Stuck in the future
By NarnianAslan
Chapter One
Summary: The four Pevensies all miss Narnia, so they try to see an old friend of Narnia (NOT PROFESSOR KIRKE!). Suddenly, they find themselves in 2006 in America. With the help of a few friends, will they find their way back, or do they want to stay?
Author's Note: AU. Yeah, cause Lucy's 15, Ed's 16, Su's 17, and Peter's 18, almost 19.
England: 1 August 1940: 1:56 PM
"Su, come off it! We could get back to Narnia one day! Pete, Ed and I all miss it too!" fifteen-year-old Lucy Pevensie pleaded with her inconvincible older sister, Susan.
"You don't understand! Any of you!"
"Oh. I see. You miss Daniel. You don't think I miss Lise?" Edmund angrily asked his sister, then he left the room.
"Susan! Look what you've done! You've no right to remind Edmund of Lise, his wife. I had thought you were still Susan the Gentle. But I suppose I was wrong." Peter left to comfort his brother.
As Lucy passed by, she gave Susan a look that read you went way too far.
Susan just started to cry. Not in self-pity, but because she felt horrible saying those things to her brother, her family.
When she felt that Edmund might possibly forgive her (an hour or so later), she went to find him. She supposed he was in his room, so that's where she looked first. When he saw her, he turned his head.
"Go. Away." Edmund told her through gritted teeth.
"Look, Ed, I'm sorry."
"No, you're not."
"Yes, I am. And to show it to you, I might have a way for you to see Lise."
Edmund instantly brightened.
"How then?"
"I'm not too sure. But I remember Professor Kirke chatting with Aunt Polly and they mentioned some way to see the future. The professor said 'anyone wishing to see the future must simply lie down, and concentrate on what they wish to see, and if they see it, it will happen' and yes, I really heard this. I also heard some centaurs talking about the same thing."
"That may just be crazy enough to work!" Peter exclaimed.
"Oh, do let's try it, Edmund. Please?" Lucy put on her most pathetic face. Even though she was fifteen, it still had a huge effect on her siblings. Edmund had to smile.
"Alright, Lu, you win. So, Su, how, exactly, do we do this?"
"I shan't repeat it until you forgive me."
"I forgive you, Susan, otherwise I wouldn't be talking to you at all."
"We simply lie on the floor, hold hands, and relax. We do need to think of Lise when we fist saw her, though."
So that is exactly what they did. It was hardly thirty minutes later when all four siblings were in full concentration. But, little did they know, they had a great surprise in store for them when they woke up.
America: February 3rd, 2006: 3:02 PM
Sixteen-year-old Elizabeth Emily Summerfield, or Lise as she was commonly known as, was on her way from school. This was the first day she drove her Land Rover to school. She lived with her older sister, Jessica (who was currently away at college), in a big house in a small town in a small state in America (AN: too many 'ins' I know).
This was her one-year-and-six-month anniversary away from Narnia. She missed everything, the fauns, the nobles, the talking animals, the woods, the air, the ocean. But she especially missed the Pevensies, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. She missed Edmund the most, but that was because she had been in love with him there, and had yet to find a guy anywhere vaguely distantly close to being as well, perfect for her as him. They had been married back there, and she still felt she loved him. She missed him more each day.
"Eddy," she sighed, using her nickname for him. Yes, they did have pet nicknames, which they developed while they were courting. She had been Lizzie, and he had been Eddy. Nothing so mushy like 'sweetiekins'. Yuck. She hated those kind of pet names.
Before Lise knew it, she had reached her street. She turned into it, and pushed the button that opened the garage. She drove in, and parked. She got out, closed the garage and car doors, and went into her house. She went to the kitchen to get a granola bar, and to dump her backpack somewhere (like on her sister's favorite chair), then she headed up to her room. But she didn't know, like you and I do, that she had a pleasant shock in store for her.
.:A:N:. Yeah it might be not so good, but you still should review, out of the kindness of your hearts. :) yeah I know, too philosophical.
