1. growing up?

AUTHOR NOTE: This is my first Peter fic, so be nice! Based mostly on the 2003 movie. Please let me know how it is. May change rating for later chapters depending on where my mind takes me. thank you and enjoy!

As Peter flew back towards Neverland he glanced back one last time to the Darlings' window. He had promised Wendy he would return to hear her stories, (about him!) but as he remembered his promise he frowned- Wendy would grow old, and sooner or later (he did not know which) she would tell no stories of his great adventures.

Feeling for only the second time in his life as if his heart was capable of breaking, (this feeling second only to the feeling Hook's words of the locked nursery and a husband on the Jolly Roger) Peter decided that promise or no promise, he would not return to Wendy's window, for in his mind, if he did not return, he could not be forgotten, and Wendy would never grow old in his memories.

A single tear went un-noticed down Peter's cheek as he continued towards Neverland and he hoped with all his being that he was strong and brave enough never to return to Wendy. His Wendy.

...........................................................................................................................................................................

Life in the Darling home was starting to return to normal, with the exception of the six new brothers. The children all attended school and without realizing it, the children were growing up. This is not to say they completely forgot about Neverland for they did not, but they all unconsciously accepted that Neverland and their adventures with Peter were in the past and growing up was their future.

Even Wendy did not fight her adolescence, but she never forgot about the boy who could fly, not for an instant. Every night she would remove Peter's "kiss" from around her neck and place it under her pillow before she slept in order to always keep it near. She believed that this nightly ritual allowed for her dreams to often be of Neverland adventures and of course Peter.

And so the time passed for the Darling children. Life was as it was intended to be for the growing youth, but none of them, not even Wendy, would have foreseen the adventure that would soon find them.

A/N: short yes, I'm sorry! I'm in the process of getting ready for vacation but I hope to post the second chapter later today! feedback is lovely
