Kristin felt a tap on her shoulder.

She looked up and saw a familiar boy. Kristin lay on the pavement, knowing that she was in the state before death, and this couldn't be more than a dream.

"Boy?" Kristin whispered. "Who are you?"

The boy smiled and his leafy green eyes flashed. "I'm Peter Pan, Kristin. You remember me, right?"

Kristin shook her head in confusion. Peter lifted her up by the hand and said, "Well, let's go!"

"Go... where?" Kristin squeaked. Peter squeezed her hand and said, "To Neverland, of course!"

Kristin beamed. "I think..." she trailed off. "I think I read about that place in a book once."

Peter smiled. "Maybe you have."

Kristin and Peter flew off into the bright morning sky, and Peter held Kristin's hand the whole way to Neverland.

And Kristin, well, for a moment, she believed that she remembered something about this boy. For a moment, the only thing in her mind was a vision of him.

Maybe, just maybe, this time, it was real.
