I Won't Grow Up!!

My name is Tamisha or Tami Martin. I am 5'3 and I have dark brown eyes and hip length brunette hair. I am not like most 16 year olds. I am a Peter Pan fanatic I know the whole history of the play,novel,musical,and movies. Why? My mom is related to J.M Barrie he's my great great great great grandpa. I guess that's why Peter chose me.

One night in April I was awakened by someone hushing a tinkling noise. "Shh Tink!"

WAIT! TINKERBELL!? In my room?!

I turned on my light and lo and behold Peter Pan was staring at me.

He was almost like Walt Disney's team drew him.. the red hair, outfit,brown eyes . The only differences were he was about my age, and about two inches taller than me.

"Hello Peter." I said politely

"How do you know me?" he asked. Sitting next to me.

"One of my ancestors was J.M Barrie" I said.

"Ah, a Lost Boy." he recalled

"He was a Lost Boy?!" I was shocked.

"Yes." Peter laughed at my reaction "One of my bravest."

"Tink come say hello to..."

It was my turn to laugh "Tami."

Tinkerbell came and waved. She was a perfect match to the Disney film.

"Hello Tink." I said before she disappeared

"Why are you here anyway Peter?" I asked with pure curiosity in my voice.

"I came to ask you to come away with me" he replied taking my hands into his soft but callused ones, and looking in my eyes "will you?"

When I looked into his eyes I knew my answer.

All my life I was ridiculed even by my own parents. If I went with Peter I would never worry about them again!

"Yes Peter" I exclaimed hugging him.

He hugged me back for a moment before taking my hand

"Good. Well I guess Tink didn't pack your stuff for nothin'" he joked

Tinkerbell sprinkled me with pixie dust and we were off to a place where I would never grow up!!
