Brief note of explanation: For those of you who have indeed watched the Voyage of the Dawn Treader's Trailer, and gone off to cry in a corner, here is a tiny little fanfiction concerning Edmund's blue sword, and a couple other *coffs* things in there. Hope you like it! :)

Edmund Pevensie balanced himself precariously on the edge of the ship, watching the sky grow mysteriously greener and darker.

"Ed!" Lucy screamed and scrambled up to stand beside her brother. This movement toppled both of them off the starboard edge and they fell onto the wooden deck, heads knocking.

"OW!" Edmund glared at his sister. "What was that for? I was enjoying the dramatic screen time I'm getting here in the trailer, instead of Eustace."

Lucy stood up. "I don't care about screen time. We're being attacked!"

With that Edmund shot up and reached for his sword. Suddenly he stopped and stared at his weapon.

"It's...it's...BLUE!"

Lucy nodded. "Orcs! We're being raided by an Orc ship!"

But Edmund didn't notice. "It's so tacky! It's so...tacky!" he sputtered, running across the deck to Rhince. "I need a new sword! Someone bring me a new sword!"

While they were by the weapon room, Lucy ran in and reached for Susan's quiver, thankful that Caspian had thought to bring it. She figured her sister wouldn't mind, after all. "Besides," Lucy tried to assure herself. "Father Christmas really meant for us to share all our gifts." She fitted the quiver around herself and came back out.

Orcs were now spreading onto the ship. Was this the unfathomable fate Lilliandil had warned them about? Lucy fit an arrow to her, er, Susan's bow and brought down an ugly Urak-hai.

Then Lilliandil shot down from the sky, exploding the rest of the Orcs away in her brilliant blue UV light.

"Lilli!" Caspian ran to hug her. "You saved us!"

Ramandu's daughter stared at him. "Susan Pevensie called. She wants your commitment back."

"Susan...?" Caspian's eyes grew visibly wider. "Um...what Susan?"

"The Susan I saw while spying on you for years while in the sky," Lilliandil said, tapping her foot on the deck. She slapped him across the face and then shot back up into the sky.

Caspian stared longingly after her, tracing her path with a finger in the air.

"Did that finish off the Orcs, then?" Lucy asked, still seeing little yellow-rimmed dots in front of her eyeballs from Lilliandil's glow.

"It did," Drinian said, speaking for the mute Caspian. "At least for now."

Edmund pouted. "That just cut into my screen time."
