Author's Note: Yay! I got reviews! You all made me so happy, so I decided to go ahead and update. After this, I probably won't be able to update for like another few weeks, sorry! But thank you guys so much for the reviews, you inspired me!
And to those who don't know, Aunt Millicent's first name is Millicent. Thanks to Caspia, Mike, and Gecko149 for letting me know!
Chapter 1: Full of Inconvenience and Pimples
I began to panic. WhatIS this? Don't tell me there was some sort of bug in Neverland that Peter never told me about. Just at that moment, Mother hurried into the room.
"What happened?" she asked worriedly. I pointed to the red bump on my face. She kneeled in front of me, then gently rested her index finger on it and pushed slightly. I squealed, then looked at her with a pained expression.
"Why did you do that?"
She laughed, "I was just checking to see how much it hurt. Sorry, dear."
I pouted, but giggled, "So it's just a bug bite, right?"
"Actually, it's called a pimple, darling."
"A pimple?" I said, puzzled, "What's a pimple?"
"It's that little red spot on your forehead that's caused by not washing your face enough," she explained. "As you grow, Wendy, your skin will become oily, and if you don't wash up, more of those little spot will pop up."
I gulped. "So it can appear anywhere?"
"Yes. But not to worry, love. You will learn how to properly take care yourself with Aunt Millicent's help," she said with a comforting smile. I felt no warmth in her words, but smiled and nodded, hiding my pain. She stood up and turned to leave, but then she turned back and looked at me saying, "But whatever you do, don't scratch it off. It hurts horribly, plus it leaves a scar."
"Alright, Mother."
Just at that moment, I spotted Mother's kiss once again, winking at me from the right hand corner. As soon as her face disappeared, I turned back to the mirror, staring at the pimple in horror. Already, I'm becoming a woman. I sighed, then began dressing myself slowly.
I looked around once more, admiring the beauty of this room. The stylish red and orange diamond wallpaper gave the room a warm glow, including the lighting of candles. The bowl to wash up with, made of marble, remained clean as if they've never been used. And of course, the bathtub with paw shaped, golden legs and golden, sparkling knobs made the room look fit for royalty.
I finished dressing, then rinsed my mouth and made my way to the nursery(A/N: Did they even brush their teeth back then?!), but along the way, I heard the adults talking in Aunt Millicent's room. I slowly kneeled down in the same position I did the night before I went to Neverland, listening to their words.
"Millicent, is that really necessary for Wendy? And at this age?" I heard Mother say.
"Indeed, Mary. The girl needs to be cared for! You don't want her ending up running around all over the place acting and thinking like a child, do you?"
"Yes, but-"
"Oh, come now, Mary! It's not all that bad, really! We just need to FIND a boy, not marry her to one."
My mouth opened in shock and rage. They want me to have a BOY to take care of me?!
"Do you have anything to say, George?" I heard Mother ask.
"Well....I-I-I...," he stuttered.
"Not to worry, George, we shall begin the search next week!" Aunt Millicent said with joy. "But during this week, I shall spend much time with Wendy. You both understand the schedule, right?"
"Yes," I could barely hear Mother whisper.
I couldn't listen anymore, I had to get away. I quietly went off into the nursery, John and Michael already fast asleep. I walked up to the window, looking through the many colors. It was still snowing, and as I watched each snowflake drop, I wondered...What is to become of me? What are they going to do to me tomorrow? What about that boy? Why now, when I just got back from such a wonderful adventure? Frightening, yes... But so magical. And Peter...Peter...
I realized that sleep was already casting her spell over my eyelids, so I turned away from the window and walked to my bed. I lifted the covers, laid my head on my pillow, then rested my mind and floated away from all this growing up business.
A/N: I know, that one was really really short, and I'm really really sorry!! It's already past midnight and it's the first day of school tomorrow (after winter break. Joy). So please review, and hopefully I'll be able to post up the next chapter as soon as I can!
