The train station: 4 pm
Time: months after Prince Caspian and a couple months before The Dawn Treader

The train station was bustling with activity as people went to and from their rides. A screech of wheels the loud horn of another train was heard as the locomotive came to a stop at the loading platform. People filed into the station from different tunnels to board the train while others existed. Peter followed behind Susan who was up front with Lucy and was practically urging her other siblings along.

"Come on now," Susan insisted for the fourth time. "I know none of us are wanting to meet up with Aunt Alberta and Uncle Harold but mother said it was mandatory."

"Ugh," Edmund grumbled from behind Peter, "I don't see why mum would make us do this." The very thought of spending the rest of the war season in the most inhospitable quarters (according to him) angered him.

"Enough complaining Edmund," Susan replied cheerfully. "Besides it'll do us all good to meet them."

Edmund huffed and Peter glared at him.

They didn't have far to go in order to reach their train car. Before long they were near the car doors.

The siblings had boarded the train when a commotion behind them stopped them. A petite young lady practically blowed through the crowd of people on the platform in a hurry to board the departing train.

"Hey!" A man she almost knocked over exclaimed.

"Sorry!" The girl apologized, embarrassed.

The girl boarded the train on time but she crashed into Peter and nearly fell over but Peter caught her before she could.

"You ok, Miss?" He asked, setting her upright.

"Yea," she panted, exhausted from her mad dash to the train. "Sorry for almost knocking you over. I'm late for an important interview with my boss and he's very picky when it comes to time." She tucked a lock of chestnut brown hair behind her ear and tightened her grip on her suitcase.

Peter looked at the girl, she was a polite young lady and very outgoing. He looked at his siblings who were watching curiously.

"What time is your appointment?" Susan asked.

The girl looked up at her, "11:00," she replied. -it was 11:10-

"I would suggest getting a new boss," Edmund stated.

Peter frowned at this, but it wasn't a bad idea. "How do you handle this?" He asked.

She shrugged, "He's rich and my parents insisted I work for him." She perked up, realizing she hadn't introduced herself. "I'm sorry, my name is (insert name)."

The Pevensies in turn, greeted her.

"(Name), why don't you sit with us for the rest of the ride?" Lucy invited, merrily.

"I'd love that," (name) grinned.

The ride was a blast. All four Pevensie's got acquainted with the young woman. They even forgot the pending doom that waited for them at Cambridge.
