Dear Maria, Count me in (All Time Low Fanfic)

Peter Pan

My painting was gone.

I had checked the school, between my classes, and even in the art room. Still no sign of my picture. I started asking friends if they had seen it but still, no picture.

By this time I knew there was no way I would get my picture back. That was until the next day, three days after I had lost my painting. I got a letter in the mail with no return address.

I sat down on my bed and opened the envelope. The first thing I pulled out was a polaroid picture of a hand holding something. I looked closer only to find that the something the hand was holding was my painting.

Noticing there were words on the back, I flipped it over and read it.
It read:

I've got your picture,
I'm coming with you.

Wow so elaborate. This person had my painting! By 'I'm coming with you' I'm assuming they meant to the competition. There was no way in HELL I was taking the person who STOLE MY PICTURE to the competition with me! No way!

In the middle of my little mental hissy fit, I saw that there was also a letter in the envelope. I pulled out the price of lined paper and opened it to find eight simple words written in neat handwriting:

Dear Maria,
Count me in.

Sincerely,
Peter Pan

Hello Internet
(For all of you who got that I love you)
[theres probably gonna be a shit ton of references thoroughly either the story or the authors notes so yeah ... stuff]
I know it's short. I know it's crap. But I can explain. This was my whole leading idea for the story but I couldn't put it in the first chapter and I couldn't make it any longer without it being super boring. I'm sorry! Don't hurt me!
Okay! Bye guys!
