A/N: I'm sorry about the spacing in the first chapter, fanfic.net was being
a meanie, and I hope the second chapter came out better for all of you
loffly readers and even more loffly reviewers! This chapter wouldn't be
possible without my SB who is the best beta in the world! I'm really
sorry... but since I had this really great plan for the whole explanation
thing, I'm afraid that I wasn't able to write it into this chapter as it
would take too long, but it will definitely come next chapter. You have my
word on that one. I just wanted to make everyone happy with an update. I
hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 3: The Fairy
Peter and Wendy walked through the dense forests of Neverland; each with a ripe Never-mango in hand. Peter was showing Wendy around some parts of the island, just in case she had forgotten them. She could now reacquaint herself with its lay out. Wendy recognized all of the sites Peter showed her and pieced them together to form a mental map.
Peter took a bite of his mango; Wendy watched intently as rivulets of the fruit's juices journeyed agonizingly slow down his chin. "And this," Peter started, "would be the fairy tree. I brought you here before; do you remember?" Wendy remained silent, her musings focused on the trails of mango juice running down along Peter's jaw.
Peter turned to her, "Wendy?" he tried. She still didn't answer. "Wendy?" he tried again as he took her shoulders and lightly shook her. She snapped out of her reverie and replied with the best she could think of: "Hmmm, what was that Peter?"
"I said, 'this is the fairy tree'; I brought you here before. Do you remember?"
"Oh, of course I remember. How could I forget?"
"Well, you just had this far away look... I thought that maybe you had forgotten."
Wendy giggled at Peter's assumption. "No Peter, it wasn't that. You just have some juice on your chin; that's all."
"Oh..." Peter said as he moved his hand up to wipe the sticky juices off of his face. However, his attempts were fruitless as the juices only smeared up and onto his cheek.
Half of Wendy's mouth curled upward into a smile as she noticed what he had done. "Here, let me get that for you." She told Peter as she motioned to lick her thumb.
Peter watched Wendy slowly as she lifted her thumb to her mouth, her tongue slowly and gently licking the slender finger. Her hand extended to his jaw as she tenderly swept away the smeared mango juice. Peter observed her admiringly as she cleansed his face with her thumb.
Wendy stepped back an inch, apparently finished cleaning Peter's face. "That's better now."
Peter's eyes were transfixed on Wendy's frosty blue ones as he breathed out, "Thank you."
Wendy raised her eyes to meet Peter's gaze; his mystical orbs of deep blue- green easily hypnotizing her. Her knees weakened as she stared into his soul, finding a mix of many emotions; there was caring, hope, longing, desire, compassion and... love. 'But if only he could understand his emotions...' Wendy thought, still very much absorbed in his sea-colored eyes.
Peter slowly tilted his head down toward Wendy as if to kiss her. Wendy took in a breath as she closed her eyes, anxiously waiting for his lips to meet hers. Peter slowly wrapped his arms around her as he closed the gap between them with one fluid motion.
Wendy sighed as his lips finally settled onto hers in a warm and affectionate manner. She brought her arms up to rest upon his broad shoulders. The pair was content entangled in a passionate embrace. They saw only each other. The rest of the world was a pastel blur, a mere background, to the sharpness of each other's faces.
Wendy dropped her mango, too absorbed to realize its absence from her hand. At that moment, she had better things to hold, such as Peter's golden locks of hair.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The fairy known as Twinkletoes glanced up at the couple suspended in air, kissing each other in such an endearing way. As she looked closer, she noticed that the girl had an orange-colored fruit in her hand that now appeared to be coming closer to her... and fast. Twinkletoes barely missed being hit by the falling fruit; she spun around quickly to find it hitting the ground with a squashy sound.
Twinkletoes wrinkled her nose at the smashed fruit and turned her attention back to the couple still holding each other in mid-air.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Peter and Wendy were still kissing tenderly; absorbed in each other. The moment was ruined for them however when they started to be poked, prodded and tugged at. Wendy pulled her mouth away from Peter's and tried to find the source of the unwelcome interruption. She found none other than the fairy Twinkletoes flying around hers and Peter's head.
Peter noticed this too as he agitatedly replied to her insistent pokes and prods, "Hello Twinkletoes..."
"Why, hello Peter." She responded and then turned her attention to Wendy, "You dropped your fruit... it almost hit me you know."
"I'm ever so sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I didn't know you were there." Wendy apologized sincerely.
"Oh, and in case you two haven't noticed yet, you've been floating around together like that for awhile now." Twinkletoes declared.
Wendy looked down as she suddenly realized that the fairy was indeed correct, but just how long had she and Peter been up in the air?
"Were you watching us?" Peter asked Twinkletoes in a frustrated tone.
"Of course I wasn't watching you, I only found you here and waited so I could talk to you; it only took longer than I expected..."
"Well then, you got my attention. What do you want?" Peter asked the annoying little fairy.
"Oh nothing, never mind."
Peter groaned inwardly, "Fine then. Wendy, let's go back home."
Wendy nodded her head and took her arms off of Peter's shoulders as he in turn took his arms away from Wendy's waist and grabbed her hand. Before Wendy had turned around to fly back home with Peter, Twinkletoes whispered in Wendy's ear, "Meet me here by the tree at dark... it's very important, it's about Peter."
Wendy didn't have any time to respond to the fairy because she was already being pulled off to the underground home by Peter.
