Wildest Dreams - Peter Pan OUAT

2x21 - Second Star to the Right

(Everything from now on is Present day. And I don't know if y'all haven't noticed yet, but time goes by differently in Glendalia where Wendy is. And this is season 3, now so Emma broke the curse and stuff like that. They just don't know where Wendy is.)

Wendy

     I wake up in the morning and remember everything that happened yesterday. I look at my bedside table and see my engagement ring sitting there. I pick it up and slowly place it on my ring finger. I sigh then hear a door opening, I look up and see Baelfire getting out of the closet. "Good morning Wendy... Wendy, are you alright?" He asks, noticing my glum face. "Being honest Bae, no not really." I mumble. "Why? What happened Wendy?" He asks, sitting next to me on my bed.

I lift my left hand and see his eyes widen, "you're engaged?" He gasps. I slowly nod my head, "yes, yesterday my mother and father introduced me to King Joseph and his son Prince Derek; who is five years older than me and I don't even know anything about him." Baelfire grabs my hand and holds it in a comforting way. "Everything will be okay Wendy, it will work out eventually." He says encouragingly. I smile, then the door to my room bangs open and there stand John and Michael. "Wendy is it true? Are you engaged to Prince Der-." He stops himself as he sees the ring on my ring finger.

     "Its true." I whisper. John and Michael come over to the bed and sit next to Bae and I. "Oh Wendy, I'm so sorry." Michael says. I give them all a small smile, "and the wedding is tomorrow." I say. John and Michael's faces pale. "But Wendy you're still a kid, a teenager, you can't grow up this fast!" John says. "And you won't because tonight you are going to tell us a story!" Michael says. "A story? I haven't told a story in three years." I say. "Exactly which is why you are going to tell us one last story before you go and marry that beast." John says, I giggle.

     "Alright I will tell you a story tonight, and it will be Bae's first story too." I smile at him. "A story?" Bae asks. "Yes, Wendy is the best storyteller, you'll see." Michael smiles. Then the door to my bedroom opens and this time its my mother and father. I gasp, "mother, father-" "Wendy who is this?" My father cuts me off. "Oh um mother, father this is Baelfire. He was all alone and starving, I couldn't just leave him on the streets. He has no family, please let him stay." I beg. "Well Wendy of course he can stay, we will never let an innocent child starve. Welcome to the family Baelfire." My mother grins, Bae looks at me with a wide smile on his face. "Welcome to the family." I say.

     Later that day after a long afternoon of planning for my wedding, I go up to John and Michael and now Baelfire's room to prepare for the story tonight. I knock on the door and then John appears in the doorway. "Wendy what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be planning for the wedding?" John asks as I walk in. "We were and we finally finished, all that's left is a dress fitting. But that's later, I just need to sit down and rest." I sit down on one of the boy's bed's. "So Bae, how are you liking your room with John and Michael?" I ask. "Its great Wendy, thank you so much again. You have no idea how thankful I am for this." He says smiling. "Well of course Bae, you're our brother now. You're family." I say. I sigh standing up, "unfortunately boys I need to go and do a dress fitting for my... Wonderful wedding tomorrow. I will see you boys in a few hours for the story." I say, getting up and leaving their room.

     I stand on a small stage in my wedding dress surrounded by maids and my mother. "Oh Wendy you look absolutely stunning." My mother gushes. "Thank you mother." Giving her a small smile, yet not reaching my eyes. "Ladies you can all go now." My mother tells the maids. They all exit the room, "alright Wendy what's wrong?" My mother asks. "I don't want this, this is not how I want my life to be mother. You may have wanted this but I don't. I don't love Derek, I don't want to marry him or have his children. I'm still a child, this is all happening to soon." I say. I step down from the stage and pick up my wedding gown. "I know sweetheart." I look at her, "you know?" She gives me a small smile, "of course I do, this is how it went for me when I was your age. I was forced into an arranged marriage to your father. And I was just like you; I didn't want to do any of this. But then I fell in love with your father. Just like you will with Prince Derek." She explained. "No mother, you're wrong. I will not fall in love with Derek because I don't have that feeling of butterflies in my stomach when I see him. I feel nothing; no love for him." I gather up my dress and walk away from my mother out of the room. I change out of my wedding dress and into my nightgown.

     I head up the stairs and walk to John, Michael and Bae's room. I quickly walk in and lock the door behind me. "Alright boys its time for a story." I say. John, Michael and Bae all sit on one bed as I sit on another across from them. I am about to begin when I see something dark fly past their balcony windows. "Wait did you guys see that?" I ask, I run over to the balcony and open the doors look outside. "Wendy what are you doing? What did you see?" John asks. The boys all come over by me by the window. "It almost looked like... A shadow." I whispered. "A shadow, Wendy like from your stories! Pan's shadow you always said it would come and bring children to Neverland!" John says. I look around and see its coming back. "Wait its coming back, everyone get inside!" Bae shouted. We all backed into the room away from the window's. "I don't think that shadow is safe Wendy." Bae says. "Well why wouldn't it be safe?" I ask. "Its a black figure flying around, trying to get into our room. That doesn't sound very safe, wait did you say that it takes children away?" Bae asks. "Yes, to Neverland." I say. Bae goes over to the box at the end of John's bed and starts gathering supplies. "Its here to take one of us, we have to fight against it." Bae says. I grab a wooden bat from the box and hold it out in front of me. "How exactly do we fight this thing?" I ask. "I don't know." John says. "Its coming!" Michael shouts. The shadow flies into the room and circles around the ceiling.

     It swoops down and grabs Michael's shoulder. "Michael!" I yell. I reach over and grab onto him, but the shadow flings me back and I land on the floor. "Michael no!" I hear Bae shout. I get up and see Bae push Michael back away from the shadow and Bae stands in front of him. "It has to take somebody! And it has to be me, I won't let it separate and ruin your family!" Bae shouts. "No Bae you're a member of this family too!" I say. "You guys are the best family I've ever had!" He yells just as the shadow picks Bae up and flies out of the window. John, Michael and I all run towards the window, "no!! Bae! Baelfire!" We all shout. We watch as the shadow flies further away bringing Bae along with it.
