P is for... Peter Pan

Peter Pan

"Sometimes I just don't want do grow up. You know, like Peter Pan." Linus said one lazy Sunday afternoon to his sister, Lucy. They were just sitting around at home, vegetating, like many people chose to do on weekends.

He had been contemplating growing up for a while, about all the things kids can do that adults can't, like sleep in the backseat of a car or drink juice out of a juice box.

"Don't be silly you, blockhead!" shouted Lucy "That's just not possible!"

"Says you!" retorted Linus. He grabbed a newspaper off their coffee table, then flipped to the comics section and said:

"See this comic here? It's been running for over 50 years! But all the kids in it never grow up, Lucy! They always stay eight years old forever!"

"But we're not in a comic, Linus. Besides, the artist probably just did that because well... because he felt like it! Linus, you're gonna grow up eventually. Just face it!"

Linus didn't say anything after that. She was right.

A/N: Actually, Lucy was wrong, considering that they are comic book characters (laugh). I wrote this chapter after realizing I hadn't written about Linus in a while.
