Chapter Four
Over across Neverland, in a huge tree on the outskirts of the forest, Peter Pan swings back and forth in his hammock. He had desperately tried to go back to sleep, but it just wouldn't welcome him. Staring up at the ceiling, all he could hear where the snores of the sleeping lost boys, and the soft twinkling of a snore coming from Tinks small apartment. Closing his eyes, he once again tried to do it himself, but all he could think about was that girl by the Mermaid Lagoon. Why did she seem so familiar? He had no idea why. After about an hour of his mind going back and forth trying to remember where he had seen her before, he slowly drifted off to sleep. But that didn't mean his mind stopped searching.
In the very back of the Pans mind, a door was opened. The door that contained past memories, and people. Going through the file, the secretary of his mind finally found the right one. The file which contained the pirate girl, and the events that went along with her. Happy with her discovery, the secretary placed the file in Peters subconscious and into his dreams.
It was about seven years ago. He dreamed. He was flying over the island, just checking it out, when he can upon Cannibal Cove, the resting place of Hooks ship. Deciding to leave Hook be today, he flew past, only the hear a small scream coming from the ship. Stopping where he floated, he grabbed his dagger and silently flew down to the ship unnoticed. Peeking over the side of the ship he saw Hook and Smee, walking about, and Hook going on about his 'brilliant plan'. He smiled and wondered to himself when this codfish was ever going to give up. Then the name Wendy passed his ears, and he knew that Hook meant business. So off the Pan went, to gather the lost boys and bring them to the ship to save Wendy, who he thought was on the ship.
On the way toward the tree, the thought of his trip to the other world that night. Every week he traveled to the other world to visit a particular girls window. But no, it wasn't Wendy's. No, it was another girl that had caught his eye. But he must think about that later, for now he must save Wendy! As he dove through the tree he called to the lost boys and Tink, and told them what he had discovered. Of course the lost boys grabbed their weapons and prepared to save their mother. But Tinkerbell was less then enthusiastic, but still went along.
When the boys came to the ship and climbed over its sides, the pirates where ready. The lost boys fought the pirates and the pirates fought the lost boys, and Tink helped if someone got in some kind of trouble. And of course Peter was fighting the great Hook himself as always. This went on for several minutes, when a door was swung open and six young girls were tossed on the deck of the ship. This immediately stopped the fighting as the lost boys, and Peter glanced toward the door expecting Wendy. But when a girl of nine with long light brown hair and eyes the color of silver, was thrown onto the deck next, all the boys gasped.
"That's not Wendy!" one of them said. But seeing that all the girls were shackled, the lost boys, of course continued fighting for the girls lives. But, up in the air however, Peter was a completely different story. 'The girl' the thought to himself. Yes, it was the girl who's window he had been visiting for some time. He couldn't even speak. How could Hook know? Maybe he didn't, maybe it was just luck. But still……it was her. How could it be? He still couldn't move, he was thinking what to do. Of course the 'Peter Pany' thing to do would be to save her, of course. 'But if I saved her I'd have to….. that's it' he thought! He smiled at his idea, but knew that it would probably lead to bad repercussions. Even in his sleep, Peter smiled at his great idea, even though for the life of him he couldn't remember what the great idea was! But it had something to do with 'that girl'. He didn't save her because he would have to do…..ah…..what was it! He then made a grimace in his sleep. Then he called down the boys, 'RETREAT!'. The boys stood there baffled, but did as their leader told them and jumped off the side of the ship. Looking around, Hook had dropped his sword in his state of sheer confusion.
Turing to fly back to his hideout, he couldn't help but noticed the look of sadness and betrayal on the girls face. Right then he almost turned back, to just say no to his so called good idea, but then thought it over again. And he once again turned and nodded to himself, insuring himself that he was doing the right thing, and flew off.
Peter shot up in his hammock and looked around. Now he knew why she looked so familiar….the girl. He had forgotten all about her, seeing that he hadn't seen her since that day. 'How could he forget her?' he asked himself. Then he felt a horrible rush of guilt fall over him. Because of what he had done……because he had forgotten….the girl he had cherished and hadn't even known, had become…………….. a pirate.
