When I was finished sewing his shadow on I had to cut the thread.
"Might I borrow your knife? "I ask
He hands me his knife and I cut the thread
"Thank you"
"Oh the cleverness of me "he shouts
"Of course I did nothing"
"You did a little"
"A little? "I said offended
I stood up and went back into my bed
"Good night "I said and threw the covers over my head
"Annabelle "he asks crawling towards me
"One girl is worth towards twenty boys"
"You really think so?"
"I live with boys,the lost boys they are well named"
"Who are they? "I ask sitting up in my bed
"Children who fall out of their prams when the nurse is not looking if they are not claimed in seven days they are sent to the never land"
"Are there girls too?"
"Girls are much too clever to fall out of their prams "
"Peter it is perfectly lovely that you talk about girls"
"I should like to give you a kiss "
He holds his hand out
"Don't you know what a kiss is? "I ask
"I shall know when you give me one"
I then dropped a thimble into his hand
"I suppose I should give you one now "
"If you like "I Said expecting a kiss
But he just gives me an acorn
"Thank you "I said and went to go put it on a necklace
"How old are you Peter? "I ask
"Quite young "
"Don't you know?"
"I ran away,one night I heard my mother and father talking about what I was to be when I became a man.so I ran away to the gardens there I met Tink "
"Tink? "I ask
"Tinker bell he replies she is my fairy"
"But there is no such things as -"
He flew over and put his hand over my mouth
"Don't say that,every time someone says that a fairy always falls down dead.and I shall never be able to find her if she is dead."
"You don't mean to tell me ,there is a fairy in this room."
"We've come to listen to your stories.I like the one about the prince who couldn't find the lady who wore glass slippers."
"Cinderella "
"Peter he found her and they and they lived happily ever after" I said
"I knew it"
"Peter I should like to give you a thimble "
"What's that?"
I was then leaning in to give him a thimble when I felt my hair being pulled
"Tink"he shouts
He grabs a little light and throws it on my bed
She starts shouting in words I don't understand
"She's not very polite,she says if you try and give me a thimble again.she'll kill you"
"Oh well I suppose fairies to be charming "
"Peter don't go "I shout not wanting him to leave me
"I have to tell the others about Cinderella "
"But I know lots of other stories,stories I can tell the boys"
"Come with me "
"But I cannot fly"
"I will teach you I'll teach you to fly on the winds back and away we go "he said grabbing my hand.
"May my brothers and sister and bandit come too?"
He looks at them and he smiles at me
"Guys get up "I said waking my siblings and dog
"There is a boy here who is to teach us to fly"
"You offend reason sir "said John
Peter then flies up into the air amazing my siblings
"I shall like to try it with you"
"You just think happy thoughts and they lift you into the air" he said flying up the ceiling
"It's easy"
He sprinkled my siblings and dog with fairy dust
He then looked at me and blew some fairy dust into my face

He then looks down and then I realized I was flying"Come away he said come away to never land ""But what about mother" I ask as me and Wendy fly back to the ground "Father" said John "Nana "said Michael "There are mermaids""Mermaids "we both cry f...

He then looks down and then I realized I was flying
"Come away he said come away to never land "
"But what about mother" I ask as me and Wendy fly back to the ground
"Father" said John
"Nana "said Michael
"There are mermaids"
"Mermaids "we both cry flying upward
"Indians"
"Indians "cry the boys
"Pirates"
Then my brothers and sister then fly out the window
Peter holds out my hand but I look back at my nursery which I will now have to leave
"Forget them Annabelle,forget them all,come with me where you'll never never have to worry about grown up things again"
"Never is an awfully long time" I said
Bandit looks at me with pleading eyes
And we both flew out of the nursery with Peter about to go on an adventure
