This is a Peter Pan adventure, which doesn't revolve solely around Peter Pan. It involves most other important characters and explains the future, or more specifically, the present of Neverland, depending on which way you look at it. Peter has aged to seventeen over the past one hundred years since the story first got out. Back then he was thirteen. How did this come about? This is where you need to read, as it explains a few of the more bizarre facts in the following story. Peter and the Lost Boys never grow up while they are in Neverland. As soon as they come back they grew up. This means that Peter grows up a little bit – only a few minutes or hours, mind – every time he comes back to the real world. Peter came back enough times over one hundred years to age four years. There's one little glitch which work's to Peter's favor; Peter is seventeen, meaning that he is aged the year before adults stop taking responsibility for children as children. Neverland knows this, and has clipped him. This means that he will never age again, lest he become an adult – and we can't have that, can we?
The Lost Boys are still the originals, of course – just a little bit older. So why aren't the Lost Boys four years older too? Well, how many times did the Lost Boys go back to the real world, even with Peter Pan to get a new Lost One? Not very many, I assure you of that now. The Lost Boys have aged about a year at the most – Slightly is nearly fourteen, the second oldest but being caught up by Big Twin, who is just thirteen, plus small Twin and Curly who are twelve. Slightly still holds a bit of a grudge at the fact that Nibs is fourteen now, and though he isn't going to grow much older, he still holds this fact against Peter Pan's second in command. Tootles is nine, and still has his trademark black eye. The pirates have not left Neverland in one hundred years, and are stuck at the age that they were when they came.
A witch, who shall remain unnamed as you may already know who it was, cast a spell which backfired – she tried to make all those that came to Neverland age to their dying day within a week, but ended up shifting Neverland into a time warp. When a child leaves the real world for Neverland, time grinds to a halt and this is why they can now stay for months on end without parents getting worried or shutting their children out. The only problem is if the child dies in Neverland. Will this happen? Soon to find out…
