it had been filled with them. There was a huge bed, a big closet(I think I have to call it a wardrobe), and a table with this large mirror: when I look at my reflection in that mirror I can see my whole body(well, when I'm a few steps away from it). There was also a big window with padded seats nearby it, so that when you want to look out, you can sit on them.

"Oh, how lovely." Was all I could say.

"We'll leave you for a bit. I'll come back for you." David called, closing the door.

I walked to the window: the scene was beautiful! Even though I knew it would be better if I was looking at the sunset, but the ocean was glittering under the sunlight. I fell in love with it!

I was gazing out the window when I heard a knock on the door. It was Lucy.

"Do you mind if I come in?"

"Oh, come on." I replied, opening the door.

She sat on my bed, looking at me.

"I hope you don't mind my asking, but, why are you wearing a whole outfit in black?"

"Oh. I was at a funeral. I really don't know how I got here."

"Well, let's look for something for you to wear then." She said, standing up. She walked to the wardrobe and opened it, producing a few dresses of different, rich colors. She lay them on the bed.

"Let's see. Hmm...what do you like?"

I looked into the wardrobe. "Aren't there any jeans and blouses here?"

"Umm...what are 'jeans'?"

Okay. Weird. A place where jean don't exist.

"Come on. Take your pick."She said, closing the wardrobe.

I walked over to the bed and looked at each dress. One dress, the color of baby blue, caught my eye.

"Umm...this one." I said, picking it up.

"Try it on."

"Umm...where can I dress up, privately?"

"Over there." She replied, pointing to a screen. I walked up to it and went behind it. I had no difficulty getting it up. The only problem was the ribbon you have to tie up behind it so that it wouldn't fall.

"Can you help me?" I asked, peeping my head out of the screen.

Lucy walked up to the screen and let me face the wall. She started tying up the strings tightly, but not too tight.

"Take a look." She said, letting me walk over to the mirror.

I looked at myself, dumbfounded. The dress suited me! It's as if it was made for me. It didn't make me push my stomach in too.

"It's wonderful." Was all I could say.

Suddenly, there was another knock at the door.
