Sorry I haven't updated sooner, but I've been having fun reading other fan
fiction.
In this chapter I was trying to make Peter do everything Adam would do and to also have him bring up things that Wendy doesn't want anyone to know about. He's trying to teach her a lesson for telling him to grow up. Wendy had said she wanted him to act exactly like the other men on the ship, and that's what Peter was doing. Doing exactly what Adam was doing. But Peter was doing it in a way he hoped would make Wendy mad. So if you are confused by this I am sorry. I had gotten the idea from the Disney movie the Jungle Book. I'm just not very good at writing things like that. So please read and I hope you don't get confused.
The American Adventure!
Ch. 11 Grown up Peter!
Adam and Wendy sat at a small table in the dining room, and were having an interesting conversation as they sipped their hot tea. Not far from them, at a much larger table, groups of people were celebrating a birthday. It was a birthday party for a young lady passenger who was turning the age of 15. Her name was Marie Gilbert. She was a very pretty girl with long blond hair and large blue eyes. In front of her on the table was a small pile of colorful wrapped gifts. They had asked Adam and Wendy to join in the celebration, but they politely refused for they didn't want to impose.
Adam: How is the tea?
Wendy: Oh, perfectly fine thank you! It was very nice of you to invite me.
Adam: Well I thought you could use some company for...I hope you don't get angry with me...but when I passed your room on the way to mine I heard you faintly crying.
Wendy looked down at the table. She didn't want Adam to see the tears that were forming in her eyes. But he did notice something was wrong.
Adam: I hope you don't mind me asking, but why were you crying?
Wendy wiped some tears away.
Wendy: Oh it was really nothing. I just had a silly argument with...
She was interrupted by a song.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MARIE! HAPPY BIRRHDAY TO YOU!
There was much clapping as the cook came from the kitchen carrying a much decorated Birthday cake with 15 lit candles on the top.
Marie smiled as the cake was placed beside the pile of gifts on the table. She took a deep breath and blew all the candles out in one breath.
Adam and Wendy watched the happy scene for a bit and then turned back to each other.
Wendy: What a wonderful party she is having. It sort of reminds me of my 15th birthday.
Adam: Oh really, how is that?
Wendy thought back two years ago on her birthday. She remembered celebrating with her family in the afternoon of that day. That's when she had received her first long skirted gown. It had been blue with white trim. Her mother had made it for her to wear to the big social gathering her aunt had arranged to celebrate her birthday. Wendy remembered walking into the large room full of people she really did not know. She remembered they all clapped as she entered and sang Happy Birthday to her. She had smiled the whole time but she hadn't felt comfortable. She remembered how happy she was when it was all over and that she could go up to her room. That night Peter Pan had visited her. He some how knew it was her birthday and wanted to give her a special gift. He had sprinkled her with fairy dust and took her to Neverland for the first time since she and her brothers and the lost boys had come home. She never told anyone that she had gone back to Neverland. She never even told the boys. It was her and Peter's little secret.
Wendy: I had celebrated it with my family in the afternoon and then had a party with all my friends. I even went and visited Peter.
Adam: You mean while you celebrated with your family and friends you had time to go all the way to Brighton to visit Mr. Pang?
Wendy:...um...No, I...went the day after my Birthday. Do you really think I could have done all that in one day? I'm not even that good.
Adam and Wendy laughed.
Adam: Well you never know. You seem like the kind of woman who could somehow manage it.
Wendy blushed at the compliment. Then she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and was stunned to who was in front of her.
It was Peter. At least she thought it was Peter.
He was wearing the best clothes he had gotten, which was a black looking suit with a white under shirt and tie, and he was also wearing his shoes. He also somehow managed to slick back his once curly hair. He held a grin as he stood there.
Wendy: Peter?
Peter: I was just wondering if it would be ok if I could join you two for tea on such a warm morning.
Wendy wasn't able to reply for she was shocked at his difference. He sounded and looked so much older. Finally Adam answered him.
Adam: Well, I had only asked Wendy here to join me for... Peter interrupted him.
Peter: Well, I'm glad you don't mind.
He quickly sat in a chair while Adam glared at him.
Peter was served a cup of tea as Wendy and Adam got theirs refilled. Wendy still hadn't said anything.
Adam took his napkin and put it down on his lap, so did Peter. Adam then took a packet of cream and sugar and poured them into his tea, so did Peter. Adam then took a spoon and stirred his tea, as did Peter. Adam then took a drink of his tea, of course with his pinky up. Peter did the same. Wendy watched Peter closely fearing of what he was up to.
Adam started up a discussion.
Adam: So Wendy, has my gift helped you like I hoped?
Wendy had been watching Peter who had been smiling at her the whole time, and didn't hear Adam right away.
Wendy: Huh? What?
Adam: I was just wondering if my gift has helped you.
Wendy: Oh yes? My locket clock has helped me much since last night when you gave it to me.
Adam smiled.
Adam: I'm glad to here that.
Peter spoke up.
Peter: Wendy how is the gift that I gave you?
Wendy looked up at Peter and stared at him. How could he ask about his gift (his kiss) to her in front of Adam?
Wendy: It's just fine Peter.
Peter looked pleased.
Peter: Good! Good!
Adam: What gift may that be?
Wendy: Um...He had...um given me a necklace for my last birthday. It was...um also a locket that could hold pictures. I have pictures of my family in it now.
Peter: What? Wendy I didn't give you...
Wendy: So Peter, what have you been up to since breakfast?
Peter smiled at her for he thought it was funny for how she was trying to cover up everything he said.
Peter: Well, if you must know Wendy I took your advice and have decided to act just like the other grown ups.
Wendy couldn't believe what he had just said out loud in front of Adam. She wanted to him Peter across the head for what he was trying to do. He wanted to embarrass her even more. That's what he was trying to do she thought.
Adam: What was that again Mr. Pang?
Peter: I was only saying that I took Wendy's advice and...
Peter was once again interrupted but this time it wasn't by Wendy.
Marie: PETER!
A very excited blond haired, blue eyed Marie had ran and jumped onto the sitting Peter and took him into a large hug.
Adam and Wendy were very confused at what was happening as was Peter.
The girl finally let go and stood back and smiled.
Marie: Peter, I can't believe you're here!
Peter finally recognized her and smiled.
Peter: Marie!
Peter stood up and once again they hugged.
Wendy wasn't for sure how they knew each other, but she sure felt jealous as she watched the hugging scene in front of her.
End Ch. 11
Well, was it confusing? If it was I again am sorry. I'm doing the best I can. I think there will be at least two more chapters of the boat ride to America, and then the fun begins with them actually in America. I am still researching about where I should have them go when they arrive in America. I know for sure they will arrive in New York. That's all I know so far. Sorry for all my gabbing. Please R&R if you can. PLEASE!
