Chapter 10 here we go! I hope this will happen more often and i'm really looking forward for your reviews of this chapter, going to be an emotional one.

Peter switched from the tears to his friend."No", he exclaimed like merely stating the impossible would change what had happened. Peter shook his head violently backing away from the passage. He sunk to the floor and plced his head in his hands. This was not what he wanted to hear. For two years Peter had done his best to keep any though of her from entering his mind. As the days passed things got easier for him and he slipped into a numb existence, just going through the motions of everyday life without a thought. Now that was all over. The world he had fought so hard to avoid penetrated his mind now. Wendy's pain crashed onto him like waves upon the sand. He could feel that a tragedy had just struck her and he weeped for her sorrow. Peter didn't want to care but he couldn't help himself from loving her. He wanted to wrap her in his arms and never let go. He looked up and saw Tinkerbell standing on top of his knees.

"Peter, Peter she needs you."

"No, no she doesn't. She's married. She has a husband who she's in love with. Why would she need me? She doesn't want me she shut me out those two years ago."

Peter stood up angrily and ranted about how she didn't want him. Tinkerbell only sighed. How could he be so foolish. Wendy and him were meant for eachother. No matter how hard they tried to cut the bond that ties them it has always been sealed. It was unbreakable which was why Peter had begun crying as soon as he saw her tears. Peter finished his rant and turned his blod shot teary eyes to her demanding her to prove him wrong. Pushing her to not be able to have an anwser but secretly hoping she would crush his argument to bits. He stood there with righteous fury and Tinkerbell merely pointed to where the tears lay.

"Does that look, or even feel like she's happy right now? Do you honestly have to be so blind to think that she doesn't love you? She needs you Peter."

"Noooo, no she doesn't", Peter wailed. He covered his eyes and shook his head. Tinkerbell was suddenly furious. Patience was not the fairy's thing and it was only because of her LONG history with Peter she could take it up to this point. This was it, the last straw. Tink flew from her perch and with the face as red as the indians and waving her finger wildly, she reprimanded Peter like a small child.

"Peter Pan I will not have you continue on this way. You love Wendy, you always have. She needs you now and what do you do? You sit here in this cave which in case you haven't noticed is pretty dirty, dank, and dark. I'm sick of it, sick of Hook ruling Neverland, and sick of you hiding from your feelings. You aren't twelve anymore Peter grow up."

"But Tinkerbell you don't understand what it's like to lose someone you love. To have them so close but not there anymore, not the same as when you really knew them."

Tinkerbell's face suddenly lost its red flare. Her finger went limp and she flew close to Peter whose head was turned to the wall. She carefully pushed his cheek so he faced her. Peter expected more of an angry tirade but was suprised to see the glistening of small tears in Tink's eyes."Yes I do", she choked out and his heart instantly broke into a thousand pieces. In his own selfish cloud he had not noticed the emotional turmoil he subjected his friend to with his frequent mood swings and periods of silence that never seemed to end. It was in that moment he finally understood and accepted the verbal lectured he had just endured from Tinkerbell. Peter's own blue eyes began to water and he pulled Tink close and held her while they both cried. When the tears had dried the two sat there still for some time comforting one another. Finally Peter broke the embrace and looked down at his friend.

"I'm so sorry Tinkerbell, I've been stubborn and stupid and blind. I really do need to grow up and face the fact that I lo...", Peter stopped short unable to finish the phrase."I lo..."

Tinkerbell placed her tiny finger to his lips and smiled."It's okay I know how you feel and you do too. You don't have to tell me if you aren't ready yet. When the time comes you'll be able." Tink smiled up at her friend and was delighted when he returned her gesture with one of his own.

"Tinkerbell you are truly the wisest and compassionate person I know." Peter bowed to her and in turn she curtsied.

"Does this mean that you're ready to fight for Wendy and take back Neverland from Hook?" Tinkerbell looked at her friend with a mixture of hope, fear, and that spark that hasn't been seen since Wendy ten years ago. She held her breath trying to decipher the puzzle that was Peter's eyes. Just when she thought that he would recede and crawl back into his shell forever he spoke, with that devilish grin that Tinkerbell hadn't seen in a long time.

"M'lady I would be a fool not to accept this most valiant quest."

" Faith, trust, and pixie dust?", Tinkerbell stuck out her small hand. Peter smiled his first genuine one in years and he grabbed his friend's hand like old times.

"Faith, trust, and pixie dust."
