AN: Well it's finally here, I promised that there would be a "The Susan Code 2" and here it is! I do however know that this first chapter is kinda short. But don't worry the next ones will probably be longer and this is just to start the fic off.

Emma, Cleo, and Rikki sat in a booth at the Juice Net cafe talking in low tones about a very elegant school of fish they'd seen swimming by during their last underwater swim.

"Maybe we'll see them again today." Cleo said, taking a sip of her frozen juice strawberry blend drink.

"We should invite Susan to come with us." Emma suggested.

"Where is Susan anyway?" Rikki wondered aloud, looking at the clock on the wall near the entrance to the cafe. "She was supposed to be meeting us here."

Emma shrugged her shoulders. "I haven't seen her." She told them.

The moon pool at Mako Island is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Even when the moon isn't shinning over the top it still has a quiet 'talk in whispers' sort of awe about it until you get used to being surrounded by thick volcano-like rock and seeing it's reflection in a pool of water so clear and pure it seems unreal. It was in fact safer to be there when the full moon wasn't shinning over the top. That, it had been discovered, resulted in anyone in the pool becoming a mermaid every time they went into the water. It had started off as one of the best-kept secrets in the world but as more and more people began to discover it's magical wonders, there was always a chance that it's time standing alone was coming to an end.

There was no moon glittering over the pool now. Full or otherwise. Of course there wasn't, it was the middle of the day. And Susan Pevensie, the mermaid that Cleo Sertori, Emma Gillbert, and Rikki Chadwick were waiting for back at the Juice Net was swimming in it. Or rather she had been swimming in it. Now swimming was the last thing on her mind. Peter had come into the cave from the land entrance and was smiling down at her.

Peter Burke-Pevensie was Susan's...well, it's sort of hard to explain. He was adopted by Susan's parents as a toddler because his own parents, Elise and Jacob Burke hadn't wanted him. He had been dead against anyone knowing about his adoption even keeping quiet about feelings he'd developed for Susan. Yet, sure enough, Susan had found out about his birth parents because of a box in the attic and brought it up. She also shared her own secret (That Mako Island had turned her into a mermaid) with him and the bond between the two of them became even stronger. They fell in love and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. However, they had a fight right before the 1949 railway accident (The infamous one) and Peter had been killed in it. Or so she had thought. She lived in loneliness until old age claimed her and one day, after being kidnapped by an evil scientist, Peter came back and helped rescue her. Turns out he was never really dead at all but living in the country of the great Lion Aslan which happened to have different space and time than our world. He hadn't known he'd left her for so long. With the help of Aslan himself, Susan was restored to her former glory and Peter was able to pop the question. And the little diamond ring on her left hand was proof enough that he'd gotten the answer he'd wanted.

"Hello." Peter said softly, crouching by the side of the moon pool.

"Hello." Susan smiled back at him and leaned forward to kiss him.

While they were kissing, the sound of an angry rap song blasted through the cave.

"What in the world?" Susan mumbled pulling herself away from Peter and looking for the source of the interruption.

"Darn it." Peter muttered, reaching into the brown backpack Lewis had given him, trying to find his cell phone (Zane had paid for Peter and Susan to get cell phones so they could keep in touch with everyone). It was at moments like this that Peter hated technology. Sure a cell phone was useful but it also had the side effect of killing the mood when you were trying to be alone with the girl you were engaged to.

"You really should change that ringtone." Susan told him. "It's unbelievably annoying"

"I've tried to change it." Peter explained, looking at the caller ID. It said 'EMMA' in big letters. "I can't figure out how."

"Peter?" Emma's voice came through the phone.

"Yes?" He wasn't sure why it was suddenly on speakerphone.

"Have you seen Susan?" Emma asked him. "She was supposed to meet us twenty minutes ago."

"Oh no!" Susan slapped her forehead. "I completely forgot. Tell them I'm on my way." With a slight splash, a large ring of ripples and one strong flap of her tail, Susan was gone, zooming towards the mainland.

"She's on her way." Peter said told Emma.

Emma related this information to Cleo and Rikki.

"Bye, Peter." She said, snapping her cell phone shut.

Five minutes later, Susan rushed into the Juice Net trying to catch her breath. She walked over to the booth where her friends were sitting.

"There you are." Rikki said by way of greeting.

"Yes, I'm so sorry I'm late." Susan apologized.

"With lover boy again were we?" Rikki teased.

Susan folded her arms across her chest. "For about half a second before the phone rang."

"Sorry." Cleo laughed a little. "The same thing always happens to me and Lewis."

"One time Zane was trying to act like he was in the middle of an important phone call, I guess to impress me or something and the phone rang." Ricky told them, knowing this story was sure to win at least a mild laugh.

"I've got one better." Emma said, taking the straw from her smoothie out of her mouth so she could tell them the story. "One time, Ash and I were making out and his mother called on the cell phone to ask if he buy milk and eggs on his way home."

Susan and Cleo exchanged confused glances, not really getting the humor of Emma's story.

Rikki rolled her eyes. "That's better than mine how?"

Emma shrugged. "I guess you had to be there."

"Why is that old lady staring at us?" Cleo asked suddenly as she noticed an old woman with white-blond hair and bright blue eyes looking at them from her table.

"Maybe she thinks you look funny." Susan joked. Using Lucy's jokes made her feel closer to her family. Yes, having Peter back was wonderful and more than she could have ever hoped for but she still missed her parents, Edmund, and Lucy terribly."

Peter walked in and kissed Susan on the forehead as they scooted over to make some room for him at the booth.

The old woman was looking at them even more intently now. She shook her head a little as though she thought she must be mistaken, and looked away. Then she looked back and stared some more.

"Doesn't that old woman look an awful lot like Edmund's girlfriend?" Peter whisper-asked Susan.

Susan glanced over at the woman again. "She does look quite a bit like Julia Dove. And she's the right age too."

"But she's dead." Rikki protested, touching the locket that hung from her neck. "The man at the store said that the owner had died."

Peter squinted at the necklace, noticing it for the first time. "Hey, that's the one Julia gave to Edmund before she left!"

"Wait..." Emma was starting to understand the situation. "That would mean that..."

"The deceased estate was Edmund's and Julia's still alive!" Cleo gasped.

"Great Scott!" Peter exclaimed.

"Come on." Susan grabbed his hand and pulled him to Julia's table. "The least we can do is say hello."

The old woman (Julia) looked more than a little startled to see them all coming towards her now. She knew she shouldn't have stared so long at them. They probably thought she was a stalker or something.

"Hi Julia." Peter said as causally as he could manage.

Her eyes widened. "How do you know my name?"

"Julia, it's us!" Susan exclaimed happily. "Susan and Peter Pevensie."

"I thought you looked familar...but how..." If it really was them, they should have been at least as old as she was, older actually.

"It's a bit of a long story." Peter chuckled.

Rikki came over feeling very strange standing in front of the former owner of her locket.

"My locket!" Julia smiled. "I always wondered what became of it after Edmund...." Her voice trailed off and the smile faded.

"Julia, we know why you didn't come back." Susan said kindly.

"You do?" She gasped. "How?"

Susan smiled at Rikki, Emma, and Cleo. "We'll show you."

They led Julia down to the beach and looked around to be sure no one was watching. Then on the count of three, the four mermaids leaped into the water, their golden-orange tails appearing instantly.

Julia couldn't believe it. She hadn't felt so excited in years.

After they'd dried off they all sat on the rocky sand watching the waves, explaining Narnia and Aslan (Including the part about Julia's former boyfriend Edmund being a king). They tried to gloss over the part about him betraying them for Turkish delight the best they could. Peter claimed it was mostly his fault anyway for being so hard on him. Susan claimed that she held part of the blame as well.

Not that it mattered, the fact that Edmund was a traitor who had mended and become a great leader only made Julia's eyes shine all the brighter as she listened. She didn't say they were crazy or that she didn't believe a word of it, she really listened and really believed everything they told her.

"So you mean to say, Edmund is still alive in Aslan's Country?" Julia asked in a hopeful tone. It seemed to good to be true. She'd come to terms with his death a long time ago but the thought that he wasn't gone after all made her heart ache in a way she couldn't quite understand.

Peter nodded. "He's doing just fine." He assured her.

"I wish I could get into Aslan's country." Julia murmured softly, more to herself than to the others. "I'd give anything to see him again."

Emma had an idea. "Do you think when you find a way back in, you could bring her with you?" She asked Susan and Peter.

"I don't know." Peter said. "We haven't a chance of getting her in there against Aslan's will if that's the case. But it would be nice if she could come. Edmund would be overjoyed."

"You mean, he hasn't...forgotten me?" Julia wanted to know.

"Are you kidding?" Susan laughed a little as she spoke. "He never stopped talking about you. He waited two years for you to come back."

"I wish I had come back when I had the chance." Julia sighed regretfully. "It's too late now"

"Maybe it'll all turn out alright in the end." Susan said comfortingly. "I mean, look at me and Peter." She reached out and grabbed his hand. "I'd lost all hope. I never dreamed I'd get him back someday."

"Maybe there is hope." Julia agreed. "Maybe there is."

AN: Okay, so whatja think? be brutal! I can take it (well actually I'd prefer nice reviews but I'll take what I can get LOL).
