Ooh! That looks like fun! And it's hard to not know the rules of a snowball fight.

Here is someone new, looking about ten or eleven, with winter-appropriate clothes (except for no hood, letting that improbably full and shiny hair flow). With a snowball. "Hark! A new challenger approaches!"

Lucy throws a snowball at her

Susan throws a snowball at Lucy while her back is turned.

Zoe almost dodges the snowball but it hits her arm. She tosses her own snowball at Susan overhand and immediately starts scooping up a new one, grinning. "Taking advantage of distraction. Sneaky!"

(grinning) "Terribly underhanded"

(two snowballs at Susan simultaneously)

Susan successfully dodges these snowballs.

Wheee snowball fight! "Take this!" Fast snowball... Which falls apart in midair. "Oops." She prepares to dodge.

(returning snowball, and glee) "did you just do magic!"

"What uh no! I just threw it too hard." She dodges acrobatically. "Snow is fun isn't it!"

Lucy begins making a bigger snowball.

She'll drop the subject of magic for now.

And Susan takes advantage of her distraction again

The fun snowball fight proceeds! Their new friend makes sure not to cheat very much. But is she dodging a bit too well? And that hair isn't allowing itself to get frayed or snowy at all.

Lucy is also surprisingly agile. Miss Susan Pevensie dodges well too, but not to the point where it would be especially remarkable.

Once she is exhausted, Lucy sits down in the snow and beckons Zoe over. Susan stands by her.

She bounces over, as full of energy as she was at the start. "That was fun! You two are fun!"

"I'm afraid I'll talk about something more serious now." says Lucy, in a more serious manner. "Do you have anyone else to talk to about your magic?"

"Aww, poo. You could tell." She looks very put-out. "I was trying to keep it a secret this time."

They pause to think what to say. Then:

"We're already familiar with magic, we aren't going to think you're weird over it. Or we don't think of weirdness the way most people do. And we won't tell anyone if you don't want us to."

"We ought to tell Edmund and Peter we met someone with magic. But they won't tell anyone else either. Do you know about other worlds?"

"Oh yeah I go to those all the time! It's kind of my job or something. I dunno." She appears a ball of sparkly light in her hands and starts bouncing it off the ground.

"Lucy, Peter, Edmund and I grew up in another world where time passes more quickly than here, then got sent back to this one and put back into childrens' bodies. We got back there later, but by then most of the friends we'd had there were long dead.

I'm Susan and this is my sister Lucy. It's nice to meet you."

"Ooooh yeah time stuff is hard. I'm Zoe! Nice to meet you too! Wait wait you're not actually kids like me?" She kicks the little glowing ball away into the snow, looking serious for once.

"I'm afraid not. If you'd like to meet other kids who know about magic, we could introduce you to our cousin and his friend. They've also been to Narnia, but they were only there for a few months."

"That could be fun! Sure! I don't hafta leave for a while and you two haven't even tried to yell at me yet even though you're adults in disguise."

"They're visiting us for Christmas, and we live three blocks from here on Finchley Road, if you want to meet them now?"

"Yeah! Which way is It? Want a shortcut?"

"This way. And if you could make a shortcut I'd be glad to see."

With a snap of her fingers there is a hole in the air. With a faint orange outline, the correct street is visible on the other side. She steps through with a curtsey. "Cool huh?"

"Oh my!"

Lucy hops through and heads towards the Pevensies' house.

Susan also steps through.

Then, seeming calmly desperate and suddenly much more like an adult, she turns to Zoe, and asks:

"Zoe.

I'm thinking of a place in Germany. It would be very, very good if you could make a portal there. But it might also be dangerous."

The portal closes behind them.

"Pff, I laugh in the face of danger. But what's a Germany? Seems like serious business. Bleh."

"It is serious business. Germany is a country where the government is killing a lot of people. I'm hoping you can make portals to the places where people are kept prisoner before they're killed."

Meanwhile Lucy has gone inside to look for Jill and Eustace.

"Sounds like a poophead country, for sure. I dunno about fighting a country. Turns out worse tham before sometimes. Bleeeeh, serious business. I just wanna have snowball fights and play paddleball and stuff."

She sighs and starts walking towards her house

"Germany is already fighting a lot of people, 'though. They're at war against this country, and a lot of others. I don't think they'd be able to do much about it if we did rescue people from them.

Would it help if I told you more about what's going on? It sounds as though you're new to this world."

"It'd help if you didn't act like my mom. I could literally go anywhere and find people killing people. Well, almost anywhere."

"How did you get to this world, anyway? And what's the world you're from like?"

"My world was really cool! There were witches and wizards and summoners and void things and werewolves and sand magic people and angels and animals that could talk and vampires and people who were rocks and pirates and these cute fluffy people with a spaceship and hextech and spirits and ghosts and meditation magic and a whole bunch of cool heroes all over the place! Too bad it was so magic, that the whole place exploded when there was a big war. I... I ran away. I kinda miss it."

"Do you want a hug?"

"No thanks."

"There's lots of cool worlds out there. But that one was special, you know?"

"I think I do. I've only known two worlds, but I've spend half my life in each of them and I miss the Narnia I knew, and all the people I knew there, now that its a thousand years past and I can't go back. I'm trying to move on, but it's difficult."

She pauses in thought. And then Lucy and two children come outdoors.

"Nyeeeeh time stuff. Can't barely do time stuff. Hi, actual real kids!"

"Hi Zoe."

"Hi, Zoe.", say both the children shyly.

"Hi! I heard you all had a big adventure. It sounds scary but neat, as all good adventures are."

"Very scary but also marvelous, yes."

"I wanna hear about it!"

"Well, Eustace used to be unpleasant to me at school, but then- well, I suppose you should tell that part, Eustace?"

Eustace says, ashamedly.

"I fell into Narnia with Lucy and Edmund, and because I was beastly I turned into a dragon. And a magic lion helped me stop being a dragon and since then I've been trying not to be beastly but I don't always manage."

"I think he manages very well."

"A dragon! I know lots of kinds of dragons. It sounds like you turned into one of the mean kinds. Do people turn into things a lot in Narnia?"

"There was also an evil witch who turned into a snake. That's the only person I saw turn into something. People talked about a prince turned into a donkey and another evil witch who turned people into statues."

Excitedly: "What sorts of dragon do you know about? Are there really ones who bring rain?"

"I've met some water dragons. They live in the ocean and can spit water so hard it can blow away hills. Those guys were tough! And cool!"

"Did you find out whether it was fresh or salty water?"

"Salty. Blech. I can make it rain! It easiest if I steal rain from somewhere else, though."

"Well, there's a story where dragons used to live in an ocean in the Far East and carry the rain to the land in their mouths because the gods weren't doing it like they should have been."

"How do you make it rain?"

She takes one step that brings her halfway across the room with a brief flare of orange and blue. "Portals!"

"Portals to move the rain from one place to another?"

"What if you want to make rain without taking it from somewhere else?"

"I can boil up some ocean and do clouds. It's stupid hard and annoying though."

"So you use fire to make rain?"

"Portals seem really useful. Could you teach us how to make them?"

"Fire rain! Yep. All the rain comes from the ocean in the first place anyway. I can give people powers but they never last long. Plus teaching is boooring."

"If I could make portals I'd never have to worry about locked doors, and I could see my parents wherever they were in the world, and I could, visit my uncle and grandmother whenever I wanted to, and I could go and see Africa and China and India!"

"If you could make portals, it would still be dangerous for you to visit your father when he was near the Front."

"Could you take us to see China?"

"Probably! I don't know where China is. And I probably shouldn't show you guys anything really dangerous. I'm safe from anything less kaboomy than a star exploding, but you're not."

"China's a long way East of us. If I drew a map of the world, would you be able to take us to China?"

"Yeah, I could. I can go anywhere on this world I want to. I could go to some other world too but I'm not done with this one yet."

"Well, come inside and I'll find some paper."

Eustace leads them into the house

"Could you take us to other worlds?"

"...Ehhh one round trip between worlds probably won't put too much strain on your squishy bodies. I'll have to pick a good one."

Eustace gets a sketchbook and draws a map.

"We're here, in England. And China is there.

"Be right back!"

She steps through a portal that gives a glimpse of - multicolored clouds - and disappears.

Thirty seconds later, she steps back into the room from a paddy field. "I found some China farmers. There's actually a war here too I think... But not near this place."

The peasants in the background are abandoning their farms and scattering.

Lucy indicates the fleeing farmers.

"Zoe, I think you've frightened those people."

"Yeah. They called me 'devil from the stars'. I frighten a lot of people, you can't let it get to you."

Lucy sighs.

"I don't let it get to me. I don't suppose you can make people invisible?"

"Probably not. Not good invisible anyway."

"Well, then I suppose if they're already scared we might as well go to China."

Lucy walks though the portal. Edmund and Jill follow.

as does Susan.

"We shouldn't let the Japanese find out we're here."

"Oh, right."

and to Zoe

"the Japanese are the enemy here."

"If you say so." Shrug. "What'd you want to see in China anyway?"

"The rivers."

"There are three really big rivers here that people say used to be dragons, so Eustace wants to see them."

"Well, I'm not a book, do you have a map? Would you be able to see them from really really high up?"

"I suppose that depends how high up."

"So high up I need to boop you so you don't need air."
