Chapter Two - Peter's Band of Boys
For many days Peter and Tink remained happy with each other's company, playing with the mermaids and Tiger Lily, but still Peter remained Lonely. He ignored the feeling and soon asked Tink to teach him to fly.
"Happy thoughts, happy thoughts!" Peter yelled slightly hovering several centimetres, "almost, almost!" Tink sprinkled more pixie dust and all at once Peter flew into the air.
"Tink! Look at me look at me!" Peter continued to fly higher, until he was in the clouds. He decided this would be the best place to look out on Never Never Land, the name Peter had given his home. When Peter squinted his eyes until he could past Never Never Land and beyond. From the clouds he could see place so familiar, yet so different.
"Tink, look at this! Do you see that?" Tink nodded her head and began tugging frantically at Peter's shirt. Until Peter was no longer nestled in the clouds but in midair.
"Ok, Tinkerbell I'll come!" The pair began to soar towards the unknown object. The pair came to the strange place and hovered above in the darkness that covered the place. They landed upon a roof and perched there until they saw no movement. At last they came down and walked the dark streets hugging the shadows, Peter stopped now and then to peer into the windows of what Peter remembered as shops. They wandered until they came to houses and they peered into those windows as wells. All was quiet until they came to one particular house.
"Timmy, be a big boy and eat your vegetables!" begged a woman at a table.
"Grow up baby! Your such a little boy!" crooned an older boy shovelling food in his mouth.
"I'll count to three young man! Be a big boy and eat your vegetables or go to your room!" a graying old man yelled, "1-2 don't let me get to three!" the little boys face began a dark shade of red but he didn't budge. "3! Timothy Rodney go to your room this instant, no, if and or buts!" The man sprang up and grabbed the little boy who began to scream and pushed him towards the stairs. "Don't come down, until you become a man and eat your vegetables." At last the boy broke and stopped screaming and looked the man in the eye.
"I will never, ever grow up! I will never, ever eat my vegetables!" and with that he stormed up the stairs and Peter heard the door slam.
"Come on Tink!" the two hovered up the building until they were outside the boy's room. They rapped on the window and the startled boy turned around and gasped. Peter pointed to the window and the boy undid the latch. "So you don't want to grow up?" the boy nodded his head, "well I don't either. Come with me and you'll never have to!" The boy gasped when he saw Tinkerbell creep in and nodded. Peter turned to the boy, "think the happiest thoughts you can think of!" instructed Peter, "come here Tink!" Tinkerbell sprinkled pixie dust upon the chubby little boy and he slowly floated upwards. Startled he gasped.
"I'm flying!" he cried.
"That you are! Come on now my friend and let us fly to Never N]ever Land!" and with that they swooped out the window. Peter made several more trips back to the city and Peter's tree house grew larger and Peter happier.
