Your POV:
"Are you ready?" I asked dreading what was coming.
He looked at me with a determined expression and replied,
"Yes, for anything."
I wrote on the page with the quill:
Pan and ___ were transported to Neverland.
In a flash, we were once again in the accustomed jungle of Neverland. The sun had set and the billions of stars that filled the night sky shone above us.
"I never thought I'd say this, but I actually missed this place," I said looking up.
Pan kissed my cheek and took my hand,
"C'mon, the thinking tree isn't too far."
"But, won't he be there?"
"No, the thinking tree isn't a King of Neverland thing, it's just a Pan thing."
"Oh, I thought it came with the job," I said smirking.
We climbed up the massive tree and sure enough, Pan was right. The new King of Neverland hadn't known about the thinking tree, or at least hadn't found a way in yet.
We lit the fireplace and sat on the rug in front of it.
"I can't believe this happened," I said.
"Yeah, I guess the dark magic has to go somewhere, so it just went back to the ruler of Neverland."
"I know, but Jacob? I mean of all the boys on Neverland...why him?"
Pan shrugged his shoulders,
"I don't know."
I yawned and he added,
"We should rest, we have quite the challenge ahead of us."
He put out the fire as I crawled in bed, joining me after. We turned to face each other, our noses almost touching.
"You know what I never asked you the first time I came here?" I asked.
"What?"
"If you didn't sleep, why did you have a bed up here?"
He laughed a little and replied,
"I knew you'd find this place sooner or later."
I blushed and said,
"And you're implying the bed would be used for..."
He assured me,
"For you to sleep in, nothing more."
I laughed as he rolled his eyes and smiled.
"I thought-"
"I'm not a perv, ___. I may hold knives up to your throat but I draw the line at that," he said laughing.
"So, you'd never want to..."
"In the future, maybe. We'll talk about this later, you should get some rest."
He pressed his lips against mine and wrapped his arms around me. And for the first time, I saw Pan do something I'd never seen him do before...sleep.
