How can someone work up the courage to steal a kiss and then have it be drained from them in an instant, leaving you alone? How can Niall of all people do that? He's probably one of the bravest people I know, and he just ran away from me like a cat with its bottle-brushed tail behind his legs.

Peter flew into Wendy's room as my mind flooded with questions.

Niall Horan, my best friend of 13 years, just kissed me. I guess we all saw it coming, a little bit. Mum and Dad did. Maura and Bobby did. Greg and Asher did. Arianna and Louis did. Everyone at school did, for the most part. I guess in the back of my mind I had secretly hoped it would happen. But what about Niall? Did he secretly hope for it to? Maybe he kissed me in the spur of a moment. Maybe he had done it out of habit from the past girlfriends he had. Maybe he had wanted to do it for a long time but just now got the courage to do so.

But what about me? What did this mean to me? For me? I just kissed my best friend. And it wasn't the silly little peck on the cheek or the forehead or the lips we normally shared out of the closeness of our friendship, it was a kiss of affection. So my question remains, what does it mean for me, for us?

"Second star to the right and straight on till' morning!" Peter chirped to Wendy on the screen full of life.

I settled myself back into the plush couch to watch the remainder of my and Niall's favorite Disney movie.

My mind wandered through the sky, searching for the second star to the right, taking me away from my dilapidated town of Stonington, Connecticut, to Never land. I dive from the cloud covered sky into the salt air surrounding the sea in this magical realm.

"SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Captain Hook yelled across the deck at his first hand mate. I found myself chuckling as the wide-girthed man with a rather large nose scurried across the deck to present a timid salute to the gangly man with a long face and hooked hand.

I plunged lower to the surface, landing on the flag tower, cleverly messing with the man on look out duty. "Captain! It's Peter Pan!" He screeched to hook below.

"Ah, Peter Pan, what a lovely surprise." Hook chuckled, remaining a scarily calm and border line scary facade. "Come to meet your fate have we?"

"Ahaha! Hook! My fate is to never grow up, you of all people should know that!" Peter chuckled as he flew down from the cotton ball could and swooped across the deck, spinning Hook around to reveal his flustered face.

" If I were you, I would give up." Hook said with a devious grin plastered across his crooked features.

"If you were me, I'd be ugly." Peter laughed full-heartedly and flew back into the clouds for an instant, moments before reappearing with a Wendy on his back, with John and Michael trailing behind him.

"Where are we going peter?" Michael chirped timidly, clutching his teddy bear in his arms.

"Why to see the mermaids of course!"

"Oh, how sweet." Peter peers over his shoulder with a disgusted look. "What? Are mermaids not sweet?"

"Nope," Peter said simply, popping the p. "They'll sweetly drown you if you get too close though."
