Wendy & Peter, the amateur and the star

Chapter 4

"Alright! Cool, we got it finished!" The two high-five and Wendy whoops in excitement. Peter laughs and catches a glance of the clock, then yawns. "Oh, gosh! It's 9:45! I am tired!" Wendy's head shoots to the clock. The door opened and Mr. Disney appeared in the door way with an exhausted face. "Hi guys! Uh, I think y-you guys should go home and get some rest. Y-you guys are gonna record the song tomorrow if the lyrics are finished." Wendy got less concerned about the time and more about Walter. She walked over to him, and steadied his wobbly position, his eyes droopy. "Mr. Disney? Are you alright?" Wendy asked, leading him over to the side of the couch where Jane and Tarzan weren't sleeping on. 

She hurriedly went to the mini fridge and pulled out a cold water bottle. Wendy rushed back with the now opened bottle and handed it to him. Walter smiled with gratitude and chugged a couple gulps. Peter watched, still in the same spot he was in when Walter walked in, behind Wendy. But he had a warm grin on his face, arms crossed as he watched Wendy asks and try to relax Mr. Disney. He snaps out of it and walks over to them and crouches down next to the concerned girl's side. "You good, Mr. D?" Mr. Disney put the bottle down and smiled with a nod. He stood up, Wendy and Peter following. "You guys should go home and sleep." His attention was turned to a little snort next to him. "Like these two are," he chuckled. Wendy smiled and nodded, walking over to Jane. 

"Jane?" she whispered, shaking her gently. "Jane, come along, we have to go home now." Jane stirred awake and hummed in response. Wendy put her arm around the half asleep teen and waved, walking out the door. Walter waited a couple seconds after the door closed to look to Peter and say, "You like her? I think she's nice, huh? Hmmm?" Peter playfully rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "Yes, she is nice, but Mr. D, I got a girlfriend. Remember her? TigerLily?" Mr. Disney sighs in a playful defeat. "I know...So, how's the song coming along?" Peter smiled, glad to get off of the girl topic. "Well, it's really good, actually! It's actually kind of deep and when she was explaining the rift and melodies by singing them, I said daaaang! Her voice is seriously dope, Mr. D!" Peter looks up and down, hand hovering his mouth, leaning back slightly. Walter laughs and smiles a bright smile. "I'm glad you guys work so well together because you two are gonna see more of each other!" Peter looks like a confused child. "What'cha mean?" 
      

      "You'll see." Walter winked and Peter blew some hair out of his face with slight annoyance. "Okaaay," he grumbled out. Disney's expression filled with remembrance. "Oh! Lily said to have a good night before she left the building!" Peter smiled and nodded, drossy. "I'ma head out now, Mr. D. Night!" He and Disney walked out the room and parted ways. After showering and doing his night routine, Peter grabbed his guitar and softly strummed on his bed. His mind drifted to Wendy for some reason. He thought of the familiar feeling when he saw her. Why was she so familiar? Peter pondered on it, now absent mindedly strumming. It started frustrating him and him being frustrated and tired was not a good mix. That combination equaled a huge headache! 

He let it go for now and put his feather printed guitar back, eyes barely open. Peter snuggled into his sheets and his head hit the pillow, lulling him to his sleep. 

Peter's dream

Peter was sitting on the sidewalk of the playground, away from the kids and looked down to his scraped and partly bloody knee with a frown. His mom was no where to be found and since he had no dad, he was alone. A sad, red head six year old alone in the park where anyone can easily snatch him. Peter became scared and sat on the edge of a wooden bench holding his knees against his chest as he watched the other children playing with their friends. His eyes blurred with tears, feeling more and more lonely by the second. He didn't even notice the concerned girl about his age sit next to him, inspecting his wounded knee. "Are you alright?" He whipped his head to the girl, but couldn't fully see her with the tears in the way. Peter sniffled and shook his head. "My mommy...I can't find her. I hurt my knee on a sharp woodchip thingy and I don't have any friends to talk or play with." He stutters out with sadness along with nervousness. 

The girl smiles and digs in her dress pocket. She pulls out some thing that looks like a package of bird shaped band-aids along with a cloth. "I trip a lot so my mommy tells me to keep these with me at all times. Can I...?" She trails off gesturing to his knee and he nods, mouth gapped. She smiles and gently wipes Peter's knee. After that she grabs the band-aid box and turns the back to face him, revealing every patterned band-aid there was inside. "Which one?" He ponders a little before pointing to a rainbow colored bird. "That one, please?" She nods and searches, then exclaims when she pulls it out. "The last rainbow one! Just for you! He ha!" He feels himself smiling a bit as she places the bird band-aid on the wound. "Thanks...I'm Peter." He wipes his eyes to clear his vision, eyes disappearing in his sleeve and...that's it.

Peter shoot ups from his bed with his eyes wide open. Big mistake. The sun stings his eyes and he groans, hand trying to blocking the sun from them. He soon forgets the dream with only bits and pieces of it in his memory and his phone rings. He looks at the clock that reads 5:38am before answering it. "Yes?" he groggily answers. "Peter, you know how I said you'd see how you and Wendy would see more of each other?" He sighs. "Oh hey, Mr. Dis. Totally wasn't sleeping but yeah. Why?" He could almost hear the grin in his bosses voice. "Well, you're gonna go to her school! Fun, right?" He enthusiastically announces. "Uh huh. Fun." Peter let it sink in. "Wait...What?! Really?! Oh, yes! No more tutors! Whoo!!" Peter jumped on his bed, a new energy in his veins. "Uh hem? Peter?" Peter stopped and cleared his throat trying to act casual about the news. "Um yeah, cool, cool. So uh... what uh, what's the school name?" Disney laughed and answered. After explaining more details, he hung up and Peter got ready, singing the whole time he did so. He stuffed all the things he used for home-school in a Native American style backpack and shoved a croissant in his mouth, zipping out the door into his car. He started the engine and headed to the school. 

Wendy was confused along with the other students in the school. Why was everyone gathering in the cafeteria out of nowhere? There was supposed to be a special announcement made by the principal but about what? When every settled down, the school principal, Ms. Clarion stepped onto the stage that was their for event or assemblies. She tapped the microphone and everyone went silent. "The reason why I gathered everyone here so unexpectedly is because we have a new student. Not a regular new student, but a semi famous one. Peter Pan." The whole school gasped, screamed, murmured, giggled, or whispered about the new news. "Oh my! Wendy, Peter is coming here! Oh, that means you guys could work on songs faster! Jane exclaimed as Wendy's boyfriend James Hook walked over. "Can you believe this? A celeb coming to our school?" He scoffed with an eye roll. "Probably a publicity stunt or some stupid thing." Wendy chuckled and opened her mouth to reply but Ms. Clarion interfered. "Everyone, quiet please!" The room fell quiet, but not entirely silent with some of the girls giggles still audible. "I want all of you to be respectable and please...please contain your selves!"  

Peter opened the door like a giddy little kid only to see an empty hallway. He rose a sharp eye brow in confusion but shrugged, smile back. He walked down the hall to the principal's office and stopped mid way when he heard noise from two big doors. He thought for a second and went in but as soon as he did the whole school's eyes were silently on him and he just sheepishly waved. Also a big mistake. Basically all the girls squealed and all the dudes whooped. Peter almost went deaf but waved politely with a nervous smile, then spotted Wendy and Jane laughing their heads off. He smiled and rushed over to them, making everyone scream even more when Peter rapped his arms around their shoulder (which slightly startled them). "Peter! You imbecile! You scared me half to death!" Wendy laughed out while Jane just, well, laughed! 

Oh, what an interesting rest of the school year this would be!
