I'm so sorry. I had ch. 2 done last night. But when I went to load it on afterwards, my disk when whacky. So I rewrote it this morning. I don't know if it's as good as my first ch. 2. But it will have to do. Sorry again.

The American Adventure!

Ch. 2 Along for the ride.

Wendy Darling pulled out her traveling bags and started to pack for her long journey to America. She would be leaving in less then two days and she needed to get things ready to go. Her parents had notified Cousin Susan in America that Wendy was indeed coming. They had her trip all planned out. She would take a train from Londan to the city of Brighton and from there take a ship all the way to America. They thought the ride by ship would take at least 2 weeks to get to its destination (just guessing).

Wendy was still putting things in her bag when she thought she heard a tapping at the window. Guessing she knew who it was, she went over to it and opened it wide. There was no one there. Must have been my imagination she thought to herself. She walked away and continued to what she was doing, leaving the window wide open.

With her back towards the window, she suddenly heard a loud BOO! from behind her. She jumped at the noise and turned around relieved to see only Peter Pan.

He still looked exactly the same as the first time they saw him, but maybe a little bit older because of all his visits to England. Peter still had the same curly brownish-blond hair and bright eyes. He only wore leaves and vines for clothing and still smiled that smile no girl could ever forget.

Wendy: Peter you scared me!

Peter: I'm sorry. I was only playing.

Wendy couldn't help but smile. Everything was still fun and games to him.

He floated down from the window seal and landed and sat on Wendy's bed.

Peter: What are you doing?

Wendy: I'm packing.

Peter: Why are you packing?

Wendy: I'm getting ready to go on a trip.

Peter: Where are you going?

Wendy: To America.

Peter: What's America?

Wendy was getting kind of annoyed with all the questions, but she didn't say anything because she didn't want to hurt his feelings. So she continued to answering his questions.

Wendy: America is a land far away from here. Its wear everyone has freedom to do what they want and say whatever they have on their minds.

Peter shrugged.

Peter: Sounds a lot like Neverland to me. That's it! Why don't you just go to Neverland with me again?

Wendy: Oh Peter that would be wonderful, but I can't.

Peter looked disappointed.

Peter: Why not?

Wendy: Peter the last time we went away with you, it so broke my parents hearts. I couldn't put them through that pain again. Now that they have us back, they refuse to let us go to Neverland again. Besides I really want to go to America and see my cousin.

Peter didn't even here the last part of her sentence.

Peter: WHAT! You can never come away with me ever again?

Wendy: Peter, that's not what I meant. I just can't go with you right now. I'm getting ready to go to America in just a few short days.

Peter: Well, we better get going then, have our adventure together, and get you back in time.

Peter flew up and grabbed Wendy's hand and started to pull her towards the window.

Wendy: Peter! Didn't you hear me? I'm going to America in just a few short days. There is no time for an adventure. I'm sorry.

She pulled away from his grip on her hand.

Peter Pan was mixed with disappointment and anger at the same time. He couldn't believe Wendy would rather go to this America place instead of to Neverland with him. Peter knew he was way better then anyone in America. Come on people, I mean he is Peter Pan. He knew he was braver, stronger, cuter, and more fun to be around then anyone in America. So why did Wendy choice America instead of him? I mean all he wanted to do was to spend some time with Wendy alone. Besides the monthly visits he did make to her and the boys, when he remembered to come.

Suddenly Peter jumped up excitedly. He had an idea. He flew down and landed right in front of Wendy.

Peter: O.K. Then I'll just go with you instead!

Wendy: Oh Peter! That would be wonderful. But I don't think my parents would take kindly to that idea.

Peter: Why not?

Wendy: They are still plenty angry with you for taking us away for so long last time.

Peter: But you all wanted to come.

Wendy: I know Peter. It's just.....not a good idea. Do you understand?

She looked at him with apology in her eyes.

Peter: Sure, I understand. Well, I better go.

He slowly flew up to the window opening.

Wendy: Are you not going to see the boys tonight?

Peter: I will see them next time. Bye Wendy.

He flew a ways into the sky when he suddenly heard a voice calling from behind him. He turned around.

Wendy was yelling something to him.

Wendy: Remember Peter. I won't be here when you visit next, so I will see you on the visit afterwards.

Peter couldn't believe what she was saying. She would still be gone when he came back in a month. He didn't like that at all. But he didn't say anything to her but a farewell.

Peter: All right Wendy. Bye.

He flew farther into the sky.

Wendy: Bye Peter. Goodbye.

She watched him disappear into the clouds with a tear running down her cheek at the thought of not seeing him for tow long months. But she had to be brave. She really wanted to go see her cousin Susan. And that's what she was going to do.

Wendy went to bed dreaming of Peter's disappointing eyes when she told him couldn't go.

TRAIN STATION

It was the day of Wendy's departure. Everyone had come to see her off. There were so many kisses, hugs and goodbyes, that Wendy thought she had missed the train. But she got there just in time. She went and sat at a window seat so she could watch the changing landscape as the train went on its way. Within a hour, Wendy had decided to take a nap for she still had another two hour train trip ahead of her.

ON TOP OF TRAIN

Peter Pan sat uncomfortably on top of the moving train. He had decided to invite himself along on Wendy's trip. He had told the lost boys and Tink that he would be gone for awhile and not to worry. He said that he was going off on a grand adventure to protect their Mother Wendy from what ever she ran into during her tip. This was only an excuse to actually go, but in truth, who better then the Peter Pan could protect the precious Wendy better then him. The lost boys of course believed him, but Tink knew better. She would rather either go along with Peter or have him stay here. But she couldn't do anything. He was there leader and she had to follow his demands of staying there and watch over the lost boys.

Peter tried to sleep. But he couldn't. He couldn't stop thinking of Wendy's reaction when he would finally let her know he had come along for the ride.

End Ch. 2
