Forever in Never Neverland

by Trissica

To say that the story ends as Wendy watched Peter fly away would be a lie, the adventures continue for the boy that never dreamed of growing up. For what troubles adults could never trouble child. But feeling... well that's another matter entirely.

1. Chapter 1

The window that will always remain open

Most windows, when the nights were growing colder and the sow fell down from the sky, are shut, barred away to keep out the cold. But here is one house, along the corner, not far from the schoolyard and the bank, is a quaint house that has one window that remains open all year. If someone walked up and inquired about it, to any of the children, they would smile as if looking back on a fond memory and say, "He shall always be welcome should he ever want to come and listen to more of Wendy's stories. After all, they are always about him." And then the child would leave them, because what bothers an adult could never trouble a child.

The night that the children of the Darling household had disappeared from the gossiping lips of their neighbors and had fallen away completely forgotten because the world moves on with the adults of the world that could not slow down. But for the children, all nine of the Darling children could never forget their adventures there.

Late at night when the lamplights were lit and the stars glowed in the sky, each child would fly back to the land where a boy that would never grow up waited for them. A smile on his face and an adventure in his eyes; no matter how old they grew or the adults of the world tried to change them, those that were caught up in the world of Neverland could never leave it completely behind even as they grew up like all children do.

Yet no matter how many years went by or the weather that crept into their room, the window would always remain open, hoping that one night the faint tinkle of a bell and the laughter of one fearless boy would come back to them and offer up adventures once again.
