Chapter One: Fairy Tinkerbell

In the faraway lands of the Neverland, a child's first laugh could be heard. The laugh was cheerful, clear, and a signal of a fairy's birth. That was how Tinkerbell the fairy came to be. Upon the first laugh from the baby, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell was born.

On top of a tree in the evergreen forest, a dim light was starting to flicker to life. It became brighter and brighter until a pair of delicate wings sprouted from the light; and soon, a girl's body, a head topped with blond locks, and finally, opened eyes that were mischievous of the color, emerald green.

Fairies did not have parents that would give them suitable names, but their clothing that they would continue to wear for a lifetime did. For example, when Tinkerbell was born, she was born wearing a tiny dress with "Tinkerbell" printed on the tag inside it. The name made her "tink" like a bell and therefore, the fairy was born with a name that suited her very well.

There was no doubt that Tinkerbell was born to be mischievous and fond of adventures, because right after she was born, she took advantage of her fairy wings and roamed around the Neverland, creating all sorts of problems. Meanwhile, Peter Pan the baby grew up under Mr. and Mrs. Pan's care, without a thought of how and why.

Author's Note: This is a prequel to Peter Pan, and I was supposed to write it for school. I just handed it in today and I'm eager to see what people would think of it. This is not very long, only eight chapters, but since I screwed up the climax part I'll probably have to fix it before I publish more. Today I'll publish two chapters because the first one is very short. I hope you like this story; criticism is required because I'm still a developing writer. If you have anything that you would like me to include in the plot, you can give me suggestions in a message, not the review board, but don't expect me to change it for you or just add it in because this is my story after all. Thank you for reading!
