Authors note: Hey everyone. Well, this story was written by me and a friend of mine, so you might notice changes in writing style throughout the whole way. O.K, I've already seen Tuck Everlasting 3 times, (It's my new favorite movie) but never read the book, but it doesn't really matter, because this isn't based on either. As much as I loved the story, I couldn't think of a new ending because it's been done a thousand different ways by the wonderful authors of Tuck Everlasting section. So, instead, since I had to write something, we took the characters from the movie, and we made a whole different plot. Well, it's somewhat the same, and still really different, just there's no magical spring, and nobody is living eternal. It's just the same characters, same time period, different plot. I hope you like it. Feel free to tell me the story sucked if you hated it, feel free to not even read it. But if you do, I hope you enjoy!
CHAPTER 1: PERFECT CREATURE
Winnie stared dreamily at the stars, wondering what it would be like to escape her stuffy parents and the prison she called home. She turned and looked at her pink, pooffy dress hanging on the wall for tomorrow. She hated the fashions of the 1800s. She wished she could wear pants, and do things like read and study like her father, instead of mastering the art of pouring tea like her mother. Life in the Foster house was overbearing for Winnie. She felt trapped. What she wanted more than anything was to fly away to some distant galaxy and dance on the milky way. She wanted to fall in love with some perfect creature from some unknown planet, and spend all day doing whatever her heart desired.
Perfect creature... The perfect guy ... it was a dream she kept close to her heart. He was her best friend, and oh the adventures they would have. These thoughts constantly danced through her mind. Dashing through the country side together on a horse, meeting together in their favorite spot for a secret picnic, by the river where the willow tree shaded the lilacs, watching the stars like she was now, only while they were in each other's arms. These were her hopes and dreams that no one new about. The only thing that got her through her days.
She finally had to give into her falling eyes. She crawled into bed, pulled up her chenille blanket, and fell into the deepest pits off her best dreams. She woke up with the dawn, as she always did so she could watch the sun come up. It was beautiful. It was the joy and the pain of her day. The joy because of the peace of the dawn, and the pain because it meant another day of lessons and potential suitors. The suitors were all let downs. Her mothers offers of "future husbands" were all neither the romantic or adventurous type she desired. They were all too uptight and chivalrous, like her mother. Today's potential was Tuck. Miles Tuck. He was very handsome and his father was the ambassador of France. They were very rich, and very high class, as her mother so blatantly pointed out, 3 times in the last hour. Because Miles impressed her family so much, many more dates were set up for the two. They were both respectable families, and the Tuck family wanted to see their son just as well off as the Foster's wanted to see their daughter, and to them, it seemed like a perfect fit. Two high class families with two beautiful children. Their parents had stars in their eyes, and soon, so would Miles, who's mind was almost controlled by his parents.
Winnie had never seen her mother so happy when Miles was around. Sure, Winnie liked Miles. He adored her, and she new he would treat her right, and she really liked to see her mother so happy. But there was still something missing. That unspoken adventure. She badly wanted to end the courtship with Miles, but her mother had flat out told her if she screwed this up, she would send her to an all girls catholic school. And Winnie new, not only was that not for her, but once her foot was set in that door, her adventure would be over before it even began.
