Meg aka dramaqueen
Meg moaned as she turned over onto her back. Hearing a resounding thwack, she rubbed her eyes and opened them to see a face of a boy looking down at her, although her focus was not the best in the pitch-black dark of the room. Assuming it was a dream, she just smiled. He returned the smile, reaching down and grasping the edge of the sheet, letting it fall over her cheek.
She felt the contact. This was real.
She sat up and he seemed to fling himself across the room. "Holy crap!"
He was silent, clinging to the ceiling by the spinning fan in almost a crab or spider-like fashion.
Although in severe shock, Meg's eyes scanned him over, adjusted to the darkness by now. He was certainly gorgeous- there was no doubt about that. He was quite tan, his bright turquoise eyes sparkling with genuine happiness, though his face looked fearful. His hair was honey brown with sun-kissed highlights and he was clad in pants made of… were those leaves? He had a leaf strap around his neck from his pants as well and a belt around his waist that held a dagger sheath on his left hip and panpipes on his right.
"Who the hell are you?" Meg asked, wanting it to sound like a demand but not succeeding- she sounded quite fearful herself.
He slowly floated down to the floor, his hands on his hips, bowing ever so slightly. He was about to reply to her before two voices stopped him.
"Meg, what's going on?" mumbled Kim, running her palms up and down her cheeks and then running her fingers through her hair.
"What are you yelling about, Megs?" Mari whined, sitting up.
"Turn on the light, Kim," Meghan ordered softly.
Kim groped for the switch and light seemed to flash to the lamp. Concurrently their eyes met the boy and they both gasped.
"I didn't mean to startle you, girl," he said, indicating Meghan, more of a statement that an actual apology.
"Who are you?" Kim whispered.
"Peter Pan."
Mari's mouth hung agape. All of them were so shocked that they would not have spoken, except that Peter looked at them curiously and made inferring motions with his hands.
"I'm Kim."
"Name's Meghan."
Mari's jaw still hung open. Kim smirked. "And this is Mari."
"What are you doing here?" Meg asked quietly.
"I came to listen to your stories," he replied honestly.
"My stories?" Meg asked, her hand against her chest.
"I listen to them all the time, outside the window. I love the stories you tell your brothers."
"But they're all about you."
"That's why I like them." Peter said with a cocky smile. "Why are there more of you?" he asked, his head tilting to one side.
"These are my two best friends. They're just sleeping over, and that one next to Annie is sleeping over too."
"Why?" he questioned casually.
"Well, because Mari is moving away tomorrow," Kim completed.
"Why?" he repeated, holding onto the metal posts at the end of Meghan and Annie's beds, swinging back and forth in the air between them.
"Because she has to grow up."
Peter's cobalt eyes widened and he backed away, a frightened and perplexed look on his face. "Grow up?" He shouted it as if the notion itself were mere ludicrous.
"She has to go to California for high school."
Annie stirred, her eyes still closed. "Meghan, shut up."
Megan moaned and turned over. "I didn't say anything."
"Not you- I meant my sister." Annie blinked her eyes open for a moment, only catching a brief glimpse of Peter.
Megan groaned her understanding and turned over again.
Annie's eyes suddenly flashed open. "Holy crap!"
Megan shot up. "What?"
Annie pointed in Peter's direction and Megan's chin fell.
Peter looked at them with interest. "Who are you?"
"A-Annie."
"I'm Megan."
"But I thought that she was Meghan," Peter said, pointing at the direction of the other three.
"I'm Megan too."
"Wait, I'm confused."
"Just call me Meg, Peter," Meghan supplied.
"Okay, Meg-Peter."
Meghan shook her head. "No, Peter, Meg."
"Peter-Meg?"
Meghan smacked her palm against her forehead. "Just Meg."
"Just Meg." Peter tilted his head to the left, confused.
"Meg."
Peter let out a frustrated sigh from between his tight lips. "Whatever."
"What are you doing here?" Annie began.
"We've been through this already, Ann," Meg said.
Peter shook his head at Mari. "You can't grow up."
Mari, whose mouth had shut by now, said, "I have to."
"No you don't. Come away with me."
Kim, Mari, Meg, Annie, and Megan said concurrently, "What?"
He hopped up on the edge of Meg's bed and sat at the trio's feet. "Fly away with me- we can go to Neverland and never return. We can go to a place where adult cares don't exist, somewhere where you will never grow up. Let's go." And with that, Peter jumped up and flew around the room, banking over Sarah's crib and doing loops over Nick and Dan's beds.
"We can't fly."
Realization seemed to hit Peter like a brick and his feet hit the floor. "Tink."
Megan looked perplexed. "What?"
But Peter didn't respond- he was searching the drawers of the bureaus frantically for something that wasn't there.
"Peter, what are you doing?" Meg asked, coming up behind him.
"Tink. I need to find Tink."
Meg understood. "Tinker Bell?"
Megan still was bewildered. "What are you two talking about?"
Meg had gone to looking in the drawers of the bureau by the window. "Tinker Bell- Peter's fairy."
Kim laughed. "But there's no such thin-"
Mari clamped her hand over Kim's mouth. Peter screamed, "Don't say that!" He slowly backed went back to his search.
Kim stared wide-eyed at Mari who had gotten up and begun to help. "Every time someone says that, a fairy somewhere falls down dead."
Kim's eyes widened all the more, not seeming to believe that some storybook fantasy could be real. "Sorry, Peter," she murmured.
Peter smiled ecstatically as he looked to the lamp Kim actually hadn't turned on. "Gotcha!" He wrestled a glittering ball of light for a moment before he captured it in his fist. Then he flew next to Kim and brought his fist close to her nose, pointing at the being in his hand.
Kim looked at it dubiously, but she clearly saw it. There was a small woman in his hand. She was blonde with a magical face and was clad in an immodest dress made of small leaves. She had glowing wings sprouting out of her back, large pointed ears, and every time a muscle in her body moved, glitter seemed to emanate from her body, but from where could not be seen.
Peter brought her closer to Kim's nose. "See? F-A-I-R-Y. FAIR-EE."
"Okay, okay, okay." Kim put her hands up in defense. Tinker Bell flew out of Peter's hand, stuck her tongue out, and shook her ass in Kim's face. "She certainly is friendly," Kim mumbled sarcastically.
Then Peter grabbed Tinker Bell back, jumped off the center of the bed, and sprinkled the dust from her body over the five of them. Mari, Meg, Megan, and Annie shut their eyes and then slowly began floating towards the ceiling.
"What now?" asked Kim.
"Happy thoughts- think happy thoughts," replied Peter as he shot over towards Meg.
Kim gritted her teeth and thought- and then it came to her. The Christmas she got her cat- shehad beenso happy she couldn't… she was already off the floor!
Peter grabbed Meghan by the shoulders. "Come away with me," he whispered against her neck.
"We don't know how to get there," she supplied.
Peter slowly turned her around and pointed out to a bright star, not removing his eyes from her. "Second to the right, and then straight on 'til morning."
Meghan flew to the floor and stood between her brothers' beds. "Can Nick and Dan come too?"
Annie giggled. "Why would you want them to?"
"So they won't rat us out," Meghan replied with a wink.
Annie needed no more encouragement. "Please, Peter, can they come?"
Peter gave a soft, assuring smile.
Tinker Bell flew to the top of the bed frame and jingled, "Silly ass."
Meghan gently shook them awake. "Dan, Nick, wake up!"
"But Mom, the fluffy pony ate the lollipops!" Dan yelled as he shot upright.
Nick rubbed his eyes, stretched, and stood on his bed. "What is it?" Then he looked up to the ceiling. "Peter!" Dan instantly followed his brother's gaze and saw the boy who conquered their stories.
"Come," Peter murmured. "We must go while dawn is still nigh."
Nick looked regretfully at Sarah's crib. "What about Sarah?"
"She is too young, Nick," Annie said quickly.
"It's too dangerous with one so little," Meghan added.
Peter then added something unexpected to the silence. "Why not?"
Meghan flew over to the crib and removed the sleeping baby. Sarah slowly awoke and looked over to Peter who flew towards her, smiling. "Tick tick tick," she growled, inserting a snap of her jaw in between.
"I like this one," Peter chuckled, ruffling the fair curls on her small head.
Meghan, loosing her balance in the air, nearly dropped her, but gripped her suspenders, which acted like a baby basket.
"Fly. Wanna fly," Sarah gurgled.
Peter ruffled her hair again. "You want to fly? Let's fly!" He grabbed Tinker Bell from over his shoulder and shook her over Sarah and the boys. The baby laughed, clapping her hands as she floated up to the ceiling.
Dan and Nick flew over their beds. "Look, Meghan! We're flying!"
Peter at once motioned for them to be silent. Annie clamped a hand over Sarah's cooing mouth and everyone save Peter, overcome with nervousness, fell to the ground.
Whispers of their mother, in the room across the hall, met their ears. "Al, did you hear that?"
Al coughed, moaning, "I'll go look."
"I'll come with you."
Peter looked at Meghan urgently. "Let's go."
Dan and Nick, needing no further encouragement, concentrated and flew out into the crisp night air. Annie smiled back at Megan and they tailed the boys. Kim looked at Mari and Meghan with a sly smile before kicking up hard from the floor and letting herself be carried by the wind. Mari looked on in awe, those amazing thoughts causing her to rise and go out the window. Peter, standing at the pane, as if ushering them out, gave Meghan a playful smile.
Meghan looked at Sarah, then back at her room, and hearing her parents advance and jiggle the doorknob caused her to fall. Peter grabbed her around the waist, helping her up, and they were off to Neverland.
