Meanwhile, in London, Susan sat quietly under a tree watching Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and other kids from school play a game of baseball. Ever since they had left Narnia, she could not stop thinking of him. Or their first and last kiss. 'Why was I so stupid?' she thought to herself. Now she dreamed of him every night and thought of him every day. As she tried to get the memory out of her head, she heard Lucy calling her name. As she looked up, she saw a group of kids gathered around Peter and another boy, Jonathon. Or the boy who always pushed Peter around.
"Not again!" Susan said out loud. She jumped up and ran over to where Lucy was standing. "What happened this time?" she asked quickly.
"Jonathon hit Peter on the back with a bat and then said he didn't," said Lucy.
"Come on. Let's go stop them," said Susan. They reached the fight just as Edmund pulled Peter away from Jonathon.
"Will you two stop it?" said Susan as they finally reached the group.
"Oh no. Peter needs his sister to fight for him," said Jonathon.
"It's fine, Su," said Peter quietly.
"Yeah, Su. It's perfectly fine. Peter wants to get beat up," said Jonathon, mockingly.
"Oh shut up," said Susan. "Come on you guys. Let's go." As they turned to leave, Jonathon grabbed Susan's arm.
"What did you say to me?"
"You heard me. Just stoop it okay? I hate it when Peter, or anybody else for that matter, fights."
"Yeah, but it's okay when you do," Peter grunted. Susan then shot him a look that made him be quiet.
"Now, Jonathon, let me go," said Susan, trying to gradually pull her arm away.
"No," he said, pulling her arm closer. I'll let you go if," he paused to think for a second. "I'll let you go if you give me a kiss."
Peter and Edmund, seeing Susan's stunned face, immediately jumped to her defense.
"Don't do it, Su," said Edmund. "He's just trying to make Peter mad by having you kiss him."
"Su, you don't have to do this," Peter said. "We all know what happened last time you kissed a boy."
"Yeah you got your heart broken because you had to leave him," said Edmund. Susan smiled, closing her eyes, remembering her and Caspian's kiss.
"Well what are you going to do?" asked Jonathon.
"I'll do it," said Susan.
"No Susan. Don't!" yelled Peter and Edmund.
"All right," said Jonathon, leaning in to kiss her.
"Not so fast though," said Susan, quickly taking a step back since Jonathon had let go of her arm.
"What?"
"You didn't say I had to kiss you right here right now which means I don't have to kiss you right at this moment."
Jonathon thought for a second. "I guess you are right," he said. Okay then. Until next time," he said, walking away from the group.
Susan turned and walked away, still shaking from the fact that she had just agreed to kiss Jonathon. Little did she know that the person she actually loved had been standing there. Watching the whole time.
