When; Thursday, August 21st
Rating; G (?)
Characters; Peter Pevensie

lionrampante and anyone who was invited!
Summary; Peter's turning 17, and Lucy decided he needed a surprise party to celebrate this momentous occasion!
Log;

Lucy had everyone help decorate; she was pleased with the results. Red banners and a sign that proclaimed Happy Birthday, a big chocolate cake courtesy of Claire, and a table brimming with presents. It wasn't as grand a party as what they would have had in Narnia, but she knew Peter would understand, and it was certainly better than his 16th birthday where the war had stopped a lot of the cakes and cookies because of the sugar ration.

Now they were just waiting for the guest of honor to show up with Caspian, who had been charged with bringing him home as soon as they were finished.

[He takes her hand and walks her out onto the patio]

You know, it's a very pretty night.

[Her steps are not far after his.]

It is.

[Sirius likes to observe pretty things. Susan herself finds it difficult not to look at him and admire too. And they kissed. That was sudden but...very pleasant.]

[He sits up on the railing and starts to fiddle with his wand, and suddenly there's a crown of flowers, tiny and delicate and glowing on Susan's head.]

So what gifts did Father Christmas get you, Susan? That you found in the basement?

[He's not making fun of her - he's totally sincere]

[Magic, even though it's under Sirius's influence feels like home, like Narnia . She ducks her head a little as the carefully woven flowers sit in her hair.]

Thank you.

[Smiles and looks upward to see the blooms hanging in her vision.]

He gave me a bow and a quiver full of arrows. They were very useful then, I'm sure they'll be useful now.

You're welcome.

[He's beaming]

Really? You're an archer?

[Susan leans against the railing as well.]

Yes. I didn't think I would be, it came naturally.

Do you like it?

It was a necessity at the time, we were in a bit of trouble running from a very bad woman.

[That seems so very far away in time as well as space.]

But I do like it. I've missed shooting.

Yeah?

[Small smile]

I'd like to see that sometime.

She met her end rather quickly. That's what becomes of a person when they've no kindness at all.

[Serious but somehow can't keep from being amused with the company.]

Would you? I'll be happy to show you. Have you ever handled a bow?

[He smiles wider]

Not once. I'm sure I'd find a way to poke my own eye out if I did.

[She laughs a little. Even though it's a dreadful mental image.]

Under the right direction that wouldn't happen.

Would you be that direction, Madam Susan?

Certainly. Unless you know another archer?

I do not.

So I'd be honored to have you show me.

I'd be honored to show you.

[Smiles.]

What do you enjoy doing, if it isn't archery?

Quidditch.

[Grins]

That game that you play up in the air.

[She nods as though it is perfectly normal.]

I think you'll have to show me that as well. I think that archery is a little less dangerous.

I promise I will. I'll take you as soon as you'd like to go.

The same goes for me as well.

[To be fair of course.]

Sirius?

Yes?

[Scoots a little closer to him.]

Thank you for being kind to me.

Oh, Susan.

You don't have to thank me for that.

I will anyway.

[Leans closer to him to kiss him.]

[He kisses her again - they're addictive, those kisses]

Yeah? I'm more than happy to oblige.
