*Here's another!*
She cocked her head and wrinkled her brow. "Where?" she asked in a disbelieving tone.
The boy smiled wider and came up closer to her. "Neverland."
She shook her head. "There is no place called Neverland."
He only smiled back. "Just like there's no Starlight?" he questioned back.
Jessie's eyes widened at the mention of the legend. No one but her mother had ever known about that. Not even her father knew about it.
Ellen came around from behind Jessie and ran to her bed. She jumped up on it and sat cross-legged on it. Meanwhile, Peter just watched Jessie.
Growing bored, Ellen yawned. "Can I come too Peter?" she asked. Her blue eyes looked hopefully at him.
Never removing his gaze from Jessie, he replied. "Of course. Only if Jessie comes, though."
Ellen jumped from her bed and ran to her sister. "Jessie! Do you hear that? I get to go too! Please Jessie, say yes!"
Jessie broke her gaze with Peter to look at Ellen. The little girl was all smiles. "Why do you need me?" she asked, returning her gaze back to Peter.
He smiled and walked to the window seat. "Neverland is home to the Lost Boys. You know," he began at Jessie's confused face, "the boys who fall out of their cribs while the nurse is turned away. If they're not claimed in seven days, they go to Neverland. Since Wendy left, they need a new mother." He turned back to the window. "And they want you."
Jessie moved from the doorway to her bed. "Who's Wendy?" she asked him.
He sighed. "Wendy Darling was the first girl I ever took to Neverland. Her parents wanted her to grow up, and she told marvelous stories, so I took her there to be the Boy's mother. After she was captured by Hook and all that followed happened, she decided to go home."
Jessie watched him. He seemed a bit sad. "Why are there no girls in Neverland?" she wondered.
He continued to look out the window. "Girls are too smart to roll out," was all he said.
Jessie feared she may have upset him when she asked about Wendy, and it made her feel bad. She stood up and walked over to him, taking a place next to him on his right. "Is Neverland safe?"
Peter looked over at her. "No place is guarenteed safe." She nodded, still looking out the window.
"As long as nothing bad happens to Ellen, I'll go," she answered, turning to look at him. He smiled.
"Tink! Come out from hiding Tink. I need you," he called.
The yellow light came out from under Ellen's bed and made its way to him. It landed on his shoulder, and Jessie could finally see it wasn't just a light. It was a girl.
A woman, to be exact. Her blonde hair was up on her head, her green outfit perfect for her eyes. Her translucent wings now stayed still from her back.
"She's beautiful," Jessie whispered, and the faerie looked at her.
Peter smiled as he looked from Tinkerbell to Jessie. "Hear that Tink? She thinks you're beautiful."
Tinkerbell smiled and curtsied, which Jessie returned. Peter laughed. "Alright Tink, you know what to do."
And so she did. She left Peter's shoulder and flew above Jessie. She sprinkled her faerie dust on her head, and flew over to Ellen. There she repeated her actions.
"Now, think happy thoughts, and you will be lifted up!" Peter instructed. Jessie and Ellen nodded, both trying to think of something.
Jessie was a bit skeptical, but she felt as if she could trust this boy. So she began to search her mind for anything happy.
Ellen immediately thought of Stardust, the twilight faerie. And sure enough, as soon as her smile was in tact on her face, she opened her eyes and found herself near the ceiling.
"Jessie!" she cried out excitedly. "Look!"
Jessie opened her eyes and turned to her sister. She saw her floating body by the ceiling. "What happened?!" she asked.
Peter laughed. "With a bit of faerie dust and happy thoughts, you can fly," he said, he himself rising as he spoke. Jessie's eyes widened.
"Come on Jess! It's great!" Ellen exclaimed.
Jessie nodded and reclosed her eyes. She thought hard, and finally settled on the thought of her mother's smile. Even though she was gone, her mother was one of the most important things in her life. Whenever she saw her mother's smile, she smiled as well.
She opened her eyes and came face to face with Peter. She looked down and saw the floor below her, and as she looked up, the ceiling was less than a foot away. She smiled.
"This is wonderful," she whispered, her eyes exploring the room from the new height. It felt magnificent to be up away from everyone else, out of reach.
"This is wonderful," she said louder, and Peter took her hand. He led her to the window, and Jessie motioned for Ellen to come as well. Ellen grabbed hold of Jessie's hand, and out they went, leaving their home behind.

~Neverland~

Jessie and Ellen both surveyed their surroundings. The stars shone brightly in the night sky, windows of houses glowed from the lights in random rooms, the trees looked like green bushes, and the few carriages that were out this late made soft clopping noises below.
Ellen let go of Jessie's hand and pushed upwards, soaring above her sister's head and towards the stars. She screamed with laughter, her hair twirling about her face as she started to do flips.
Jessie laughed as she watched her sister. She was having so much fun. Then Jessie remembered she still had a hold on Peter's hand. She looked at him, only to find him looking back. He smiled and began to drag Jessie up with him as he flew to Ellen.

There it is folks! The longest chapter to date of this story! Hope you like it!

***btw, I forgot to mention this earlier. I own the legend of Stardust, and the song Jessie sang in the first chapter. I made them both up, please do not steal them. I'd be highly angry if someone did. Thanks!
