Author's Note:okay so I haven't worked on this story for awhile. It probably isn't that funny because this is my first time writing humour. I hope you enjoy! I do not own these characters except the ones I made up.

Princesses and Paperwork


"I think it went in this room's window," Scarlet said opening the door she had pointed to.

"I think you're right," Susan agreed.

Sure enough it was that room, but what Susan and Scarlet saw was something they both wished they hadn't seen... The arrow had gotten stuck in the wall. However, that's not what the problem was... It was less than an inch above Princess Ariana's head.

Scarlet and Susan stared first at Princess Ariana, whose face was in shock, and then at Edmund, who looked deeply concerned... Well he was trying to look concerned but was actually trying not to laugh his head off. After staring at each other for a few minutes Scarlet finally came to her senses and rushed over to the wall the arrow went through.

"Sorry, Ed," Scarlet said trying to pull the arrow out.

But before Edmund could respond Princess Ariana started to speak. "Ed? How dare you call Edmund 'Ed'! You, servant girl, should at least call him King Edmund, preferably King Edmund the Just! Who do you think you are?" Ariana yelled at Scarlet.

Someone who wants to kick you're butt If you keep on talking! Gosh what an idiot! Didn't she come to the coronation? Scarlet thought.

Scarlet didn't respond, but kept pulling on the arrow. Susan finally came over to help.

"We are sorry, Ed," Susan apologized marveling at how deep the arrow went into the wall.

"Edmund! Who are these disrespectful girls?!" Ariana demanded turning to Edmund.

"Yes, who are we, Ed?" Scarlet and Susan asked finally getting the arrow out and turning around with mischievous smiles. Scarlet and Susan now took a good look at Princess Ariana. She was princess of Archenland, but her dress looked like something Queen Elizabeth I would've worn than anyone in Narnia, let alone Archenland would wear. Her face was powdered and her lips didn't look like the healthy pink color they're suppose to be they looked extremely red. Now her voice was very annoying. It sounded like she was sick, but then it had a 'I'm-better-than-you' tone. Scarlet and Susan looked at Princess Ariana's hair, it was high on her head and it looked ridiculous. Scarlet and Susan tried to keep a straight face, and luckily they could.

"Princess Ariana, were you at the coronation yesterday?" Edmund asked.

"Well not the coronation. Just the party," Princess Ariana said a little embarrassed.

"Oh, then Let me introduce you to my sister and friend. This is Queen Susan the gentle, and this is Queen Scarlet the radiant," Edmund said pointing to both girls.

"How do you do?" The two girls asked while bowing and with smiles that looked polite, but were actually just smiles of trying to keep back the became harder and harder because Princess Ariana's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

"How are you?" She asked weakly.

"Oh fine," Scarlet said still smiling.

The Princess finally started to come back to herself.

"Oh, Edmund! These dears are adorable! How many years younger?" She asked trying to make an insult.

"Actually Scarlet's my age and Susan's a year older than me," Edmund replied missing the insult to the two girls.

"Oh, you would never know! You're so much older looking, and mature, and handsome," Princess Ariana gushed while shooting a glare at Scarlet and Susan.

Edmund mouthed the words 'help me', but the two girls shook their heads their faces were starting to grow red from holding back so much laughter. Scarlet and Susan both turned and nodded to each other silently deciding who she say the next insult.

"It's a good thing Edmund likes older women. How much older are you?" Susan questioned even though she actually knew how old Ariana was.

"I'm actually a year younger," Princess Ariana replied.

"Oh you would never know! you look so much older!" Susan exclaimed trying to make it sound pleasant. Then purposely saying it in a loud enough whisper Susan leaned over to Scarlet and added, " I thought about eighty years older would have been the right estimate."

Ariana colored with anger and began to pout. Scarlet and Susan held back their laughter and were about to say something, but decided they had won and to leave before Ariana could make a comeback .

"Bye, Ed," Susan and Scarlet said walking out of the room and closing the door. However the door wasn't thick enough to silence the shrieks of laughter of the girls, the stumbling around because of laughing so hard, and it especially didn't block the sound of one of the girls falling over from laughter.

A smug grin crept across Edmund's face while he remembered the words the two girls had said to Princess Ariana. The Princess noticed the grin, but she took it the wrong way.

"Where were we?" She asked.

"What? Eww! No where!" Edmund exclaimed.


Peter sat diligently at his desk of random paperwork. Everything that was asked of him was fine so he just signed his name and went on. If he had been cursed with writing a response he would write something like this:

(Whoever he was writing),

Yes proceed with what you're doing, you have the High King's blessing.

High King Peter the magnificent

Then he would roll it up and put a cord around it and throw it in a pile of scrolls. He suddenly looked up because he heard laughter... Girls' laughter. He quickly stood up and walked over to the study door and popped his head out to take a look around. He saw Scarlet and Susan coming his way.

"Scarlet! Susan! Come in and visit me for awhile!" He called.

Scarlet and Susan came into the study still laughing and wiping tears from their eyes.

"What's so funny?" Peter asked curiously.

"Edmund-"

Bursts of laughter.

"Princess Ariana-"

Harder Bursts of Laughter.

"She turned so red!"

Louder bursts of laughter.

that was all Peter could make out of the two girls explanation.

Scarlet and Susan leaned against Peter's desk. They accidentally bumped the table so hard they knocked over a ink stand. The ink spilled all over pieces of paper. Peter saw the mess got angry.

"Both of you out!" He shouted.

"Sorry, Peter!" Scarlet and Susan said between bursts of laughter.

The two girls walked out of the study and shut the door.

Peter was so angry he decided to write a letter to the Queens, but of course he wouldn't send it. He sat down, dipped his pen in some ink, and started to write. Here's how it went:

Dear Queen,

I am so angry with you I could declare war! If you weren't laughing at some absurd thing you wouldn't have spilled this disgusting black goop all over my work! War I tell you! War! War! War! However I'm too much of a gentleman to do that.

High King Peter the Magnificent

P.S If all you do is laugh over some odd joke then I have to say you are a terrible rulers!

Peter felt much better he rolled up the piece of paper and put it next to another piece of paper on his desk. He had written a response to someone and it was the only letter he had put any thought in. Thus he wanted to keep it separate from the other letters. Peter definitely did to want to send the angry note to anyone, but he didn't want to throw it away just in case he got angry again, he would read the note and picture the faces of the two girls. Suddenly, a faun walked in.

"Sir, do you have the response to the Queen of the Lone Islands?" the faun asked.

"yes, I do. It's a response to a joke she heard. It was quite delightful," Peter said holding the piece of paper next to the angry note.

"I never quite understood why there is a queen of the Lone islands. Aren't you and all the other King and Queens rulers of the Lone islands too?" The faun asked before leaving.

"Well she's just their queen to an extent, but I have some power over her. However, she makes the islands decisions," Peter explained. "In fact she can declare war to anyone she wants."

"I see. Well good day!" The faun said before leaving.

"Good day!" Peter replied.

Then he went back to his paperwork.
