Mid-Victorian Era:
"I've been considering. I think I want to bring "woman" to the island."
"Why?"
"She might be useful."
A collective nod over all the men.
"But women have never come to Neverland before."
"Yes. It was you, Grey, who said that you had no need for them. That they would only be bothersome and get the way of things."
"Quite correct, Orange. But I've been bored of late; a female might spice life up around here."
Another group nod then pause.
"Would she be our mother? That is the only woman I have ever known."
"Hmmmm, well I suppose she could be. She could take care of us, although grown men like us do not require such pampering."
"Then why bring her if not to be our mother? What could a lady possibly give that we do not have already?"
All eyes shifted to Grey as he quietly contemplated the query.
"I think….. I want to play a game."
"A game, Grey?"
"Yes. You see, Father told me once that women are the most difficult game to chase."
"That's true! I remember my father saying something alike; women are the hardest pursuit or something like that."
"We hunted pirates, big game, and sea monsters, but never something like "woman". It might be fun."
Yet another nod; this was quite common when discussing such matters together.
"So, will she be our mother or something to let loose and chase about?"
"Both. Women are versatile creatures; besides, it might be nice to have a mother again."
"Then it's settled. I will go to the mainland to fetch us a mother. What kind of mother should I bring?"
A pregnant pause as everyone considered.
"Smart."
"Kind."
"Pretty; brown hair if possible."
"Caring but also playful."
"Can run fast."
"Weak; needing someone to always save her."
"Obedient."
"Good at cleaning."
"And cooking."
"All capital suggestions, men. I shall go forth and return with our mother and greatest game to come to Neverland."
This is a story of a man named Christian Grey, who was king of Neverland. Neverland, you see, was of Christian's perfect design; everything was to his tastes. He wanted a foe to keep life from getting too dull, so he crafted Captain James Hook and gave him just enough free agency. He was clever enough to challenge Christian but not truly threaten him.
Aside from the pirates were the Lost Boys, or men in this case. Christian hand-selected them from infancy and raised them on the island. When they reached adulthood, he gave them an immortal elixir. They were completely loyal and obedient to Christian; never questioning his orders or decisions. Yes, with his crew of men and an enemy like Capital Hook, Christian thought he was set in his ideal paradise.
But there was something missing, although it took Christian many years to figure out what it was. Before then he had never given a thought to women, seeing them as superfluous and unnecessary. But by and by, his curiosity grew, and he began to wonder if they were what was missing from his haven; what kept it from being truly perfect.
The bored king decided to test it. He would introduce a woman to Neverland and see what happened. What Christian really wanted was a devoted mother-figure; someone who would care for him, and he would care for her. Christian would protect her, and she in turn, would obey him without question.
Of course, Anastasia Steele would never put up with that, and she was the last thing Christian Grey ever expected.
