Or at least that’s what we’re told in Prince Caspian. The truth is, however, slightly different. It is true that for the third story only Edmund and Lucy return. All four return for A Horse and His Boy and three of them return for The Last Battle.

Then Lucy speaks, implying that they should wait for Aslan– since that is how they won last time.
To this, Peter responds that maybe they were brought there to act, not to wait.
