Okay guys...here we go! This story goes along with the one-shot, Teach Me, and has nothing to do with any of my other stories. This takes place three years after Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace have left Narnia for the last time, with memories of their time aboard the Dawn Treader thrown in. It's going to be very long...so bear with me (: Here are the ages for the characters created by C.S. Lewis:

Lucy: 18

Edmund: 20

Caspian: 23

Eustace: 16

Peter: 23

Susan: 22

Characters created by me:

Landon: 21

Sophie: 20

Of course there will be other characters, ones that C.S. Lewis created and some that I did, but there ages aren't really that important. Peter's wife will be named Michelle, and Susan's boyfriend will be named Andrew, but those two characters are very minor so who cares? Okay...on with the story! Oh...the first chapter is a memory from Prince Caspian, but it'll be the only memory that goes that far back. The other is a memory from after Prince Caspian but before the Dawn Treader. I should stop explaining and just let you figure it out, shouldn't I? Okay...I'll stop rambling... Enjoy!

"Here, I want you to wear this while you are off trying to find Aslan," Caspian whispered into Lucy's ear, as always sending tingles down her spine, pulling something from his pocket and dropping it in her outstretched hand. She stared at him for a moment, wondering what had gotten into him before she looked at it quickly, eyes widening in disbelief, doing a double take. In her hand sat a heart-shaped, yellow diamond necklace on a golden chain. It was a simple piece of jewelry, which was what she preferred. It was perfect. Mouth hung agape, Lucy ran her forefinger over the delicate little stone, completely mesmerized. Stealing a glance at the prince, she was at a loss for words for a few awkward seconds, not sure whether or not to thank him or insist that he take it back. Although Caspian was a great friend to her, and she had a connection with him that she honestly had never felt, she did not feel as if they had known each other nearly long enough for him to be giving her something like this, even if it was only a loan.

"W-why?" She stuttered, still staring at the object of her fascination, not able to take her eyes off of it as it sparkled with a unique beauty in the palm of her hand. Caspian seemed to grow rather nervous, cheeks gathering red patches on them as he put a hand to the back of his neck. The shirt he wore exposed just the top of the skin on his chest, and it also had red splotches all over it. Lucy recognized this as one of his signature traits of complete embarassment. "It's just so," she whispered, her eyes flickered up to meet his, finding her breath catch at his loving gaze. "Beautiful. Why do you want me to wear it?" He did not answer her straight away, but reached out and ran his own fingers over the necklace softly.

"It was my mothers. A present from my father. When he gave it to her," he took it from her hand and walked behind her. "He told her that it would protect her while he was away, and would give her comfort to know that he would always come back." He brought the necklace over her head, clasping it at her neck and pulling her hair from under the chain. Lucy's hand automatically went to rest over the small heart, a deep blush gracing her cheeks. The fact that he was entrusting her with something so special to his family showed her how much he truly cared for her. "I do not like that you are going off into the forest alone," he mumbled, taking her hand to turn her back around to face him, his dark eyes boring into her lighter blue ones. His stare was intense, giving her quite the amount of embarassment, but for some reason, she could not look away. "And my father had spoken of how well it kept my mother safe while she was alive, I want you safe." He brought a hand up to rest on her cheek, and Lucy found herself leaning into it. "You are the truest friend that I have met in Narnia, Lucy Pevensie, and I could not bear it if something happened to you." She could not speak, for there was nothing that could be said that would describe how she felt. A sob escaped the back of her throat, and Lucy stepped forward, closing the space between herself and the prince and wrapped her arms around his waist. His arms automatically wrapped around her small frame, holding her in one of his warm, caring embraces. She had never had a more wonderful best friend.

Lucy lost the diamond as soon as she stepped through the portal back to her world.

The sun was just about to set over the lake and the boys began to build a fire as the air got a chill. Fifteen year old Lucy tugged her sweater tighter around herself and smiled at her friend as she finished her story.

"I told my mom that I would do what I wanted, and to stop bugging me about every step I take that isn't in her master plan," Lindy finished, rolling her eyes and tossing her long blonde hair over her shoulder. "I mean, come on, who cares if I'm bombing in science class? No one prepares for university this early. I'm fifteen! I want to have a life, and not be stuck with my nose stuffed in a textbook for the next three years!" Everyone laughed, nodding their heads with agreement as they went on about there own parental problems. Lucy wanted to speak up and say that yes, people do need to start worrying about university when they turn fourteen, and that she ought to give her mother a little more respect when she is only being concerned. But of course, she would not do that, for she knew the look her best friend of seven years would give her. Lindy and Lucy were polar opposites, Lucy was the brains and imagination while Lindy was the outgoing and spontaneous one. Lindy knew nothing of Narnia, and Lucy wanted to keep it that way. She knew that she would be accused of being barking mad, and told to "step out of fairytale land and join us in the real world." Lucy was shy normally, but that was what Lindy was for, to push her, or rather, force her into being social. For instance, Lucy had no interest in coming to this bonfire tonight, but she had practically been dragged out of the house, away from her homework. Lindy meant well, but sometimes, Lucy wanted to stand up for herself.

"Lucy!" A deeper, much more male voice called to her from a short distance, and Lucy looked like a deer caught in headlights as she was faced with a big problem. A well built teenage boy with sandy blonde hair and dark green eyes. Landon. This guy had been trying to get her to date him since she had been in the eigth grade, and he was quite the persistent one. Being three years older than her, Lucy had always assumed that he would give up and leave her alone as soon as someone older and more attractive caught his eye, but sadly, this never happened. Things didn't seem to add up as to why he was here, because he really wasn't in Lucy and Lindy's circle of friends. Lucy elbowed Lindy in the side.

"Do you have any idea why Landon is walking towards me?" She muttered as discreetly as possible. "With great speed?" Lindy waved her off with a sweeping of her hand.

"I invited him of course," she answered casually, twirling some golden hair around her finger. Lucy's jaw dropped. Typical Lindy move.

"You-why?" Lucy hissed, elbowing her again with much more force. Lindy did it back to her, before looking over Lucy's shoulder and smirking evily.

"Hello, Lucy," Landon said in an overly-friendly voice, and Lucy rolled her eyes before turning around and giving him a fake sweet smile.

"Hello Landon." His eyes seemed to light up when she addressed him, and this made her blush. He wasn't really good at hiding his attraction to her. Though, he didn't seem to mind that she, and everyone else, knew about it. He was rather confident, and seemed so sure that, eventually, Lucy would say yes to being his girlfriend. Especially since he normally only had to walk past a girl and flash her a smile before she would fall into his arms.

"I was just wondering if you'd like to go for a walk with me?" He queried, throwing her what she had to admit was a dazzling smile, his perfectly white teeth also perfectly straight. She grinned sheepishly, tucking some hair behind her ear and looking over her shoulder to where Lindy was listening in closely. Lucy knew that if she said no, then he would only try again five minutes later, so she midaswell.

"Sure," she muttered with a shrug, not seeing the harm in it. She was taken aback when he laced his fingers through hers, tugging her away from her friends and along the side of the lake. She wanted to tug her hand away, and scold him for touching her, but she found that she couldn't resist the warmth he was emitting with the cold night air beating against her cheeks.

"You look beautiful tonight," he complimented, flashing her that smile again and squeezing her hand. Lucy's cheeks flushed, she was not used to being referred to in such a manner and she sort of liked it. "So, I'm curious," he started, gaining her attention as she turned to look up at him. "Why haven't we gone on a date before?" She blinked a few times, surprised by his forwardness and stuttered slightly with her answer, not really thinking before she spoke.

"W-well, this isn't a date, L-Landon,"she closed her eyes tightly, inwardly scolding herself for looking and sounding so dumb. He chuckled.

"I never said it was, but we could make it one if you'd like," he suggested, raising an eyebrow to her in question. Lucy wanted to slap him in a way, he was just so nervy. Landon was the type of older, athletic guy who was captain of all the sports teams and thought that every girl ought to just fall all over him. Lucy wasn't the type of girl to fall for that sort of thing, because she liked the think that she knew a heart breaker when she saw one, and Landon midaswell have that stamped to his forehead. But, his eyes were so captivating, and smile so dazzling, and Lucy caught herself staring. She shook her head, snatching her hand away.

"No. I've told you a million times, Landon. I don't want to go out with you," she huffed, crossing her arms over her chest and looking away from him towards the lake. She felt his presence growing closer to her own, and shifted uncomfortably where she stood. She felt her back getting warmer as he got closer.

"I really don't see what the problem is..." He muttered, shaking his head in disbelief. Lucy couldn't believe what she had just heard, and saw him give a startled jump when she whipped around to face him, pointing an accusing finger at him.

"I know the kind of guy you are, Landon. You are a pretty boy jock who thinks that he can have any girl that he wants with a snap of his fingers. The only reason that you've pursued me for so long is because I'm hard to get, because I'm not falling for your little game. I refuse to be just another name on your long list of girlfriends, Landon. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I am not that easy to persuade." She gave him one last threatening glare, as if daring him to take a step closer to her. She wasn't afraid to get slappy if she had to. He merely shrugged, letting out a defeated sigh.

"You're right. I do like you because you aren't easy, it's different for me. You aren't like any girl I've ever met, Lucy, you're definitley something else." He didn't try to take her hand, or close in on her at all. But he did look right into her eyes, and she couldn't find anything in his green orbs other than sincerity. "You aren't stuck up like all of the other girls I've dated. You're nothing like Lindy, always trying to be a rebel and look cool. You don't dumb yourself down just to get guys to like you, you actually try in school, and you're nice. I'm sorry Lucy," he shrugged again, chuckling nervously as he ran a hand through his hair. He looked sort of out of his comfort zone. "But I really do like you." Lucy felt a huge lump in her throat, and was afraid that if she opened her mouth to speak, that some sort of stuttering, retarded animal noise would come out. He completely caught her off guard, shattering her whole theory about him completely. She wanted so badly to be able to see some sort of deception in the way he spoke to her, so that she could call him out on it and slap him across the face, but he seemed so truthful. So real. "Oh, crap. I've made you uncomfortable, haven't I?" He did that nervous chuckle again, and it was really cute. "This is why I don't usually come across like this, cause girls think it's stupid-"

"It isn't," Lucy almost screamed at him in a rather high-pitched voice. Her cheeks instantly turned a rosy red and she averted her gaze. "I mean-you aren't stupid. T-that was actually really...sweet." There was an awkward silence, during which time Landon gained some courage and inched closer to her. "Maybe I misjudged you," she whispered, standing on her tip toes to brush her lips over his cheek, giggling when she felt his skin gather heat.

"So-uh, will you give me a shot?" He asked hopefully, no longer looking stuck up and forward at all, but polite. Lucy bit her lip nervously, nodding her head slowly. Landon laughed, looking thoroughly pleased as he took her hand and gave it a little squeeze.

One week later...

A high-pitched squeal came from Lucy as Landon tickled her sides from behind her, resting his head on her shoulder, looking down at her textbook. She pushed him away, swatting playfully at his arm while he gave her that smile and re-took his seat next to her in the library chair. All around them, annoyed glares were being shot in their direction from their fellow students, and one extremely piercing glare and obnoxiously loud shushing noise from the librarian, Mrs. Wilson. Lucy clapped a hand over her mouth to stop the loud noises of amusement from getting through, while Landon's shoulders shook with silent laughter. After she finally gathered herself back together, Lucy shoved her boyfriend's shoulder one last time and gestured back to their books.

"Alright, alright, enough. We're supposed to be studying. This homework is due next period, remember?" She said pointedly, making sure that she sounding as naggy as possible, just to get on his nerves. It worked, because she saw him roll his eyes dramatically.

"It's just so boring Lucy," he muttered, plumping his head in his hand. "Can't we do something more entertaining?" Well this had to be good, so she gave in.

"Like...?" She pressed, raising her eyebrow at him questioningly. The corners of his mouth turned up slowly as his smile became wider.

"Like..." he whispered as he leaned forward, catching her off guard as she gasped lightly just before she moved herself, wanting the space to go between the more quickly. She was a bundle of nerves, but they were excited ones, as this would be her first kiss. There was now only centimeters seperating them, until...

"Lucy, what do you think you're doing?" An all too familiar voice hissed, and Lucy groaned as Edmund's hand wrapped around her upper arm and he tugged her away from Landon, who looked a right side pissed off. "You should be getting to class." He stated, but it sounded more like an order. Lucy fought off the urge to stomp on his foot as she gathered her books in a flustered hurry and dashed out of the library.

So there is chapter 1! I'm really excited about this story because I've had the idea for it for a long while now, and am happy to finally get started. I can't wait to hear what you guys think, for this chapter and as the story goes on. Well, I'm really really tired and want to get some sleep so I'll probably start the next chapter tommorow and it'll probably be up some time tommorow. Thanks for reading!
