Chapter 2: The Lonely Wish

It seemed on the night where the young hooded boy saw Wendy with another that all the stars seemed dull, barely any life lighting them. The darkness of Neverland had an eerie fog that swarmed of loneliness.

Deep in the heart of Neverland was the Underground home of the cocky boy, Peter Pan. The hooded figure slid down a secret tunnel of the Underground and had a landing bit struggled which was uncommon. Usual the boy landed with such effortless grace, but not on this night. Something troubled Peter.

Peter Pan flung his hooded coat off and gazed around the room. The home underground was covered with toys, pots, and pans. There was a fireplace and a huge long table and an enormous bed on the other side. A hammock lay just next to the comforting bed. Everything looked quite so charming at first glance.

But at a second glance one could see that no one had touched the toys, the pots, and pans for quite sometime. The enormous comfortable bed only showed an indention of one person having slept in it, signs of tossing and turning of worries countless nights.

Peter easily saw this and flew himself on the bed and started to cry. He could feel the loneliness drowning him, suffocating him into depression. He turned over, making his feeling of loneliness even worse and them when he saw how empty the bed was, his pain grew deeper. He curled up in a tight little ball crying all alone by himself. There was no laughter, no lost boys, no Wendy. And with no Wendy, there was no kisses, no heart.

Tink, the loyal fairy, still accompanied Peter on adventures but off somewhere on a fake mission to get of Peter's hair. Not even she could fill the void that grew every night within Peter. His sad thoughts that were once locked up tight burst fourth, submerging.

"Why now did I comeback to see you Wendy!" Peter cried. "So I could torment myself to see you grown!"

Of course there was no response. Only the sound of the shallow fire burning in the fireplace could be heard. Not even the warmth of the fire could stop Peter from feeling so cold.

You see, Peter Pan returned to London to see Wendy who was now 17 years old, but not quite an adult yet. So Peter, without knowing it came back for her hoping that he still had a chance to whisk her away again. Was it a coincidence that he had returned to the year that Wendy would spend her last youth before she was to turn into a woman?

But there was a dilemma.

Peter was still a little boy and hadn't grown up. But his fair Wendy had, almost breaking adulthood.

Peter said out loud to the empty room, "Why did she choose to grow up. I saw her! She is taller then me, and from the distance, even more so pretty. I surely cannot win her over like this. Why!"

He stood up from his bed and with all his efforts, flew out of the Underground flying to the place that would ultimately change him forever. Peter flew past the overgrown trees, past the mermaids' lagoon where the mermaids hissed, beckoning for Peter to join them in their darkness, past the abandon Jolly Roger ship, past the Indian tribes, and finally he had reached his destination.

Peter stopped out of breath for he hadn't rested during his trip. He was still in the forest but all of a sudden dozens of bright small lights drifted out of the large trees that surrounded the opening of where Peter stood. The lights were actually fairies; they had such lovely figures, small and elegant, and bestowed with the gift of magic. Magic that could do such wonders that the imagination could never comprehend could be all so possible.

Two fairies drifted apart from the others toward Peter. Peter saw immediately who they were, both having crowns placed on their heads adorned with fine jewels and royal attire. It was no doubt the King and Queen of the fairies.

"You have come for something," said the King who was now eye level of Peter. "What you come here for we will grant, for you have saved us and our family countless times."

Peter bowed handsomely to them, his face streaked with tears. "I, I wish to grow up," blurted out Peter.

"There is only so much we can do," replied the Queen bowing back and same with the King, both having great respect for Peter. She observed the young youth and did not want to let him go. All the female creatures in Neverland adored Peter, he was their hero.

"Please," pleaded Peter. He was so tired of being lonely and going through the same adventures. He forgot may things and people, but he could never ever forget Wendy.

"Be careful what you wish for," warned the Queen.

"This is what I wish. I cannot bare the pain any longer. Please," demanded Peter.

"Alright young lad. We the fairies will grant you your wish, granting you the power to age 4 years forward, you will be older and different," told the King. The fairies knew exactly why Peter wished for this.

"But," added the Queen, "If you have second thoughts, or all else fails, you can come back to Neverland and live forever before your eighteenth birthday. Remember that Peter, you can still live forever, to be able to keep your immortality. Then again, if you do not return to Neverland before then, you will grow old and die, either with her or alone."

The Queen held nothing back from Peter. He stopped to think if the decision was wise. Could he make Wendy his again, he was fearfully unsure, especially seeing the confident looking boy Wendy was with. He would lose his youth.

Peter now nervously had his hands in his pockets and was about to change his mind until he felt the thimble in his pocket. It struck a chord with him, remembering the kiss.

As for another sign for Peter to take the plunge, the king stated, "Follow your heart."

Peter looked up more determined then ever, "Yes. I'm sure."

The Queen was disappointed, but not the King. They flew back on the whirling bright lights of fairies and surrounded Peter, covering him up in their fairy dust. Peter glowed in the moonlight lifting into the night sky. It was such a magical sight for eyes to behold. Deep ancient powers worked their magic on the youthful boy who had now slipped into a deep slumber from the fairy dust. The fog became thicker and the mermaids hissed so loudly in unity. The wind blew fierce and crazy and the tides rose high.

Finally everything settled down in Neverland and went back to is normal business.

The fog was lifted strangely so quickly and Peter was taken back near the home underground.

Peter Pan would wake up to the shock of his life, facing the biggest adventure of them all. He had changed…
