The American Adventure

Ch. 1 Going to America

Wendy sighed tiredly as she lied on her bed in her own room. She had just gotten home from spending the whole day with her aunt. Ever since Wendy had turned 14 three years ago she has spent more and more time with her aunt. Her aunt insisted it was time for her to start acting like a lady. So Wendy was taught how to walk, eat, and talk in a proper way. She started to take piano and singing lessons, taught to her by her aunt. She even was pushed to attend every social event, intended for people of her age, meeting people of high rank and of importance. Wendy was truly becoming a lady, and she hated it. She dreamed about going away. Going somewhere far away from all the lessons, social events, and all together the proper way of life.

Wendy often thought about Neverland. How free and safe she had felt there. Especially, if Peter was there by her side. Peter! She smiled when she thought about him. He had kept his promise. Every now and then he would come to the window and visit with the boys and Wendy. She sometimes wanted him to ask her to go away to Neverland with him again. If it was up to her she would go. But she knew how her parents felt about her leaving, for they have watched their children more closely now ever since that night they first disappeared. So Wendy knew going to Neverland was out of the question. But she still wanted to go somewhere, where she could spread out and have her own space.

By luck, her chance came through the mail. Wendy's cousin Susan had invited Wendy to come and stay with her for a few months at her home in America.

Wendy jumped for the chance after a few arguments and complaints with her aunt and her father.

HER AUNTS HOUSE

Aunt: Wendy, dear what about all your lessons and all the social events you will miss. Aren't those important to you at all?

Wendy: Yes Auntie they are. But I can always start where I left off from my lessons when I get back, and there will always be more social events to attend to. Please, please say it's o.k. for me to go. It would only be for a few months.

Aunt: What do your parents say about it?

Wendy: Mother thinks it's a wonderful idea. Father didn't at first, but Mother has talked him into it. So it's alright with both of them. PLEASE!

Her aunt can't help but give in.

Aunt: All right! All right! You may go. But you have to promise to work extra hard when you get back.

Wendy: Oh! I will Auntie. I will!

With that she gives her aunt a hug and thanks her. She then starts on her way home, daydreaming about herself boarding a ship to America in less then 2 weeks.

End Ch. 1

Well what did you think of the first chapter? This is just one of the stories I have started now. I'm kind of writing my stories all in different ways to see how they all do and which way people like better.
