He looked up, the boy had dirty blonde hair, he was dressed in a school boy uniform and looked as tired as I was. He stood up slowly

"Are you here to take me home?" he asked cautiously.

"No." I replied, then my eyes turned to slits, "Are you here to take me home?"

He scoffed, "No!"

We stood there starring at each other for a while, until I remembered what he was doing.

"Were you just talking to the flowers?" I asked giggling a bit.

He scoffed once more, "No! I was talking to the fairy that led me here."

I nodded, "So it was a fairy?"

He nodded back, "So she did the same thing to you..." he trailed off.

I walked up to him as he seemed to be in his own little world and looked down to the fairy. She was beautiful, definitely the same thing that I had seen before. 
She looked over at me too and she smiled, flying up to my ear, talking to me in her squeaky little voice.
"Hello girl, I am Tinker Bell."

I smiled at her, "I am Petra."
I held out my finger for her to shake and giggled.

At this the boy looked up, only now noticing how I had come over. 
"What are you doing to Tinker Bell?" He asked

I smiled, "I'm doing nothing."
I then remembered how he asked if I was here to take him home.
"Boy, might you have run away from home also?"

He looked up," Yes."

"Why did you?" I asked

"My parents wanted me to.... grow UP!" He said disgusted.

"Me too, they expected me to marry this week. Like I was going to let  that happen!" I said.

He smiled over at me and bowed, "My name is Peter."

I curtseyed, "My names is Petra."

We both turned towards Tinker Bell.

"Do you know why she brought us here?" I asked

"She told me that there was a place she wished to take us, where we'd never have to worry about growing up again!" he said excitedly.

"Really?! Where is it?"

"I don't know." he said getting a troubled face.

"Might you tell us Tink?" I asked her.

"We FLY!" she said giggling

Peter and I shared glances, "But we can't fly Tink"

She flew over us both sprinkling some sort of glowing dust on us.

"Now just think some happy thoughts

I thought of never having to marry and going to this magical place Tink told me of and the next thing I knew,

I was FLYING!
