Susan and Lily wake up to the light across the hall in Peter's and Edmund's room coming on. Both girls looked at Lucy bed realising she was no long in the room before looking at the clock to see it midnight. Getting out of bed they ran across the hall to see what was going on.
"Peter wake up" they heard Lucy saying. "Wake up it's back it's really back."
"What's back?" Susan asked as the brunette a blonde entered the boys room.
"Narnia in the wardrobe it back." Lucy squealed with joy.
"Lucy we've been over this" Peter said. "There's nothing into the wardrobe."
"Yes there is. It's there" Lucy exclaimed. "And this time Edmund went to."
"You saw the faun" Lily asked.
"Well no he didn't go with me" Lucy said looking at her brother. "Wait where you doing Ed"
"Sorry Peter I was just playing along" Ed said and Lily could he was lying as Lucy began to cry.
"Good going Ed" Peter said following Susan and Lily after Lucy who had ran straight into the professor.
"You children what did..." Macready came running from her room. "Professor Kirke, I apologize I specifically told them not to disturb you."
"Nonsense Mrs Macready" the Professor said looking down at Lucy. "Why don't you and Lily take this little down to kitchen for some hot cocoa."
"Yes sir" Macready said as Lily rapped her arm around Lucy an lead her to the kitchen.
"You two not so fast" Lily heard her grandfather stop the oldest two Pevensies.
Lily sat across the kitchen counter as Mrs Macready sat a cup of cocoa in front of each of them. Lucy told the old housekeeper thank you as did Lily before they took a sip.
"I trust you can handle it from her" Macready said to Lily at the kitchen door.
"Yes ma'am" Lily nodded before she left. "So Lucy tell is it a beautiful place."
"Wait you still believe me." Lucy look up a the older girl shocked.
"Of course I do" Lily told her. "I believe that earth's not the only planet with life on it so why would I believe a whole other world is in that wardrobe up stairs."
"Well then it the most beautiful place I've ever seen" Lucy told her. "It's covered in snow all year Mr Tumnus told me and there's these really big and old trees for miles. It sad though they never get Christmas or summer. Can you even imagine what that's like?"
"No but it sounds like it would be terrible to live with" Lily said giving her a smile. "So why's it always winter?"
"Because one hundred years ago a witch cast spell making it that way" Lucy said. "She a mean witch to. Mr Tumnus said she doesn't at an children from our world coming to visit Narnia because we're a threat to her or something like that."
"Sounds like you know a lot about the place" Lily said.
"No not really" Lucy told her. "But Mr Tumnus does. Hey maybe you can meet him someday."
"I'd like that Lu." Lily told her take another drink of her hot chocolate.
