Peter Pan's Labyrinth
Chapter 2
For some reason, I have to reiterate this.
I DON'T OWN ANYTHING THAT'S COPYRIGHTED
Wendy was late for dinner, so Hook sent her to bed without supper. Wendy's mother was too sick to even be visited in her room, so Wendy had nothing to do. Bobble was flying close by. Nobody notice him as he was disguised as a dragonfly. When they got to Wendy's room, however, he turned back into a fairy.
"Why do you think I'm the Princess Wendy that the Piper told me I was?" she asked him not expecting a response.
"Well, Wendy," Bobble responded in a kind of high voice with a Scottish accent, "every fairy recognizes their child, no matter if their child doesn't recognize them."
"You can talk?" Wendy asked, rather surprised.
"Of course I can talk, Wendy. More importantly, though, you can understand me."
"Why is that important?"
"Only a fairy's child can understand them. You remember when Miss Bell was talking to Pe… Piper? You only heard a tinkling of bells."
"What were you about to refer to the Piper as?" she interrogated.
"I'm glad to know that you are getting back to being acquainted with Bobble, Princess Wendy," The Piper told her, walking out of the shadows of her room, "I have come to tell you what the first task is."
"What is it?" she asked, brimming with anticipation.
"A mile from the Lost One's base, there is a statue with great value to you. You might not recognize it, but is called, at the moment, Slightly Shattered. Guarding the statue is a gargoyle called the Tootles. Said gargoyle will help you as far as a yard full of statues. You must find the Slightly Shattered and wake it up. It won't get up unless you remember how to wake it up. Good luck," the Piper said going so far as to give her a hug. She felt something strangely right and familiar brush her consciousness during the hug. As the contact ended, she noticed that his face had fewer holes in it, and, if she squinted, she could almost make out a mouth.
"How's Tink?" Bobble asked the Piper.
She misses you fiercely, but why don't you ask her yourself?" the Piper asked him, pointing at the fairy flying right over his shoulder. Tink flew at Bobble and gave him a long kiss.
"Yuck!" the Piper teased his fairy, causing her to smirk at him and tinkle something that made him stammer at her. Regaining his composure, he shouted, "My dearest one does not do that!"
Wendy felt kind of left out in the conversation, and also depressed. She had been kind of hoping that the Piper was single, because she had thought that he had feelings for her. Evidently this was only his job. He must have had somebody waiting for him in this "Neverland" that he had mentioned. However, she was hoping that if he stuck around long enough, the Piper might get feelings for her. I'll see if he does like me, she thought hopefully wishing that he did.
