Part Two:

Wendy:

It was exam time and Wendy was set to work studying hard. She had five course modules she had to study for. She loved exam time. That was weird, right? But she loved it mostly because you didn't have lectures everyday and also you could dress how she wanted to. Sometimes she literally stayed in her pajama's all day- they were the most comfortable to study in.

The first Saturday of her exam study weekend, she went to go and visit her parents. They were having a big dinner party turned ball for John's twenty first birthday. She had had to tell her mother over the phone that she and Matt had broken up. Mother hadn't been too impressed but she had said, "She knew they weren't meant to be." Wendy found that strange since her mother was the one who wanted to set her up with Matthew in the first place. Her and Matt had seen each other around on campus several times and briefly greeted each other, but other than that there had been no communication. He had also not even been with Abigail, which was initially confusing to her, but then Em had explained that they'd broken up too. It confused her, but she didn't think too much of it. Life had gone on since she left Neverland. It actually surprised Wendy how much she didn't miss it. That was probably due to the fact that Tiger Lily and Hook were out to get her. It was easy to carry on as if she hadn't been there at all, and sometimes she wondered if she really had.

She was busy contemplating all of this while she was having a domestic worker in their new mansion of an estate do up her hair for her. The ladies name was Prunella. Wendy smiled gratefully at Prunella, "You're so good at this. I wish I had this skill." Prunella shrugged her shoulders, "I spent my whole childhood playing with my sister's hair. It just comes naturally, Miss Wendy." I nodded and otherwise didn't comment. It was the evening of John's twenty first birthday party and the event was only an hour away. Wendy wouldn't lie and pretend she wasn't slightly excited about it. She had been so cooped up from studying that it was nice to have an excuse to celebrate.

It felt odd for Wendy to actually look forward to this occasion considering the fact when she was younger, she couldn't stand these big events. Maybe it was because now she knew Peter was coming back to her. She wasn't sure the reason, but she wasn't too worried. Prunella finally finished her up-do that she was wearing for the occasion. Wendy barely recognized herself! She smiled happily, "Thank you, Prunella! You're an expert." The lady smiled and said, "It's not a problem Miss Wendy. I must go and attend to your mother now though." Wendy nodded and replied, "Of course! Please do!"

Prunella left and Wendy could hear the music starting up from downstairs already as she opened the door briefly. She put on her face powder, her red lipstick and some blusher. She looked so much older with her hair done up like this it was unreal. Wendy applied a little mascara and as she was doing so she thought to herself, 'If only Peter could see me now. I look like…' she shook the thoughts out of her head when another, male voice popped in, '…an adult.' Peter's voice appeared in her head out of the blue and she gasped, "Peter?" she said out loud.

The door opened at that very moment and it made Wendy jump! She heard Michael ask, "Can I come in?" Wendy nodded and replied, "Yes, yes Michael!" Michael walked in and he smiled, "Sis, you look beautiful!" Wendy beamed at him and said, "Thanks Mike. You look good in your tux." He smiled and shrugged his shoulders modestly, "Thanks! Did I hear you saying Peter? Or am I going around the bend?" Wendy blushed and Michael knew he wasn't imagining things, "You said Peter?"

Wendy nodded and sighed, "I guess I better tell you everything." Michael nodded, "That would be a good idea, Wendy. I want to know why Peter isn't here with you." Wendy sighed and started recounting her tales of her adventures back to Neverland. Michael listened carefully but his face showed an expression of awe and somewhat disbelief.

Peter:

Peter had connected with Wendy! It seemed like it had been decades, but he had managed! He was feeling weak form the lack of food and so that meant the connection between them became weaker. But he had managed nonetheless! She looked beautiful. Like she was getting ready for a ball or something. That meant she was probably trying to find someone else to take his place. This little bit of information made him feel like he was drowning in sorrow. He was a pathetic excuse for a man. He was still living in No Man's Land- this dried up filthy place that no one or no animal ever bothered to live in. He was a shadow of his former self. There was no way he could be with Wendy like this. She deserved someone so much better!

Peter contemplated this as he sat in a cave he had found. There was a peak of a mountain where he hid. The days were long and uneventful and he felt even more depressed than he had last time he was here on his own. All the life was being sucked out of him, and with that, his will to live. If Wendy found somebody else to love (which was his biggest fear) she probably deserved the other man more than him.

He wallowed in self-pity day in and day out, and this made it hard to connect with her. She didn't seem to think about him too much and this made it unbearable. At least if they could connect more often…

Peters head snapped up as he heard a sound. It was a rustle on the edge of the forest leaves. He had bows and arrows with him, which he had collected from his hideout he'd spent the night in with Wendy so he drew those out. Then he saw a small figure hop out of the bush. It was Kele, Dasans kid. Peter frowned. What on earth…then he saw Dasan appear right after. Kele was talking to his father but Peter couldn't hear them from so far away.

He frowned and hoped that they would come closer. They did. Kele was asking his father, "Why are we looking for Peter here? He wouldn't be able to survive No Mans Land." Dasan sighed, "There's nowhere else to go. We've looked everywhere. This is the one place he can hide." Kele replied, "Or he could have found a way back already." Dasan disagreed, "No, because if he had the trees would be greener and there would be more food. You know…" Kele interrupted his father, "Yes, I know. The weather changes with him. Usually it rains though. Now it's not even raining, it's just…dry." Dasan grumbled, "Even worse. We're all going to starve if he doesn't come back. I wish Tiger Lily and Hook would see that."

Peter wondered whether or not he should reveal himself. How could he trust that this wasn't a set up? Would they take him to Tiger Lily and Hook anyway? Maybe he should just give himself up and that way the princess could have what she wanted. He didn't get to make the choice though because that moment, his stomach grumbled loudly. They were close by, a few meters, and Dasan's sharp ears picked it up, "Who's there?" He asked the general, dry land. Peter bit his lip, contemplating whether or not to reveal himself. In the end, he decided that he should.
