Susan stared out of the window.
"Are you nervous?", Peter asked.

Susan continued to stare outside.
"No."

Peter sighed.
"I can see you shaking, Susan", he said.
"There is no weakness in admitting to be nervous."

Susan didn't look at him.

Susan was the Pevensie who was the best in sports.
Swimming, climbing, call it and Susan could do it.
But running and swimming were her favourite sports and also the ones she was best in.

Susan had already won several awards for their school in swimming competitions.
And today her first running competition was going to happen.

Peter could understand that she was nervous, and he wanted to help her, but Susan didn't want anyone to think that she needed help.

"Su", Peter said.
"Do you remember in Narnia, when-"

"Narnia is a game, Peter. It's nothing what I really did."

Peter looked down.

"But maybe it'll give you inspiration", he said quietly.

"Think about the time, when you went with a few of your friends along the beach and we couldn't find you, because you all had ran so far away."

He left.
He probably should've stayed, but he couldn't spend another second in that place.

Edmund and Lucy were already where the competition should take place. Peter searched a while for them, the crowd was massive, but when he found them, they had a good place to watch the run.

"How's Susan?", Lucy asked.
"I think she's nervous, but she isn't admitting it", Peter said.
Edmund sighed.

A little bit later the run started.
Peter didn't understand much, he just saw that Susan closed her eyes before the start, as if she was trying to remember something.
And when she ran, she was always a little faster than the rest and she reached the goal first.

Edmund and Lucy cheered as if they were crazy, but Peter smiled proudly.

"She won!", Lucy exclaimed, looking at Peter.

"Yeah, she's Susan", Peter said and grinned.
Lucy laughed and hugged him.

A little bit later Susan came running up to them, a big smile on her lips.

Lucy hugged her sister and Susan laughed.

"How were you so fast?", Edmund questioned.

Susan smiled. "I think Peter's words gave me some sort of inspiration", she answered.

Peter smiled back.
