A/N: I am really glad that all of my reviewers like my story so much. I
hope all of you stuck around during my brief moment of writer's block that
lasted for about three months. I'll try not to do that again, but I don't
want to promise anything, but since summer vacation is coming up soon, I
expect to be a tad better in updating. Anyway, have fun reading, and I
hope you all enjoy!
Chapter 4-2: The Power of Love
Two fairies watched the retreating backs of Peter and Wendy from behind a bush.
"Alright Tink," Twinkletoes said, starting to strategize, "here's the plan: slip the sleeping potion in Peter's drink so you and Wendy can get to the tree without being questioned. I'll tell her all she needs to know once she arrives."
"Sounds good to me Twink," Tink responded as a little bottle of the sleeping potion was handed to her, "I'll see you soon then!"
Tink sped off to the underground home, keeping well out of sight from Peter and Wendy. When Tink had finally arrived at the tree that marked the entrance of the underground home, she stopped and glanced back to be sure Peter and Wendy were not in sight before proceeding to enter.
Once inside, Tink hid the bottle in her private quarter. She placed it in such a way that if you were to peer into her home, you wouldn't be able to see it. After assuring herself that she had the plan all worked out, the fairy decided to lie down and wait for the two to come home. She did have, after all, an eventful day and she needed a rest.
A while after Tink had fallen asleep, Peter and Wendy had arrived at the underground home. They entered with a variety of foods that they were able to find in the forests: mangos, bananas, carrots, celery, string beans, cucumbers and tomatoes. You see, since Neverland is such a magical place, many crops could grow there that normally wouldn't cooperate with a tropical climate.
The pair had just set the fruits and vegetables on the table when Wendy thought of something. "Peter, where's Tink?" she asked.
"Well," he started thoughtfully, "she is most likely in her home on the other side of the room."
Peter walked purposefully past Wendy to get to Tink's house. Wendy turned around and followed Peter. Peter peered in through the doorway and found Tink slumbering on her bed; this didn't faze Peter as much as it would if Wendy were the one sleeping, so he called Tink to attention.
"Tink," he cried loudly, "Wake up!"
Now as you already know that fairies have short tempers, you would be able to guess that Tink wasn't very thrilled about being woken up so rudely. Tink flew out through her doorway in a huff. She circled around Peter and Wendy; an assortment of pokes and hair pulling all aimed at Peter. Every once in a while a little shout of "you silly ass" could be heard.
Peter swatted at the fuming fairy. "Calm down Tink," he snapped, "I just wanted to tell you that Wendy is here."
Tink stopped when she heard him say this and answered back rather facetiously, "No, really? I hadn't noticed."
Wendy giggled at the fairy's musings, "Well hello again Tink, nice to see you again. How have you been?"
"Well, I was perfectly fine until this silly ass woke me up so ungraciously." Tink then glared at Peter for good measure.
"That's horrible! Peter," Wendy commanded, "apologize to Tink right away."
Peter turned to look at Wendy, his brow lifted as if to say, "Are you kidding?" But, Wendy wasn't kidding him; her face was stern and expectant.
Peter turned his head to look at Tink tapping her toe in mid-air as if waiting for something... perhaps an apology? Peter took in a deep breath and started to speak, "I am ever so sorry for waking you up so impolitely, I promise it will never happen again."
When Peter had finished, Tink stuck her tongue out at him signaling that he was forgiven unwillingly.
"Now," Peter started again, "if you two will excuse me, I am going to get some dinner." Peter grabbed some arrows and a bow and headed for the exit. "I'll be back soon!"
Wendy erupted into a fit of giggles, and Tink would have as well had there not been any important issues on hand.
Tink cleared her throat noisily, signaling to Wendy that she had something interesting to say. Wendy ceased her giggling fit to listen to what the fairy had to say. Now that Tink had gained Wendy's attention, she began to tell her the plan that she and Twink had agreed to earlier.
"I am sure that you have spoken to Twinkletoes earlier today, right?" Wendy nodded in agreement, "Ok, then you should know that you are supposed to meet her at the fairy tree tonight without Peter's accompaniment."
"Well, she didn't mention I was to go alone. I figured I should, but how am I to do that without Peter noticing I am missing?"
"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of that. Hold on..." Tink disappeared back into her private home to retrieve the potion. She grabbed the little bottle with both hands and quickly flew back out to show Wendy. "This," she explained, "is a sleeping potion. When I slip this into Peter's drink, he will fall into deep slumber in just a matter of moments. So, when he goes to sleep, you and I will go and meet Twink at the fairy tree. Any questions?"
"None at all." was Wendy's reply.
"Good. So how is life treating you?"
Soon after Tink and Wendy started their conversation Peter came back home with his bow in one hand and a medium-sized rabbit in the other. Peter cleaned the animal before Wendy prepared the meat in order to cook it.
In a short while, Wendy was done cooking dinner and the little table in the underground home was set for two.
Dinner was almost over making Wendy begin to worry when Tink still hadn't slipped the sleeping potion into Peter's water.
"...so, I think that we should go to the parrots grove tomorrow, they really are amazing..." Peter was discussing tomorrow's plans with Wendy when all of a sudden a loud thud resounded from outside. Wendy startled at the abrupt noise as Peter jumped out of his seat, his ears alert and dagger drawn. "Wendy, Tink, you stay here," Peter dictated, "I am going to see who or what is outside."
When Peter had exited the home, Tink took advantage of his absence to grab the potion bottle and slip the contents inside Peter's drink. Wendy smiled, "Good show, Tink!"
"Yes," Tink replied, "I was lucky that Peter was distracted by whatever that was."
"You mean that wasn't part of the plan?" Wendy questioned.
"No, whatever it is, Peter can handle it though. Don't worry about him..."
Tink however was cut off when a very amused Peter walked back into the house only uttering one word for explanation, "...orangutans!"
"Told you so," Tink sing-songed.
Wendy couldn't help but burst into a fit of giggles.
"You know what Tink, I never noticed how loud Peter snores!" Wendy exclaimed noting the effects of the sleeping potion.
"It's a new thing with him, ever since he has grown up."
"Oh, I see. So, shall we off to the fairy tree then, Tink?"
"Certainly, Miss Wendy."
Twink had been waiting for what seemed to be a very long time when she noticed, to her right, a spot of light and a silhouette of a human figure approaching. 'About time,' the impatient fairy thought.
"Sorry we are late Twink, but we had to wait for the opportune moment." Tink said hoping that her apology would be acceptable.
"That's alright Tink," Twink said, "better late than never. Now to the more important matter at hand... Wendy?"
"Yes?" Wendy replied apprehensively.
"We need to talk about the power of love..."
A/N: So what did you think? Let me know. You can also yell at me for waiting three months to update as well if you so desire... just not violently or too much.
