Disclaimer: I don't own anything. The Peter Pan series belong to its respectful owner(s). If I did own it, Peter and Wendy would have been happily together in Neverland and Jane and Maggie would be taking dirt naps.
Two years later …
"Wendy dear, time for school!" Her mother, who had reverted to normal since the day they returned.
"Coming, mother!" Wendy ran down the stairs in her school uniform, rushing.
As she came down the stairs, her brothers, John and Michael, who were eating hot cakes smothered with butter and maple syrup, waved goodbye to her. They were older now. Not by much, but the increased maturity did show.
John was more interested in politics and usually job shadowed his father, George Darling. He was getting taller and lankier. Michael on the other hand, no longer wore pajamas with feet and carried his teddy bear less and less often. Yes, the Darling siblings were definitely on the road to adulthood. But Wendy was still staying a child. Yes, she was growing taller and curvier and her mind was maturing also, but her spirit remained in child form. She was a child at heart.
With all this growing up, there was one childish thing that still remained in their hearts and dreams. Peter Pan. The young ginger had drilled his way into the Darling siblings' hearts and would remain there for all time. For John, there was another from Neverland in his heart. His dear, Tiger Lily, who had fallen in love with him and was surely missing him too.
The Darlings were a respectable family. Not really wealthy, but wealthy enough to surpass high middle class. And tomorrow would be a special day today. It would be dear Wendy Darling's thirteenth birthday. That also meant that she could get an arranged marriage.
The nearly thirteen Wendy waved and smiled back to her brothers and left out the door in a hurry.
