1. The Reunion
Peter's POV
*Jingle Jingle*
Something was tugging at my hair and some kind of powder fell on my face making me sneeze. A high pitched tittering replaced the tugging and I slowly opened my eyes and saw a very red faced fairy shaking her finger at me while trying to fix her hair with her other hand. My sneeze must have blown her away. I smirked.
"Morning to you too Tink." I laughed, "Now, now, you can't be mad at me. After all, you should know better than to wake me up from my beauty sleep while hovering in front of my face like that."
*Jingle Jingle Jingle Jingle*
I looked at my surroundings. I slept in a tree last night, so I was quite a bit higher than the rest of the area. Since it was lighter outside, I could see much better. I saw a church steeple above the trees. There were still a lot of trees around the area. I was probably still a little farther away than I thought. I looked below me, making sure that Hook wasn't any where in sight.
"Tink, we should keep going. We still have to find out where my parents live." I smiled. I couldn't wait to see them. It had been so long. I thought they were dead for the longest time. About, 900 years.
I flew down to the ground and started in the direction of the church's steeple. Knowing my parents they would live near there because of their friendship with Friar Tuck.
After walking around the foreign town for a good 15 minutes I saw a little diner named the Blue Plate and decided I should probably ask if anyone knew where my parents lived, so I went inside. As soon as I stepped through the door my stomach started growling at me, I might not be able to starve to death, but hey, a boy's got to eat. However finding my parents is much more important than eating right now.
I walked up to the counter as a pretty dark haired woman walked out the back room.
"Good morning! How may I help you?" the waitress asked.
"Good morning, uh… Farrah," I answered reading her name tag, "I'm trying to find someone, could you maybe help me? Their names are Robin and Marian Hood."
"Robin and Marian huh? May I ask why you're looking for them?" replied Farrah, "You know I haven't seen you around here before. Are you visiting?"
"Yes, I arrived early this morning. I've been looking for them for quite awhile." I answered.
Gazing at me curiously she finally gave me directions to their house. She even drew me a small map on the back of a napkin! Quickly thanking her I practically ran out of the diner almost knocking over a beautiful blonde girl about my age and a younger brown headed girl next to her.
"Hey! Watch it!" the older girl yelled at me.
"Sorry!" I yelled back over my shoulder. I can't believe it! After all these years I'll finally see my parents again.
Taking a running start I leaped into the air and started flying towards their house, towards home.
I stood in front of the door. That's all I did, I just stood there. After being so excited, now I was nervous. Tink sat on my shoulder and waited. After about a minute of just standing there she flew off my shoulder and pushed her feet into the doorbell. I smiled.
"Thanks, Tink." She looked at me and smiled. I heard some footsteps walking up to the door. I sucked in my breath. The door opened and standing in the doorway was my mother, Marian. Her brown hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her eyes glowed green. Her eyes widened.
"Peter? Is that you?" She squeaked, tears starting to spill. I nodded. I could feel my eyes starting to water. She threw her arms around me and didn't let go. I felt loved again. I couldn't help but smile. I was the happiest boy alive.
"Marian? What's taking you so long?" I heard my father ask. We broke apart and he saw me. We looked at each other. He had grown a beard and he still wore his green hat. Tears started streaming down his face. "Is it really you?" I nodded, choking on my tears. I ran over to him and he threw his arms around me. After a while my mother squeezed in and we stood there hugging in the doorway, none of us wanting to let go.
