CHAPTER 6: At the Fairy Prom
Captain Hook watched Peter and Jasmine from a bird's-eyes view from the newly flying Jolly Roger.
"Can this be? Peter...and...what's this...oh...Smee!" Smee walked crookedly over to the edge of the ship where Hook was standing.
"Aye, Cap'n?" asked Smee.
"Pan's back Smee, and he's got another Wendy; a much older Wendy. Smee, ready the ship, we're casting off!"
"Casting off to where, Cap'n?" asked Smee, delighted.
"To the fairy prom, dear Smee. To follow Pan." They both laughed delightedly, then Hook gathered up the crew. They set sail for Madame Goldens' Fairy Academy.
AT THE SCHOOL:
Jasmine had never seen such a sight in her life. The prom was outdoors, and right down near the end of the school, was her iPod, and the speakers. She laughed. Peter led her to the middle of the dance floor. There was stunned silence as they walked in the room. Suddenly, the small fairy Headmistress, Madame Golden, floated out in front of Peter.
Madame Golden was a short, plump, old fairy, with white hair propped up in a bun, and with half-moon shaped glasses sitting upon her peculiar pointed nose. She was wearing a blue velvet dress, and pearl earrings and a pearl necklace.
"Welcome Peter Pan. We have all been waiting for you. If you kindly would, step up to the speakers, and continue." Peter nodded, and left Jasmine to float in waiting. As soon as Peter stepped onto the stage, the place immediately exploded with cheers, whoops, and catcalls. Jasmine clapped furiously. Peter bowed, and began playing his fife. All of the couples began to fairy dance. It was the most beautiful thing. Jasmine was asked again and again be fairy men to dance, but again and again, she refused.
Peter finished, and the field exploded with applause. He bowed and stepped down to Jasmine.
"Oh that was wonderful. I absolutely love the sound of that fife." Peter smiled, and yet again, there went Jasmine's knees. They danced the night away. Meanwhile, Hook hid behind a mighty tree and kept watch on Peter the whole time. 'As soon as he leaves, we capture the girl' Hook thought to himself. He returned to his telescope to watch Peter like a hawk.
"Now," said Madame Golden, "I would like to announce the smarty-of-the-year award nominees: Trisha May," A short, thin fairy with straight brown hair stood up. "Joshua Johns," A Tall fairy man with blonde spikey hair and glasses stood, and raise his hand slightly. "Tink Noel," Tink stood up, and Peter and Jasmine clapped. "And finally, Jessica Abda." A Tall, thin, busty fairy with long, straight blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes stood and gave a curtsy. Many of the men and some of the girls cheered. Tink glared at Jessica, and scowled.
"Tink positively hates Jessica. She is her worst enemy." Peter whispered.
"I know how she feels." Jasmine stated, remembering her own enemy at home. Pretty, popular, perfect Amanda Waynes. She acted like London's number one woman, though she wasn't.
"And the award goes to..." Peter, Tink, and Jasmine crossed their fingers. "Oh my, very close...by a hair, Tink Noel wins!" Peter and Jasmine cheered with all their might. The whole audience applauded as Tink made her way up to the stage. She took the award, shaped like a graduation hat, and started to talk in actual English.
"Thank you all. I would like to congratulate all of the nominees. You were all very close to winning. We are all very smart, and I know you will do well in life. I would like to thank all of my friends who supported me through the year, and the teachers for making things easy for me to learn. This award means a lot to me, and I thank you all for voting for me."
"Show-off." Whispered one of Jessica's friends.
"I know. She is so lying. Everyone knows she's such a loser, and she only won because she's a kiss-up." Peter heard this, and flew angrily over to her.
"Don't...you...dare talk about Tink that way. You're just jealous she won, so don't blame things on her, got it?" Peter said through pressed lips. Jessica nodded with wide eyes, and slumped down in her chair. Tink got down from the stage, and blew a raspberry to Jessica as she took her seat. Jasmine giggled, then, they continued to dance.
Finally, about 3 hours later, the prom was over. Jasmine gathered up her things, and Peter escorted her outside. Madame Golden called for Peter.
"One minute Jazz." He said, then followed her inside. Jasmine waited in the warm night air. She thought about the night, and fun it had been, how amazing Tink's speech was, and how Peter told off Jessica. Suddenly, she heard a twig crack. She spun around, to see no one. She turned around slowly, and was looking in the red eyes of Captain Hook. He gagged her before she could scream. The pirates took her away to the Jolly Roger.
"Well, I'm back Jazz." Peter looked around. "Jasmine?" He then thought she was playing a joke, like he had earlier. "Here I come Jasmine! Yahoo!" Peter zoomed around the trees. But there was still no sign of Jasmine. Peter started to get worried. "Jasmine? Jasmine where are you?" Peter flew around, but still no sign of Jasmine.
"Jasmine!" Peter cried. Hook heard the horrific cry, and laughed.
"You, my dear Jasmine, are my ticket to getting my revenge on Pan."
"W-what are you going to do to me?" Jasmine sputtered.
"How about what brought him to his knees so many years ago." The pirates cheered. Jasmine did not know what he was going to do to her, but it would probably be far worse than she could have ever imagined.
