// all children grow up...except one. //
Falling, falling, falling. It seemed endless. The deathly waters below drew nearer and nearer. "And now, we wait for the splash!" I heard the Captain shout victoriously. They were waiting for me to die. I squeezed my eyes shut, preparing to collide violently with the ocean, but it never came. Just then, I felt a slender arm slip about my waist in mid -air and sweep me away just before I met my brutal fate. The smell of forest filled my nose. "Peter!" I said, opening my eyes. My heart raced. He was alive. He was here. He had saved my life. "Wendy," he said affectionately, "I found you." A boyish grin crossed his fragile lips and his eyes glowed with adventure. I was so petrified by his sudden appearance that all I could do was collapse into his arms as we soared through around the boat. Overwhelming love sunk into me. All I could think was that I was never letting go of this boy and I would never grow up.
