It was now summer holidays, and the children were out of school after weeks and months of studying for tests and working on assignments. They were so happy that school was over and they got to enjoy the good freedom from all the pressure and stuff they endured from there. But still, Dawn and the Pevensie siblings weren't allowed to hang around with each other, which they were very unhappy about. And they and their mothers tried to figure out some ideas of how they could let their children be allowed to be together as friends.

They came up with a plan. The mothers decided to go take a trip to the big park away from the city with their children and husbands where a lake was located, so their husbands could have a little talk with each other to get to know them more. Although Samuel and Henry were hesitant and kind of against of seeing each other, but they agreed with their wives about the plan. One summer, in the middle of July, the Pevensie and the Jameson families drove up to the park with Bingo so Samuel and Henry could have a talk with each other and to reconcile. The two fathers stood in front of each other, with their wives and children looking on nervously. Daniel was shooting a snobbish look at the Pevensie children.

"Samuel, I'm so sorry for everything back then." Henry apologized, looking like as he was really serious. Samuel looked down at the ground a little. "You'd better be." He grumbled through gritted teeth.

"Dear!" His wife reprimanded.

"What?" Samuel turned to her. Penelope gave him a stern look. Her husband groaned. Dawn noticed how solid and kind hearted her friends' father was. She could tell that he felt guilty and ashamed of how he was to her parents many years ago before she, her siblings and friends were born.

Henry sighed. "Truce?" He asked, reaching his hand out. Samuel thought and had an idea. "I challenge you to a fishing competition to see if I will forgive you." He smirked. Their wives and children's eyes went wide open. Henry shrugged and shook his hand. "Deal." He said.

"You're on." Samuel charged.

Henry went to the fishing rental place to rent a fishing tackle. "Dad, are you sure you're going to do this?" Susan asked her father worryingly. Henry nodded. "I'm sure, I think." He said. "But I'll try." His wife and his children nodded, but they were worried about his fishing safety as he only had a little experience with it.

Samuel went back to his car to get his fishing tools out of the trunk. His wife and children went after him. "Dad, why would you want to challenge Mr. Pevensie?" Jane asked her father, looking worried. "He said he was sorry." Samuel raised a brow at his daughter. "To see if he is worthy." He answered.

Dawn sighed. "But are you sure this is safe?" She asked. Samuel nodded. "I'm sure." He told her.

Penelope, Jane and Dawn sighed and rolled their eyes in disbelief. They couldn't agree with him challenging Henry into fishing to see if the Pevensies were worth forgiving. The two fathers went down to the lake, with their wives and children looking on to see how their fishing challenge goes. In the first round, Samuel caught three fishes and Henry caught two.

Everyone bit their lip. "I hope this thing gets worked out.." Helen murmured. Penelope nodded.

Then it was second round of the fishing. And this time, Henry caught two fishes and Samuel caught only one. "Good job, dad!" Edmund cheered. Henry smiled and gave his son a wink and the children smiled. Daniel groaned and gave them a little smug. Now lastly the two fathers moved onto round three. Samuel fished two fishes and Henry caught only one fish. Everyone groaned. Samuel smirked at Henry. "Hmph. I guess I don't have a right to forgive you."

"What?!" Dawn and Jane exclaimed. "Daaad!" Daniel snickered a bit. Penelope then intervened. "Honey, please!" She pleaded with her husband. Samuel groaned, and began to rethink about it.

"Dad. They really are sorry for all the mistakes they made many years ago." Jane tried to talk her father out. "Mr. and Mrs. Pevensie do regret them through this day. I can tell." The four Pevensie children nodded.

"Yeah, dad." Dawn added. "Someone wise has once taught me: whatever's done is done. There's no speaking of what is past." The others were a bit struck out by what she had said. Particularly the Pevensie children because they also knew who she was mentioning. And they all nodded with agreement.

Samuel sighed. "Fine...I'm going to forgive them." He said. Henry gave him a smile and shook his hand. Samuel smiled and shook his hand in return.

"Thank you." Henry said gratefully.

Samuel nodded. "You're welcome." He smiled. "And I'm sorry too for my arrogance. And for my refusal to forgive." He added. Henry nodded. "No problem." He forgave him. Their wives and children applauded and cheered. Bingo jumped around with happiness. The children hugged each other. "Now we're finally allowed to love and be friends!" Dawn exclaimed with joy.

Peter laughed, picked her up, and spun her around. And the family smiled at them as they looked on. Daniel and the four Pevensie children also shook their hands and made up. And they all became real friends again. Dawn and Peter couldn't be more happier that their parents finally reconciled and allowed them to be friends and to love each other no matter what. Also, they couldn't be more thankful to Aslan who helped them through with these family issues and their parents' rivalry. For the rest of the day, the Pevensie and the Jameson family cooked fish by the picnic area for dinner and they had a very good time at the park, with Bingo and the children playing fetch together.

(The end!)
