They were neck en neck. Marry, Tink and Peter were skimming the tops of the trees, closing in fast on Hangman's Tree.
"Come on Peter! Let's win this!" shouted Marry excitedly seeing the old tree.
Peter Pan chuckled in reply.
Tink laughed at the challenge.
They had all three made it to the hideout at the same time but at the entrance near the top of the tree, Marry's foot got caught on the entrance. Which made Peter Pan get yanked from behind, letting go of Marry by accident. That caused her to do an unintentional weird flip, catching Tinkerbell with her hand. Then she crashed into a surprised Peter making them all smash into the ground in a big pile. They were stunned for a couple of seconds but they got up laughing.
"That was great," Peter Pan laughed.
"Wasn't it," Marry agreed, "Hey. What happened to your hat?"
Tinkerbell pointed to above Marry's head and rang something.
Marry patted her head and took off the hat, "Oh, coolness! I wonder how that happened. Thanks, Tink," she stated happily placing the hat back on Peter's head.
Tinkerbell replied and tried to fly but couldn't. One of her wings got hurt.
"Are you all right, Tink," Peter asked concerned about his friend.
"Don't worry. I can fix that," Marry voiced confidently while holding out her hand for Tink to sit on.
Hesitantly Tink complied.
Gently Marry put the delicate crinkled wing between her thumb and the side of her pointer finger. Then applying small pressure while she pulled it back slowly and smoothed it out.
"There. All better?"
Tinkerbell got up and fluttered around as her answer.
"Good."
"Wendy?" a hesitant voice asked.
The threesome turned to see the Lost Boys and Zack in the middle of a freeze fight. Some were in mid throwing a punch. Zack was looking like he was trying to pin them down or push them away. The rest were either going to bite someone or looked like they were trying to get out of Zack's hold.
Marry smiled and waved, "Hi, Lost Boys."
"...WENDY!" the Lost Boys all shouted at the same time pushing aside Zack and ran towards Marry.
Instantly Marry was surrounded by babbling boys and being hugged and climbed on.
"Wendy come here. I'll doctor you up," Slightly expressed excitedly while pulling her to the bed and sitting her down.
"It's so good to see you again Wendy," Nibs voiced happily while jumping circles around her as Slightly put bandages on her cuts.
"You look different. Did you grow out your hair," questioned Cubby.
"Did you come back-" started one twin.
"-to be are mother again," finished the other twin, both of them hanging from her legs.
Tootles jumped on Marry's lap and handed her a drawing of a heart surrounding her, the lost boys, Tink and Peter.
She was about to happily answer all of their eager questions but her brother did it for her. Getting agitated with how long this was taking .
"QUIET!" Zack shouted, everybody turned to him in surprised silence, "She is not Wendy, Wendy is dead. That is my sister, Marry."
The Lost Boys turned to Marry, "Wendy is dead?" Cubby questioned for the Lost Boys tearfully.
Marry gave her brother a quick glare, that he returned, before turning her attention back to the boys, "I'm sorry I'm not Wendy boys. Yes, she's dead," Marry answered woefully.
There was a moment of silence. Every single Lost Boy frozen with the news and teary eyed. Then one by one they all started bawling their eyes out.
"Wh-why did she have to go," cried Cubby.
Tootles was silently crying into Marry's night shirt.
"We didn't even-"
"-get to say good bye," sobbed the twins.
Infuriated by what Zack did Peter went up to him and slapped him up side the head.
"Look what you did to my Lost Boys," expressed Peter angrily.
Feeling sick and tired of everything and everyone Zack retaliated with punching Peter Pan.
That kicked off a whole wrestling and fist fight with the two boys. With Tinkerbell trying to fight Zack as well since she didn't like that he punched her friend.
Looking upon all this, Marry was feeling very over whelmed. She knew she had to stop all of this. So she decided to calm down the Lost Boys so that they could help her stop the boys fight. Secretly she also thought it would be good for her brother to let out all of his frustration in the fight as well.
"Shuuush. It's alright boys," Marry comforted them gently and bringing them in closer, "I'm sorry you didn't get to say good bye. But you still can."
The boys were still crying but they were quieting down a bit.
"We. We can?" questioned Nibs hopefully.
"Of course," Marry stated with a truthful smile, "You guys can write her a letter to heaven. Then we can sprinkle it with pixie dust and fly it there."
"That's a great idea," Cubby exclaimed excitedly.
Slightly whacked him on the head, "You idiot, we don't even know how to write."
"That's alright, Slightly," Marry consoled, "I can write it for you guys."
Tootles handed her his pad and pencil.
"But first, lest stop my brother and Peter from killing each other. Okay? Then we can write the letter."
The Lost Boys turned to the two battling boys. Seemingly like they haven't noticed them fighting until then.
"We'll get Peter," Nibs asserted
"You get Zack," Slightly stated.
Marry sat down Tootles, the pad and pencil, "On it."
It took awhile but the Lost Boys and Marry were able to separate the two with no help from Tink. She was still trying to attack Zack for hurting Peter. Calming everyone down. The Lost Boys explained the letter idea to Peter, effectively bringing him back to his high spirits. Zack on the other hand was having a harder time with calming down.
He was the type of kid that didn't really like being told what to do by his sister. Marry was finally able to calm him down through reason, even though she is not the type that's very good at that. Though reason with him, she did. When everyone was calm Peter explained to the Lost Boys that the Beauregard children needed to learn to fly back home. They were going to teach them.
"Wait. These are some of your best fliers," Zack voiced skeptically.
Peter Pan glared at Zack and was about to say some thing but Marry cut in before he could.
"Of corse they are Zack. Don't you remember the stories?" Marry replied quickly.
He rolled his eyes, "Well come on then. Let's get this flying lesson over with."
The Lost Boys, Peter, and Tink led the Beauregard's to a clearing in the forest with a giant cylinder shaped rock in the middled of it.
"Is this where we're practicing," questioned Zack impatiently.
"Yep." Peter answered simply.
"Well come on. Teach us how to fly," Zack insisted while walking towards the rock.
"Wait a minute Zack," Marry said stopping her brother, "I've got to write the letter for them first."
Zack groaned and looked like he wanted to pull out his hair then sighed, "Fine," he huffed.
Marry picked a clean sheet of paper and asked everyone to tell her what they want to say to Wendy one at a time. Everybody participated in saying what they wanted Marry to write. All except for Zack, who waited impatiently for them all to get it over with.
"Alright, are you sure you don't want to say anything to Grandma, Zack?" Marry asked Zack sadly one last time.
"Yeah, yeah I'm sure. Just get it over with already. I want to go home."
Marry sighed as she folded up the letter, "Okay then, Tink. Will you do the honors?"
Tinkerbell nodded her head and poured some of her dust on the paper.
Up and up it went. Everyone watched it go until nobody to could see it.
"Okay now can we do this," Zack asked restlessly.
Marry sighed getting annoyed with her brother, "Yes."
