I glance out the window.
I gulp, "That's a long drop." I tell Peter.
But he smiles at me, "You'll be fine. You're a natural." Then he slips out the window and turns back to me. He holds out his hands, almost as if to catch me.
I take a deep breath and stick my legs out, sitting on the ledge.
"Come on then, you can do." Peter tells me with that stupid grin.
I close my eyes, hold my breath, and slip the rest of the way out. Peter catches me and hold me bridal style until I peak out through my eye lids. He laughs at my reaction and I soon realize our close proximity and push off his chest, making him release me. I expect to fall but find my self floating mid-air.
"Wow..." I mumble.
"I know right!" Peter shouts, "cool huh? Now let's go!" and he starts to fly off.
"'Go?'" I ask, "go where?" I want him to say it.
He turns back to look at me and gives me that dumb grin, "well, off to Neverland."
I match his stupid grin and go towards him, "well, wouldn't want to keep it waiting."
"Second star to the right and straight on till morning." he whispers and I burst out laughing.

And after of hours of flying, which somehow I don't ache, - I guess flying isn't like running, where your legs get sore... - a island comes into view. It's surrounded with bright tropical blue water and has white sand beaches. I see skull rock in the distance, and cannibal cove holding the Jolly Roger. Mermaid lagoon sparkles in the sun. I grin, the wind blowing back my dark brown hair.
I turn mid-air. "This is wonderful!" I shout.
Peter laughs at my reaction. "I'm glad ya like it." he tells me.
"Oh I do! Its perfect!"
Peter laughs again, "What do you want to se first?" he asks.
And I can't help myself, "The mermaids." I tell him.
Okay. New chapter! So... yeah. In case you haven't guessed I have giving up on my previously promised update schedule. And I'm not even going to apologize because I know all this is going to be is late short chapters. I researched some about the original Peter Pan story and let's just say: not going there! It's a bit... Well... So I'm just going to go along with the Disney story. Have a nice day and ta-ta for now!
