He hid amongst the leaves, hoping she hadn't seen him. He planned to learn as much about her as he could before he revealed himself. He had to know why his mind and body thought she was Wendy when everything else said differently. He hated not knowing but he had to admit that her mystery was intriguing.

He watched her carefully as he jumped from the tree to another branch then onto a nearby rooftop. He walked gently as he watched her careful not to make a sound. He picked up her step and almost forgot that he wasn't walking beside her. His mind wandered.

She didn't look like Wendy. She was dressed quite different. She wore boy's clothes for the most part and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail with the bottom half braided like an Indians. She didn't look Indian.

Yet through all her differences something about her made him feel like she was Wendy. Something had urged him to return to the main land. He had thought that something was Wendy yet the feeling had brought him to this new land to follow this new girl. He suddenly fell.

Without thinking he'd crashed into a chimney and stumbled down the roof. Shrieking as he fell he landed in the bush.

She spun around.

All was calm. She swore she'd heard a shriek and crash. She stood still and silent looking over the sidewalk, street, houses, and cars. Everything seemed in order. Cautiously she turned around and continued to walk on.

The school was more than five blocks yet and it was already six-thirty. School started at seven. Knowing she wouldn't make it she decided not to go. Turning down a side street she walked through the allies to waste time. If she stayed out till seven she could head home and be alone till five. That's what she longed for. To be alone with her thoughts and dreams.

He stuck his head out of the leaves cautiously. She wasn't anywhere to be found. He jumped into the air and flew to the rooftops. Looking around he couldn't find her.

"Where'd she go Tink?" he asked the fairy.

Bells tinkled.

"The alley?" Bells rang.

He leaped effortlessly to another rooftop. He found her walking slowly. Now confused he walked along side her on the rooftops.

He had to know. He couldn't stand being made to wait. He sank down to the ground and silently walked behind her. Tracing her every step perfectly he began to think it a game. Then suddenly she spun around catching him off guard.
