I'mmm baaackckck! New chapter up finally, sorry for the wait.
Just for those who don't know what R&R means I always assumed that it meant Read and Review, but who knows, I'm not a very smart person. Also in this chapter there is a lot of tea drinking, so to those who don't like tea...sorry. Anyway on to the story!!!
The American Adventure!
Ch. 29 Going Home!
Peter: Talk! What is there to talk about?
Wendy sighed.
Wendy: I think you know what about Peter!
Peter scratched his head trying to think of something.
Then an idea popped in his head. He smiled in excitement.
Peter: Oh! You want to know how I did it again!
Wendy looked confused.
Wendy: Did what again!
Peter: How I managed to save you again. See it went like this...
He began to act out and tell her all about his heroic plan to rescue her. The Lost boys and the Indians sat in a group on the ground to listen to the great tale that had only happened moments ago.
Peter: Then I thought why not have Tink bring the Crocodile here to Hook instead of...
Wendy became frustrated and interrupted.
Wendy: No Peter! That's not what I wanted to talk about.
Peter stopped in surprise.
Peter: What else is there to talk about then!
Wendy: About going home!!!
Peter's smile disappeared. He stood there in silence and just stared at her as if he was poisoned from her words.
Tiger Lilly, knowing where this was probably going, decided to give them some privacy and began to give order to head back to camp.
The Indians stood up and began to walk away, followed by the sadden Lost Boys who had just heard their recently new Mother say she wanted to go home.
FINALLY ALONE
It seemed like they had been there forever just staring at each other in silence.
Wendy stepped towards him.
Wendy: Peter I...
Peter stepped away angry.
Peter: Why do you always have to go home! Why don't you just stay!
Wendy: I can't Peter! I don't belon...
Peter: Why do you always have to ruin everything Wendy! WHY! You would have so much fun here with boys and me. Neverland could become your new home.
Wendy: Peter I don't belong here! Earth is my home...it's where I belong. Just like you belong here in Neverland!
Wendy expected a harsh response back but was surprised when Peter turned his back on her and went and sat down against the bark of a nearby tree.
Wendy stood and watched him. It seemed like he was thinking...thinking hard about what to say to her next.
Minutes passed by when...
Peter: You'll forget about us!
Wendy's eyes widened from his words.
Wendy: What?
Peter looked on up to where she stood.
Peter: You'll forget about us! They all did and so will you.
Wendy didn't understand what he was talking about. Why would she forget about him and all of Neverland? It was more likely for Peter to forget about her, not the other way around.
Wendy went and sat next to him.
Wendy: Peter, what do you mean others?
He looked at her with blank eyes.
Peter: I never told you this Wendy but I have brought other people here from the other world way before you and Marie. And they also always wanted to go home, just like you do now.
Wendy: Did they end up going home?
Peter: Yeah, I always took them home. But then they started to grow up and they forgot about me. They lost their belief.
Tears began to form in his eyes.
Peter: I don't want you to go because I know you will end up forgetting about me too.
Wendy smiled.
Wendy: Oh Peter, are you kidding! I would never forget about you. How could I?
Peter: You will if you go back. You'll grow up and forget.
Wendy: Well I haven't forgotten about you yet Peter Pan and neither have my brothers due to your monthly visits. That kept you fresh in our minds. So why don't you continue to do that after I go home.
Peter sat up straighter and thought as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
Peter: I guess I could do that! It would be just like before!
Wendy nodded.
Wendy: And I could always come back for a visit Peter, as could the boys.
Peter smiled at the idea about them all coming back for a visit.
Peter flew up in excitement.
Peter: Alright Wendy lady if you want to go home, let's take you home!
Wendy stood up and laughed.
Wendy: I don't know how you do it Peter!
Peter flew back down.
Peter: Do what!
Wendy: You were just sitting here crying and now you're all happy with glee. I find that fascinating.
Peter: Crying! Peter Pan doesn't cry!
Wendy: Oh, yes he does. I believe that was the second or third time I've seen you cry.
Peter stepped near her.
Peter: Whatever Wendy!
As he grabbed her hand he whispered something in her ear.
Peter: Just don't tell the others. It will ruin my reputation.
Wendy laughed as they flew back towards the camp so she could say goodbye to everyone once again.
IN THE AIR
Peter and Wendy flew in the air heading back towards earth, Tink leading the way. Wendy thought back to all the goodbyes that had happened not long before. They had all been sad to see her go, especially the Lost Boys. But she promised that she would someday come back to visit hopefully soon with her brothers. Then maybe she and Tiger Lilly could sit down and discus girl stuff, since they didn't this time.
Peter interrupted her thoughts.
Peter: Wendy where did you want to go? Back to London or back to that place called America?
Wendy: Probably back to America. My cousin Susan must be sick with worry I could imagine.
Peter nodded as they continued on. Faster and faster they flew until earth finally came into view.
Wendy squealed with delight. Peter just laughed at her as Tink shook her head in annoyance.
Soon they came upon the large buildings and crowded streets of New York. The Statue of Liberty stood there proudly welcoming them back. Peter seemed to remember where her Cousin lived because before she knew it Wendy was looking up at Peter from her bedroom window.
Silence surrounded them for neither of them wanted to say goodbye.
Wendy: So now what are you going to do Peter?
Peter: Well since Hook is gone for good now I will probably go off with Tink and find a new nemesis. It might take away but just think of the adventure!
Wendy smiled as she saw the joy in Peter's eyes.
Wendy: Well Peter, just remember to come visit us once in a while.
Peter: Oh don't worry about that. I'll always remember to come see you.
Wendy: You promise?
Peter: I promise!
Wendy: Good and I promise to never forget you.
Peter smiled and bowed and made his way up into the sky followed by Tink.
Wendy waved from the window.
Wendy: Bye Peter! Goodbye!
We no longer see him, but we here him through an echo.
Peter: Bye Wendy! I'll be back soon...I promise!!!
As Wendy closes the window she hears voices coming near.
She sees her cousin opening the door of her room
Susan: I know I heard something...maybe it's... WENDY!!!
They rush towards each other in a large hug, both crying in joy.
Susan: Oh Wendy your back! I have been so worried.
Wendy: It's alright now; I'm back and staying for hopefully a long visit.
Susan smiled as Marie came cheerfully into the room carrying a cup of tea for Wendy.
Marie: Wendy, welcome back.
Wendy sat down and took the cup of tea into her hands.
Wendy: Thank you Marie! It's good to be back.
They sat down and began talking.
Susan: Once I found out you were missing, I wanted to get the police but Marie told me not to. She told me you were probably with Peter and that you would be back soon.
Marie: And I was right about what I said wasn't I. Here she is back home and perfectly safe.
Marie smiled proud of herself for knowing.
Susan: I see that you were right, but how did you know?
She turned to Wendy.
Susan: And Wendy where have you been and where is that young man now? And what happened to you clothes? They are so dirty and torn.
Wendy looked down at her messy clothing and looked back up towards Marie.
Their eyes met and they both smiled.
Wendy: Susan it's a very long story!
THE NEXT DAY
Wendy slept in late the next morning dreaming of her past adventure. When she awoke she quickly bathed, dressed, and went down to eat breakfast with Susan. As they ate they talked.
Wendy: Susan, I think I would like to take a trip around all of New York and sight see for I haven't seen very much of this wonderful city.
Susan: Are you sure that's what you want to do? Shouldn't you rest a bit more from your grand adventure you told me about before you go all about town.
Wendy saw Susan roll her eyes and she just shook her head at it. She had told Susan all about Peter Pan and the adventures in Neverland but she seemed like she still didn't believe her. Oh well let her believe what she wants to believe Wendy thought as she took a sip of her tea.
But then Peter's past words hit her like a bomb..."they forgot about me. They lost their belief."
Wendy stood up so quickly making Susan jump in surprise.
Wendy: NO, I must help them believe!!
Susan just stared at her.
Susan: Wendy dear, help who?
But they were interrupted by a knock at the door.
Susan stood up to answer it, followed by Wendy.
Susan: Now who could that be this early?
She opened the door and their stood Mr. Williams.
Mr. Williams: I'm sorry to disturb you this early, but Marie has told me that Miss. Darling has finally returned and I just wanted to see for myself.
Susan: Why yes, please come in!
As he walked in Wendy came near.
Wendy: Mr. Williams, what a surprise!
Mr. Williams: My dear, how are you?
Wendy: I'm well Mr. Williams, I'm just glad to be home.
Mr. Williams: I'm glad to see that, but if you don't mind may I ask where did you disappear too all this time?
Wendy smiled for she would have to tell the whole story about her adventures once more.
Why don't we go into the sitting room where I could tell you everything over a cup of tea?
Mr. Williams: That sounds just fine!
Susan shook her head as she led the way towards the sitting room, but was once again stopped from another knock at the door.
This time Wendy went up to answer it.
As she opened door she stared in shock. There stood the man who had replaced Adam in her once recent dreams. Their eyes met...then Mr. Williams came up behind Wendy.
Mystery man: I'm sorry I'm late, but I had to pay for the carriage ride over here.
Mr. Williams: That's all right my boy! Just come and...Oh I'm sorry I have forgotten that you two haven't yet met. Miss. Wendy I would like you to meet...
