Chapter 2

Once they got home, Maria went straight upstairs and started packing. She grabbed all of her clothes and shoved them into the two suitcases. Then, she found her beauty products and threw them into a duffle bag. Sasha and Ally sat in the room and kept
/her company while she gathered her things.

In the evening, it was time for Maria to go home. She couldn't wait. She could just tell that it was going to be the summer that she finally would defeat Peter Pan. She figured that her father already had a plan that included her.

She said good-bye to Sasha, Ally, and Margret. Then she headed out the door and into the warm, fresh air. It smelled of new mulch and flowers. She pulled her suitcases all the way to the dock, where Maria's father said he would pick her up. After a while
/of waiting, Maria looked at Big Ben to see what time it was. 11:00 o'clock. Hook said he would have been there two hours ago. She began to worry. What if he got hurt in a battle? she began to think.

Just then, an amazing array of colors came from the sky. Maria's eyes widened at the sight. The explosion came from the second star to the right. And for a brief second, she could see Neverland.

The ship blocked her view, though. But she didn't care. It only meant that she was going to see her dad. As soon as he ship landed gracefully on the water, Hook went off the boat and onto the dock. He ran toward Maria, and wrapped his arms around her.

Maria did the same. "Dad!" She screamed with joy.

"Maria!" He said with the same amount of enthusiasm. "Oh, I've missed you so much! And, look how much you've grown!" Maria backed up and spun around slowly so Hook could get a better look at her. "You look so much like your mother!" He said proudly.

"Thanks."

"So, how was life like while being a lubber?" he joked.

"Not as good as being a pirate, of course. But, it was fine," Maria laughed.

"Well, let's get you all settled in!" Hook said while grabbing her suitcases. Maria looked at the Jolly Roger flag waving proudly in the air; she was glad to be home. Then, she walked aboard the giant ship and went directly to her room. Hook followed
/her and set the baggage down on her bed.

Maria instantly unpacked her things and put her bags under her bed. Once she stood back up, she saw a light blue dress and a note sitting on top of it. She picked the note up and read it. It said to put the dress on and find Hook. "Oh gosh," she sighed.

Maria held the dress up in front of her. Automatically, she knew what it was meant to be - Wendy's dress. She quickly took off her clothes, and gloves, and slipped the dress on. Maria cringed when she saw it on herself in the mirror. Then, she struck
/her best Wendy pose. After about one second, her shoulders slumped.

After that, she went over to her dad's room, knowing he would be getting ready. "Why the heck am I wearing this?" Maria asked annoyed.

"It's all part of a plan I came up with," Hook replied. "You'll be tied up against the mast, which will make Peter come and try to save you. Then, I'll run him through with my sword."

"Dad, can I be square with you right now?"

"What?" Hook knew that she wasn't happy.

"Wendy grew up and died! And, Peter is smarter than you think! He'll know it's me!"

"Not if you stay in character!"

"Dad, I don't even look like her!"

"Yes you do! You both have blue eyes and brown hair. Sure, your hair is longer, but he'll be so happy to see you that he won't notice."

"Well, what happens if you don't run him through?" Maria crossed her arms, annoyed.

"You do it!" He poked her on the chest.

"What? If I carry a sword, he'll see it." A knot formed in her stomach.

Hook handed her a small flip blade and pointed at it. "You can hide this in your hand."

"And, what do I do if he knows it's me?"

"Do what you have been taught to do, fight."

"Okay," she said insecurely. She had never won against him before.

Hook could tell she was nervous. "Hey, you're going to be fine. I won't let you get hurt."

"Okay. I trust you." Maria said. She sat down on Hook's bed and thought about how to be Wendy. She didn't know her that well. Wendy always had a sparkle in her eyes, and she loved Peter. That was going to be hard to pull off.

Then, Mr. Smee came walking in with a plate of fried chicken for her. "Hey, Maria! Welcome home!" he said cheerfully. Carefully, he handed the plate to her and sat down. He was excited for her to be home; she was a big help when it came to doing chores.

"Thanks!" she said, gladly taking the food. She loved being with Smee. He always was super nice to her. He would take care of her while she was sick when Hook was busy ordering the crew around. They were very close. All she had to do was call his name,
/and she knew that he would be there.

After she was finished with her meal, Smee took it to the kitchen for her. Then, Hook decided it was a good time to start his plan. By the end of the day, the dreadful boy would be dead and he would finally be avenged. He began to tie a light blue ribbon
/in Maria's hair. He pulled too hard once and made her wince. Once she was all ready, he led her outside and quickly tied her to the mast. She hated being forced to play the damsel in distress. She believed that girls could free themselves without
/any help from boys.

She was there for about thirty minutes before she calling out Peter's name in her best English accent. "Petah! Help me! I'm scared!"

"Nice job!" Hook complemented.

They waited another minute to see if he would show up. But, there was still no sign of him. "What's taking him so long?" Maria whispered.

"I don't know! He should be here."

"Is he even in Neverland?"

"Yes! Just hold on!" Hook whispered harshly. Maria shut up after that. She knew he was getting upset, and when he was upset, nothing she said could make it any better. "I know," he started, "I need you on the plank!"

"Wait, what? No!That's dangerous!"

"You'll be fine! Now c'mon!" He untied the rope and then used a shorter piece to tie her wrists behind her back. He used the softest kind he could find to prevent rope burn.

Maria then walked onto the wobbly plank and tried stay balanced; however, it was very hard to do so while her hands were stuck behind her. She turned her head to look at her dad. He knew she wasn't happy because she was frowning. He gave her a little
/smile, trying to cheer her up. She sighed and walked all the way up to the edge. There, she stood with perfect posture.

All of the sudden, she saw a shadow cast on one of the sails. It was Peter's shadow. She cleared her throat to get Hook's attention. He looked at her, confused. She pointed up with her eyes to the sail. He looked and instantly pulled out his sword.

Then, the boy who was wearing all green, sliced the sail open and flew down to Hook. "Hey, Captain!" he said with a smile. "Ready to lose your other hand?"

Maria rolled her eyes about him being totally oblivious about her on the plank. "Not today," Hook began.

"Petah!" Maria yelled, trying to act excited.

He turned suddenly to the sound of a girl's voice. "Wendy!" He was so happy to see her again. Then he turned serious. "Let her go, Hook!"

"Only once you're dead!"

"In your dreams, Codfish!" Peter drew his knife.

"Why don't we see about that?" And with that, Hook swung his sword at Peter. He dodged it while keeping his eyes on Maria. She tried to have a desperate look in her eyes. He then went to fighting as best as he could, obviously trying to impress her.

For some strange reason, Maria couldn't help the fact that she actually liked him fighting for her freedom. Even though he was the reason for most of her stress, for the first time, she saw why everyone saw him as a hero. "Watch this, Wendy!" Peter shouted.
/Maria did intently. She couldn't keep her eyes off of the two of them fighting.

At one point, one pirate snuck up behind Peter and was about to stab him. Maria didn't want to watch him die. She yelled as loud as she could, "Peter, behind you!"

Hook stared at her in shock. He couldn't believe she helped him. Peter moved out of the way of the sword that threatened him. Then, he flew up out of Hook's reach and swung on the rope connecting the masts together. Hook looked around in frustration.

When he did, he saw a massive wave heading towards the boat. He turned to look at Maria, who was still on the plank. He knew she wouldn't be able to stay on there when that wave hit the boat. "Get off there! Now!" Hook yelled at Maria. She staredat
/him, very confused. She didn't understand why he wanted her off of the plank, but she started to make her way back to him.

Then, the wave crashed into the other side of the ship, making everyone lose their balance. Maria was thrown off the plank and into the water. She wasn't able to swim because her hands were tied. She panicked, which didn't exactly help her sinking throughthe
/warm water.

Peter saw her go overboard. He quickly came down onto the deck and looked over the edge of the ship. So did Hook. They both looked at each other, equally afraid. Hook began to move toward the plank, but Peter beat him to it.

Peter went onto the plank and used it like a diving board. He went under the surface and looked around for her. He spotted her near the bottom of the ocean and swam toward her. Maria hadn't been underwater long but was desperately in need of air. Her
/struggles to get free were getting weaker and weaker. She said goodbye to her life, not knowing Peter was coming to save her.
