Elizabeth stood with her friend, Susan, at a magazine stand,across the street from the train they took to get to and from school, almost everyday. A young boy walked up to Susan and began to flirt, while Elizabeth remained oblivious, too engrossed in the magazine she had found about the war.

"Elizabeth! Susan! Come quickly!" The youngest Pevensie called out as she ran towards them. The two girls quickly dropped what they were doing, and followed Lucy worriedly. The youngest girl led them to the train station, where a fight was happening between some of the school boys. The girls pushed through the crowd of cheering school children, to where they could see who was fighting. They searched the three boys faces, but one's back was turned. Then the other two boys grabbed the one who had his back turned, and shoved him in the direction the girls were in, allowing them to see the face of the oldest Pevensie, Peter.

Peter looked at the girls sadly, not wanting them to see him like this, yet, he also had a look of determination. He was then pinned by one of the boys, causing him to re-focus.

Lucy, Susan, and Elizabeth were suddenly shoved as Edmund rushed past them, reaching the fight, where he then jumped on the boy whom had pinned his brother, officially joining the fight.

Lucy calls after Edmund, but he pays no mind to her. Punches are thrown as the four boys fight each other. The girls struggle to keep track of the Pevensie boys, but when they so find them it's because Peter has been pinned to the ground with his head hanging over the train tracks, hanging off the walkway, while Edmund is being held back. Edmund breaks loose from his captor's hold and tackles the other boy off of Peter. Peter then gets up, spinning around and grabbing the boy who was holding Edmund. He grabs the boy by his collar and beings his arm back, about to punch the boy, when they hear a whistle. It was a policeman, coming to break up the fight!

The policeman broke up the fight, causing the crowd to dissipate rather quickly. Elizabeth and the four Pevensie children make their way over to a bench, waiting for the train to come. Peter was the last to walk over, plopping down between Edmund and Elizabeth.

"What was it this time?" Susan asked repugnantly.

"He bumped me." Peter vaguely explained. Elizabeth sighed, slouching slightly in her seat, after hearing the vague explanation.

"So you hit him?" Lucy questioned, perplexed that her brother would do such a thing!

"No. After he bumped me, he tried to make me apologize. Then I hit him." Peter explained.

"Why can't you just walk away?" Susan asked disappointed. The children all fell silent for a few moments, but Susan then noticed the boy that had been flirting with her at the stand, whom she had no interest in.

"Pretend you're talking to me." She said hurriedly to the others.

"Uh, we are talking to you." Edmund pointed out. Susan merely scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Ow!' Lucy shouted, quite shocked.

"Shh! Lu, be quiet!" Susan hissed at her little sister.

"Something pinched me!" Lucy said, trying to defend herself.

"Hey! Stop that!" Peter demanded at Edmund, jumping up out of his seat.

"What on earth?" Elizabeth exclaimed, feeling a pinch, as she too jumped out of her seat. Susan and Edmund jumped up too, feeling the same thing as the others.

"What is that?" Elizabeth questioned.

"It feels like magic!" Lucy exclaimed happily.

"Quick, everyone hold hands!" Susan told the others. They all grabbed each others hands. Except for-
