Peter rolled over and gave a groan in his sleep…
Five-year-old Peter Pevensie sat outside playing with his train set as his mother watered the garden. Paying no attention to the car that now pulled up next door, he continued to play. What seemed like hours of fun imagination for the boy turned into only minutes..
-"Peter darling, can you come here please?" his mother called him. Peter Pevensie was always raised well so he obeyed. Walking over, Peter saw a man who was holding a girl… Mrs. Pevensie took Peter's hand to introduce the new family.
-"Peter, this is Mr. Watson, and his daughter Veronica. They're friends with daddy." She said picking up the boy. All he did was look at the girl who had a purple ribbon on her hair.
-"Daddy's friends with a girl!" he said scrunching his face with disgust, "Yuck! Daddy's only friends with boys." The girl only rolled her eyes,
-"Thanks again Helen," Robert Watson said putting young Veronica down on the ground as did Helen Pevensie… Peter quickly left the conversation and went back to his train set. Veronica followed…
-"What you doing?" she asked sitting opposite from Peter. He only shook his head,
-"I'm playing with a train set…boys play with trains." He said, but she only giggled,
-"Your funny, not all boys play with trains!" she said giggling,
-"They do too!" he retorted throwing his train down. She only shook her head,
-"Nuh-uh, some boys play with cars, airplanes-"
-"Trains!" Peter said angrily…
The dream changed…
Twelve- year old Peter walked down the street with his hands in his pocket. The Clouds rumbled with a threat of rain and the leaves rattled as they rolled across the sidewalk…
-Ugh." Peter said letting out a groan of frustration. This was his most terrible day. At school, he was a smart boy, so this meant bullies. This day however, the kids bullied him saying he was a spy for the Nazis, since the year was 1939, the beginning of World War II. Unfortunately, Peter had blonde hair and blue eyes…
Deep in thought, he failed to notice Claire running up behind him.
-"Peter! Hold up!" she yelled from behind. He quickly turned around and gave a smile (if Possible).
-"Hey Veronica, how was school?" he asked as she caught up to him. The two began to walk. She nodded,
-"It was all right, you know bumps here and there. And you?" she asked looking up at him. He only looked straight ahead,
-"Bad?" she asked placing her hand on his shoulder, he only nodded. She bit her lip, "Well, I'm sure it was nothing that drastic." She said in a joking tone, hoping this would cheer him up. He continued to look straight. She looked straight as well, "Well, What happened?" she said stopping to sit on a park bench.
-"They…called me a Nazi." He said sitting down. Veronica's heart sank,-
-"Oh, Pete, that's not true," she said placing her hand on his back to comfort him. "Your not the Nazi, they are for acting like the way they act." She said hoping to cheer him up.
-"It's been going on since I was eleven, when rumors of the Nazis started forming." He breathed watching a leaf tumble by.
-"Peter, that long? Why didn't you tell somebody or even me?" she said looking at him, he did the same to her,
-"Because I was afraid you'd think the same also." He mumbled, she only shook her head and grabbed his hands.
-"I would never! You, Peter Pevensie, are the most magnificent person I've ever known!" she said causing him to give a small smile. Too bad, the moment was ruined…
-"Hey, boys it's the Nazi boy and his future wife!" Bradley the bully said pointing to Peter and Veronica. The other two boys were Tom and Luis, and of course, laughed at the 'joke'.
-"Why don't you bug of Bradshaw?" Veronica spat back, secretly though she squeezed Peter's hand for comfort.
-"Aww, hey Nazi, are the women going to fight your wars." Bradley asked with amusement. Peter on the other hand let his head fall. Veronica gaped at him before regaining herself.
-"Why don't you leave us alone!" she asked getting off her seat. Bradley only smiled,
-"Why? Pevensie's going to make out with you?" he said gaining more laughs from the boys.
Veronica only laughed as well, before picking up a trash can lid and swinging it across Bradley's face causing him to go crashing backwards. Immediately the boys stopped laughing, and Peter looked up with a smile. Bradley however, quickly regained himself and without a warning threw himself at Veronica, ramming her into a tree. She quickly let out a cry of pain, which woke Peter from his 'trance'. He quickly stood up and threw himself into Bradley knocking him to the ground. The two boys would have jumped in if it were not for the sirens that went off. Peter released Bradley as Bradley did the same. The three boys quickly ran across the street and around the corner.
-"Peter! Come on!" Veronica said picking him up as the two ran as fast as they could. Peter would look up every thirty seconds to see if he could spot a German Aircraft. After his tenth look, he finally did.
-"Run!" he shouted picking up speed, and grabbing her arm. Veronica gave a scream when the sound of an explosion could be heard.
"Thank Goodness it was just him that went to school."
As soon as they got to the Pevensie's house, Robert came and pulled his daughter. Peter, feeling a tug turned around and pulled harder.
-"Peter, lad, your mother needs you. Your father's gone off already, I need to go, and I'm afraid Veronica has to come with me." He said pulling a little stronger. Peter only shook his head,
-"No, She can stay here! Mother would take good care of her!"
-"Peter," Veronica spoke gently, "It'll be all right, just remember what I told you! Don't let what they say change you!" but before he could say anything she broke free from his grasp, just as a bomb landed nearby, erupting screams from inside the house and Veronica…

-"Veronica!" Peter shouted waking up. He quickly wiped the sweat from his face and took off into the cool air. He did not have to go far to find her sleeping on bench filled with fabric. He gave a smile as he saw her sleeping peacefully. He crouched next her and began stroking her cheek, she stirred before asking,
-"Mmm, What time is it?" she asked sleepily looking up at his magnificent face. He only gave her a smile,
-"It's not even dawn yet." He said stroking her cheek once again. The fire nearby crackled as the last remains of life in it died out.
-"What's wrong?" she asked closing her eyes. He gave a soft chuckle,
-"Nothing, I'm fine." She only smiled shaking her head,
-"You had a nightmare, didn't you?" she said opening her eyes. He only nodded. Her expression turned serious.
-"About?"
He looked up at the stars.
-"You, the first time we met." He said looking back at her.
-"Well, yes, that was a nightmare." She said jokingly. He gave a soft chuckle,
-"You know what went through my mind when I saw you?" he asked rubbing her palm. She shook her head, he went slightly pink,
-"You were a beautiful girl." He said sheepishly, she only laughed,
-"Really? Well, then let me be honest. Remember when I arrived at your house after my father left?"
He nodded smiling, "Yeah,"
-"Well, remember when my knee gave in? It wasn't because of my injury, it was because of you." She said blushing. He moved his hands to her hair,
-"Remember when I hit Timmy (Lived across the street)?" he said covering up her shoulders with a blanket.
-"Yes," she breathed trying to fight sleep. He gave a chuckle before continuing,
-"I got really jealous when I saw him pushing you on the swings." He said going even more red.
She quickly opened her eyes, and laughed,
-"Oh, we were pretty wild then when we were young, weren't we?" she said sitting up. He only grinned,
-"Well you were, I was tame." He said pushing out his chest. She only pinched his shoulder,
-"Oh whatever! I wasn't the one hitting every boy I saw for playing with my friends." He only shrugged,
-"I wanted to make sure you where safe and protected." He said rubbing his hands together. "Ugh, its getting cold!" he said causing her to smile. "What?"
In a matter of seconds, the fire reappeared giving off a welcoming heat. "Thanks" he said kissing her knuckles "Your majesty." He said mocking her.
-"What a shame really, a soon to be King can't make fire…" she said shaking her head, he only gave a nod,
-"I'm taking that as a compliment." She gave a laugh before brushing some hair out of her eyes,
-"Oh, Pete, you still got your cowlick!" she squealed with happiness. He only placed his hands on top of his hair..
-"Don't remind me!" he said groaning, she only laughed and removed his arms,
-"Why? You look very cute with it." She said playing with his hair. He only blushed,
-"Well, I guess I can pull it off, but you should see Ed!" he said laughing, "Wow, he get's it bad!"
She gave a squeal before covering her mouth,
-"I'm sorry, I forgot its night, are you still cold?" she asked looking down on him,
-"Just a little," he said pushing back his bangs. Before he knew it, he felt her arms go under his armpits as she hoisted him onto her 'bed'. He only laughed as she made the attempt.
-"Well you need to work out." He said as he saw her panting,
-"You could have helped." She said smiling. She laid back down pulling him down with her. He quickly grabbed the blankets and pulled them over them.
-"Look at the stars Pete, There's the Narnian North star, much brighter than ours." She said pointing to every constellation she could find. He gladly enjoyed the Astronomy lesson as he wrapped her around him, locking her in with his legs…
"Should I kiss her? They say its romantic to kiss under the stars, but that's in movies."
Taking a chance he moved in, but right before he could make contact, she pointed at four stars.
-" You see that star? That star I'm planning on naming "Lucy" if Aslan bids it." She said giving a small laugh,
-"Really? Why?" he asked looking at it with admiration, she only grabbed his arm.
-"Because every Narnian looks at the stars, I plan to put history in there. I've already mapped out each star to hold your names." He quickly looked down at her,
-"Mine also?" he asked with surprise, but all she did was nod,
-"Of course, The Kings and Queens of Narnia, Rulers of the Golden Age" she said with pride.
-"And you?" he asked kissing the top of her head. She only sighed,
-"I plan on renouncing my title…" she said looking at the fire. Her eyes watering with sadness and the heat.
-"What? Why?" he said grabbing her tighter as if she was going to leave. She only rolled over looking up at his face before kissing him on his chin.
-"I plan to give you all authority, as High King." She whispered before giving him another kiss, this time he lowered his head at the last moment, causing her lips to meet his which surprised Claire, but she never faltered. Breaking away, she asked,
-"Peter, lay on top of me." She asked with a serious tone. He only looked shocked,
-"What?" he said not knowing if this was a trick question, she only remained still,
-"Lay on top of me, please, you said you wanted to protect me, well now you can." She said tears forming in her eyes. He saw her tears and did as he was told. He lifted himself over her, and finally let their bodies come in contact. He gave a blush at thought of how they looked, but quickly removed it.
-"Claire, are you all right?" he asked lifting his head up, she had more tears, but nodded,
-"I'll be fine." She breathed, "You should sleep, trust me, and Edmund will be here in the morning." She said bringing some comfort to him.
Finally giving in, he rested his head on her chest, and fell asleep with the rhythm of her heart. Claire rested her head on the pillows as she gently ran her hands through Peter's hair. The feeling of Peter's body rising up and down in sleep brought her much comfort. She looked down and saw him in deep sleep, with much comfort in his face. She kissed his soft golden hair before letting sleep come to her,
"This will be our last time together, Pete, and the next time were like this I will be dead, and your heart will be broken." Claire spoke without thinking…
