an: hey guys. Sorry about the long wait. But I promise you I will work as much as I can to get this story going faster. I brought some new (and old) characters into the mix, so I hope you enjoy!c:

I was in a boat. There was no water, I was floating through the air, rocking back and forth on a sea made of stars. It was the most peaceful thing in the world.

I opened my eyes to see a pair of green irises staring at me. I screamed and jumped up, hitting my head with the other.

Peter rubbed at his forehead ruefully. "Ow," he muttered.

"What the heck were you doing?" I asked. "You scared the life out of me."

"You were smiling in your sleep. I was just wondering what you were dreaming about."

Muttering to myself, I swung my leg over the side of the hammock and dropped, realizing a little too late that I wasn't near the ground.

Peter caught me lightly by the wrist and lowered me to the ground. "You should probably learn how to fly. You do an awful lot of falling."

I sighed, looked around. "Where are the boys?" I asked.

Peter simply shrugged.

"You would make a horrible father."

"I don't think you'd be a very good mother," Peter replied.

It was my turn to shrug. "I don't pretend otherwise. I'm not ready to be a mother." I looked at him evenly.

"What?" he asked.

"Teach me how to fly," I said.

"Father!" I heard one of the lost boys call from the distance.

Peter smirked. "Maybe later."

"I'm counting on it," I said as the boys stormed into the tent.

As soon as they were in range, they all began talking at once, their voices blurring together like an unpracticed choir.

"One at a time, guys," Peter said.

"Father!" Tiny exclaimed, breathless from trying to talk above everyone else. "Why didn't you tell us that Tinkerbell was getting married?"

Peter paled, his cheeks taking on the only color. "I didn't think it was important," he answered smoothly.

"But the wedding is tonight!" Mundin said.

"And?" Peter tried to look bored.

"So we're going, right?" Gingsley asked.

I stepped up now. "Of course we're going," I said. "It would be rude to do anything but."

The boys all cheered and began talking excitedly again.

I chanced a look at Peter, who was looking anywhere but my eyes. I smirked. If I wasn't happy, it was at least comforting to know that he wasn't either.

A second later, Peter stormed out of the cave.

Without thinking, I followed, though I knew I couldn't keep up with someone that flies for a living.

This time, oddly enough, Peter ran.

I kept good pace, and Peter didn't run very far. We ran past the lake that I almost drowned in, through hundreds of trees, whizzing by as I ran, and finally Peter came to an abrupt halt. He sat down on the ground and pulled his knees up to his chest.

I sat cautiously next to him, saying nothing. I realized Peter stopped so suddenly because we were now at the edge of a cliff. Peter said nothing either, the silence was only filled with our heavy breathing.

"I didn't know fairies could get married," I mused, trying to get some type of response.

Peter was silent, for once. He stared broodingly ahead of him, where the sea of neverland lapped against a nearby shore some hundred feet below us. His jaw clenched.

"You don't want her to get married, do you?" I asked quietly.

Peter still said nothing, and I began hurriedly thinking of a way to leave before it got dark and I forgot how I got over to this part of the mountain.

"She's leaving me," Peter finally said.

"Not really," I replied, "she's just joining someone in matrimony."

Peter huffed. "In the very beginning, it was just us. Only Tink and I. Tink saved me."

I sighed. "Peter, we all have to go through a big change sometime in our life. We lose some, gain some. Just because you're the flying-boy-wonder doesn't mean that you're an excuse to that rule. Everything happens for a reason."

Peter nodded sadly and said, "I've never felt so grown up."

"I don't believe that," I said, "and I don't believe you do either."

Peter simply sighed.

I nudged him with my shoulder. "Just think of it as an adventure," I suggested.

Peter halfheartedly smiled as he turned and looked at me- and then his face cracked into a grin.

"What?" I asked, suspicious.

He pulled a rather large twig out of my hair and held it out in front of me.

I smacked it out of his hand, embarrassment making me belligerent.

Peter laughed loudly as I turned red. Angry as I was, though, I had to admit that his laugh was the sound of happiness, the sound of no worries mixed with a lifetime of freedom. I wished I could laugh like that.

But before I knew it, I was laughing, too. Peter's laugh latched onto me and I was suddenly caught up in a burst of hysteria.

And I loved it.

The next second, Peter was hauling me to my feet, still grinning like a fool. I couldnt help but notice that I looked the same way. I also couldnt help but notice that Peter hadnt released my hands after I was on my feet, which stirred something inside of me, something that I did not want to venture a look at just yet.

"Tink loves you," I said, "but she loves this guy, too. And if you love her like she loves you, you'll be happy for her and you'll support her in whatever choices she makes with her life."

Peter smiled a secret smile.

"What?" I asked once more, studying his eyes... his beautiful green eyes-

A tree branch scratched my cheek.

"Ow!" I exclaimed, looking down, my exclamation abruptly turning into a "What the-!" As I saw the forest floor feet below me. I was floating with Peter, higher and higher, farther from the soft forest floor.

Now I understood Peter's smile.

And I smiled back, finally.

And as the sun set in Neverland, and I flew hand in hand with Peter over the ocean and mountains and deserts and volcanoes, I realized that in that moment, where the sun caught Peter's eyes and he smiled that adventurous smile of his, that I was truly happy.

"Time to go to a wedding," Peter said as we sailed off through the clouds.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

The night was crisp and sweet, to describe it in a way. As a twig snapped under Captain Nerezza's boot, he smiled at the thought of a happily wonderful night going horribly wrong. Captain Hook had given him strict orders on how to construct the night's work, and he would listen to them... to a certain degree. He had teamed up with Hook once more when he had been told that Hook finally knew once and for all how to ruin Peter Pan.

Nerezza moved through the forest before him, using the light coming from ahead as a guide. There, where that light shined, was a wedding. A beautiful fairy wedding taking place in Pixie Hollow, a large hollowed out tree that the fairies lived in together. This was sure to be wonderful.

Another twig cracked and Nerezza halted, as did the crew of pirates behind him.

There, a little ways ahead of him, was a boy and a girl. They walked cautiously, the boy holding the girls hand to steady her as they wandered through the dark, dense forest.

Peter Pan, Nerezza thought. He still looked about the same, though he was aging quickly. His thick blonde hair and light skin that seemed to glow, his tunic made of leaves and vines, these had all become representative of the boy Peter Pan.

But the girl… Nerezza had never seen her before, but he knew from Hook's description of her that this was Grace. Her eyes lit up as she took in one of Neverlands many forests for what seemed to be the first time. She was pretty, with sandy hair and big blue eyes, wearing a blue tunic and a pair of boots.

Tonight, my dear Grace, Nerezza thought with a smile, your world changes.

And tonight, Pan… I will bring on the start of your demise.

an: Woooooh! For those of you who are wondering, Captain Nerezza is actually an original(ish) Peter Pan character. He played a part in one of the spin offs of the original story of Peter Pan, which I thought was cool, so you'll be seeing more of him in the next chapter and so on! So I hope you guys liked this new chappie! If you did, please review! I love them so3 Till next time!c:

Peace!
