In which a young girl who doesn't believe in magic ends up on the most magical place in the world; an island called Neverland. After spending a few months on the island, she wants to go home. However, two years later, Annie Wood makes her return to...
Annie went into her tent, and put her hands on her knees. She took a few deep breaths, as she tried to calm herself down. Grayson was her only close friend on Neverland, and she didn't want to just throw that away. She sighed, and flopped down onto her bed. It was still raining, and Annie just laid there listening to it hit the roof. without even realizing, Annie drifted into a deep sleep.
Annie woke up on her side, to the sound of boys cheering outside, and no rain. A ray of sunshine was flowing into her tent, and laying across the floor. Annie looked down, and realized she was wrapped up in a blanket. Someone must've tucked her in. Annie got out of bed, and adjusted her clothes. Her hair was slightly wavy from getting wet from the rain, but messy from sleeping. She quickly fixed her pony tail before folding up the blanket that was on her bed, and leaving the tent.
The boys were dancing around the firepit, but there was no fire. There was also no Peter, or Grayson. Annie walked over to one of the logs, and sat down. One of the boys stopped dancing, Jakob, and sat down beside her.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, you?" Annie replied.
"Why wouldn't I be? I'm living the dream." Jakob chuckled. Annie nodded slightly, not understanding how this was the dream. "Don't beat yourself up too much, annie." The Lost boy said before going back to join the others. Annie watched as Tanner, Hunter, Jakob, and Luke, all danced around. There wasn't even any music, they were just dancing to the cheers that their mouths made.
Annie stood up off the log, and decided to go for a walk. She walked into the woods, but was grabbed and pulled into the bushes.
"Hey! What the-" Annie cut herself off when she saw that it was Grayson who grabbed her.
"I should've done this earlier." Grayson mumbled, and leaned down to place a soft kiss on Annie's lips. She stumbled back a bit, but kissed him back. Grayson had one hand on her cheek, while the other was still holding her wrist. Grayson pulled away, and smiled.
"What was that for?" Annie asked.
"Huh? I don't know, I thought you were going to do it earlier." Grayson replied, suddenly panicking.
"Well, I don't know. I don't think I think of you that way, Grayson." Annie replied and he laughed nervously.
"Well, that's alright. Uh, wanna walk with me?" Grayson asked. He held his arms out, signaling annie to lead the way. Annie walked out of the bushes, and back onto the path. Grayson came out behind her, and started walking beside her.
"So, where's Peter?" Annie asked, breaking the awkward silence that had fallen.
"Oh," was all Annie said. She walked in silence with Grayson for a while, until they made it back to camp. Peter was back, and was sitting by the fire. This time, there was an actual fire. Annie and Grayson sat down on a log together, and looked over at Peter. He was just sitting there, picking at his nails.
"Pan, can I help with dinner?" Annie asked.
"No, the boys are already doing it." Peter replied without looking at her. Annie had noticed that the other Lost boys were missing, she just didn't know where they were. "Grayson, you can go help too." Peter said. Grayson sighed, and stood up before heading into the kitchen tent.
Once he was gone, Annie spoke. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"What do you mean, what's wrong?"
"You seem upset about something."
"Is it really that obvious?" Peter asked, finally looking up at Annie. She simply nodded her head. "I'm fine." Peter said before also getting up, and walking away. annie sat alone on the log, with nothing but the fire to keep her company. She tried not to think about what was going on in her head, and focused all her attention onto the crackling of the fire. It helped to take her mind off things, and she hadn't even noticed when the Lost boys came out of the tent to cook their food.
Annie sat back and watched as the boys got dinner ready. They made up eight plates, and passed them around to everyone. Grayson decided to sit next to his brother, and Tanner came to sit beside Annie.
"Hello, Anna Banana." He said, and looked over at Annie. There was a large grin spread out on his face.
"Hi, Tanner." Annie replied. She wasn't as enthusiastic as him.
"How are you?" Tanner asked.
"I could be better. How are you?"
"I'm great. How's your food?"
"Good, how's yours?"
"Good." Tanner and Annie both chuckled, and continued eating their dinner. Everyone sat in silence as they ate, and brought their dirty dishes into the kitchen when they were finished.
