“Wendy, come here darling,” Wendy heard her mother call.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vdo0MYmLJ
“One moment mother!” Wendy called. “Then, Captain Hook raised his sword and was about to bring it down on Peter Pan’s chest when…”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXdjshS3sb
“Wendy Darling come at once!” her mother called again.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEgVzH2p7b
“Quick finish the story Wendy,” said Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ067w30HU
“I’ll have to leave you in suspense Michael. I’ll be right back,” she said and kissed his head.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUnbGRcvpo
Wendy Darling smoothed out her white dress and straightened the blue bow around her waist. She hurried down the stairs and fixed her curls.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS2J3kyob0
“Mother?” she called.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5D2hwx0gX
“In the family room dear,” her mother responded.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6exVTmC1b
She walked in and saw that Mary and George Darling were both sitting down and were looking at her.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95RPLCX7EH
“Have I done something wrong?” Wendy asked cautiously.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHflIqu81B
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TzJjkUSjI
“About what?” Wendy asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccwCTArNM9
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcNEDEoG21
“It doesn’t feel any different from other ages,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdLbxKCsfq
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexNzV8EdYq
“Proposals? To marry?” Wendy asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrryc9IDCFb
“Yes darling, or just any gentlemen who have tried to woo you.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQmXlSyxZM
Just outside of the window, Peter Pan watched Wendy and her parents closely. He always watched and listened. He was never seen or heard.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsom0B7eDVv
“N-no,” Wendy said. “And I don’t want any. I’m not ready to be married mother.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFoWjCAyK
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjfJ5SkoXL
“Well it’s high time that you start to think about it young lady,” said Mr. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhknplqPghn
“But father, I-I can’t,” Wendy said. “I-I’m saving myself.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QptAEiUHD
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr84aTPh6s
“For who Wendy?” asked Mrs. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuL2MQXJp5
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT2O2igWiI
“Give us a name at least,” said Mrs. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwn7y5P0rG
Peter looked at Tink then back at Wendy. Who could she possibly be saving herself for? Who could be better than Peter Pan?
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGX71bHqQj
Wendy looked up at her parents, “Peter Pan.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmgQkenVIN
Tink jingled angrily and Peter turned a deep shade of red. But he couldn’t help but smile.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxtaQEyQ4R
Mr. Darling scowled and Mrs. Darling sighed.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VuWzgMFtw
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEJCb1nYwo
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcojEAoS0b
“But he is real father. John, Michael, and I went to…” started Wendy before her father cut her off.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PcpVXrZiz
“Neverland and fought with Captain Crook and flew around with pixie dust!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2NDiYpRwB
“It’s actually Captain Hook father,” Wendy corrected.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV71CpiqjZ
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a6cJf4pxn
“George!” yelled Mrs. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w1GyoqfCD
Peter turned red from anger and he tried to open the window but little Tinkerbell held him back.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJYwoJZG1Q
“Peter no! You promised!” jingled Tinkerbell.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o1RgKwt1c
“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!”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWWVhdtPPc
“Please father, don’t do this. Don’t take this away from me,” Wendy begged.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo54ooKVGv
“My decision has been made.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD87rjwp1t
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFQzeaJUiA
Peter flew back to Wendy’s window and Tinkerbell followed.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFivzfaedg
Wendy collapsed onto her bed and buried her face in her pillow and she wept.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoNEOEJ9Y0
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB7nW32CAn
Wendy heard the door open and John and Michael walked in with Nana trailing behind them.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zodb5ULIA
“Wendy?” asked Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWNCyF1o3r
She sat up and wiped her eyes.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs39UU9wv6
“Will you finish the story Wendy?” asked Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Dp5E0To9
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHBUBoeZJo
“Michael, you know what father said,” said John.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt3xPOsxnw
“You both heard?” Wendy asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMUSN8LMd5
John nodded sadly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LeacYBWpU
“But what about the story?” Michael asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nKUtYTAST
Wendy smiled and cupped his cheeks in her hands. “You know how the story ends Michael. Why don’t you tell me?” she asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfzdOfqqul
“Peter Pan wins doesn’t he?” asked Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrieaodDwjb
“Good always wins,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQNO3BTtz8
“Then you will be able to tell us Peter Pan stories. Because you’re good, and good always wins,” said Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIahDI9Y5e
Wendy looked at John. He shook his head sadly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogr6J9x8Jy
“I’m sorry Michael…I…I can’t,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe57yVHxep1
Peter felt complete despair wash over him and he took off flying so fast that Wendy’s window flew open.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP326GbLlS
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?
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyOjy2jwEk
“Is it Peter, Wendy?” asked John.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeOXEEYT1J
Wendy sighed and looked at the second star. Then she grabbed the handle of the window and pulled it closed.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJEFTsubE6
“Not anymore John,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctXI5yavwL
<>
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIFBUkk0KJ
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ760zE4KaDS
“Peter slow down! Perhaps this is for the best. Wendy is growing up,” jingled Tinkerbell.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgphy0NfsU
“I don’t care Tink. I like hearing Wendy’s stories. They’re all about me,” he said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DUfZer8YI
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaoIUBH5g6
Peter flew towards the treehouse. Then he dropped down into the tree and was immediately attacked by the Lost Boys.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRopJAySnmB
“Peter, Peter! What did Wendy say? How does the story end?” they asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Yj7y1pac
“All right you block heads line up and I’ll tell you,” Peter said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwgl7PYksU
The boys instantly lined up and looked at Peter eagerly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl4XkGm5un
“I won,” Peter said simply.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUFyV2o8m7
“That’s it?” asked Slightly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhysinJgrH
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTo9Zw1YcF
“What if there’s an emergency?” asked Nibs.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ih8KZKviI
“Yeah like what if the tree house catches on fire?” asked Cubby.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorWGpQWNOB
“Then you’ll all have to burn,” Peter said with a wicked grin.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCgABYnh9u
The boys looked at each other then back at Peter. He laughed and walked into his room.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu504MUQxfb
Peter plopped down on his bed and Tinkerbell flew in and looked at him.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCc1MhKP0j
“Peter…are you okay?” she asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6bbptbgQV
“Do I look okay Tink?” Peter asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYLlrn6aVx
She flew over and sat on his pillow next to his head.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHig2SUzlW
“Do you want to talk about it Peter?” asked Tinkerbell.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u7Xjj8PYM
“No, go away Tink,” Peter said and rolled over so he didn’t face her.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuCl0QoBe8
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBnrDt3enP
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttnTWfd32K
A girl in Wendy’s class named Clara raised her hand.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKuVPrIWO3
“Yes Clara?” asked Miss Jane.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDh5OIYVkY
“Bone,” she answered with a grin.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvhFR1Dq7T
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRaLB2X5fd
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyPvkVIEIq
“Wendy Darling,” said Miss Jane.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp9rQXSLlg
“Yes ma’am?” Wendy asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNEnCFkOMk
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCr0znKSzA
“Thank you ma’am,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvgZmigSVl
“So, is Peter Pan based off of someone you know?” she asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdSttXRhxf
“Not really. He’s his own person,” Wendy said. She smiled to herself as she thought about Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3aGsAQ8gY
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kSbipPnRD
“No ma’am. I’m afraid that I’m done telling stories about Peter Pan,” Wendy said sadly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlpe9vTesO
“Really? Whatever for?” she asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEBJMGQUWy
Wendy sighed and looked down. “Well, father doesn’t like me telling them.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5X543c1e1
“I see,” said Miss Jane and she walked over to her desk and sat down. “Come Wendy.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHCulyu7WI
Wendy walked over to her desk. Miss Jane opened her drawer and took out a needle then she looked back up at Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPFZgaia2O
“Wendy, do you know what this is?” she asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4djqIykr1L
“It is a needle ma’am,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLcGagoXXa
“Are you sure?” she asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5jO6yt0FZ
“Yes…I’m quite sure,” Wendy said. She was starting to get confused. Was Miss Jane seeing something different than she was?
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlwouE1lQ9
“It couldn’t possibly be anything else?” she asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAnDd7biHh
“Well…it could be a weapon of some sort,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgzJQbABs5
“A weapon? What kind?” she asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDbF8ANOBp
“I don’t know ma’am. It’s tiny, so it wouldn’t really be a very useful weapon,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eNM3OGEPj
“You’re absolutely right. What do you think could use a weapon like this?” she asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6SonQ0QxK
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjnQ9Bdav7
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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlgWkdgFFE
Wendy looked down but then she smiled and looked back up at Miss Jane. “Thank you ma’am,” she said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uUGMcm4Fc
Miss Jane laughed a little, “Now run along dear.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGkncGun15
Wendy nodded and rushed out of the classroom.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06cvYNoPIb
Wendy was supposed to walk home with John and Michael every day. They were waiting for her outside of the school.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCJL3rAz5O
“Wendy! Where have you been?” asked John.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb6dzkPDcX
“Miss Jane had a conversation with me,” she said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoFLhpJihj
“Are you in trouble?” asked John.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdqPRj7bkR
She smiled, “The opposite actually.” She took Michael’s hand and they all walked towards their house.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvzPyJstDX
“You’re in a good mood Wendy,” said Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GT67Itf4W
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUHhok1c0Q
“What?” asked John and Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5G0zFHmOI
“Flying!” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Y4efFuo5
Michael and John looked at each other then laughed. They all spread our arms and ran down the street and pretended they were flying.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUumMzAUnfA
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMivgA8gdYZ
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4EWlalU3Z
The man kept walking as if nothing happened. He didn’t even realize his hat was gone.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoQrqqBkU0
“Wendy, Wendy, let’s fly to the park!” shouted Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5sgClAcKo
“A very good idea Michael, come on John!” Wendy called. They “flew” to the park and ran around in the grass.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSii89zOGFS
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpvzl6qqQU
“Wendy, does this mean you will tell more Peter Pan stories?” asked Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx0Mmv9wix
“Yes Michael, I can’t possibly stop telling you stories,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBWKNJt45h
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk85vYfE9H
“Is that so?” asked Mr. Darling once he walked over to Wendy and the boys.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jUCnHouPf
Wendy gasped and she and the boys all sat up and stared at their father who was standing before them with his arms crossed.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw29qn3YyS
“Father,” Wendy said and she and the boys stood up quickly. Wendy smoothed out her gray uniform dress and her white apron.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9mogxnO2v
John and Michael stood close to their sister. They all awaited what Mr. Darling would say.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU3661uniB
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAFWNGY4zt
“No father no!” yelled Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaU5276Udg
Wendy felt her stomach drop and her heartbeat quicken.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ799IY2Aycr
“Come with me young lady. John, take your brother home,” said Mr. Darling and he grabbed Wendy’s hand.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1CrM3euJg
“Father please,” said John.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquftVqVtUi
“That’s an order young man,” he snapped at John.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdv8pHb5CT
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!
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbpgVOSSQf
Mr. Darling led Wendy away.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh3vWIMRVi
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt6iqjzk68
“Not another word Wendy. I mean it!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGgucc3gw7
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUMrW8otJD
“Taxi!” yelled Mr. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHXYsn5Ldd
A horse and buggy stopped in front of them and Wendy climbed into it and Mr. Darling followed in after her.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTFbMcknJW
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p7M1J83Fm
Wendy couldn’t stop. She was terrified and she was never going to be able to even think of Peter Pan anymore.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbhuKcPQQv
“Wendy, something has to be done! I don’t know what else to do,” said Mr. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP76Gw3vwx
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKy0Jdhspw
“Can I help you?” asked a woman.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCf2kYOPKw
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjD3H9v9ck
“Uh, do you mean her mental health?” asked the woman.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrvt924dgg
“Yes.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKEFhJPEUk
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OyEQhffku
Mr. Darling grabbed Wendy’s hand and walked up to Doctor Burns.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wkfM8EYg9
“Are you Doctor Burns?” he asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejWzH1Dmfa
“Yes sir, can I help you?” he asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwitsJQ5B6
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjJwMUknEG
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ6Yw0tiNV
Wendy knew what this man was. He wasn’t a doctor. He must have been a pirate.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T5xN2XIMl
“Oh?” asked Mr. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDePKUysPKK
“Yes, follow me,” he said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh8R6AXHdm
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlK6ZcMVFX
“Father,” Wendy said and she rushed into his arms and sobbed.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzNK6D41AI
“I-I’m so sorry Wendy. This isn’t right. You don’t belong here,” he said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOT0v4oziW
“Problem sir?” asked Doctor Burns.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNNdbHM1FQ
“Yes, my daughter doesn’t belong here. She isn’t crazy,” said Mr. Darling and he held Wendy’s hand tightly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpw0nxPK9u
“Why such a sudden change of mind?” asked Doctor Burns.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGiRqw9fTS
“My daughter is perfectly normal. She just takes her stories too literally sometimes,” he said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutLtF0jkOL
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V2T1pgJbM
Mr. Darling took the pills, “What will they do?”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe6A7qnDL8
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CLge7pBAY
Mr. Darling nodded then he and Wendy rushed out of the hospital.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrphqecghX
“Wendy will you ever forgive me?” asked Mr. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67vIvxjytq
“I don’t think it’s me you will need forgiveness from,” Wendy said. “Mother is going to be furious.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm03axCkkD
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBP8iLSYjR
John and Michael rushed down the stairs and joined in on the hug. Nana jumped in as well.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6PX5FtxsV
Mrs. Darling looked up and the children themselves had never seen her look so mad in their lives.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp4dbxJucE
“George Darling! Have you gone absolutely mad?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaHSHP2mOG
“Now Mary, I admit that I was being a bit rash…” started Mr. Darling
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG530AYdFcO
“A bit rash? Do you realize what you could have done to our daughter?” demanded Mrs. Darling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xBBqtRPiN
“Now you listen here Mary. I admitted I was wrong. That is that, it’s over. Forget about it,” said George.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYZZx917jT
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV2W8PHTH5
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZUPjgAsQM
Nana responded with a bark.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9LPzGtpTh
John, Michael, and Wendy all walked up the stairs and they walked into Wendy’s room. Wendy placed the pills on her nightstand.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9g70c0bzr
“What happened Wendy?” asked John.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjmPzAjlUJ
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx3BFOpqJO
“A pirate? What makes you say that?” asked John.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAMgZmIa1Y
“His cold, dark eyes looked at me in a terrifying way. And he had a solid gold tooth in his mouth,” she said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3QyezLf5d
“A gold tooth?” asked Michael. “I don’t remember seeing a pirate with a gold tooth.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh5WhfCih1
“That’s what I was thinking. Maybe he’s a new pirate,” she said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiunC9b88B
Suddenly Nana rushed up to Wendy and barked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5nsxM34w0
“Oh fine,” she said. She walked back over to her night stand and grabbed the the pill bottle.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB1N5O9V6N
“No Wendy, if the pirate gave you those then you shouldn’t take them,” said Michael.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0BiJOlJJl
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSH1LJcXWA
Nana balanced a tray on her head with a cup of water on it. Wendy took the cup and thanked her.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyeqFcf6uD
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRHjHHoqPI
They looked a bit suspicious.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYArZKJFIpp
“I’m fine, see?” Wendy asked. “Now, I’m going to change into my nightdress if you don’t mind.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TUVVI5kpJ
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUZbfrSpK3
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPX33WGRaa
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx7a9B7T5B
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJTZt07I7W
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwcUx8dk4B
Peter raised an eyebrow then flew down to Mary and George Darling’s window. They were asleep too.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZMiI3VZkz
Where was Wendy?
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz6eWyNPwx
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihE6Wnp28L
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQWgsbOjHE
Peter wanted to try and stop her, but he promised that he wouldn’t interact with Wendy or anyone else from London ever again.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHfgEYiuWk
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli5s4cWJRL
Wendy walked for blocks, then she finally stopped in front of a hospital. Peter flew onto the roof of the hospital and peeked over.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7gm4yH6tb
The door opened and a man walked forward towards Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBeoWkjsJI
“Welcome back Wendy,” said the man in a harsh cruel voice.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA6ebxnheC
Wendy didn’t respond.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD79azRSKKF
Another man came out and Peter narrowed his eyes. It was Hook. Peter could recognize that codfish anywhere.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhrjFI3sVT
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R9ZCD4YsL
Peter reached into his belt and pulled out his dagger.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYJxIDRLZO
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRrRVwhZS6
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZxRhQxbAL
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsTDSTHLbm
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz1LIZLNA4
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQkneZmTwn
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYWoB4Gx1e
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mRiE5AbaG
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluFlwfepW2
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vYeVAi7GE
She threw the covers off of her and stepped onto the wooden floor. Then the floor moved and she fell against the bed.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLcalBO5gR
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKus1ap6N7C
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBLQXMPSbP
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…
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7at7tCKYX
“Wendy, you’re awake,” said Hook from behind her.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD7K73zuWP
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchaqj9EgkU
“Oh Wendy, my dear, why the sword? We are old friends aren’t we?” asked Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Uyv7Z6Mu
“Not at all. Why did you bring me here Hook?” Wendy asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X5hjMyfDL
“My dear sweet child, I brought you here because you needed to come here,” said Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKrDW3gBx5
“What?” asked Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRiF4Eyat8
“Come Wendy, sit, have some breakfast,” said Hook. He gestured to the table.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm1kdM7Hqn
Wendy didn’t move.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHc0GxoXDy
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofBFyUSZQv
“And what makes you think I’ll take it?” Wendy asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIitm5BfMp7
“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?”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOjlKruVrs
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kmSejCIbk
“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?”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAadN1TuGS4
Wendy didn’t say anything but her sword lowered a bit.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmeDNdLCGs
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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5MQUTnHcx
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx8fwudBv6
“What do you say my dear?” asked Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CAdeJP4qb
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MYtCaLlAm
“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?”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuVgWe5654
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq2XVlO8fN
“Excellent my dear,” said Hook. “Now, come with me dear, I’ll get you some proper clothes to wear.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiZ0AxiMcE
“Why am I in this dress?” asked Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRhM0QeyLM
“You were under a sleep walking spell. We didn’t want you to trip and fall,” said Hook simply.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9QqnAieFP
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGx3T5pVpB

“If you see one of the Indians, shoot them,” said Peter with a devilish smile.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEWxVdPbrd
Suddenly the Lost Boys were attacked and tied up by the Indians. Even Peter was taken by surprise.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtss0Z9w98
“We win,” laughed Tigerlily.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS89ehAVCzQ
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJpzUseoxv
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL0f8nd26R
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6MfG9E0G7
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoIpPVjzvv
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo84CeRG7xd
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhOeH6ebQt
“A different name?” Wendy asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmIpVNd1QE
“Yes, Wendy doesn’t seem like a very terrifying name now does it?” asked Hook. “What was your full name again?”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl2DA3pznR
“Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GJeynVC2d
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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYwnYZVJbH
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb6jVP04Dx
“Very well then. Just call me Moira,” said Wendy, er, Moira.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKGePOyIt2
“Excellent my dear. Excellent, are you finished? I think it’s a good time for a story. What do you think?” Captain Hook asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOrTFi8ImP
Moira couldn’t help but smile and nod.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM3sgjQyy4
Hook escorted her out of the cabin and onto the deck.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT21rGmJx7B
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5FRqeb2Zy
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64zucP5WNm
“Well, what would you all like to hear?” Moira asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkiW3XlUug

Tigerlily walked over and sat next to him.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0PYandyue
“You are distracted,” she said.

Peter laughed and shook his head. “I’m not distracted. I’m just observing the fire.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoaqTKl1G2
“You are distracted…by what?” asked Tigerlily.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5H5Ggx9mq
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7psMERBsju
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTJKNvax73
Tigerlily smiled and zipped her lips.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcxi9za68a
“I’ve been seeing Wendy. I’ve been going to London and listening to her stories,” said Peter.

1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOu00tzmMc
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo39BH0RH4J
“So Wendy is in Neverland on Hook’s ship right now?” asked Tigerlily once Peter was finished.

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.

“I have a favor,” said Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tFmPmOqmf
“Of course,” said Aqua.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHcP3bAdI5
“I need you to go to Hook’s ship…” started Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHggNraS7n
“Hook?” asked all of the mermaids and they instantly became terrified.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew2ISTN8CM
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZQbXH3bau
“Wendy?” asked Aqua.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSDup5ipzG
“That name does sound familiar doesn’t it?” asked Shelly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19wMyUtOvU
Pearl gasped and said, “That was the little girl in the blue dress! Remember, we tried to down her.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjPafk4tYJ
The mermaids giggled and I snickered. That was pretty funny, but Wendy sure didn’t think so.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ROOHpUWf
“Why would we do this Peter? The girl is absolutely disturbing,” said Shelly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LjoMuwTfj
The other mermaids nodded in agreement.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIrF7Iao8F
“Please girls, she could be in big trouble,” Peter said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQb53jYxz8
“No way Peter. We will not risk our lives for some…little girl,” said Pearl.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0UFwknOPB
Peter frowned then smiled as an idea bloomed in his mind.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmqnIfWa7Z
“I’ll give you some of the gems from Hook’s treasure. They would look beautiful on all of you,” said Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQkpvuwXDH
The mermaids looked thoughtful. Pearl and Shelly looked to Aqua who was kind of the leader of the group.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1MBfj9GI0
Aqua sighed the nodded, “Very well Peter. We will listen for Wendy in return for some of Hook’s jewels.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ391WLKBdJL
“Thanks ladies,” said Peter and he took off his hat and bowed to them.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1oxLEoPJP
They all giggled then dove back into the water and swam towards Hook’s ship.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJgCiD2Tva
Aqua led them under the ship and she turned to her sisters. “Just listen for Wendy’s name,” she said to them.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbDPAZAJiW
Shelly and Pearl nodded.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOoIUU805c
They all slowly rose above the surface and moved their hair out of their faces.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzqZqzVvn4
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgxlH5H4Uk
“Time for her to get to bed now,” said Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84qIYcnByI
The crew booed and complained.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRH5wMEaPF
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pCMSeFRKw
“Excellent. Our plan is working smoothly,” said Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7vCd8NeEv
“I still don’t get the point Cap’n,” said one of the crew members.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR399dKyFGG
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI6qyhVSgB
Aqua turned to her sisters.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBRznNobwk
“We should go back Aqua. I think we have enough information,” said Shelly fearfully.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidQ1TmhdP2
“Very well,” said Aqua and she and her sister raced back to Mermaid Lagoon.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3dDOfVzUO
They made it to the rock where Peter hovered cross-legged. They surfaced and Peter uncrossed his legs and landed on the rock.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXhN1cux3J
“Hook has become more and more brutal Peter,” said Shelly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbkWueLmp3
“He just killed one of his crew members,” said Pearl.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGqZLBZpc0
“We have some news…but we don’t know if it will help,” said Aqua.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQN1A2rerl
“Was Wendy mentioned?” asked Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmsAM8hE7Q
Aqua shook her head.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcrfq7S03D
“She wasn’t?” asked Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvc1w0k5Xd
“No, but a girl named Moira was. She was the only female crew member we had ever seen,” said Shelly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7lswbTmm5
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1xXezlsmt
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZEvhyD3d7
“My name is Wendy, Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” she had said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh1UJ7NwUq
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWronrBnzXh

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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j2AixUO8k
“Come in,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DnMhBm5mv
“Hello Miss Moira,” said Mr. Smee.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvfTP3nZEg
“Hello,” said Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicJ5NhYBxJ
“The Captain would like to see you for breakfast,” he said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYn5Y9m2Nd
Wendy nodded. “Tell him that I’ll be there in a moment,” she said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HWZpouJe8
“Yes ma’am,” said Mr. Smee and he left closing the door after him.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzYuCEY3I5
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iko7gyPaa
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTOSyi1kDt
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ9nuxH9sl
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…
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UPL2eW9Kw
And…what?
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQih50ged4O
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7cbjW4ItD
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WM0fwGoOX
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvpNEBADYb
Suddenly she heard Hook above her.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf961shYaPr
“What are you waiting for? Get her!” yelled Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8QmoS5OIq
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A1DQDIQPF
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u9FvXugtU
“Get her!” yelled Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZF2pQKdQT
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoezlD9HXjR
Then she heard something that was like music to her ears.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDe4Mvm1Vh
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOka2Kw2i5
She peered behind the ship and saw the crocodile’s eyes looking at Hook with hunger.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcEplpY9sW
“SMEE!” cried Hook and Wendy giggled as the pirates scrambled to get back in the ship.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJTLkGA2bJ
“Never change old codfish,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadaGuaAzNc
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwsFKwxK0c
Then, her eyes closed, and she drifted off to sleep.

Tinkerbell looked at Peter with a pout on her face.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujcnf5lqys
“Oh come on Tink, we haven’t played trick on old Hook in a long time,” he said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeXzmlyRZx
“That old codfish doesn’t deserve our presence,” she jingled.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XLIBMCSg1
“Come on Tink, please? You never know what we might find,” said Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3xhLrrbLj
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQmCMBorDi
“Yeah come on Tink!” yelled the Lost Boys.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSRpD1hXhW
Tinkerbell sighed but jingled, “Fine.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk6jICtTCc
The Lost Boys cheered and Peter smiled and nodded.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ziq64KyM9
“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?”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9TLadxxdN
“But, uh, what if we get stabbed?” asked Cubby.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv12UKYoBd
Peter leaned in close with a grin on his face. “Then you will die a very painfully slow death.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv4YGBuryX
“So, don’t get stabbed!” yelled Slightly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCcFsMwp4S
The boys all cheered.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaeS7jz0bU
“Tink,” Peter looked to Tink.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92MutzxBnB
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DMhsdsaGh
“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.

1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcxukRa3H9
The boys flew over to Hook’s ship and they hid behind the sail.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo6TcjxCfv
“Okay, on my signal,” said Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8IQqlPfHC
The boys nodded and held their hands over their mouths to keep from giggling.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm0ENW8VZz
The crew was either sleeping, or playing games on board. Hook was nowhere to be seen.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtnUEt5xOc
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL61CkWMCb
“Mr. Smee…where is the crew?” asked Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qepfd6qeH
“Uh…on board Cap’n,” said Smee.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkql7tFu2tA
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!”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujFfy8URt4
“M-Moira Cap’n?” asked Smee.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiboc3KNXZ
“Yes Moira! Of course Moira! Who else?” demanded Hook and he tossed Smee aside.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeku1mZ3XYD
Peter raised an eyebrow and continued to listen. Was Wendy not on the ship anymore?
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K5vOg0Q7O
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkdgIDWIbq
Peter had heard enough. He would teach that old codfish. He shoved open the window and flew into Hook’s room.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvJ4YdDdjO
“Pan!” exclaimed Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8kjo1UT4U
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk5u5ZYhy7
“Smee! Alert the crew!” yelled Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx6pKsDrYl
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYMqzsiWNn
They all shot up and drew their swords.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ1xDLrSbb
“All right boys! Let ‘em have it!” yelled Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0wZYJvAvy
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAmsB6UxOA
Peter laughed and watched from the crow’s nest. Tinkerbell crossed her arms and stood on Peter’s shoulder.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLFBWiY6Fc
“Peter, something isn’t right. I can feel it,” said Tinkerbell.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtQUV5OqLi
“Come on Tink, loosen up,” said Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsHBzHKZ2c
“Pan! Get down here. I have something to discuss with you,” yelled Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYr5ALzrck
Peter knew exactly what he was going to say. But he flew down near Hook anyway. Tinkerbell followed close behind.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7RsVI7zNN
“Now Pan, I need you to fetch someone for me,” said Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMlo2nQ6qf
“Oh? And what makes you think I’ll do anything for a codfish?” asked Peter with a smirk.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVivA6qxGfc
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMGuJqmfOE
“Let go of me! Peter help me!” cried little Tinkerbell.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirh56j2yJ1
“Let her go Hook,” said Peter and he took his dagger out.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6IistDF5B
“Of course I’ll let her go. But first, you must bring me Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” said Hook with a sneer.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZMPno8tYA
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?”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz03ns8PC1
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ6gkHufek
“You go too far Hook,” Peter said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLK3NrBjDG
“This isn’t a game boy. The rules are very clear. Now, what is your decision?” asked Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUdwAKn2K9
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmEajaNybx
“Tick-tock boy,” sneered Hook and he squeezed his hand and Tinkerbell shrieked in pain.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRAA6ulhwQ
“Stop! I-I’ll do it. I’ll bring Wendy to you,” Peter said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj73tSYuyZa
“Good boy. Miss Bell will be safe with me until you return,” said Hook.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4iObeH4ab
“I’ll be back Tink. I promise. Do you hear me?” asked Peter.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesjNVXvBJo
Tinkerbell nodded.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LI1aJU7ju
“Let’s go boys,” Peter said and they all flew back to the island.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3FMkvwrD9
“What do we do Peter?” asked Slightly.

The tide washed over Wendy and she gasped and spluttered and coughed up water. She stood and wrung her shirt out and her hair. She had to figure out what to do now. She couldn’t just sit on the beach all day. She turned and walked into the forest.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaFwQ4sE2w
She walked for miles and she was exhausted and hungry and thirsty.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipwEdFy6Dr
Suddenly she saw some light ahead. She walked toward it and found herself on the beach again.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbuibeJPkk
She gave a frustrated yell and sat in the sand. She yelped from pain and reached under her and picked up a spring.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDnT1xZff5
That’s when she realized that the sand was hiding small objects that were only found in her world…not Neverland.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFFNgiaFgS
Suddenly she heard a jingling sound…a sound that only a fairy would make.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b4p4hAUXZ
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB1TbRFnhe
Wendy jumped up and rescued the small fairy. She coughed and spluttered. She couldn’t fly because of her wings.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZUaKesnOJ
“I’m not going to hurt you. I promise. Can you help me?” asked Wendy to the small fairy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ846780gyYn
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUPqGOmGxx
“Do you know Tinkerbell?” asked Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf1QCYlMk7
The fairy stopped and stared at Wendy. It jingled questioningly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9JuSlUlcJ
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwZDyBt0eO
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzYttdYDNu
“Yes, yes, Tinkerbell. You know her?” asked Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcDirTq6Fo
The fairy nodded. She started to do gestures of how Tinkerbell left a long time ago.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw3EuBKOb6
“So you don’t know where she is?” asked Wendy sadly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPjOGqcjN7
The fairy shook her head. Then she pointed to the spring in Wendy’s hand.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTMUM1gHdS
“What? The spring?” Wendy asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPgqePBk1I
The fairy jingled and nodded.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyKYo5eX1a
“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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhRFcYyuus
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18vIdGQg7l
“What am I going to do?” Wendy asked herself.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBE2JzGNRV
Suddenly the little fairy flew up over to her.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyGSxzxL9N
“Oh, it’s you again. Have you found Tinkerbell?” Wendy asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMhQPJsXT3
The fairy shook her head. She jingled and made large hand motions.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ0vHWIR6T
“I’m sorry. I can’t understand you,” said Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKulX4SIiIR
The fairy tugged at her hair and gestured for her to follow.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTULnxfyp18
“Alright,” said Wendy and she followed the fairy. They rushed through the forest. Wendy tried to keep up with the fairy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwaoWQbovG
Suddenly she stopped in a field. Wendy stopped and tried to catch her breath.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPp0e1yYeQ
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.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMme827qzNx
She told Wendy her name: Vidia.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wDwGgcqKZ
“It’s nice to meet you Vidia, I’m Wendy,” said Wendy.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPa8uwsjmf
Vidia jingled.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZRPOixxdy
Then she formed more words: Tinkerbell is a good friend of mine.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri4GUeXFtM
“But you don’t know where she is?” Wendy asked.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAjhOCX8uw
Vidia wrote: no, but she usually was with Peter Pan.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfsYCWPJmc
“Well I know that,” Wendy said.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GEQ8txyXs
Vidia looked at her questioningly.
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4lrF5tyKC
“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.”
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnblLVHLjf
Vidia wrote: Peter Pan?
1180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsQH4YPAL6
“No, I can’t ask Peter. I…I would prefer he didn’t know I was here,” Wendy said.
