Once, there were four children who stood at an underground train station. They had just returned from a land called Narnia but nobody around them was aware that they ever had left. The children thought that their adventure was over. After all, it wa...
Hello Everyone! Thank you for the kind messages and reviews! They mean the world to me! These next 3 chapters are where things start to get a bit more interesting, shall we say...
"Oh Su, it's so good to see you!" Peter exclaimed as they broke from their long and comforting hug.
"Peter, it is great to see you too!" Susan said as she hugged her brother one more time.
"But what are you doing here?" He asked. "Aren't you supposed to be in America with Mum and Dad?"
"I had saved up enough money to visit for a few days." It took a lot of convincing for Mum and Dad to let me go. Really, the only reason they let me go is because I was invited to the British consul's tea party this week."
"Oh! Well, it may be fun." He tried to cheer her up.
"I don't know about that but let's not talk about it now. I want to make use of all of the time while I am here!"
"Well then, my lady. I will give you the tour of the countryside." He offered his arm to her.
"Such a gentleman." She replied as she took his arm. Both of them laughed as Peter guided her out the door for a walk in the countryside.

Later that night, they plopped onto Peter's bed, exhausted after the long day they had. Walking, eating food, and riding on horseback - after renting some horses, of course. All of that takes a lot out of someone. They started talking about their times in Narnia. All of a sudden, Susan noticed how mature Peter had become compared to the last time they were sent back to England.
"You know, Peter?" She said to get his attention. "You have been acting much more mature than last time we came back."
"Maybe it is because I am more mature. I have also noticed that you enjoy talking about Narnia again."
"Yes, I do enjoy it more." She said. "But I do still miss it very much."
"Me too, Su. Me too" He sighed.
They settled into silence until Susan spoke up. "How do they do it?" She asked him.
Peter looked at her with a confused look on his face. "How do they do what?"
"Have faith in Aslan all the time." She revealed as she stood up and paced the room. He immediately knew who she was talking about.
"Well, maybe it's because they get to go back eventually."
"No, that can't be it. Even when we came back the first time, they both still believed in Aslan, especially Lucy. Us on the other hand either got angry or tried to put it behind us."
Peter remained silent as Susan took a deep breath. "Sometimes I wish I could be more like Lucy." She sat down resting on her older brother's shoulder.
