Inside the labyrinth, Mary Sue was running. Three of the pinks were running behind her and she could only guess that they might have recognized her as the one they had cornered at the stone table. Either that, or they actually thought she knew something about the males who she had pretended to have seen, but who were not there at all. From all around, she could hear excited squeals emerging, sounding as though she was in the middle of pig calling contest instead of a labyrinth. After some time had passed, the echoes of sound suddenly disappeared, thus leaving the area completely quiet.

By this time, the early morning sunlight was shining in through the large bushes that made up the labyrinth. She could feel a small amount of warmth, but not enough to distinguish what was going on around her. Dudley's words reentered her consciousness as she regarded how the three pinks had sunk to the ground and the girls were now stuffing Turkish delight into their mouths as though the sweets made up their very life force.

She watched in absolute disgust as the girls realized that they were not changing back into pinks, but instead were molting away. A small smirk covered her face as she stood watching as bunches of blonde hair started falling from their heads. As the strands of molting blonde locks hit the ground, the light yellow color meshed together with the pink from the molting dresses, thus mixing together to create a pumpkin orange color glop with the consistency of molasses.

"What is happening to me?" One of the girls moaned.

"Eat more," her friend instructed and Mary Sue watched as the three girls continued to stuff bite after bite of Turkish delight in their mouths.

Oh man, is this ever disgusting? Mary Sue thought, but continued to watch as the girls continued to molt, the pink disappearing and soon they were left dressed in blue jeans and sweatshirts. One of the girls looked up at Mary Sue and spoke. "Why aren't you changing back?"

"Are you kidding?" Mary Sue asked with a smirk. "Maybe I look like this in real life." She watched as the girls regarded her with wonder, but she remained standing some feet away from them. Eventually, one of them spoke.

"Why won't you help us?" She asked as her eyes faded from being a bright blue to a dull hazel color.

"Why should I? Who helped Dudley when he was being tormented on the schoolyard? Who came to my rescue when I was forced to eat Turkish delight at the stone table? Now that you three are alone, you have no one to help you, and the only thing that Turkish delight is going to enhance is your waistline."

With that she started to turn away.

"You can't leave us here," one of the girls moaned.

"Watch me, oh, and by the way, none of the kings are actually stupid enough to come into this place, and even Aslan has gone into hiding. You came into this labyrinth on your own accord, now let's see you try and find a way out."

"You're lying, King Peter will rescue us, and he will no doubt make us princesses in the court," the second girl said.

"Dudley was right, that only changed their appearance, they're still as pathetic as they had always been," Mary Sue grumbled and started to make her way back through the labyrinth in the direction of the exit, the thread she wound around her hand as she walked.

All around her, she could see that girls were either stuffing sweets into their mouths, molting or both. After several minutes of watching, Mary Sue pulled the small bottle of honeydew out of her dress pocket and went over to a group of girls. "Do you want some of what I have?" She asked. "There's no point in leaving you to suffer like this."

Several of the girls looked up at her, but after some time had passed, they weakly nodded.

One by one, Mary Sue administered the honeydew and watched as the girls miraculously transformed back to themselves. She continued this task until all the girls she could find had been given some of the antidote and were once more normal (if one could call it that).

Moments after the last girl had been treated; she made her way towards the entrance where she met with the small group that had assembled. "It's over," she said as she approached Aslan. "I gave every girl I found some of the honeydew and they started to turn normal again." She looked at Dudley. "I can understand why you did all of this, but I'm glad that you realized that you didn't have to stoop to their level." She smiled impishly. "But, something tells me that Cheerleading will never be the same again."

"What do you mean?" Mary Beth asked.

"Well," Mary Sue said with a snicker. "The speed in which those girls were eating Turkish delight would indicate to me that their hips would probably no longer fit through an average sized door."

Dudley shrugged. "Not really, I sort of did this with reduced calorie sweets."

"Such a pity," Mary Sue said with a smirk. "It would have been so nice to see them blow up like the blueberry girl in that Willy Wonka film."

Lucy shrugged her shoulders not fully understanding what she had said, but the other girls began to giggle. After several moments, the youngest queen spoke. "You saved the men here."

Aslan nodded. "You did, and before I send you all back to your world, I think I ought to send all of those girls back home and give you some extra time." As he spoke, the entire entrance to the labyrinth disappeared and Mary Beth looked at him.

"You were able to find the portal?" She asked.

"Anything that affects Narnia, I can find," the lion said confidently as King Peter, King Edmund, Tumnus, and the beavers ran over to them.

"Is the battle over?" Peter asked drawing his sword.

"Hey, hot shot, hold off playing hero, you don't want put an eye out with that thing," Mary Sue dodged her way away from him and Tumnus covered his mouth with his hand and listened. "We were brought here to do a job and that's what we did. Now, I don't know if we saved Narnia, I mean you guys probably would have figured things out without us having come here."

"But you did save Narnia, Mary Sue," Mr. Beaver said.

"I only did what I had to do and speaking of which, Aslan, what was that task you wanted me to do once I got to Cair Paravel anyway?" Mary Sue asked.

The mighty lion smiled. "Your task was to discover the value of your friends, and to learn that friends show up in the strangest of situations, but now you will be able to recognize them. You weren't brought into Narnia to be a great warrior, Mary Sue, you came here with another task in mind, and that was to find in yourself the leader that you are. Through that, you have become a lady of words and wisdom."

"A lady?" Mary Sue asked. "Me?"

"Bow to me," he said.

"I beg your pardon," she arched an eyebrow.

"I want you to bow to me," he repeated those same words. "Not as you would a king, for that is what I am, but bow to me as you would a friend."

"A friend? I don't bow to my friends, I'm on the same level as them," she argued.

"Exactly, but Mary Sue this is part of your task, now I want you to bow," he commanded.

The young girl lowered her head as Aslan placed a paw on her shoulder. "Now arise, 'Mary Sue Pink Slain', Lady of Narnia." He turned and faced Mary Beth, and gave her the same title. "Now, whatever happens, never forget what you, Daughters of Eve, have done."

Mary Sue smiled, but as she looked down at herself, she swallowed. "Aslan, before you send us home, would you please do something about this pink menace?"

The lion inhaled sharply and as he exhaled, Mary Sue's dress changed back into the jeans and t-shirt she had been wearing when she first came into Narnia. The squashed piece of bubble gum was still in the pocket and her hair was once more cropped short. "Fish, right?" Mary Sue asked with a coy grin on her face.

"Yes, well, I met some penguins who were on their way to a place called Madagascar and they introduced me to a brand of sushi, and well, being a lion of many tastes, I thought I'd give it a try and discovered it to be quite tasty."

"Whatever you say, but might I suggest that next time, you not forget the after dinner breath mint?" Mary Sue chided as she nudged him with her elbow.

The mighty lion chuckled and looked at her with a nod. "I won't forget," he said and looked at the three remaining children, Alice, Donna, and Christie had all gone home with the other girls, and Dudley, Mary Beth, and Mary Sue were the only children remaining. "Are you three ready to go home now?"

"That would depend, will I be able to stay in touch with Mary Beth and Dudley after we get there?" She asked.

"Yes, they live in the same town, they just go to a different school than you, you can see them any time you want," Aslan affirmed as he looked at the other children. "And you can go and see Mary Sue play tomorrow at midtown ball park."

The two children nodded.

"So, my task is now over?" She asked.

"Yes," he said. "You can say good-bye now." He backed away from them as the four monarchs came over to them.

"We thank you all for what you did to help us," King Peter said.

"It was our pleasure, Your Majesty," Mary Beth responded formally.

"Have a safe trip home," Lucy said.

"I'm sure Aslan Air will make sure of that," Mary Sue said coyly, but embraced the youngest Narnian monarch.

Seconds later, the four Pevensies were gone and the only ones left were the two beavers and Tumnus.

"We're going to miss you, Mary Sue," Mrs. Beaver said.

"I'll miss you too," she said and embraced the two beavers one after the other.

"Thankfully you're not still covered in pink," Mr. Beaver said as he and his wife waved their paws at the three children and left.

Finally, Tumnus remained. "Take care, Daughter of Eve," the Faun said gently.

"You too," she said, and somewhere in the corner of her eye, she could feel a tear forming. No, I'm not going to cry, that would be too stupid, she thought to herself, but after several moments, she shook her head. "I'm going to miss you, Mr. Tumnus, thanks for helping me after I got here," she whispered softly.

"I shall miss you too, Mary Sue," he extended his hand to her and when she accepted it, he leaned down and formally kissed it. "Never forget Lady Mary Sue Hudson, that you are a Narnian hero, that you found your way by being a friend, and that even though you may not think love is a strength, it is a far better thing than being pink."

Mary Sue laughed softly. "I won't forget Mr. Tumnus," she said, and impulsively, she leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Good-bye my friend."

"Mary Sue, you kissed me," he said smiling impishly at her.

"Yeah, don't let it go to your head," she smiled impishly as she watched the Narnian castle vanished before her eyes and then found herself standing back on the street where she had been at the beginning of the adventure.

As she stared down the street, she could feel the warmth of the sun on her arms. She rubbed her face as she suddenly heard her name being called and she turned around.

"Mary Sue?" Two voices chimed and she watched as two girls from her school's softball team were running towards her. "We need your help."

"What is it?" She asked.

"We just found out that we're scheduled to play the best team in the district tomorrow afternoon," one of the girls said, her voice out of breath.

"The best team? I thought we were the best team," Mary Sue objected.

"We were, but now we're up against a team that hasn't been beat even once this season," the girl said.

"Oh and what team would that be?" Mary Sue asked.

"The Lions…"

Mary Sue covered her face with her hands and groaned.

The End.
