Dislaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this fanfic except Wendy whose name I completely owe to JM Barrie for popularizing.

A/N: Before you start with my story, let's get a ew things straight: I am doing everything in my power to make this fanfic better than most. I didn't find it right to do ANOTHER story about JM Barrie meeting ANOTHER woman after Sylvia's death to cope with the feeling of loss which then leads to ANOTHER love story which rotates around love, problems and redemption. No, I didn't think I'd bring justice to Finding Neverland or to JM Barrie f I wrote another anic that went like that. Let me tell you, it's BADLY CLICHED and nothing makes me laugh so hard, gagging and thinking of how the world has no more imagination than BAD CLICHES (or any cliches at all) paired with BAD GRAMMAR and UNREALISTIC LINES AND SUPERICIAL, PERFECT CHARACTERS. (And yes, if you think the last few lines have been ofensive then do something about it and don't blame it on me, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE AN AUTHOR WHO LOVES CLICHES AND PAIRING JM BARRIE WITH ANOTHER WOMAN. I mean, do you think that lowly of JM Barrie? Do you think he's the type of person who would love someone else even to the extent of divorce and then when the person he loves dies he becomes desperate to ease his pain by meeting someone new to move on with? NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

These being said, welcome to my fanfic which I am aiming NOT TO BE CLICHED.

Oh, and on a final note, if you're a fan of Johnny Depp and one of your reasons or making a fanfic on Finding Neverland is because of his portrayal of JM Barrie then I suggest you do him justice by writing with proper grammar, making sure your characters are not perfect (i.e. Mary-Sue) and that they are realistic and believable, the lines incorporated are proper, needed and adds to the feel of the entire story and most of all, DO NOT DO ANY MORE CLICHES OF JM BARRIE RUNNING OF WITH ANOTHER WOMAN.

Thank you.

The Untold Story of Wendy

Prologue:

James Matthew Barrie and Mary Ansell were married for 15 years. James met Mary when Jerome K. Jerome recommended her for a supporting role in one of Barrie's plays. The two became very close friends. Eventually, they married in 1894 after two years of illness on James' part and loving care on Mary's part. Sadly, the relationship was said to be a sexless one, therefore they did not have any children.

That's where history went wrong.

James Matthew Barrie and Mary Ansell produced a child. A daughter. They were married for fifteen years, but slept together a year earlier. When the two were married in 1894, their daughter was a year old. This fact, of course, was concealed to prevent scandals from arising later on. And so, when James and Mary were married in 1894 and their daughter was a year old, family from both sides were careful about talking about the topic, saying that the child was James' niece and that her parents died and left her in the care of James and his wife.

The daughter knew for a fact that this was not true so she cried whenever one of her uncles would say that she was not the child of James and Mary. One night, her father James came up to her room and assured her that they were only doing this for protection and that one day, she would understand. She stopped crying and hugged her father before silently sleeping in his arms.

And so, the child grew to be an avid writer and an adventurous girl who'd rather wear a comfortable pair of pants than a dazzling silk gown. She was sixteen years of age when her parents separated.

One of the most known facts about James Matthew Barrie was that he popularized the name 'Wendy' which was uncommon in both Britain in America. And so, it was only rational for him to name his daughter Wendy.

And that name was what he gave the heroine of Peter Pan.

Wendy.
