Chapter Eleven: Fire works And Feelings

Ok! Here is the best scene I've ever written! The fire work scene is absolutely gold!

Now the thing I want everyone to know is that Susan is worried about having to leave, but she decides not to worry about it because she knows that she'll be coming back, but she still feels that she needs to point it out to everyone else because she doesn't want them getting attached to Narnia again, and I'm sorry if I confuse anyone with the Training session, it just explains that Peter and Caspian are still sort of rivals although now it's a bit friendlier.

It also explains that the Pevensie's will one day be Kings and Queens of Narnia again, they just don't know when. (Once and King or Queen of Narnia, always and King or Queen of Narnia) see just trying to keep it true to C.S Lewis.

Enjoy! Read and Review!

Chapter Eleven: Fire works And Feelings

A servant came and whispered in Caspian's ear as he sat at the table enjoying some dessert, that consisted of Chocolate Trifle and wine.

Caspian nodded, showing he had understood, the servant then ran to the conductor who made the announcement.

"I'm sorry to interrupt everyone's festivities but it is now the time for everyone to adjourn to the courtyard" said the Conductor, everyone slowly made they're way out of the grand hall.

Caspian walked through the crowed hoping to find Susan, they hadn't spoken since the dance because Caspian had been swept up in a whirlwind of conversations about politics and war.

Susan walked through the crowed with Lucy, "Has Caspian spoken to you?" asked Lucy, "What do you mean?" asked Susan, "well I though he would of spoken to you after the way you danced together, that was the best conjerto I've ever seen" said Lucy poking Susan in her ribs, "Hey! And no he hasn't, he's a King Lucy, you know after the dances the Men always go and discuss politics" said Susan in a matter of fact tone, Lucy rolled her eyes, "I'm sure he would've much rather of been talking to you" said Lucy, Susan shrugged, "I'm afraid to get close again Lu, I'm afraid the moment I do we'll have to leave again" said Susan in a half whisper as they entered the courtyard, " Aslan said we'd have plenty of time, Why do you worry about that?" asked Lucy, "Because I don't think I could handle it if I was to leave again and never come back" said Susan, "Oh Susan" said Lucy hugging Susan around her waist, "I love him Lu, and because I love him I've got to push him away, but when ever I'm around him I seem to forget" said Susan sadly, "Susan, instead of worrying about what is to come, why don't you enjoy what is happening right now?" said Lucy, Susan stopped, she felt something hit her in the pit of her stomach, she looked up at Lucy and smiled.

Caspian walked through the crowed, the fireworks had started and he was late because of Professor Cornelius trying to explain to him about how fire works were made.

He looked through the crowd, he saw Susan's red dress and made his way over to it, she was alone, as in her siblings were else where, she was surrounded by people, just not them.

Caspian came and stood next to her, she stopped looking at the firework display above her and looked at him, "King Caspian! Thought we'd lost you to the political discussions" said Susan laughing, "No I love fireworks" said Caspian, Susan smiled and looked back up towards the sky as a shower of blue fireworks erupted, "Where are the others?" asked Caspian, "Edmund took Lucy up to the front, and Peter was actually caught up in the political discussions" said Susan, Caspian smiled.

Shower after shower of fireworks poured over the guest in the courtyard, Caspian was edging ever closer to Susan, until he was right behind her.

The lights above made Susan's face shine, Caspian was looking at her more than the fire works, her red lips were shining with her face, her cheeks were slightly pink from the way she was smiling, her eyes mirrored the sparkle of the fire works, Caspian couldn't stop looking at her even if he wanted to.

After a particularly big shower of red and gold embers Susan spoke, she wasn't speaking to anyone in particular, although only Caspian heard her.

"So beautiful" said Susan as she looked up at the sky her face shinning with awe, "Yes you are" whispered Caspian in her ear so only she could hear, Susan looked down from the fire works at Caspian.

Caspian slowly edged closer, her eyes were full of a confused happiness, her red dressed shined under the stars so much that it seemed to move and have a light of its own, Susan's lips were shining red, how Caspian wanted to kiss her, he felt a burning inside him, he was so close to her now, the anticipation was killing him, he leaned down so his lips were level with hers.

Susan felt Caspian getting closer, his face was right in front of hers, she closed her eyes and felt her lips connect with his.

Unlike there first kiss that was filled with sadness this one was filled with love, pure undying love.

Her lips were so soft that Caspian never wanted there kiss to end, Susan hand went towards Caspian shoulder, so she could pull herself closer to deepen there kiss.

Susan had never French kissed a boy before, she didn't really know what she was doing but instinct seemed to take over, her mind was in complete bliss.

Caspian pulled away momentarily, they looked at each other and smiled Caspian put his hand on the side of Susan's head feeling her soft hair and his mouth was soon upon Susan's again, his tongue entering her mouth again, he felt alive, he felt full of strength.

Thunder stared to rumble and soon rain was beginning to fall, Susan broke away from Caspian just as the first drops hit her head, she didn't want to stop kissing him, she wanted to stay in that moment forever, but the crowd was moving so fast beside her, screaming and running for cover.

Susan let her hand stay connected with Caspian's before they were both swept away by the crowd, looking behind at each other as they were both soaked with rain.

Susan lay down on her bed and sighed, not bothering to change out of her wet clothes, she was so happy, the kiss with Caspian was perfect.

Even though she was soaking wet, Susan felt so warm, she felt warm from the inside out.

She relived the entire kiss, over, and over again until she finally fell asleep.

Caspian went into his room and sat in front of his fire, it reminded him about how he had felt when he was near Susan, and how his body had exploded when there lips had locked, the way her body had pressed against his, her hand on his shoulder drawing them closer.

Caspian went and sat on his balcony, to think that a mere week ago he had been remembering a kiss that had happened two years ago, now he was reliving a kissed that had happened two minute ago, there was no sleep to be had by the young King that night, and for the first time in two years, his life was better than his dreams.

"Queen Susan you say?" asked the White Witch as she paced the room, "Yes, you say you wanted to find a weakness, well she's it" said the hooded man in the corner who's face was obscured the shadow the hood was casting "But if she's here, that must mean the Peter, Edmund and Lucy are here as well?" asked The white Witch "Yes, but they're no competition, especially after your Capture of the prisoner" said the man in the hood, with that there came an ear splitting scream, the white witch smiled, "give this to our prisoner" said the White Witch handing a near by goblin a vile filled with black liquid, "How soon can you get a team together?" asked The White Witch, "Right now" said the hooded man, the White Witch smiled, "it will be so nice to see Susan again" said The White Witch walking away.

Susan's yes fluttered open, she sat up slowly, the top of her dress was dry but she noticed a few damp bits on her skirt, there was also a large wet patch on her bed.

Susan went to the window in was morning, for some strange reason Susan didn't want to change out of her dress, some how it made her feel like she had kissed Caspian just a few seconds ago instead of a few hours ago, she continued to look out the window as the sun rose in the sky.

"Susan? Are you up?" asked Lucy as she timidly entered Susan's room, Susan looked over at Lucy who was wearing a light purple dress, "Susan! Your still wearing your dress?" asked Lucy, "um yes, I must have forgotten to change out of it" lied Susan, "well come on lets get you dressed! We've all already had breakfast" said Lucy, "Oh" said Susan blinking, she hadn't realized it was so late, "I asked some one to send up some toast for you" said Lucy going over to Susan's wardrobe and opening it up, Susan then flopped down on her bed, as she did a Servant entered carrying a silver tray holding toast that was spread thickly with strawberry Jam, "Oh thank you" said Susan grabbing a piece of toast as the servant laid the tray on her desk, "Oh Susan! Wear this one!" said Lucy grabbing out a beautiful emerald green dress, Susan looked the dress up and down, it was a simple green dress, except it had ribbon ties at the front that needed to be laced up, and it was a bright emerald green that reminded her of a jewel necklace she had worn one back in the Narnia golden age, "Oh I don't know Lu, I was planning to do some sword and archery training today" said Susan eyeing the dress, "Please? It will look nice, and it will be real easy for you to move in when you have training" said Lucy "Alright" said Susan finishing her toast and slipping the dress on, "Can I do your hair?" asked Lucy "Sure" said Susan and she sat on a chair next to the window, Lucy tied Susan's hair back and plated it, "Come on lets go and have a walk in the garden" said Lucy grabbing Susan's hand.

Caspian sat in the court room with his councilors and listened with no enthusiasm what so ever, "My lord, we must discover where the White Witch is hiding!" said Counselor Valorm, as he twisted he bushy black beard around his finger, "I am just a little vexed as to why, if the white witch was here that she wouldn't ride into battle herself" said Caspian lazily, "My lord, I'm afraid I don't understand you" said Counselor Valorm, "I'm saying that I think if the White Witch was actually in Narnia that she would have rode into battle, but she didn't so I therefore conclude she is not in Narnia" said Caspian plainly, "But my Lord what about the Ice that grows through out the West of Narnia, it is spreading and it is said this is where the White Witch once resided!" said Professor Cornelius, "You have me there Professor" said Caspian thinking, "Exactly! We should send a troop there immediately and crush what ever rebellion is there" said Counselor Valorm, Caspian looked at Counselor Valorm side ways, this man irritated him, like a little bird tapping on his head, he thought he was always right and would always try to convince the council that Caspian was wrong "No! we will send a small troop to investigate" said Caspian, "But who shall lead them?" asked Counselor Valorm glaring at Caspian, "my head of guard Adam, speaking of which where is he?" asked Caspian looking around the chamber, he hadn't seen him since the dancing last night "My Lord why not send one of the Counselors of this Chamber?" asked Counselor Valorm, "Because the Counselors of this Chambers are here to give advice when asked for, that is all" said Caspian looking directly at Counselor Valorm, a few of the other Counselor's chuckled, "This meeting is adjourned" said Caspian standing up and walking out of the chamber.

Although Caspian had only gotten three hours sleep last night he felt completely rested, he walked through the courtyard, he saw Edmund in the stables talking to Phillip, and he saw Peter talking to Trumpkin, as Caspian walked through the courtyard he couldn't see Susan or Lucy anywhere, he walked through the columns that held up the Telmarine castle, the same place where Peter and Susan had been walking with Aslan two years ago.

"Caspian!" called Edmund, Caspian walked over to him and Peter that were standing together at the end of the path way, "we were just about to head over to the training ground? Would you like to join us?" asked Peter "yes!" said Caspian enthusiastically walking down the hall to the training ground, it was just behind the tree that they had left by two years ago, "You just get out of Political Duty?" asked Edmund, "Yes" sighed Caspian, "Hmm one of the things I don't miss about being King of Narnia is the Chamber duty" said Peter, "yes you do, you miss it all" said Edmund grinning as he walked around the tree, Caspian smiled, "I actually have a surprise for you all" said Caspian smiling secretively at his accomplished plan, "Oh tell us!" said Edmund, "I would rather wait for Susan and Lucy to tell you" said Caspian, "Tell us what?" asked a voice, Caspian turned around, Susan was standing behind him holding her bow, and Lucy was standing next to her holding a flower ring in her hand that she was fiddling with, Caspian stared at Susan she was wearing a emerald green dress that made her eyes shine brilliantly, her hair being tied back gave her a warrior look, Caspian smiled at her, she blushed and smiled back shyly "Well I've been planning this ever since you left but ah, it started today" said Caspian "What did?" asked Lucy impatiently "The re-building of Cair Paravel" said Caspian smiling, "Oh My Goodness" said Lucy, "That's Fantastic" said Edmund, "How long will it take them to rebuild?" asked Peter, "Well the materials were already there, but I suspect a year" said Caspian, "Really?" asked Susan, "Yes, a lot of Narnian's volunteered to work on it" said Caspian, "Oh that's wonderful! I hope they build it exactly like it was" said Lucy, Susan smiled as they walked over to the training yards, Caspian walked behind her and grabbed her hand, un-noticed by anyone but the two, Susan smiled, Caspian needed to touch her, he needed to know that last night wasn't a dream, and by the way Susan squeezed his hand, he knew that it wasn't "Queen Susan, I believe you requested an opponent" said a tall Telmarine solider, "Yes, where is Reepachip?" asked Susan as she pulled her hand away from Caspian's, "he and his mice are currently occupied, he asked me to duel you in his stead" said the Solider, "Alright" said Susan placing her bow on the ground, "Dual Susan? With what? Susan doesn't have a sword" said Edmund, as he said this Susan pulled the two swords out of there holder that was sitting on her back, she then spun them around, Lucy smiled "Sword's" said Lucy cheekily, "I have an idea, why don't we have a combined training session, I mean we all came down here to do some training" said Peter looking about the group, "Oh that would be fun, remember when we used to have them back at Cair Paravel with the Narnian's?" asked Edmund excitedly "Yes, I remember Susan always losing" said Peter grinning, Susan hit him playfully on the shoulder, "Caspian why don't you join us?" asked Edmund, "Alright" said Caspian looking at Susan, the four walked out onto a practice area while Lucy sat down in the grass to watch, "ready?" asked Peter who had pared up with the Telmarine solider, Caspian had pared up with another, and Susan had paired up with Edmund, "Go!" called Lucy.

Susan quickly ducked to avoid a blow from Edmund she then began blocking with her swords, she then blocked a blow that was very close to her face, "Careful" said Edmund confidently "Yeah, Careful I don't make you cry when I win!" laughed Susan kicking away Edmunds axe and swinging her swords.

The two Telmarine soldier's were easily out stripped by Caspian and Peter, who soon moved on to dual each other.

Susan knocked Edmund to the ground and held her sword to his throat, "dead" she said, Edmund smiled as Susan helped him up, "What do you know, after fifteen years you can improve on something" said Edmund, Susan smiled then looked over and Peter and Caspian who were engaged in a fierce dual.

Peter sent his sword crashing down, he had never fought like this in a practice battle, but his over riding sense to win was over coming his sense of fair play, he wanted to win so much, it was like a hunger that was consuming him and he had no idea why.

Caspian blocked a blow, he didn't usually fight an opponent this hard in practice with out amour on, but in any case maybe this was how King Peter practiced all the time, and if this was true he would need to up his game, for he didn't want to loose either.

"I thought this was suppose to be practice" said Susan, "I think there's more to this than meets the eye" said Edmund watching the fight, Susan shook her head and sighed she then motioned for Lucy to bring over her sword case, "Didn't you win? Doesn't that mean you fight them now?" asked Lucy handing Susan her sword case, "Does it look like that fight is going to be over any time soon?" asked Susan, Lucy looked over at them, "Excuse me could you please bring our horses over?" asked Susan to a passing Solider, "yes my Lady" said the solider bowing to Susan then running off "What's wrong with Peter?" asked Edmund confused, "Isn't it obvious?" asked Lucy looking back to Susan and Edmund, "Peter doesn't feel like a King anymore, he wants to be ruling again" said Lucy, "Don't we all" said Edmund sitting down in the grass, "Yes, but it's not our time, we've had our rein, now it's Caspian's turn" said Susan sitting down in the grass, "I agree, but I do miss it" said Lucy "I think Caspian makes a great King of Telmar, but I think we're Narnian's, and maybe we should still be ruling Narnia" said Edmund, they heard Peter grunt, "Caspian is doing a good job of ruling both though" said Susan, "yes, but is that necessarily going to be good in the long run?" asked Lucy, Caspian was thrown to the ground but the siblings barley looked up "Lucy, we were good Kings and Queen's in our time, and I'm sure if we were to live here again we would be again, but our time here is numbered, you know that" said Susan looking down at Lucy, Peter was thrown to the ground going again un noticed by Edmund, Lucy and Susan "maybe it will be like last time, maybe we can stay here for fifteen years again, go back to live at Cair Paravel and rule beside Caspian, him ruler of Telmar, us Rulers of Narnia" said Edmund in a dreamy voice, Caspian grunted, "Maybe, but eventually we'd have to go back" said Susan, "I think we should ask Aslan about it" said Lucy, "Next time we see him perhaps?" asked Susan standing up as she saw Shadowfare and Prancer being brought over, "I hope that will be soon, I miss him" said Lucy, Edmund smiled as he stood up, they looked back over to the fight.

Caspian turned around and pressed his sword to Peter's neck, as he did he also felt Peter's sword on his throat, "Draw!" called a Telmarine soldier that had been scoring, Peter and Caspian removed there swords from each others throats, "Well done King Peter" said Caspian extending his hand to Peter panting, "Same to you" said Peter panting and shaking Caspian's hand, "Boys! Lucy and I have some Business to attend to, we'll see you before dinner, and perhaps we can all go for a ride?" asked Susan grabbing Shadowfare's as Peter and Caspian came towards them, "Alright we'll see you before dinner in the stables" said Peter wiping sweat from his brow.

Caspian walked over to Susan who was about to mount Shadowfare, he grabbed her foot just as she jumped and pushed her up onto her horse, "Thank you" she said smiling down at him, "Your welcome" said Caspian smiling up at her, there gazes locking, "Come on Susan, we're going to be late!" called Lucy who was already half way across the field, Caspian stepped away from Shadowfare and Susan smiled at him and mouthed the words, "later" at him before she spurred Shadowfare and was riding away.
