Edmund woke up with a start. Opening his eyes, he saw Lucy and Caspian both staring at him in concern.

"Are you alright? That must have been a horrific nightmare. You were yelling and screaming." Caspian said. Edmund, still trembling, shook his head.

"What was it about?" Lucy asked. Edmund shuddered.

"It was awful... they were surrounding us on all sides." Edmund was shaking.

"Who was?" Caspian asked.

"C-C-Clowns." He said.

Caspian frowned. Lucy seemed to be holding back... laughter.

It was silent for a moment longer then Lucy began to laugh.

"Oh, Ed! You never did like clowns. That was one of the worst things about coming back from Narnia wasn't it?" She laughed. Edmund smiled a little bit.

"One of the not as obvious reasons, yes." He muttered. Lucy patted his arm.

Caspian cocked his head to the side.

"What's a clown?"

Both children stared at him.

"Oh. Clowns are people-" She started, Edmund cut in.

"Horrific creatures-"

"But some are alright-" Lucy started again. Edmund shook his head.

"No. There is not such a thing as a good clown." Edmund snapped.

"Well, I didn't think that one we saw at that fair last year wasn't so bad." Lucy said.

Edmund shook his head and cupped a hand around his mouth.

"You know how Lucy thinks nice about everyone." He whispered. Lucy rolled her eyes.

"He's just a pansy."

"Yes. We all know that." Edmund growled. Caspian chuckled.

"Alright, so what are they supposed to do?" He asked.

Lucy smiled.

"They are supposed to cheer people up."

"They don't sound like they do." Caspian stated dryly, glancing at Edmund.

Lucy giggled as Edmund glared at her.

"Well. They have funny clothes and wear bright red noses. They play funny tricks like squirting water at people." Lucy smirked at Edmund. Lucy and Edmund broke off into more bickering.

Caspian shook his head, more confused than when he started. One thing was certian. He didn't want to see any clowns in his life.
