“Wendy, come here darling,” Wendy heard her mother call.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOgjx4E5HY
“One moment mother!” Wendy called. “Then, Captain Hook raised his sword and was about to bring it down on Peter Pan’s chest when…”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqDPW57K94
“Wendy Darling come at once!” her mother called again.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnyVFv8E6f
“Quick finish the story Wendy,” said Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ4ki82YEx
“I’ll have to leave you in suspense Michael. I’ll be right back,” she said and kissed his head.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMN4qkgJW9
Wendy Darling smoothed out her white dress and straightened the blue bow around her waist. She hurried down the stairs and fixed her curls.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxIvWXnRqk
“Mother?” she called.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP17iFfqtH
“In the family room dear,” her mother responded.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouxPsutd5h
She walked in and saw that Mary and George Darling were both sitting down and were looking at her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7te5mLqhPI
“Have I done something wrong?” Wendy asked cautiously.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxn9aNt03o
“No dear of course not,” said Mrs. Darling and she stood and took Wendy’s hands and led her to the chair next to hers. “Your father and I have been talking dear.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVkeHiy45k
“About what?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n6A32EnQR
“About you and how beautiful you are…and how you’ve grown up quite a bit. You are sixteen now, and that is a very wonderful age to be,” said her mother.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg7v4CfIfG
“It doesn’t feel any different from other ages,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMll9urpAsy
“Wendy dear, when I was your age I met your father and we were married a few months later. We were both wondering if you maybe had any proposals from anyone,” Mrs. Darling wondered.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyZerZmCT5
“Proposals? To marry?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYJqc5bexu
“Yes darling, or just any gentlemen who have tried to woo you.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCidkG7YrCO
Just outside of the window, Peter Pan watched Wendy and her parents closely. He always watched and listened. He was never seen or heard.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmSuybPNT5
“N-no,” Wendy said. “And I don’t want any. I’m not ready to be married mother.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbKpT4t70c
“Marriage is for grownups,” mumbled Peter sourly. He didn’t want Wendy to grow up ever. He would never admit it to anyone, but he had a very big crush on Wendy Darling. Was it her blonde hair? Her blue eyes maybe? No, it was everything about her. Her hair, her eyes, her quirky personality. He had a crush on it all. So to Peter, thinking that his Wendy could belong to some other man made him sour.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYTaap5IXj
“Well it’s high time that you start to think about it young lady,” said Mr. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6uJmVfx2q
“But father, I-I can’t,” Wendy said. “I-I’m saving myself.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrq5cCFBT1
Peter leaned a bit closer to the window so he could hear what exactly Wendy was saying. Tinkerbell flew up to him and listened with him.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YMVRb5I9N
“For who Wendy?” asked Mrs. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX1YjfIxML
Wendy looked down. She knew that Peter Pan was listening. She could feel his presence. He never showed himself to her. She hasn’t seen him since their adventure in Neverland. “Y-you don’t know him,” said Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VRhhfFRNr
“Give us a name at least,” said Mrs. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi6cK3teyH
Peter looked at Tink then back at Wendy. Who could she possibly be saving herself for? Who could be better than Peter Pan?
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3GBxfVhfB
Wendy looked up at her parents, “Peter Pan.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJac25awSRb
Tink jingled angrily and Peter turned a deep shade of red. But he couldn’t help but smile.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMvNDGyja9
Mr. Darling scowled and Mrs. Darling sighed.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls2PokUuSS
“Peter Pan? Peter Pan? It’s always Peter Pan. That is your answer to everything. Peter Pan is not real Wendy. How many times must we tell you?” demanded Mr. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnj0gwFJ50
Peter did not like Mr. Darling one bit. Mr. Darling was the exact definition of a grown up. He was so strict and never had any fun.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0W7FISUnD
“But he is real father. John, Michael, and I went to…” started Wendy before her father cut her off.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d1wtIsSWl
“Neverland and fought with Captain Crook and flew around with pixie dust!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpzMA6uEhA
“It’s actually Captain Hook father,” Wendy corrected.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAutfssvJ8
“Whatever! It’s the same things over and over Wendy. It’s over, done, forever. If you speak the name Peter Pan again, I’ll send you straight to the asylum, maybe they will put reality into your head.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT54Qt4xVGc
“George!” yelled Mrs. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WiwOyBQKd
Peter turned red from anger and he tried to open the window but little Tinkerbell held him back.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9r5ytXYvR
“Peter no! You promised!” jingled Tinkerbell.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROzzw9HJDr
“I don’t know what else to do Mary. I mean it Wendy. Say Peter Pan just one more time, or Neverland, or pixie dust, or Captain Hook and off to the hospital you go!”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmWioRyWsn
“Please father, don’t do this. Don’t take this away from me,” Wendy begged.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsHj5WU90D
“My decision has been made.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC7vjZlsVV
Tears welled in Wendy’s eyes and they fell out and splashed onto the rug. “Yes sir,” Wendy said quietly and then she ran out of the room and up into her bedroom.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssKw5QwQPb
Peter flew back to Wendy’s window and Tinkerbell followed.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ModwRKuGf
Wendy collapsed onto her bed and buried her face in her pillow and she wept.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIrZAJNkBl
Wendy no longer lived in the nursery and John was going to move out of it next year. Michael would be alone in the nursery. But he would still have Nana to keep him company.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P3M4e9npu
Wendy heard the door open and John and Michael walked in with Nana trailing behind them.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56PUQWt8cn
“Wendy?” asked Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2rAUSLmXl
She sat up and wiped her eyes.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDz2gUqIJ3
“Will you finish the story Wendy?” asked Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQJmK7VKTV
Peter thought the little boy was right. He wanted to hear the rest of the story too. Wendy couldn’t possibly listen to her grown up father. She loved telling stories about Peter Pan.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUvfoCNaoJ
“Michael, you know what father said,” said John.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK8az8bZSt
“You both heard?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMINbITgPcr
John nodded sadly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64qnUsgy6H
“But what about the story?” Michael asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksryVIKbaW
Wendy smiled and cupped his cheeks in her hands. “You know how the story ends Michael. Why don’t you tell me?” she asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aJLMbrSR1
“Peter Pan wins doesn’t he?” asked Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5LvmsYXgK
“Good always wins,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexRtM3MYHO
“Then you will be able to tell us Peter Pan stories. Because you’re good, and good always wins,” said Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCje2asq9uo
Wendy looked at John. He shook his head sadly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78JHIyoQ06
“I’m sorry Michael…I…I can’t,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ITjaKUu9M
Peter felt complete despair wash over him and he took off flying so fast that Wendy’s window flew open.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgJgkAgY9X
Wendy gasped as the shutters hit the wall. The cold night air flew inside, but that was all. She walked over to the window and looked outside. She knew that Peter was upset with her. But what was she supposed to do?
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdZEsc6rmn
“Is it Peter, Wendy?” asked John.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UlEtNxR6A
Wendy sighed and looked at the second star. Then she grabbed the handle of the window and pulled it closed.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hOlB0SZLB
“Not anymore John,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRsu6gvyZq
<>
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh58evJWv7
Peter flew with Tinkerbell following close behind. He was angry. How could Wendy just stop telling stories about him? He was hurt and offended…but he was mostly upset because now he didn’t have a good enough reason to see Wendy. The Lost Boys would get suspicious with why he visited Wendy all the time.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcCaMQ1bxk
“Peter slow down! Perhaps this is for the best. Wendy is growing up,” jingled Tinkerbell.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdB01Vqq14
“I don’t care Tink. I like hearing Wendy’s stories. They’re all about me,” he said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFDtDAhoDO
They flew into the second star and Neverland opened in front of them. Captain Hook’s ship was anchored in the water and a rainbow stretched over the island.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAmwMDnH0L
Peter flew towards the treehouse. Then he dropped down into the tree and was immediately attacked by the Lost Boys.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9NH13OxCO
“Peter, Peter! What did Wendy say? How does the story end?” they asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinAMTsUNfW
“All right you block heads line up and I’ll tell you,” Peter said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65O9XQOlgE
The boys instantly lined up and looked at Peter eagerly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHbKofU3ss
“I won,” Peter said simply.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebI2DqJI1C
“That’s it?” asked Slightly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1C1HojAn6
“Yup, she said Peter Pan won,” he said. “Now I’m going to devise plans on how to get those pirates. Do not bother me.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNn0chE0x3
“What if there’s an emergency?” asked Nibs.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEnE3gL4d7
“Yeah like what if the tree house catches on fire?” asked Cubby.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw9q4TEUUv
“Then you’ll all have to burn,” Peter said with a wicked grin.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISOgKdLb7U
The boys looked at each other then back at Peter. He laughed and walked into his room.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNebqdfu4D
Peter plopped down on his bed and Tinkerbell flew in and looked at him.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRAgJilxY2
“Peter…are you okay?” she asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0yO6WAm5m
“Do I look okay Tink?” Peter asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc36775fbhN
She flew over and sat on his pillow next to his head.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqcrCw7dPZ
“Do you want to talk about it Peter?” asked Tinkerbell.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKP7WPSDlj
“No, go away Tink,” Peter said and rolled over so he didn’t face her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EHBgcNbqW
Peter heard Tink flutter away and he was alone. Peter reached over and picked up Wendy’s kiss. It was a thimble, but Peter thought it was a kiss. He held it close and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

“Cat is to mouse as dog is to…anyone class?” asked Wendy’s teacher Miss Jane.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSxAwXUw7r
Miss Jane was Wendy’s favorite teacher. She was beautiful and very nice. Wendy wondered if Miss Jane had ever been to Neverland. She had a glow in her eyes that one could only get if they have seen Neverland.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAphEEpdj4q
A girl in Wendy’s class named Clara raised her hand.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTWv5crgb1
“Yes Clara?” asked Miss Jane.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJKaCyYOJF
“Bone,” she answered with a grin.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56AxND0sPo
“Well done Clara,” said Miss Jane. “Now, I am going to hand back your creative writing papers. You all have promising futures as writers if you so choose to become one. Pick it up on your way out of the door.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYmI4Eduro
Everyone stood and rushed to grab their papers, then they left. Wendy was the last one to leave. She was putting her books into her bag.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkgh8a98Du
“Wendy Darling,” said Miss Jane.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeddLp0HTvk
“Yes ma’am?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrCKuiI00U
“Your paper was the most interesting one that I read,” she said and walked over to Wendy and handed her her paper. She got an A plus on it.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVu9waod5G
“Thank you ma’am,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQGbYp3ILK
“So, is Peter Pan based off of someone you know?” she asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B0p3hYy0y
“Not really. He’s his own person,” Wendy said. She smiled to herself as she thought about Peter.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfLgsWxTYh
“I see, a boy who lives in a land called Neverland and he doesn’t age. It has promise Wendy…would you ever think of publishing a book?” asked Miss Jane.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVt2jNjBXD
“No ma’am. I’m afraid that I’m done telling stories about Peter Pan,” Wendy said sadly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimhDAeq1rC
“Really? Whatever for?” she asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn7HEp5tZQ
Wendy sighed and looked down. “Well, father doesn’t like me telling them.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRlEdtaIti
“I see,” said Miss Jane and she walked over to her desk and sat down. “Come Wendy.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AuJp2BRqF
Wendy walked over to her desk. Miss Jane opened her drawer and took out a needle then she looked back up at Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpbj5I6ABJ
“Wendy, do you know what this is?” she asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0EzE9cOhb
“It is a needle ma’am,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs04ka9SB2
“Are you sure?” she asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloTPd0jYn7
“Yes…I’m quite sure,” Wendy said. She was starting to get confused. Was Miss Jane seeing something different than she was?
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxngrMGZrR2
“It couldn’t possibly be anything else?” she asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS7fG6wxh7
“Well…it could be a weapon of some sort,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyBHrQoYFd
“A weapon? What kind?” she asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaizJeXAdpa
“I don’t know ma’am. It’s tiny, so it wouldn’t really be a very useful weapon,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihKbUcQya2
“You’re absolutely right. What do you think could use a weapon like this?” she asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcN1bgUbBO
Wendy responded simply, “Well, a fairy could use it. Tinkerbell would definitely use that to fight off any pirates.” Wendy widened her eyes and realized what she just said. Miss Jane was sure to tell her father. Then she would be in big trouble.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ywiiINlBj
Miss Jane smiled and put the needle away. “You, Wendy, have what most people call an overactive imagination. It means that what you create becomes reality to you. Most people don’t understand that this is a gift. You are very talented and I’m sure your father will see that one day. Don’t give up on Tinkerbell or the Lost Boys or Peter Pan. You have a gift Wendy Darling. You should use it.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGivbwsSOG
Wendy looked down but then she smiled and looked back up at Miss Jane. “Thank you ma’am,” she said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvTaCv9sAh
Miss Jane laughed a little, “Now run along dear.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh8LBtzSLS
Wendy nodded and rushed out of the classroom.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD04jUi8zk
Wendy was supposed to walk home with John and Michael every day. They were waiting for her outside of the school.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvGozPJjqi
“Wendy! Where have you been?” asked John.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfr9EmB8Xa
“Miss Jane had a conversation with me,” she said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCO4FWLIy9
“Are you in trouble?” asked John.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLytoUf1xa
She smiled, “The opposite actually.” She took Michael’s hand and they all walked towards their house.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInPuiu6hBd
“You’re in a good mood Wendy,” said Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Mi3l2rU4
“It’s a beautiful day Michael, I should be happy. You know what would be a great thing to do on a day like today?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15S7nDHUJO
“What?” asked John and Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyoV6pfsOI
“Flying!” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlWpEwhRsZ
Michael and John looked at each other then laughed. They all spread our arms and ran down the street and pretended they were flying.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GKH8UKIqi
“Oh no! Look out John! A pirate is coming for you!” Wendy called and pointed to a man in a nice suit and top hat heading toward them.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc0MKGyPyw
“No pirate can ever beat me!” cried John and they all laughed. John “flew” over to the man and skillfully snatched the top hat off of his head. He put it on his own head and Michael and Wendy laughed.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP2fU0FDZ8
The man kept walking as if nothing happened. He didn’t even realize his hat was gone.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCvdV0FrOR
“Wendy, Wendy, let’s fly to the park!” shouted Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqsqPCXJqI
“A very good idea Michael, come on John!” Wendy called. They “flew” to the park and ran around in the grass.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6kxuURqa4
They laughed and flew around and played. Then they grew tired and they all lay on their backs and laughed some more and looked up at the blue sky.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreg2Hy86Nd
“Wendy, does this mean you will tell more Peter Pan stories?” asked Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hr4sFkBZ4
“Yes Michael, I can’t possibly stop telling you stories,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdy7aHu7Fd
Little did any of the children know that Mr. Darling had seen them enter the park, so he went over to greet them. But he heard what Wendy had said about telling Peter Pan stories, his face grew red and he soon became blinded by rage.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfDTQGXvEZ
“Is that so?” asked Mr. Darling once he walked over to Wendy and the boys.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVamlcO856
Wendy gasped and she and the boys all sat up and stared at their father who was standing before them with his arms crossed.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ecQmrMzSN
“Father,” Wendy said and she and the boys stood up quickly. Wendy smoothed out her gray uniform dress and her white apron.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhrHzZQp6Y
John and Michael stood close to their sister. They all awaited what Mr. Darling would say.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J0y5F2paV
“I warned you Wendy…now you leave me no choice,” he said. He was so angry he couldn’t even think straight. He was tired of the childish games that his daughter played. It was fine when she was a child, but she is growing up. She needs to move on from these childhood games. People would start to think that Wendy Darling is a crazy loon. George couldn’t have that.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH3GFceJHw
“No father no!” yelled Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhghglGKDea
Wendy felt her stomach drop and her heartbeat quicken.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AiAzCuq5i
“Come with me young lady. John, take your brother home,” said Mr. Darling and he grabbed Wendy’s hand.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVds3uIUKp
“Father please,” said John.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3pgSJ1spl
“That’s an order young man,” he snapped at John.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5e6qhM79D
John looked at Wendy with sorrow then he nodded and took Michael’s hand. John knew that Mrs. Darling would never allow this. So he decided to rush home and tell his mother straight away. He had to save Wendy!
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiNrYdw3AF
Mr. Darling led Wendy away.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIh5VY7qDU
“Please father. Please don’t do this. I can’t just stop telling Peter Pan stories. I have a gift for telling them. Miss…” started Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfNDOH1JDI
“Not another word Wendy. I mean it!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kx2GhW51A
Wendy’s eyes filled with tears and they spilled over. The sky suddenly turned gray with clouds and Wendy and Mr. Darling both felt raindrops fall onto their noses. They walked up to the street.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2DttkjoYO
“Taxi!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ8hdi3CJ7
A horse and buggy stopped in front of them and Wendy climbed into it and Mr. Darling followed in after her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBq9lp9B5o
“To the hospital,” said Mr. Darling. It started to downpour and Wendy put her head in her hands and sobbed. “Come now Wendy stop that,” snapped Mr. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNVe1xKGuA
Wendy couldn’t stop. She was terrified and she was never going to be able to even think of Peter Pan anymore.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XVvvzG1Wh
“Wendy, something has to be done! I don’t know what else to do,” said Mr. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2F49LALzd
The taxi pulled up next to the hospital and Mr. Darling helped Wendy out. They walked into the hospital and Mr. Darling led her to the front desk.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BNILwAPpR
“Can I help you?” asked a woman.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvKrevJ3tr
“Yes, my daughter needs help. Is there someone I can see for fixing her mind?” Mr. Darling asked. His face was red and he was still furious. He still had the idea in his head that people would call his daughter a crazy loon and then they would start to call him a crazy loon. It would ruin him.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYTXKkwy20
“Uh, do you mean her mental health?” asked the woman.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX45MvnmW8E
“Yes.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQBZTXXNFg
“Right…Doctor Burns could help you,” she said and pointed to a man in a white coat. He had no hair except for three gray strands. His eyes were dark and cold.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p1QOa1pdH
Mr. Darling grabbed Wendy’s hand and walked up to Doctor Burns.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Q27jTRxc
“Are you Doctor Burns?” he asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fj8Cf587z
“Yes sir, can I help you?” he asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15x2UT0amZ
“Not me, my daughter. She’s gone mad! All I ever hear is Peter Pan!” shouted Mr. Darling. He was the one acting mad here.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX6LwCzV2G
“Ah, an overactive imagination yes?” asked the Doctor and he smiled at Wendy. He had a gold tooth and Wendy widened her eyes and shrank back. “We have a special program for such…illnesses.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt22CirfNNM
Wendy knew what this man was. He wasn’t a doctor. He must have been a pirate.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyHwLr3FhV
“Oh?” asked Mr. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt76tnItBA3
“Yes, follow me,” he said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLw09WJpEp
Mr. Darling and Wendy followed Doctor Burns to a door. He opened the door and they entered a room full of girls Wendy’s age. They all had white nightgowns on and some of them had knotted hair. Some looked absolutely terrifying.

Mr. Darling stopped suddenly and looked around. Then is hit him what he was doing. How could he have done this? George Darling knew he was wrong. His precious daughter didn’t belong here. Not at all. Mr. Darling stopped and Wendy almost ran into him. He turned to her and she looked at him. “Wendy…what am I doing?” he asked her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P22UiHwyz
“Father,” Wendy said and she rushed into his arms and sobbed.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwozfZvaeM4
“I-I’m so sorry Wendy. This isn’t right. You don’t belong here,” he said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhBNVUi4wu
“Problem sir?” asked Doctor Burns.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIke2W8yye
“Yes, my daughter doesn’t belong here. She isn’t crazy,” said Mr. Darling and he held Wendy’s hand tightly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq00HM67vjp
“Why such a sudden change of mind?” asked Doctor Burns.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ddNVl7aZl
“My daughter is perfectly normal. She just takes her stories too literally sometimes,” he said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeIwpJx1ll
“I see,” said Doctor Burns and he looked at Wendy and squinted his eyes. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of pills. “Give her two of these tonight. It will help.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzBXKveYGb
Mr. Darling took the pills, “What will they do?”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm8kSmBUyY
“They are simple relief pills. They will only relax her brain. She will sleep very well tonight,” said Doctor Burns and he gave Wendy a very scary smile.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xJ8X3yKz5
Mr. Darling nodded then he and Wendy rushed out of the hospital.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7URRpZjXQM
“Wendy will you ever forgive me?” asked Mr. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb5Uh9A1wt
“I don’t think it’s me you will need forgiveness from,” Wendy said. “Mother is going to be furious.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCRHJcdR3T
“You’re right about that,” said Mr. Darling.

“Wendy!” exclaimed Mrs. Darling once Wendy walked into the house. Mrs. Darling gathered her in her arms.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T5QQTuOG7
John and Michael rushed down the stairs and joined in on the hug. Nana jumped in as well.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlAX2FdSC0
Mrs. Darling looked up and the children themselves had never seen her look so mad in their lives.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTSvcztpg7
“George Darling! Have you gone absolutely mad?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm8AKvBrjD
“Now Mary, I admit that I was being a bit rash…” started Mr. Darling
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BqoNh0vlK
“A bit rash? Do you realize what you could have done to our daughter?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aOva2sSYv
“Now you listen here Mary. I admitted I was wrong. That is that, it’s over. Forget about it,” said George.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhpsgGMBK4
I could tell my mother wanted to yell more, but instead she kissed Wendy’s head and then marched up the stairs into her room.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgVFjoUUdT
“Run along to bed all of you. Oh and Wendy, I do want you to take two of these,” said Mr. Darling and he handed Wendy the pill bottle. “Nana, make sure she takes them.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdqU1Qvwin
Nana responded with a bark.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX4itz5gcz
John, Michael, and Wendy all walked up the stairs and they walked into Wendy’s room. Wendy placed the pills on her nightstand.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIE04sNZsz
“What happened Wendy?” asked John.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GXnNZqDz0
“Father was blinded by fury. He stormed me into the hospital and then we met this man, Doctor Burns,” Wendy said then she looked at the doorway and leaned in towards Michael and John. “I think he was a pirate.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6W7ck7PRN
“A pirate? What makes you say that?” asked John.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoHIExWvki
“His cold, dark eyes looked at me in a terrifying way. And he had a solid gold tooth in his mouth,” she said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXtQfVmSub
“A gold tooth?” asked Michael. “I don’t remember seeing a pirate with a gold tooth.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZITV1lroI
“That’s what I was thinking. Maybe he’s a new pirate,” she said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUhNPtYi3M
Suddenly Nana rushed up to Wendy and barked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkelS98IyZ
“Oh fine,” she said. She walked back over to her night stand and grabbed the the pill bottle.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEMFhoI7TT
“No Wendy, if the pirate gave you those then you shouldn’t take them,” said Michael.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcrMMzSkTz
Wendy opened the bottle. The pills were white. “They look fine Michael, I’m sure that the most they would do is make me sleepy,” she said and poured the pills into her hand.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNYPTLK6hR
Nana balanced a tray on her head with a cup of water on it. Wendy took the cup and thanked her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzD4DmW2nd
She put the pills into her mouth and quickly gulped down the water. “Well, it’s better than castor oil,” Wendy said and gave John and Michael a smile.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDSk9sBuU8
They looked a bit suspicious.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHc8VQS5LC
“I’m fine, see?” Wendy asked. “Now, I’m going to change into my nightdress if you don’t mind.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9tw3sLKlY
But Wendy wasn’t fine. She was right about Doctor Burns being a pirate. He was sent to London specifically for Wendy. He was just waiting for her to come in.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPyCZSAwdO
John and Michael left and Wendy took off her school uniform and pulled her white night dress on. She took her hair out of all of the clips and it hung in blond curly waves down her back.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPIaDJth6w
Suddenly she started to feel…weird. She felt her eyes droop and her legs grew weak. Wendy tried to grab onto the side table for support but she fell to the ground anyway. Her eyes closed and everything went black.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq3bAIqYeH
Wendy immediately regretted her decision on taking the pirate’s pills.

Peter Pan woke up and realized that it was dark. He flew out of the treehouse and towards the second star. Perhaps Wendy had changed her mind.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuD3ym6avz
He was in London in no time and he flew over to Wendy’s window. It was dark in her room and no one was in there. He peeked in John and Michael’s room. They were sound asleep and Wendy wasn’t in there either.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRdqdutUDj
Peter raised an eyebrow then flew down to Mary and George Darling’s window. They were asleep too.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq09bA6q40f
Where was Wendy?
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP4mp6l52o
Suddenly something caught his eye. He looked down and saw Wendy walking on the sidewalk away from her house. She was bare-footed and dressed in a light green dress. The dress stopped just above Wendy’s knees, it was short which Peter found odd. None of the women in London wore dresses shorter than their ankles.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmaVM4PFmh
Peter flew down and watched Wendy from hidden places. She didn’t turn her head or even blink. Her eyes had some sort of white film over them. She just walked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wrpz1JuSe
Peter wanted to try and stop her, but he promised that he wouldn’t interact with Wendy or anyone else from London ever again.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowL4umViN9
Peter and Tinkerbell both made that promise together. It was no trouble for Tink, but it was harder for Peter. He became too attached to Wendy so he promised himself and Tink that he wouldn’t show himself to her again. He could just watch her from afar.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrMWTa1Apb
Wendy walked for blocks, then she finally stopped in front of a hospital. Peter flew onto the roof of the hospital and peeked over.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8yEWpfi0F
The door opened and a man walked forward towards Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR9WWPEpia
“Welcome back Wendy,” said the man in a harsh cruel voice.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTJ7uXQz6d
Wendy didn’t respond.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi44l1w4tBC
Another man came out and Peter narrowed his eyes. It was Hook. Peter could recognize that codfish anywhere.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kWtDvCmyt
“Ah yes, this is definitely her. Thank you for your service Mr. Larson,” said Hook. Then with one swipe with his hook he ripped Mr. Larson’s jugular out.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNxjV5Wpso
Peter reached into his belt and pulled out his dagger.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz7ckDVSVn
“It’s good to see you again Wendy. You have a friend in Neverland who is dying to see you,” said Hook. He walked up to Wendy and circled her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmzfRXWWaA
She didn’t move, she didn’t even blink. Wendy was under Mr. Larson’s sleep walking pill. Nothing could wake her up until morning.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiZUikS29U
Hook leaned in close to Wendy’s ear, “Peter Pan has been watching you Wendy. He fancies the girl he brought to Neverland. You will be perfect bait.” Hook’s hook dripped with blood and a drop landed on Wendy’s hand. It ran down her finger and then splashed onto the pavement.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtkp3Xrfxc
“Now then my dear, shall we?” asked Hook and he held up his arm. Wendy robotically took his arm and they walked away down the street toward the park.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ2dOaVJZ2
Peter put his dagger back into his belt and felt ashamed. He couldn’t bring himself to stop Hook. Because he secretly wanted Wendy to be back in Neverland. If Hook brought her there, then he didn’t break his promise.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTcKjv1gLG
Peter flew off the roof and back towards the second star. He would rescue Wendy, but he had to do it in a way so that he wouldn’t know that Wendy was in Neverland. His Wendy would have to endure Hook’s ship for a while.

Captain James Hook smiled and congratulated himself on his achievement. Who would have thought that Peter Pan would fancy someone? Wendy was a beautiful young girl. He couldn’t blame the boy for falling in love with her. It seemed like yesterday when the little brat refused to join his crew. She had grown since then.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ7Sow8bXJ
Hook was suddenly hit with a brilliant idea. He would try to get Wendy to join his side. She could become a pirate and fight Peter Pan. That would break his childish little heart.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KtFqFf7jv
Hook took out the small bottle of pixie dust he stole from Pixie Hollow and sprinkled it on himself. Then he picked up Wendy and threw her over his shoulder. Then off he flew to Neverland.

Wendy felt dizzy and she felt as though she were rocking back and forth when she woke up. She was lying in a big bed that wasn’t hers. She quickly sat up and yawned. Then she rubbed her eyes and looked around.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZfLu5Q8uK
She wasn’t in her room. She was in a room with a desk and chair and a red piano. There was also a large dining table with an array of food on it.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBh8GIapMH
She threw the covers off of her and stepped onto the wooden floor. Then the floor moved and she fell against the bed.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmygoLGbAC
“What is this?” asked Wendy. She looked down and realized what she was wearing. She grew red, her legs were exposed. She tried to pull the green dress down lower but it wouldn’t.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQeHvLOBQQ
She saw a window across from her and she rushed forward and pressed her hands against the window. She gasped as she saw the view.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXvXSFwk5n
She was in the ocean, on a boat. That explained the rocking. But the island ahead of her she could not deny was Neverland! Which meant that this ship belonged to…
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MSIMR3mhA
“Wendy, you’re awake,” said Hook from behind her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPijB8e1SMq
Wendy spun around and quickly grabbed the sword that was hanging on the wall. She held it in front of her and narrowed her eyes.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMD7wn3pZk
“Oh Wendy, my dear, why the sword? We are old friends aren’t we?” asked Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiv4WiGdFL
“Not at all. Why did you bring me here Hook?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirJlj7K6PP
“My dear sweet child, I brought you here because you needed to come here,” said Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwAmZP88NQ
“What?” asked Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TkHuH3NWO
“Come Wendy, sit, have some breakfast,” said Hook. He gestured to the table.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugVvEYOeeM
Wendy didn’t move.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtbB1c9AZt
“Very well my dear,” said Hook and he sat down and popped a grape into his mouth. “Wendy, dear sweet Wendy, I have a proposal for you.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RqAeN8Up4
“And what makes you think I’ll take it?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YtiFx618U
“Your parents,” said Hook and he poured red wine into a glass cup. “Your father took you to the hospital today. I understand it’s because of those…Peter Pan stories that you are always telling your siblings. He doesn’t believe that you were here with your brothers. Am I right?”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTWWA4DscX
“Yes, but father realized he was being rash and he brought me home,” Wendy said and gripped the sword. “And mother was against it from the start.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnAHIkW1qg
“Yes, but who’s to say that your father won’t lose his temper again and send you to the hospital permanently?” asked Hook. He sipped his wine. “Your mother wouldn’t be able to stop him. He is the man of the family. Whatever he says goes…am I wrong?”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkVIxlgGxX
Wendy didn’t say anything but her sword lowered a bit.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Cc94TzLs
Hook smiled and stood. He held his wine and walked towards her. “I’m not going to harm you Wendy. I’m here to offer you a life-time aboard my ship. You will be a pirate here just like the rest of my crew and you can tell all the Peter Pan stories you wish. Or, I will take you back to your home…where you cannot speak about Peter Pan.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3ISDzlHvd
Wendy completely lowered her sword and stared at Captain Hook. She knew he was lying. This was a trick of some sort…but, he was right. What if Mr. Darling did snap and send her to the hospital for good. Not telling Peter Pan stories was not an option either. Miss Jane even said that Wendy had a gift. This is what she wanted to do.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJWM02OJ79
“What do you say my dear?” asked Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMDlCeFver
Wendy looked at him and then spun around and put the sword back on the wall. “I’ll join your crew…but on one condition. I will never ever betray Peter or Tinkerbell or any of the Lost Boys should he come by here,” she said with a determined look on her face.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqxtgNZmx6
“Of course my dear,” said Hook. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a long parchment. He placed it on the desk and dipped his quill into the ink. He wrote down: Wendy Darling will join the crew of Captain James Hook on the ship the Jolly Rodger. She will be one of the crew and do as the crew does. However, she will not betray Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, or any of the Lost Boys. Then he signed it. “How does that look my dear?”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzncq1HcAkU
Wendy studied it then nodded. She took the quill from Hook and looked down at it. She hesitated then signed her name on the parchment: Wendy Moira Angela Darling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzePh8Bb2y
“Excellent my dear,” said Hook. “Now, come with me dear, I’ll get you some proper clothes to wear.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH24XHxAib
“Why am I in this dress?” asked Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08hxIUt5VK
“You were under a sleep walking spell. We didn’t want you to trip and fall,” said Hook simply.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYryY9EVVB
Wendy still felt uncomfortable. But she shrugged it off and hoped that she didn’t just make a very big mistake.

Peter and the Lost Boys were playing a game with the Indians. It was the hunting game that John, Michael, and the boys played.

“Peter, what should we do?” asked Cubby.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufvQ1Lb1CP
They were all hiding in the forest with their sling-shots at the ready.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmwnSUAYBn
“If you see one of the Indians, shoot them,” said Peter with a devilish smile.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvKEQXMdXJ
Suddenly the Lost Boys were attacked and tied up by the Indians. Even Peter was taken by surprise.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgwnmTYzJQ
“We win,” laughed Tigerlily.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbOdzuxkNj
“You got lucky this time,” laughed Peter. The Lost boys and the Indians laughed. The Indians released the Lost Boys and they all marched back to the Indian’s camp together and sang songs and pounded drums.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzubugWIW4
All this time it should have been fun. But Peter could only think about Wendy on the pirate ship. She must have been terrified. But he couldn’t rescue her until Hook made it clear that she was on board.

Wendy sat at the other end of the table across from Hook. It was late and she was starving but she didn’t want to eat the food. She was still afraid.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvSHH2YKfS
Captain Hook gave her black pants and tall black boots as well as a white shirt that hung off of her shoulders as well as a black corset meant to be worn on the outside of the shirt. She also wore a maroon jacket that had gold buttons on it. Her curly hair lay in waves around her shoulders and she looked down at her plate. She wanted to eat it…she really did.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljLzAymkfP
“Wendy, please my dear, eat something. I can promise you that nothing is poisoned. Captain James Hook always keeps his word. I wouldn’t ever poison my crew…unless they deserved it,” said Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdpivgXzCy
Wendy picked up the bread and tore off a small piece and ate it. After a while, she took bigger chunks of it and ate it. It didn’t taste poisoned. She ate the bread, then he ate the chicken. She was stuffed after she ate the mashed potatoes.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRtRWE41tJ
“Trust me my dear, you are perfectly safe on this ship,” said Hook. “Now, I’ve been thinking about giving you another name other than Wendy.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFVRuH3F4u
“A different name?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvOp54wVEH
“Yes, Wendy doesn’t seem like a very terrifying name now does it?” asked Hook. “What was your full name again?”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4VIdkai0v
“Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89xYbjRiKm
Captain Hook tapped his silver hook against his chin thoughtfully. “How about we just call you Moira. Doesn’t it mean sea of bitterness or sorrow? A sad name, but perfect for a pirate. A pirate life is a lonely life my dear.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVfgPh6ONu
Wendy thought about it. To just call herself Moira? She didn’t see what was wrong with it. She’s always loved the name Moira.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYfDks7zwd
“Very well then. Just call me Moira,” said Wendy, er, Moira.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZQSKyi2mH
“Excellent my dear. Excellent, are you finished? I think it’s a good time for a story. What do you think?” Captain Hook asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK5Cqx0ADS
Moira couldn’t help but smile and nod.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmk2AqSDq9
Hook escorted her out of the cabin and onto the deck.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ejHXQNNgr
“Mr. Smee! Moira, our newest member of the crew, is going to tell us a story. Alert the crew,” said Hook to the squeamish, bumbling, man known as Mr. Smee.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh5oY4JAYt
“Y-yes Cap’n!” said Smee and he turned to the crew member. “A-attention everyone! Moira is going to tell a story! Everyone be quiet!” Smee commanded.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCC40OnQt8
The crew member laughed and sat themselves down in front of me.

“Take it away my dear Moira,” said Hook and he bowed and stood against the stair banister.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktBiA1byhO
“Well, what would you all like to hear?” Moira asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HuZdRSQWu

Tigerlily walked over and sat next to him.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53hywfB6QH
“You are distracted,” she said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zROHNZHIg
Peter laughed and shook his head. “I’m not distracted. I’m just observing the fire.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaMcGahTaw
“You are distracted…by what?” asked Tigerlily.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sxOW6TdxZ
Peter sighed. Tigerlily was one of his close friends. Ever since he saved her from drowning, they had had this special bond. So, he stood and helped her to stand. Then he took her hand and they walked off into the forest.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEIj5oL0Ed
Once they were far enough in, Peter looked at Tigerlily and squinted his eyes. “What I’m about to tell you is top secret. If you tell anyone, I’ll hang you from your toes,” he said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72cOaHsMpn
Tigerlily smiled and zipped her lips.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraqKEtisvq
“I’ve been seeing Wendy. I’ve been going to London and listening to her stories,” said Peter.

Tigerlily smiled and laughed a little, “Everyone know that, you go, listen to her stories then come back and tell them to the Lost Boys.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvyiQkzCx9
“Yeah, well, that’s not all,” said Peter. He told her about what he had seen the night before with Wendy sleep walking and Hook kidnapping her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNjdMcURjI
“So Wendy is in Neverland on Hook’s ship right now?” asked Tigerlily once Peter was finished.

“Why do you not rescue her?” asked Tigerlily.

“I promised myself and Tink that I wouldn’t make myself known to her. It would be too hard,” said Peter.

“But Little Flying Eagle, Wendy needs you. She is on Hook’s ship. Who knows what he is doing to her?” asked Tigerlily.

“I’ll rescue her eventually,” said Peter and he took off his hat and wrung it in his hands.

Peter decided not to return. He put his hat back on and flew towards Mermaid Lagoon. He landed on one of their rocks and the mermaids soon rose up and beamed.

“Peter! How good to see you,” said Aqua, the red haired mermaid.

“Of course,” said Aqua.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEUvGefeOq
“I need you to go to Hook’s ship…” started Peter.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKXvRolMUZ
“Hook?” asked all of the mermaids and they instantly became terrified.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXhBi6zEgk
“Yes, please, someone may need my help. I just need you to check and see if there is a girl on the ship…her name is Wendy.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhWrOlt0Bg
“Wendy?” asked Aqua.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtpWvb8haT
“That name does sound familiar doesn’t it?” asked Shelly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTekOhM8Y8
Pearl gasped and said, “That was the little girl in the blue dress! Remember, we tried to down her.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShGGiliY7t
The mermaids giggled and I snickered. That was pretty funny, but Wendy sure didn’t think so.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4pEr8PkjM
“Why would we do this Peter? The girl is absolutely disturbing,” said Shelly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXuawcObBX
The other mermaids nodded in agreement.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fSyul8ZU7
“Please girls, she could be in big trouble,” Peter said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x6dRcVac5
“No way Peter. We will not risk our lives for some…little girl,” said Pearl.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnIUt0PWA7
Peter frowned then smiled as an idea bloomed in his mind.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYzeoGvruf
“I’ll give you some of the gems from Hook’s treasure. They would look beautiful on all of you,” said Peter.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8RE3lqvbk
The mermaids looked thoughtful. Pearl and Shelly looked to Aqua who was kind of the leader of the group.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyzYbqa8KF
Aqua sighed the nodded, “Very well Peter. We will listen for Wendy in return for some of Hook’s jewels.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aa4vX8tZe
“Thanks ladies,” said Peter and he took off his hat and bowed to them.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoqv4uJOfu
They all giggled then dove back into the water and swam towards Hook’s ship.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFaNi2nWlI
Aqua led them under the ship and she turned to her sisters. “Just listen for Wendy’s name,” she said to them.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcPsv7z6Yo
Shelly and Pearl nodded.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hhhERHFku
They all slowly rose above the surface and moved their hair out of their faces.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2RFjc8Icr
“Well done Moira!” they heard Captain Hook cheer. The rest of the crew cheered and the mermaids listened close for the simple name…Wendy. They knew every name of the crew…but they had never heard Moira before.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoU4biV0hV
“Time for her to get to bed now,” said Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsdxzRLPgG
The crew booed and complained.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbkaCVricW
“Don’t worry. There’s always tomorrow,” said a girl. Hook didn’t have a crew member that was a girl. Could she have been Wendy? But they called her Moira. Perhaps Peter was mistaken.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHNmn04QaO
“Excellent. Our plan is working smoothly,” said Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdsTTNtowG
“I still don’t get the point Cap’n,” said one of the crew members.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloZOn5ijBI
The mermaids heard someone struggling for breath then a body flew down towards them. They all gasped and dove under the ship. They all looked and saw one of the crew members with blood oozing out of his neck sinking down into the depths of the ocean.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMRG7JvnHf
Aqua turned to her sisters.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMwcyghtNX
“We should go back Aqua. I think we have enough information,” said Shelly fearfully.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil7rY6kaf2
“Very well,” said Aqua and she and her sister raced back to Mermaid Lagoon.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIZHYdWhgf
They made it to the rock where Peter hovered cross-legged. They surfaced and Peter uncrossed his legs and landed on the rock.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGH3LmzYkI
“Hook has become more and more brutal Peter,” said Shelly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAox8FVcxK
“He just killed one of his crew members,” said Pearl.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTwEnXIBGM
“We have some news…but we don’t know if it will help,” said Aqua.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7W6wb4DAQ
“Was Wendy mentioned?” asked Peter.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsWGiYrTLX
Aqua shook her head.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLMJrjPE62
“She wasn’t?” asked Peter.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobot0NWnF9
“No, but a girl named Moira was. She was the only female crew member we had ever seen,” said Shelly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsigtRbdiFQ
“Right, we don’t know if it’s Wendy. But this Moira girl seems to be well protected by Hook. Also, we feel he is up to something. Be careful Peter,” said Aqua.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw9meIr7NW
“Moira?” asked Peter. “Okay, thanks. The treasure is hidden in the cave, take whatever you want.” Peter flew off and tried to think. Then he remembered how Wendy introduced herself when he first met her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9vauBrDeK
“My name is Wendy, Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” she had said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHtE8984rz
“Moira is Wendy,” Peter said to himself and he smiled. “That old codfish thinks he’s so smart. Don’t worry Wendy, a disguised name won’t fool me. Just hang in there a little longer.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFr6pTr1II

Wendy woke up the next morning and got out of bed and got dressed. There was a knock on her door as she was brushing her hair.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwE0mjOvhh
“Come in,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3O14ICwAK
“Hello Miss Moira,” said Mr. Smee.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ckpRsaJa
“Hello,” said Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEPeUhLBgd
“The Captain would like to see you for breakfast,” he said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qeU9W0BPS
Wendy nodded. “Tell him that I’ll be there in a moment,” she said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhg5Gzc8PG
“Yes ma’am,” said Mr. Smee and he left closing the door after him.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KUfrh2hcw
Wendy looked at herself in the mirror and smiled a bit. She hadn’t ever really thought of being a pirate, she kind of liked it. She had so much fun telling the story of Cinderella and the pirates actually paid attention to her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LrPMLvrNc
Then Wendy’s smile faded and her eyes widened. Something popped into her head. Something she didn’t even realize until right this second. She was a pirate. Pirates were the enemies of Peter Pan. So…she was betraying Peter now. The contract was void. She was in danger.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBoI6lJjMo
She quickly rushed over to the window and pushed it open. The sea was below her. She looked out and saw the island few miles away. She wished she had pixie dust handy. She quickly rushed over to the bed and ripped the sheets off and the comforter. She tied the end of the comforter to the bedpost and tied the sheets and other blankets together. She threw the sheet out the window and looked down.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc4MokTzos
That’s when she saw a small dinghy along the side of the ship. She could swim to it and row to shore. Then she would find Peter and…
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegFfqRtUuu
And…what?
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTNo7Ynr0G
She couldn’t tell him about her and Hook’s contract. Peter would hate her forever. Wendy sank down and held her knees to her chest. She couldn’t bear to return home. She needed her Peter Pan stories.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc4t9dCe4n
Then she looked up and knew one thing for certain. She needed to get off of this ship. She got up and darted over to her door and turned the key in the lock to buy herself more time. Then she quickly rushed over to the window and tugged on the sheets a few times. It would hold.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqy8ZS3uoA
She swung one leg out the window then the other and gripped the sheets. She actually enjoyed wearing pants instead of a dress. She was able to be more flexible. She slid down the sheets and then made it to the end of her make-shift rope. She would have to swim to the dinghy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKx5MpFkEK
Suddenly she heard Hook above her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRelUHzg3E
“What are you waiting for? Get her!” yelled Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OSAI9DZZg
Wendy gasped and released her rope. She splashed into the water and resurfaced, gasping for air. She made it to the dinghy but she saw pirates slowly making their way down her rope.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTkpxvzuc8
Wendy climbed into the small boat and took out her sword and cut the rope that was tied from the small boat to the ship.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDAPZbiGG3
“Get her!” yelled Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXSBrCBlQV
Wendy looked up and saw pirates starting to get the dinghy’s on the ship ready for lowering into the water. Wendy quickly pushed herself away from the ship and quickly began to row. The pirates splashed into the water and tried to swim for her, but luckily, she was faster than them.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes5urr3Vmj
Then she heard something that was like music to her ears.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv3s9jMG6N
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4pVzUWXzI
She peered behind the ship and saw the crocodile’s eyes looking at Hook with hunger.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ArpnCf92j
“SMEE!” cried Hook and Wendy giggled as the pirates scrambled to get back in the ship.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx57ZjTMaR
“Never change old codfish,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmmZCwCL3O
She rowed as fast as she could to the island. When she finally made it, her arms were burning and her heart as racing. She got out of the boat and splashed into the water. She walked up to the shore and collapsed on the sand. She just stared at the burning sun and tried to catch her breath.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTIKPlJHAT
Then, her eyes closed, and she drifted off to sleep.

Tinkerbell looked at Peter with a pout on her face.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNW1UQar9i
“Oh come on Tink, we haven’t played trick on old Hook in a long time,” he said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TVf260TRJ
“That old codfish doesn’t deserve our presence,” she jingled.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdQJOzKhW5
“Come on Tink, please? You never know what we might find,” said Peter.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9otds7FucP
Tinkerbell felt suspicious of Peter. He was keeping something from her. He’s been disappearing a lot and she didn’t know where or why.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzUst3AF5i
“Yeah come on Tink!” yelled the Lost Boys.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDEy71ZCSy
Tinkerbell sighed but jingled, “Fine.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkVHozD8Vi
The Lost Boys cheered and Peter smiled and nodded.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyLBaWVAk6
“All right men, line up!” commanded Peter. The Lost Boys all scrambled then lined up and saluted Peter. “Now, we go, attack Hook, and steal his treasure. Got it?”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHF7dJ5OCG
“But, uh, what if we get stabbed?” asked Cubby.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxhP2Hs1dR
Peter leaned in close with a grin on his face. “Then you will die a very painfully slow death.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnmqQ7v6bY
“So, don’t get stabbed!” yelled Slightly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ1LZjiRXL
The boys all cheered.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek1SLkKIeV
“Tink,” Peter looked to Tink.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0hUk4mGs4
Tinkerbell fluttered over to the boys and doused them all in Pixie Dust. Then she flew back over to Peter and sat on his shoulder.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FsW3YUY8b
“All right everyone. Fall out!” commanded Peter and he took off out of the hideout and the boys all followed him. He was finally going to rescue Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdD06ohbDf

1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagIycOMbTC
The boys flew over to Hook’s ship and they hid behind the sail.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVughqowOVK
“Okay, on my signal,” said Peter.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXU6FJibzV
The boys nodded and held their hands over their mouths to keep from giggling.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci9GAeBQhD
The crew was either sleeping, or playing games on board. Hook was nowhere to be seen.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNtbGZCGCj
Peter skillfully flew down and over to the window that led into Hook’s chambers. He saw Hook sitting at his chair and smoking a cigar. Mr. Smee was standing beside him anxiously.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQMXUxhC2u
“Mr. Smee…where is the crew?” asked Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63IwZ49foS
“Uh…on board Cap’n,” said Smee.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguCxOerFL2
Hook smashed his cigar into the chair and got up. He flipped the chair and grabbed Mr. Smee’s shirt with his hook. “Why are they on board when they should be getting to the land to look for that detestable girl?! We need her!”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWPqSXLq0Q
“M-Moira Cap’n?” asked Smee.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmGOJS3OUl
“Yes Moira! Of course Moira! Who else?” demanded Hook and he tossed Smee aside.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5vIOdDraC
Peter raised an eyebrow and continued to listen. Was Wendy not on the ship anymore?
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjzQb6kA7T
“The girl signed a contract with me. She is bound to me. She will be the one who will serve me like the rest of the crew! I’ll have her as my own personal slave if I have to! Nobody breaks a contract with Captain James Hook. Especially not a little girl named Wendy,” snapped Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJfuB84Lpp
Peter had heard enough. He would teach that old codfish. He shoved open the window and flew into Hook’s room.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR79YNhyW6x
“Pan!” exclaimed Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrN5gXQbtQ
“Hey Captain! Where’s your treasure at?” asked Peter and he laughed and pulled Hook’s suspenders and they snapped back into place and he yelped in pain.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jDEQb31Ox
“Smee! Alert the crew!” yelled Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOP77CtYQM
“Not to worry Captain, I’ll do it!” laughed Peter. He flew out of the window and onto the deck. Hook and Smee burst through the door and Peter flew past the crew.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDpaj83bSO
They all shot up and drew their swords.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmasBuPX0TQ
“All right boys! Let ‘em have it!” yelled Peter.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2LLezA3L6
The Lost Boys all gave war cries and flew down and shot their slingshots and arrows. The crew aimed shotguns and swung their swords at the boys.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgzCvrtIrp
Peter laughed and watched from the crow’s nest. Tinkerbell crossed her arms and stood on Peter’s shoulder.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIbcQdwAKm
“Peter, something isn’t right. I can feel it,” said Tinkerbell.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZrl739dBR
“Come on Tink, loosen up,” said Peter.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvY9XV2K1Y
“Pan! Get down here. I have something to discuss with you,” yelled Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnN839pcZR
Peter knew exactly what he was going to say. But he flew down near Hook anyway. Tinkerbell followed close behind.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl4mLGBKMI
“Now Pan, I need you to fetch someone for me,” said Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aYia1W8jj
“Oh? And what makes you think I’ll do anything for a codfish?” asked Peter with a smirk.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6TXBnkamh
“If you don’t help us, then your precious fairy here will die,” said Hook and suddenly Tinkerbell was snatched from Peter and given to Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRACsBq98r2
“Let go of me! Peter help me!” cried little Tinkerbell.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHj68EoE1X
“Let her go Hook,” said Peter and he took his dagger out.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb8cx35Rxs
“Of course I’ll let her go. But first, you must bring me Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Hook with a sneer.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu06UuUzvfy
Tinkerbell stared at Hook in shock then she looked at Peter. He felt his eyes grow wide. He decided to play dumb. “Wendy isn’t here. What would you want with her?”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVU12cCq4p
“I brought her here and she signed a contract,” said Hook and Smee rushed over to Peter and held up a piece of parchment. Peter read it and stared at Wendy’s signature. “No one breaks any contracts I give out. So, bring your precious Wendy to me, or, I shall kill Tinkerbell.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3h6AxWaiY
“You go too far Hook,” Peter said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5LZ566F7D
“This isn’t a game boy. The rules are very clear. Now, what is your decision?” asked Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78A7vtYQ3w
Tinkerbell looked at Peter with sadness and he looked around. The Lost Boys all stared at him as did the crew. The fighting stopped and everyone waited for Peter’s answer.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81k3ReKl94
“Tick-tock boy,” sneered Hook and he squeezed his hand and Tinkerbell shrieked in pain.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGriJBwBrJa
“Stop! I-I’ll do it. I’ll bring Wendy to you,” Peter said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqLoc8jS2c
“Good boy. Miss Bell will be safe with me until you return,” said Hook.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAwJ22bJzZ
“I’ll be back Tink. I promise. Do you hear me?” asked Peter.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPuHcSaqKy
Tinkerbell nodded.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFXlmjcCed
“Let’s go boys,” Peter said and they all flew back to the island.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUXNSoPuCA
“What do we do Peter?” asked Slightly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BKLVYWGbz
“Find Wendy,” Peter said and then he flew off towards the shore.

The tide washed over Wendy and she gasped and spluttered and coughed up water. She stood and wrung her shirt out and her hair. She had to figure out what to do now. She couldn’t just sit on the beach all day. She turned and walked into the forest.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6V4eXVIGo
She walked for miles and she was exhausted and hungry and thirsty.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet8un6rSzd
Suddenly she saw some light ahead. She walked toward it and found herself on the beach again.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG2lTfu8tZ
She gave a frustrated yell and sat in the sand. She yelped from pain and reached under her and picked up a spring.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YXqgGr6HZ
That’s when she realized that the sand was hiding small objects that were only found in her world…not Neverland.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXyAmVitfj
Suddenly she heard a jingling sound…a sound that only a fairy would make.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0YB2NWjYQ
“Tinkerbell?” asked Wendy and she spun around and a fairy almost ran right into her. But it stopped and seemed to scream then it flew out of control and into the ocean.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPmAUjosYv
Wendy jumped up and rescued the small fairy. She coughed and spluttered. She couldn’t fly because of her wings.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKstddRhHO
“I’m not going to hurt you. I promise. Can you help me?” asked Wendy to the small fairy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe30onqOiD
She got a better view of the fairy. She had long black hair tied back into a ponytail held with a purple band. She wore purple and dark pink leaves.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuTE12iCNW
“Do you know Tinkerbell?” asked Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXNYglZZSX
The fairy stopped and stared at Wendy. It jingled questioningly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPD2cBsEZJ
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0PzHV6SCe
The small fairy climbed off of Wendy’s hand and landed on the soft sand. She beckoned Wendy to follow her. The small fairy found little white puffs and took two of them and put them on her feet and gestured to them.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d2NTyxUZb
“Yes, yes, Tinkerbell. You know her?” asked Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrdw8KmyZC
The fairy nodded. She started to do gestures of how Tinkerbell left a long time ago.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKhouiY0ID
“So you don’t know where she is?” asked Wendy sadly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeteTjGUPJ
The fairy shook her head. Then she pointed to the spring in Wendy’s hand.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZByurFNqk
“What? The spring?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT35J7DGTc
The fairy jingled and nodded.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOskzI5B0ns
“You can have it,” said Wendy. She handed the fairy the small spring. The fairies wings dried rather quickly and she flew off with the spring faster than she had ever seen a fairy fly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXRGkM1F7L
Wendy was alone again and she sighed and walked back towards the forest. She needed to stay hidden. The pirates could be looking for her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzB7Y6kW4r
“What am I going to do?” Wendy asked herself.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mpsymbgNA
Suddenly the little fairy flew up over to her.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD53Wj9E2g
“Oh, it’s you again. Have you found Tinkerbell?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5H4C6WP1O
The fairy shook her head. She jingled and made large hand motions.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH6v3PF6k8
“I’m sorry. I can’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW2Qf4fB4x
The fairy tugged at her hair and gestured for her to follow.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkG37yJ7n8
“Alright,” said Wendy and she followed the fairy. They rushed through the forest. Wendy tried to keep up with the fairy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss6mWyuhPi
Suddenly she stopped in a field. Wendy stopped and tried to catch her breath.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQA9rEK7y7
The little fairy flew over to a flower and spun her hand. The flower’s pollen rose into the air and she formed words from it.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQuceOqTRq
She told Wendy her name: Vidia.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYGpxUs0pP
“It’s nice to meet you Vidia, I’m Wendy,” said Wendy.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI03W6bdnIr
Vidia jingled.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKTpP45V8u
Then she formed more words: Tinkerbell is a good friend of mine.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYr9E20Ox6
“But you don’t know where she is?” Wendy asked.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTIZOIH6C4
Vidia wrote: no, but she usually was with Peter Pan.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxHxBoMoSa
“Well I know that,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUflsRIer3
Vidia looked at her questioningly.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F37fa2Zag
“I’m trying to find Tinkerbell so I can ask her for advice. I’m a bit lost,” Wendy said. “Well not…lost really. I know where I am and how I got here but I need advice on what to do next.”
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrC6oynaq7
Vidia wrote: Peter Pan?
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGfeRYzLyD
“No, I can’t ask Peter. I…I would prefer he didn’t know I was here,” Wendy said.
1257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95bbTGeuP1
