The boy and fairy began discussing the artist's capture.

After many days of careful planning, the boy and the fairy returned to The Darling Home. The boy saw Ren in her usual place, next to her bed with her paints. As silent as anything, Tink, the fairy, flew in the window and began to dust Ren with fairy dust. Only this dust did not make her fly. This was a new type of dust that produced deep sleep. The boy watched in delight as Ren's eyes closed. She started to fall backward, but the boy caught her. "Well done Tink!" he whispered. Tink the dusted Ren a second time but this time using the dust meant for flight. Feeling the girl become weightless in his arms, the boy flew out the window with her and closely followed by Tinkerbell. They flew and flew. Past planets, past comets and stars they flew, all the way to the second star to the right and straight on till morning. They had reached Neverland at last.

Ren awoke from a good sleep to find herself in quite a situation. She was on her side and a pair of strong tanned arms were around her. She was terrified! 'What happened?!! Did I get into another bed by mistake!?!?? Oh how embarrassing!!!' She carefully got up and unwound the arms from her waist. She had not disturbed whoever---'wait a minute!' she thought, 'this isn't an orphanage bed!!!' she slowly took in her surroundings. It was fairly dark except for a faint glow coming from a hole in a---"TREE?!?!?" she almost gasped and broke the spell of silence cast upon the room. She felt as though she had heard of such a place before but when she tried to remember, she was swallowed up by a huge headache. Recovering, again she looked around. There were many beds in the room and inside them were fuzzy figures. She didn't even try and guess where she was now. She just searched for a way out. She noticed a large hole in the room she was in. Upon further inspection, it appeared to be a tunnel. 'Where in the world am I?!?!' she thought again. She began to make her way up the steep and slippery tunnel. It wasn't too hard because she was still wearing her every day clothes and her converse, which provided some grip on the steep tunnel. At last she made her way to the top where many vines hung down. She pushed them aside and stepped out into the warm air. She still had the familiar twinge that one gets when they know they have seen or heard of a place before, but again the same headache joined in. She pushed the painful thoughts aside and began walking. Clearly, she had been taken somewhere outdoors and quite a long way from home. She continued to walk through, what now seemed something like a jungle. She heard many frightening noises and she was really quite afraid, but she didn't cry. She hadn't cried once, since her mother and sisters funeral. The part of her that she had lost contained all her important emotions: love, happiness, lively-ness and quite a few others. As she wondered through the jungle, she spotted a tree that looked easy to climb and appeared to have many good places to hide and to sleep. Ren climbed up the tree and found some branches and fronds that formed a sort of canopy, and there she slept.

The boy stirred in his sleep and his hand groped around for the warm body that had been pressed against him just moments ago. Finding nothing, he awoke with a start to find the bed empty, except for himself, and the girl gone!! 'she escaped' he thought. He felt anger building inside him. "LOST BOYS!!!!" He yelled. Suddenly the room became alive with moving bodies and sleepy groans. He stood on his bed and said, "the girl who can do magic with her hands is gone!" the twins said in unision, "You mean she escaped?" the boy felt anger well up within him again "FIND HER AND BRING HER BACK!!!" none of the lost boys had seen the boy that angry before and scattered, exiting the tree. The boy flew from the tree and thought angrily to himself, "I WILL find her"

Not knowing that she was being searched for, when Ren next awoke, she got down from her tree and searched for a decent place to wash up. She came across the Mermaids Lagoon. She saw the water before she saw the mermaids. She shed her clothes and waded into the water. The mermaids decided to observe her before drowning her. They were intrigued by her bravery in coming the water so they decided to see what she would do.

The boy flew over the Indians home and over the Pirate Ship and to the Mermaids Lagoon. All the mermaids waved to him and offered him shouts of hello. All but one. Her back was to him and she was scooping up water in her hands and letting it run down her body and rinsing away the grit and grime that had rested there. Not seeing her lower half or her face he assumed she was just another Mermaid. He wanted to move on to continue searching for the girl but the mermaids wailed in sadness when he tried to leave. So he sat on a rock and started conversing with them. Ren, hearing the hushed tones of male and female voices turned and saw the boy that had been holding her while she slept surrounded by 'MERMAIDS?!?!?' she whipped back around so that she would go unnoticed and began edging her way towards her clothes. Seeing the quiet mermaid start making her way towards shore, the boy called out to her " where are you going??" To afraid to turn around she swam as fast as she could towards shore. "HEY WAIT!!" the boy called out. But as he tried to fly towards her but the mermaids held him back in fits of jealousy. Ren jumped out of the Lagoon grabbing her clothes as she ran. She ran back to her tree and put her clothes on. As the tears started she thought to herself "how could this have happened?!!? Who is that boy?!!? How can he fly!?! Why is he everywhere I go!?!?" she curled up and tried to collect herself. As the lost boys continued to search for her and the other boy tried to free himself from the mermaids Ren tried to think of a plan to escape.
