Evelyn grinned at Peter's sarcastic remark, but shared Edmund's reluctant attitude when he began counting. "You've got to be joking," she said, getting up.

Susan smiled at Lucy's excitement, "You won't find me!" Winking at Evelyn, she quickly disappeared into the hallway.

"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

Lucy and Felicity raced down the hallway together once outside the room, and after being rebuffed from a curtained off room by Edmund, both eventually found themselves in the wardrobe room. Felicity stayed by the door, while Lucy walked over to the still-sheet-covered wardrobe and looked at it curiously.

(Ooh, getting into it now!)

After running back and forth a few times, Susan finally found a large, ancient chest, which she promptly opened and stepped into. Sitting down and pulling the lid closed, she was suddenly reminded of the putrid smell of mothballs.

"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

(Hehe, yup! Now it's gonna get good..)
Felicity sighed softly and started to open the door to leave, but a sudden gasp from behind her caused her to stop and turn. She then gasped softly as well, seeing Lucy standing in front of a magnificent wardrobe. "Whoa..." she murmured, walking towards Lucy, who suddenly opened the door to the wardrobe. "Come on, we can hide in here!" Lucy said softly before stepping into the wardrobe, and Felicity promptly followed, and left the door slightly ajar behind them.

(I'm glad you didn't forget the door part! I always have remembered that part, don't know why...)

Susan waited breathlessly as she heard Peter nearing 50. "Oh great, now I have to go to the washroom." She thought. "This always happens."

"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

(Yeah, that always stuck out in my mind, so I always manage to remember it too...*shrugs* Kinda odd, but oh well..)

Lucy backed up slowly, pushing the coats out of the way as she did so, and Felicity stayed by the slightly opened wardrobe door for a minute, listening to Peter counting. She then sighed after a little bit and turned to move farther into the wardrobe, and upon not seeing Lucy, figured that she must be behind one of the coats. Great place to hide.. she thought as she moved towards the back of the wardrobe, though within a few moments, she came out into a forest with snow covering the ground. "What the..?" she murmured softly, then saw Lucy nearby, staring around in amazement.

Evelyn walked out of the room, not wanting to be the only one not hiding. She hurried up a staircase and into a hallway. She decided on something simple - she simply went into a room and closed the door.

(Skipping meeting Tumnus...too time consuming.)Before much longer, Peter had finally almost stopped counting, when the two girls made their way out of the wardrobe. They heard Peter say, "Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred....ready or not, here I come." and Lucy rushed out of the room first, shouting that they were back and all right, and Felicity followed close behind her. Out in the hallway, Edmund sharply told them to shut up, just as Peter walked towards them. "Seems you three haven't quite got the idea of this game.." he said, shaking his head slightly.

Evelyn heard voices, and came out behind Susan, who had been in the same hallway. She looked from Lucy, to Felicity, to Edmund, to Peter.

"But weren't you wondering where we were?" Lucy asked, looking at Peter. "That's the point!" Edmund then said sharply, and Felicity gave him a nasty look.

"Did I miss something?" asked Evelyn confusedly, her eyes darting among them. She looked at Susan as she came up beside her.

"Lucy and Felicity are going on about some magical land they think they found in a wardrobe." Edmund said nastily before anyone else could say anything. "But it was there! We both went!" Lucy argued.

Evelyn looked at Felicity and Lucy. Felicity never lied...but a magical land? Well, perhaps.... She decided to make sure. "Felicity, are you telling the truth? This isnt' something to lie about."

Susan shook her head. "Don't be silly, you two. We've only just started the game a moment ago, and you were there then."

"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

Evelyn looked at Susan, then back at the two younger girls. She thought for a moment and said, "Well...perhaps we can look, just to be sure." She gave Susan and Peter a look that said, 'If it's true, it's true. If not, we're just humoring them.'

[Hey...if it'll help, I'll play the Beavers later on.]
