"Peter we need their army"
"We don't need their army!"
"Yes we do"
The six leaders sat in Lucy's room contemplating the terms of the sealing process of the alliance.
"Was he set about the marriage or do you think he's flexible about that" Susan asked the pacing king.
"I don't know I just said 'uh excuse me a moment' and left the room"
"Well that was dumb of you" Ed muttered not looking up from his chess game.
"I mean I probably would've done the same" Enne replied also not looking up from the chess game.
"Do you guys do anything other than play chess?" Nia turned to look at the two who simply ignored her. She rolled her eyes turning to Peter. Biting the inside of her cheek she exchanged a look with the king and the two went outside to talk privately.
"Peter-
"Don't say it."
"But its-
"Stop talking right now."
"Well I haven't exactly been able to say anything with all these interruptions" Nia joked as she sat on a ledge of a window facing Peter. She took his hands and pulled him towards her, "You know we have to do this, we need the army." She wrapped her arms around his neck as his hands came to rest on her hips.
"I can talk to Lau maybe we can figure something out"
"And risk letting the alliance fall apart? Peter I don't like this anymore than you do but we need to protect our kingdom and we can't do that without their army."
Peter sighed as Nia rested her forehead on his,
"No."
She pulled away shocked, "No?"
"No."
"What do you mean No??"
"I'll figure it out" he said while walking away.
"Figure what out? Where are you going? What just happened?" Nia called after him, confused. "This can not possibly end well" she thought out loud. Shaking her head she got up and went to go update Enne.

"Wait so you WANT him to get married??"
"Of course not but we need the army"
"We can't need it that badly"
"Oh we need it badly alright, we are at a huge disadvantage against the Telmarine, I knew we should've just executed Caspian and his fugly uncle"

Enne sighed, "We need a vacation"
Nia paused, "wait what happened to Aslan?"
"I dunno wandered into the forest or whatever Jesus Lions do, why?"
"Cant we just ask him about this whole situation?"
"He'd give us some stupid philosophical riddle anyways," Enne waved off, "We could still try going into the forest and yelling our questions into the void?"
"Maybe keep that as our backup plan"
"backup to what we don't even have a main plan"
There was a moment of silence as the two mulled things over.
"So... to the forest then?"
"Yea ok"

"HEY ASLAN WE NEED YOUR ADVICE. IF YOU CAN HEAR US PLS RESPOND"
The two heroes of the prophecy wandered around the depths of the forest yelling for the mystical lion.
"I SURE WOULD HATE IT IF A MYSTERIOUS LION WOULD COME TO US IN OUR HOUR OF NEED"
"this is so stupid" Nia groaned sitting on a log.
"No this is definitely gunna work I can sense it" Enne replied also sitting down.

"You called?" The calm voice of the lion broke through the temporary silence.

"No way that actually worked" Enne muttered
"uh yea we got a situation we could use some advice on"
After briefly running through the events since they last saw him, Alsan took a moment to analyze the situation.
"So it seems to me that you simply need an army"
"well yea that's our main issue"
"how do you feel about another quest"
"I'm down" Enne shrugged
"Honestly I'm not feeling it" Nia started but was shot a look by her friend, "yea ok quest time....again."

The girls lead the lion back to the castle where the three of the four Pevensie siblings sat in silence.
"Ed go get your brother" Nia said as she sat on the bed and rubbed her face, "we're going on an adventure"
