I forgot to add a disclaimer to the first chapter!!! All characters from Peter Pan belong to the estate of J.M. Barrie. The only things I have rights to are the new characters and the plot of this story. It's also hard for me to write like the English would talk, as I am American, so bear with me on that respect. Also, review!!! I want to improve my stories, and it's hard to improve them if you don't have any suggestions!!! Happy reading!!!

Chapter 2 – My hallucinations

The party finally over, Fred and I left the house.

"Whew! What a party! There were so many people there," Fred exclaimed. "I saw Aaron. He moved to Scotland. He's a lawyer now, you know. Fascinating. Wendy? Are you listening? Who did you see tonight?"

"A lot of girls. There was Elizabeth. We talked most of the nights. I also saw Cassandra. She's married now. And expecting. How wonderful." But I kept to myself the one person I was most excited about. Was it really? Or just someone who looked like him? For I hadn't seen him in years, and tonight he was quite grown up, so how could I be sure it was him? Hadn't I just been thinking about him? Yes, that's it. I had been thinking about him, and he was still on my mind. Someone who had some similarities was there, so when I saw him, I thought he was someone else.

We got to my house at last. The chauffeur came around and opened my door. Fred got out, too, and walked me to the front door.

"Dear Wendy," Fred said, slightly squeezing the arm he was holding. "You were distant tonight. I won't ask about it now, but please tell me sometime. I love you, and I want to be with you. I want to know what you are thinking, feeling. Please."

I smiled at him. "Thank you for being understanding. Maybe someday you will know."

Fred squeezed my arm again. "Good night." He turned and walked down the stairs. I watched him get into the car and drive off.

I walked into the house, thinking about what Fred had just said. He loved me with all his heart, I knew this. But did I feel the same? After tonight, I wasn't so sure. I've realized that what I have been feeling these past years was what someone feels when they lose someone they hold near and dear to their heart. But those feelings need never be told, nor who I feel them for, and Fred wants to know!

I felt panicked, for no one was to know about my adventures. The shame it would bring on my family! I was horrified at the thought.

I got to my room and took off my dress. I put on my nightgown, then went to my window. As I was looking to the night sky, I saw something bright streak across it. I gasped.

Could it be? I thought.

I shook that thought out of my head. It was only a shooting star, I told myself. Stop being so silly! He's never going to come back!

I walked over to my bed and got in it. After awhile, sleep came, but it was a fitful sleep. All night I dreamt about Captain Hook, Tiger Lily, and mermaids.
