Can I Go Too?

By: Glossy
Disclaimer: This is my new series about one girl's quest for love and adventure...I don't own anything but Brittany and pointless details. Enjoy. I don't own Peter Pan either *obviously* Just so you know this is based off the story of Disney's Peter Pan, so Peter Pan belongs to Disney and of course Sir J. M. Barrie (who created Peter Pan in the first place*he must of been a total genius to come up with such a great idea) and definitely not me. This is my first Peter Pan fic, so please don't go too hard on me. *No Flames!*
Just saying, Peter Pan is thirteen in this story (I think he is really thirteen)
The song used in this fic is by Michelle Branch (one of my favorite artists). The song is called "You Set Me Free" and the lyrics are in NO WAY created by me.


It was a rainy night as Brittany, a girl with semi-long golden brown hair, looked out her window reading on the window sill. As her auburn eyes followed the words carefully, she sighed. She was a combination of a party girl and a book worm, and she was very mature for a 12 year old. Her long hair draped over her shoulders as did some little strands over her eyes.

Brittany didn't fit in at school, but she didn't care...she liked being, well, herself.

She was really into fantasy...so much she wished she could do magic or fly herself. That seemed really impossible...but she still dreamed about it all the time anyway. If there was one thing she loved it was Peter Pan. I wish I could go to Never Land so bad she thought dreamily.

Brittany believed one day, just one magical day, Peter would come in through her bedroom window in America, and ask her if she'd like to go to Never Land with him. Of course she'd say 'yes.' she thought excitedly looking out the window. She knew all of Peter Pan's stories...from beginning to end.

But nobody believed in Peter Pan...she did. It was an interesting story actually. One night, Brittany had been heading to bed when she had gotten a letter from her pen pal Wendy Darling, in London. She had told Brittany all about how she had gone to Never Land, and she very much believed Wendy. Faith, trust, and pixie dust...you just had to believe.

Brittany knew she had done enough reading and decided to head off to bed, before her Mom told her to. It was getting late anyway; "one day" she muttered as she brushed her hair once more looking into the mirror before heading to her bed "one day", she repeated.

~*~*~*~*~*~
Peter laid in his hammock in his room as he listened to the racket the lost boys were making. Peter sighed, sometimes he wished Wendy was still here. Sure he had gotten a tiny bit mad when she wanted to go home but he was used to being rejected in that way...not exactly rejected...just, nobody ever wanted to stay in Never Land...they all wanted to grow up.

Not that that was, well, such a bad thing...well, yeah it was sort of bad. He'd makes a great friend...take them to Never Land...and then in the end they'd want to go back home. This place definitely needed a mother. Peter knew it was time something got done around here.

He stepped out into the open and watched the lost boy's horseplay, and he could see TinkerBell's light glowing in her own room. This place was a mess at the moment, plus they needed a mother to tell them stories, it was hard to keep them under control all the time by himself. But, he thought, I need someone who believes in me and knows or tells my stories. Peter thought about it for a moment and then it suddenly came to him, he knew just who could do this job.

"Settle down!" He yelled as the noise immediately dropped. The lost boys froze and looked up, even TinkerBell had poked her head out from behind her leaf to see what was going on. "Okay," Peter started "As you probably know, we...well, I've been thinking that we need a-" Peter was cut off as one of the twins hit Cubby and Cubby hit him back, weapons flying everywhere as mad chaos started. "A ten hut!" Peter shouted as they all froze again and it became silent. "Okay" Peter started again "We need a mother, as some of you might of guessed, I know just who to get...so if you don't mind I'd like to bring her here" Peter said in a slow tone just to make sure everybody heard correctly.



The Lost Boys nodded and simply agreed that they would like to have a new mother as well, but you could tell they weren't paying close attention; then they got back to playing their games, or whatever it was they were doing. Peter shifted back and forth on his feet, shook his head, and then sighed. They probably really weren't listening much, he thought. "Well, I'm going to go get her now!" Peter yelled over the noise. "Tink, c'mon", he said a tad frustrated as he moved his head forward. She crossed her arms and shook her head 'no.' "Fine Tink, you don't have to come with me but she's a very pretty girl and-" Peter said and TinkerBell zoomed up as if to say, 'I'm keeping an eye on you, your mine'. Peter laughed. "All right, come on" He said as the two flew off.
~*~*~*~*~*~

Brittany was tossing and turning and having a very odd dream at this time....
~Brittany looked around silently knowing that Peter was endangered by Captain Hook, he was probably tied up at this very minute. A tear trickled down her rosy cheek as she helplessly searched for him. Brittany made her way through the trees and sand until she reached the water. She was afraid that Peter might get hurt or killed if she didn't hurry, then it would be all her fault. Brittany stumbled into the water, almost on her face flat, her feet cut up also, quite badly. She was trying to make it to Captain Hook's ship as soon as possible.

I have to make it, I'm coming to save you Peter...I'm coming...don't worry, just hold on Brittany said in her mind trying to swim,but her body felt heavy, weak and tired. The saltwater splashed onto her face and into her mouth. Now and then she would sink desperately trying to keep her head above the water. The dark blue water seemed deeper than it was because she felt very weakly.

Once she had reached the ship she hung on to it for dear life trying to hold herself up, sputtering and coughing, Brittany climbed up slowly and grabbed onto the deck, and there she saw him tied up, breathing heavily, bleeding, and....crying while he was on the plank. She scrambled away quickly not being able to bear the scene, she was thinking she just had to do something...before it was to late.

Brittany was almost to the plank as Peter's eyes were saying help me because his arms could not. She was almost there, closer...only a few steps away...you can do it...you have to save him she told herself over and over. Brittany was millimeters away when a sword slashed the deck with such power it sent her all the way to the edge of the ship dangling each finger slipping one by one until she fell back into the ocean. She was bleeding slightly as she heard a splash bedsides her own too, she had no strength to move, it was getting darker second by second...everything was going black. But I have to save Peter...
Before it went black she knew it had probably been to late

Brittany bolted up from her covers panting in a cold sweat. She put a hand on her chest and felt her heart beating a million miles per minute. She got up and walked downstairs to get a glass of water. She slowly walked back upstairs and sat up in bed sipping her water. Brittany, in her mind, thought her dream over as her heartbeat began to slow down to a normal pace. Peter doesn't cry, she thought, Brittany shook her head as if to be pushing the thoughts of her dream out of her head. She didn't want to think about it. It took Brittany three hours before she had fallen back into a deep sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~

It was still raining heavily. His footsteps were silent against the rooftops of Arizona. He leaped from one house to the other swiftly and quietly. TinkerBell followed Peter, glowing as bright as the stars. Peter landed gently on one of the houses going to the second story window. He peered in slowly to see a young girl who believed in him, sleeping. "That's her", Peter whispered to TinkerBell. TinkerBell shrugged and crossed her arms.

"She knows all of my stories...", Peter trailed off as he put his hands on the window, his nose almost touching the glass to get a closer look. "Well?", Peter asked TinkerBell. TinkerBell said nothing, she just looked angry because she was drenched in water from the rain. "I'm soaking wet too", Peter said, trying to stand still on the slippery roof.

He seemed to have himself balanced pretty well, till he lost it. Peter went flying, crashing into the window unable to stop himself. Broken glass was everywhere, and the carpet was as wet as the bottom of the ocean. TinkerBell flew in after him. Brittany's eyes shot open as she turned around quickly.

Peter ignored the slight pain and quickly got up. "Quick Tink", he whispered to TinkerBell as he leaped behind a dresser. TinkerBell obeyed, and followed. Brittany got out of bed as she gasped,. "what happened?!", she said, startled as she ran to the now, clearly broken and open window. She peered out of it to see if there was anyone around. It was completely empty...with no trace of anyone.

This scared Brittany quite a lot. What to do? She thought. Peter looked at Brittany from behind the dresser. He sighed and walked out into the open. He cleared his throat. Brittany turned around quickly, feeling edgy. "Is someone there?", Brittany asked, not being able to see Peter because he was standing in the shadow of the dresser. Lighting stuck and she jumped.

"Who's there?", Brittany asked, grabbing a book ready to hit anything that came out at her. Peter walked slowly and quietly into the light. Peter tapped her still feeling a tad unsure. "Eeep!", she screamed and hit Peter on the head with her book, her heart still beating fast not knowing what she hit. Peter winced and rubbed his head. "Oh! oh my! I'm sorry I just, you scared me and-" she said realizing she hit a boy. She was scared to death, but still felt sorry that she hit him so hard; she stopped speaking and thinking as she realized that that boy was Peter Pan in the flesh.

Peter, remembering to be polite, took off his hat and bowed "Peter Pan, at your service miss", he said as he looked up at her.
It 's...him!, Brittany thought rapidly over and over. She was completely speechless. "I'm Brittany LockHeart", she choked out. Brittany's eyes scanned him over, he was...adorable. "Oh, did you crash through my window?", Brittany asked still very nervous.

"Yes, sorry about that", Peter said flying over to her. "Quite all right. Your hurt! My gosh let me get something to help you, just take a seat on my bed", she said going into her bathroom to get the first aid kit. Peter took a seat. Brittany came back and began to nurse his wounds.

TinkerBell watched, still behind the dresser as her face burned red. A sudden thought had just struck Brittany. "Peter?", she asked him. He played his Pan pipe cheerfully. "Hm?", he said back. "Why did you come here?", Brittany asked. "We need a new mother", Peter said straight out without any complications.

"Really? you mean...me? oh, Peter! I'd love to!", Brittany squealed as she washed one of his cuts out. "This might sting", Brittany said, trying to keep calm from her excitement. "Ouch", Peter sighed out. Brittany couldn't believe what was happening was actually happening. All her dreams were coming true when she least expected it. She was simply overjoyed.

Brittany finished nursing the last wound. "There, all done", she said as Peter leaped off her bed. Peter walked over to the window. "Tink", he called out. She flied out slowly; TinkerBell knew what was coming. She shot a quick glare in Brittany's direction. Peter grabbed her by her wings and sprinkled a little pixie dust on Brittany.

Brittany watched her feet as she rose off the ground thinking of the happiest thoughts. "I-I can fly!", she squeaked out. "I can fly!", she said grinning so much that the sides of her mouth started to hurt. "Well then, let's head off to Never Land", Peter said, as he got ready to fly out the window.

TinkerBell took off quickly after Peter had said those words. She didn't want to stay at Brittany's house any longer and watch the awfulness of it all. She remembered how it was like with Wendy and that had been quite enough. "Wait", Brittany said to Peter. "I should write a note saying when and where I went and when I'll be back", she told him, grabbing a piece of parchment and writing something quickly on it. "Why?", Peter asked. "So my parents will know where I am if I'm not back before morning".

"Oh", he said confused, not quite knowing the meaning of the word parents. "Okay, I'm ready to go", Brittany sighed out, setting down her pen as she flew next to Peter. "All right," Peter said and took her hand in his ,"Off to Never Land" he said as they both flew out the window.

The view was incredible. The houses were so small and you felt like you were on top of the world. The sky was beautiful, the stars looked like a million tiny candles or diamonds. Brittany blushed as she looked down at Peter's hand in her's. His grip was gentle, but firm...and... his eyes were a honey color...it was a beautiful color, and his red hair was just the cutest thing in her opinion.

Peter flashed Brittany a quick smile. She smiled quickly back, blushing redder. Brittany gazed up at the stars. That smile...she thought dreamily. The two looped around the roof tops and then flew higher in the sky; it was the most amazing feeling, floating in midair that is. "Peter...I couldn't have wished for anything better", Brittany told him smiling, her voice still very shaky. "I'm sure you'll love it there", Peter said assuringly. "I'm sure too", said Brittany.

With his other hand, Peter swooped down and swung around a lamp post. Brittany giggled. The feeling of swooping down and then up was marvelous. His eyes were shining very brightly from the light of the moon and stars combined, and he was just acting so carefree and loving, and of course mischievous, and Brittany admired him for that.

Brittany had an urge to kiss his cheek and fling her arms around his neck. I just want to be held in his arms; okay maybe I'm a little in over my head here, Brittany thought. She also had a sudden urge to sing, but she wouldn't fight this urge, so she sung out because she simply wanted to.

"Can't you see? ", Brittany's pretty voice sang. Peter turned his head to look at her.
Brittany smiled a little and continued to sing

"There's a feeling that's come over me
Close my eyes
You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless
No need to wonder why
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny

'Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free

There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting
You make me restless
You're in my heart
The only light that shines there in the dark

'Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free

When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
'Cause I wanted to fly, so you gave me your wings
And time held its breath so I could see, yeah
And you set me free" Brittany finished singing.

"Nice voice", said Peter with a look of amazement and confusion both on his face. First of all he had never heard that type of music before and secondly her voice was very beautiful. "Thank you", Brittany said, blushing a little looking away. She was slightly shy. "I don't think my voice is great, but I think I sing okay", she said. "Okay?" that voice is wonderful, Peter wanted to say, but didn't say anything at all.

There was a long pause of silence. "There it is Britt, second star to the right and straight on ti'll morning", said Peter, breaking the silence. Brittany smiled again as she saw two stars gleaming very close to each other. The two flew faster and faster getting closer to Never Land. Peter smiling, and Brittany with a look of shock and excitement. They were almost there, getting closer and closer...Brittany's heart raced thinking of all of her dreams coming true and then just like a flash of light they were in Never Land.
