The End of the Adventure

French horns blared as the four Pevensies strode down the red carpet in the castle of Cair Paravel.

Peter and Edmund were wearing stiff, black tuxedoes and Lucy and Susan were wearing puffy, crimson ball gowns.

Mr. Tumnus was wearing a deep blue vest and before him was a great vault. Mr. Tumnus was holding a small golden key. He unlocked the vault and inside rested two, diamond tiaras and two, large golden crows studded with jewels.

The four children stood before the court and Mr. Tumus started to crown them.

"Queen Lucy the Brave." Aslan announced in his deep, warm voice.

"King Edmund the Wise."

"Queen Susan the Radiant."

"King Peter the Glorious."

Then the Pevensies sat in their royal thrones that were made of granite.

Later there was a grand party thrown in honor of the new rulers. There was a live comedy show, ballroom dancing, and many filling foods.

Lucy went out to the marble balcony and saw Aslan walking on the sandy beach.

"He's leaving." Lucy whispered.

"Don't worry. We will see him again." Mr. Tumus' voice interrupted her thoughts.

"When?" she asked him.

"I don't know." Mr. Tumnus replied. "All I know is that he will be back."

Tears started running down Lucy's cheeks and Mr. Tumnus pulled out the Kleenex box.

"Here. You need it more than I do." Mr. Tumnus handed her the box.

"Thanks." Lucy said pulling out a white tissue.

The engines roared as the royalties sped into the forest.

"Where did the White Stage go?" Peter shouted over the engine of his dark blue ATV.

"Into that bush I think." Susan yelled turning off her pink ATV.

Lucy pulled up beside her on her purple ATV and took off her helmet and goggles. "Are we taking a break?"

"No." Peter grinned. "Just waiting for Edmund."

Edmund bounced around the corner on his black ATV and said. "That last corner and hill was tough."

"You think so?" Susan laughed.

They turned off their vehicles and sat in the quiet forest for a moment.

"What's that?" Edmund asked.

"It's….I don't remember the name of it…" Peter answered.

"Streetlamp!" Lucy exclaimed. "Dressing Oom! Department City!" Then she rushed off into the wood.

"Lucy!" Susan cried.

"Come on!" She called back over her shoulder.

The three rushed off after her and soon they were stumbling over hangers that trailed out of the dressing room.

"These aren't trees…" Edmund said.

"There clothes." Peter finished.

There was a bunch of 'ows!' and 'stop shovings!' as they tumbled around into the dressing room. Then they all tripped over the carpet and hit the dressing room door. With a bang it swung open and standing there was Manager Digory of the department store.

"What's this?" he demanded raising an eyebrow. "What were you all doing in the dressing room?"

"Uh…you wouldn't believe us." Peter stuttered.

Then the manager pulled out impact wrench from the ATV's kit, then, with a sly smile he said. "Try me."
