Setting: Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Y/N is lost girl in the search of her past who came across Caspian in the middle of forest. Soon she developed feeling for this gentleman but not everyone gets what they want. And Y/N didn't get the love she wanted. Time has passed and they were in a search of the Lone Islands and soon enough two Pevensies visited them.

"Alright, if that's all, I'm gonna got get some air." Y/N said as she left the discussion from Caspian's cabin.
She walked to the deck of the ship. The sea always managed to calm her down. During times of war and stress, she always found a way to go the sea shore and sit in the quiet and peaceful weather.
She sighed and closed her eyes.
Everything is gonna be fine.
She opened her eyes and untied her hair, allowing it to blow in the wind.
"Still didn't notice me m'lady?"
Y/N looked beside her, and Caspian was stood beside her, leaning over the railing.
"M'lady? Not that honorable. I'm just a lost girl." She said.
"Every lady deserves respect. And you...you remained my friend since the first time I met Peter."
Friend. Only friend. "Yeaahhh...I remember that. I wasn't supposed to be there in the first place." Y/N sighed.
"I suppose it's destiny."
"You believe in that? I still don't know what I was destined to be."
"Of course I do. You're still looking for answers...aren't you?"
"I never stopped Caspian. You wouldn't really feel nice to wake up oneday in the middle of the woods with two men fighting with their swords. I don't remember anything at all. What if I don't belong here?"
Caspian looked at her, glancing down at her hand on the railing. He slowly put his hand on hers, and said "You will know. You just have to wait for the perfect time."
She looked at him, smiling. The smile she always kept on her face, inspite of all the problems. "Have been waiting for years now."
"Don't lose hope."
"I'm not. That's what keeps me going. That's what keeps me smiling. That's why I'm still around you."
Caspian smiled, "And you're what keeps me motivated. Your will to find answers, how you never give up. I thought...I thought after she was gone, I wouldn't be able to concentrate and keep my word as a-a King. It-It would be a shame for...someone like me you know."
Susan. Y/N knew when he talked about her. How dreamy his eyes became, how passionately he talked about her. She wished it was her he was talking about. But, that cannot happen. How could a king like a girl like her? She herself found it amusing only by thinking about it.
Just then the water around the ship started getting a bit violent.
"What's happening?" Caspian asked alarmed.
"I don't know, the weather seemed calm and perfectly fine!"
"What-What is happening?!"
"There's a possibility of that..." Y/N said holding the railings of the ship tight, " I think....it's time that the Pevensie's are here. Aslan did tell us they will come back right?" Y/N said as she went back stumbling, to give orders for the necessary steps required for picking them up. Soon Edmund and Lucy were on board. All three shook hands and clapped one another on the back with great delight. They approached to Y/N, putting forward their hands for a handshake.
"Oh stop all these formalities." She said as she hugged both of them.
But after a while, the peaceful encounters didn't really last long. She noticed that along with them, there was also a certain annoying kid. If he wasn't Edmund's cousin, Eustace would've been killed by now. He was crying much harder than any boy of his age cried, and yelled out, "Let me go. Let me go back. I don't like it."
"Let you go?" said Caspian. "But where?"
Eustace rushed to the ship's side, he was promptly sick.
Y/N sighed and said, "Someone please help this gentleman over here. He seems sick, physically and mentally."
Edmund and Lucy chuckled at that while Caspian furrowed his eyebrows and said, "That's not how you should welcome guests."
"I know. Sorry, I'll look after their hospitality. Hey! Rynelf," said Y/N to one of the sailors. "Bring spiced wine for their Majesties. You'll need something to warm yourselves after that dip."
As he brought them all the food, they started talking to each other. They explained everything about the Lone Islands to the Pevensies and soon enough, the talk turned to their lives.
"So...Y/N, did you find anything about your..." Edmund said, finishing off his drink.
"Past? No. Not lucky enough."
"Oh..." He said, "And Caspian, what about you? Did you find anyone...ACHOOO!"
Lucy sneezed next. Y/N was glad that the conversation got over quickly. She wouldn't be able to bear him say all that over again.
"What a fool I am to keep you all standing here in your wet things," said Caspian. "Come on below and get changed. I'll give you up my cabin of course, Edmund, and Y/N, you may show your cabin to Lucy. Lead the way."
Y/N led Lucy to her cabin, giving her a tour of the ship in the way.
"Well, things between you two doesn't look too bad." Lucy stated.
"I know what you're trying to say but I don't think that's gonna happen." Y/N said.
They walked in a pleasant cabin. It was big enough for the two of them. Not too clean, not too dirty either--- few clothes kept on a chair, paintings hung to dry up, some pages hapazardly lying on the bed. Lucy looked around the place and sat down on the bed, turning the pages to look at it.
"You are still writing about all this?"
"Yes. One day it's gonna be read by someone hopefully, of course when I'm finished. When someone will come to seek for answers, this will help a little."
"Then I expect you still have a diary."
"Yes. It helps me during my stress." Y/N said finally picking out an outfit for Lucy.
Lucy got up and took the outfit from her, "And has the contents changed from what I've seen before?"
Y/N just laughed and sighed. "Well, this is a boy's outfit." Lucy said looking at the clothes.
"Yes. I brought boyish clothes. I don't think I can jump around wearing those dresses. Deal with it." She said and left the cabin.
Y/N waited outside and after a while Lucy came out.
"This is comfortable." She said, smiling.
"I know. It's Caspian's."
"What?"
"Uhhh...no not like that. I mean I stitched it up for myself back then. Apparently it's not lady-like but you know what kind of a brat I am. I do what I want." Y/N laughed walking up to the deck.
Lucy giggled, "If you say so."
Caspian and Edmund were catching up with each other. They turned towards the girls and Edmund said, "What are you wearing Lucy?"
Caspian sighed and said, "Of course. I should have know what you're gonna give her."
"She's not complaining. She said it was comfortable." Y/N defended herself.
"Yes it is." Lucy said.
They sat talking with each other while Y/N gave orders of their lunch.
"You should find someone else Caspian."
"I know, but I have eyes only for one lady. And it will not change."
"Change is not always bad."
Y/N heard their conversation and she decided not to get in. It was worse that Susan was their sister and there's no point in hating her. But envying her? Perhaps.
"Isn't it Y/N?" Lucy asked.
"What? I'm sorry I zoned out. You know what guys, I'm gonna take a break now. I have some work to do. Sorry for being rude and all. I know guests should be treated properly but you know what I mean. Sorry."
"Are you gonna write again?" Lucy asked curiously.
Y/N smiled and said before leaving, "That's one thing that I can say is mine alone."
