Peter decided that he just couldn't deal with Jane's petty problems with him tonight, so he flew off to the lost boy's huts, and stayed the night. The next morning, Peter was afraid that Jane and Danny might already be gone, so he woke early, and left for the hideout.
When he got there, he was terrified to see the place had been over turned, and by the look of it, there was a terrible struggle, and then something caught Peters eye. A shiny dagger, with a note attached to it, it read:
Peter Pan, we've got the girl. If you ever want to see her, come get her, before its too late.
Signed,
Captain Hook
Without so much as a second thought, Peter was out the door, and in the sky, flying towards Hooks harbored ship. The giant ship looked as though it was made for a king. The sails were pearl white, and the wood was glossy and clean. Peter landed silently on the deck, and crept to the porthole window were he saw hook, laughing, no sign of Jane he thought. She must be locked up somewhere else. But before he had a chance to think of anything else he felt a net fall over his head, and was being dragged someplace, most likely to Hook.
Peter was right, he was finally released from the net, and Hook's smiling evil face was looking straight at him.
'I see you found my note Mr. Pan" he crudely said twirling his mustache around his finger.
"Where is she?" "LET JANE GO!" "Do whatever you want with me, but please let her go.," whispered Peter looking at his feet.
" Who said I had your little girlfriend?"
"But the note. I mean…didn't you?"
"A lie Peter, a lie to lure you here, so I could finally finish you off, get rid of your little medalling ideas, and finally do away with you, like I should of when I first met you!" Hook told him.
"You mean she's safe? You haven't harmed her?"
" No I haven't I haven't harmed your precocious little girlfriend, she has nothing to fear. You on the other hand…."
Back at the hideout a Jane went to look for Peter, to tell him her and Danny were leaving, but she almost fainted when she saw the note, "We've got the girl? Wait their, their, talking about me, it's a trap! PETER!"
She grabbed the dagger, and went straight to Hooks ship.
'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HIM!" "WHERES PETER?"
'My, my isn't this interesting. Peter came to save you, and now you're here to save him? I'm I right? Well sorry dear, its too late," he through her a green hat, "he gave himself up for you, as long as I didn't hurt you. So go on before I get the urge, to break my promise!"
"You , you killed him?" Jane said shaking
"Indeed I did" Hook laughed.
"YOU-YOU-KILLED HIM! YOU BASTERED! YOU KILLED HIM!" she sobbed, screaming. Before she knew what she was doing she picked up her dagger, and ran at Hook.
"NOOO!" Hook shrieked. As he hit the ground, Jane fell to her knees sobbing over the bloody green hat.
"Peter! I'm so sorry! I just killed someone…. I'm so sorry…. I love you Peter! I'm so sorry…"
"I love you to Jane."
"PETER?!? But I though you you?!"
" Hook's a liar …I escaped from him, and heard you talking—'
"I killed him. I can't believe I killed someone."
'Don't worry Jane. When you kill someone in Neverland all that happens is the get sent to the outside world, and can never come back. I can't believe you actually got him though. The times I've tired."
Peter and the still shaken Jane walked slowly back to the hideout.
"Peter?"
"Yeah?"
"Did you really mean what you said?"
"What did I say?"
'That- that you loved me?"
Peter blushed. "Yeah…I I really did. I've never met anyone like you Jane. I wanted you to stay because I really love you."
Jane gave him a sad smile. "I love you to Peter I really do ----"
"Then you'll stay?"
"I I don't know."
" Think about it, we could live in Neverland forever, we could stay this age until people stop dreaming, we could live together here, for all eternity."
"I – I cant Peter I'm I'm sorry"
"It's it's okay Jane. I understand"
Jane began to cry silently, as she smiled at Peter with loving eyes.
"What did I do this time?"
"Peter Pan, you may not realize it, but you are …..growing up." She kissed him gently on the cheek, and hugged him goodnight.
That night she thought of her words to peter. Neverland wasn't as great as it was made out to be, no matter what, nothing can stop your mind from growing, and your mind could have years of experience, even if you seemed like you were thirteen from appearance. Jane rolled over and went to sleep, she needed her rest, tomorrow Danny and her would be retuning home.
The sun snuck into the hideout, walking Jane gently as she aroused, she was saddened by the thought of leaving even though she new she had no other choice. As she crept out of bed, she quietly woke Danny. It would be too hard to say goodbye to the lost boys and Peter so Jane decide they'd leave without telling anyone. But just before they flew into the sky they heard a voice behind them.
"Weren't leaving without saying goodbye now then were you?"
"Come on Peter." She said pointing towards the sky.
They flew over England, and past the Big Ben, over all the little homes, with smoke gently issuing out of them, and little horse carriages, clogging down the cobblestone pathways. They finally came to a little home, the window wide open.
"Be back in a second." She whispered pointing to Danny who was sleeping in her arms.
When she returned, she saw peter sitting on her bed.
"Well I guess this means goodbye then." He gloomily remarked
"No." he said "Not good by…we won't say good bye. Well say…see you later. It doesn't sound so final. It's not like ill never see you again right?"
"Of course." She told him. Although she silently thought this maybe the last time they meet for a long while.
"I'll miss you Jane."
"I'll miss you to." She hugged him around the neck, and realized it had been that same position they'd reunited in, and it had felt like it was such a short while ago.
Peter leaned forward, and tenderly kissed her.
"Now we are even."
Jane laughed, as Peter walked to the window, nothing unusual happened Jane began to cry, but then, something unusual did happen. Jane saw a tear, rolling down Peter's cheek.
"Jane, promise me something. Don't grow up, don't ever grow up. Stay like this forever, and when the time is right I will come get you I swear!"
'I promise Peter" she said, tears now flooding down her face like a waterfall.
And with that, he whooshed into the night, the second star, and straight to the right.
20 YEARS LATER
"JANE!" Peter yelled.
"AAAAAHHHHHH! MOTHER!"
" Emily what's the matter!?"
"There's a boy in my room!"
"PETER? It's me its Jane!"
"Jane?!? But your – you – what about the promis you and me I mean…you lied!"
'I'm sorry, Peter. I really am." "But after you left, those few days at Neverland, they were just a blur, and, and, I carried on. I don't know what even made me say that to you, I knew I would grow up."
'Well bye then." Peter said, it was obvious he was seriously hurt.
"No! Peter I want you to take Emily to Neverland. She needs to see it. Just let her come back, when she wants to.' Jane kissed her daughter on the cheek.
"Fine"
"Bye mother" Emily murmured as she hugged Jane. Then, Peter and Emily flew into the distance directly to Neverland.
Jane closed the window, and whispered, "I think now the time is right to say Good bye. So Good bye Peter Pan, you will never grow up, at least never in Neverland."
All done, hope you liked my story, and I hope I made some one smile! :)
