"Alice and Peter"

Chapter 1

"All This Has Happened Before…"

All this has happened before and it will all happen again. But this time it once again happened in London. It happened on a quiet street in Bloomsbury. That corner house over there is the home of the Liddell family and the eternal boy Peter Pan had chosen this particular house because there were people in here who believed in him. But before we can start our story, here is what happened the last time that Peter Pan was here.

You see, Peter Pan had not too long ago taken three children from another house in this burrow of London to his home world, Neverland, a place where can any child could never grow up into adults. As a matter of fact, Peter could remember the time where he said goodbye to the girl that he had fallen in love with named Wendy Darling.

"I'm sorry, Peter," she said to him as he brought her and her brothers home. "I have to be here and I have to grow up."

Peter was very hurt by this, but he knew that Wendy had to be here, with her brothers and her family. He knew that Wendy would never come back to Neverland because of this decision.

"Can you tell my story to all who will listen?" he asked her, clutching her hands tightly. "You have always believed in me, Wendy and I will never forget you, always."

Knowing that this would be the last time he would ever see her, Peter and Wendy kissed for a long moment before breaking away as Peter and the lost boys took the commandeered pirate ship of Captain Hook's back to Never Land.

"I love you, Wendy," he whispered to himself as he steered the ship into the night, going into a cloud to stay hidden from the nonbelievers below.

As they headed into the clouds, Slightly, the lost boy in the fox skin, came up to Peter and took notice of his sad expression. He was the second in command of the lost boys and the one who was the most sensitive.

"Aw, come on, Pan," he said, trying to cheer his boss up. "There will be others who will come to Neverland. You just got to find someone who believes in you for who you are."

"I'm not sure, Slightly," replied Peter. "I thought Wendy was the one who would spend the rest of her life with me, with us as my friend for life. I can never replace her."

Slightly then began to remember of another girl that Peter had been having his eye on for some time. Peter had always had an admiration for young girls his age and anything beyond that was considered too old at the time.

"Wasn't there another girl who believed in you?" remarked Slightly. "You know, yellow hair with a black bow? She believes in you just as much as Wendy and her brothers. You should give her a chance, you know."

But, Peter stayed silent and thinking about the girl he had just brought home. However, he suddenly felt a sudden jerk and looked down to see his shadow trying to escape again.

"Aw, no," groaned Peter, trying to keep his shadow from leaving. "You are not leaving me again this time."

But the shadow suddenly jerked and Peter was thrown to the ground, causing the ship to lose its steering.

"Someone get the wheel!" he shouted, trying to catch the shadow that had broken away from him. Cubby, the lost boy in the bear skin ran up the wheel and managed to regain control of the ship.

"Got it, Pan!" he cried, but the sudden turn of the ship had caused Peter's shadow to leap off the ship and into the clouds below. "But your shadow is…"

Before Cubby could say anything however, Peter gave him a look that meant that he didn't want to hear what Cubby had to say and so, Cubby stayed silent. Knowing he had to find the shadow and fast, Peter decided to fly after it. But, before he could leap off the side of the ship, he saw the sun rise up and he had to wait until the night had returned before he could go after his shadow.

"I've got to find my shadow," he thought as the ship came down to the waters of Neverland. "Otherwise, my identity is known to everyone aside from children."

Soon, the ship landed in the water as Peter and the lost boys docked the ship close to the shore and returned to their newly rebuilt Hangman's tree. But, just as they were about to head back inside, they heard a loud series of drums coming from out in the distance.

"What is that?" wondered Nibs, the lost boy in a rabbit skin. "It sounds like the Indians must be hunting for something."

"What could they be hunting for?" added Slightly, motioning to the other lost boys to get their weapons. "There isn't enough food in this land for all of us."

Remembering that he still had to find his shadow, Peter then leapt up into the sky and called down to the lost boys.

"I don't think that they are hunting," he called down to them. "In fact, I don't think it is the Indians at all."

"Then what could it be?" asked Cubby. "Do you want us to investigate?"

"Investigate but don't attack," replied Peter, firmly. "If its not the Indians and not Hook and his pirates, then they are considered dangerous and I cannot risk losing you and my shadow. I'll be back soon!"

Peter then took off into the sky and quickly made his way back to London.

"Well, what do we do?" asked Cubby to Slightly, turning over to him. "Do we follow what Pan told us to do?"

"I guess we have to," replied Slightly and soon, he and the other lost boys left the safety of hangman's tree and followed the sounds to the source of the disturbance, not realizing what was going to happen…
