Nicole woke up in the middle of the night with a start.

'That was such a weird dream' she thought.

She grabbed her journal and started to write her dream down. She wrote about a younger version of the Pevensies helping a majestic lion, named Aslan, free a world from a woman called the "White Witch". She then wrote about a Golden Age where Peter and his sibling ruled this other world. She put her journal back in her messenger bag and went back to sleep.

A couple of hours later Nicole woke up again. She had been dreaming about the Pevensies going back to that land to help a man this time, named Caspian, free the magical creatures. Just before she awoke she heard a voice talking to her. The voice was calm and soothing, almost how a mother talks to her daughter. Nicole still remembered the words the voice spoke

"The time is coming sweet goddess. It is almost time for you to take you place and help defend your kingdom and that of your loved ones."

With that the mysterious voice left. Looking around the compartment she couldn't shake the feeling that an adventure was a bout to begin. She tried to go back to sleep but found she couldn't so she decided to go get some water. When she opened the compartment door what she saw made her gasp. Peter woke with a start after hearing her:

"What's wrong?" he asked rushing to make sure she was all right.

"Its beautiful..." She was all she said as Peter turned around to see what she was looking at. What he saw made him smile.

"Susan, Edmund, Lucy…you might want to come see this" he said happily.

The three younger Pevensies slowly, and tiredly, made their way to their brother. When they saw what was outside they immediately were awake. What they saw was a beautiful beach overlooked by a castle high on the cliff. Lucy and Edmund were the first to run onto the sand followed by an stunned Susan. Peter took Nicole's hand and said

" Trust me… you will love it here" and lead her into the waves

As they were playing in the surf the three girls teamed up against the boys and started splashing them. The boys just shrugged and charged at the girls. Peter chased after Nicole and tackled her, making them both fall down in the process. As they were laughing Nicole looked up and a castle behind Peter caught her eye…

"Peter, what is that behind you?" she asked

Peter turned to look "They rebuilt it" he said amazed

Turning to Nicole he pulled her up our of the water and said

"That is Cair Paravel. It is our home," he said starting to walk toward it. Nicole did not follow him. She couldn't believe that the castle from her dreams was real. With this discovery she made a shocking conclusion

"Its all true" Nicole whispered still standing amidst the game the younger Pevensies were playing. The three stopped splashing and Peter turned to face them.

"What's all true?" Lucy asked coming to stand beside her along with the other three.

They all listened quietly as Nicole explained her dream. When she finished she looked at them and asked:

"Is it true? Are you kings and queens? Have you saved this land twice?"

For some reason unknown to the Pevensies, Nicole was on the verge of tears. Peter walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her pulling her to him.

"Yeah its all true. I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was afraid you would think I was crazy," he told her afraid she was angry with him. Nicole pulled back a little to look at him.

" I wouldn't have thought you were crazy. For some reason it all firs. You all seem to have a regal aire about you." She explained. She then turned to Lucy and smiled "Now lets go see your castle" she said grabbing Lucy's hand and running towards the castle

Edmund followed behind. Susan started to follows along but stopped when she noticed that Peter was not moving he was just staring at Nicole.

"What's wrong Pete?" she asked her brother.

"Something is bothering Nicole. Her smile seems forced," he said.

"She is probably still in minor shock and is trying to comprehend all of this." Susan replied calmly "Don't worry…she will be fine." She assured him and went to join the others with Peter following her.

The eldest Pevensies finally caught up to the group. They started to make their way up the mountain. Lucy was busy telling Nicole all about the creatures of Narnia. Nicole listened and was amazed. Lucy was so excited to see Cair Paravel again that she ran ahead with Edmund and Susan chasing after her. Nicole followed behind them at a leisurely pace still amazed by everything. Peter walked up to her and reached for her hand. They silently walked like this for a while. Finally Peter stopped and looked over at Nicole and said:

"I'm sorry"

Nicole looked over at Peter confused

"What are you sorry about?" she asked

"For not telling you about Narnia. I feel like I lied to you." He explained. "But please understand that I never expected to come back. Last time we left here Susan and I were told we wouldn't come back. Just please forgive me." he pleaded quietly looking down.

Nicole gently put her hand on Peter's cheek to get him to look at her.

"Peter I can not forgive you…" She started. Peter's face went pail and he opened his mouth to explain more when Nicole put her finger to his lips to silence him.

"You did not let me finish." She continued, "I can not forgive you because there is nothing to forgive." She finished removing her fingers from his lips so he could speak.

Peter sighed in relief. "So we are ok?" he checked.

Nicole smiled and gave him a soft peck on the lips, "of course we're ok."

They quickly caught up to the other three and finished climbing the mountain. The castle at the top was beautiful.

"It's beautiful," Nicole whispered

Peter leaned down, "I'm looking at sight far more beautiful" he whispered in her ear making her blush.

As they were walking to the bottom of the stairs a young man who looked about seventeen with dark brown hair hurried out of the door and stopped. The four Pevensies and Nicole stopped in their tracks. Nicole looked over at Susan to see her smile. The young man and Susan ran toward each other and greeted with a kiss. Nicole saw Lucy smile and Peter tense up. The two on the stairs broke apart and hugged. The remaining four climbed up to Susan and the young man. He broke eye contact with Susan and looked at the others saying:

"Welcome back kings and queens of old…ah! I see we have a guest"

"Thank you Caspian…this is Nicole…my girlfriend" Peter replied friendly.

Caspian bowed slightly to Nicole "an honor….I am Caspian."

Nicole smiled back "Pleasure to meet you, and please call me Nicky"

Caspian nodded and turned back to Peter "The castle should be the same as when you ruled. Including your rooms. I had it rebuilt as best as I could" he explained

Lucy smiled happily "It looks just like I remember. Thank you Caspian!" hugging him.

"It was my pleasure Lucy. Now I take it you remember where your rooms are. So I will leave you now. I have a little business to finish before the day ends." With that Caspian bowed quickly and left. As Caspian was leaving Peter felt a tug on his shirttail. He looked down to see Lucy next to him.

"Peter…can Nicole have a room next to mine?" she asked

Peter knelt down to Lucy's level and said quietly, as if it were a secret, "I was thinking about the room between our rooms. How does that sound?"

Lucy smiled and grabbed Nicole's hand. "Come on! Ill show you where your room is." She said running toward the stairs dragging Nicole behind her.

Nicole turned her face toward Peter and his siblings and smiled. She then turned back and hurried to keep up with Lucy. The three remaining just smiled happy to be back. Susan looked at Peter.

"Well she is taking everything well." She said

"Yeah Pete you lucked out, she is handling finding out her boyfriend is, not only a king, but the high king of a different world way better than most would" Ed added.

Peter smiled "Yeah she is amazing, and she is not mad that I never told her about Narnia. You know I think I love her." he said amazed by his girlfriend

"Well I think I'm going to my room" Ed said.

"Wait up I will come to…You coming Susan?" Peter asked

Susan nodded and the three of them walked off toward their rooms.
