“Wendy, come here darling,” Wendy heard her mother call.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmd7GozNln
“One moment mother!” Wendy called. “Then, Captain Hook raised his sword and was about to bring it down on Peter Pan’s chest when…”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9CK9tZPfi
“Wendy Darling come at once!” her mother called again.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC7lONRg6l
“Quick finish the story Wendy,” said Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIRiw3Psf8
“I’ll have to leave you in suspense Michael. I’ll be right back,” she said and kissed his head.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2K49calm1
Wendy Darling smoothed out her white dress and straightened the blue bow around her waist. She hurried down the stairs and fixed her curls.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y9pTHPrO1
“Mother?” she called.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLOcoo5fDv
“In the family room dear,” her mother responded.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4tKxXER1p
She walked in and saw that Mary and George Darling were both sitting down and were looking at her.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN2tjw6UMG
“Have I done something wrong?” Wendy asked cautiously.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs2SFRIPH7
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSkPIAxUpw
“About what?” Wendy asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9gLrlPiqt
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwtkdkHUsQ
“It doesn’t feel any different from other ages,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrpoJpgq5T
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhucfUk5GVY
“Proposals? To marry?” Wendy asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJfGR00QZ4
“Yes darling, or just any gentlemen who have tried to woo you.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeeSTM7J73
Just outside of the window, Peter Pan watched Wendy and her parents closely. He always watched and listened. He was never seen or heard.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWQeYP6IAf
“N-no,” Wendy said. “And I don’t want any. I’m not ready to be married mother.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wePHp59GX
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV8sn5k3vY
“Well it’s high time that you start to think about it young lady,” said Mr. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww74XYPzF9
“But father, I-I can’t,” Wendy said. “I-I’m saving myself.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0GmLE12za
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9R5Coboj2
“For who Wendy?” asked Mrs. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDltrUMCsau
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPm7AwQoBO
“Give us a name at least,” said Mrs. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmERl3StvpL
Peter looked at Tink then back at Wendy. Who could she possibly be saving herself for? Who could be better than Peter Pan?
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM0VSyLbp4
Wendy looked up at her parents, “Peter Pan.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDs9y9hQxc
Tink jingled angrily and Peter turned a deep shade of red. But he couldn’t help but smile.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9SIf6vuDX
Mr. Darling scowled and Mrs. Darling sighed.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHZsOmK1bB
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXivBX6Gsa
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV36aGWf81Z
“But he is real father. John, Michael, and I went to…” started Wendy before her father cut her off.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ0hdRRRtB
“Neverland and fought with Captain Crook and flew around with pixie dust!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqItY0Ab4S
“It’s actually Captain Hook father,” Wendy corrected.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3a8Zjk60q
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFzM3Fqrii
“George!” yelled Mrs. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxCZvE2G1J
Peter turned red from anger and he tried to open the window but little Tinkerbell held him back.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewYLYeyubv
“Peter no! You promised!” jingled Tinkerbell.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR53A444ApM
“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!”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFOqH83YOj
“Please father, don’t do this. Don’t take this away from me,” Wendy begged.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmb2juKuYs
“My decision has been made.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOvr6DrApC
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpK2iO13wi
Peter flew back to Wendy’s window and Tinkerbell followed.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC65xDxYgW
Wendy collapsed onto her bed and buried her face in her pillow and she wept.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibsSYrw42q
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhh4as5Jjs
Wendy heard the door open and John and Michael walked in with Nana trailing behind them.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz7IFStqL8
“Wendy?” asked Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NXGcEh8HW
She sat up and wiped her eyes.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodv9pOdjNb
“Will you finish the story Wendy?” asked Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a6cqRoAvG
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZTT3csjxQ
“Michael, you know what father said,” said John.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmomZaaD4vM
“You both heard?” Wendy asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qpo5on044
John nodded sadly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIa4z9Oqfj
“But what about the story?” Michael asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4lul92L4O
Wendy smiled and cupped his cheeks in her hands. “You know how the story ends Michael. Why don’t you tell me?” she asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAstt0hynXe
“Peter Pan wins doesn’t he?” asked Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzTnku7Vuj
“Good always wins,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkc3RQbita
“Then you will be able to tell us Peter Pan stories. Because you’re good, and good always wins,” said Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeXKaL67KD
Wendy looked at John. He shook his head sadly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuzFVlXJqE
“I’m sorry Michael…I…I can’t,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNmMLGXpug
Peter felt complete despair wash over him and he took off flying so fast that Wendy’s window flew open.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGTf0cXahS
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?
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2NDi4C284
“Is it Peter, Wendy?” asked John.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fPFbyNAcs
Wendy sighed and looked at the second star. Then she grabbed the handle of the window and pulled it closed.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZzvcZ1Mte
“Not anymore John,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCDYxRxLYs
<>
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXIaU5cSwD
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd6dcPACGd
“Peter slow down! Perhaps this is for the best. Wendy is growing up,” jingled Tinkerbell.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjo6MAY6w7
“I don’t care Tink. I like hearing Wendy’s stories. They’re all about me,” he said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthyhbHfmEZ
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCLxm5O1ug
Peter flew towards the treehouse. Then he dropped down into the tree and was immediately attacked by the Lost Boys.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi17jgMuqPf
“Peter, Peter! What did Wendy say? How does the story end?” they asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfigUG1kuHV
“All right you block heads line up and I’ll tell you,” Peter said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqE5dTwH7t
The boys instantly lined up and looked at Peter eagerly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9x2uDR7RN
“I won,” Peter said simply.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ66Y9BO6p
“That’s it?” asked Slightly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwjvTInZm4
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdErGCtMuS
“What if there’s an emergency?” asked Nibs.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCDD45XEpN
“Yeah like what if the tree house catches on fire?” asked Cubby.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMveS0R0GT
“Then you’ll all have to burn,” Peter said with a wicked grin.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ctdYKMfHs
The boys looked at each other then back at Peter. He laughed and walked into his room.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe98EpefI68
Peter plopped down on his bed and Tinkerbell flew in and looked at him.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HBycBEJeD
“Peter…are you okay?” she asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8be98P2Zl
“Do I look okay Tink?” Peter asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdyD7UKBfB
She flew over and sat on his pillow next to his head.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrppxjixVxb
“Do you want to talk about it Peter?” asked Tinkerbell.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6w47A1iqt
“No, go away Tink,” Peter said and rolled over so he didn’t face her.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMfZoxL0v7
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.

1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjJYSGHROI
“Cat is to mouse as dog is to…anyone class?” asked Wendy’s teacher Miss Jane.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJZwIRt2cF
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRywWIWTlx
A girl in Wendy’s class named Clara raised her hand.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWlUbsjzr9
“Yes Clara?” asked Miss Jane.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9cpaf47es
“Bone,” she answered with a grin.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN5K0JBk4g
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq5L3SFfKt
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd6WR6eVYx
“Wendy Darling,” said Miss Jane.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oiasLxbAp
“Yes ma’am?” Wendy asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXEqI5Doms
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q7G3LnJig
“Thank you ma’am,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ2IrmqH8N
“So, is Peter Pan based off of someone you know?” she asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXX2XijtpO
“Not really. He’s his own person,” Wendy said. She smiled to herself as she thought about Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW2q7rjhIy
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiXeJo8EPM
“No ma’am. I’m afraid that I’m done telling stories about Peter Pan,” Wendy said sadly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXpNvRQ2Rb
“Really? Whatever for?” she asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyyqPc8LZ6
Wendy sighed and looked down. “Well, father doesn’t like me telling them.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq2KulhDLI
“I see,” said Miss Jane and she walked over to her desk and sat down. “Come Wendy.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRvaIx9naP
Wendy walked over to her desk. Miss Jane opened her drawer and took out a needle then she looked back up at Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVEmUj4WzK
“Wendy, do you know what this is?” she asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxTSfkA2ky
“It is a needle ma’am,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPwjt1V8u5
“Are you sure?” she asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIVwrsxQc0
“Yes…I’m quite sure,” Wendy said. She was starting to get confused. Was Miss Jane seeing something different than she was?
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTB3cGavfU
“It couldn’t possibly be anything else?” she asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKgFYFecPt
“Well…it could be a weapon of some sort,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcEryJYUS8
“A weapon? What kind?” she asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsIrCiAf4P
“I don’t know ma’am. It’s tiny, so it wouldn’t really be a very useful weapon,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz8KSixPBt
“You’re absolutely right. What do you think could use a weapon like this?” she asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD2qCvlaTG
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yHFVIqDBX
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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1hd2riNdS
Wendy looked down but then she smiled and looked back up at Miss Jane. “Thank you ma’am,” she said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqfNfGuyRy
Miss Jane laughed a little, “Now run along dear.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCjgjJg0M3
Wendy nodded and rushed out of the classroom.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlfCsCcWR1
Wendy was supposed to walk home with John and Michael every day. They were waiting for her outside of the school.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjK3c2C9ZZ
“Wendy! Where have you been?” asked John.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0P34jzE7T
“Miss Jane had a conversation with me,” she said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwhHd3O9Dh
“Are you in trouble?” asked John.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0T2IcgDqT
She smiled, “The opposite actually.” She took Michael’s hand and they all walked towards their house.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacrLh7zROo
“You’re in a good mood Wendy,” said Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhvmm4cQZg
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTkIIkG0tb
“What?” asked John and Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTnzZn8ty0
“Flying!” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZgYNnCI9R
Michael and John looked at each other then laughed. They all spread our arms and ran down the street and pretended they were flying.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXBm8S9k0b
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv4JhBnQlj
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbjVN3q904
The man kept walking as if nothing happened. He didn’t even realize his hat was gone.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW4vA7zcyF
“Wendy, Wendy, let’s fly to the park!” shouted Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO10RLgsxs
“A very good idea Michael, come on John!” Wendy called. They “flew” to the park and ran around in the grass.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6APgAOnEz
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHLDolGGqm
“Wendy, does this mean you will tell more Peter Pan stories?” asked Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qL8xPmHD6
“Yes Michael, I can’t possibly stop telling you stories,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3o55ufDK0
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxfPvAAGDl
“Is that so?” asked Mr. Darling once he walked over to Wendy and the boys.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdk2v7hgBf
Wendy gasped and she and the boys all sat up and stared at their father who was standing before them with his arms crossed.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4OBDp0eLK
“Father,” Wendy said and she and the boys stood up quickly. Wendy smoothed out her gray uniform dress and her white apron.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl6k0a5VAd
John and Michael stood close to their sister. They all awaited what Mr. Darling would say.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5QXAQZVc4
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BDvXCEjHy
“No father no!” yelled Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBnFFG5Pfs
Wendy felt her stomach drop and her heartbeat quicken.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypwfFY10Xp
“Come with me young lady. John, take your brother home,” said Mr. Darling and he grabbed Wendy’s hand.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RTDetWVQP
“Father please,” said John.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE1TM8weN6
“That’s an order young man,” he snapped at John.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tq8UyNXT3
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!
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCPOjdrjNf
Mr. Darling led Wendy away.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLpc0GNCp2
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnczOFUA6o
“Not another word Wendy. I mean it!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRFbSkHdEm
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8fwWVu6Vq
“Taxi!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5q7OsMdm2
A horse and buggy stopped in front of them and Wendy climbed into it and Mr. Darling followed in after her.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TDTZLz8VM
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSwG4wTRb1
Wendy couldn’t stop. She was terrified and she was never going to be able to even think of Peter Pan anymore.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINGOqYVp03
“Wendy, something has to be done! I don’t know what else to do,” said Mr. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwACWRUCjK
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNEXHqhkso
“Can I help you?” asked a woman.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7KqQLgeel
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuofvZCeF6d
“Uh, do you mean her mental health?” asked the woman.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LNnEzMtc2
“Yes.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Fe2w2btO
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi91JU7aNWa
Mr. Darling grabbed Wendy’s hand and walked up to Doctor Burns.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ThOoERE4c
“Are you Doctor Burns?” he asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6uJvrPGLm
“Yes sir, can I help you?” he asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wYfKMk3Eh
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVtHyNIabX
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr9i7JTwxZ
Wendy knew what this man was. He wasn’t a doctor. He must have been a pirate.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQprq3NQQF
“Oh?” asked Mr. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4eJevGZxj
“Yes, follow me,” he said.

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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUytkhpO00
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12QzY6BxJz
“Father,” Wendy said and she rushed into his arms and sobbed.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgiyYXhxL2
“I-I’m so sorry Wendy. This isn’t right. You don’t belong here,” he said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfsatU1fEf
“Problem sir?” asked Doctor Burns.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3CbYPrRHv
“Yes, my daughter doesn’t belong here. She isn’t crazy,” said Mr. Darling and he held Wendy’s hand tightly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Smwo938KX
“Why such a sudden change of mind?” asked Doctor Burns.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtRDJwx1HG
“My daughter is perfectly normal. She just takes her stories too literally sometimes,” he said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR6hHZeFPT
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N6YiqMMXe
Mr. Darling took the pills, “What will they do?”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYQHtyIRmn
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKUbtrKPkk
Mr. Darling nodded then he and Wendy rushed out of the hospital.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS83LfJYhJv
“Wendy will you ever forgive me?” asked Mr. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVButb2dEj
“I don’t think it’s me you will need forgiveness from,” Wendy said. “Mother is going to be furious.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKziStQsNc
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8yE98Q5WY
John and Michael rushed down the stairs and joined in on the hug. Nana jumped in as well.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyZvmI0Dpm
Mrs. Darling looked up and the children themselves had never seen her look so mad in their lives.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjv1pyfQVF
“George Darling! Have you gone absolutely mad?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsDvstGu3Z
“Now Mary, I admit that I was being a bit rash…” started Mr. Darling
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCNVlZraPu
“A bit rash? Do you realize what you could have done to our daughter?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqw8bWsiMD
“Now you listen here Mary. I admitted I was wrong. That is that, it’s over. Forget about it,” said George.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KLVh1TQsN
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWl6IPOnZh
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jKBnB0CjK
Nana responded with a bark.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OdCxsLkTE
John, Michael, and Wendy all walked up the stairs and they walked into Wendy’s room. Wendy placed the pills on her nightstand.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd9oDvo7gi
“What happened Wendy?” asked John.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGWwgsSphx
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrZV20b5Ow
“A pirate? What makes you say that?” asked John.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXDex0WZhf
“His cold, dark eyes looked at me in a terrifying way. And he had a solid gold tooth in his mouth,” she said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcB93m6NvC
“A gold tooth?” asked Michael. “I don’t remember seeing a pirate with a gold tooth.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsoYSrCoI4
“That’s what I was thinking. Maybe he’s a new pirate,” she said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlI622DTxR
Suddenly Nana rushed up to Wendy and barked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3aCu41pa4
“Oh fine,” she said. She walked back over to her night stand and grabbed the the pill bottle.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFq9JkrmIZ
“No Wendy, if the pirate gave you those then you shouldn’t take them,” said Michael.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMp1CIP9HM
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQOZZ2QRqc
Nana balanced a tray on her head with a cup of water on it. Wendy took the cup and thanked her.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX4rMuvlkb
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVshy7VqM6j
They looked a bit suspicious.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo42xsN0PH
“I’m fine, see?” Wendy asked. “Now, I’m going to change into my nightdress if you don’t mind.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4wu8RR9KL
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu1suWTgER
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGEr14aKCN
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIebNWTkKNP
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwgc2Qbhsd
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpDzHyHAEP
Peter raised an eyebrow then flew down to Mary and George Darling’s window. They were asleep too.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKscRzu5tB
Where was Wendy?
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fKKxgPyF8
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOV2xdx61H
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7zYSl5UHj
Peter wanted to try and stop her, but he promised that he wouldn’t interact with Wendy or anyone else from London ever again.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDi8z8qstq
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx25YqleBzY
Wendy walked for blocks, then she finally stopped in front of a hospital. Peter flew onto the roof of the hospital and peeked over.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOljimqcoRk
The door opened and a man walked forward towards Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyBIvKW6zD
“Welcome back Wendy,” said the man in a harsh cruel voice.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEXjriRnHQ
Wendy didn’t respond.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOP6lhFwQz
Another man came out and Peter narrowed his eyes. It was Hook. Peter could recognize that codfish anywhere.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6QQYSFM0x
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIEhOV15D1
Peter reached into his belt and pulled out his dagger.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpqAPicBOA
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdpKSfzJPf
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrNNGSBzTl
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMdUm4HuiZ
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcr3XBe4jj
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vp28egb0s
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqHF96sXGo
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VSzxI9NKS
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegzkbPbCxg
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKI7EjNOBw
She threw the covers off of her and stepped onto the wooden floor. Then the floor moved and she fell against the bed.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhICFCoAlg
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqz6hQSPrf
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5jVyv6wSk
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…
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9RfNRh1XQ
“Wendy, you’re awake,” said Hook from behind her.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz9ZYNgDs6
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2icySJwY6
“Oh Wendy, my dear, why the sword? We are old friends aren’t we?” asked Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6s0Dr1fBS
“Not at all. Why did you bring me here Hook?” Wendy asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilf4focEju
“My dear sweet child, I brought you here because you needed to come here,” said Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1CZDy3bHB
“What?” asked Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbaBZf1dyt
“Come Wendy, sit, have some breakfast,” said Hook. He gestured to the table.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w32MyW9th
Wendy didn’t move.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICcuYJ8P8T
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0gvT7pG8f
“And what makes you think I’ll take it?” Wendy asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27coMbT8kC
“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?”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWHQC5qCgJ
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1zfLUDOwW
“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?”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ4vmUU5A1
Wendy didn’t say anything but her sword lowered a bit.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmVFzpcdrx
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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiZb95YR00
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF4nwAfLva
“What do you say my dear?” asked Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFJF9HJwDN
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI2IQ6NzaO
“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?”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1PpxEdcWS
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziDvqseTMW
“Excellent my dear,” said Hook. “Now, come with me dear, I’ll get you some proper clothes to wear.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d5VfZG8Sf
“Why am I in this dress?” asked Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WYBBh4FAw
“You were under a sleep walking spell. We didn’t want you to trip and fall,” said Hook simply.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdB6ejWXR4
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMcSfAvZ62
“Peter, what should we do?” asked Cubby.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaBOeoAKYV
They were all hiding in the forest with their sling-shots at the ready.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU65EayG5Z
“If you see one of the Indians, shoot them,” said Peter with a devilish smile.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonKXTQjzar
Suddenly the Lost Boys were attacked and tied up by the Indians. Even Peter was taken by surprise.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAWyDGlKFK
“We win,” laughed Tigerlily.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT2ogoIYMr
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqtrnvnbD5
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjPVWgDPbQ
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDONXu1FrMR
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfid25FVdE
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RFFCpXWtp
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFIUabyXWO
“A different name?” Wendy asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYQHIhyFoJ
“Yes, Wendy doesn’t seem like a very terrifying name now does it?” asked Hook. “What was your full name again?”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkxWRtVy5T
“Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJUCMt0gB3
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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeSxBCC7oF
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h0kHQM848
“Very well then. Just call me Moira,” said Wendy, er, Moira.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW0KQbIxuY
“Excellent my dear. Excellent, are you finished? I think it’s a good time for a story. What do you think?” Captain Hook asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAKDUNknJe
Moira couldn’t help but smile and nod.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpn9Hwp0Ar
Hook escorted her out of the cabin and onto the deck.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc0cD6KO7Z
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBy9GES7vu
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH6WAlzaCC
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyrCtKBU4y
“Well, what would you all like to hear?” Moira asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtPFJWoVQ7

Tigerlily walked over and sat next to him.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdvL9MDMLu
“You are distracted,” she said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljJZd2W4wT
Peter laughed and shook his head. “I’m not distracted. I’m just observing the fire.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDF9cn4EDW
“You are distracted…by what?” asked Tigerlily.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrBSYUnome
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgU67p0RQu
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb39E2fv7l
Tigerlily smiled and zipped her lips.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzGi1NdUsC
“I’ve been seeing Wendy. I’ve been going to London and listening to her stories,” said Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6hZvKFDPq
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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJsEupWNeZ
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmxUP7cd1o
“So Wendy is in Neverland on Hook’s ship right now?” asked Tigerlily once Peter was finished.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT90cv40Fpp
Peter nodded.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI7FC9WJms
“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.

“I do not think it wise to wait. But, if you must,” said Tigerlily.

Peter nodded. Tigerlily cupped Peter’s cheek then she turned and returned to the fire.

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.

“I have a favor,” said Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYkJQCfZ1v
“Of course,” said Aqua.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblNGsY1f9X
“I need you to go to Hook’s ship…” started Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHotmJvhRpu
“Hook?” asked all of the mermaids and they instantly became terrified.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtyLFIuOg7
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXnelMc0Wn
“Wendy?” asked Aqua.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUljT1FOXpm
“That name does sound familiar doesn’t it?” asked Shelly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbNn6zSgE5
Pearl gasped and said, “That was the little girl in the blue dress! Remember, we tried to down her.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxIrsyKAHM
The mermaids giggled and I snickered. That was pretty funny, but Wendy sure didn’t think so.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HTIz9D0ZG
“Why would we do this Peter? The girl is absolutely disturbing,” said Shelly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxKT3PdLQi
The other mermaids nodded in agreement.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH765ZAN0E
“Please girls, she could be in big trouble,” Peter said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjxGXJtbmo
“No way Peter. We will not risk our lives for some…little girl,” said Pearl.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufODh2yJcR
Peter frowned then smiled as an idea bloomed in his mind.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZqGlCoITL
“I’ll give you some of the gems from Hook’s treasure. They would look beautiful on all of you,” said Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmLaBx9PTb
The mermaids looked thoughtful. Pearl and Shelly looked to Aqua who was kind of the leader of the group.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT5kUNP1Ix
Aqua sighed the nodded, “Very well Peter. We will listen for Wendy in return for some of Hook’s jewels.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l3b7CDJ0o
“Thanks ladies,” said Peter and he took off his hat and bowed to them.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOHnpSTK40
They all giggled then dove back into the water and swam towards Hook’s ship.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYqjF5rqXW
Aqua led them under the ship and she turned to her sisters. “Just listen for Wendy’s name,” she said to them.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrwIvxVdWJ
Shelly and Pearl nodded.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr0fbPDMMu
They all slowly rose above the surface and moved their hair out of their faces.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeweiUrdFp
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HuVLmmLMO
“Time for her to get to bed now,” said Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiQZZXl04c
The crew booed and complained.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ02tpmm1it
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O2QDAQSQx
“Excellent. Our plan is working smoothly,” said Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMIroJ9I7T
“I still don’t get the point Cap’n,” said one of the crew members.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0sEiSFev9
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Xx5ZOGB6
Aqua turned to her sisters.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PskpJlrA3
“We should go back Aqua. I think we have enough information,” said Shelly fearfully.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM0RqxIDtD
“Very well,” said Aqua and she and her sister raced back to Mermaid Lagoon.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf52VpS2Q3
They made it to the rock where Peter hovered cross-legged. They surfaced and Peter uncrossed his legs and landed on the rock.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH9VP3QUWn
“Hook has become more and more brutal Peter,” said Shelly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB6GPtcvhI
“He just killed one of his crew members,” said Pearl.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nrogCpp78
“We have some news…but we don’t know if it will help,” said Aqua.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgxJeY65HC
“Was Wendy mentioned?” asked Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXifgbsF9G
Aqua shook her head.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcUc4ZynZ3
“She wasn’t?” asked Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx51kXKqa7
“No, but a girl named Moira was. She was the only female crew member we had ever seen,” said Shelly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATZiU4KG7k
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAPkEO3GNK
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTltxBBJ5XX
“My name is Wendy, Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” she had said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8si6jpWHAZ
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUOYCu23pU

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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6uO43c1gc
“Come in,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4yGByuLEP
“Hello Miss Moira,” said Mr. Smee.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4M5Ro6EPX
“Hello,” said Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO9NMOgKYi
“The Captain would like to see you for breakfast,” he said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoBIQ0yBFn
Wendy nodded. “Tell him that I’ll be there in a moment,” she said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwaKxFKibE
“Yes ma’am,” said Mr. Smee and he left closing the door after him.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7xdCnDfoS
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xhhGSZtb4
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCElXG9Cd6X
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr9KxuneoE
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…
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaR4UG9k0v
And…what?
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XT1P6tXMy
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqPbqBcIGZ
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdyvJYeQVb
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyDC54FcvD
Suddenly she heard Hook above her.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYdRHGe4M4
“What are you waiting for? Get her!” yelled Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAvFz27rv1
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSEiRpIPdx
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYChre2eCFH
“Get her!” yelled Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcI61dfMF9
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCggWo8VhO1
Then she heard something that was like music to her ears.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAbXWOO75D
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpFVd6eyK4
She peered behind the ship and saw the crocodile’s eyes looking at Hook with hunger.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1QeQyp9Oy
“SMEE!” cried Hook and Wendy giggled as the pirates scrambled to get back in the ship.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOq78I5IFm
“Never change old codfish,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMN1ti5nj4
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m2pI24ki5
Then, her eyes closed, and she drifted off to sleep.

Tinkerbell looked at Peter with a pout on her face.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob5wvdXkk1
“Oh come on Tink, we haven’t played trick on old Hook in a long time,” he said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YS0IEmF68
“That old codfish doesn’t deserve our presence,” she jingled.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Njpgpzjg
“Come on Tink, please? You never know what we might find,” said Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jlUSxfXkf
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTmJTIViUt
“Yeah come on Tink!” yelled the Lost Boys.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5wva1PMEr
Tinkerbell sighed but jingled, “Fine.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscnN4hSl7X
The Lost Boys cheered and Peter smiled and nodded.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ9rnuKoni
“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?”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5g67cU2fC
“But, uh, what if we get stabbed?” asked Cubby.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeZMNFw0BU
Peter leaned in close with a grin on his face. “Then you will die a very painfully slow death.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuHQbg0q3g
“So, don’t get stabbed!” yelled Slightly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7LkAQM3aR
The boys all cheered.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wqykjGsDC
“Tink,” Peter looked to Tink.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhmnpgpdiL
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pc3WkNs78
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3rt3w56RB

1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlgMUCHHiP
The boys flew over to Hook’s ship and they hid behind the sail.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XfdtRXTpg
“Okay, on my signal,” said Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgEL4hCdLP
The boys nodded and held their hands over their mouths to keep from giggling.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmIyMWOItf
The crew was either sleeping, or playing games on board. Hook was nowhere to be seen.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDDefaiK5P
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNwWDBORyY
“Mr. Smee…where is the crew?” asked Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWjdiGhTtU
“Uh…on board Cap’n,” said Smee.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3nJgEJgSz
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!”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fl9egUEZw
“M-Moira Cap’n?” asked Smee.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF2504SiK4
“Yes Moira! Of course Moira! Who else?” demanded Hook and he tossed Smee aside.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFhfO8XuNd
Peter raised an eyebrow and continued to listen. Was Wendy not on the ship anymore?
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG3tdoH2Vl
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82JfP2J4K3
Peter had heard enough. He would teach that old codfish. He shoved open the window and flew into Hook’s room.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Rcias7fl
“Pan!” exclaimed Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrW9FvJ63P
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt49PGvlPpS
“Smee! Alert the crew!” yelled Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2GSKYz7O8
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaK2hjJtkh
They all shot up and drew their swords.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAGVNdfjxF
“All right boys! Let ‘em have it!” yelled Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQdALkJfbR
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vz3Aa9S1v
Peter laughed and watched from the crow’s nest. Tinkerbell crossed her arms and stood on Peter’s shoulder.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1C3hlpW94
“Peter, something isn’t right. I can feel it,” said Tinkerbell.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIba05QH57
“Come on Tink, loosen up,” said Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN2NLx6Y9t
“Pan! Get down here. I have something to discuss with you,” yelled Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuBlcP4xk8
Peter knew exactly what he was going to say. But he flew down near Hook anyway. Tinkerbell followed close behind.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkLyrCvm6r
“Now Pan, I need you to fetch someone for me,” said Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTe5M1kMaR
“Oh? And what makes you think I’ll do anything for a codfish?” asked Peter with a smirk.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIw2wVwnx1
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVMNg7Dp28
“Let go of me! Peter help me!” cried little Tinkerbell.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwS9DuiEdr
“Let her go Hook,” said Peter and he took his dagger out.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrLbzzfKN0
“Of course I’ll let her go. But first, you must bring me Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Hook with a sneer.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyE5ZNx6o7
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?”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOud4nDrfr
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eymZJJPCN
“You go too far Hook,” Peter said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD13ceKrAs
“This isn’t a game boy. The rules are very clear. Now, what is your decision?” asked Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyfNOZiP2a
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdMs2CquxP
“Tick-tock boy,” sneered Hook and he squeezed his hand and Tinkerbell shrieked in pain.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a7tBW4B87
“Stop! I-I’ll do it. I’ll bring Wendy to you,” Peter said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQITcL026rm
“Good boy. Miss Bell will be safe with me until you return,” said Hook.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdo2Wsh5HX
“I’ll be back Tink. I promise. Do you hear me?” asked Peter.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEsTF3aeKu
Tinkerbell nodded.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FgCavcIqW
“Let’s go boys,” Peter said and they all flew back to the island.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzLZNjAAOo
“What do we do Peter?” asked Slightly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXOjKuafh4
“Find Wendy,” Peter said and then he flew off towards the shore.

1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i5ktqrUFp
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7KT9iMCAB
She walked for miles and she was exhausted and hungry and thirsty.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ1cv4xtrv
Suddenly she saw some light ahead. She walked toward it and found herself on the beach again.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNZrGLD04Q
She gave a frustrated yell and sat in the sand. She yelped from pain and reached under her and picked up a spring.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkP4EwHBu1
That’s when she realized that the sand was hiding small objects that were only found in her world…not Neverland.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB2creMbcg
Suddenly she heard a jingling sound…a sound that only a fairy would make.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BUSx1MUZT
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRpVRRtrcW
Wendy jumped up and rescued the small fairy. She coughed and spluttered. She couldn’t fly because of her wings.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHkZBjU0gm
“I’m not going to hurt you. I promise. Can you help me?” asked Wendy to the small fairy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEFXSH7zLI
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz4fioR7rh
“Do you know Tinkerbell?” asked Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CClLRYhkP
The fairy stopped and stared at Wendy. It jingled questioningly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAl52rK9sK
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fic53PYfT
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqDDjnjb9O
“Yes, yes, Tinkerbell. You know her?” asked Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNquxdZ83W3
The fairy nodded. She started to do gestures of how Tinkerbell left a long time ago.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LKXzffad2
“So you don’t know where she is?” asked Wendy sadly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiwb6o7h1O
The fairy shook her head. Then she pointed to the spring in Wendy’s hand.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKG8oT1Egw
“What? The spring?” Wendy asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBxMpjMrx2
The fairy jingled and nodded.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgKAl3XaO1
“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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sTVmcZLm7
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNfNjwFrDw
“What am I going to do?” Wendy asked herself.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhMrKWCVdd
Suddenly the little fairy flew up over to her.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLNSA6AWVs
“Oh, it’s you again. Have you found Tinkerbell?” Wendy asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ3jo7bMD0
The fairy shook her head. She jingled and made large hand motions.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJXypUVxRX
“I’m sorry. I can’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X147NROW8
The fairy tugged at her hair and gestured for her to follow.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLutvLgHHq2
“Alright,” said Wendy and she followed the fairy. They rushed through the forest. Wendy tried to keep up with the fairy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGdO0TfrM9
Suddenly she stopped in a field. Wendy stopped and tried to catch her breath.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUSFHO1CoE
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.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ8fYpcrxe
She told Wendy her name: Vidia.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZr9OUlLgM
“It’s nice to meet you Vidia, I’m Wendy,” said Wendy.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje6GLaMTZ7
Vidia jingled.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobxyKIQy3G
Then she formed more words: Tinkerbell is a good friend of mine.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16UlCodSyg
“But you don’t know where she is?” Wendy asked.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIew9wBgh7
Vidia wrote: no, but she usually was with Peter Pan.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR0NTJNABD
“Well I know that,” Wendy said.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUraAn3y2l
Vidia looked at her questioningly.
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hatQqTGy8
“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.”
1144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5yNZEl2vA
Vidia wrote: Peter Pan?
