Peter Pan

Did anyone ever ask Wendy what her take was on her adventures with Peter Pan? Well I think they should have. We all know the story about the boy who doesn't want to grow up. But what we don't know is the story of the girl who falls for his boyish charm. 


The story goes as I know it, that Peter stumbles upon Wendy while listening to stories outside her window. In other words, he found her. He persuades Wendy to come to Neverland in the hopes she will tell more stories. Through their interactions and wild adventures, she begins to have  strong feelings for Peter. They play this game like nothing is happening between them while Tinker Bell tries to keep them apart, because she too feels the same as Wendy does for Peter. Wendy begins to see the light and remembers where she came from. As the story goes, Wendy leaves Neverland and Peter stays, never growing up, because he is afraid they will keep him and turn him into a man. O Peter, but  Wendy doesn't want too to turn you into a man. Peter's boyish ways are what she fell for to begin with and would never want to change that. 


But Peter promises to come back and visit Wendy in the summer. Wendy is left waiting and saying, "You won't forget to come for me, Peter? Please, please don't forget." Wendy does wait for Peter every summer, but she moves on finding what Peter couldn't  give her. However, Peter keeps his promise but continues bring others to Neverland to company him. 


O Wendy, how hard it can be to care for a boy who doesn't want to grow up.  But maybe we feel the way we do, because we see a little piece of us in Peter and we long for  Neverland ourselves.  We all take the same fairy dusk to get where we want to go and for the journey of love.
