Since it was getting dark, the group set up a camp and fell asleep quickly after.

All of them surrounded the fire to at least stay a bit warm throughout the night.

Then at around 2am, a poke at her right cheek woke Gianna.

"Gia." Marina whispered to her. Concerned, she quickly looked to her sister and saw a tear slowly roll down from her eye and down her cheek.

The young girl tucked the hand she just used to poke Gianna away, and back under her head to protect herself from the hard floor.

On purpose she scooted up to be across from her. "¿Si? ¿Que pasa?" (Translation: "Yes? What's wrong?")

Marina sniffed "I miss casa. And Luis." Gianna frowned "Debes recordar que este lugar es más seguro de el case. Guerra y todo." She finished and took a shakey breath in. (Translation: "You need to remember that this place is safer than home. War and all.")

It killed her to lie but it was important. Marina needed to hear that it was fine for them to end up in this, yes magical, but also violent world.

"Good back to sleep, Nena. Things will get better." Marina nodded her head and proceeded to close her eyes and return back to dream land.

But Gianna stayed up a little longer. She stared up at the sky and watched the stars as they burned.

They didn't look different from the ones in Puerto Rico but she recognized hardly any of the constellations.

One day she hoped that she could but decided it was time to finally sleep.

"I hope." She whispered as her eyes slowly closed and darkness consumed her thoughts.

"Lucy? Lucy?!" Peter shouted before stumbling up in his feet and rushing to get his sword.

Everyone barely started to wake up as he ran straight into the forest.

"Come on, Lucy is missing!" Susan ordered rushing them. The thing is, Lucy, Peter, and everyone else left behind a bag.

"Go!" Gianna ordered Trumpkin, Edmund, and Susan "We'll get everything."

They were fine with that and followed the direction of where Peter ran. The three saw as he was about to hit Prince Caspian over the head with a rock.

"Peter!" "Stop it!" They shouted before stopping besides Lucy.

There were many Narnians around them and after looking down at the sword in his hand, Caspian slowly realized.

"High King Peter." The corners of his mouth lifted up to a smile and responded with "I believe you called."

Still in a bit of shock, Caspian spoke without much thought. "Well, yes, but I thought you'd be older."

Peter didn't really appreciate that so "If you like, we could come back in a few years-" his tone was a bit playful in the end which was sort of like Gianna's yesterday at the stream.

"No. No, that's all right. You're not exactly what I excepted." Caspian eyed Susan a little and she did the same.

"Neither are you." Edmund spoke eyeing a minotaur holding an axe.

"Susan! Edmund!" The two sister caught up behind them with all of their belongings.

"Lucy, are you all right?" Marina asked and got a yes from the girl. "Princesses," she gestured with her hand towards everyone "This is Prince Caspian and the remaining Narnians."

Marina looked around at all the eyes on them and nodded her head "Well..." She blinked multiple times trying to process everything. "Okay." Gianna finished for her before waving a friendly hi to them.

Now the presence of Gianna got Caspian flustered and most of his attention was focused on her while Trufflehunter said "A common enemy unties even the oldest of foes."

Reepicheep approached Peter "We have anxiously awaited your return, my liege. Our hearts and swords are at your service."

Since she stood besides her, Lucy whispered to Marina "Oh my gosh, he is so cute."

He pulled out his sword in one move and got in a fighting position "Who said that?!"

"Sorry." She apologized immediately causing Marina to suffer from holding back laughter.

"Oh. Uh. Your majesty, with the greatest respect, I do believe "courageous", "courteous", or "chivalrous" might more befit a knight of Narnia."

She nodded and said a quick okay. "Someone got in trouble." Marina whispered in a mocking tone in her ear.

"Well, at least we know some of you can handle a blade." Caspian heard Peter's undertones of basically insulting how he fights but decided to not comment.
"Yes, indeed. And I have recently put it to good use, securing weapons for your army, sire." Reepicheep had a wide, prideful smile.

"Good." Peter glanced at Gianna and saw as she would glance at Caspian, who was also looking at her. "Prince Caspian." He snapped them out of their daze "We're going to need every sword we can get."

Sensing some jealousy coming from Peter he matched the glare that Peter was giving. "Well, then you will probably be wanting yours back."

No hesitation came from Peter as he reached out and grabbed his sword back.
