Okay i'm not exaggerating here, five minutes has passed and Gila is still laughing. All i've managed to say is that I've apparated to a world for the first time. By first time I mean the first time I interacted with the people living there can we just clarify the first world I went to I just sat in a bush and watched everything. Okay not quite in that way. Whatever-

"Oh stop laughing! Honestly! You'd think Russel Howard had just walked on stage! Right finally! I arrived in Narnia- oh my gods do you want this story told or not because i'm not going to continue if you're just going to sit there laughing. Well i'm explaining this for you!"
"You know the consequences of not agreeing to my requests." Gila replied cooly completely calm now.
I squirmed uncomfortably in my seat. I had a bad feeling she was going to launch into a huge speech about the terrible punishments she had waiting for me if I disobeyed her. On the contrary, all she did was blink. I took this as a sign to continue.

"Introductions! right! Okay I was really embarrassing so i'm going to brush over literally everything- GILA DON'T MAKE ME RELIVE THE CRINGY MOMENTS PLEASE I WILL DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT! OH MY GODS! WHY? IT'S NOT EVEN IMPORTANT!!!

"Pretty certain they can't have been that bad."
"They were."
"Well, we'll be the judge of that."

"Oh gods
I'm in Narnia- no Gila, i'm not explaining the plot of Narnia to you, no it's just going to waste precious time- well I want this story over and done with as quick as possible so- fine fine fine!

I don't even know how to start.

Okay our protagonists Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy (brothers and sisters) are sent away to the country to live with some professor I've forgotten the name of, as all children living in World War 1 had to do during the war. Human World Gila, Human World for Hades' sake. Anyway, there's this magic wardrobe in the Professor's house which leads to a magical world called Narnia- yes, hence the title, exactly Gila, you're ever so intelligent, sorry sorry!- They're playing one day and have to hide go into the wardrobe where they discover Narnia (well, Lucy and Edmund have been before but that's unimportant). Then they meet some nice beavers and discover Edmund has 'betrayed' them and then they have to go on this crazy journey to Aslan the Lion's camp just to get Edmund back. Edmund is brought back by the white witch and Aslan agrees to die to make the witch happy. Aslan dies, Peter and the witch ready for battle, Lucy and Susan sob over Aslan's dead body all night, Aslan comes back to life (because he's Jesus or God or something) then they all defeat the white witch and become Kings and Queens of Narnia hooray! 20 years later they go back through the wardrobe and turn back into their original teenage selves. Because C. S Lewis. The author, Gila. Oh, you don't have to understand that part- apparently its some long extended metaphor for Jesus' life story- I don't know. No, i'm not explaining who Jesus was.

Right. Now that's all explained, I arrived in Narnia and appeared near the door to the beavers' house, scaring the living daylights out of everyone around me. They all started to back away apart from Mr Beaver who told the others to run and began to charge forwards. My heart dropped, but I summoned up my courage and yelled: "Stop! I swear i'm not with the ice queen lady person!" And Mr Beaver halted. In fact everyone did and looked at me strangely.
"Who?" Mr Beaver asked
I took a deep breath my heart thudding against my chest, "The Queen person the one with snowy powers who turns people into statues! I dunno what she's called."
