Disclaimer: I do not now nor have I ever owned Peter Pan or anything associated with it. The plot of this is mine...that is all.

"Well Peter? What do you say?" Thomias asked sitting up on his knees? Do you really want to become this? Go through all the pain I've gone through? Lose your beloved Neverland? Go through Hell just for love?"

Peter continued looking at the two people in front of him in indecision. No, he did not want to get old and go through everything that the man in front of him had, but he couldn't kill Jane. He loved her! He loved everything about her, the way her nose twitched when she slept, the way she gracefully held a sword, her stubborn manner, even the way she made him take his medicine. He especially loved the butterfly feeling he got in his stomach when she smiled at him. She had a beautiful smile.

"No," Peter said.

"No? No you don't want to go through all of this? Good! Now take your sword and kill her! Kill her now Peter then you can go on living a happy life fighting Pirates and being a boy!"

"No, I mean no, I will not kill her! I've been a boy for quite a long time now, but growing up is something everyone must do eventually," Peter smiled at Jane. "I've been lucky to put it off this long. Now I'm not so sure growing up would be all that bad," he said gazing at Jane.

"Foolish boy!" Thomias cried out. "How could I have been so naive? Listen to me boy right now it may seem worth it, but it isn't. I am you! Can you not understand that? I somehow by the grace of God was able to come back here to warn you, t-to stop this from ever happening. She will die boy! Not only will she die but your unborn child will die right along with her, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it. She is destined to die early don't you see that? It's the only way boy, the only way." Peter backed away from Thomias shaking his head. He stood in front of Jane protectively.

"No," he said. "No it is not the only way. It is the coward's way. You say you are me? That I disbelieve. Even if I leave Neverland and get old, there is no way I will turn into you! You are an even bigger coward than Hook is. You blame Jane for your pain and think that killing an innocent girl will make everything better. If you are me then you have forgotten the main ingredient to fly."

"Pixie dust?" Thomias asked in confusion.

"No not Pixie dust! Happy thoughts! In order to fly you need happy thoughts. Ever since you took Jane from me I've had difficulties flying. Do you know why that is? It is because I thought that something horrible had befallen Jane. I thought that maybe she was gone from me forever. Jane is my happy thought. Without her I cannot fly." Thomias sat staring at Peter in outrage.

"What about mermaids, and fighting pirates, and flying through the sky without a care in the world? Aren't those thoughts happy enough for you?" he asked.

"They used to be, but...I've grown up since then. That's what's been troubling me lately. I've felt out of place, like Neverland was no longer my home. It's because I've grown...I'm no longer the boy that I once was. No, it's time for me to move on," Peter said grabbing Jane's hand with his. "I'm finally ready...to grow up." Thomias jumped up in outrage.

"NO!" he shouted. "No I cannot allow this! If you will not kill her than I shall! It is for our own good!" Thomias grabbed the sword that was lying next to him and rushed at Jane. Peter instinctively threw himself in front of Jane drawing his own sword.

"Get away from her!" a familiar voice called from behind Thomias. Thomias froze where he was then slowly lowered the sword as he turned around.

"You!" Thomias said in fear. "I know you, but how...no it's not possible!"

"But it is Peter, it is. I came here much the same way that you did, but for very different reasons. You have no right coming here and trying to change the course of the future. That boy and girl there are the two in charge of it. It will be there decisions that cause future things to happen."

"It is inevitable though! Jane will die and we will be left in bitter torment! This is the only way!" Thomias cried.

"No it is not," the voice said. "There is a possibility for a great many things to happen. You and I are only two ghosts of what could potentially be." Jane curious as to who the voice belonged to peered over Peter's shoulder. What she saw made her gasp. Standing in front of them was yet another old Peter, but this one looked happier, and had a few less lines on his face. Jane stepped out from behind Peter.

"You're Peter as well?" she asked in awe. The man smiled at her.

"Yes Jane dear. I am Peter as well. A Peter who is very happy and couldn't possibly love his beloved wife Jane any more," he said. Then the new old Peter (A/N: awkward) turned to Thomias. "It is time for you to disappear old chap!"

"No I will not lose! Not when I am so close!" Thomias raised his sword again and rushed forward blindly. Then with satisfaction he felt it run into something and a cry of pain issued forth. Thomias looked to see what he had done and gasped in anguish.

Instead of hitting Jane, his intended target, he had hit himself...or his former younger self.

"Peter!" Jane cried rushing over to him. Peter slowly slumped to the ground as blood seeped through the wound in his side where the sword had pierced him. He reached out and grabbed Jane's arm and looked at her with eyes filled with pain.

"Jane, you know I love you, but do you love me back?" he asked in a voice barely above a whisper.

"Yes Peter! I thought that I couldn't possibly love you, but I do! I tried to deny because I didn't think you would ever want to leave Neverland, and I knew I couldn't stay here forever. Yes Peter yes, I do love you!" Jane cried pulling Peter to her chest.

"Good," he said. "That's good to know." Then Peter's head fell back as his body went limp in Jane's arms. Tears rolled down Jane's cheeks as she shouted at him not to die, and two grown men stood watching them feeling themselves start to fade.

A/N: okay, that was kinda awkward and confusing...I'm sorry if you get too confused I'll try to go back and make it better. Basically to sum it up Thomias was Peter from the future, the new man was a different Peter from the future. Don't worry all shall be explained in the next chapter. Which I shall try to get out shortly. Sorry for the slight cliff hanger, but it seemed like a good place to stop. Next chapter in all likely hood will be the last chapter. Not many people read this anyway, so that's kinda sad...oh well.

Anyway this fic really kinda got out of my control. Like I had a basic plot line and knew what I wanted to do with it, but while I was writing it it changed on me. Weird. Well thanks for reading! Now please oh please oh please review!
