Sorry I haven't updated in so long everyone! I just: 1) graduated high school
2) moved internationally
3) started uni
Sadly, this chapter wasn't as eventful as I had hoped it would be, and I was going to make it longer. But since that looks like it may take a while, here's what I have so far. I promise the next chapter will be much better, but until then, enjoy!
Neverland was beautiful, as always. Funny, from this height, Jane wondered why she hadn't noticed how big the island was before. Did it get bigger, or had just not fully remembered it properly?
Either way, it didn't matter. She and Danny were there now, and determined to have a good time while they could.
Peter flew ahead of them, somersaulting threw they air and crowing to announce his victory. Jane wanted to do the same, but she had clutched onto Danny's hand during the entire trip, and wasn't quite comfortable enough with letting him go. Not yet at least.
Turning to face the two siblings, Peter wore a grin so big, Jane briefly wondered how his face couldn't hurt.
"You've gotta see the Lost Boys first thing! They don't even know you're here so we can really surprise them!"
Jane giggled at the boy's enthusiasm, and Danny looked overjoyed at the idea.
"Oh boy Jane! First I get to meet Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle and go to Neverland, and now I get to meet the Lost Boys? Thank you so much!"
"Don't thank me Danny. Thank mum when we see her again."
Flew a little closer to the two and tried to pretend to look upset. "Hey! What about me? Don't I get a 'thank you'?"
Jane grinned even wider.
"Of course you do Peter. After all, you didn't have to do this."
Now Peter really was upset.
"Don't say that Jane! And don't you listen to her either Danny!" he told the pair. The outburst kind of surprised them. Turning back to Jane, his face softened.
"I actually did miss you Jane, we all did. You were fun to have around. Well, in the end anyway." He smirked as he said the last part. Jane simply rolled her eyes at the jab.
"Oh haha Peter, very funny! Now, I want to see if I can remember the way to the hideout."
As it turned out, she hadn't. In fact, she managed to get her and Danny quite lost.
"I'm not lost! I know Neverland like the back of my hand!" Peter boasted. Jane shook her head at him.
"The fact you know anything is astounding, Peter," she smiled.
Peter pouted and pretended to look offended. Jane laughed at him again, though poor Danny didn't seem to understand the two's old routine. Suddenly, Jane stopped laughing.
'Something doesn't feel right,' she thought. Something had changed, from when they left England to now, but what? Then it struck her.
"Peter, have you seen Tinkerbelle?" Worry for her friend was written across her face. Peter felt a twang of guilt for worrying his dear friend, but felt a tad smug at knowing the fairy was setting things up for Jane and Danny's big surprise. She'd flown off ahead of them, and Peter couldn't wait to show them.
Placing a reassuring hand on the girl's shoulder, he sent a reassuring smile at the two.
"Don't worry Jane, Tink just had to go do something. She'll be back in a tick, I betcha'!"
Jane sighed in relief before throwing a suspicious glance at the taller boy.
"And this 'something' wouldn't happened to have anything to do with the surprise you mentioned earlier, would it?"
Peter drew back hand to scratch the back of his head nervously.
"Aheh…uh… no! Of course not! C'mon, I'm tired of being lost." He muttered. Jane raised an eyebrow at him. The smirk didn't move from face.
"Oh? I thought you knew this island like the back of your hand."
Poor Peter's face light up like a traffic light. He tried hunching his shoulders to hide it from the smug girl, but to no avail.
"Just… follow me," he mumbled. Jane and Danny shared a smile at the disgruntled boy's embarrassment. Jane even found herself giggling again, which, sadly for Peter, only caused his blush to worsen.
Peter just hoped his blush would die down before the Lost Boys caught up with them. Otherwise, he wouldn't hear the end of it.
