Standing against a tree, i eat a green apple as i watch Peter talk with Henry and i see him pass him a rolled up piece of parchment.
He gets up and then walks over to me as Henry drops the paper to the floor.
"What was that all about?" I say as he stands next to me as we both look at Henry.
"He's getting there, it will take time, but he will believe that Neverland is his home" He says
"And when he does?"
"He will keep me alive, the heart of the truest believer, remember?" He says and i nod, keeping my eyes on Henry
"So about that date-"
"I thought you were joking" i say to him as my head snaps to look at him on my left
"Oh, i'm serious" He says
"Ok then, what about it?" i ask him
"How about tonight, at the lake?" He says and i nod "See you there then" He says as he smiles and walks back over to Henry.

After a few hours, i watch as the sun starts to set and most of the lost boys walk over to me to say goodnight, i think that they see me as a Mum, it was quite unnerving, considering that i am only 16 or should i say 124? But over the past century i had started to just accept it.
I jump as Peter comes up behind me and sits next to me on the log i'm sitting at
"Ready?" He asks
"As i'll ever be" I reply as he smirks and i take his hand, getting up off the log and being lead into the forest.
When we reach the waterfall i look at the moon reflecting into it and i sigh
"What's wrong?" I hear Peter ask me as he sits down and i do the same, following after him
"I miss the sea sometimes" I say to him "It was my home"
"Neverland is your home now" He says
"Yes, But the sea will always be where i feel complete" I say as i walk closer to the river side and i put my hand in the cold water.
"If you had the chance would you ever change what happened, the day you came here?" Peter asks me as i sit up again, next to him
"Yes, i would want to come here willingly" I say as i smile sadly "Say goodbye to my Dad... but i guess that can't change and it was a good thing in a way, it made me realize how self centred my Dad really is... i can't trust anyone anymore" I say, honestly
"But you trust me?" He asks as he turns to face me.
I look to the side, suddenly being face to face with him
"Yeah, yes i guess i do trust you Peter" I say before I chuckle
"I know I shouldn't- I wish that I didn't- but I do and that really fucking scares me"
"You don't need to worry, I'm not planning on being set alight anytime soon" he says "don't mess with the girl with fire remember?"
I smile as he looks at me. His face is a wash of emotions that I can't quite pinpoint. I wish I could- I wish I could read his expression and know exactly why he is planning to do now that he knows I trust him.
"I am fire" I whisper as I look in his eyes
I knew I shouldn't have said yes, but it was the truth. I should have deflects the question and not told him I trusted him..... I should have said no..... I should lied....i should have-..... I should-.... I
Peter leans forward as my thoughts melt away.
He leans in and slowly presses his lips to mine.
Suddenly I'm kissing Peter Pan and my dreams don't seem so far away.
