your input! (except S.L.-your review confused me immensely, but I
appreciated it nonetheless). I'm definitely writing another chapter now
that at least some people have read and reviewed it!*
Fairy Tale Shmairy Tale
Chapter Two
Mimi clutched Matt's hand as he ascended higher and higher. The houses and other buildings below them grew smaller until they were unable to be seen. Mimi looked over at Matt, who was gliding along happily, whistling a tune Mimi didn't know.
"When exactly will we arrive in Never Land, Matt?" Mimi asked. Matt stopped whistling and looked over at her and for the first time looked into her eyes. Cobalt met chocolate, sending a jolt through each other's spines.
"We're almost there, look just ahead. Can you see the mist around the star? Those are clouds, for that is no ordinary star, but an entire world." Matt exclaimed, soaring a bit faster. Mimi smiled and looked ahead at the star, which was indeed shrouded in mist-like clouds. Mimi looked over at Matt again, but came face to face with Sora, who was glaring at her with jealous rust colored eyes. Mimi blushed slightly and turned her face forward again, watching as they began to enter the mist.
"Home sweet home!" Matt called as they left the clouds and entered a bright blue sky. Mimi gasped in amazement as she took in the beautiful surroundings. The sky was the color of a robin's egg, and rainbows criss- crossed the sky. A large island sat in the middle of a seemingly endless ocean, green plants covering the surface. There was a small cove where there sat a mighty looking ship with white sails.
"It's beautiful! I never imagined it would look this way!" Mimi said as Matt settled the two of them down on top of a cloud. Mimi nervously shifted, afraid she would fall through at any given moment. Matt stretched out lazily and smiled, his blue eyes closing with bliss.
"Yep, this is it. The stories really don't do it justice. I heard them all when I was a child, and when I first arrived here, I was shocked that Captain Hook actually had both hands." Matt said nonchalantly as Sora landed on his shoulder, sitting against the boy's neck lightly.
"Captain Hook is real? And he has his hands?" Mimi asked, amazed. The story wasn't seeming to be an exact account. Of course how could it be, it was a fairy tale! Matt nodded and opened his eyes again.
"He sure does. Although there have been times where I could have nipped one off, but I was sporting and let him keep them." Matt boasted. Mimi made a sour face and started to relax on the cloud.
"So when did you actually get here?" Mimi asked, intrigued by the boy sitting next to her and his amazing life.
"When I was thirteen. I ran away from home, and ran into Sora here, who sprinkled me with the dust she put on you. Then she showed me how to get here, and I've been here for four years. The funny thing is, I have been aging all these years, but the Lost Boys. . . they haven't aged a bit. I don't really understand it much myself, but Sora's working on a way to keep me seventeen forever." Matt said, motioning to Sora, who stood and curtsied proudly.
"Lost Boys? There are Lost Boys here?" Mimi cried, incredulous. Some parts of the tale were turning out right, while others were a bit skewed from what she had heard. Matt nodded and stood, bringing Mimi up with him. He prepared to take off with her, but the sound of a cannon burst caught his attention, and he ducked down fast, dragging Mimi down as well. Matt caught his breath but realized he was lying somewhat on top of Mimi, and got up quickly, his face tomato red. Mimi also blushed and stood as Matt looked down at the ship.
"It's Hook. He's seen us. We'd best be going to the forest and hide out with the Lost Boys." Matt said, taking Mimi's hand once again and flying out of the cloud quickly, heading into the island's dense forest. Sora followed behind, her facial features showing more and more jealousy.
Matt soared quickly down into the lush forest, dragging Mimi along as Sora continued to follow them. Mimi ducked as long moss covered branches threatened to catch her face. Matt slowed down suddenly, remembering Mimi wasn't used to her surroundings like Matt was. He stopped on top of a mighty oak tree and stabilized the girl he was toting. He looked behind him to make certain Sora was still with them, smiling when he saw her tiny form on a smaller limb.
"Sorry about the crazy flight. I just didn't want them to see where I was going. No one knows where we live except us, and that keeps us safe from the pirates, and the Indians too." Matt said absently, looking beyond Mimi to the edge of the forest.
"Indians?" Mimi gulped, remembering the tale and the Indian chief. Matt nodded and took off again, this time not taking Mimi's hand. Mimi watched Matt take off and uncertainly stepped off the limb, finding herself in mid air seconds later.
"Come on, Mimi! Sora and I are gonna beat you home!" Matt called as he and Sora flew together. Mimi cried out in protest.
"I don't know where you live, Matt! How can I find it if I don't know where it is?" Mimi argued. Suddenly something hard hit her in the head, and she screamed in a mixture of pain and fright. Matt stopped again and looked back in time to see Mimi plummet toward the ground. His azure eyes widened in horror as she dropped, and he sprinted down to catch her. He dove straight down as Mimi fell, and caught her a few feet before the earth caught her first. Holding the young girl in his arms, he noticed she was unconscious, and a bump was forming on her forehead.
"Matt! Matt I got her!" A young boy around seven exclaimed, running up to Matt with his slingshot in hand. Behind him ran a boy around four and another boy around six. All were dressed in the same brown tattered shirts and blue pants, and all had dirt on their youthful faces. The first to speak had dark brown hair with matching brown eyes, a pair of goggles topping the messy hair style.
"You shoulda seen it, Matt! Tai just shot straight up in the air! Whatever she was chasing ya for, don't worry. We'll take care of it." The youngest boy, a blonde with dazzling blue eyes matching Matt's said.
"You blockheads! I brought her here! I told you what I was going out for when I left last night! Let's get back to the treehouse and get her to bed." Matt scolded the trio, who looked guiltily at Mimi, then Matt. Matt started walking, and the others followed him quietly. Tai put the slingshot securely in his back pocket as he walked behind Matt.
Mimi moaned as she sat up. She noticed she wasn't at home, and her eyes widened when she saw Matt sitting in a chair nearby. He smiled a lopsided grin when he noticed Mimi was awake, and approached her.
"I thought that was all a dream . . . " Mimi said, rubbing her sore head gingerly. Matt handed Mimi a cool cloth, and she put it on her forehead trying to soothe away the pain.
"Sorry about the little attack. Tai thought you were chasing me." Matt explained. His mind startled him as it began to whirl with thoughts.
'Not that I'd mind you chasing me . . . ' Matt thought. He was so taken aback by his conscience's sudden outburst he blushed crimson. Mimi watched curiously as Matt's face turned tomato red and giggled melodically.
"Tai . . . he's a Lost Boy?" Mimi asked. As if on cue, Tai walked in with an apple in hand, a large bite taken from it.
"Yea, I'm sorry I shot ya. I thought you were trying to hurt Matt." Tai apologized, offering the half eaten fruit to Mimi, who politely refused. Tai shrugged and continued munching. Matt punched Tai in the side playfully.
"This is Tai, he's my age. He's been here for a couple years now, and he's my right hand man." Matt said. He motioned around the room to a blonde and a redhead playing cards with a boy around eight and a young girl around fourteen.
"The blonde's TK, my little brother. He's been here for almost ten years." TK looked toward where he heard his name mentioned and smiled at Mimi politely before turning back to the game.
"I'm Izzy, and I've been here for about ten years as well." The redhead stated, not looking up from his cards for a second. The boy beside him ran a hand through his blue hair and sighed, defeated.
"You beat me again. This game is rigged, I promise you!" he stated, tossing his cards into the middle of the stump they played on.
"That one there is Joe. He's been here for ten years too, since he was eight. And the girl we just found about a month ago. She's been here her whole life, she says. Her name's Kari. She's the first Lost Girl." Matt explained. Mimi nodded as she looked at the girl with curious brown eyes. She was small and petite, with a cherub face and light rust colored eyes similar to Sora's. Her light brown hair was long and thick, and hung down to the middle of her back. She turned to Mimi and smiled a sad sweet smile at her before turning back to the game.
"I see. . . So if they've been here for ten years, then why do they still look like they're barely half the age they should be? And where's Sora, Matt?" Mimi asked. Matt motioned to a small flower blossom, and pulled back a petal to show Mimi a small home inside it. Sora was soundly sleeping inside on a bed of grass and leaves. Mimi gasped and peeked inside, amazed by the tiny home Sora had made herself.
"The age thing, I'm not so sure. All I know is that apparently Sora found them when they were those ages and brought them all here at the same time. Kari is the only one who had been aging besides me, it seems. It's very strange, indeed." Matt added, watching the children play cards and chase each other around the room. Mimi's mind was swimming with questions, but she was apprehensive about asking such things.
"I think I'm ready to get out of bed now. My head feels a little better." Mimi said, looking to Matt and Tai, who were sitting on the chair and watching her. Mimi blushed slightly from the attention she received. Kari called to Tai, and he left the two teens to join the card game.
"Would you like to see Never Land?" Matt asked Mimi, growing timid. Mimi noticed this change in Matt's attitude and smiled. She nodded and got out of the bed and followed Matt out of the tree house.
"Who was that girl, Tai?" Kari asked. Tai looked toward the door Matt and Mimi had walked out of, then back at Kari with bright eyes.
"That, my friend, is our new mother."
*The end for now! I'll need some more feedback for this thing so I know if it's terrible or not! This one's going to be a little more romantic than any original Peter Pan stories, so brace yourself! Thanks again for reading, and now if you would simply press the review button and send something, I would be even more appreciative!*
