Peter Pan, the return

Chapter 7

Imagination or reality?

Previously: we saw more of Tinkerbell's past and Wendy is about to go to the ball in her honour without knowing that Tinkerbell will come to see her in hopes that she can heal Peter from Smee's poison. There's only one problem, Wendy doesn't believe in Neverland anymore, will Tinkerbell be able to make her believe again?

(Wendy POV)
I was brushing my hair and adding the final touch on my makeup when my mother came in my room.
"Wendy are you ready?" She said.

"Almost mother, I just need to finish my hair," I said braiding the hair on the top of my head in a french braid. "Would you mind giving me the tiara in my jewelry box in the drawer over my bed?"

She smiled and took it.
"The tiara is beautiful dear."

I smiled back at her.
"Thank you mother."

She gave me the tiara but I give her back.
"Would you like to do it yourself mother?"

I could see in her eyes than she felted flattered. It's a this precise moment that I realized that I had neglected my family for a very long time and they missed me a lot. I decided to pay a little visit to my brothers before I get to the ball. I must admit that I missed them too, my lessons had taken all the time I usually used to tell stories to them.
I sighed and put my brush on my dresser.
"Mother?"

"Yes Wendy?" She said, looking at me by the mirror.

"Do you think that aunt would mind if I pay a visit to the boys? I know how they loved my stories, it would be good for them I think."

"You just make me remember about something that their teachers had said to me." She said. I could hear the worries in her voice.

"What is it mother?"

"Their teachers wrote me a letter because they did a test, they asked two questions and the students needed to write the first thing that came in their minds." She paused and took a deep breath. "The first question was 'I want her to' and all the boys wrote 'remember' and when the teacher asked who was 'her' for them they responded you Wendy."

I felt very confused.
"They want me to remember what?

"I have no idea." She seemed to think about it a few seconds. "But the other question is more disturbing; the question was 'I always knew that I was' John and Michael both responded 'loved', but Tootles, Nibs, Curly and the twins all responded the same disturbing thing."

She stopped talking, like if it was hurting her to respond. I was very curious so I asked her.
"What mom? What did they respond?"

She took a deep breath.
"They responded 'a lost boy'"

(Tinkerbell POV)
I needed to go back on Earth and get Wendy. If not, Peter would certainly die.
After putting Peter's unconscious body in his bed, I flew out of the hideout in the direction of Earth.

When I arrived at her house, I took a human sized form. When I look in her home and saw an orchestral inside and there was decorations in the garden. Something was definitely going on.

"My lady, may I ask you what you're doing here?" Asked a woman voice.

I turned around and saw a middle aged lady with brownish hair tied in a braided bun.
She had too much blue eyes shadow and too much lipstick. Which makes her look older than she was. Her dress was brown with red and golden embroidery on the corset, she was way too much grownup like. She looked at me, probably expecting an answer.
"Are you a friend of Wendy?" She asked me, still suspicious.

"Yeah, kind of." I said. "We have a past together." I added.

"You're here for the ball then?" She suspiciously asked me.
