Okay so I know that I have not finished any of my other stories but I had an idea for this one and I couldnt help but start writting it. Here's my shot at trying to write a Peter Pan story. The idea came to me over a month ago when I watched Return to Never Land again. I love that movie and I enjoyed it just as much as the original. I always loved Jane and thought that she and Peter were very interesting together. And so while watching the part where she is made a lost girl by Peter, I couldn't help but wonder what if she was a real real lost girl? And so I came up with this idea with help by reading the original Peter Pan novel and incorporating ideas and things from Return to Never Land and other Peter Pan books. I wasn't going to post but decided why not and so now here it is. This is based on the Disney version. I hope you all like it though and please reveiw.
I DO NOT, WILL NOT, CANNOT OWN PETER PAN. Not even faith, trust, and pixie dust can help me out with that.
Enjoy!:D
All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up and the way Wendy knew was…..and now I will stop for this story is not of Wendy's, but of her daughter Jane.
Yes, we all know of Wendy Darling's adventures with Peter Pan and how he whisked her away to Never Land with her brothers John and Michael and gave them all an adventure that they would never forget. But alas, the Darling's returned home and, to Peter's slight disappointment, grew up. But although many would think, Wendy's adventures did not end there. She married a lovely man named Edward and had a wonderful daughter named Jane. Her greatest adventure yet.
Jane was everything Wendy wanted and more. She had her hair, eyes, and even her smile. She was a sweet child and although she could not yet talk, Jane had a certain special something about her. What that was, Wendy did not yet know. But the happiness slowly ended when Wendy got a message from her brother, John, about Michael. Michael was living outside of London for his studies but became very ill and he had yet to start a family. So Wendy, feeling sorry and worried for her brother, volunteered to leave London for a little while and take care of Michael until he got well.
Wendy and Edward left Jane with a Nanny. It was heart breaking for them to part with their daughter but they could not take Jane with them. She was only a baby. And so baby Jane stayed with Mrs. Primrose, the nanny Wendy hired until she and Edward got back. Although Mrs. Primrose had great qualities about her such as knowing how to care for a baby due to years of experience and being able to tend to wounds, eyesight was definitely not one of them. The poor elderly woman was as blind as a bat. But what she lacked in eyesight, she gained in kindness. Lucky for her she was not alone and had Nana Two assisting her.
Nana Two was one of old Nana's pups. The runt of the litter if you well. But because of that, Wendy decided to keep her and name her Nana Two hoping that she would follow in her mother's footsteps. Which she did, becoming the nanny of Wendy's family. And Nana Two was ecstatic of Jane's arrival, always staying near her where ever she goes. But unfortunately for Nana Two, Mrs. Primrose wasn't a fan of dogs. She would try to get along with Nana Two in the house, but when it came to taking a stroll in the park she refused to take Nana Two with them. This was a big mistake. But if Mrs. Primrose wouldn't have made that mistake, this story would have never happened. And so this is when our story really begins. Well…not our story, but the story of Jane.
You see during one of her strolls at the park, Mrs. Primrose was too busy feeding the squirrels to notice that baby Jane was wiggling restlessly in her pram. After many wiggles and wails, Jane somehow managed to fall off her pram and, like a cat, landed on her hands and feet. She proceeded to crawl into a bush where she was unseen by the many people that passed by.
After finishing with the squirrels, Mrs. Primrose exited the park with Baby Jane's pram. Inside the pram was not Jane of course, but a squirrel that snuck in to search for food. The poor old woman was fooled into thinking that the squirrel was baby Jane due to her poor vision. But though the woman could do nothing about her sight, it was still her fault for she was given a perfectly good dog as a helper that would never let anything like this happen. But oh well, what's done is done.
Seven days passed and Jane remained unclaimed. Mrs. Primrose still believing the squirrel was the baby despite Nana Two barking nonstop in panic and warning. But there was nothing much poor Nana Two could do for Mrs. Primrose, aggravated by the dogs "disrespectful attitude", had tied her up to her kennel outside. Since seven days passed and Jane still remained unclaimed, fairies carried her off and took her to her new home. Never Land.
They dropped her off in Hangman's tree where she would become what all lost babies were. A lost boy.
Peter and the lost boys were playing a game of hide and no seek. This was a game that Peter created where everyone must hide and the person who stayed hidden the longest wins. The game would last hours, even days. In fact, this was day three of hide and no seek. Everyone still remained in the game except for Cubby who lost the first day when he spotted a fly and tried to hit it with his club. But the game was interrupted when a group of fairies dropped off a bundle on a bed made out of bear skin. The lost boys noticed and got out of their hiding spots to investigate what the bundle was.
Peter though, was so engrossed in the game that he did not acknowledge the presence of the fairies.
"Ha!" Peter yelled triumphantly as he jumped out of his hiding spot.
"I win! I am officially the undefeated champ of hide and no seek!"
Peter then frowned when he realized that the lost boys weren't paying attention to him and instead were all starring at the bear skinned bed.
"Hey! What's going on?" Peter asked slightly annoyed.
He flew towards the bed and his eyes widened at what he saw.
"It's…..another one of us." Slightly said as he starred at the baby wrapped in a blanket of pixie dust.
The rest of the lost boys nodded in shock, speechless.
"But…it's a girl!" Cubby yelled in realization.
The lost boys gasped. Peter frowned in confusion and picked the baby up.
"A lost girl?" he asked generally confused.
"But I thought that boys were the only ones stupid enough to fall off their prams." Nibs said.
"Yeah!" The twins yelled in agreement.
"Well..." Peter said scratching his head.
"Maybe it's not stupidity that causes babies to fall of their prams. Maybe it's a wanting for adventure." Peter said as he pulled the baby closer to his face.
The baby grabbed Peter's nose and pulled it.
"Ow!" Peter yelped as he pulled the baby farther away from his face.
The baby giggled and her eyes twinkled as she tried to reach for Peter's nose again. Peter starred at her in confusion but then his gaze softened. He pulled her closer and the baby stroked his nose with her tiny hand. Peter smiled softly as the baby giggled happily. The lost boys all starred in awe.
"She has... something about her…" Peter said as he starred at her in wonder.
"Like what? A booger?" Cubby asked in confusion.
Peter frowned.
"No, not a booger. She has…..umm….."
"Spunk." Tootles said quietly.
The lost boys and Peter gasped.
"Tootles…..did you just…."
"Speak?" The lost boys said, joining in with Peter.
Tootles pointed at the baby timidly.
"Spunk." he said.
He then looked up at Peter with soft timid eyes.
"Spunky."
Peter processed what Tootles said before he spoke once again. He nodded at Tootles, who gave a small smile.
"Boys, meet the new member of the lost boys. Spunky!"
The lost boys cheered. Peter smiled happily as the lost boys jumped in excitement.
"Hullo Spunky." Peter said as he nuzzled her nose causing her to giggle once more.
I hope you liked it. I actually had fun writting it:D I had sort of a hard time trying to pick a lost boy/girl name for Jane. But what I did was think about what word described Jane's personality and spunky was the first thing that came to me. I really hope you liked it and thanks for reading.
