Hello Again:

Chapter 03: Wonderstruck


-x-


Summary:

Peter falls and Wendy isn't there to catch him. He forgets all and so does she. But will one more 'hello' make the other remember? 2003movieverse. PxW

Theme:

Set 3 years after the 2003movie; Peter (16) && Wendy (15)

Inspiration:

I've read this Peter&Wendy fic in which I was so addicted with. The plot was amazing but, it was incomplete so I was very disappointed so, I decided to do my take on a similar plot. This is not a copy, just inspired by it is all :) && also, I listened to the song 'Enchanted' by Taylor Swift which I used to be some sort of a theme for this fic so, I guess I was also inspired by the song to write :)

A/N:

I wanted to give them a happy ending so, that's why I wrote this. I think they deserve more than just what Barrie gave them. Don't get me wrong, he is incredible for everything he's written but, I'm just not satisfied, y'know?

Disclaimer:

J.M. Barrie is a genius who has started this whole legend. He should be praised for it 'coz he owns it, not me.


Dedicated to J.M. Barrie for being the legend that he is :)


"Mother, this is Miss Wendy Moira Angela Darling." Andrew said as he presented a nervous-looking Wendy to his mother, Marianne.

"Oh, delighted." Marianne said, smiling warmly at Wendy.

"The pleasure should be mine, Miss..." Wendy thought for a second and frowned, remembering Drew still hasn't told her his last name.

"Knight." He whispers into her ear as she continued to curtsy.

"Miss Knight." She finished as Marianne smiled in approval at her son who just smirked smugly at her.

"Oh, how polite you are, Wendy." Marianne said as Wendy suddenly looked up, surprised at the casual way Marianne had just called her.

No one ever called her justWendy anymore, except her own family. It was either Miss Wendy, Miss Darling or, as Drew calls her, Wendy-lady. It was new and different yet, for some odd reason, she liked it.

"My husband mustmeet you!" Marianne exclaimed as she grabbed Wendy's wrist and dragged her away to Joseph, who, was chatting with none other than George and Mary Darling. "Joseph! You must meet this young lady!"

Andrew rolled his eyes at his mother's enthusiasm and followed her and Wendy lazily. His eyes stared at the girl his mom had a tight grip on and he couldn't help but grin at her innocence. He wondered, why weren't there anymore girls like her? It would've made life in such a classy façade a little bit more bearable. But then again, Wendy was Wendy and that quality made her unique, different and special. He supposed he'd rather have it on her than anyone else anyway.

Joseph looked up from his conversation with George about banking matters, only to see his wife dragging a poor helpless and clueless girl up to them.

"Marianne..." He sighed as she finally arrived at their little circle.

"My, Joseph! You must meet this young lady!" She beamed at him as George and Mary looked down to see Wendy, shyly, looking down.

"Wendy?" George said as Wendy looked up to meet her father's eyes that always seemed to remind her of a certain captain.

"Father?" She asked as Andrew finally reached them, yawning.

"Oh, is this your daughter?" Marianne suddenly asked, shocked.

"Oh, yes Miss Knight." George said as he looked back up to meet the Knights. "I apologize for the inconvenience our daughter may have caused you."

"Oh! Heavens no!" Marianne exclaimed, vigorously shaking her head. "She was rather lovely and my God! She captured our dear Andrew's interest!"

"Is that so?" Mary asked, smiling lightly at her daughter.

"Oh yes! Andrew here has never taken any interest in any girl before! That's why it's so hard to find him a bride." She explained to them as Joseph chuckled behind her.

"Mother..." Andrew groaned as he rolled his eyes.

"Oh, hush up." She snapped at him as he just rolled his eyes again.

"Oh, well, I am very happy to hear that." Mary said, glancing at Andrew, with wide eyes.

It couldn't be!

Mary's eyes darted back to Wendy who still looked down on the ground, really embarrassed by the situation at hand.

Yes, it is.

Mary closed her eyes as she smiled at Andrew.

"Andrew dear, what would be your full name?" She asked him, still smiling.

"An-" he was suddenly cut-off by his own mother.

"Andrew Alexander Knight!" She said proudly.

"Honey, I think Andrew would've liked to answer that himself." Joseph said as he shook his head in desperation. "I apologize Mr. and Mrs. Darling."

"Oh, 'tis no bother." Mary smiled in assurance. "Now, how about Andrew and Wendy go and get to know each other as me and Miss Knight have a little 'tête-à-tête'?"

"What about Father and Mr. Knight, Mother?" Wendy suddenly asked.

"Oh, don't worry. We were having a rather interesting conversation about money." Joseph assured her as Andrew rolled his eyes.

"Interesting. Yeah right!" He muttered under his breath, only loud enough for Wendy to hear.

"Well, you two must be going now!" Mary insisted as she shooed Wendy and Andrew away before dragging Marianne Knight away with her.


It took Slightly and Nibs awhile before they actually, literally, bumped into each other.

"You!" They both shouted at each other as they tried to get up.

"Slightly!" Nibs shouted as he got up first. He held his hand out for Slightly to take.

"Nibs!" Slightly exclaimed as he took the extended hand. "I've been looking for you!"

"Really? That's a first." Nibs said, smirking smugly. Slightly rolled his eyes at his 'brother'. "You ready to give up?"

"Not that you idiot!" He exclaimed, slapping Nibs on his shoulder. "I need to ask you something!"

"What is it?" Nibs asked curiously.

"Have you seen that guy Wendy danced with?" Slightly asked desperately as Nibs' eyes grew wide.

"You're not thinking the same thing I'm thinking of, are you?" Nibs asked curiously.

"That the guy resembles a 16 year old Peter?" Slightly exclaimed.

"So you are thinking the same thing I'm thinking!" Nibs said.

"Of course!" Slightly said, shaking his head. "This just means one thing."

"And what is that?" Nibs asked, leaning his head in curiosity.

"We must find out if he really is Peter!" Slightly suggested, nodding his head in pride with the genius plan he has created.

"Well, na'duh!" Nibs said, rolling his eyes.

"But how?" Slightly said to himself, ignoring the sarcastic tone that Nibs spoke in.

"I propose we interrogate him!" Nibs suggested. "As Wendy's over-protective brothers, of course!"

"That's a great idea!" Slightly said, nodding his head in approval. "Now that, my friend, is why I like you."

"Well then, let's go!" Nibs said, running off to wherever he thought Peter and Wendy were.

"Not so fast!" Slightly shouted as he grabbed Nibs by the back of his collar.

"What?" Nibs snapped as he turned to look at Slightly in annoyance.

"We need to plan this carefully. Meaning just you, me and Peter." Slightly explained.

"How're we gonna do that?" Asked Nibs in confusion.

"Come here." Slightly said, gesturing his hands for Nibs to move towards him. He then leaned in and started to whisper to Nibs' ear. "This is what we're gonna do..."

It took Slightly ten minutes to explain the plan as Nibs nodded in agreement at the plan. Nibs' eyes twinkled in mischief as Slightly finally finished explaining.

"Do you know what to do now?" Slightly asked as Nibs nodded, still the same mischief lingered along his grayish blue eyes. "Perfect."

"And I thought we'd never get to see another great adventure 'til we die." Nibs said, grinning as Slightly nodded along with him.

"Yes." Slightly said, smirking. "This for sure shall be perfectly thrilling."


"Your mother is rather rash." Wendy commented as her and Andrew went out to the spacious balcony.

"Yeah, well, you'll get used to it." Andrew said, grinning a familiar grin at her as he leaned his back at the balcony's cement railing.

"She's very nice though." Wendy says as she looked directly into this stranger's blue eyes, her hair swept by the wind.

"She is." His grin grew wide. "She's the best."

"You must love her very much." Wendy smiled as she took as step forward.

"I do." He replies, closing his eyes, letting the soft breeze play with his curly hair.

They stayed silent for awhile. Wendy found the boy's attitude a bit fascinating and she couldn't help but be drawn to him. She stared at him and everything seemed so familiar yet so unknown. Wherever she's seen him before, her memory seemed to keep it from her in secrecy. And that, annoyed her.

"Have we met before?" Wendy finally decided to ask him as he opened his eyes to look up at her.

"I don't think so." He says, shrugging his shoulders casually.

He was partly lying since he didn't know if they have ever met before for you see, he didn't like talking to strangers about his lost memories. Specially strangers he just met. And who's to say they'll see each other again anyway? He didn't want to tell her if the chances are, they won't meet again.

"Ohhh." She says, disappointed. "But you seem vaguely familiar.

"Perhaps we have." He decided to play. "Maybe in a pass lifetime, or maybe in our dreams."

"I'm pretty sure t'is the only life I've lived. And I doubt I've ever dreamed of you sire." She grins at him, catching on the game.

"Maybe we met some time before, in an adventure one can't forget." He grins playfully at her.

"Ohhh, if one can't forget such an adventure, I'm sure we'll both remember." She tells.

"Maybe..." He spoke slowly.

"Maybe what?" She asks him as she looked at those blue haunting eyes that seemed to entrance her.

"Nothing." He says, turning away from her gaze, hesitating to continue.

She was a stranger, therefore, he shall not talk about his dark pass with her. At least, not for now.

The bells of the hall started to chime, indicating the ball has ended. They both looked up at the ringing bell before looking at each other. He offers her his hand as she confusedly took it. He gently held it before bowing, while she curtsied at him. After standing up straight, he looked into her eyes and smiled, a devilishly handsome smile, and said:

"We shall meet again, Wendy-lady."

And with that, he let got of her hand, making her miss the warmth it gave off, and then left. She stood there, dumbfounded and wonderstruck.

Tonight was indeed an enchanting evening.
