A long time ago, 1908 of the Edwardian years, there was elegant London, England. Nothing could be more than the Darling family lived in the manor where the children had enjoyed on Peter Pan stories about the Neverland, although it was about the nineteen-aged Darling, young woman named Wendy. Wendy Darling. she told her brothers a story about Peter Pan, and they met him at one night as he brought them to Neverland. They had wonderful times in there as Lost Boys, Indians, Mermaids, Fairies, the pirates, and...Captain Hook, the notorious archenemy. Would the Darling children like to stay at Neverland forever? Sadly, no...Wendy had a choice was to leave with her brothers because she was realizing on the wonderful times growing into adventurous moments as she was overprotective of her brothers and Lost Boys at all the time, while Peter Pan never cared of anyone else, and one thing was to learn what was love, so he did understand about what was it like, he accepted about the Darling children had to go home after the adventurous moments. Wendy promised on Peter if she made a faith in him, she needed to believe in him to be believed eternally because someday she would have dreams about him to be believed.
The night lived in the lovely moments, in the ballroom, Wendy enjoyed herself in the masquerade, watching alone at the noble gentlemen and ladies dancing, chatting of the aristocracy, having romances together, and, of course, her dear family. She wore a celeste, Victorian dress with pearl jewelries, and her sandy-blond hairstyle was wavy and feminine eyes were gray-bluish. She looked much sophisticated as the ladies were as the night.
The music was played by the favorite musicians, the invited nobles were dancing in grace while they wore the fantasy masks on her face without seen their real faces, the dreams seemed existing to them as they never felt so delightful before. Laughter, beauty, grace, and...there was an unique thing, the midnight felt powerful than the night never slept.
How about Wendy's family? Yes, they were in the ballroom of the midnight and the night. George was greeting boldly to invited nobles entering in the masquerade, he just wanted to make them feeling welcomed with the elegance. Mary was joyful to see her lady friends after the many years while they worked on their motherhoods. John grew up into a gentleman at his early teenage age, he wanted to get in there because he needed to watch over to Michael as they were at some scene with the noble teenagers before they'd go home for bedtime before the midnight.
Privately, Wendy was thinking of Peter Pan since she was a young lady, she still kept believing in him if it built him growing stronger and stronger in Neverland, and the fairies, too. Forgetting about the ballroom, she viewed at two stars in the night through a crystal window, wondering in the her importance to see him visiting over her at her bedroom someday.
"Wendy..."
She heard that a grim, familiar voice. She turned back to perceive the taller, seductive man having a raven, long hair, and forget-me-not blue eyes with inky, thin mustache through he was wearing a scarlet overcoat, white blouse, and black breeches with dark boots, and...She couldn't help it, but just caught his sliver hook on his right hand with her innocent eyes.
Suddenly, the ballroom was transforming slowly into the gloom, everyone became the skeleton strangers dancing with the ripped, Victorian and Edwardian clothings, the white lights turned into reddish lights, it was the nightmare. Such the nightmare! He smirked at Wendy as he grabbed her with his right arm, he won't let her escape from him. He rubbed her cheek with his silver hook as the nightmare was seducing with her. Alluring her, tempting her, enchanting her, and many powers to beguile her with his passion.
"You can't be", Wendy whispered to him as she tried to face him, "You're not true to be here, Captain Hook!"
"I am", he said lustfully, "Very true...Wendy Darling."
Waking up from the nightmare, Wendy gasped as she listened to her heart beating rapidly, she didn't make sense of that why him showing up in her beautiful dream. She tried to dream about Peter Pan and Neverland every night since she was a young lady to see him at last time before he flied. Looking up to three o'clock in the morning, she refused to sleep again if Captain Hook won't show up in her dream. Insomnia, wasn't it?
Staring at two stars in the nightfall sky through her crystal window as she had been waiting for Peter Pan and Tinker Bell after the years, she already dreamt about them in Neverland, she still believed in them. She had prayers for them, too. She got up from her bed, coming toward to her window, and opened it to let them coming over her.
"Peter", she said softly as she watched at two stars, "Where are you? I've been waiting for you. We haven't seen each other at last time, I know how your feeling is. I need you. Please have a moment with me."
It was silence.
"I always think of you every night because you're my lovely friend in my whole life and Neverland. All about my stories, Neverland, adventures, and...Love story. I believe in fairies. I do, I do. With my faith, I'm praying for you now. I believe in fairies. I do, I do." Wendy held her hands together as a prayer.
During the nightfall of the morning, the boy never grew up, he was a simply magical boy with his assistant fairy, Tinker Bell. They flied all through the nightfall sky from the stars of Neverland. They were arriving to London as they had views of Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and St Paul's Cathedral, and then, they finally arrived over a similar manor since they heard that someone's prayers, they came for someone that was...Wendy Darling.
"Hello, Peter. Hello, Tinker Bell", Wendy said sweetly as she was overjoyed to see them at her window.
"Wendy?" Peter Pan was depressed in her because of she grew up.
She nodded as she smiled at Tinker Bell showing up from his back shoulder.
"It's wonderful to see you again", Wendy said to him, "It's been so long, I was just thinking of you until now."
"You're full grown-up", he said as he crossed his arms.
"I never change myself. It's all about you." She hid her guilty feeling from him.
Peter Pan turned back to see two stars through the nightfall sky.
"Do you want to fly away with me", he asked to Wendy, "To Neverland?"
Wendy smiled weakly at his solemn question because it was no way to have a choice for Neverland from her life. She wished she could fly over there with them as she was impossible without any choice.
"I'd really love to fly away with you. Neverland makes my dreams coming true", she said, "But I'll be leaving from here, it's about my university, I'm a storyteller if I'd become a novelist. Sadly, I couldn't."
Peter Pan looked back to her with his upset face.
"What about us?" His depressed eyes turned into unfaithful eyes on her.
Fluttering with the wings, Tinker Bell was listening with a pain inside of her, brighting in the light while body was glowing.
"If you want to see me, then you can visit over to my dream about Neverland. I'll keep a faith in you through my university because my dream does has adventures and love stories. They won't make you being bored." Wendy tried to cheer him up.
"Stop it, lady!" His disloyalty grew as he hated about what she said.
Wendy held tears back of her eyes while Tinker Bell was in shocked.
"I never want to see you or visit over your dream", he said gravely, "You know what? You're embarrassing me against everything I've shown you after all. How disgraceful you are, I won't see you anymore since you weren't full grown up that enjoying our moments with your brothers."
Tinker Bell couldn't stand on his words hurting Wendy's feeling, however, she wished she could stay with Wendy on their friendship after quitting on her jealousy of Wendy.
"Every grown-up never believe in the fantasy world, Neverland is my life with the magic lives in my faith, they don't care about them. They're such so unpleasant I've seen ever!" Peter Pan decided to quit from Wendy.
"Please don't say like that, I try to be faithful of you", she said sensitively as tears were rolling on her cheeks from her sad eyes, "Because you're my dearest friend."
"Let's go, Tinker Bell." He was trying to leave from her window.
Tinker Bell flied toward Wendy as she kissed Wendy's nose for the farewell moment, and flied back to Peter Pan.
"Wendy..." Peter Pan stopped leaving as he turned back to see Wendy, "Who would like to believe in your faith?"
She tried to say something, but it was too late.
"Goodbye, at the last time." He was flying away with Tinker bell as they entered to the nightfall sky from her as they won't see her again. Not anymore.
"Goodbye, Peter..." She was watching them flying straight to the two stars during the midnight hours as she wiped tears with her hand.
Feeling her heart, she became heartache of the their farewell moment breaking their dearest friendship. She won't forget about them, she needed to get faith through her dream of Neverland with Peter Pan and Tinker Bell. She got in her bed as she was sobbing quietly on her pillow with a lot of sorrowful tears. She had no doubt what they would be in her dream only.
The sun was raising, Wendy tried to get up of bed. Feeling as a sleepyhead, her eyes opened gently. She pushed herself up with a dizziness inside of her head. She didn't claim to has an insomnia since she had a nightmare about Captain Hook, and seen Peter Pan and Tinker Bell at last time. She came toward her oval mirror, saw her face was pale as a pearl, and very feminine at her age. There were storm colors on her eyes. Wearing a silky nightgown, she hid her true body that was beautifully curvy. She stared at herself at oval mirror. Oh, her sandy-blond hair was hanged for bedtime. She let it flowing with her hands.
When she was a full grown-up woman, then she never changed her personality at all. She kept her faith for Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, and Neverland. She took care of dreams and secrets from the Earth. She dearly loved Peter Pan as her best friend.
Brushing her hair, it was going into a wavy hairstyle. She was changing her silky nightgown to a turquoise dress with moonstone jewelries. She had to go downstair to see her day. And she would get ready for her university, University of Oxford, tomorrow. It was her last day. In her bedroom, she was checking on anything was important that she needed in her six bags. It was about more than her university. Also, there was the special journal must be kept with her. She was an unique storyteller. It was all about Neverland, adventures, and love stories.
And then, Wendy was going downstair to see her dear family, wondering if what her parents would speak to her about University of Oxford plans, and having a ride in the coach going to her university, and there would be many things to do. What if her dear family would be lonely without her?
She entered in the living room where the Darling family parents were waiting for her, she saw George Darling seeming gladly proud, and Mary Darling looking sensitive as her eyes were worried. Calming herself down, she came toward them and sat down on a velvet chair to listen to them. She tried to hide a true feeling from her heart.
"Wendy", George said to her, "Tomorrow is your special day as an university student. We've had down on everything for you since you were growing up. How faithful you've graduated with your diploma without thinking of Peter Pan, Neverland, and anything else. With your noble education, it was all about you've worked so hard in the private schools until you became one of the honored top students. Before your senior year, the universities heard true stories about your education grew wealthily, so they sent applications to you if you wanted to transfer. As a novelist and you loved literatures, you had a best choice to choose University of Oxford. We're very proud of you as our daughter is an adult now."
He grinned proudly at her.
Wendy felt something fluttering inside of her stomach when she listened to him.
"Wendy, my dear", Mary said cautiously, "We want to know if you might need our help with your university. You shall have something belonged to your heart to do before something will happen. Your heart only needs you while you live in there. If so, the strength is what you have to listen your heart, it claims to want you think of your family. Keep your faith for us and the university."
Mary loved Wendy so much as well as she held John and Michael very deep. She was so hard to let Wendy go from her family.
Wendy handled herself from being emotional with her family. Her heart felt deeper for them.
"Your moments", Wendy said to George and Mary, "Give me the confidence to keep my faith during the university at my age. While I'd be in there, I must write letters to you on some days in clover, for example, I'd like to my experiences beside to my majors on the letters as I'd send them to you here from my university. I shall have faith in you and our family."
George grinned at her as he was proud of her finally growing up from her dreams of Neverland and Peter Pan.
Mary couldn't bear, but was caring about her. She meant that she loved her daughter.
In the meanwhile, John and Michael were listening carefully to them talking about Wendy's Oxford university since they were sitting on the downstairs to avoid being noticed by their family. John hoped she would be one of the honored university students after the semesters. Michael felt like he would be lonely without her because he loved to listen her story about Peter Pan and Neverland at his bedtime, since he let her growing up from that story.
"Actually, Wendy has asserted herself to grow up and work hard", John whispered to Michael, "Don't worry, she'll think of us soon.
Michael nodded in agreement.
"Well, when she leaves, I promise her for you because I'll tell a story you at your bedtime every night." John struggled with Michael.
"How about Peter Pan? And Neverland, too?" Michael became hopeful.
"Alright, that'll do." John sighed softly as he didn't believe in them anymore after the years.
Secretly, Michael never forget of Peter Pan and Neverland as eternal as he thought of them from being a child to a preteen.
At the living room, George has an idea showing up about something was very important for Wendy, it meant about something to encourage her at Oxford university.
"Pardon me. I have something to show you, Wendy. I'll be here soon." George got up from the settee as he left.
Suddenly, Mary grabbed Wendy's hand gently as she needed to say with Wendy.
"I have something to say, my Wendy", Mary said with her dry voice, "I know it's so hard."
Wendy listened thoughtfully.
"When I was your age, I went to some university after graduated on my old private school. My majors were different from yours because I had to study on the nobility as politics, society, and everything was about the upper class. I passed them and went to the nobility parties. Times were such so lovely."
Wendy already knew much about the nobility, so she didn't think of them.
"I finally found my dream coming true", Mary smiled at Wendy, "I met your father in the nobility party on other night, we chatted about getting know of each other. When I had luxury from my university, your father and I had a marriage discussion of the noble society, then we agreed."
It was a rush marriage, Wendy guessed.
"After graduated on our university, we had became into the married couple as we turned into the chains of the United Kingdom's noble relations. As a banker, he was employed in the bank of London, while I had to be a housewife with my noble abilities as I managed at our manor and had blue-blooded visitors coming in the deluxe room."
When Wendy had met the blue-blooded visitors, they were mostly supercilious, and she liked some of them that were modest since they had good educations on the nobility.
As George showed up in there, he brought the book of Oxford university information about the good supports. He gave it to Wendy.
"Oh, I already have gotten another information", Wendy told her father.
"Yes, you do. This is the good advise", George apprised her, "If you may have hard times, then you shall go to see the specialist in the office. There are the major centers, they'll tutor you on your majors."
"Why, thank you." Wendy didn't want to disrespect his opinion.
Since they were in the conversation, Wendy promised her family with her faith as well as she refused to forget about Peter Pan and Neverland, she'd like to become a famous novelist as she might write her future novel about them to make children believing in them. It was her fate. Not nobility. Just promise her family and friends about everything.
