a/n: Hey, guys! I noticed that my lovely readers have left me 30 reviews so far! So in return, I will give you all a little bonus chapter. It doesnt really fit with the plot, but I was just sort of thinking of things like "Why did Wendy get chosen by Peter? Whats the significance?" or "Why did Mr. Darling always act so strange when it came to story telling or believing in 'nonsense'?" So, maybe Mr. Darling was a little more involved than anyone thought! Heres what I got out of these thoughts! Enjoy!
There were very few things that Mr. Darling kept in his pocket. He was a very simple man, who lived simply. Therefore, his pockets were never entirely full, yet never entirely empty. As he walked down the street on his lunch break from his job at the bank, he stuffed his hands in his almost-empty pockets to keep the brisk wind from biting at his exposed fingers.
A paperclip, a folded up piece of paper- a picture drawn by John, actually... Some pocket lint, a pen, a button that had fallen off one of his coats. These were all things that you would find if you searched his pockets.
If you searched the left pocket, though, you would find something entirely out of place.
A pebble, oddly. Small, only a bit bigger than his thumb. Smooth, until you rub the place where there is an imprint of a leaf on one side of it. A bleak gray color, until you hold it out in front of you and whisper "I do believe in fairies".
Mr. Darling said this under his breath as he thought it, and though he couldn't see the stone in his pocket, he knew the fairy dust that he had found it in was glittering brightly, brought back to life still after all of those years had passed since he first picked up the stone.
And now, he thought, he felt more assured, more youthful. He smiled a simple smile to himself, allowing himself just this once to remember what he once was, what he sometimes longed to be, what he could never be again, what he dreams of almost every night.
Of the lost boy he used to be.
