Peter landed softly on a large rock near the coast. He released the girls from his grip, and then began hovering around them asking a million questions.
"Where did you come from? Who are you? Are you our new mothers? How did you get here? What are your names?"
"London, England; we're 15 year old girls; no we are not; we flew here; I'm Elissa and she's Nicole." Elissa said very quickly, running out of breath at the end.
"Oh… ok then." Peter answered, somewhat shocked at the straightforwardness of Elissa's answer. The girls smiled.
"Well, since we're new here, and out of pixie dust," Nicole started, grimacing at the fact they had run out of pixie dust at the worst moment. "We kinda need a place to stay…. Do you know of a place?"
"Please, please know a place." Elissa pleaded. Peter in turn smiled.
"Of course I know a place. Follow me. Wait," He grabbed their hands again. "No dust, right?" The girls nodded, and he flew them to the front of a hollow tree.
"Welcome to my humble home. Oh lost boys!" Five boys appeared as if from nowhere, and got into a straight line in front of Peter, Elissa and Nicole. "Sound off!" Each boy called out his name in turn.
"Slightly," called the fox.
"Nibs," called the rabbit.
"The Twins," called the twins.
"Cubbie," called the bear. They then all turned and pointed to the smallest boy.
"And that's Toodles." They called in unison. Then they turned and faced Peter, standing at attention.
"Boys, this is Elissa and Nicole," he motioned towards the girls, and they both smiled and waved.
"Hey,"
"Hiya,"
Peter nodded, smiling. "Let me show you around the tree." He then led them through a passage and then down the steps and into the main room. There was one large bed, with several 'nests', which the girls presumed, the lost boys each slept in. Peter looked about and then turned back to the girls. "You guys can sleep there." He pointed to the large bed, and the girls both nodded to his suggestion. "Now why don't I show you around the island. But first we need a little magic! Hey Tinkerbell!" Tinkerbell pushed the leaf hiding her home aside, and flew out, landing on Peter's shoulder. "Could you supply us with some dust." Tink looked at the girls warily, thoughts of their hands flying and the blondes sneezes plaguing her mind. "Come on Tink." But Peter's plead convinced her, she would not have him unhappy. She started from the floor, flying up and around Nicole and then Elissa. Then flew back to her home in the wall. "Ready?" Peter asked.
"Ready."
"Ready!" They shot out from the top of hangman's tree and Peter began the tour of Neverland that the girls were so anxiously waiting for. They passed close to the trees and came to the bay that held Hook's ship. Flying over it they saw rainbow coloured fish leaping in the water. Then into the Indian village where they met the ever charming Tiger Lily. They flew off once again to mermaid lagoon where the mermaids all crowded around Peter for one of his 'famous' stories. The girls getting frustrated with them (whom they never liked much anyway) devised a little plan…
"Ok so we take…." Elissa said quietly.
"And then we…."
"Right! We're going to get those mermaids good!" The girls picked up one end of a really big leaf and flew out over the lagoon, catching water into it as they skimmed along the surface. They swept back towards Peter and the mermaids, who were flaunting their looks all the more. Taking careful aim they dumped the water straight onto the mermaids' heads. The girls laughed loudly as they looked down on the soaked mermaids and the dripping Pan. Peter floated up to where the girls were standing (in air standing).
"What did you do that for?" He asked innocently.
"Oh, just wanted to soak those silly mermaids, what can't take a little water?' Elissa said as she pushed Pan playfully into the close falling waterfall. Peter came out looking quite waterlogged. He did a few loops to get rid of some of the water drenching the girls in the process. The girls followed Peter to the top of the waterfall where they saw a magnificent rainbow stretching out over the sky. Nicole and Peter flew right into it, turning all the different colours of the rainbow. Elissa followed behind and turned the beautiful colours also. As they moved on the colour fell off Nicole's and Peter's skin, but Elissa remained colourful.
"Ahhh! The colours! They burn! Burn!" Elissa yelled in panic. Nicole thinking her friend to be quite ridiculous flew on. Elissa got over the initial shock and still coloured, followed Nicole and Peter up the mountain.
When they got back to Hangman's tree, Elissa was no longer colourful and the sky was no longer sunny. The girls found the lost boys all asleep, so they decided to just go to bed, rather than risk waking them. They bid Peter goodnight, before crawling under the soft blanket atop the bed and snuggling in for the night. Unfortunately the rest they so desperately needed wouldn't come to them so easily. Both the girls turned as they were lured into a vivid dream.

Elissa opened her eyes in the darkness. She was no longer in the comfortable bed that she had been just minutes before. She was now standing upright, in an empty room. There was nothing to be seen except of a single wooden door with a brass handle. She walked silently over to the door, and turned the knob, at the same time the knob was being turned on the other side. Neither person was able to open the door, but after a few more turns Elissa got the upper hand and whipped the door toward her. A blinding light filled her eyes, and a shadowy figure stood in the doorway.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" she screamed, as did the figure. The light ceased to shine and she was able to make out Nicole in the doorway, a look of horror such as hers on her face. Both girls breathed out in relief.
"That was scary." Nicole commented her pulse still racing. Elissa nodded, holding her chest, as she looked around.
"Where are we?" Elissa asked, finally catching her breath.
"I don't know," she looked around Elissa's room. "There's nothing in here. But there's another door in my room." The girls went back through the door and into the other room. The opened the other door, succeeding on their first try. The new passage revealed a tunnel. The walls were made out of stone, and they could hear a faint rustling from below the floor. They walked down the long hall until they came to another door, which they also went through. On the other side was a bright room that had a warm and happy atmosphere. They stepped in and shut the door.
"Look!" Nicole shouted pointing to the door they had just walked through. Elissa turned around, only to find the door had vanished. She felt around the wall where the door had been, but found nothing. She shrugged, so the girls continued looking around the room. The room somewhat resembled the inside of Peter and the lost boys' hollow tree. There was a large bed near the center of the room. To the side of it was a large wooden shelf where a fairy house, similar to Tink's, could be seen. There were many plants there too, all exotic and lush. It was a real eye-opener.
"Is it just me or does this place seem familiar?" Nicole asked breaking the silence.
"I remember this place from somewhere. But everything seems much bigger than in my memory." Elissa replied.
"That's weird. You don't suppose we've been here before, do you?"
"Maybe. But I can't imagine how we'd ever end up in a place like this." Just as Elissa finished her sentence a blinding white light filled the room, causing both girls to close their eyes. When the opened them again they were back in the bed in the hollow tree. Nicole pushed her hair behind her ears and sat up. Elissa looked over to her.
"I just had the strangest dream." Nicole commented, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"Me too, we were in these connecting rooms, and then a room like this that we remembered." Elissa responded sitting up as well.
"Then maybe it wasn't just a dream. We both had the same dream, we were in the same place and we both remembered being there. So, maybe it was a memory." Elissa shrugged.
"Lets not think about it. It's morning, lets go outside. We can talk about it later." Nicole nodded and the girls got up and headed outside the tree.
