Chapter Text
"Where are we going, Mom?" Cherry asked as she sat next to her mother in the plane they were in.
"London," Michelle replied. "We're going to visit your cousins, and Aunt Mary and Uncle George."
"Are any of my cousins my age?" Cherry wondered.
"The girl Wendy is a little bit older than you," Bud replied. "But John is your age, and Michael is younger."
"I hope I have fun..." Cherry glanced out the window, seeing London's fog come into view.
"I'm sure you will, dear, why don't you take a nap?" Michelle suggested. "We'll wake you when we get there."
"Okay Mom." Cherry smiled, yawned, then fell asleep in her seat on the plane.
The plane traveled carefully and gently made it to the runway in under an hour. Cherry felt her mother gently shaking her, pulling her out of her dreamland and come back into reality. Cherry looked to see that it was very dark and cloudy outside as she went out with her parents to get to the Darling house.
"Mom, is it going to rain?" Cherry asked.
"No Cherry," Michelle chuckled. "It's always dark and gloomy in London."
"I like it." Cherry smirked at the rather depressing atmosphere.
"Come now, let's do some exploring and meet your aunt and uncle." Bud took Cherry's left hand while Michelle took the right and they were all on their way to see the adventures they could possibly have in London.
They saw Big Ben, rode a trolley, met some people, even got to wave to the Queen. It was truly extraordinary and Cherry felt like she would love this little visit to her distant cousins and other relatives. Bud, Michelle and Cherry then took a ride heading to the Darling house as it was getting late and close to bedtime. George and Mary met Cherry with her parents.
"Oh, you must be little Cherry." Mary smiled, nearly kneeling to the girl's height.
"Uh-huh," Cherry replied. "It's nice to meet you, Aunt Mary."
"Nice to meet you, too." Mary then put an arm around George. "This is your uncle, George."
"Good day." Cherry smiled and gave a shy wave.
"Come on, let's get you inside before it gets too late." George led the family inside.
Eventually Cherry met Wendy, John and Michael. Not to mention Nana, the house dog who acted like a nanny to the children. The children spent all day talking and getting to know each other and Cherry was influenced from Wendy's stories about someone she had never heard of before: Peter Pan. Before everyone knew it, it was late night out and George and Mary were going to take Bud and Michelle out for the evening while the children would stay home, but before they would sleep, Cherry and the boys were playing a Peter Pan game while Wendy was getting settled for bed.
