❉ Prologue ❉

(A/N This is about Alice's beginning, and then I will write the rest of the story from the old Starlight. Of course you can skip this part, it's only a backstory. Edit: Please ignore this, it was from Quotev.)

London England ~ February 23, 1925

Helen Pevensie and Wendy Jones were best friends.

They grew up together, learned together, and spent time together. But soon, they grew apart because they had their own lives. But during those times they were alone, Wendy and Helen missed their friendship.

One day, Helen sent Wendy a letter, saying that she had a child, a baby boy, called Peter. So then, Wendy sent a letter in return, and they caught up on each other's lives. Wendy learned that Helen married a lovely man, named John. And Helen learned that Wendy was married to a man, Adam. After a year and a half since Helen and Wendy because friends again, Wendy decided to move back to her home town, where Helen, Peter, and John live. So she and her husband drove to Finchley, and stopped at a hotel. At the hotel, she got yet another letter from Helen, explaining she had another child, named Susan. As Wendy read the letter, she was thinking about having kids of her own, but she didn't think she was ready for that yet.

Finchley, London England ~ July 29, 1925 ~ 1:35 p.m.

The next morning, Wendy and Adam drove the rest of the way to Finchley. Helen had given them their address, because they were going to stay in the Pevensie household until their new house was ready. As they parked their car, the house seemed very silent. Wendy wondered if they were even at home.

Meanwhile, in the house, Peter is trying to walk to the door, but a one and a half year old can't really do that. But that brave Peter still tried. He held onto the kitchen chair, and exclaimed: "Mummy!"

Helen got up, put baby Susan in John's arms, and walked over to the chair Peter stood by. "What is it, Pete?" She asked.

Peter raised his hand, and pointed out the window at the car parked by the house, and started bouncing.

"Oh!" Helen said. "Wendy and Adam are here!" She walked over to the door, and watched as Wendy and Adam walked up to the doorway. They heard their doorbell ring, and Helen opened the door.

"Hello!" Helen said. "Welcome!"

"Could you grab this, please?" Wendy asked, and held out her suitcase.

"Of course." Helen said, and took the suitcase from Wendy. As she picked it up, she dropped it to the floor, her hand still around the handle.

"Helen, are you all right?"

Helen smiled, then picked the case up again. "What do you have in here, bricks?"

Wendy smiled too. "What room are we staying in?"

"I'll show you two. Come on!" Helen said, and she started walking upstairs. Wendy tried to move, put a weight was put on her left leg. She looked down, and saw Peter holding onto her leg.

"Hello." Wendy said gently, smiling. "You must be Peter I've heard so much about."

Peter nodded his head. He leaned his head against Wendy's leg. "Aww..." Helen said. "I don't think he likes you." She said sarcastically. When he didn't let go, Helen told him to get off. He shook his head.

"Don't worry about it, Helen." Wendy said, kneeling down to Peter, and picked him up. "Where's Susan?"

"Su-Su!" Peter said. Wendy, Helen, and Adam laughed, and they walked into the living room. They saw John sitting on the couch, and he was holding a baby girl wrapped in a purple blanket. "Su-Su!" Peter said again, pointing to his sister. Then, Helen came over to Peter. "Time for your nap." She said, and took him from Wendy. "Awww..." Peter said sadly.
