Songs, these have been added, with lyrics into the story but I'll tell you them anyway:
Home, Michael Buble.
A place for us, West side story.
Enjoy,
Susan sat in the white carriage looking at the grand house it was so grand yet it almost looked too big as if it was overwhelming in fact, she looked across to Lucy who's pale brown eyes were wide in awe of the house. It was made from red bricka and had huge white pillars and huge windows, it was like a palace.
They were all in fact even more shocked when they got inside, there was a dark wooden panelling and suits of armour in the hall, Mrs McCredie walked them all towards a small set of stair leading to the main staircase, giving out a strict speech as she went. Her face turned pointed and stern as she barked orders at them her eyes watching them narrowly.
"The professor is not accustomed to having children in his house so therefore there are a few rules."
The four of them looked up at her in fear despite her being slight she looked like she could kill.
"There will be no shouting or running." she said in her Scottish accent, Peter picking up on the fact that she dropped her g's.
"No improper use of the dumbwaiter.", Edmund held in a laugh as she shot devils eyes at him.
Susan saw a white head carved in marble and held out her hand to it as Mrs McCredie screamed,
"No touching if the artefacts!"
Susan blushed at the other three stared at her, trying not to laugh.
"And most of all no disturbing of the professor!"
They all walked of other than Lucy who being curious saw a dim yellow light underneath a door and looked underneath it holding her breath. To an eight year old girl anything could have been under there, you can't say you've never been curious. but Lucy did not know how far her curiosity she gasped when she saw a shadow moved and ran out into the hall way to catch up with her sister.
Peter and Edmund had found their new room, they were sharing a new experience, despite being brothers strangely for both of them they had never shared a room before, well not when both of them could remember. They had already argued for the first time over who got the right hand side of the wardrobe in their room and as usual Edmund had won. Peter sighed sitting on his new bed he felt bored already so he went to go find Susan and Lucy's room.
Lucy and Susan were acting pretty normal, but to be fair moving around for them and sharing rooms was normal for them, there room had a large window were Lucy was standing looking out of it longingly, Susan noticed the time on her watch. It was eight o' clock, Lucy's bed time. Lucy was waiting for her sister to turn to her and say,
"It's bedtime Lucy."
Lucy sighed, "Not yet, please."
Susan sighed tugging on a skirt trying to get it to hang straight on the wooden hanger she was holding,
"Fine at least get into bed."
Lucy ran across the bed, it was very large Susan smiled staring at her it looked like she was being swallowed up by the huge white monster called her quilt. Lucy however was frowning slightly, Susan walked over to her sitting on the edge of the bed,
"What's the matter?"
"The sheets are all scratchy." sighed Lucy pulling her sheets around trying to stop them irritating her.
"Wars don't last forever Lucy, we will be home soon, just think of this as an adventure." Lucy smiled not even knowing how much of an adventure this would be.
Susan walked over back to the cases on her bed, she wanted them both to go home, if only they actually had them.
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
I've got to go home
Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day has come
And gone away
In either Paris or Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
And let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home
Just as Susan had turned her back to Lucy when she heard a knock on the door, she knew Lucy was still awake so responded quickly,
"Come in!"
She was surprised when Peter came from behind the door smiling,
"How are you doing?"
Susan sighed walking closer towards him putting the blouse she had down on her bed,
"Okay, bit hard but were managing, how about you and Edmund."
Peter sighed thinking of his devil of a little brother but pulled his thoughts together and just said, "Splendidly."
They walked further into the room past Lucy,
"Hey Lucy." said Peter smiling.
"Hey." said Lucy flatly.
Susan and Peter sat on a couch on the other side of the room.
"Is she okay?" Peter whispered to Susan.
"War." sighed Susan quietly.
Peter nodded understanding her.
They sat there talking for about half an hour when Peter left to go check on Edmund, his unpredictable brother that could have been up to so much mischief by now.
Susan sighed closing the door, she turned the light off as well walking over to bed and slipping on her nightgown, she slipped into her new bed, it felt so strange. She remembered her bed from her childhood how safe it made her feel how warm she turned to Lucy hoping that one day there would be a better place for both of them.
There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.
There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!
Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!
