Peter visited the girl every night hearing her singing that he grew to love so much. It was night again in London, Peter flew near the girl's opened window but instead of hearing her singing he heard crying. Peter and Tinkerbell flew into her room seeing her sitting on her bed her knees to chest and her head down, her arms covering her head as she sobbed. Peter frowned 'why is she crying' with that in his mind Peter walked towards her silently and said: "why are you crying?" Hearing him speak the girl tensed she lifted up her head towards the voice
"What?" She asked quietly
"Why are crying?" Peter repeated to her
"Um, because I'm alone" she answered timidly
"Why" Peter questioned, the girl frowned and replied
"My parents ignore me"

Her answer confused Peter 'her parents ignore her?' Peter approached her bed sitting on the edge, the girl felt her bed slump indicating that he is next to her, but she didn't face him instead faced front. There was a long silence between them until she asked him his name.
" what's your name?"
"Peter, Peter Pan; what is your name?" Peter said, the girl smiled slightly and said
"My name is Rosetta, Rosetta Gale"
"That's a nice name" Peter replied there was another silence then Peter sakes Rosetta why her parents ignore her. Rosetta sighed sadly and told him "I'm blind" Peter was confused about that wondering what she meant by being blind, but put aside to ask Tink later about it. The two of them talked to each other getting to know one another, Rosetta told him about her life, how her younger brother was the only one to get the attention while she is locked in her room all the time no one visiting, but only a maid would visit to give her food. She felt like a bird trapped in a cage with no friends or family by her side. Peter didn't like that she was isolated from everyone and told her he would be her friend, Rosetta smiled as thanks. Suddenly, they were interrupted by gingles
"What's that noise?" Rose asked
"That is Tinkerbell" Peter replied,
"who is Tinkerbell?"
"She's a fairy" Rosetta smiled excitedly and asked Peter if she could meet her. "She's right in front of you" Peter pointed out, Rosetta held out her palm where she felt Tink sit, Rosetta smiled wider and said "I bet she's beautiful" Tink blushed at the comment which made Peter laugh at her reaction making Rosetta giggle. Peter noticed that Rose hasn't faced him the whole time and asked Rosetta to face him
"I can't I don't know where you are," she said Peter frowned in confusion, gently Peter placed his hands on Rosetta's cheeks turning her face towards him. Peter's eyes widened in shock when he saw Rosetta's beautiful violet eyes that reminded him of the flower 'beautiful'

"Peter" Rosetta called out, Peter snapped out of his daze he stuttered "Y-yeah" "You alright," Rosetta asked worried, Peter told her he was fine, he removed his hands from her cheeks and said"Its just your eyes are beautiful" Rosetta blushed from ...

"You alright," Rosetta asked worried, Peter told her he was fine, he removed his hands from her cheeks and said
"Its just your eyes are beautiful" Rosetta blushed from his compliment and whispered a thank you in a response. An awkward silence filled the air till Pan said he had to go back home. "Where?" Rosetta asked
"Neverland, second star to the right and straight on till morning"
"Will I see you again?" Peter smiled and leaned to Rosetta's ear and whispered "always" Rose giggled at his answer. Just as Peter was about to approach the window till Rosetta shouted for him to wait
"Wait!" Peter stopped and faced Rose, who was standing in front of him with her stick as a guide. Peter was caught by surprise when Rosetta suddenly kissed his cheek and said
"I'll wait for you, Peter" Peter's cheeks turned hot red, nodded his head "hn" was the only sound he made before flying full speed ahead to Neverland with a laughing Tinkerbell not far behind.
