"We can't both have her lady." -Jeremy Sumpter, Peter Pan (2003)

-First Person/Peter-

"It was a little after you left. I was cleaning my side when I suddenly remembered seeing a man one night through his window. He was crying and sad like me...then he took a drank of some rum I saw..."

        "My god, Peter--"

        "I know, I know--"

        "You said you wouldn't drink it!" Misty suddenly yelled.

        "Oh please, don't act surprised Misty...you know where the mermaid was going..." I corrected Misty.

        "Well kinda...but I was hoping--"

        "Stop that..." I protested a little offended.

        "What I can't hope?" Misty asked.

        "A little late for that dontcha think..." I mumbled under my breath.

        "What? What did you say?" Misty demanded.

        "No stop--"

        "Stop what?!" Misty angrily asked.

        "Stop trying to make me feel guilty Misty--" Truth was, I was making myself feel guilty, and I should.

        "I'm not--"

        "Yes...yes you are." I said squeezing the bridge of my nose in frustration with myself.

        "Well its your own fault Peter--you are making yourself feel guilty. And you should! Honestly. I told you and I told you." Misty was shaking her head with her eyes closed. I looked at her annoyed.

        "Told me what? You didn't tell me anything about rum." I protested terribly aggravated.

        "Not uh not uh Peter...I told you I didn't want you to drink it."

        "And who says you are aloud to tell me what to do and what not to do?" I asked.

        "Well somebody has got to--do you want to get sick Peter!? Because rum will do that now..."

        "I did get sick, but now I'm better." I corrected. Misty gasped.

        "When!?"

        "Calm down, I only puked."

        "Oh. Well serves you right!"

        "I know, and I'm sorry Misty--"

        "Nobody likes a drunk, Peter." Misty suddenly interrupted.

        "Uh--hey..." I said in offense. "It was one time."

        "True, true, but did you like it?"

        "Like what?"

        "Getting drunk."

        "Well, I can't really remember much--the rum wasn't bad--but I still didn't like puking, and honestly it's a little scary...not remembering. The mermaid told me that I broke the rum bottle there. Who knows what I'd do with the pieces, you know?" Misty nodded stiffly.

        "So you never going to drink again?" She asked. I don't if were ever going to again. Rum tasted better then water. I didn't say anything. Misty grew anxious "So you arn't going to, right?!" She asked scared. My mouth opened but I couldn't think of what to say.
