Chapter Two
At first, Tink had hated Wendy. But, after a year, she realized she wasn't a jerk after all. So that's why she helped Wendy.
"We'll go back to Neverland in the morning," Tink told Wendy as they settled themselves onto various clouds for the night. Wendy just hoped that she would get to Peter before Shaylee and Ciara did.
Back in Mount Vernon, the goddesses of Neverland began to gather their weapons. Ciara, who could turn into a merperson, would get all the other merpeople to gang up on the Lost Boys. She looked like any other merperson, except for the ring on her left hand, middle finer. This was unobvious, so no one would be able to tell exactly who was leading the mer-army.
Shaylee, on the other hand, who could turn into a fairy, sought out the few remaining pirates, and a few fairies. All, including the merpeople, agreed to go to war against the Lost Boys. The only way anyone could tell that the fairy was Shaylee was if you looked at her left ankle. An anklet made of diamonds, like Ciara's ring, was strung around her ankle.
Ciara and Shaylee were preparing to leave for Neverland, and suddenly Shaylee asked, "Ciara, what happens if we win this war? Then what?"
"I…I don't know," Ciara said. "I suppose we will get rid of Wendy so Peter will love us again." Shaylee paused before answering.
"We mustn't kill Peter or the Lost Boys, you know."
"I know," Ciara replied. "And we shouldn't kill Wendy, either. It might make Peter upset. We should just take her home."
"Yeah. I heard from a fairy that she's coming back to Neverland," Shaylee said.
Meanwhile, in the tree house, the boys were preparing their bows and arrows.
"I can't believe the goddesses are going up against us," Tootles spoke up.
"I like them," sighed Nibs.
"How dare they do this to us, and Wendy!" cried Peter. "Lads…show them no mercy. When you find them, kill them!"
"But Peter!" exclaimed Tootles. "You love them!"
"Not anymore," Peter replied firmly.
Shaylee and Ciara were preparing for battle one step at a time. They were practicing sword fighting when they got into a fight.
"Shaylee, you'd look better if your sword wasn't so ugly," Ciara said.
"You'd look better if you had buck teeth," said Shaylee.
"You'd look better with a paper bag on your head!" Ciara said.
"You'd look better if you didn't go to school!" Shaylee snapped.
"You'd…what?" Ciara laughed.
"I don't know!" Shaylee laughed too. Their phone suddenly rang.
"I've got it!" said Ciara. "Hello? Oh, hi Dan. What? Hold on."
"Who is it?" asked Shaylee.
"Dan the Merman. He wants to go out to dinner tonight. He said you and Joe are going too," Ciara said, rolling her eyes.
"Me and Buck Teeth? Uh, no!" Shaylee said in disgust.
"Then I'll tell Dan…no!" said Ciara.
"Duh!" said Shaylee.
In the meantime, Peter was coaching Tootles on hot to tell if the fairy was Shaylee or not.
"Besides her diamond anklet, she has a pink glow about her. And her outfit is pink and green, while most are just green or just pink; just one color," Peter told Tootles.
"And what am I to do if I find her?" asked Tootles.
"Kill her Tootles my boy! Show her no mercy!" Peter said.
"But…she's your love!" Tootles cried.
"I already told you, not anymore!" said Peter.
"But I cannot kill her. She loves you Peter," Tootles said.
"I do not love her Tootles," Peter said. Tootles started to cry.
"I cannot Peter. I cannot kill a goddess. I would feel forced to kill myself if I did," Tootles sobbed.
"Then do not kill her. Take her to me; I will kill her," Peter said; only feeling slightly guilty about this.
Tootles told Nibs what Peter had told him, Nibs told Curly, Curly told Twins (both of them), and Twins told Slightly, who started to weep.
"That means we must let Peter kill Ciara too. Oh, two dead goddesses in one day. How terrible it will be! We must stop Peter before he kills the both of them!" kind Slightly sobbed.
"Yes we must, but we can't disobey Peter," Nibs said.
"Aye, that we can't. But we can't let them die!" Slightly said, still crying.
"Aye, that we can't. But we can't disobey Peter!" Nibs said.
"Aye, that we can't. But we can't let them die!" Slightly said.
"Aye, that we can't. But we can't disobey Peter!" Nibs said.
"Stop repeating yourself Nibs!" Slightly said. "I heard you the first time!"
"Sorry. We can't let them die, but we can't-" Nibs started to say.
"I know, but we can't disobey Peter. What can we do?" Slightly said, drying his tears.
"We could take a different fairy to him and say it's Shaylee," Nibs said.
"What about the anklet? And the pink glow? And the pink and green outfit?" Slightly asked.
"Sure, just squash my dreams!" Nibs joked, but Slightly saw hurt behind his eyes.
"Sorry Nibs. We'll find some way, I just know it!" Slightly said.
On the clouds, Wendy was having nightmares about Peter.
"No Peter, don't kill me. I love you!" she mumbled in her sleep. It woke Tink up.
"What?" she asked Wendy, but Wendy was snoring soundly.
"Yes Peter. Really I do. I really do love you," said Wendy, and drifted into a happy sleep.
