"To Love, Will Be An Awfully Big Adventure"
It was a cold and stormy November's night, when Peter first set eyes upon the magnificent creature that rekindled feelings he thought he'd lost forever after loosing Wendy.
There she was, sitting crossed-legged on the wooden floor of an oh so familiar nursery, surrounded by her friends, in front of a small, silver TV. Her blonde hair was swept loosely into a ponytail, and her deep blue eyes, bright and alert, sparkled in the dimly lit room. She was dressed in a white vest top, emblazoned with the phrase "Little Miss Naughty", a pair of baby blue shorts, and blue Eeyore slippers. Peter was entranced.
"What can we do now?" came the voice of one of the girls. She had short brown hair, green eyes, and wore long pyjama bottoms that matched her red vest top. "I mean come on, it's way too early to go to sleep." There was a short pause as the girls thought about the question, and what the best answer would be. "How about we do each other's hair and make-up?" replied a girl dressed all in pink. Everyone exchanged glances before the girl dressed in the red vest top replied, "Or how about we don't?". The room fell silent again.
"I've got it!" exclaimed a girl. She got to her feet and walked over to a cupboard, where she spent a few moments rummaging for something. The other girls sat in silence and watched, as she emerged holding some candles. She placed them around the room, lighting each of them before she moved to another spot, and returned to the position she had previously occupied on the floor.
"Well, what's your great idea then Debz?" asked the girl in the red vest top. All attention was on Debz. "How about, Mel tells us a story?" she replies while glancing at the girl Peter was so entranced by. Mel's eyes nervously searched the room hoping, and praying, for the rest of the girls to object to this idea, but she was met by an array of smiling faces. "No way!" she replied while shaking her head from side to side.
"Oh but PLEASE Mel" came Debz's voice, "your so good at telling stories, and it's a great way to pass the time." Mel didn't seem convinced. "Look it's MY sleep-over and I'll decide what's going to happen at it" says the girl in the red vest top, "and I've decided, that Mel's going to tell us a story!" "Seems like I've no choice in the matter then? But it's your sleep- over Lee-Ann, and I suppose, what you say goes." The girls all clapped their hands as Mel finished speaking, and began to get comfy for the story ahead.
"Tell us one about a princess trapped in a castle by her evil step-mum, and her only way out is being rescued by a knight in shinning armour!" says the girl dressed in pink. "Or how about instead of Kelly's fairytale world, you tell us a story about action and adventure?" came the voice of the remaining girl in the room. Her hair was long, dark brown, and lay in ringlets. She wore a green nightdress and had a pair of socks on to warm her feet. Kelly gave her a disgusted look before glancing at Mel for some help.
"Right, Kelly wants a story with love in it, and Jenny wants one with adventure, so what do you two want in it?" asks Mel. "Pirates!" exclaims Debz, "Lots of pirates!". "And I want one based on a real story" replies Lee-Ann. "Typical" say the rest of the group in unison. "Ok. So my stories going to based on a real life event that involves love, adventure, and pirates" says Mel, reciting the list of requests given by her audience, "you don't want much do you?". Her blue eyes searched the room for inspiration. "Got it!" The room fell silent.
"Well?" came Lee-Ann's voice, "Are you going to let the rest of us know?". "Certainly. I'm going to tell the story of Peter Pan." Everyone in the room had a smile on their face except Lee-Ann, but the biggest smile of all came from outside the window, on the face of Peter Pan.
