Everything was suddenly blown away and to them, all their was each other!. "Peter?" she whispered back, he nodded and his lips spread into a smile. "We meet again Wendy Lady" he whispered back. Wendy giggled.
"Darling...Pay attention!" whispered Braden, pulling Wendy's attention back to himself. Wendy turned to watch the screen but that didn't stop them.
Again, the whole theatre went dark, and Peter became uneasy, as he couldn't see Wendy anymore. But suddenly the room was filled with a soft greenish glow from the movie screen as the title suddenly appeared.
"The movie is starting!" Peter whispered to Laura, instantly she shot up and watched, unfortunately for Peter, she didn't release her grip on his hand. Sighing, he slowly turned to Wendy.
Her face glowed with the colour that came from the screen, and changed colours as the scenery of the movie changed. She looked pretty into the movie, but suddenly her gaze turned to meet his.
A smile formed on her lips as their eyes met, her cheeks became hotter as they never broke eye contact. Sending her a smile, Peter lowered his gaze to his hand, Wendy was saddened at this, and turned back to watch the movie.
But suddenly she felt something suddenly slip into her hand. A little confused, she looked down to find that it was Peter's hand clasped to hers, their fingers intertwined.
A huge smile came to her lips and she turned to Peter, who had returned her gaze and smile ."Mr. Keating" she suddenly heard,
and felt Peter's grip tighten on hers. Laura leaned forwards for some popcorn.
She then noticed that Peter was not alone, she saw the figure of another girl beside him, and to her utter shock, watching carefully as she let go of Peter's other hand as she reached for the popcorn, then returning her head to Peter's shoulder. Even more to her shock, he was with Laura Winston, the meanest, snobbiest richest girl in school.
Angrily, Wendy ripped her hand away from Peter's, and crossed her arms so he couldn't try it again!. At this, Peter looked upset, and he turned to his other side, suddenly knowing the reason.
Wendy had noticed he was with another girl, and was upsetting to her. He noticed she replaced her head on his shoulder, which really irritated Peter. Laura was ruining everything!.
Peter tried to watch the movie, but it was no use, he couldn't enjoy himself knowing that Wendy was angry with him, and sitting right beside him!. He turned his gaze to her once more and was shocked.
Braden had placed his arm around Wendy and had pulled her close. Anger and jealousy burned Peter now!. But it seemed like she was enjoying it, mostly.
Peter turned back angrily. He supposed that was his punishment for what Wendy found out!. It still pained him to have Braden so close to Wendy!. As if Braden had sensed Wendy's distress and went to comfort her where Peter couldn't!. He turned away sadly.
It was about an hour later when Peter decided to check up on Wendy. She was now resting her head on Braden's shoulder, much like what she would do to him!. And from where he sat, it looked like she was sleeping.
As if this didn't hurt him enough, there was a playful smirk on Braden's lips, as he ran his fingers through Wendy's hair. Peter's heart was breaking and fast!. He had to stop this. But how?.
"Braden...I'm a bit thirsty! I'm going to get something to drink" came Wendy's voice. Braden nodded and Peter was a little more relieved as he watched her walk through the row of people and head out the door.
Peter bit his lip. Would the same work for Laura?. He had to sort things out with Wendy, he had to try!. "Laura..."he started, her head suddenly raised to meet his gaze. "Yes...?"she said sleepily.
What excuse could he use?. He couldn't possibly use Wendy's, Braden was still pretty close. "I'm...a bit hungry! I'm going to get a snack" said Peter, and before she could answer, he got up and walked down the row.
"Alright...bring me back something!" she whispered back to him, but in the dark, he was already running up the isle to the door. Once there, he burst into the lobby and light suddenly flooded his vision.
He found the wall, and stood by it, waiting for his eyes to adjust. He had to find Wendy!. Once his vision cleared, he was off to the counter where they served you food and drinks. He was sure to find her there!.
He started to walk and once he rounded the first corner, he stopped suddenly for there she was up against the wall looking quite upset.
He began to walk towards her slowly. As he neared, he could hear little sniffles.
"Wendy?" he said softly as he stopped before her. Her gaze suddenly shot to his and her eyes were widened in fright. "Peter..."she whispered. There was silence until.
"How could you have brought Laura Winston here Peter?. I hate her! Every girl hates her...she's a horrible!" said Wendy and she turned her back to him. Peter lowered his gaze again, thinking of what to say.
"I know...it wasn't my idea to court her! It was my mother's! .She told me that..."he started to explain but she suddenly cut him off. "Your mother?" she asked, she knew he came to London but didn't know he had found a family.
"Yes...I'm the son of Mr. and Mrs. Keating" said Peter softly. Wendy's eyes widened. "The Keating's son? .They are one of the wealthiest families in London!" Wendy gasped.
"Yes. your neighbours across the street!" said Peter, trying to be a bit more cheery, but Wendy wasn't catching it ."How could you have gotten adopted by Mr. Keating?" said Wendy.
"What do you mean?" asked Peter curious as to what she's getting at. "Harry Keating is a big business man who likes riches!" said Wendy. "Which would probably be why they set me up with wealthy girls" said Peter.
"But. How...?"asked Wendy softly, her eyes narrowing onto him in curiosity. "Obviously I'm like their long lost son cause when I woke up they told me who I was and that we're a family again" said Peter, a small smile curving his lips.
Wendy stared at him in disbelief but that's when she remembered.
"Don't blame your mother for all of this...you've been seeing Laura Winston behind my back all this time!. How could you?" she snapped suddenly, her eyes getting misty.
"No Wendy!. I don't love her...I hate her just like you!" said Peter, placing a hand on her shoulder, she just shoved it off. They stood there in silence.
"Don't use that as your excuse!" Wendy suddenly shouted. "I couldn't image why you wouldn't want to court her" said softly. "She's so pretty and rich!. Everybody wants to be her friend!" said Wendy, her eyes clouding with more tears.
"Wendy..."he started, placing his hands on her shoulder and turning her to face him. " How can you say that?" Peter suddenly snapped back. "I've seen plenty of beautiful things in my life, and she defiantly isn't one of them" Peter said a bit gladly. "All of her riches can't compare to Neverland!….and you have friends?. The boys?" Peter questioned.
At this Wendy smiled, but it quivered. She lowered her head before saying. "Boys aren't allowed on our school grounds...but yes I have friends!. But she..."Wendy stopped. Raising her gaze to him. "She puts everyone thought torture!" said Wendy angrily.
"Her and her bratty friends".
"Torture? How?" asked Peter, anger starting to build up. "She makes fun of us...and punches us and gets us into trouble!" said Wendy, starting to cry. "But why did you have to start with her?. After leaving me, us for three years!. We have a great time, and then see you here with her!" Wendy bellowed again.
"I'm not Wendy!. My mother told me I had to!. I didn't want to cause I knew you hated her!. Courting her would be like betraying you Wendy!. I'd rather run myself through then betray my Wendy!" said Peter, cracking a smile.
Wendy lowered her gaze once more. "Wendy!. Please trust me" started Peter, lifting her head until their eyes met. "I don't love Laura!. And we'll be together again!" he said and then stopped.
"If you don't love Braden" said Peter, his voice low and angered, his head lowered. "No Peter!" she said suddenly. Peter turned his gaze to her again, waiting. She lowered her own gaze before saying.
"If you don't love Laura..."said Wendy, then their eyes met. "You would have come back to me a lot sooner after that night at the ball. If we do have the same kiss mark, we could have found out much earlier. But no!. You had to start flirting with every single girl around in your new life!. Typical of all boys I guess. I just hoped you would be different." She said sadly, starting to walk away.
" But Wendy, I just told you I…" Peter began, but was stopped by Wendy's piercing gaze ran back to him. "I know what you said. But the fact that you're here with Laura and didn't come back to find me after the ball, is proof enough for me that…." She stopped to suddenly let tears start to fall down her cheek. "That we've both changed and that we've moved on!" Wendy said as more tears fell from her already clouded eyes. Her heart jerked as she said the last few words.
It hurt so much that she turned away quickly, her cheeks now stained with fresh tears as she no entered the theatre. Peter was left standing there in his own grief and sadness, his eyes brimmed with tears too, but he breathed in deeply, his heart still pounding, and entered the theatre too.
The movie ended a while after, both couples were quiet. For Peter
and Wendy thought about how they had suddenly noticed the change that came naturally over the past three years, and how it seemed as if their experiences with romance and true love in Neverland had been just some wonderful dream. They walked out of the theatre, that's when they finally spoke.
"Mr. Keating...you were usually quiet the rest of the movie" said Laura. Peter turned to look at Wendy, where she didn't return his.
"I'm...just a but sleepy!" he lied, he was thinking about Wendy the whole time!.
"Shall I walk you to the doorstep my love?" he heard Braden say.
Before answering, Wendy turned to look at Peter, who was now behind her, and their eyes met.
His were a cold blue, shining with the remainder of his tears, his gaze seemed to beg her for something." Yes..."she said, her eyes still locked to his." Yes you may". She whispered what sounded like a sorry back to Peter before she turned and they both left.
Laura and Peter got into the carriage to go home, and that's when Smee noticed something wrong. Peter's face was pale, and his eyes a darker shade of blue and shiny with tears.
He didn't ask however, best to talk with the boy alone for he knew Peter would never talk while someone else was in their company.
Laura kept quiet for most of the trip.
Although she knew something was up with Peter and tried to comfort him. She would take his hand in hers and rub the back of his hand lovingly, but he would just pull it away roughly and continue to ignore her.
Wendy was almost the same way. She kept her gaze lowered, never spoke and smiled weakly. Her skin became very pale as she thought about what happened with Peter, tears started to brim her eyes.
"What's wrong Wendy dear?" Braden asked, placing his cold hand on her forehead and cheek, sending uneasy shivers down her spine.
"Your pale...and slightly warm! Are you feeling ill?" he asked.
Wendy only nodded her head and remained quiet the rest of the night. They soon arrived at her home shortly after. Braden turned to get out to walk her to the door, but she was already out and almost half way down the walk.
Despite Peter's depression, he walked Laura to her door, and pleasantly said goodnight to both Laura and her mother. Moments later he came back. Still he had that sad look in his usually happy expression.
"What got ye spirits down?. I saw miss Wendy enter the same theatre" said Smee."I saw her" said Peter sadly."...she also saw me with Laura and..."he started. Smee waited.
"She thought I was courting Laura, that I moved on!" said Peter angrily. "Did ye tell her?. Did ye tell her that ye weren't?" asked Smee. "Yes but..."Peter stopped again, this time it was longer.
"...but what?" asked Smee, tired of all the silence. "She didn't believe me!. I tried and tried to explain it but she just wouldn't listen! She thinks I don't love her anymore" said Peter, lowering his head again.
"Well that's not true! Ye have to convince her that..."Smee tried to say but was stopped once more by Peter." I tried!. She still thinks that our past was just some fantasy…It wasn't real to either of us" Peter said sadly." But still she didn't believe me!" said Peter." She will in time Pan! just give her awhile...she'll come through" said Smee.
"This is all Laura and Braden's fault! If Braden want her, and Laura didn't try to hit on me...Wendy and I would be together and happy!" said Peter, now getting angry.
"Now, Don't be blamin' them!. Its only love Peter...people act strangely when they're in love...sometimes there's a bid of a road bump in the way "said Smee, attempting a smile.
"...but true love will always last!. And I know that ye and Wendy are true love...for fate has brought ye together! And nothing can break ye apart!. Just remember all the things ye went through to be together!. This...is just another bump in the road" said Smee.
"Thanks Smee" said Peter, now smiling a bit." If ye have any doubts..."started Smee. "Remember this..."said Smee, pointing to Peter's cheek."Ye kiss mark!" said Smee.
Peter ran his fingers against his cheek where the kiss mark was, and he started to brighten. They soon stopped at Keating Manor, and that's where the two friends said their farewells.
"Try to get some rest Pan!.Ye have school tomorrow!" said Smee.The two shared a laugh."Yeah...I'll try!" said Peter."Remember!.Give Miss Wendy time...true love lasts forever!" said Smee with a wink.
With a smile and a nod the man then drove away. Peter watched him go until suddenly, his gaze turned to the Darling home. With a sigh, Peter went into the house, only to be met by Jones.
"Good evening young master! have a splendid evening with Miss Winston?" asked Jones as he took Peter's coat." Not really Jones...and I don't want to talk about it. Where is mother and father?" asked Peter.
"Master Keating is at a meeting and Mistress Keating is upstairs" said Jones."Goodnight"Peter said with a nod, and went up to his room." Goodnight young master" called Jones.
Once safely inside his room, Peter locked the door and decided to get out of the uncomfortable clothing!. Another reminder of the horrible night!. Once changed into his night clothes, he rested against the window.
To his surprise he saw Wendy leaning against her own window, the wind blowing her hair lightly as her head rested in her arms. She was gazing at the stars and her eyes shined with tears.
Peter watched as those tears started to fall, one by one unto the sill. He sighed and rested against his sill, watching her silently. Until finally, she caught on to his gaze. They stared at each other for a few minutes.
But as two more tears fell from her eyes, Wendy got up from the window and pulled the curtains over. He watched sadly as her silhouette stayed at the window for a moment, before finally walking away!.
Peter sighed angrily this time, and to his even more annoyance small group of fairies came to him. They jiggled." Not tonight" he growled, walking away from the window and onto his bed.
The fairies followed him however and asked what was wrong.
"Wendy and I had a fight ok?.Can you leave me alone?" asked Peter.
The fairies shrieked. They thought the two loved each other?.
They jiggled.
"Yes...yes I still love her!. I'll always love her! Its just..."Peter stopped. The fairies jaggled,urging him to continue." She saw me with another and thought that I loved her instead...and to make it worse it was her worst enemy" said Peter sadly.
The fairies were shocked. One of them nodded a finger at Peter and jiggled madly. "It wasn't my fault!" he yelled." It was just a misunderstanding!" said Peter.
The fairies jiggled again." No...I don't love Laura!. I hate her as much as Wendy does but Wendy wouldn't believe me!. I even told her that Id rather run myself through...but still she didn't believe me" said Peter.
One fairy jiggled evilly." No...don't punish her!.Im going to try and remind her of that!somehow"said Peter. It became rather quiet in that bedroom and the fairies jiggled sadly.
"I don't know how" said Peter, turning his gaze to Wendy's now darkened window." But I'll find a way! This is just another bump in the road" said Peter. The fairies jiggled confusedly.
"Never mind" Peter laughed and with one last gaze at Wendy's window, he fell asleep, but an uneasy sleep, for the events of the night played through into his dreams.
