Reep shrugged. "Okay."
Tenny was seasick before they got on the boat. But soon they were all sailing again for the...
island towards the north, where Islie lived.
They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.

Tenethia began to sing. "Drive into the river, Bob, oh, drive into the river, Bob!"
Everyone sighed. "We're already in water."
"Yes," said Tenethia, "but it's not a river. Drive into the river, Bob, ohhhhh, drive into the river, Bob!" she continued singing at the top of her lungs.
Tooky joined her singing.
Arna shook her head. "I know a much better song to sing, Tenny." She flew up onto Tenny's head and began to sing at the top of her lungs. "BUT I STILLLLLL HAVEN'T FOOOOUUUND WHAT I'M LOOOOOOOKING FOR!!!!!!"
Tenny was upset. "You're so Wrong!" She began to sing much louder. "Oh, the biscuit of Zazzamarrandabo it lies atop a mound of snow! High in the hill where the cold winds blow is the biscuit of Zazzamarrandabo!"
"Where have aaaaaaalllllllllll the staplers goooooooooone?????" sang Gypsy.
"NOOOO!" Arna shouted. "CAUSE YOUR HIS CHEESEBURGER, HIS ONLY CHEESEBURGER!!!!!!!!!"
Reepicheep was so upset by the Battle of Songs that he climbed on top of Islie's head, sat on her nose, and daydreamed of the Utter East.
They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.

Gypsy stopped singing and climbed up beside Reep. "What do you dream of the islands?" she asked him.
There was now too much weight on Islie's nose, so she lowered her head and softly dropped Reep and Gypsy onto a hammock.
They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.

Tenny stroked Islie between her occicones and glanced over at Reep. "Yes, Reep, what /do/ you dream about about the islands?"
Gypsy swang the hammock back and forth.
"Well," began Reepicheep. "I dream of claiming new lands for Narnia and for my king."
