Chapter One

Peter feels the sword stab through his side causing shooting pain scream through his body. Peter stares at Captain Elizabeth as he walks back with blurry vision and soon finds himself falling down. Peter feels the world swirl around him as the memories of Jimmy betraying him fills his mind. He cringes at the thoughts as the world comes crashing upon him.

Peter wakes up in sweat screaming as his eyes scan frantically around the room. His teeth grind together as tears stream down his cheeks. "It was only a dream...I'm here in London...not in Neverland..." Peter whispers to himself trying to clam himself down after the recurring nightmares. Peter stands up out of his bed still feeling his heart pound in his chest violently. Peter walks to the window staggering from sleepiness; he opens the window feeling the breeze dance about his face. He breathes in deep through his noise filling all the way up in his lunges; he breathes out of his mouth lifting off the ground flying out of the window.

Peter flies above the roofs of the London becoming a wake as the wind blows in his face. He soars down to a window; his heart beats with the rhythm of his knocks on the window. He hears the lock unlatch and open half way. Peter pushes open the door; he floats into the room. Peter softly lands on the soft carpet.

"What is it, Peter?" Wendy asks groggily as she sits down on the side of her bed. Peter paces the room back and forth trying to find his words to say. Wendy watches him realizing he is not okay.

"I keep have these dreams, no, nightmares, of when I was in Neverland. Not the happy times, but the worst times." Peter explains rapidly as he feels tears stink he's sleepy eyes.

Wendy rushes over to Peter comforting him. Ever since Peter return to London he has been having a hard time adjusting to life. Peter was adopted two years ago by a nice family friends of the Darlings; they could never understand their new son and why he was so strange. Peter was and still is Peter Pan; lost in his pain.

"It's okay, Peter..." Wendy whispers as she runs her fingers through his perfect brown combover hair. Peter looks lovingly into Wendy's eyes as the memories of Neverland fade back to the back of his mind.

"I love you..." Peter whispers in Wendy's ear as he leans down to kiss her. Wendy smiles broadly at him as their lips meet. Wendy pulls away feeling knots in her stomach.

"I love you too..." Wendy whispers feeling as if she spoke any louder her words wouldn't mean anything. Peter felt his heart stop at Wendy's words. He heard her say she loved him ever since they were younger, but not like this. This time she meant every word it slurred off her tongue in a smoky way it made him blush. Peter kisses her once again ,but this time tasting her lips as he felt the world spin around them.

"I made the right chose staying with Wendy..." He thinks to himself distantly.

"You have to go now..." Wendy whispers pulling away from Peter. Peter sighs as he cast his eyes down ward to the ground with his old mischievous smile.

"Fine." Peter slurs reluctantly as he turns to fly out the window. Wendy watches Peter fly off feeling her heart race in her chest with butterflies swarming in the pit of her stomach as her feelings grow stronger.

Curly and Peter stroll down the cobblestone road of London enjoying their first day off from the ports in a month. Curly sighs as they lean their backs against the wall they used to hang out at all the time. "Peter, do you ever miss Neverland?" Curly asks as puffs on a cigarette. Peter smiles down to the ground knowing deep inside his heart he misses it.

"I do, I really miss Tink. I sometimes wish I never of abandon her, but then I look at Wendy; I don't regret anything." Peter answers softly as he thinks back on to last night when Wendy told him she loves him.

"How are you and Wendy?" Curly asks looking over at Peter with a crooked smile.

"I went to visit her last night." Peter answers while he beats his hands on the wall in a rhythm.

"Oh?" Curly asks winking at Peter. Peter rolled his eyes knowing what he's friend is referring too.

"No! I went to tell her about my nightmare that was bothering me." Peter explains blushing as Curly laughs at his friend.

"I heard you screaming a lot lately in the middle of the night like when we were in Neverland." Curly says seriously now concern for his friend.

"Wendy told me she loved me last night. I heard that a lot when we were younger, but it was different this time." Peter explains with his words floating in the still air avoiding Curly's statement not wanting to talk about his nightmares.

"Woah, she's in-love with you." Curly says shock knowing they are only eighteen, but Peter still had a child's heart. Peter realizes what Curly just said was true. He thinks back on Wendy's and his kiss last night; how much love was in it. Peter feels his heart start to race and without debating with himself he makes a decision that will change his life. Peter quickly walks away straight down the road to the Darling's.

"Peter, where are you going?" Curly asks as he throws down his cigarette.

"Curly, I think I'm insane, but I want to marry Wendy." Peter exclaims feeling his emotions erupt in his chest leaving him breathless. Curly stops in mid-walk mouth a gap at Peter's words.

"Peter, have you gone made! You're only eighteen! You barely have enough money to support yourself, and you still live with our parents. You work at the ports everyday making minimal wage." Curly quickly rebuttals trying to talk some since into his friend.

"I know, but I want to be with her forever. Curly, she's not just in-love with me; I'm in-love with her too!" Peter exclaims spinning on his heal looking at Curly. Curly chuckles realizing every word Peter said was true. Peter puts his arm around Curly giving him the same smile he used to give him when they were fourteen.

"Hey, old chap how about we go and have some fun." Peter slurs with a twinkle in his eye. Curly smiles knowing exactly what he was talking about.
Peter and Curly walk closely to people in a large crowd as they pick pocket the people. Peter's slick hand slips into a mans pocket pull out his wallet. Peter takes the money the man had, and puts it into his own pocket. Peter then as slay as a fox puts the wallet back into the man's pocket.

Tootles runs up to Peter as Curly and him count the treasures they got. "Peter, Twins is in trouble! Some bastards came and ruffed him up!" Tootles explains half way out of breathe. Peter and Curly run down the street to find Twins curled up in the corner of an alley. Peter picks up Twins stroking his hair as if he was his big brother.

"I'm going to take him to Wendy." Peter says looking up at Curly and Tootles as he floats holding Twins. Peter never really flew in broad daylight he was always afraid he would be caught, but he needed to get Twins to Wendy quickly. Peter floats up in the air with Twins cradled in his arms as he flew to the Darlings.

Wendy opens the door to find Peter holding Twins in his arms limped. "What happen?" Wendy asks while she moves to the side letting Peter in.

"Some kids beat up Twins." Peter answers laying Twins on the couch slowly.

Wendy walks into the living room carrying a glass of water for Twins. Twins gladly takes the water as Wendy sits next to Peter on the coffee table. Twins looks downcast as Peter slips his hand into Wendy's.

"What made them do this to you?" Wendy asks motherly with soft kind eyes. Twins feels the tears feel his eyes as failure rises in his chest.

"I wanted to be like you, Peter." Twins explains with a long sigh. Peter stares at Twins shock.

"Why would you want to be like me?" Peter asks stupidly knowing why.

"Peter! Your Peter Pan!" Twins exclaims with tear threatening to spill over any minute. Twins didn't want Peter to see him weak, but he was in a lot of pain not just physical, but emotionally too.

Peter sighs wishing Twins would understand that he's never gonna be like him. "Twins..." Peter starts but Wendy interrupts him quickly.

"Twins, you don't need go starting trouble." Wendy says sweetly stroking his hair.

"I wasn't starting trouble! I was helping a little boy; he got away but I wasn't fast enough and they got me." Twins explains frustrated at Wendy and Peter. Twins stands up feeling the pain from his ribs shoot through his side, but he was too angry to care. "Peter you use to help us when we were in trouble! That's what you taught me is to defend the weak!" Twins exclaims directly at Peter as he waves his hands in the air.

"I know...I did..." Peter slowly says feeling his heart sink in his stomach. Since Peter and his crew return nothing good has happen to them. The only ones who have stayed with Peter was Tootles, Curly, and Twins everyone else moved on and grew up.

"I want to go back to Neverland..." Twins puffs out after a long silence grew in the room . Peter shot his head up looking at Twins shock at his words.

"We can't go back..." Peter whispers feeling a knot grow in his stomach knowing deep down inside he wants to go back. Wendy looks away feeling guilty for most of the heartbreak that has happen between Peter and the lost boys. Twins sighs; he picks up his hat and leaves.

Peter leans his head back on chair as he looks straight a head in thought realizing he is truly growing up. Wendy looks down to the ground feeling sorry for him knowing what he's feeling. "Peter..." Wendy whispers low as she walks over to him concern about him. Wendy strokes her fingers through Peter's hair while she speaks "I know, it's hard, but Twin's will be alright."

"That's not it, Wendy. I'm growing up." Peter whispers throaty as he moves his head to the side to look up at Wendy. Wendy smiles slightly at him knowing he was hating this.

"Then go back to Neverland." Wendy says croaky as tears lined her eyes. Peter shakes his head no.

"I don't want to go back..." Peter says finally saying the words that only his mind would say. "I'm going to grow old, but I never have to grow up in my heart." Peter says with revelation to his words.

Wendy smiles at the boy who took her on a grand adventure and hopes for a better adventure with him. Peter smiles back leaning up to kiss her beautiful lips. Wendy turns away not wanting to be caught kissing Peter by her mother or father.

Wendy starts to walk away, but Peter grabs her wrist pulling her into his lap. Wendy is startled by his sudden movement. "When did I say you could leave, Love?" Peter asks wrapping his arms around her tiny waist. Wendy felt her stomach twist at his touch; her eyes lock with Peter's showing all the emotion she was feeling.

"Wendy, what would you say if I asks for your hand in marriage one day?" Peter asks not daring breaking there loving eye contact. Wendy's eyes grew wide as her heart raced with excitement to know Peter is thinking about marrying her.

"Yes..." Wendy puffs out breathy not meaning too, but the overwhelming emotions made it come out that way. Peter smiles out of relief feeling his heart pound in his chest loudly he was scared Wendy could hear it. Wendy wraps her arms out his neck as she plays with his hair. "Remember the first time we met." Wendy says with beautiful bright smile at Peter.

"How could I forget?" Peter asks playing with the lace on her shirt as they sit there together.

"I remember I was in amazement and wonder. You really caught my attention with your handsome features." Wendy says while she traces her finger down his strong jaw line. Peter's light sparkling green

eyes look at amazement at the beautiful young woman as she shows her affection towards him. Peter admires Wendy's long wavy light golden brown hair that cascade down her back in perfection.

"You're so beautiful..." Peter whispers husky as his eyes flicker up to meet hers. Wendy's greenish blue eyes are fill with love as she leans down to kiss Peter on the lips.

"I don't mean to interrupt you two, but I have to get something." John hollers with laughter as Wendy pulls away quickly standing up straightening her skirt. Peter stands up out of the chair with a crooked smile as Wendy tries to fix herself.

"Well I think I should go find your father." Peter says to Wendy as he picks up his hat off the couch. Peter gives a quick peck on her lips and then he leaves.
John looks over his shoulder at his sister who is biting her bottom lip as she sits down on the couch. "What is he talking to father about?" John asks suspicious.

"I think Peter is going to asks permission to marry me!" Wendy squeals jumping up and down clapping her hands. John drops his book in shock.

"He's only eighteen." John says with a chuckle. Wendy shakes her not caring their age, but knowing its true love.

Peter feels himself jogging down the road to the bank to talk to Wendy's father. Peter opens the big doors to the bank with crowds of people. Peter walks slowly catching his breath to Mr. Darlings office. Peter knocks on the door feeling his nerves suddenly rising in his throat. "Come in'." Mr. Darling hollers to the door giving Peter the signal to come in. Peter twist the door knob shakily as Mr. Darling stands up from his chair.

"Oh, hello, Peter." Mr. Darling says surprise to see young Peter standing at his door.

"Hello, Mr. Darling." Peter says shutting the door behind him.

"Come have a seat." Mr. Darling says pointing to the chairs in-front of his desk. Peter shakes his head in thank you and sits down, "What brings you here this afternoon?"

"Mr. Darling, I have come with an important question, regrading Wendy." Peter says strong finding his courage somewhere deep inside of him. Mr. Darling looks up from his papers he was reading; he slowly takes off his glasses staring at Peter with an eyebrow raised.

"What is it?" Mr. Darling asks suspicious.

"May I asks for your daughters hand in marriage?" Peter asks staring at Mr. Darling who is sits there shock. Mr. Darling sits there a while thinking on how to put his words nicely to Peter.

"Peter, your only eighteen and Wendy is seventeen; your just children. You don't even have a promising job, I'm sorry Peter, but no." Mr. Darling says with sorry deep in his eyes. Peter felt his heart stop at the sudden rejection.

"Sir, I don't mean right this very second or any time soon. I just want to get engaged so I don't have to worry she's leaving." Peter quickly says breathing heavy. Mr. Darling smiles understanding where peter is coming from.

"The only way I will let you be engaged to my daughter is if you promise to go to collage and get your degree." Mr. Darling smiles at Peter whose eyes light up.

"I promise." Peter says filling the joy of victory.

"Then yes, you can marry my daughter." Mr. Darling says with a big grin. "Thank you, sir!" Peter exclaims standing up fast turning to run out of the door to the jewelry store. Mr. Darling watches Peter run out of his office and jump in the air screaming "Yes!" Mr. Darling laughs as he sits back down.

Peter counts the money in his pocket before he walks into the jewelry store. Peter walks in unsure what ring he should buy her. Peter strolls down the jewelry store looking through the glass to look at all the beautiful rings.

"May I help you?" The store owner asks Peter standing in front of him. Peter looks up to see an old man looking at him "Yes, I'm here to buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend." Peter smiles loving the way that rolled off his tongue.

"I think I have something you might like." The store owner says with a smile as he opens the wooden door that is behind the window of rings. The owner pulls out a beautiful diamond ring. "This is an elena diamond cut; it has a gold band." Peter stares at the beauty of the ring; this was perfect.

"How much is it?" Peter asks holding the ring delicately in his hand.

"One-thousand nine hundred and fifty pounds." The man says taking the ring from Peter.

"Can I pay a month at a time because I only have a hundred pound with me at this time." Peter asks pull out the money he pick-pocket out of people. The man shakes his head yes and takes the money. The store owner wraps up Wendy's new ring.

Peter walks down the street to find Curly. Curly sits at the edge of the dock throwing rocks in the ocean. "Hey, Curly!" Peter hollers as the wind carries his voice towards Curly. Curly looks over his shoulder to see Peter walking towards him with a big bright smile.

"Hey!" Curly hollers back lighting a fag. Peter sits down next to Curly pulling out a black little box.

"I got it." Peter says cheery opening the box showing the new engagement ring that twinkles in the sunlight. Curly takes the ring in his hands wide eyed.

"By Jove! Peter it's beautiful, Wendy's gonna love it!" Curly says smiling as he checks out the ring. Peter smiles looking up in the speck of blue sky. "You want a fag?" Curly asks taking out a pack of his cigarettes. Peter looks down at the cigarettes and shakes his head yes.

"Thanks." Peter says as he lights his. Peter and Curly puff on their cigarettes before they spoke, "Wendy and I can't get married yet, I have to go to collage."

"What are you going do?" Curly asks leaning back on a wooden pole. Peter looks around taking a short puff on his fag.

"I'm ,well, not sure." Peter answers truthfully, "I need to tell Tootles and Twins."

"They aren't going like the news." Curly says looking at his friend.

"I know they aren't. I think I'm going to round up the old crew together." Peter says softly putting out his cigarette.

"I'll help you." Curly says with a smile as he lights a new fag. Curly was very addicted to cigarettes. Peter left to go find Wendy to asks her on a date.
Peter feels his heart fly out of his shirt as he floats off the ground as he walks to find Wendy. "Wendy!" Peter hollers spotting her through the crowd people walking down the street. Wendy turns out to see Peter running towards her pushing people past him to get to her. Wendy chuckles watching him try to get to her.

"Peter, what's the rush?" Wendy asks when Peter stops in-front of her out of breath.

"Are you available tonight?" Peter asks flickering his eyes down to the ground then looking back up at her with mischievous written in them.

"Yes, why?" Wendy asks suspiciously as Peter smile turns crooked.

"I have a special date for us tonight." Peter says slipping his hand into hers interlocking their fingers. Wendy smiles at him excitedly.

"Oh?" Wendy asks flirty moving closer to him. Peter smiles the smile any woman can't resist.

"So I'll see you tonight?" Peter asks swinging their hands back and fourth.

"Yes." Wendy answers looking up at Peter smiling stupidly happy at him. Peter kisses her cheek before leaving her. "I gotta go, but I'll pick you up tonight. Wear something pretty." Peter says with a wink as he backs away. Wendy shakes her head in okay before she turns to leave.

All the lost boys wait for Peter to appear at the ware house. "What does Peter want?" Nibs asks leaning against the wall of the old place they used to live in.

"He has something to tell us." Twins answers playing with his hat. Peter walks into the door pulling off his hat revealing his light brown hair. The old gang looks up at Peter they are taken back on how much older he looks: his figures sharpen, he became broader, and taller.

"Hello, mates." Peter announces as he stands in the middle of the group.

"So what's the news?" Slightly asks while he fixes his hat. Peter looks at all the boys with a smile.

"I'm going to asks Wendy to marry me!" Peter announces. All the boys except Curly stare at Peter in shock.

"Peter, that means your going to leave us!" Twins exclaims upset that his big brother figure is leaving. Peter puts his arm around Twins comforting him. "We are only getting in engaged." Peter says calmly. All boys argue with Peter hoping to change his mind.

"You can't grow up!" Nibs exclaims through the heat of the fight. Peter stares at Nibs taken back at his words.

"All of you grew up! I need to. Damn it I'm in love with Wendy, and I'm going to marry her! I'm going, I wish you all would support me." Peter yells frustrated as he storms away. Curly stands away from the group disappointed as the door of the warehouse slams shut. Nibs, Twins, Tootles, and Slightly stand there shock of Peter sudden out burst.

Peter buys pinkish red roses as he walks down the street towards the Darlings house. He knocks on the door in wrapped rhythm as he shallows down he's nerves and excitement. Wendy opens the door taking Peter's breathe away. She smiles at him wearing a dark red dress with her hair braided perfectly.

"Wendy, can you get anymore beautiful?" Peter asks as they walk down the street together.

"Maybe." Wendy says as her eyes sparkle as she looks at Peter. Peter wraps his arm around her waist leading her down an alley.

"Where are we going?" Wendy asks as they turn.

"You'll see." Peter answers as him and Wendy lift off the ground. They fly to Big Ben where Peter set up a beautiful picket for them. Wendy gasps at the beauty London looks from being so high.

"I forgot how beautiful it is up here." Wendy says softly as they shore through the sky. Peter looks at her with a smile. They softly land on a ledge of Big Ben. Wendy gasps even further at the beauty Peter made for them.

"Peter, It's beautiful!" Wendy exclaims kissing Peter's cheek. Peter twirls Wendy into his arms as they dance with no music around them. Wendy chuckles as he spins her out then back into his arms. Wendy leans her head on his chest with a long sweet sigh.

"Wendy, do you know how much I love you?" Peter asks slowly as each words is filled rich with love.

"How much, Peter?" Wendy asks feeling her heart fly away to the happy place of Neverland. Peter twirls them up into the sky slightly above Big Ben.

"My love makes me stay here, I want all of you, I fly a little every time I think of your name. I want to be with you forever." Peter slurs as he leans his head on to hers. Wendy melts at his words as she presses closer against his strong warm body as they dance in the sky.

Peter and Wendy laugh as they eat the food Peter packed for them. "I made slightly do it." Wendy shakes her head slowly in disapproval with a big grin. Wendy loves it when Peter tells her stories of when he was in Neverland.

"I can't believe he did it!" Wendy laughs as she takes a sip of her wine.

"He didn't hesitate to do it either! He was willing to take on that bloody pirate." Peter tells her as he puts his arm around her shoulders. Wendy snuggles close to Peter enjoying the close view of the stars. Peter stops telling the story as his hand reaches in his pocket; his fingers clasp around the small box.

"Remember what I asked about earlier today?" Peter asks Wendy nervously as he hinds his hand behind him. Wendy shakes her head yes, "Well, will you marry me?" Wendy breath is taken from her lungs as Peter opens the box revealing the beautiful ring. Wendy eyes fill with tears as she picks up the ring out of the box.

"Yes!" Wendy cries as tears trickle down her cheeks. Peter slips the ring on left ring finger feeling emotions that no words can describe. Wendy kisses Peter slowly and passionately as the clock strikes ten.

Peter pulls Wendy closer to him as they kiss; He slowly unties her braid to run his fingers through her beautiful golden brown hair. Wendy barely parts away to speak "When are we going to get married?" She asks innocently as she traces her fingers on his chest in a circler motion.

"Not any time soon. Your father said we could only be engaged for right now I have to go to collage, and get a promising job." Peter answers laying down on the roof top of Big Ben. Wendy smiles down at Peter as she lays next to him with her head resting on his chest as a pillow.

"What are you going to do?" Wendy asks softly as she breaths in and he breaths out.
"I'm not really sure right now, but I remember there is a job opening in Ireland down at the ports for three weeks with good pay." Peter explains as he runs his finger through Wendy's soft hair.
"You'll be leaving?" Wendy asks feeling sad in her heart.
"Only for three weeks to pay off the ring, but first I have too see if they have spots open." Peter explains flat examining her ring on her finger. Peter and Wendy fly back to her house in silence enjoying each others company. Wendy kisses Peter goodbye then walks back into her house.

As soon as Peter got home he went to bed. Peter slips under his sheets falling asleep as soon his head touches his pillow. Peter sees the orb as he sleeps causing him to squirm in his bed unable to wake up...
