As Wendy grows older she discovers how Peter's adolescence is no longer emotionally full filling her desire to see Neverland. And so, Wendy doesn't return to Neverland for many years. Peter also notices her growing obsession with the Pirates.
Chapter 1
After several years of telling stories, fifteen years to be exact, the stories ended. Remaining was Peter coming back to an empty nursery looking for the children he had once befriended. In their place he found two grown men and a tall beautiful woman with long blonde hair, sky blue eyes and an angelic smile. He found that the stories she once told the boys were now replaced with stories of how she lives her life and how being an adult is so much better than being a child. Peter found then stories very much boring and told Wendy he would not be returning. After much persuasion on Wendy's behalf Peter agreed to bring Wendy to Neverland one last time.
Standing on the ledge of the window seal of the nursery which was now a study for Wendy's father the aging woman and young Peter Pan stepped out and flew up; Second star to the right and straight on till morning. Wendy never stopped talking once arriving in Neverland. She did not remember how beautiful the sky was reflecting off the ocean. She did not remember mermaid lagoon and she remembered the pirates being much more hideous. Peter annoyed by her incessant talking disappeared into the night leaving Wendy on the beach alone to wander the island on her own.
Wendy fearful yet curious she wandered off down the shoreline. Climbing the jagged rocks and around the thick jungle she came upon Captain Hooks pirate ship. After quickly hiding into the thick brush watching in awe of the beautiful site before her eyes she admired the history of the ship and quickly gained a new found respect for the majestic boat. Large sea vessels were not made with such craftsmanship in England or anywhere else in the world for that matter. As her mind drifted off into thought she couldn't help but notice a man walking down the beach.
Gracefully walking in and out of the surf along the edge of the water she noticed and even more beautiful site than that of the ship. Tall, dark and handsome he was but through the thick brush she could not tell just who he was. And then with a twinkle of the sunlight she realized exactly who she was staring at how she could find such a retched man so irresistibly attractive. It was him, no other than Captain James Hook. Peter, her best friend, and his sworn enemy for life. As he walked closer to the thick brush she was hiding in Wendy could not help but cover her mouth in shock. His black hair glistening in the sun, his gorgeous blue eyes piercing unknowingly at her through the brush, she honestly believed she had fallen in love at first sight. Fell in love with the one person she could never have nor would ever have her, Wendy.
Hook knelt down in the sand in front of her and began talking to himself out loud. Drawing something on the ground she could not tell but what she did know was the tear falling down his cheek. He was looking for love but knew as long as he had an obsession for Peter Pan he would never find what he wanted more than anything else. As horn blew from the boat Hook stood and ran for the smaller vessel he brought to shore. After he was out of sight Wendy stood and looked at his drawing, a broken heart was etched into the sand.
Wendy rushed back to the tree house. With an excitement in her voice she called out for Peter to no avail. He was gone. No sign of the lost boys either. She decided to yell for Tink and with no surprise she was also not there. So Wendy sat in the tree house alone with her thoughts. How did she never notice the beauty in Captain Hook before, yes he was an awful man. But he was defiantly handsome just the same. Is it possible to tame Captain Hook? She could only dream because Peter would never forgive her for such an unspeakable act of loving his enemy. Was Peter capable of jealousy? He could never love her the way she once loved him.
