“Wendy, come here darling,” Wendy heard her mother call.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hGEkMHqJ0
“One moment mother!” Wendy called. “Then, Captain Hook raised his sword and was about to bring it down on Peter Pan’s chest when…”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw6KliszM5
“Wendy Darling come at once!” her mother called again.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ucguBUOPy
“Quick finish the story Wendy,” said Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiK84nRwy4
“I’ll have to leave you in suspense Michael. I’ll be right back,” she said and kissed his head.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlvXiKDasV
Wendy Darling smoothed out her white dress and straightened the blue bow around her waist. She hurried down the stairs and fixed her curls.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eBp5qkfew
“Mother?” she called.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcYCArbRmC
“In the family room dear,” her mother responded.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe67ujsdCD0
She walked in and saw that Mary and George Darling were both sitting down and were looking at her.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbhjtc5NVw
“Have I done something wrong?” Wendy asked cautiously.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrUl797IIk
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXslEbugyY
“About what?” Wendy asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhDWcYxyfz
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cxGlRGpQE
“It doesn’t feel any different from other ages,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmDB6tdZrf
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MDCvqzLc4
“Proposals? To marry?” Wendy asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQJw6nbIeD
“Yes darling, or just any gentlemen who have tried to woo you.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxiIT5Qq8I
Just outside of the window, Peter Pan watched Wendy and her parents closely. He always watched and listened. He was never seen or heard.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FRZXPdJwA
“N-no,” Wendy said. “And I don’t want any. I’m not ready to be married mother.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiI2Z4mIjG
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7CpksO3SH
“Well it’s high time that you start to think about it young lady,” said Mr. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8omno3DdJb
“But father, I-I can’t,” Wendy said. “I-I’m saving myself.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEMMbxyopr
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2txJed9nG
“For who Wendy?” asked Mrs. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g6Qid9LTG
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3ul2Hdvah
“Give us a name at least,” said Mrs. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6V58jmjFD
Peter looked at Tink then back at Wendy. Who could she possibly be saving herself for? Who could be better than Peter Pan?
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWJyVcc8T5
Wendy looked up at her parents, “Peter Pan.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK78itN9zwq
Tink jingled angrily and Peter turned a deep shade of red. But he couldn’t help but smile.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC66d7WvWbm
Mr. Darling scowled and Mrs. Darling sighed.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPMYwl4M4R
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAvKfNt1YQ
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYvwB5UayX
“But he is real father. John, Michael, and I went to…” started Wendy before her father cut her off.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbFZneK6oO
“Neverland and fought with Captain Crook and flew around with pixie dust!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDjjgHeBDH
“It’s actually Captain Hook father,” Wendy corrected.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bPgDZxMrP
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxFrCNLWeF
“George!” yelled Mrs. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xjkiJpt2J
Peter turned red from anger and he tried to open the window but little Tinkerbell held him back.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VcwM4mrNF
“Peter no! You promised!” jingled Tinkerbell.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu9JdisPsQ
“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!”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRedT2omfB
“Please father, don’t do this. Don’t take this away from me,” Wendy begged.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnoOC0i8yo
“My decision has been made.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahzS2fVjfK
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ4yuZwWSg
Peter flew back to Wendy’s window and Tinkerbell followed.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnkCyMshUi
Wendy collapsed onto her bed and buried her face in her pillow and she wept.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSheZKawD6
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7XHZLijjw
Wendy heard the door open and John and Michael walked in with Nana trailing behind them.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMQ0hgiNUv
“Wendy?” asked Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN6lALpmMD
She sat up and wiped her eyes.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRFL5eBMIO
“Will you finish the story Wendy?” asked Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnXW9pefG8
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLrIREN2ZT
“Michael, you know what father said,” said John.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2b8tqMkGG
“You both heard?” Wendy asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNLtUtVzd2
John nodded sadly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4hVtKFCWf
“But what about the story?” Michael asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDS3S0fDew
Wendy smiled and cupped his cheeks in her hands. “You know how the story ends Michael. Why don’t you tell me?” she asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSN05Tj2eQ
“Peter Pan wins doesn’t he?” asked Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y0PXi0VPP
“Good always wins,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThMWPPwyB9
“Then you will be able to tell us Peter Pan stories. Because you’re good, and good always wins,” said Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBrWdh9pEZ
Wendy looked at John. He shook his head sadly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8XQS6qdyv
“I’m sorry Michael…I…I can’t,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyOlGUysWy
Peter felt complete despair wash over him and he took off flying so fast that Wendy’s window flew open.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0X2OsLaHq
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?
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2HKNLhHKX
“Is it Peter, Wendy?” asked John.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4bwvlDzv1
Wendy sighed and looked at the second star. Then she grabbed the handle of the window and pulled it closed.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW5ZiafQDn
“Not anymore John,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWnz9I6EGx
<>
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2N3GcyK40
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DSbjvh0A1
“Peter slow down! Perhaps this is for the best. Wendy is growing up,” jingled Tinkerbell.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DXGXQ5qH2
“I don’t care Tink. I like hearing Wendy’s stories. They’re all about me,” he said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pcvtSq0hG
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkTsxnFa46
Peter flew towards the treehouse. Then he dropped down into the tree and was immediately attacked by the Lost Boys.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpM5daQPv7
“Peter, Peter! What did Wendy say? How does the story end?” they asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7phHuFtLT
“All right you block heads line up and I’ll tell you,” Peter said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR5BhlKbKT
The boys instantly lined up and looked at Peter eagerly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjt3cNpGPm
“I won,” Peter said simply.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeossORrcxx
“That’s it?” asked Slightly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnckS5nga0J
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZseawJ1Rd
“What if there’s an emergency?” asked Nibs.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HAMDo3xzC
“Yeah like what if the tree house catches on fire?” asked Cubby.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uyhDHjWA6
“Then you’ll all have to burn,” Peter said with a wicked grin.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w223801R3
The boys looked at each other then back at Peter. He laughed and walked into his room.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG7HDtucil
Peter plopped down on his bed and Tinkerbell flew in and looked at him.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakasBeFtFb
“Peter…are you okay?” she asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmtGTj7a8y
“Do I look okay Tink?” Peter asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFUHdQzfWM
She flew over and sat on his pillow next to his head.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrRgn8iMX8
“Do you want to talk about it Peter?” asked Tinkerbell.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFWQXvsNe5
“No, go away Tink,” Peter said and rolled over so he didn’t face her.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiEMTVA50T
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLrV7GPG5O
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkOEZvhNzw
A girl in Wendy’s class named Clara raised her hand.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqB2ODI7aK
“Yes Clara?” asked Miss Jane.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu84a1nKtw
“Bone,” she answered with a grin.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxptD6fj76
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6WDpRg4Lh
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ig3GTcKbB
“Wendy Darling,” said Miss Jane.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWIzMz7IGo
“Yes ma’am?” Wendy asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt52aigwgd6
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSbRXCj3iG
“Thank you ma’am,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2yE5munGV
“So, is Peter Pan based off of someone you know?” she asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEVrc8hShL
“Not really. He’s his own person,” Wendy said. She smiled to herself as she thought about Peter.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxRLCvq8hS
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnwVTeVv6o
“No ma’am. I’m afraid that I’m done telling stories about Peter Pan,” Wendy said sadly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVdBv2DsJs
“Really? Whatever for?” she asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VCZS5Czcf
Wendy sighed and looked down. “Well, father doesn’t like me telling them.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlszw5K8M3
“I see,” said Miss Jane and she walked over to her desk and sat down. “Come Wendy.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAepY0jY0Ib
Wendy walked over to her desk. Miss Jane opened her drawer and took out a needle then she looked back up at Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNm20xQlJ1
“Wendy, do you know what this is?” she asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrSiqf3Ouc
“It is a needle ma’am,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs708rl6DY2
“Are you sure?” she asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW2ZCnyKDM
“Yes…I’m quite sure,” Wendy said. She was starting to get confused. Was Miss Jane seeing something different than she was?
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMJDC6HYUR
“It couldn’t possibly be anything else?” she asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy1hwk60Pk
“Well…it could be a weapon of some sort,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oCEgSVpek
“A weapon? What kind?” she asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO71wnTAPl
“I don’t know ma’am. It’s tiny, so it wouldn’t really be a very useful weapon,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO8MlTP6OV
“You’re absolutely right. What do you think could use a weapon like this?” she asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe4WcrY9Bt
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1daIDBtws2
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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6rTAR2SaN
Wendy looked down but then she smiled and looked back up at Miss Jane. “Thank you ma’am,” she said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvf36aOXcg
Miss Jane laughed a little, “Now run along dear.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghdXtpA2xP
Wendy nodded and rushed out of the classroom.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDAVBsH2T4
Wendy was supposed to walk home with John and Michael every day. They were waiting for her outside of the school.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7XIciRDT3
“Wendy! Where have you been?” asked John.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbT7bs0dc5
“Miss Jane had a conversation with me,” she said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG6ZgPaDG1
“Are you in trouble?” asked John.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbVjPbUjLa
She smiled, “The opposite actually.” She took Michael’s hand and they all walked towards their house.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkcUJ562ZJ
“You’re in a good mood Wendy,” said Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ28aJDhBB
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIQekIpv9L
“What?” asked John and Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoZIN5Um42
“Flying!” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP2bm5rXEr
Michael and John looked at each other then laughed. They all spread our arms and ran down the street and pretended they were flying.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNEqrfXMha
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15VaIuGvC6
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2guNcFJyj
The man kept walking as if nothing happened. He didn’t even realize his hat was gone.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLdwy8pYKK
“Wendy, Wendy, let’s fly to the park!” shouted Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHgwFxMWGM
“A very good idea Michael, come on John!” Wendy called. They “flew” to the park and ran around in the grass.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprrt9Uw3cx
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiHdm2NYd5
“Wendy, does this mean you will tell more Peter Pan stories?” asked Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeezFFw6qMS
“Yes Michael, I can’t possibly stop telling you stories,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQxVeHiWqp
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnpBjS2Iik
“Is that so?” asked Mr. Darling once he walked over to Wendy and the boys.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn70Sxd2UI7
Wendy gasped and she and the boys all sat up and stared at their father who was standing before them with his arms crossed.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i11DCddzx
“Father,” Wendy said and she and the boys stood up quickly. Wendy smoothed out her gray uniform dress and her white apron.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3liUuTnPr
John and Michael stood close to their sister. They all awaited what Mr. Darling would say.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlQWP1TjGT
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwFLHQdGzi
“No father no!” yelled Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELQFgBaDfh
Wendy felt her stomach drop and her heartbeat quicken.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve5IGeGFOw
“Come with me young lady. John, take your brother home,” said Mr. Darling and he grabbed Wendy’s hand.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDLKUohV1c
“Father please,” said John.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjQ6z9j2iU
“That’s an order young man,” he snapped at John.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP3IFeY0wb
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!
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PucUY9fis
Mr. Darling led Wendy away.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui8SG3VDYQ
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuDqkSx6f2
“Not another word Wendy. I mean it!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy3K9SExm7
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywKEzMaFTs
“Taxi!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J0SZoFvDt
A horse and buggy stopped in front of them and Wendy climbed into it and Mr. Darling followed in after her.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSU3dXsjHH
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoXsncbsO4
Wendy couldn’t stop. She was terrified and she was never going to be able to even think of Peter Pan anymore.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoxZybOwjM
“Wendy, something has to be done! I don’t know what else to do,” said Mr. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69h7sCjt1e
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZsbj1yDHa
“Can I help you?” asked a woman.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjR8FvxoIC
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEQx2Z4zas
“Uh, do you mean her mental health?” asked the woman.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0ogts9Jbc
“Yes.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5i6Qwrg9J
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMjj5rxJx8
Mr. Darling grabbed Wendy’s hand and walked up to Doctor Burns.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kont4Y7wI
“Are you Doctor Burns?” he asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBmKc4eVN5
“Yes sir, can I help you?” he asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhRNsgw1LS
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJIMPSZSXM
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZICNPrlKBq
Wendy knew what this man was. He wasn’t a doctor. He must have been a pirate.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh1uWWWOwU
“Oh?” asked Mr. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ8UqUwrCM
“Yes, follow me,” he said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUGRWUnbtq
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV70Emc405
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0qFZQJZC1
“Father,” Wendy said and she rushed into his arms and sobbed.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENOQxwhTto
“I-I’m so sorry Wendy. This isn’t right. You don’t belong here,” he said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGxgwoWS18
“Problem sir?” asked Doctor Burns.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOyJBXRoE3
“Yes, my daughter doesn’t belong here. She isn’t crazy,” said Mr. Darling and he held Wendy’s hand tightly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYsuvrp1Xg
“Why such a sudden change of mind?” asked Doctor Burns.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMNcujnCwi
“My daughter is perfectly normal. She just takes her stories too literally sometimes,” he said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWbFDiT0Nv
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoeFyUgS47
Mr. Darling took the pills, “What will they do?”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUIelmW0hg
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVeFTjZwyy
Mr. Darling nodded then he and Wendy rushed out of the hospital.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzoaxGYBGo
“Wendy will you ever forgive me?” asked Mr. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfM7nA7oYz
“I don’t think it’s me you will need forgiveness from,” Wendy said. “Mother is going to be furious.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ948vmHmDbN
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULmbApQEwf
John and Michael rushed down the stairs and joined in on the hug. Nana jumped in as well.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA2qMF6LwB
Mrs. Darling looked up and the children themselves had never seen her look so mad in their lives.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0yFdXYFCQ
“George Darling! Have you gone absolutely mad?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbtrpYht14
“Now Mary, I admit that I was being a bit rash…” started Mr. Darling
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvmds52VzY
“A bit rash? Do you realize what you could have done to our daughter?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrb6M8KXAs
“Now you listen here Mary. I admitted I was wrong. That is that, it’s over. Forget about it,” said George.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsCywst8aD
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO35mJ9vi9y
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCviF6qUS3
Nana responded with a bark.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YdcsWCLxo
John, Michael, and Wendy all walked up the stairs and they walked into Wendy’s room. Wendy placed the pills on her nightstand.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaUQ6s0Oql
“What happened Wendy?” asked John.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1lFvHSLFj
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNL3FQgfJk
“A pirate? What makes you say that?” asked John.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEVyKiK3vz
“His cold, dark eyes looked at me in a terrifying way. And he had a solid gold tooth in his mouth,” she said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqkUoluXxd
“A gold tooth?” asked Michael. “I don’t remember seeing a pirate with a gold tooth.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAI2htKa5e
“That’s what I was thinking. Maybe he’s a new pirate,” she said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyykjVs7uI
Suddenly Nana rushed up to Wendy and barked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnydkfd0bPn
“Oh fine,” she said. She walked back over to her night stand and grabbed the the pill bottle.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ATRpEmcyI
“No Wendy, if the pirate gave you those then you shouldn’t take them,” said Michael.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPyArPKEVW
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSKlC1mKVE
Nana balanced a tray on her head with a cup of water on it. Wendy took the cup and thanked her.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarrZqd3f2e
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP8eAjTU4d
They looked a bit suspicious.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFkPYjcIRL
“I’m fine, see?” Wendy asked. “Now, I’m going to change into my nightdress if you don’t mind.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumZc5iMEUB
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSTiANLNsy
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsgOPb5tmb
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWwnYkTfYS
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJy1ham1eY
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjbu4JSZmx
Peter raised an eyebrow then flew down to Mary and George Darling’s window. They were asleep too.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHAyBRLltW
Where was Wendy?
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV7gvPgadi
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaQmIDMD40
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV1BC53PGQ
Peter wanted to try and stop her, but he promised that he wouldn’t interact with Wendy or anyone else from London ever again.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaT8Lt0P1p
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8etMvmLAJ
Wendy walked for blocks, then she finally stopped in front of a hospital. Peter flew onto the roof of the hospital and peeked over.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8cOeXvQgo
The door opened and a man walked forward towards Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjXDiFH9fo
“Welcome back Wendy,” said the man in a harsh cruel voice.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHUK5kkj1U
Wendy didn’t respond.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5E9uJQpSn
Another man came out and Peter narrowed his eyes. It was Hook. Peter could recognize that codfish anywhere.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0lKC7D5Dn
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxIYDmAgV4
Peter reached into his belt and pulled out his dagger.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc7eaMMNEE
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk9WhPKsrD
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tUhICGVuS
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniuTKLu8kr
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD4VIBNDuM
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxep8FvJfJ
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf0lE4Yesz
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FG6X9thSg
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtzgs2AOGR
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIClsyeiUnr
She threw the covers off of her and stepped onto the wooden floor. Then the floor moved and she fell against the bed.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOMMoCPfml
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGrU1KrtgK
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMNavpEUA0
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…
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gArURC4ek
“Wendy, you’re awake,” said Hook from behind her.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLcPoBRZd7
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqtbYTEmk4
“Oh Wendy, my dear, why the sword? We are old friends aren’t we?” asked Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr7EGjCbLs
“Not at all. Why did you bring me here Hook?” Wendy asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEhfBPiDtc
“My dear sweet child, I brought you here because you needed to come here,” said Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOQVfPd5ve
“What?” asked Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJwBEE8PPh
“Come Wendy, sit, have some breakfast,” said Hook. He gestured to the table.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv44WS03LHM
Wendy didn’t move.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj7BkAd3KP
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwWEFTggzg
“And what makes you think I’ll take it?” Wendy asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMkTSRGWCp
“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?”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FAeTo2LIN
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaQE0ZwUcU
“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?”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGyDQMTYwO
Wendy didn’t say anything but her sword lowered a bit.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJSnx3FuXk
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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYNVNFNoo9
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxjSva8EvH
“What do you say my dear?” asked Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSia3VccH6
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VD2q9xCFg
“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?”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUudU71Lw4Q
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahCVYtw9ty
“Excellent my dear,” said Hook. “Now, come with me dear, I’ll get you some proper clothes to wear.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQKCkMftnR
“Why am I in this dress?” asked Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jZhT1JNZg
“You were under a sleep walking spell. We didn’t want you to trip and fall,” said Hook simply.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4NZemJfeE
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLlyRfUffX
They were all hiding in the forest with their sling-shots at the ready.

“If you see one of the Indians, shoot them,” said Peter with a devilish smile.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SJOC8Wzfo
Suddenly the Lost Boys were attacked and tied up by the Indians. Even Peter was taken by surprise.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUloVd6SLJ
“We win,” laughed Tigerlily.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF7WNQmbK1
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb50Ho8xR8
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcikTg6ZgSm
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7o2eLksjQ
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq6uMFTnPB
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxH4FGgjjf
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU6CDLuQOJ
“A different name?” Wendy asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtaQWMRaJW
“Yes, Wendy doesn’t seem like a very terrifying name now does it?” asked Hook. “What was your full name again?”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDdZ1uz9Q2
“Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XuWjGJVWt
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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD3u1urtLm
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlqlRo4FLE
“Very well then. Just call me Moira,” said Wendy, er, Moira.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ2U6UMKBA
“Excellent my dear. Excellent, are you finished? I think it’s a good time for a story. What do you think?” Captain Hook asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs6irHiqjw
Moira couldn’t help but smile and nod.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCn3HBg8SF
Hook escorted her out of the cabin and onto the deck.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqQkEGdk8L
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvaRYIcWtK
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXWcoaTL7M
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.

“Well, what would you all like to hear?” Moira asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyLtyYS9TM

Tigerlily walked over and sat next to him.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47WRZylAiY
“You are distracted,” she said.

Peter laughed and shook his head. “I’m not distracted. I’m just observing the fire.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqPfeZQz5T
“You are distracted…by what?” asked Tigerlily.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ZTz4N9XJ
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISkLZMowcE
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL4lL2Mbqe
Tigerlily smiled and zipped her lips.

“I’ve been seeing Wendy. I’ve been going to London and listening to her stories,” said Peter.

1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4bXg0SuEi
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVQu82gOaX
“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.

“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.

1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUfEEOnfWP
“I need you to go to Hook’s ship…” started Peter.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh7a3z7bIQ
“Hook?” asked all of the mermaids and they instantly became terrified.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi1ZvTYqpY
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH8cv3Uhsn
“Wendy?” asked Aqua.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIdqgGILdw
“That name does sound familiar doesn’t it?” asked Shelly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvItIXiavT
Pearl gasped and said, “That was the little girl in the blue dress! Remember, we tried to down her.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgFnfSxV4D
The mermaids giggled and I snickered. That was pretty funny, but Wendy sure didn’t think so.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4RTjH46VN
“Why would we do this Peter? The girl is absolutely disturbing,” said Shelly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XhxG6A6x1
The other mermaids nodded in agreement.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ6HUSO23o
“Please girls, she could be in big trouble,” Peter said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzVO6eRo1m
“No way Peter. We will not risk our lives for some…little girl,” said Pearl.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIyj4HWAex
Peter frowned then smiled as an idea bloomed in his mind.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk7c6W0WmE
“I’ll give you some of the gems from Hook’s treasure. They would look beautiful on all of you,” said Peter.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPAtwWccQA
The mermaids looked thoughtful. Pearl and Shelly looked to Aqua who was kind of the leader of the group.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr1Xk169Uj
Aqua sighed the nodded, “Very well Peter. We will listen for Wendy in return for some of Hook’s jewels.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdzsJPQMsz
“Thanks ladies,” said Peter and he took off his hat and bowed to them.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV5whoR9aI
They all giggled then dove back into the water and swam towards Hook’s ship.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYMJ0sgPim
Aqua led them under the ship and she turned to her sisters. “Just listen for Wendy’s name,” she said to them.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6v0IoJfo3
Shelly and Pearl nodded.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhrU8iz6fc
They all slowly rose above the surface and moved their hair out of their faces.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHrEK0GCaf
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiWTHfaNFx
“Time for her to get to bed now,” said Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvKvsUiE6p
The crew booed and complained.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGkbsz3M0Y
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOB2eIrFW4
“Excellent. Our plan is working smoothly,” said Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDncg83I1Ya
“I still don’t get the point Cap’n,” said one of the crew members.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUOHIJOOVV
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCFVh0Kj8o
Aqua turned to her sisters.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTezjY5lbv
“We should go back Aqua. I think we have enough information,” said Shelly fearfully.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF3IN8i0oj
“Very well,” said Aqua and she and her sister raced back to Mermaid Lagoon.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI35Y0SlmBr
They made it to the rock where Peter hovered cross-legged. They surfaced and Peter uncrossed his legs and landed on the rock.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoqitsoxGI
“Hook has become more and more brutal Peter,” said Shelly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyzgC0mWkc
“He just killed one of his crew members,” said Pearl.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDYePLB11z
“We have some news…but we don’t know if it will help,” said Aqua.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKtHEivs1v
“Was Wendy mentioned?” asked Peter.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUXp46cuhK
Aqua shook her head.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcBVYrzv33
“She wasn’t?” asked Peter.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRALa7kw48
“No, but a girl named Moira was. She was the only female crew member we had ever seen,” said Shelly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudlY7oRTSu
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0zh8jBtbj
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc0AHFAtHK
“My name is Wendy, Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” she had said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v78Unge5v
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYrUHQtO1Z

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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao5tSltbZY
“Come in,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu6hr2jH22
“Hello Miss Moira,” said Mr. Smee.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBrilOjzas
“Hello,” said Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyETvsNqDaM
“The Captain would like to see you for breakfast,” he said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEDC2Sl8rF
Wendy nodded. “Tell him that I’ll be there in a moment,” she said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8QW9elEj0
“Yes ma’am,” said Mr. Smee and he left closing the door after him.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F4WM9jUpb
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCEU8kTmkz
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf0qn8LMKi
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWfONG1DNV
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…
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdizbDqgvD
And…what?
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHvER1maZ9
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbFamKgyg6
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiCFC5Dkea
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIoUZ6ihJ2
Suddenly she heard Hook above her.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YM2YzRFOQ
“What are you waiting for? Get her!” yelled Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBLMizYcPS
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrw3d5e32g
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI8StZ7Pc0
“Get her!” yelled Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevrqUpoDCE
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfQXj3o2ZI
Then she heard something that was like music to her ears.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVfC2mrbYi
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DH3yFfxeN
She peered behind the ship and saw the crocodile’s eyes looking at Hook with hunger.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUteEk3fXtI
“SMEE!” cried Hook and Wendy giggled as the pirates scrambled to get back in the ship.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TVrvNepvo
“Never change old codfish,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzxGT8pgWh
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgF4VXzEJI
Then, her eyes closed, and she drifted off to sleep.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bVIA40a3H

1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SjfsV3AEk
Tinkerbell looked at Peter with a pout on her face.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj05SZf0yu
“Oh come on Tink, we haven’t played trick on old Hook in a long time,” he said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9TuVejVaH
“That old codfish doesn’t deserve our presence,” she jingled.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsOPsjoqW5
“Come on Tink, please? You never know what we might find,” said Peter.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVuCB857s7
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDi1lUtNNA
“Yeah come on Tink!” yelled the Lost Boys.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNPRnmAWRl
Tinkerbell sighed but jingled, “Fine.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwMpAMbKcp
The Lost Boys cheered and Peter smiled and nodded.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ329ZDCfkY
“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?”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtoWtNbiYv
“But, uh, what if we get stabbed?” asked Cubby.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1TRUwtCR3
Peter leaned in close with a grin on his face. “Then you will die a very painfully slow death.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZJyHVvmq0
“So, don’t get stabbed!” yelled Slightly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIOLOBFykE
The boys all cheered.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBCbNdLN1I
“Tink,” Peter looked to Tink.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VCtfqxjLZ
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mMgeUANlO
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcTelaEtDR

1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu53k48hQp
The boys flew over to Hook’s ship and they hid behind the sail.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfoiqDl7UW
“Okay, on my signal,” said Peter.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRJzdgQPUp
The boys nodded and held their hands over their mouths to keep from giggling.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejDrns47LC
The crew was either sleeping, or playing games on board. Hook was nowhere to be seen.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYns1PtVWE
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWETqy8k8XD
“Mr. Smee…where is the crew?” asked Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3l6UjuLvd
“Uh…on board Cap’n,” said Smee.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKnltgLx6J
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!”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigYlp35Do9
“M-Moira Cap’n?” asked Smee.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAziIwS8ie
“Yes Moira! Of course Moira! Who else?” demanded Hook and he tossed Smee aside.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLyCNJSYyX
Peter raised an eyebrow and continued to listen. Was Wendy not on the ship anymore?
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAmOvtook4
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7LROXlHjd
Peter had heard enough. He would teach that old codfish. He shoved open the window and flew into Hook’s room.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirRNLzWVFm
“Pan!” exclaimed Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVOBKkARfP
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKcFIMBgyi
“Smee! Alert the crew!” yelled Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6UslVfyub
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjM8fWsCtF
They all shot up and drew their swords.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvof7JB3lrB
“All right boys! Let ‘em have it!” yelled Peter.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZGAz3iXyZ
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA6MXPCsMZ
Peter laughed and watched from the crow’s nest. Tinkerbell crossed her arms and stood on Peter’s shoulder.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZcHIsypkQ
“Peter, something isn’t right. I can feel it,” said Tinkerbell.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVc9GcGJFv
“Come on Tink, loosen up,” said Peter.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLtd1gwGC7
“Pan! Get down here. I have something to discuss with you,” yelled Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFP9Hs8SYF
Peter knew exactly what he was going to say. But he flew down near Hook anyway. Tinkerbell followed close behind.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLccqMwQuuy
“Now Pan, I need you to fetch someone for me,” said Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6LB5KARx9
“Oh? And what makes you think I’ll do anything for a codfish?” asked Peter with a smirk.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX8hFyaXIF
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyBiQsHZsj
“Let go of me! Peter help me!” cried little Tinkerbell.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytTwK5Imtd
“Let her go Hook,” said Peter and he took his dagger out.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrpPLirbgf
“Of course I’ll let her go. But first, you must bring me Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Hook with a sneer.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyh0tWMwzc
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?”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIPlu7MpfG
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAUNn8NGcQ
“You go too far Hook,” Peter said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG9hJfJH7l
“This isn’t a game boy. The rules are very clear. Now, what is your decision?” asked Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrD6irb8yv
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNaUaJTjnY
“Tick-tock boy,” sneered Hook and he squeezed his hand and Tinkerbell shrieked in pain.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Go2tQXVw5
“Stop! I-I’ll do it. I’ll bring Wendy to you,” Peter said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9XdehnrvO
“Good boy. Miss Bell will be safe with me until you return,” said Hook.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq4qj9KLGO
“I’ll be back Tink. I promise. Do you hear me?” asked Peter.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniBySnDpwG
Tinkerbell nodded.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPkMzWR3vq
“Let’s go boys,” Peter said and they all flew back to the island.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuFPPErPWd
“What do we do Peter?” asked Slightly.

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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aXjgNQYLT
She walked for miles and she was exhausted and hungry and thirsty.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7VWBVGbev
Suddenly she saw some light ahead. She walked toward it and found herself on the beach again.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucfaFFjVSJ
She gave a frustrated yell and sat in the sand. She yelped from pain and reached under her and picked up a spring.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqsNAWvDUI
That’s when she realized that the sand was hiding small objects that were only found in her world…not Neverland.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZit5G7o6Oi
Suddenly she heard a jingling sound…a sound that only a fairy would make.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5tfRC36ah
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo26A3vq6S
Wendy jumped up and rescued the small fairy. She coughed and spluttered. She couldn’t fly because of her wings.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Ze5oVBAR
“I’m not going to hurt you. I promise. Can you help me?” asked Wendy to the small fairy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi53yai24HV
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHm20llF8e
“Do you know Tinkerbell?” asked Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBAavx5kFE
The fairy stopped and stared at Wendy. It jingled questioningly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMVP1DOSXr
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo75TWD8If
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Gy5uAxc9
“Yes, yes, Tinkerbell. You know her?” asked Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sf7RF1Anx
The fairy nodded. She started to do gestures of how Tinkerbell left a long time ago.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT2ilJxWNk
“So you don’t know where she is?” asked Wendy sadly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwxFD3zPJL
The fairy shook her head. Then she pointed to the spring in Wendy’s hand.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKc3b8tZAd
“What? The spring?” Wendy asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AyK3ricrH
The fairy jingled and nodded.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSCFwnqRBF
“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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V541yhBIC
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4S8gHEUvU
“What am I going to do?” Wendy asked herself.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSkW3hwu9Y
Suddenly the little fairy flew up over to her.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzlbWj2LoP
“Oh, it’s you again. Have you found Tinkerbell?” Wendy asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2BwFQIW2Z
The fairy shook her head. She jingled and made large hand motions.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uU9pGqI0x
“I’m sorry. I can’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeamkVnM50
The fairy tugged at her hair and gestured for her to follow.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbNEpgJn6a
“Alright,” said Wendy and she followed the fairy. They rushed through the forest. Wendy tried to keep up with the fairy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RaSwkgI1h
Suddenly she stopped in a field. Wendy stopped and tried to catch her breath.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfRp5g8G4m
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.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHPAdiozuD
She told Wendy her name: Vidia.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SF35VShXf
“It’s nice to meet you Vidia, I’m Wendy,” said Wendy.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVBX5cvN6V
Vidia jingled.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx8CXAHpyi
Then she formed more words: Tinkerbell is a good friend of mine.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZQw9Bgf3v
“But you don’t know where she is?” Wendy asked.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt7Q7ppwKt
Vidia wrote: no, but she usually was with Peter Pan.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrQbsq4LO3
“Well I know that,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAWVYZRvlH
Vidia looked at her questioningly.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidINkqvlxj
“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.”
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoltM6rd5hB
Vidia wrote: Peter Pan?
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbkF3U4WPw
“No, I can’t ask Peter. I…I would prefer he didn’t know I was here,” Wendy said.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0YebLjVhz
Vidia nodded. Then she wrote: follow me. The pollen fell away from the sky and Vidia flew off. Wendy rushed after her. Then they stopped in front of a huge oak tree.
1297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU1PxuNohR
