Growing up, Wendy never imagined she would forget Neverland, and she never did. But, as time continued and Peter refused to come and see her, her hope slowly was obliterated and replaced by the great sadness of knowing she had truly grown up and had to leave the land of her dreamland behind her.
Suitors came, none of which pleased Wendy or made her heart race just a little bit quicker than normal, as Peter had all those years ago. Oh, how she longed for him now. He was not coming and her parents were forcing her to pick a husband to be wed on the day after her twenty-first birthday. Which just so happened to be, oh right, tomorrow!
So her choices were limited. She paced around her room, which was much smaller than the nursery, which she had moved out of promptly after her last adventure with Peter. Michael had unfortunately let it slip to Mother and Father over breakfast that Wendy and Peter had kissed, at which point both parents had simply lost it. It was then her parents began the rush to get her married, worried she would run off with another boy. To her, it was all truly ridiculous.
Shaking her head, she knelt on the window seat, her window opened unto the night sky. She had locked it so that her parents may never, ever, close her windows, no matter how hard her father may try. She played with the old acorn around her neck still, wishing on the second star to the right.
"I have not wished on you since I first met Peter, as he said wishing was for emergencies only, but this is an emergency to me. I am going to be forced to marry a man I do not love tomorrow, based only on his class in society. Doesn't that sound just absolutely dreadful?! So, please, I beg of you, allow me to have one more adventure in Neverland! Please, oh, please! I turn twenty one in an hour and half. So, if you can steal me away before he sun dawns, I would be very grateful. Please. This is my wish." She finally finished, still holding the acorn. She rose to her bare feet, turning towards her canopy bed, but rushed back after a few seconds. "Oh! I almost forgot! Good night, Peter!"
