Tales of the Narnian Monarchs: Reality's Frightful Jerk

Oh, How the Tables Have Turned

"I'm capable of changing myself, you know." He spoke back as they climbed the stairs.

Lilith gave a shrug, "Quite frankly, I couldn't deal with being in the same room as Sanya and Ed. They haven't killed each other but one wrong word and it'll be world war three." She spoke as they got to his room.

He sent her a look.

"Too soon for the WW3 jokes?" She asked, dropping back into his bed.

"I don't mind. Best not speak like that at work though." He warned her, changing.

"And here we have Peter Pevensie teaching me tact. And half naked? What a day."

He sent her a pointed look, which she returned, not standing down.

"I'm not scared of you, unlike some." She told him, sitting up and narrowing her eyes slightly.

"Perhaps you should be."

"Try me." She replied, raising an eyebrow ever so slightly.

There was a moment where they half glared at each other, until suddenly Peter lurched forward, pinning her hands back on the bed.
"Still no fear?"

'No' was what she wanted to reply. But her heart WAS pounding.

"Never." She spoke with a smirk until his lips met hers.

They were pulled away from each other what felt like hours later by Sanya, who surveyed Lilith in just her underwear and Peter in boxers and with their hair messed up with a smile.

"I suppose it WAS my turn to barge into Peter having sex." She said in a slightly perturbed voice. "How the tables have turned."

"We weren't having sex." Lilith denied.

"Yet." Peter smirked, leaning down and handing the dress back to Lilith, who slipped it on and was red in the face.

"Anyway, come on down, Susan was about to come up with a knife." Sanya said and then stared at them pointedly.

"There was a time I was feared by everyone." Peter grumbled as he followed Lilith out.

"Was." Sanya replied, a daring smile on her face.

"I hate you."

15 minutes later they were all sat round in their usual spots.
There was a clear line not to be crossed regarding Sanya and Edmund, but other than that, it was all going quite well.
"I- uhm, actually have some news." Lilith dared to address them when most seemed finish eating. She made a point NOT to catch anyone's eye.
"I found a place. It's small- but nice... Ev'll like it... It's in Scarborough." She finished, look up to see their expressions.

"That's- that's so far! We- we had no idea!" Lucy looked nearly in tears, the other's seeming stuck between confusion, surprise and hurt.

"It won't be the same without you, Lil." Susan gave a small smile.

"Or the food you always bring." Edmund hid his own sorrow with his usual sarcastic humour.

Sanya put a hand on her mouth to stop her laughter while Susan hit him.

The redhead looked at them all, rather surprised, "so. Let me get this straight. You guys REALLY believe I'd move TIME ERAS to be with you... and then move across the country? Really? I mean... I do have a place... but it's LITERALLY down the road... but I AM going to Scarborough, with you lot, this weekend, if you want." She spoke, reaching into her bag and producing 6 train tickets. "I bought them last week. We've a hotel booked for the night and I spoke to your parents Sanya, they're completely okay with it... after an hour of persuasion."
