so turns out the ford d.l.f was talking about was under construction by a bunch of "telmarines". they're like the english when they were colonizing everything.

the dwarf told me he actually believed me. the telmarine accent i once had was gone. sure, it could be easy to fake it but after a couple of hours straight you'd think i'd forget for a minute. he was testing me all along and i unknowingly passed.

so guess where we're going back to? the place lucy had seen "aslan".

i love lucy already but she's crazy if she thinks we're falling 100 feet down and probably die just to see a lion.

the walk back was a little silent so i decided to ask what other missions they've been here for.

"we walked into a wardrobe, edmund sided up with an ice witch because of CANDY, we defeted her and we came back to...real life i guess" peter answered plainly.

i looked at edmund and laughed. "candy! what a joke!"

he groaned like a baby. "i was younger, alright? and it was different...it wasn't just the candy"

i gave him that "oh, yeah suuure" look and didn't say anything else. im positive it was just for the candy.

we finally arrived at the river canyon and lucy immediatly looked at the same direction as before. she must really love aslan.

"so where exactly did you think you saw aslan?" peter asked. lucy turned to look at him.

"i wish you'd all stop trying to sound like grown ups. i don't think i saw him, i know i saw him". i laughed inside my head.

the last thing i want to become is a grown up. bills, marriage, kids, expenses, and then possibly...divorce. lets not talk about the wrinkles. i shuddered. it's a no for me.

lucy started walking farther away. "it was right over-".

"LUCY!"

lucy had literally just fallen off the fucking edge!

we all ran trying to save her and thank goodness.

"lucy! don't move!". susan tried to get a hold of lucy. she fell on a rock but it was risky to move.

lucy shook her head. "no! we can easily walk down from here. i'm able to see a path down."

i quickly backed away and waved my hands across my chest. "there's no way in hell im going down there! id rather eat a tide pod"

edmund laughed at me. "a tide pod? what is that?"

i slapped my forehead a little too hard. "no way im telling you. you might steal the creators idea".

"yeah, edmund doesn't have the motivation to wake up in the morning, what makes you think he'll invent something". susan laughed at her remark.

"guys! are you coming or not?"

shoot. we forgot about lucy.

"i could help you go dow-"

"WOW where did all this will to go down by myself come from? ill decline, edmund".

no way ill let him touch me let alone help me do something. independent woman, right?

after 3 close calls and one scrape later, i finally arrived at the bottom. the river was pretty calm and wasn't actually a "rush".
