I Dreamed A Dream: A Narnia Story
*Piers Morgan and Susan Boyle are sitting in Susan's dressing room having a bite to eat before the show. They are so busy talking that they don't notice when a strange mist fills the room.* Piers:What's going on? Susan, are you doing this? Susan:How could I be doing it? I'm sitting right here next to you. *A few seconds later, the mist disappeared. Susan and Piers found themselves in a forest of tall trees.* Susan:Hang on a minute. We're not in the studio anymore. Piers:You're quite right, Susan. Susan:Where are we? Piers:More importantly, what are we doing here? *A young woman then walked up to them. She was wearing a blue cloak over a very elegant black dress.* Cat:Hello. You must be the legendary Susan Boyle and Piers Morgan. You must come with me. Aslan needs you to help him. Piers:Who are you talking about? Susan:Who is Aslan? *Cat giggled.* Cat:You've never heard of Aslan the Great Lion? You must be from America. Piers:I thought we were in America. Cat:You're not in America. You're in Narnia. Piers:I knew something was wrong with this picture. Come on, Susan. Let's go home. Cat:You two aren't going anywhere. You're coming with me to meet Aslan. From there, you will be given further instruction. Susan:I don't know what you're talking about. I just hope Aslan doesn't hurt us. Cat:He's not going to hurt you. You'll be fine. *Cat glances at her watch and gasps.* Cat:We must act fast. Nasty Nigel is probably waiting for us. He wants both of you out of here, you know. Susan:Who is he? Is he the King or something? Cat:He says he's a King, but he's really not. Aslan is the true King of Narnia. Come on. We must go to meet him before it gets too late.

Cat led them along a path to Aslan's castle. ''How much further is it'' asked Piers. '' Not far to go now, come on, we must hurry'' Cat replied. When they got to the castle Aslan was waiting for them. ''You must help me get rid of Nasty Nigel'' he said. ''He is trying to rule Narnia''. '' He and some of his showbiz friends want to turn Narnia into a giant theme park, so that they can make lots of money''. Susan said she and Piers would help as much as they could. Cat took Piers and Susan to their rooms. ''You must rest now'', she said. ''We have got a lot of work to do soon''. Meanwhile at Nigel's castle, one of his spies had told Nigel he had seen Piers and Susan arriving. Nigel hissed, ''I bet that meddling Cat Deeley is behind this, I'll deal with it later, but now I have some important phone calls to make.....................................................................

Meanwhile, Susan couldn't sleep. She kept waking up and glancing out of the window of her room. She finally got out of bed and began to pace the floor. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Susan:Who is it? The door opened and Aslan stood there with a smile on his face. Aslan:Susan, you must come with me. We don't have a lot of time. Susan:Does Piers need to come? I'll go wake him if you would like me to. Aslan:Piers doesn't need to be involved at the moment. Follow me. Susan followed Aslan down a long hallway until they came to a large room with two thrones with two golden crowns sitting on them. Susan:Aslan, what is this room for? Aslan:This is where you and Piers will become the new King and Queen of Narnia after the battle against Nigel and his army. Susan:I'm going to be a Queen? Wow! That sounds exciting! Aslan:First, there are a few things you must do. Susan:What sort of things do I need to do? Aslan:I will give you a bow and arrow to use in the battle. I will also give you powers that will protect you from any danger that you may face during battle. But you must discover them for yourself. Suddenly, one of Aslan's servants came into the room. Adam:Your Majesty, Nigel is coming over to find Susan and Piers. Susan gasped. A look of horror was on her face. Susan:What should I do now? If he's coming to find us, shouldn't we hide? Aslan:No, I don't want you to hide. I want you to use your powers while he's here. Maybe then he'll surrender and we won't have a battle at all. Susan:I hope we don't. But what about Cat? Aslan:If Nigel wants a war because of Cat, you will need to use your powers for protection so that you won't get hurt as well. Susan:What about Piers? Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Aslan:If it's Nigel, try to stay calm. But it wasn't Nigel. Standing in the doorway were Lucy and Edmund, former King and Queen of Narnia. Aslan smiled warmly at them. Aslan:Welcome, Lucy and Edmund. You're just in time. Lucy:Aslan, who is this woman with you? Is she part of Nigel's army? Aslan:No, dear one. This is Susan Boyle. She will be assisting in the battle against Nigel and his army. Lucy:Is there anything we can do to help, Aslan? Aslan:Perhaps you can help me get an army together. We don't have a lot of time. Nigel will be here in about an hour. Find as many Narnians as you can to join the fight. Meanwhile, I will fill Piers in on the plan and issue his powers to him. Susan:What kind of powers are you going to give him? Aslan:I will discuss this with you later. For now, you must go with Lucy and help get an army gathered. Once you have found them, come back to the castle for further instructions. Susan left with Lucy to find an army.

While Susan and Lucy were gone to raise an army, Aslan told Cat and Piers what was going on. Piers was scared, but Cat was looking forward to confronting Nigel. Susan and Lucy were having trouble raising an army, Nigel's thugs had scared a lot of people off. They returned to the castle with their bad news. Nigel appeared at the gates of Aslan's castle, he shouted ''I will soon be the ruler of all Narnia, its best if you give up and leave''. ''There is no way you can beat me'', I will give you 24 hours to go''. Cat was so enraged by this, so she threw a bucket of ice cold water over Nigel. '' You'll pay for that'' he said, as he and his followers turned and went away. Aslan said ''What can I do, I've got no army''. ''Don't worry'' said Susan, '' I'm sure we'll think of something.................................................

Later that day, Susan, Piers and Lucy were playing a game of cards when Aslan entered the room. Aslan:Susan, you must discover your powers. There's not much time left. Nigel said he was giving you 24 hours to leave, and you've wasted 2 of them playing this game. You can always resume it after the battle. Susan:Let's take a walk in the forest. That may be a good place for me to discover my powers. The three went into the forest. Susan ran ahead of Lucy and Piers, trying to find a spot where she could discover her powers. She finally settled on a little clearing where there were lots of trees. Susan:This will be a great place to discover my powers. Nigel won't even see me. She cleared her throat and began to sing "I Dreamed A Dream" as she wandered around the clearing. As Susan continued to sing, very peculiar things began to happen to her.

When she had finished singing, Susan felt different. She pointed to a bush and shouted Fire !, seconds later the bush caught fire. Then she pointed at the bush and shouted Ice!, and the bush froze instantly. Great she thought, these powers will come in handy, I must go and show them to Lucy and Piers. Meanwhile back at Aslan's castle, all of his loyal followers were helping to build barricades. Cat asked Aslan where Piers and the others had gone. Aslan told her they were in the forest. Cat said, ''I think I will go and find them'' ''Fine'' said Aslan, ''But be wary, some of Nigel's spies might be around''. ''Ok'' said Cat as she headed out towards the forest........................................

When Cat got into the forest, she found Piers and Lucy trying to catch tree frogs. Cat:Come on, you two. We need to get back to Aslan's castle. Lucy:Can't we just catch one more frog? Cat:No, we have to go meet Aslan. Suddenly, Susan started to sing "Up To The Mountain." She was standing in the clearing where she had discovered her powers. Piers:Why is Susan still singing? We need to get out of here. When Susan finished singing, there were loud cheers from all sides of the clearing. Piers:What's going on? Susan came running toward them with a large group of Aslan's followers behind her. Susan:We should go and meet Aslan at once. He needs all the help he can get to fight off Nigel and his army. Susan turned to face the army that was following her. Susan:We must act quickly. Nigel could be at Aslan's castle any minute. You must follwo me and do as I tell you, for I will be a Queen of Narnia when the day is done. When they arrived at Aslan's castle, he was glad to hear that Susan had found some more followers to join the fight. The next morning, Nigel showed up at the gates to Aslan's castle with his army.

Nigel started shouting to Aslan, ''Why don't you just give up ?, you know you cant beat me''. '' Soon I will be the most powerful man in Narnia''. ''What a load of tripe'' said Cat, and she laughed. Then Susan pointed at Nigel, and shouted Ice !, within seconds Nigel was frozen solid, he could not move or speak. Aslan and the others laughed and cheered. Nigel's followers put him on the back of a truck and went away. Meanwhile in Aslan's castle the celebrations had begun. In the Great Hall, a party was underway. Susan was leading a sing-a-long, with Piers and Cat. Piers said to Aslan, ''I think thats round 1 to us'', Aslan agreed, but added, ''I think we must still be on our guard, Nigel won't give in this easy''. Back at Nigel's castle, Nigel had just about thawed out, and was furious. ''I'll get them for this'' he hissed. ''They won't stop my master-plan''. He then called two youg girls forward. He told them to go to Aslan's castle, and pretend to be on his side. He gave the girls two small tablets, and said, ''When you get the chance, slip these into one of Susan's drinks''. ''It should make her sleep for a long time'', he laughed. Meanwhile back at Aslan's castle the party was in full swing, Susan was stood on a table singing and Cat had put on a ball gown and was leading the dancing. Aslan and Piers were laughing and joking. Nigel's two spies entered the castle unoticed...............................................................

The two girls walked over to Aslan and Piers. They began asking questions as if they knew what was going on. But Piers knew something was wrong. Girl 1:Why did Susan use her ice powers on Nigel? I think that was very unnecessary. Girl 2:Aslan, what happened to your army? How did it get so big? Susan had decided that a break was needed so she could get something to drink. She walked over to the refreshment table and poured herself a glass of punch. One of Nigel's spies walked up to Susan at that moment. Girl 2:I've got a magic pill that will make you the best singer in Narnia. Want to try one, Princess Susan? Susan looked at the pill in the girl's hand. It was red and looked like the color of blood. Susan:I don't know if this will work for me... Girl 2:You'll be fine. Put it in your punch. It'll make it taste better. Susan put the pill into her cup of punch. The color of the punch turned from blue to a bright red. Now it really did look like blood. Susan shivered in fear. She walked over to Piers. Susan:Does this drink look funny? There's something very scary about it. Piers took the cup from Susan and sniffed it. Piers:It looks like and smells like blood. Aslan:Susan, don't drink it. Pour it down the sink. Some of Nigel's spies are here trying to capture you. Use your powers to get them out of here. Susan grinned. This could only mean one thing. She would have to incorporate her powers into her performance of "Cry Me A River." As she began to sing, the oddest thing happened.

The room began to fill up with a strange blue mist. Susan kept on singing, although she could not see anybody through the mist. When she had finished her song, the mist blew away within seconds. Everyone stood and clapped and cheered. Except the two spies, who were laying on the floor in a heap, fast asleep. ''That will teach them to mess with me'' said Susan, who then laughed. Piers picked them up, and threw them out of the castle. Aslan , Cat and Susan were then talking about what they should do next. Cat suggested that she would disguise herself and go to Nigel's castle, to spy on him. Aslan thought this was too dangerous, but Cat was very determined, and she went off to get ready. ''Don't worry'' said Susan, '' I'll give Cat a magic bracelet, if she gets into trouble, she can use it to contact me'' Back at Nigel's castle the two spies had returned, and they had told Nigel they had failed. He was furious. ''Still'' he said, ''On the bright side, the demolition men are coming tomorrow, so we will be able to start work on my master-plan''.

The next morning, Nigel and his spies were starting to put together their plan of turning the forest into a theme park with very scary and dangerous rides. Upon her arrival at Nigel's castle, Cat had noticed the floor plans for a roller coaster shaped like a dragon and an airplane ride known as The Bumblebee. Nigel:When I'm finished with these two, I'll get Susan and Piers to try each of them. We'll see which one sends them into the dungeons. Hahahaha! Meanwhile at Aslan's castle, Susan was getting periodic messages from Cat via her magic bracelet. When she found out that Nigel was planning to have her test out the two very dangerous rides with Piers, Susan became very nervous. She decided to have a word with Aslan that night after dinner. Susan:How are Piers and I going to survive these two dangerous rides without getting hurt? Aslan:Use your powers to protect you during both journeys. That way, you won't fall out and get hurt and you will be able to control the ride at your own free will. Nigel should have no control over you. The very next day, Nigel kidnapped Piers and put him on the dragon-shaped roller coaster with only a safety bar holding him in place. As soon as the ride started, the trouble began to unfold. When Susan heard Piers screaming for help, she knew she had to do something. She used her powers to teleport herself into the same car as Piers to keep him company. When Nigel noticed this, he pressed a button on the control panel. The coaster shot up the hill, then stalled at the top for about thirty seconds before plummetting down the drop. Piers, Susan and the other passengers all screamed, but Piers and Susan weren't enjoying themselves. Suddenly, there was a flash of light and the coaster stopped. Piers:What's going on? Are we done yet? Nigel laughed. Nigel:Not quite. He pressed another button, and the coaster zoomed around a few twists and turns before soaring into the sky. Everyone on the ride was screaming and laughing, except for Susan and Piers. Piers was clinging to the safety bar for dear life while Susan was trying to think of a way off of the crazy ride.

As they were flying through the sky, Susan closed her eyes and used her magic powers. There was a flash of light, then the coaster they were in slowed down, then it drifted slowly down to the ground. ''That was lucky escape'' said Susan. She turned to Piers, he was still sitting in the coaster, clinging on for dear life, and quivering with fear. Susan laughed at him, then said, ''Come on Piers its time to go home'' There was a flash of light, and before Piers could believe it, they were back at Aslan's castle. Meanwhile back at Nigel's castle, Cat was snooping around, she found lots of Nigel's plans for the new theme park. She thought some of the rides were very dangerous !, I'd better report this to Susan , she thought. Nigel was in the control room, he thought the ride that he put Piers on was great. ''That will scare the people '' he said............................................................

When Susan heard from Cat about Nigel's plans, she had a great idea. She sent a message to Cat that red: I'm not sure how dangerous these rides will get, but I just thought of something. Let's create our own ride and make him try it out. We'll need to test it first to see if it works, of course. What do you think? Cat responded with: That's brilliant! What were you thinking, a roller coaster or a spinning swing ride? I was hoping that I could join the fun, too. Would that be ok with you and Piers? Susan responded: Sure. That would be great. Piers and I should get to work soon. We don't want him to be kept waiting. He, he, he! The next day, Susan described her plan to Piers. He thought it was an excellent idea and agreed to help. They created a spinning swing ride that went really fast and would soar 50 thousand feet in the air. That will make him nervous, thought Susan. After they had finished getting it ready, Susan sent a message to Cat that she could come over and try it out. They had decided to test it out in a large grassy field so that Nigel would notice them. As soon as everyone was strapped in, Susan pushed a button on a control panel on the side of her and Piers's swing. The swings slowly began to rise into the air. Piers squeezed his eyes shut and held onto Susan's hand as the swings began to spin faster and faster. Susan giggled and pushed another button. Hold on tight, shouted Susan as the swings rose higher into the sky still spinning. Cat squealed with excitement when the swings rose to their highest point. This is fun, she squealed, Can we go any faster? We probably shouldn't do that, said Piers, I don't want to get sick. But Susan didn't listen to Piers. She flipped a switch and the swings spun even faster. Piers screamed and tightened his grip on Susan's hand. Suddenly, Nigel and his spies appeared in the field. Hold on! shouted Susan, We're going down! Oh great, muttered Piers.

Everybody clung on tight as the ride crashed to the ground. ''Is everyone alright ?'' shouted Susan. ''I think so'' said Cat, ''Just a few bumps and bruises''. ''I'm sorry'' said Susan, ''I should'nt have made it go so fast''. As they looked up, they could see Nigel's spies running towards them. ''Quick'' shouted Susan, ''Lets run for the castle''. Meanwhile, Nigel had watched their ride, and he had his people working on a better one. He wanted it to be the scariest ride ever. Susan and the others were still trying to get away from Nigel's spies. ''I think we ought to split up'' said Piers. ''Ok'' said Cat and Susan. Piers ran straight ahead, Susan turned right, and went over the river, Cat ran into the forest.............................................

As Susan made her way across the river, she could hear a woman singing while a man played guitar. Susan came closer to listen. When the song was done, the woman noticed Susan watching them and walked over to her. Woman:Did you like our song? It's gonna be on our new CD. Susan:I did enjoy your song very much. I'm Princess Susan. Who are you, and what do you want from me? The woman and man introduced themselves as Jennifer and Kristian. They were some of Aslan's servants who had been scared away by Nigel's spies. Susan:Would you like to come back to the castle with me? I'm sure Aslan would love to have some more assistance in his battle against Nigel. Kristian:We would love to help, but I have a question. Susan:And what would that be? Kristian:Are you from Narnia? Susan:No, I'm actually from Scotland, but I live in New York with my friend, Piers. Jennifer:We heard your song the other day. We really enjoyed it. Would you like to sing at our next performance? Maybe we could sing a duet or something. Susan:I would like to, but I'm not sure how long I'll be staying here. Jennifer:You don't have to perform if you don't want to. If you want to, you could host the show. What do you think about that? Before Susan could respond, she heard Piers shouting for help. Piers:No! You can't do this to me! Leave me alone! Girl:You can't get away that fast, Morgan! Get on here with me. I think you'll enjoy it. Hahahahaha! Kristian:Uh-oh. I think she's putting your friend on the Bumblebee airplane thing. We'd better get our spots on there before it takes off. Susan:How are we going to do that? Jennifer:It's easy. You just need to hold Kristian's hand for a second until we get on there. Jennifer clicked her fingers. Within seconds, Susan, Jennifer and Kristian were sitting in one of the airplanes. Jennifer pulled the safety bar down over their laps. Suddenly, the floor beneath their feet began to vibrate. There was a low humming sound and the propellers began to spin. Susan heard Piers squeal in fear. When he noticed Susan, he smiled over at her. Piers:Hey, Susan. Where were you? Jennifer began to point the controls toward the "take-off" position. The plane began to move down the runway. Jennifer:There's no time for questions. Let's get back to the castle. As the two planes began rising into the air, Cat was also in trouble...
