Chapter 33

Sophie

Six months later…

I ran through the doors and up the two flights of stairs. I just had to go ahead and had a duel awhile ago with Edmund just as a promise for Peter and he was thrilled that he got to see it. I did win though I do have a feeling Edmund let me. I had to jump in the tub before I got ready to go meet with the girls.

Why don't I catch you up on what's been going on.

Today is Susan and Caspian's wedding day. A month ago, I'd turned seventeen with a small party which consists the six of us. I'd gotten a new armor set from Caspian, a new sword sheath from Lucy, some daggers from Peter, even some bow and arrows from Susan which she promised to teach me how to use them, and Edmund gave me a beautiful necklace that was a silver heart shaped pendant which I wore all the time.

Not only that, but Peter have been courting a girl named Selene who came from a noble family in Archenland for almost three months. They met at a ball we attending awhile back and they continue to be in contact until he asked for her to court her. Lucy has been in contact with a guy named Thomas who was also from Archenland but he was the guard's son at their palace who was a guard in training.

Edmund and I have gotten closer than before. We would sleep in each other rooms from time to time but I love him and he loves me and I would know for a fact that we would do anything for each other. Though the past few days, he seemed to act nervous when we're around. It's like he was hiding something but I didn't know what it was.

I quickly washed the sweat off of me as I was washing my hair. I didn't want to face the wrath of Lily if I wasn't washed and ready for my hair to be ready. I dried up and threw on a robe as I was drying my hair.

"Thank goodness, I would've thought you wouldn't be bathed," she said.

"Oh how doubtful you think of me," I mumbled.

She sat me down by the vanity as I put on some light makeup. Ever since I've been living here, I did manage to put some of my 21st century things away but I still use my bag for traveling of course. My clothes were packed away in the closet.

By the time I was done with my makeup, so was my hair. My hair was curled and it was let down in a half ponytail style with my bangs brushed to the side. My dress was a light purple and white one along with light purple flats. I put my dress and shoes on as I made my way towards Susan's room.

"Hi guys," I said entering as soon as I knocked.

"Oh Sophie thank goodness," Susan said. From the looks of it, she was two seconds away from crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

I saw that Susan was almost done with her hair as Lucy was dressed in a dark blue and white dress and her hair was down and slightly curled. Both of their crowns were settled on their heads.

"I don't think I don't want to do this," she said.

"What? Why?" Lucy and I asked in shock.

"I don't know, I'm scared that Caspian won't want to marry me or he won't show up. I don't know, I'm just nervous," she replied.

"Su, do you love Caspian?" Lucy asked.

"Of course I do," she replied.

"Then you wouldn't be here, getting ready for the most important day of your life," I said. "Besides, I can tell by the way he looks at you that you guys are when you're around one another."

"You're right. I'm sorry it's just the nerves are getting to me," Susan said.

"Those nerves are perfectly normal," I said.

"So when are you and Edmund plan on getting married?" Lucy asked. That question threw me off guard completely.

"I don't know about that, I mean he's been acting weird the past few days," I replied. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Lucy and Susan gave each other knowing looks.

I wonder what that was about.

Awhile later, Susan's hair was set in place, her dress was on and we were putting the final touches when Peter walked in. He was wearing his gold crown, a dark red tunic with beige pants and black boots. He was planning on walking Susan down the aisle while Edmund would be Caspian's best man and Lucy and I would be her bridesmaids.

We decided to leave Peter and Susan alone and they would be down in a minute. I'm guessing they would want their sibling bonding time before the wedding. I'll admit; it did pain me a little because if I got married, then Jason and I would bond or something before one of us got married.

I saw Edmund standing outside the doors that led to the throne room where the ceremony was going to be held while the dining hall is the reception area. He looked up and saw us coming towards him. Edmund was wearing his silver crown, a dark green tunic with black pants and black boots. His hair was neatly combed like Peter's which was surprising to me.

"Lucy, Sophie," he said, kissing me on the lips.

"Ed, you cleaned up," I said.

"You girls both look amazing," he said. He linked arms with me as he guided me down the aisle while Trumpkin was escorting Lucy down the aisle. When we got to our spots, Edmund just kissed me on the cheek before he went to his spot.

Yep, something was definitely up.

As everyone was sitting down, I looked over and saw Caspian coming through the doors with Aslan who'll be presiding over the ceremony. He was wearing his crown, a green and white tunic shirt with dark brown pants and brown riding boots.

I also saw Selene and Thomas entering the hall. She was wearing a dark green and white dress and her hair was up in a fancy bun while Thomas was wearing a white shirt with a black tunic and black pants with riding boots as well.

The music started and everyone turned their heads to see the little fauns and centaurs walking down the aisle. I couldn't help but smile at the scene. When I saw Peter and Susan at the end of the aisle, I saw out of the corner of my eye I can see Caspian beaming at Susan. Her dress was floating around her since it was a long sleeved dress with lace on the top and it was a little off the shoulders but it was elegant. Her flowers were mixed with whites roses and lilies mixed in together.

As soon as Peter handed Susan off to Caspian, he took his spot next to Edmund and the ceremony soon began.

Later on that night, the reception was still in full swing. Everyone was eating, talking, dancing or whatever they were doing. I had a few dances with Caspian and Peter but I mostly stayed by Edmund's side. I noticed that whenever I was with him, I would either see that Caspian and Peter would look over our way with secret glances they were giving one another.

What the hell is going on? Do they know something that I don't?

It was the end of the reception when I was helping clean up with the others. I was on the last table as I was placing some dishes in a bin for the kitchen staff when I felt arms wrapping around my waist and a soft kiss on the base of my neck.

"Want to step outside for air?" Edmund whispered in my ear.

"Yeah I don't mind," I replied.

He grabbed my hand and let me outside from the hall. We walked towards the gardens and then we somehow landed up by the fountain. We sat down on the ledge of the fountain as he brought me close to his side.

"The ceremony was beautiful," I said.

"It certainly was," he said.

"I got to admit, Susan really did pull it off. I was worried for a second with her planning that one ball and then my birthday, but the wedding was beautiful," I said.

"Yep it was," he said too softly.

"Are you okay? You're acting a little strange," I asked.

He sighed as he grabbed both my hands into his. He took a deep breath as he brushed his fingers along my cheek. Now I was getting nervous.

"Sophie, when I first met you; I'll admit I didn't know what you were doing here or why you were here. But as time went on, I found myself getting to know you and being your friend. We became close and then when we shared that kiss, I knew that I wanted you to be by my side. With everything that happened with you, I vowed that day that I'll always be with you no matter what. I love you so much," he said.

"T-That's so sweet I love you too but where is this all coming from?" I asked.

"I'd asked Susan and Caspian if it was alright if I do this after their wedding and when the reception is over and I know that you think this is too soon but I couldn't wait any longer," he replied.

"Um, okay," I said, staring at him warily.

He smiled as he got up but what took me by surprised was he got down on one knee and pulled something out of his pocket. My hands flew to my mouth as I watched this unfold.

"Sophie Johnson the Courage, will you marry me and be my wife?" he asked.

I couldn't believe what was happening. He was literally on his knee, proposing to me. The ring had a silver band with a big diamond in the middle and two dark purple small diamonds on the side. I looked up at him and I could see the love and hopefulness in his eyes as my eyes had tears in them.

"Of course I'll marry you," I croaked out.

I lunged at him and hugged him tight. He held on to me but managed to slip the ring on my finger. I stared at the ring in complete awe. Here I am, sitting on the ground with Edmund, engaged.

"This is too freaky," I said.

"What do you mean?" he asked, a bit warily.

I smiled at him, since he had no idea how my lingo worked. "I meant this is freaky in a good way. I can't believe we're getting married," I replied.

He relaxed while I shook my head and rolled my eyes playfully. Suddenly, something just came to my head.

"Wait, do the other know? Did Susan and Caspian know you were going to do something like this on the night of their wedding? Cause if they didn't, I would feel so bad about what happened and…" I asked.

"Love, relax," he said. "Yes the others knew and Susan gave me the okay to do it after the reception was over."

I calmed down a bit after he told me. "No wonder everyone was acting weird," I said.

"And yet you seemed so calm about everything today," he said. "I'm surprised you didn't notice anything."

"I did too." I protested. "I couldn't help it your siblings and Caspian were looking at me weird and you especially was acting nervous around me. I wasn't sure if I messed up or worse."

"It wasn't that trust me," he said.

"I'm glad. I can't believe we're engaged," I said, happily.

"Me too," he said, brushing some of my hair out of my face.

"Can we keep this on the d-low for awhile? I just want it to be us for awhile," I suggested.

"Sure but what does d-low even mean?" he asked.

"The down low. Honestly, Ed, I thought I taught you better than that," I replied.

"Well, you would have to teach me again," he said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"You're such a dork, but I love you," I said.

"I love you too, Sophie. Forever and ever," he said as we kissed underneath the stars and moonlight.

A/n: *Tumbleweed flows by* Um, hi. I know, I should've updated a long time ago but school and work are driving me insane. Not to mention, I go out every week as well. Also this chapter was so difficult to write that I wasn't sure whether or not to include the proposal but in the end, I was just like what the heck?

Epilouge will be posted soon and this story will be over. I might do a sequel or a spinoff to this with Edmund's POV in this. I'm not sure yet. We'll see what happens. My other stories will be posted soon. I do have off from school this coming Monday so we'll see what happens.

Leave a review! They make me happy and I thank you guys for reviewing and what not. I'll save that for the end of this story.

Until then,
Spike
