Monthly Writing Contest #54

"Panic!"

Write a short scene in which a Narnian character suddenly panics. Preference given to humorous entries. Contests are judged at the end of each month. Winning entries will be posted here.

Example: Eustace awoke suddenly in a cold sweat. His eyes darted back and forth across his moonlight room in Harold and Alberta's house.

He groped for the book on his bedside table, feeling it's embossed cover. A proper storybook. He'd been dreaming of books with pictures of fat foreign children, and books on bug collecting, again.

"Just a dream," he sighed in relief. "It was onky a dream."

Honorable Mentions

Oreius Has a Point by Dearheart
Oreius: (with a smug smile on his face) I would just like to point out that we are soooooo much cooler than the Potter centaurs.

I wonder... by LionHugs
(peter and Susan sitting across from each other in a living room like area) peter: (looks out window) I wonder what Lu and Ed are doing right now?
Susan: (sighs) oh, they're probably bored out of their skulls
(switch to Lucy, Edmund, and eustace on the dawn treader looking out at ocean)
Lucy:... I wonder what Susan and Peter are doing right now.

Meeting The Family by Aslan's Breath
(Wide Shot, White Witch and Edmund sit in White Witch's sleigh.)

White Witch (Close up): Edmund? I would very much like to meet your family...

Edmund (Close Up): Well they're not here right now, but... (Pulls out open wallet. Inside, there are photos of the Pevensies)

Edmund: Here they are!

White Witch (Close Up): That wasn't exactly what I meant...

Aragorn as the older Caspian by Ariel_of_Narnia
close up of Caspian staring: "Who are you?"
close up of Aragorn (preferrably in the same or similar position): "I'm you in the future."

Planting Investments by Caspian
Setting: A glade in Narnia during MN

Uncle Andrew: I mean, look at my trousers! They're ruined! Ruined!

Digory: They're just trousers, Uncle Andrew. Can't you buy another pair when we get home?

Uncle Andrew: With what, my dear boy? It's not as if money grows on trees!

There is a blank moment, and then Uncle Andrew realizes what he's said and exactly where he is. (Or Polly and Digory exchange a look, and then glance at the tree of gold and tree of silver that are sticking out of the ground between them)

...Monopoly? by Faded Echoes
(Aslan's camp, LWW.)
Lucy: I wonder what's taking them so long?
Peter: I'm not sure, but we musn't rush them.
Lucy: But Peter - !
Speech buble from Aslan's tent: Ha! You're bankrupt!
Susan: Did the Witch just...?
Peter: ...I think I'll go check.
(Inside Aslan's tent. Peter's standing at the entrance, looking amazed. Aslan and Jadis are sitting/standing around something we can't see.)
Aslan: *sigh* Jadis, just because most of my money is in free parking doesn't mean I'm bankrupt. Considering you're on my hotel...
Jadis: Darn. Alright, you get to keep the boy. But you've still got to keep your promise. (gets up and leaves tent.)
Aslan: (looks satisfied) You'd think she knows by now that I always win in monopoly.

and the winner

Christmastime by Sarah the True
(Picture of Caspian, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy)
Caspian: You mean you don't get weapons for Christmas in your world? What do you get?
Susan: Well...
Edmund: Gift cards.

Peter: Clothes that don't fit.
Caspian:(Close-up) Uh...
