Hello everyone! So sorry for the very late update on this, but I was having some trouble writing the next chapter. No worries though, I've got my plan :) I hope you all enjoy chapter 21 and I will see you at the bottom of the page! :)

Peter's face started to brighten up like a shining candle, his face no longer looking pale, and his eyes starting to not look so lifeless. When I was taken away from Neverland, it was like I had taken a piece of Peter with me, and like he had kept a piece of me with him on the island, resulting in both of us being miserable in our different worlds. He wiped away a small tear, striping my cheek with a glossy shine. The lost boys cheering echoed in the background as Peter and I were reunited. I took his hand and gathered everyone at the table once more to look at the map.

"Alright, what do you suggest we do, Peter?" Slightly asked as he looked up at his leader. Peter looked down at the map and then stayed in silence for a few moments.

"That is a very good question, Slightly." He said.

"We absolutely cannot wait too much longer to act. The wedding is only a short time away and I would like to not have to marry that scoundrel." I added as I looked up from the map.

"I believe I have one idea." John said through the silence of our thoughts. Everyone turned their attention towards him. "What is the number one thing Hook loves more than anything else?"

"His hat?" Nibs yelled as he scratched his head.

"Smee?" One of the twins suggested.

"Power...and money." John said. At first I was confused, where could John possibly be going with this? "There are several parts to this plan that need to be carefully done. If not done the right way, the entire plan could suffer. First of all, we start with Wendy. We need to get Hook and William in once place so we can take out both of them at the same time. The only way we can do that is to get William out of London. After all, the only reason he is there is because of Wendy. He wants her for her looks, and the fortune that comes with her." He said.

"What am I suppose to do John? Make myself look ugly?" I said with a laugh.

"No. Do you remember when you first met William, and you told me his father was a gentle and loving man who only wants what is best for his 'son'?" He asked.

"Yes. He honestly saw William as a son. He still cares for William, but he is ashamed of all of the evil behind his personality. He is too afraid of him and Hook to rise up against them, though." I said.

"That makes it even more perfect. You are going to go over to their house, while William is away of course, and tell his father that your fortune has been lost due to our father being fired from his job. He will tell William the news after that."

"Won't he see it's not true though the next time he meets with father?" I asked.

"Not if we tell him what we are up to. You said it yourself he is too afraid to rise up, so if we do it for him, and he just helps on the side some, I'm sure he would agree to it. To make sure William goes back to Neverland and doesn't stay in London, we write a fake letter signed from Hook, requesting his presence for some kind of pirating job." He said.

"And then we have them both in one place and the next step of the plan can take action." I finished.

"John you're a genius!" Peter exclaimed. We would need to work fast to make sure this plan would take place quickly, but we also needed to make up the second part as fast as we could, because then it wouldn't be long before William found out that letter was fake. It was decided that I would go to William's house in two days time and begin step number one of the two part plan. As the lost boys talked to one another, Peter and I walked out onto the beach of Neverland and walked down the coast.

"This plan will save us, Wendy. I just know it." Peter said with a smile as he grabbed my hand.

"You have so much optimism with this, Peter, and I honestly wish I could say the same. Every time we think we have a way to win, something comes along to ruin it. I just do not want it ruined this time." I said as I looked over at him. He sighed, realizing he needed some way to try to comfort me.

"I don't blame you for having doubts, Wendy. I, too, have some bit of worry, but I have to try to think positively to give the plan a better chance to succeed. It will not even come close if we continue to have a negative attitude." He said. I suppose he was right, if I kept thinking negatively, a negative outcome would result. Peter and I must have walked for an hour or so, talking of all the things I had missed in Neverland. I was surprised that Peter actually had questions about London as well.

"I'm so sorry to have to break this up, but I suppose we should get you and the boys back to London before morning." Tinkerbell said as she flew out of the woods and over to us. I looked over Peter, who gently took my hand and kissed my knuckle.

"Don't worry," he said, "we will be together again soon." I hugged him tightly, not wanting to say goodbye and go back to my miserable world. Tinkerbell flew us back to our house, and before I knew it, I was back in my bedroom, sound asleep in my bed.

When I had awoken the next morning, I found myself surprisingly satisfied with the amount of sleep I had gotten, not feeling tired at all, but possibly somewhat happier. I went over to my window, feeling the newly risen sun on my face. I looked over across the street and found carriages already rolling down the roads. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I had to start thinking optimistically like Peter suggested. I put on a colorful blue dress, instead of the duller ones I had been wearing lately, and headed downstairs. This time, a real smile came to my mouth, and I was happy that I no longer had to paint one on. I was going to be free once again, and all I had to do was think of the happiest thoughts.

The first part of the plan has been..well..planned :) In only two days it will be put into action! Will it be successful? I hope you all enjoyed this chapter as much as I did! I promise I will try to update a lot sooner next time! Remember to R and R and follow/favorite! :)
