Sorry for not posting in a while. School sucks. That is all I need to say.

I'll try to post more frequently but no promises.

Before you continue on to read the story though, I got an idea that I want to put in it. I got a review from someone by the name of MysteryGirl. Sorry you're anonymous so I couldn't PM you so I had to post my reply on this. Anyways I got the idea of having people give OC suggestions. They could be for one of the lost boys, mermaids, pirates, Indians, and maybe even a few new monsters roaming around in Neverland. I don't know. But when she said something about OC suggestions I just thought it would be cool if other people put their characters in my story. And it is not going to be who submitted theirs first or who has the best character. I'm going to use all the ones that were submitted unless they are inappropriate or have no way of fitting into my story, but if that's the case, I'll just ask if you can send in another character. They may not have a big part, but they will be in the story.

Also, I'm thinking about changing the summary because it doesn't seem to fit anymore with what is going on. Uh, maybe later. Do you guys care?

Now on with the fiction of a fan.

"Tiana, come here baby," Tiana's mom, Whitney called from Tiana's room. While, Tiana got her daily glass of water right before going to sleep, Whitney was waiting for her on the bed.

"Coming mama," Tiana said from the kitchen. The house was small, so she didn't have to yell that loud. After a couple of seconds, 6 year-old Tiana came jumping on her bed, tackling her mother. They both started giggling, but then Whitney set the little girl properly in her bed.

"Did you do everything you need to do before bed?" Her mom asked with a smile and a gentle voice. Tiana just nodded her head. "Are you sure?" She pressed on.

"Yes mama, I brushed my teeth, I washed my face, I put on my pajamas, and I did it all by myself," Tiana said with a triumphant smile.

"And daddy didn't even need to help you reach your tooth brush?" Whitney said with a pretend surprise tone. Tiana shook her head no.

"I'm a big girl now, I can do anything."

"You can do anything, and you know why that is?"

"Why?"

"Because you are so smart, and beautiful, and sweet, and the most loving person I ever met. I want you to know, sweetie, that in order to be able to do anything you want, you have to always be that way. You must read all the time because it makes you smarter and think differently. You have to treat others how you want to be treated, and you have to always remember to love. "

"That last one is easy. I'm always gonna love you and daddy."

"We know baby, and we are always going to love you, too."

"Thank you, mama," Tiana hugged her mom for a very long time. A minute passed, and they both let go.

"Now, let's read a story. What'll it be today, Tiana?"

"How about…" Tiana began looking through her room adorning all types of books on the walls. Then she saw one that spotted her eye. "Oh, how about Beauty and the Beast?" She asked while getting out of the bed to grab it. She handed it to her mother.

"Sure, we haven't read that one yet," Whitney stated as she looked through the short book. She began to read softly but animatedly. The little girl always loved it when her mom would read to her before bed. It was like the story was happening right in front of her. After ten minutes, Tiana was fast asleep. Whitney closed the book, put it away, and kissed Tiana on the forehead.

Whitney walked outside the door, and Harold was waiting outside of it. "Is she asleep?" he whispered.

"Yep, you can go and kiss her goodnight now," she responded with the same volume.

Harold walked into the tiny room as quietly as possible and gave Tiana a kiss on her forehead as well. He also tightened the covers around her to make her comfortable and warm. "I love you, baby," he told the unaware child. Harold stepped out of the room and walked with his wife to their shared bedroom. They both peacefully went to sleep knowing that daughter was safe and having good dreams, because that is what all parents want for their child.

Tiana got up suddenly having a nightmare. She didn't cry out but she did have a tear run down her cheek. The nightmare was about her being lost and all alone. That is one of her worst fears. No 6-year-old should be left alone even if they are big kids.

She hurried to her parents' bedroom ready to sleep by their side while they soothe her with their loving presence.

"Mama? Daddy?" she whispered while opening up the door as quietly as possible. She walked slowly to the bed, not wanting to disturb her parents. Maybe she could sneak into the bed without them knowing. As soon as she came closer, she saw that her parents weren't in their bed, but the bed looked like it was slept in. The covers were up all messed up but the bed was empty. "Mama? Daddy?" she said again with more urgency. Her first thought was to check their bathroom. They probably both had to really go at the same time. She looked and there was no one in there. Nothing was out of place and the lights were off.

Tiana ran out of the room hoping to find her parents in the kitchen or something. Again, she did not see them or hear of them anywhere. Everything was silent and dark. Tiana didn't like it one bit but she wasn't going to freak out or have a tantrum like a little girl. She was getting too old for that, she thought.

Her last attempt at searching for them would be the garage. Harold and Whitney always told her to never go in the garage because there were too many dangerous things in there and she could hurt herself. Just this one time, Tiana was not going to listen to her parents' warning because she needed to find them.

"Mommy, are you in here? Daddy?" she asked out loud. No one gave her a reply, but she did see that the car was in the garage. At least she knew that they have to be somewhere nearby. She didn't want to give up looking for them. "Are you guys playing hide-and-seek?" she questioned, finally realizing what her parents were up to. They would always play hide-and-seek whenever they felt like it but never during the night. "I'm gonna find you," the little girl said with excitement and a smile on her face. Now she knew why she couldn't find them. Tiana looked through the house for a while.

"Man, you guys are good." She didn't realize how long it was taking her to find them. The sun was starting to come up and her mom and dad were nowhere to be found. "I'm tired of playing this game, can you guys come out now?" The small child began to get frustrated and just decided to go back to her room. "They'll be out of their hiding spots when I wake up," she told herself.

A few hours passed and Tiana got up quickly knowing she was going to find her parents in the kitchen cooking some delicious breakfast. "Mama, daddy, you guys were hidi-," she stopped what she was saying when she saw no one was in the kitchen. Tiana was scared again. Her parents were always up before her making breakfast. She ran to the room of her parents and opened up the door with as much force as a little 6-year-old girl could muster and it slammed against the wall. The bed looked exactly the same as when she last left it.

This time she couldn't hold back her tears. "Where are you guys? I don't like this game anymore. Please just come out." The little girl was just on the floor bawling her eyes out. She knew her parents would come any minute because they wouldn't want their little baby crying. They didn't come. "Mama! Daddy! Mama! Daddy!" She just kept yelling out for them and no answer came back. No footsteps could be heard. There was just silence and a little girl sobbing and calling out for her parents in their bedroom.

"Mama. Daddy. Mama. Daddy. Mama…" Tiana was mumbling in her sleep. By that time, Peter had flown in threw the window. He could hear her calling for her parents and she looked like she was having a nightmare.

"Tiana, wake up," Peter told her while shaking her gently. He was growing concerned, because he saw tears were coming out of her eyes but she just would not wake up. Girls crying were not something Peter liked. He began to shake her a little more and talk a little bit louder. He didn't want to scare her though. Slowly she began to wake up.

Her eyes opened and immediately she hugged with a lot of force. This came as a surprise to Peter, but he didn't mind it. She smelled and felt really nice to him.

"Thank you, Peter," Tiana said softly in his ear. She was crying, but only a little. She needed a hug to calm her down.

"Thank you for what?" he asked.

"For waking me up. I was having a nightmare." She slowly began to let go of him. Peter was already missing her touch.

"Oh it's no problem. I'm always here to help," Peter said with his usual prideful self, and that made her smile. "What was the nightmare about?"

"I don't want to talk about it," she sadly stated.

"Oh. Okay…But did you decide yet?" He asked immediately changing the subject. He really wanted her to come to Neverland with her. So many adventures could be had and stories to be told. Plus, Tiana was very pretty and he wanted someone pretty around. No offense to the lost boys.

The girl nodded her head while looking down at her hands. "Yeah, I've made my decision."

"What is it?" He couldn't take his eyes off her. He just had to know the answer.

"I'm going to Neverland." Tiana finally looked up into his eyes. She could tell he was really happy with her decision.

Peter jumped up, doing a back flip while flying in the air. He almost yelled out for joy with his notorious call but Tiana motioned for him to be quiet.

"My foster family is downstairs. I can't let them hear you," she said in a hushed but authoritative tone.

"Sorry," he said during his descent to the ground. "What made you change your mind?" Was it because of me?

"Many reasons," she simply stated while averting her eyes to the window and grabbing at her throat.

She is very secretive. I wonder why. Peter thought while looking at the girl who gave no answers.

"Umm…okay. Well let's go then." He flew up to Tiana almost grabbing her.

"Wait, I have to pack first and do some other things." Tiana jumped off the bed rummaging through her drawers.

"Pack? You don't need to pack."

"I need my books; they are important to me. And I need my clothes," the girl said.

"All your clothes are going to get messed up if you take them to Neverland."

"Then what am I supposed to wear?" She asked with confusion etched on her face.

"We'll find you something later, and you can wear that." He pointed to her pajamas. It was just a nightgown she received when she was younger but could still fit.

"I'm not going to wear this for the rest of my life."

"Fine, then pick something you want to wear and bring it with you," he said giving up. She'll learn that her clothes aren't going to last for very long. That's why all the lost boys have to wear animal skins. They are much stronger than some weak fabric.

"And my books?" She gestured to the books that were laid out on her bed. Peter looked at them with disgust. It was mainly because he used to hate when adults tried to make him read before he found Neverland, and also because they looked pretty heavy. Tiana was small and could easily be carried, but her and a stack of books would be a challenge. Not that Peter Pan couldn't do it or anything, it's just he didn't want to.

"No." She looked at him with the saddest expression.

"But I need them, how else am I going to tell my stories?" That wasn't the only reason why she wanted to take them along. Most of those books were passed down by her mother. She was lucky to still have them since she had to live in an orphanage where the kids didn't care for other peoples' belongings. Only a few of them survived. The really special ones.

Peter looked at her and then at the books. He could see that there were a lot of them. He looked back up at Tiana. Her big brown eyes pulled him in. How could he say no? She probably didn't even know what she was doing with those eyes.

He groaned. "You can take three." He's gonna be trouble in the future if she keeps using those eyes on him. Those dirty pirates would even listen to her if she gave them that look.

She immediately smiled and gave him another quick hug before gathering her books and a spare change of clothes into some sort of bag. It looked pretty odd to Peter. There were small pouches throughout, a little metal thing that seemed to be able to close the bag whenever necessary, and two handles hanging off the back. He didn't know who could come up with something so weird, but he didn't want to think about it too much. She put the odd bag on her back and looked like she was done gathering all her things. He also saw that she had put a needle thing in her bag. I wonder what that is for.

"Did you get everything you need?" Peter was beginning to be impatient. He just wanted to go to Neverland already.

"Ummm," she looked around for something and then she spotted it. "Yes… I have one last thing to do." Her voice was very soft-spoken and she sounded sad. Tiana grabbed the piece of paper she was searching for and a pen. She then began writing.

Dear Darlings,

I'm sorry for leaving. Trust me when I say that I didn't leave because of what happened today or any other day really. I just can't live in a family that is not my own. Please forgive me and give another boy or girl a chance at having a loving family like yours. There are plenty of kids who would love to have parents. I would know. But thank you for everything and please don't be sad. I wasn't that special anyways.

Sincerely, Tiana

P.S. I'm sorry Cliff, if I was taking your parent's attention. I know you didn't like me very much but know that I still liked you even if we never really had a chance to know each other.

Tiana read over the letter, and Peter was just peering over her, looking at her writing. It was easy because he was so much taller than her. She groaned with dissatisfaction on what she wrote. Suddenly she just balled the paper up and put it in the trash. After, she got another sheet of paper and just simply wrote one sentence: I'm sorry but I can't live here anymore.

She placed the paper on her bed knowing that they will find it when they come up to check on her. A stray tear made its way down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away not wanting to show Peter she was crying. He already saw her do that once before.

"We can go now," she quietly said. Her emotions were running high so she was just going to look at her feet in order to keep calm and not burst into tears. But Tiana knew that she had to leave, or else she'll just be unhappy for the rest of her life. At least now she has a chance of being happy because she is free of all responsibilities from school, having to be around people who don't like her for who she is, and not having to have a reminder of her dead parents whenever she sees the Darlings. This is what she needs to do no matter how much it hurts in the beginning.

"Okay, let's go," he expressed with a lot of joy. They were going to Neverland.

Disclaimer: I forgot to mention up there that I don't anything from Peter Pan except for my character Tiana and a few others.

Thanks for reading. :) Hope you liked it.
