Peter's POV

Yeah, a business trip.

I just used that as an excuse to go to London to get something for my sister since she misses it. I wanted to surprise her so I decided to leave before she could wake up. I didn't want her questioning me.

Anyways, it's been a while since I have been to London. That city just brings back old memories that I prefer not to remember. It's hard to believe that this city was once my home, but it's true.

I mean I do have a British accent.

" Can I help you find anything, sir? " , a nice old lady asked me.

" I'm just looking. " , I shrugged with my hands shoved into my pocket.

" I can see that. Buying a gift for yourself or a special someone? " , she questioned me

" For my sister. " , I nodded

" Awe, how sweet. " , she lightly chuckled.

" Yeah, she...moved to another country so she always tells me how much she misses London. " , I said

" Awe, well I suggest these snow globes. " , she pointed to the row near me. " There are different buildings that represent London, so I'm sure you can find one that she would like. "

A snow globe. That doesn't sound bad for a gift.

" Thank you for the suggestion. " , I said politely

" You're welcome. " , she gave me a warm smile before leaving me alone.

I glanced at the many different styles of the snow globes that wer available. There were different sizes with many colorful decorations and styles. One too many to choose for Petra.

The search was on when I decided to take my time going through each snow globe, so I could get the perfect one for Petra. I really wanted to get her a nice one since I adore my sister...well I do when she isn't annoying.

After a couple of minutes, I sighed with disappointment when there wasn't that perfect snow globe for Petra. I frowned because I really wanted to buy one for her that was special.

Each snow globe was put back in its place on the shelf and I found myself walking with empty hands. This was the fifth gift shop that I have been to and I still haven't found the perfect gift for her. I was about to walk out of the gift shop when something from the corner of my eye caught my attention.

A small girl that looked about six years old was staring at the collection of snow globes that I passed by a few minutes ago. I slowly turned back around and stepped into the same aisle to pretend to look at something so it wouldn't seem suspicious. From the corner of my eyes, I observed the small girl and saw her pick out a snow globe and examine it.

" Stacy, let's get going on, honey. " , a mother spoke softly as she approached her daughter.

The small girl didn't move since the snow globe grabbed her attention instead.

" Stacy. " , the mother repeated her name.

" Mum, why is the Big Ben so important? " , she asked

" Honey, it's an old clock tower. Just a historical place to see. " , her mother said

" Did you know that the Big Ben is in the disney Peter Pan? " , she asked with a smile on her face.

" No, I didn't know. " , she shook her head.

" It's a special tower because at night it reveals the stars to Neverland. " , she giggled softly.

" Neverland. " , the mother lightly chuckled. " Such a cute imagination you have there. "

" It's real, mum. " , the small girl confirmed as she placed the snow globe somewhere randomly on a shelf.

" Well it's all based on belief. " , the mother nodded before taking her daughter's hand. " Now let's get going before it rains. "

Then the small girl left with her mother.

I picked up the snow globe that was put aside and held it in my hands. It was a nice size for snow globe that held the Big Ben Tower inside of it. The Big Ben Tower stood proud and tall with a short narrow street displayed in front of it and " snow " surrounding it. I shook the snow globe and watched as little flakes of the " snow " fell down throughout the globe. Under the snow globe was a label that read:

                      BIG BEN TOWER
            Westminster, London, England

A small smile was formed on my face when I realized that the small girl was indeed clever.

I made my way to the cashier and placed the snow globe down to present my item. The nice old lady gave me a warm smile as she started to click on buttons on the machine.

" I see that you found your sister a nice gift. " , she said

" Yeah. It took a while, but I found the perfect one. " , I stated

She picked up the snow globe and glanced at it.

" Big Ben Tower? " , she questioned me

" Yeah. Her favorite disney movie is Peter Pan and well the Big Ben Tower is featured in it " , I shortly explained.

" Clever boy. " , she chuckled lightly before bagging up my gift.

" Thanks. " , I smiled slightly.

" That will be eleven pounds. " , she announced

I took out money from my pocket and handed it to her.

" Keep the change. " , I said before grabbing the bag.

See, not all villians are cruel. I can be a nice guy sometimes.

" Thank you. Have a nice day. " , she waved at me

" You too. " , I waved back before leaving her store.

I couldn't wait to see the look on Petra's face when I give her the gift.
