Disclaimer: The world of Peter Pan does not belong to me, and the rights to this amazing creation go to J. M. Barrie.
A/N: From Narnia to Neverland! I've always loved this universe (books, movies), but it really surprised me just how quickly and suddenly I went into this.
First off, I am a Peter/Wendy fan; always have been. I think their relationship is sweet and so innocent and heartbreaking. But I became interested into another person after reading Jodi Lynn Anderson's book a few days ago that is named after the central character: Tiger Lily. The book's depiction of her and the relationship she has with Peter fascinated me, and I found myself wanting to write about it. I couldn't leave out Wendy though, and so you have this, the prologue to my short little story about the complicated relationship between the three.
I have taken inspiration and facts from the book, the 2003 movie, and from my own imagination. And I would also like to point out that if I continue to write in this universe, this story will most likely not have anything to do with my other works: this is just a single story that came from somewhere deep in my mind and would not be tied in with any others.
You'll get to actually see the characters in the first chapter, so please don't leave after this, even though it's very short. This is my first time working with Sir Barrie's beloved characters, so review and let me know what you think of all this madness!

All children grow up, except for one, and that is Peter Pan.
But does he really stay a child forever? Does he begin to grow up without even realizing it?
The best way to answer this is to look into his very heart.
Peter is wild, as untamable as any beast and sometimes as vicious. He knows no fear, but when times arise when he does, in fact, feel the dreaded fright, it leaves him just as suddenly as it came. He is brave and impatient and proud and childish.
And though many would not guess by seeing the feral boy in the skeleton leaves, he loves. This special sentiment is reserved for the ones that fall into his chaotic life, the ones that he goes to when even his own darkness becomes too much. He has loved many, and in return has been loved by many, for his charm is enough to captivate the most stoic. He has forgotten most of them, and though they never truly recover from this loss, they do not blame him; it is his nature to be forgetful.
But there are two girls—two completely different girls who share only their deep love for him—that have managed to truly charm Peter's heart and still have hold of it today.
