"Where is it?" he mumbled while tossing papers aside into the darkness of the room.
Suddenly, a twinkling ball of glitter speedily entered through the window accompanied by a jingling noise. The annoyed fairy planted herself in Peter's hair firmly and took hold of a curl, yanking with all her might.
"Ow Tink!" Peter whined as he swatted her away.
She was sent soaring toward the sleeping lump that was Delaney and landed square on the girl's head with a faint "humph!" escaping from the glittering creature. Delaney started to squirm and rolled over causing Tinker Bell to fall on the floor. She groggily removed the blanket from her head and rubbed her eyes while scanning the room.
"Pandora?" she called for her cat, assuming she was the reason she awoke, "Here kitty ki.. Oh! Who are you?!" She noticed the figure hunched over her desk and was immediately alarmed.
Peter stiffened and fast as lightening landed on the girl, pinning her legs between his own and covering her mouth with his hand, an alarmed expression on his young face.
"Quiet! I've seen the grown-ups here and would rather not be acquainted with them. Especially right now since I've yet to find what I'm looking for and now my fairy is missing. This is not good at all..." he trailed off, his eyes wandering about the room.
Delaney calmed and took in the boy that firmly straddled her. His hand, covering her face, was dirty and smelled of soil. Where did this beautiful stranger come from? Then she noticed the window. The boy slowly started to release her and he hovered above the bed.
"You're the one who creates the stories, right? Can you tell me where you've hidden them?", he sat cross-legged now, mid-air.
"Where did you come from..." Delaney wondered out loud.
"Neverland... Of course you've heard of it?" Peter answered. Of course she had not heard of Neverland before and she promptly began asking many more questions. Peter answered them all happily and floated around the room illustrating as he told of his land.
"Peter.. that sounds amazing..." she mused while fingering the dream catcher that hung from the lamp beside her. Pandora leaped onto her lap and curled into a ball, purring happily, "Can... Can you take me there? I don't want to be older. I want to never grow up! Please Peter? I'd make a perfect Lost Girl!"
Peter thought this over and gave her a gentle side smile. He floated about the room and picked up an Indian chief's headdress and places it amongst her waves. "Never is an awfully long time...", he scooped Tink from the floor and shook some dust into his palm, then while slowly floating as close as possible to Delaney's face, he opened his clenched hand and blew a shower of sparkling gold over her. She crinkled her nose and hovered off the bed. Pandora sneezed and, much like a newborn deer, began pawing and kicking aimlessly while floating upward as well. Delaney held tight to the terrified feline and followed the boy out the window and into the night sky.
