Chapter 3: Tink's Secret

"I'm listening," he replied to Tink eagerly, oh how he loved surprises.

"Close your eyes."

Peter obeyed. Tink leapt from Peter's shoulder and landed on the floor.

"Ok, Peter, open you eyes. Do not be frightened by what you see," Tink called out and eagerly watched for his reaction.

Peter opened his eyes to discover Tink had grown to the normal size of a person. His eyes widened as he looked at her body. She looked exactly the same as before but bigger. "She's beautiful," he thought to himself.

"Tink, you're big.."he said still dumbfounded.

"I just wanted to show your this before I went away," Tink had said wetly walking towards Peter, who remained silent.

"Peter, what are your exact feelings for me?" Tink asked leaning in close to Peter watching though his eyes. Her glowing light was very bright and he couldn't help but look away.

"What do you mean?" he said sounding irritated. Tink's expression changed to sincere,

"Your feelings for me, what are they? "

"Tink, you're my friend," Peter said with satisfaction.

Tinkerbells's looked changed to a frown. She leaned in closer.

"Is that all?" Peter nodded. "Peter," Tink sighed, "I love you."

Peter was confused and suddenly he felt angered.

"No, you don't. You can't. Please understand," he said his mood changing to sincere, "I already love someone."

Tink knew in her heart who this someone was. Feeling rejected and curious she went to shake his hand good-bye before his journey. Also, she was fighting back tears.

"Alright, I understand. Good-bye Peter." She said reaching out her hand.

Peter looked ghastly as his long-term friend; "You mean not to go with me to London?" Tink shook her head no.

"I'm too weak now for such a long journey. I will not be here when you return."

Peter with his eyes feeling the hot burn of tears reached out to shake her hand. Tink however had thought of something different. Instead of just shaking his hand, she grabbed it with a bit of force and pulled him toward her. He looked very surprised but did not resist. Tink, feeling this was her last moment with Peter, tilted her head and kissed Peter long and hard. He however did not kiss back. Instead he pulled away and turned from her. She started to cry and returned to her natural height. She landed on his shoulder and whispered into his ear, but he ignored her and brushed her off.

"Tinker bell, I'm only your friend." He said angrily.

With that, Tink began to wail and flew off. This was the last time Peter would ever see Tink and he knew it. He also began to cry, even though he felt strongly about what he had said he knew he would never see her again. Trying not to commit this incident to memory he slowly trotted up the stairs and out of his tree house. Unlike, the other times Peter had left for London he would actually make it this time.

End Notes: Ok I don't know how you guys are going to react with this. But I always felt there was some unfinished business between Peter and Tink so I decided to include in my story. You can't help but feel sorry for Tink though because I do believe she loved him and he felt something for her. But he wanted nothing more than to be friends with her and she in the worst way wanted to be his.
