Love in Neverland

A sequel to Future Ties, Past Dilemma

A Jake and Sofia Tale

CH.1: Restless James

James was a year older and still stuck where he was. Sofia was getting married to Jake from Neverland while his other sister Amber was married to Peter Pan…of Neverland. There was a pattern there…find love and adventure elsewhere. Oh sure Sofia and Amber had some pretty friends but none of them really interested him. Each attempt to try and convince his father to open up the path to Neverland were met with stead refusal or excuses that made him want to bang his head against the wall. So…he did the next best thing.

"Peter…are you sure there is no other way to Neverland?" He asked his brother in law who was found in the study.

"I'm sorry James but the path is sealed for good I am afraid. You are getting bored huh?" James tried to pretend like he wasn't but there was no getting past those blue eyes of his.

"I was the same way, restless and always looking for adventure. In Neverland…well…I tended to be away more than there. The day that Jake, Cubby, and Izzy came into my life I knew I had found people to look after Neverland while I was away. Of course I was always there when they needed me."

"Well…what other places did you go to? I mean maybe if I go there I can find a way to Neverland-." James saw the look in Peter's face and knew what a tricky situation he was in, so, he let it drop.

"Travel between worlds can be tricky James…one slight wrong move and you can wind up somewhere you don't want to be. Enchancia is your home, as it is mine now, and while parts of me long to see how everyone is doing back home…I can't chance it." Peter seemed to have the final say on matters and he slowly stood up taking one last look at the study.

"I understand Peter…my sister is lucky to have found a guy like you." James left the study and noted a crumbled paper in his pocket. "Huh…how did this get there?" Looking around he ducks into another room and unfurls the letter finding writing on it:

James there is a way to get to Neverland

However in order to do so you need a blue star

This star can only be found in one place and one place only

In a place called…London.

How you get there is up to you…

Oh and if you go there find my friend Wendy

James didn't know how to take this…and yet…a sudden joy coursed through his veins.

"James…what are you doing in here?" James nearly started when he saw Sofia and Jake sitting near the fireplace.

"Um…well…you see…ok promise you won't tell Amber I told you this. I'm looking to go to Neverland…and…Peter sort of gave me a way." James was a horrible liar, he had a tell so he might as well come clean to his sister and future brother in law.

"James…if Amber finds out this Peter can be in trouble. What does it say?" Sofia walked over and took the note from her brother. Jake stood beside her and the two read it to each other, as couples did.

"London…wow…I've been there only once, great place. Wendy is great at telling stories…she has two brothers Michael and John. It's been a long time though…not sure if they still live together or not. Still…how you get there is a mystery even to me-."

"I might know a way…but it can be tricky. Here let me explain," she goes into every detail imaginable and James finds it hard to wrap his head around, so does Jake apparently. "Ok cliff notes, transporting an individual across a huge distance involves magic that is finely crafted to match the individual…if one part of the spell is off the person can wind up lost…stuck in a place of no retrieval. It is advanced stuff…lucky I learned it before Mr. Ceedric took over for his father. I will miss him."

"Ok…so…anything else less risky we can do?" James looks at both but clearly there is no other way. "Sof…could you sound more confident…I mean this is my body you are talking about throwing all the way to London."

"That is the other thing…unless the person has a strong visual to go off of…you won't even make it that far." Sofia looked away ashamed and James felt crushed.

"I've never been to London…how am I supposed to imagine a place I've never been to?" James might as well kiss his chances of adventure goodbye at this rate.

"Hold up…I've been to London…what if you tap into my mind to get a visual of London then place it in James's mind…like it is his own? I don't want James to miss out on the adventure that we have had. Yes it was danger wrought and led to us being separated but hey…maybe James will find his soulmate out there."

James nodded his head and grinned at Jake. He had his doubts when Jake returned but he had stuck around and he had proven a great match for Sofia. Looking at Sofia he saw her have that worried look on her face.

"Sofia I'll be fine…besides it isn't like I'll be going to London anyway. So…let us hold hands and get this under the way before Amber breaks Peter."

In the next hour, yeah it took that long to prepare…everything was all set up and the trio were holding hands over a cauldron that was spewing up a disgusting odor that made his eyes water. Sofia was chanting something under her breath and her hair was blowing about her face.

"Well James this is it…remember find the blue star and contact Wendy. When you get to Neverland tell everyone hi for me." Jake gave his hand a squeeze and he squeezed back. The room began to spin crazily now and his legs began to feel like butter.

"James…come back alright…promise me…" Sofia looked straight at him and James noted the way her eyes looked bigger than usual and filled with grandness like he was staring at the universe.

"Yeah Sofia…you have my word…" James felt the room slipping away from him and slowly but surely he disappeared out of view…his screams nothing but a soft spoken word. And with that his journey began.
