"It's all in ruins," said Lucy sadly.

Alyssa was about to explain why when Mallory clamped a hand over her mouth and Darby whispered, "Let them figure it out on their own."

"We must have lived here!" cried Edmund. He held up a gold figure. "This is from my chess set!"

"Which chess set?" asked Susan.

"Well, he didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set back in Finchley, did he?" said Alyssa, sniggering.

Susan looked like she wanted to slap her.

"Hey, everyone! Over here!" Everybody ran to Peter, who had pushed open a standing door that led to a chamber beneath the ruins. He proceeded to tear of a tiny strip of his shirt (Darby blushed), wrapped it around a stick, and asked Edmund, "You wouldn't happen to have any matches?"

"A lighter would be easier to carry around," said Maddie.

"What's a lighter?" asked Peter.
"Never mind," said Maddie.

"Hmm…" Edmund rummaged through his knapsack and pulled out a flashlight. "Would this do?"

Maddie held back giggles as Peter blushed slightly, his eyes continually darting to Darby. "You might have mentioned that a bit sooner, Ed," he said with his teeth clenched.

"Ohhh, so you could impress the girl over there, am I right? Forgive me." Everyone but Peter was either smirking or giggling. Darby had turned absolutely red in the face.

"Her name is Darby!" yelled Peter. "And what about you, trying to seem like some smart aleck for her!" He pointed at Maddie, whose facial color soon matched Darby's.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" cried Mallory. "We all have names, you know."

"Well, you never told us all," said Lucy. "Please, go on."

"I'm Alyssa."

"Maddie."

"Darby."

"Mallory."

"There, now we're properly introduced," said Susan. "Thank you, Lu. Now, let's go see what's below here."

Alyssa and Mallory made way to follow the Pevensies, but Maddie and Darby held them back. "This is for them," said Maddie. "Not us."

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" came a sudden voice. There was a lot of crashed and yelling before a young man came bursting out of the doorway. "First I'm sucked into a dark room, now this?" he muttered, running a hand through his hair.

The four girls stared at him in shock. "Is it…" began Maddie.

"It couldn't be…" said Darby.

"But it is!" cried Alyssa.
"LOGAN LERMAN!" screamed Mallory so loud that every tree probably could have awakened right then and there. She barreled toward him and flung her arms around his torso. The force knocked the two of them down so Mallory was lying on top of him. "Hi there," she said breathlessly. "I'm Mallory."

"Um…" he said, looking absolutely terrified.

"I'm your biggest fan. I love you so much!" Mallory did not let go, even when Logan begged to get to his feet.
"Now wait a minute," said Maddie. She walked over to where Mallory was keeping Logan hostage on the ground. "This doesn't make any sense at all. How can he be here too?"

"I don't know," said Logan, "but I would greatly appreciate it if your friend Mallory would GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!"

Mallory beamed. "Eeeep! He knows my name!" She got up and helped him stand as well, taking in his outfit. "Whoa."

Whoa was right. Not only was he hot like Peter and Edmund, but he was decked out in his Percy Jackson armor, complete with his shield lying where he was pinned down not a moment ago. As Mallory scanned his apparel, her eyes widened. She reached for his waist and swiped something. Logan yelped.

"It's Riptide!" she exclaimed excitedly.

Just then the Pevensies raced up the stairs, decked out in their old Narnian clothes. "Riptide?" asked Edmund. He grabbed the pen from Mallory's hand. "This is a pen…this is a pen."

"That's my line!" protested Logan. "And give me that!" He snatched Riptide away from Edmund. "It's just a prop."

"Hmm…maybe not," said Darby. "Try clicking it."

Logan rolled his eyes. "Please. Like it would even work."

"Do it! Please," said Mallory, giving him the puppy dog face. He hesitated, agreed, and then clicked it.

It transformed into a sword.

"Whoa," said Lucy.

Whoa indeed.

When it turned back into a pen, Logan put it back on the belt at his waist. "Well, uh, I guess it is real."

"No shit, Sherlock," said Alyssa.

Lucy's mouth flew open. "Bad word!"

"Really, Alyssa, you should wash your mouth out with soap," said Susan.

"Why don't you just go fall into the river," said Alyssa coldly.

"Like that would ever happen," said Susan pompously, sticking hr nose in the air. "Come on now, we should go. Thank you for your hospitality." She began to walk away, but Peter grabbed her arm. "What, Peter?" she asked. "Surely they've helped us enough."

"Look, they seem to know what they're doing," said Peter. "Let them come along…the other boy too, I guess."

"I have a name," said Logan crossly.

"Don't we all," said Maddie.

"Shut it!"

"Hey, if we're going to date each other, Logan, you have to treat my friends with respect," scolded Mallory.

Logan looked like he was going to elaborate, but Edmund slapped a hand over his mouth. "Anyone who tells Maddie to shut up should shut up themselves," he said. Maddie tried not to smile.

"Um…" said Darby awkwardly, "could you all put your drama behind you and solve the real problem at hand?"

"Real problem?" asked Peter.

"Yes," said Darby. "We don't have any Narnian clothes or weapons."

"That can be solved," said Lucy. "I'm sure Susan and I have extras. Come on." Together they led Alyssa, Maddie, Mallory and Darby down into the chamber that held their former belongings. Alyssa and Maddie followed Lucy, while Mallory and Darby followed Susan.

Lucy gave two dresses to Maddie and Alyssa, who quickly changed into them. Lucy handed Maddie a small dagger. "It's my spare." She looked apologetically at Alyssa. "I don't have another. Sorry."

"No worries," said Alyssa. She eyes Peter and Edmund's trunks. "I don't suppose they have any extra swords."

"Go on and have a look. I'm not at all sure. If not, we can try to find or make you one along the way."

Alyssa didn't respond, for she was busy rummaging through the trunks. When she came up empty-handed, she said, "That's okay. I can wait for a sword. Besides, I have awesome kung fu skills."

"Since when?" asked Maddie with a smirk.

"Since now," said Alyssa. Maddie laughed.

Meanwhile, Susan had also given Mallory and Darby two dresses to throw on. She handed Mallory her spare set of bow and arrows and said to Darby, "I'm sorry, I only have one."

"That's okay, I'll find a sword when I can," said Darby. She looked down at her dress, which was purple, then at Mallory's, which was blue, then Maddie's, which was green, and Alyssa's, which was red. They were all floor-length, and the sleeves went to their elbows. "Huh," said Darby. "Not bad."

"That Logan boy was cute," said Susan absentmindedly.

"Don't get any ideas," said Mallory. "He's mine."

"You two are together?"

"No, but—"

"Mallory, now's not the time," said Maddie, walking towards the stairs. "We should go, the boys are waiting."

Everyone followed Maddie as she ascended the stairs back to the ruins. When they emerged, the boys gave them looks that said "Finally."

The group then made their way down the other side of the ruins, chatting amongst themselves. As they neared the end, they began to hear two men talking.

"He keeps looking at me!"

"Don't look at him, then. Just keep rowing."

"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming," sang Alyssa. When everyone gave her weird looks, she asked, "What?"

Susan sniggered.

Alyssa narrowed her eyes, scanned to see where the voices were coming from, and pointed. "Look!"

As they neared the river, two men in a rowboat came into view. One of the men ordered the other to stop.

"Should we tie a rock to him?" asked the other.

"No. He'll drown like—" Before he could finish his sentence, one of Susan's arrows hit in on his helmet, causing him to lose his balance and fall into the river. The other one looked around wildly until Susan yelled, "Drop him!"

Spotting her, his eyes widened, and he proceeded to drop the Dwarf into the river.
