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.

It was nine o'clock pm in London, England. The Darlings were all gathered around. Wendy was at the center. She was crying.

"But why Mother? I just don't understand."

Mrs. Darling tried to comfort her, but it did no good at all.

"Wendy … uh … dear. You should be considered lucky. Not all people get to marry a Worthington."

The Worthingtons were a very prestigious family, at the top of the food chain for wealthy people. They had it all. The looks, the money, … everything basically. And truth to be told, Mrs. Darling was quite jealous of her daughter, even when she was quite satisfied with Mr. Darling. When she was young, there was only one Worthington bachelor and he married Mrs. Darling's school rival. The oh-so snooty Annemarie Fairchild.

"Besides, Wendy, your soon-to-be fiancée is very handsome and rich."

Wendy turned her back to her mother.

"I don't care if he literally has a heart of gold or if he's the new reborn Adonis! I want to marry who I want and not what someone else tells me!"

Mr. and Mrs. Darling facepalmed. If Mrs. Darling couldn't convince her otherwise, then Mr. Darling would have to put in his two cents. Mrs. Darling tried again, with no success. Now, Mr. Darling would have to intervene.

"Look now, Wendy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime offer. If you don't marry him, we'll … well we'll … DISOWN YOU!"

Everyone's eyes widened at the word. John and Michael would be devastated. No more story times. No more sister. No more Wendy. And no more Wendy would mean no more Peter Pan! After all, Peter had let them come because of Wendy in the first place. They stood up to give their parents their two cents.

"Father, you can't be serious!" John burst out. Michael was holding on to Wendy and was stuck to her.

"Now now, John. Michael. We have to do what we have to do."

If they couldn't be convinced, they'd have to give them their final blow.

"Well, Father. If you disown Wendy, uh … you can disown me too!" Both their parents gasped. Michael stood up straight, held by his brother's momentum.

"And me!" Their parents gasped again.

Their parents had expected Wendy to be concerned when their father threatened to disown her, but she wasn't.

"Besides, you don't own me. You own none of us!" With that last remark, Wendy barged out the front door, running away from the house. John and Michael stopped her with a question.

"But Wendy! What about Peter Pan?"

Not knowing about their adventures in Neverland, Mr. and Mrs. Darling were confused.

"Now, who is this, uh … 'Peter Pan?'" Mr. Darling asked. Mrs. Darling gasped, finally getting it.

"Wendy. Is this 'Peter Pan' boy the one you like?"

Wendy was kind of speechless. She had forgotten all about Peter Pan in the heat of the moment. Plus, she didn't know what to say when Mrs. Darling asked if she liked Peter Pan, so Mr. Darling spoke.

"Well, you can forget this 'Peter Pan' boy, because you're going to be married to Brandon Leroy Worthington!"

"No, I won't! You can disown me all you want, but I won't marry someone that I don't want to marry!" Mr. Darling then just got angrier and angrier.

"Yes. You. Will!" Mrs. Darling tried to ameliorate the situation by calming her red-faced husband down.

"Now, Wendy. You haven't even met the lad. Maybe once you two meet, you'll like him more. Please Wendy. I'm trying to be the bigger person here and compromise, but I can't do that if you can't agree to it." Wendy softened a bit and Mr. Darling's face returned to its normal color.

"Alright, Mother. I'll stay." With this, the other Darlings cheered.

"But, I won't marry him. I'm still … uh … waiting for Peter." Mr. Darling opened his mouth wide to scream something out, but Mrs. Darling covered his mouth.

"Okay, Wendy, but if this waiting thing doesn't work with you and this 'Peter Pan' boy, just try to reconsider." She kissed her daughter on the forehead.

"Fine, Mother." The Darling family went back inside the house.
