“Wendy, come here darling,” Wendy heard her mother call.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzxYqlsyaS
“One moment mother!” Wendy called. “Then, Captain Hook raised his sword and was about to bring it down on Peter Pan’s chest when…”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhzGKEWc7C
“Wendy Darling come at once!” her mother called again.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aVpHm8G8v
“Quick finish the story Wendy,” said Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFRrlzMnyl
“I’ll have to leave you in suspense Michael. I’ll be right back,” she said and kissed his head.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9xztiM2UP
Wendy Darling smoothed out her white dress and straightened the blue bow around her waist. She hurried down the stairs and fixed her curls.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbResWWePJ3
“Mother?” she called.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiZF5zGY43
“In the family room dear,” her mother responded.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIJS9BftOb
She walked in and saw that Mary and George Darling were both sitting down and were looking at her.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WhEYZPT5E
“Have I done something wrong?” Wendy asked cautiously.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tZZRn9Z5j
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY8fthe5hh
“About what?” Wendy asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xfbqL5073
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyzBEoVdBE
“It doesn’t feel any different from other ages,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf0n2lAsEl
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl5vKj8KZX
“Proposals? To marry?” Wendy asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVNHHTHw0A
“Yes darling, or just any gentlemen who have tried to woo you.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjBP2GPzTW
Just outside of the window, Peter Pan watched Wendy and her parents closely. He always watched and listened. He was never seen or heard.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAVsBuVUNf
“N-no,” Wendy said. “And I don’t want any. I’m not ready to be married mother.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F1HvetTRi
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSsCHPHZqj
“Well it’s high time that you start to think about it young lady,” said Mr. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4TiP4BKdD
“But father, I-I can’t,” Wendy said. “I-I’m saving myself.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0PloTaQTG
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgwebGCPqw
“For who Wendy?” asked Mrs. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Bch42Jdj
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoH68Ybs4j
“Give us a name at least,” said Mrs. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdTwzcgw9T
Peter looked at Tink then back at Wendy. Who could she possibly be saving herself for? Who could be better than Peter Pan?
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli4GoKJ5g3
Wendy looked up at her parents, “Peter Pan.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ499lNkdWri
Tink jingled angrily and Peter turned a deep shade of red. But he couldn’t help but smile.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHQNZPoMlx
Mr. Darling scowled and Mrs. Darling sighed.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjCoYriFdC
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlyc8laPMn
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BF9gNeI1k
“But he is real father. John, Michael, and I went to…” started Wendy before her father cut her off.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Efpyvp1Q
“Neverland and fought with Captain Crook and flew around with pixie dust!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABCqGnScR1
“It’s actually Captain Hook father,” Wendy corrected.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmOZMeUlOU
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLLxHfLXu0
“George!” yelled Mrs. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt7mWfukvN
Peter turned red from anger and he tried to open the window but little Tinkerbell held him back.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6tsm7fKxx
“Peter no! You promised!” jingled Tinkerbell.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQHTKx0arh
“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!”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ824HfgzCc
“Please father, don’t do this. Don’t take this away from me,” Wendy begged.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkjNSpXttC
“My decision has been made.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSSFMzNmro
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl6bexM2KI
Peter flew back to Wendy’s window and Tinkerbell followed.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedT3dKnPj8
Wendy collapsed onto her bed and buried her face in her pillow and she wept.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKQoT03Cz5
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ni8AN8lE
Wendy heard the door open and John and Michael walked in with Nana trailing behind them.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF62MupF3X8
“Wendy?” asked Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L3LDc6pA8
She sat up and wiped her eyes.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cTA8tApjg
“Will you finish the story Wendy?” asked Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ817Mfu1kam
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB7Z51xhih
“Michael, you know what father said,” said John.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS7gBEREvb
“You both heard?” Wendy asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHvUUuzhvb
John nodded sadly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPykiPUAGDn
“But what about the story?” Michael asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWetdz9wnF
Wendy smiled and cupped his cheeks in her hands. “You know how the story ends Michael. Why don’t you tell me?” she asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEJ3B8s8vL
“Peter Pan wins doesn’t he?” asked Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jXoFaONcg
“Good always wins,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtfcj2Yy0c
“Then you will be able to tell us Peter Pan stories. Because you’re good, and good always wins,” said Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2c0aVQH4m
Wendy looked at John. He shook his head sadly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBEnuqWxAw
“I’m sorry Michael…I…I can’t,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC7y46udee
Peter felt complete despair wash over him and he took off flying so fast that Wendy’s window flew open.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjucwBdGaqH
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?
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZCc02Gvec
“Is it Peter, Wendy?” asked John.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MEhMEqMm2
Wendy sighed and looked at the second star. Then she grabbed the handle of the window and pulled it closed.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVxJDPteqJ
“Not anymore John,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBTR92jq9w
<>
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgoiUof3qE
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQW2Dg9r5A
“Peter slow down! Perhaps this is for the best. Wendy is growing up,” jingled Tinkerbell.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7CSJG8n4U
“I don’t care Tink. I like hearing Wendy’s stories. They’re all about me,” he said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W1Cvl928Q
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Msabf6Al
Peter flew towards the treehouse. Then he dropped down into the tree and was immediately attacked by the Lost Boys.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8DmBtkesA
“Peter, Peter! What did Wendy say? How does the story end?” they asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ106Wd4HTAo
“All right you block heads line up and I’ll tell you,” Peter said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwobyxuauE
The boys instantly lined up and looked at Peter eagerly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEvSCDZoVr
“I won,” Peter said simply.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDioRWs5ou
“That’s it?” asked Slightly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN28FWNh38d
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx2v700NyF
“What if there’s an emergency?” asked Nibs.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5L2WGtd5K
“Yeah like what if the tree house catches on fire?” asked Cubby.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeixo4VooK
“Then you’ll all have to burn,” Peter said with a wicked grin.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHte1otczI
The boys looked at each other then back at Peter. He laughed and walked into his room.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31HUbI44tX
Peter plopped down on his bed and Tinkerbell flew in and looked at him.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LX5MM0Hk7
“Peter…are you okay?” she asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb2fWF1via
“Do I look okay Tink?” Peter asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp9fD5qesG
She flew over and sat on his pillow next to his head.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBdwWjPHNV
“Do you want to talk about it Peter?” asked Tinkerbell.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQKUQawkTj
“No, go away Tink,” Peter said and rolled over so he didn’t face her.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJsGb8ixY1
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU23L6rBQyu
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2QbxDqgI4
A girl in Wendy’s class named Clara raised her hand.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p6ytwa50j
“Yes Clara?” asked Miss Jane.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA1jMCHIsV
“Bone,” she answered with a grin.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVShuUc3WBh
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR78Hpall9
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfH0twjWor
“Wendy Darling,” said Miss Jane.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF47LuANsMe
“Yes ma’am?” Wendy asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg2LhozFNp
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNODoebys6G
“Thank you ma’am,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK71supu0bk
“So, is Peter Pan based off of someone you know?” she asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAIRJm9dFV
“Not really. He’s his own person,” Wendy said. She smiled to herself as she thought about Peter.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUlg0EYoGr
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wp0l6Jl5W
“No ma’am. I’m afraid that I’m done telling stories about Peter Pan,” Wendy said sadly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNCpkRseu0
“Really? Whatever for?” she asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOc5HfNqBw
Wendy sighed and looked down. “Well, father doesn’t like me telling them.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYd06VisJT
“I see,” said Miss Jane and she walked over to her desk and sat down. “Come Wendy.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLUylkTmHO
Wendy walked over to her desk. Miss Jane opened her drawer and took out a needle then she looked back up at Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDMsd7QGTl
“Wendy, do you know what this is?” she asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovWOjp2xrb
“It is a needle ma’am,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSXQHnsx2M
“Are you sure?” she asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQN6YmYQBA
“Yes…I’m quite sure,” Wendy said. She was starting to get confused. Was Miss Jane seeing something different than she was?
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGXNtfKFNH
“It couldn’t possibly be anything else?” she asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTp5EB6fQl
“Well…it could be a weapon of some sort,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXJNOQHWlD
“A weapon? What kind?” she asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiSOGY1E3j
“I don’t know ma’am. It’s tiny, so it wouldn’t really be a very useful weapon,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmyWoAQAjx
“You’re absolutely right. What do you think could use a weapon like this?” she asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ24FLlzKG0
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PBcayfeTX
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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL3cmn0QKH
Wendy looked down but then she smiled and looked back up at Miss Jane. “Thank you ma’am,” she said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkdij8Trsh
Miss Jane laughed a little, “Now run along dear.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepsVQycdqi
Wendy nodded and rushed out of the classroom.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWJgG2anXV
Wendy was supposed to walk home with John and Michael every day. They were waiting for her outside of the school.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR0GlOQvay
“Wendy! Where have you been?” asked John.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX2UyhJ7yn
“Miss Jane had a conversation with me,” she said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvRIzL02P5
“Are you in trouble?” asked John.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDw3k6BRHo
She smiled, “The opposite actually.” She took Michael’s hand and they all walked towards their house.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnZHlSwRZd
“You’re in a good mood Wendy,” said Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSJMwKsCYw
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02OvPvU5WX
“What?” asked John and Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEP7mGPRN6
“Flying!” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfQicgqPSD
Michael and John looked at each other then laughed. They all spread our arms and ran down the street and pretended they were flying.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA0NgsUhGm
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGzpf3UVyv
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvtxH8oj3t
The man kept walking as if nothing happened. He didn’t even realize his hat was gone.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8utK8gNjJ7
“Wendy, Wendy, let’s fly to the park!” shouted Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ysrjh4L0e
“A very good idea Michael, come on John!” Wendy called. They “flew” to the park and ran around in the grass.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXah0YXvTeX
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbln7wyiIB
“Wendy, does this mean you will tell more Peter Pan stories?” asked Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1e0wy1SDn
“Yes Michael, I can’t possibly stop telling you stories,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EshEpwEQ0
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDJeY9ZTyw
“Is that so?” asked Mr. Darling once he walked over to Wendy and the boys.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh1ob9rUqN
Wendy gasped and she and the boys all sat up and stared at their father who was standing before them with his arms crossed.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLgeUXosG2
“Father,” Wendy said and she and the boys stood up quickly. Wendy smoothed out her gray uniform dress and her white apron.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsIKfrgVcL
John and Michael stood close to their sister. They all awaited what Mr. Darling would say.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBJNFiKNYD
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxo6iwACyQ
“No father no!” yelled Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWWgsGK1Va
Wendy felt her stomach drop and her heartbeat quicken.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7viHLZOmRk
“Come with me young lady. John, take your brother home,” said Mr. Darling and he grabbed Wendy’s hand.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2qjbyzqdl
“Father please,” said John.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYscCvpUa1
“That’s an order young man,” he snapped at John.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6NjGAU664
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!
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHEIWjqw6I
Mr. Darling led Wendy away.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1B0g5dwZW
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpbTajJxzR
“Not another word Wendy. I mean it!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fzx4Yl0eG
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOVh7D0iXW
“Taxi!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZJU3eZcdP
A horse and buggy stopped in front of them and Wendy climbed into it and Mr. Darling followed in after her.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzlEGNUecE
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6dd4LyGRv
Wendy couldn’t stop. She was terrified and she was never going to be able to even think of Peter Pan anymore.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVHIJaAUeK
“Wendy, something has to be done! I don’t know what else to do,” said Mr. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ZTcJfghh
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8jU5cCjG3
“Can I help you?” asked a woman.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOBErmw7UR
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuZ7QQHM5E
“Uh, do you mean her mental health?” asked the woman.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f92Ksnk6h
“Yes.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy66rR3A9q
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJXaBffhiK
Mr. Darling grabbed Wendy’s hand and walked up to Doctor Burns.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeDAjyM8Jp
“Are you Doctor Burns?” he asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh52kdpzWCn
“Yes sir, can I help you?” he asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCHofeQ41T
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjbh7m4RgU
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrqkhoJZfx
Wendy knew what this man was. He wasn’t a doctor. He must have been a pirate.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDkZpLw5TS
“Oh?” asked Mr. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaNICtKpdD
“Yes, follow me,” he said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ4fZJrF2o
Mr. Darling and Wendy followed Doctor Burns to a door. He opened the door and they entered a room full of girls Wendy’s age. They all had white nightgowns on and some of them had knotted hair. Some looked absolutely terrifying.

Mr. Darling stopped suddenly and looked around. Then is hit him what he was doing. How could he have done this? George Darling knew he was wrong. His precious daughter didn’t belong here. Not at all. Mr. Darling stopped and Wendy almost ran into him. He turned to her and she looked at him. “Wendy…what am I doing?” he asked her.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbQJEu5hKc
“Father,” Wendy said and she rushed into his arms and sobbed.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7O3zmpHES
“I-I’m so sorry Wendy. This isn’t right. You don’t belong here,” he said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V5wtkwYWq
“Problem sir?” asked Doctor Burns.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnirZILDTFL
“Yes, my daughter doesn’t belong here. She isn’t crazy,” said Mr. Darling and he held Wendy’s hand tightly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlkQT9gyAP
“Why such a sudden change of mind?” asked Doctor Burns.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19DxTTBO7Q
“My daughter is perfectly normal. She just takes her stories too literally sometimes,” he said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuSMGSJTpn
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZa0FZZ3P6
Mr. Darling took the pills, “What will they do?”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooflISg7XA
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerlMUbWP1D
Mr. Darling nodded then he and Wendy rushed out of the hospital.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnc7zXP6Cf
“Wendy will you ever forgive me?” asked Mr. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvuQdiSBeC
“I don’t think it’s me you will need forgiveness from,” Wendy said. “Mother is going to be furious.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDCIZZv8Qd
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiGlkRbDTE
John and Michael rushed down the stairs and joined in on the hug. Nana jumped in as well.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsUe3h8i0o
Mrs. Darling looked up and the children themselves had never seen her look so mad in their lives.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNzQtG4g1x
“George Darling! Have you gone absolutely mad?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc1Xv2Cah3
“Now Mary, I admit that I was being a bit rash…” started Mr. Darling
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVxB6MmAPv
“A bit rash? Do you realize what you could have done to our daughter?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBo9PCs9CE
“Now you listen here Mary. I admitted I was wrong. That is that, it’s over. Forget about it,” said George.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCEGpmaHUD
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPLU1heYAS
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyGEeHqj1z
Nana responded with a bark.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbX3j5u31A
John, Michael, and Wendy all walked up the stairs and they walked into Wendy’s room. Wendy placed the pills on her nightstand.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFbRUnHin5
“What happened Wendy?” asked John.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOz1P9HMeE
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQS5XBm7QK
“A pirate? What makes you say that?” asked John.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhaWlrHpEe
“His cold, dark eyes looked at me in a terrifying way. And he had a solid gold tooth in his mouth,” she said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm4vjjVER3
“A gold tooth?” asked Michael. “I don’t remember seeing a pirate with a gold tooth.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF8dveQKBw
“That’s what I was thinking. Maybe he’s a new pirate,” she said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12PPOYYloz
Suddenly Nana rushed up to Wendy and barked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlklAvaVn6
“Oh fine,” she said. She walked back over to her night stand and grabbed the the pill bottle.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWz7xw3Woc
“No Wendy, if the pirate gave you those then you shouldn’t take them,” said Michael.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOspApf3WA
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdln4qXc1pe
Nana balanced a tray on her head with a cup of water on it. Wendy took the cup and thanked her.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTQQjevLr4
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISAo0BVgKE
They looked a bit suspicious.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVEtPkQFNu
“I’m fine, see?” Wendy asked. “Now, I’m going to change into my nightdress if you don’t mind.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGChysQpNo
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPJr6dCfpB
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAPaRI8yVW
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRzmuycZ19
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMASzGr92Q
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeme6x5spg
Peter raised an eyebrow then flew down to Mary and George Darling’s window. They were asleep too.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjhk8L5d4l
Where was Wendy?
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde5smMwdvu
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoyJNmY01m
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOBFsToHs4
Peter wanted to try and stop her, but he promised that he wouldn’t interact with Wendy or anyone else from London ever again.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbiQkkeeUK
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr310Y5FgdP
Wendy walked for blocks, then she finally stopped in front of a hospital. Peter flew onto the roof of the hospital and peeked over.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW29voHuvN
The door opened and a man walked forward towards Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBZvbJK9GV
“Welcome back Wendy,” said the man in a harsh cruel voice.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWNGKNglpH
Wendy didn’t respond.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EaA6aI8cx
Another man came out and Peter narrowed his eyes. It was Hook. Peter could recognize that codfish anywhere.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5B87gGkQL
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo0XUFpMkw
Peter reached into his belt and pulled out his dagger.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUqlSDIWLd
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa9D7Egsh1
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJKB8MlhPs
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhjfAD6Iew
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByOdYCFJ1u
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aeX07OU78
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tVlmpjslI
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimHUZ5NT9W
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iK8eIBW1t
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tGc6KR2wg
She threw the covers off of her and stepped onto the wooden floor. Then the floor moved and she fell against the bed.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt2t8itbCD
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBWnFM5ZLW
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG6CRGhmOG
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…
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYX8Ulc6P3
“Wendy, you’re awake,” said Hook from behind her.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje9Bp3GkoM
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNAk4M8UBA
“Oh Wendy, my dear, why the sword? We are old friends aren’t we?” asked Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaThZDuTcv2
“Not at all. Why did you bring me here Hook?” Wendy asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBFQcfd6P9
“My dear sweet child, I brought you here because you needed to come here,” said Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneOWNNEenl
“What?” asked Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjMikL5e0S
“Come Wendy, sit, have some breakfast,” said Hook. He gestured to the table.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthSE3cxfme
Wendy didn’t move.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhM1fINKwG
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPtnEZOAdy
“And what makes you think I’ll take it?” Wendy asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE71epxDBdt
“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?”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7c6ju1Slw
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLvgxrMvvj
“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?”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1mXvh8JSW
Wendy didn’t say anything but her sword lowered a bit.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRprjPTd1X
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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5pkJ58EAl
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZe72zYLB8
“What do you say my dear?” asked Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOq6aWVuKV
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVJmA2ffqd
“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?”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B5hojuJc8
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkGRHek62B
“Excellent my dear,” said Hook. “Now, come with me dear, I’ll get you some proper clothes to wear.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR3KUL7SWH
“Why am I in this dress?” asked Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQZ809JDjf
“You were under a sleep walking spell. We didn’t want you to trip and fall,” said Hook simply.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfK6EW3mRF
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLbTor4iUN

“If you see one of the Indians, shoot them,” said Peter with a devilish smile.

Suddenly the Lost Boys were attacked and tied up by the Indians. Even Peter was taken by surprise.

“We win,” laughed Tigerlily.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsy4U9j9y9
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJie6La3FX
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Fj6hIqDO
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1yNVhsL2E
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a5likXBR0
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2l4VssbaN
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJZlptuUC1
“A different name?” Wendy asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZDLQp1tYc
“Yes, Wendy doesn’t seem like a very terrifying name now does it?” asked Hook. “What was your full name again?”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hNWgLTyHg
“Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR13UkP6QF1
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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyFsRguvlu
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZcJl1fJp6
“Very well then. Just call me Moira,” said Wendy, er, Moira.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEJU5IT4vh
“Excellent my dear. Excellent, are you finished? I think it’s a good time for a story. What do you think?” Captain Hook asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaslQFDq3J
Moira couldn’t help but smile and nod.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUbQounOrp
Hook escorted her out of the cabin and onto the deck.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGsL1sK3kL
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTrrj9lvIK
“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.

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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSIAzg6Ys4

Tigerlily walked over and sat next to him.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTQlD7KpWS
“You are distracted,” she said.

Peter laughed and shook his head. “I’m not distracted. I’m just observing the fire.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kxVNFYmAN
“You are distracted…by what?” asked Tigerlily.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp34A459bf
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVKNvPpkCK
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXky9LOcNKO
Tigerlily smiled and zipped her lips.

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

1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gkLGkySk6
“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.

“So Wendy is in Neverland on Hook’s ship right now?” asked Tigerlily once Peter was finished.

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

“I’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.

1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4plqoV1p0R
“Of course,” said Aqua.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PR1iLKsjc
“I need you to go to Hook’s ship…” started Peter.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANooFgoPMT
“Hook?” asked all of the mermaids and they instantly became terrified.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITyg9A60ih
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56gQ33SbdF
“Wendy?” asked Aqua.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FN4AbwlxK
“That name does sound familiar doesn’t it?” asked Shelly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pBc9rsIN9
Pearl gasped and said, “That was the little girl in the blue dress! Remember, we tried to down her.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOZSQMI9Ur
The mermaids giggled and I snickered. That was pretty funny, but Wendy sure didn’t think so.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfArHvaCTS
“Why would we do this Peter? The girl is absolutely disturbing,” said Shelly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinV3K5dUOS
The other mermaids nodded in agreement.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiRbA2Epzl
“Please girls, she could be in big trouble,” Peter said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEIbTle15B
“No way Peter. We will not risk our lives for some…little girl,” said Pearl.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhPh6i6o37
Peter frowned then smiled as an idea bloomed in his mind.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AcWrMcChi
“I’ll give you some of the gems from Hook’s treasure. They would look beautiful on all of you,” said Peter.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQJ0vwKQ3p
The mermaids looked thoughtful. Pearl and Shelly looked to Aqua who was kind of the leader of the group.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXNJoAzzN9
Aqua sighed the nodded, “Very well Peter. We will listen for Wendy in return for some of Hook’s jewels.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd19NFYho0z
“Thanks ladies,” said Peter and he took off his hat and bowed to them.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMv8HNAI4J
They all giggled then dove back into the water and swam towards Hook’s ship.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1LrVHYV1X
Aqua led them under the ship and she turned to her sisters. “Just listen for Wendy’s name,” she said to them.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOpFcTiP3q
Shelly and Pearl nodded.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy2zznPdjr
They all slowly rose above the surface and moved their hair out of their faces.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcIwASz2MX
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbL5DLV64i
“Time for her to get to bed now,” said Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ArDcarZsC
The crew booed and complained.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zmZRCwNhA
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9om9m7bJs4
“Excellent. Our plan is working smoothly,” said Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVUKRQfFd5
“I still don’t get the point Cap’n,” said one of the crew members.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTiJasH756
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uRIqLQohP
Aqua turned to her sisters.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcCgWaK9mU
“We should go back Aqua. I think we have enough information,” said Shelly fearfully.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkUpsbMfXa
“Very well,” said Aqua and she and her sister raced back to Mermaid Lagoon.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSnLXwDiWe
They made it to the rock where Peter hovered cross-legged. They surfaced and Peter uncrossed his legs and landed on the rock.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k7EAl67KI
“Hook has become more and more brutal Peter,” said Shelly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDQJrZvlHW
“He just killed one of his crew members,” said Pearl.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYJ015Yvs1
“We have some news…but we don’t know if it will help,” said Aqua.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY87CJ5vAz
“Was Wendy mentioned?” asked Peter.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXuk0wwa53
Aqua shook her head.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO4p5npRqA
“She wasn’t?” asked Peter.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLevJWm7PO
“No, but a girl named Moira was. She was the only female crew member we had ever seen,” said Shelly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrHH93NmW1
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN0J4nMldg
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyURaMH8fFj
“My name is Wendy, Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” she had said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedg4IEgCrw
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTybH0ZDHu

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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5VQvppJLM
“Come in,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8yreISUZ9
“Hello Miss Moira,” said Mr. Smee.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5YSUoyQXW
“Hello,” said Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4NYugjflh
“The Captain would like to see you for breakfast,” he said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8EGy5Wd3r
Wendy nodded. “Tell him that I’ll be there in a moment,” she said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3wcCl6qZE
“Yes ma’am,” said Mr. Smee and he left closing the door after him.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuvqYFopo9
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPqyID1IMG
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NefkvQd0l
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfQRBBbiOK
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…
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfOWix3RB9
And…what?
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX75oOkhU7N
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RQPjb88oY
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUJNZhotHh
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbLQoRxUKF
Suddenly she heard Hook above her.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcKsoq3F8X
“What are you waiting for? Get her!” yelled Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhx7sAfHzs
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXXw1GCclK
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xko20MUFH
“Get her!” yelled Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJjpiEF7AN
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3PVcZfdAR
Then she heard something that was like music to her ears.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKSXokJN6y
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4W0BwALgJ
She peered behind the ship and saw the crocodile’s eyes looking at Hook with hunger.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkpcdQBYq2
“SMEE!” cried Hook and Wendy giggled as the pirates scrambled to get back in the ship.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfj4Uzyo6V
“Never change old codfish,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIUCRqEcwf
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB4ROsjRpq
Then, her eyes closed, and she drifted off to sleep.

Tinkerbell looked at Peter with a pout on her face.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbeTnHvv56
“Oh come on Tink, we haven’t played trick on old Hook in a long time,” he said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPGHFonbfZ
“That old codfish doesn’t deserve our presence,” she jingled.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQvDpIWPBt
“Come on Tink, please? You never know what we might find,” said Peter.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGOYWeod29
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBW8ETTC8g
“Yeah come on Tink!” yelled the Lost Boys.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMDTSQo338
Tinkerbell sighed but jingled, “Fine.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgoUeHceAu
The Lost Boys cheered and Peter smiled and nodded.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlZGxwMbck
“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?”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuvknUGm30
“But, uh, what if we get stabbed?” asked Cubby.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltFCBRRTYa
Peter leaned in close with a grin on his face. “Then you will die a very painfully slow death.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGi8vSsVTd
“So, don’t get stabbed!” yelled Slightly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuU2FflNjU
The boys all cheered.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5bx8m7Y2A
“Tink,” Peter looked to Tink.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu52LHQFzeS
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIHWUxggwy
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgtcoinHhn

1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm1s2xSoPk
The boys flew over to Hook’s ship and they hid behind the sail.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw2Osp1EBM
“Okay, on my signal,” said Peter.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGzE7hjxgz
The boys nodded and held their hands over their mouths to keep from giggling.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHIsjxQhfo
The crew was either sleeping, or playing games on board. Hook was nowhere to be seen.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q7JDb35nb
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0eDYgWugG
“Mr. Smee…where is the crew?” asked Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkqIJXnTMH
“Uh…on board Cap’n,” said Smee.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs2U12MoGF
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!”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsePn0jwSyO
“M-Moira Cap’n?” asked Smee.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi19dmCowI
“Yes Moira! Of course Moira! Who else?” demanded Hook and he tossed Smee aside.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTPg3zLhhC
Peter raised an eyebrow and continued to listen. Was Wendy not on the ship anymore?
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h1Bx6DK1Z
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XYiUjAyYW
Peter had heard enough. He would teach that old codfish. He shoved open the window and flew into Hook’s room.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCRnl0gYVX
“Pan!” exclaimed Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDlX8mY9sS
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7QqUpXFAV
“Smee! Alert the crew!” yelled Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGCNFyVmhv
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb432KGes1
They all shot up and drew their swords.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaBpenZEv2
“All right boys! Let ‘em have it!” yelled Peter.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf85wcgRsrq
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dkr2BXos0
Peter laughed and watched from the crow’s nest. Tinkerbell crossed her arms and stood on Peter’s shoulder.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3LwpIersk
“Peter, something isn’t right. I can feel it,” said Tinkerbell.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTcC3TQueb
“Come on Tink, loosen up,” said Peter.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XNm3ThlDA
“Pan! Get down here. I have something to discuss with you,” yelled Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e4s8xV5dH
Peter knew exactly what he was going to say. But he flew down near Hook anyway. Tinkerbell followed close behind.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAIv6g0ZZf
“Now Pan, I need you to fetch someone for me,” said Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ55GYAygRd
“Oh? And what makes you think I’ll do anything for a codfish?” asked Peter with a smirk.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSPoFYIx7A
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Lw9ZyNqa
“Let go of me! Peter help me!” cried little Tinkerbell.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9pBuBPfZp
“Let her go Hook,” said Peter and he took his dagger out.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwPXjgtV3e
“Of course I’ll let her go. But first, you must bring me Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Hook with a sneer.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5JMUyaA7p
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?”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPL92kjZY0
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsYZeG6KNp
“You go too far Hook,” Peter said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMUtZ17qqm
“This isn’t a game boy. The rules are very clear. Now, what is your decision?” asked Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaUb0KKzqa
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlwF1mQK6K
“Tick-tock boy,” sneered Hook and he squeezed his hand and Tinkerbell shrieked in pain.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMj4oRykwE
“Stop! I-I’ll do it. I’ll bring Wendy to you,” Peter said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtDHYkAe1G
“Good boy. Miss Bell will be safe with me until you return,” said Hook.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP77GGseOm
“I’ll be back Tink. I promise. Do you hear me?” asked Peter.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1l8cvDgAY
Tinkerbell nodded.

“Let’s go boys,” Peter said and they all flew back to the island.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DR9R14s1z
“What do we do Peter?” asked Slightly.

1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGLasuBABN
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qnENiEGc4
She walked for miles and she was exhausted and hungry and thirsty.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk26DjUUH2
Suddenly she saw some light ahead. She walked toward it and found herself on the beach again.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54WsOawazJ
She gave a frustrated yell and sat in the sand. She yelped from pain and reached under her and picked up a spring.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffDG8ZzdyE
That’s when she realized that the sand was hiding small objects that were only found in her world…not Neverland.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH3YHseIsx
Suddenly she heard a jingling sound…a sound that only a fairy would make.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fNN0b0cjZ
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuPA0kBI6m
Wendy jumped up and rescued the small fairy. She coughed and spluttered. She couldn’t fly because of her wings.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxw7x5xnt0
“I’m not going to hurt you. I promise. Can you help me?” asked Wendy to the small fairy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoIsvqGFKY
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jG7qLQ4U9
“Do you know Tinkerbell?” asked Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MT8sHyIoF
The fairy stopped and stared at Wendy. It jingled questioningly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g55AKULOo
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpttC8uldx
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoasSVFdT2S
“Yes, yes, Tinkerbell. You know her?” asked Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2CwI9LNun
The fairy nodded. She started to do gestures of how Tinkerbell left a long time ago.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCPkFStsju
“So you don’t know where she is?” asked Wendy sadly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKQQwBSn8M
The fairy shook her head. Then she pointed to the spring in Wendy’s hand.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRUQdbEUPe
“What? The spring?” Wendy asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrFyzrhlJO
The fairy jingled and nodded.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zqHHdlFlT
“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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddllclyzZL
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcGrbr2TZl
“What am I going to do?” Wendy asked herself.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBn4Szu1M2
Suddenly the little fairy flew up over to her.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhodLY70zK
“Oh, it’s you again. Have you found Tinkerbell?” Wendy asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsFYLwgpqZ
The fairy shook her head. She jingled and made large hand motions.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbntwJWpiu
“I’m sorry. I can’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwbxu7VtcG
The fairy tugged at her hair and gestured for her to follow.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkiVeoLJFr
“Alright,” said Wendy and she followed the fairy. They rushed through the forest. Wendy tried to keep up with the fairy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYsSWFmcdr
Suddenly she stopped in a field. Wendy stopped and tried to catch her breath.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyunL42xSA
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.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0gwzYyhFt
She told Wendy her name: Vidia.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYqAZP347A
“It’s nice to meet you Vidia, I’m Wendy,” said Wendy.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkq6ZpaIKu
Vidia jingled.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV4TLxJ1W2
Then she formed more words: Tinkerbell is a good friend of mine.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ltuizpwc3
“But you don’t know where she is?” Wendy asked.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl85TpVlct2
Vidia wrote: no, but she usually was with Peter Pan.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeNnng6CBU
“Well I know that,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWQ1R2YiOO
Vidia looked at her questioningly.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGu7KZ2s90
“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.”
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2UQGzezHn
Vidia wrote: Peter Pan?
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKepl24LbbQ
“No, I can’t ask Peter. I…I would prefer he didn’t know I was here,” Wendy said.
1179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQi1SSDec6
