"Whatever you do, don't let it fall!" Fatigued Aunt Edna told herself as she carried two hot bowls of soup up the stairs. She turned the corner and walked down the hall to her mother's room. Still holding the tray, she nudged her elbow against the doorknob, causing it to open.

She slowly crept inside and gently placed the tray down at Jane's bedside table and whispered, "Wake up mum, its dinner! I know it's a bit late for soup but, I thought you and Julie could use it…" She trailed off looking up at her mother, lying peacefully in the bed, which she thought was fast asleep.

"Mum?" She lightly touched her shoulder. Nothing happened. Worriedly, she felt her mother's neck, finding no pulse. "Oh, oh no!" She fell down to the floor in tears, she couldn't believe it. Jane had died.

After a few minutes, Edna tried to pull herself together; she knew her mother was now happy and taken care of, with no pain. So, she left the soup and headed towards the nursery to calmly tell the raging Julie.

She took the key out of her pocket, and unlocked the door, "I'm sorry for locking you in here Julie, but it was for your own good. Now listen, I need to t-" Edna dropped the key. The room was empty. She searched everywhere that Julie might hide, maybe playing a trick on her, but she was gone. Then, Edna felt a soft breeze blow through her faded brown hair. She turned to find the window wide open.

"No!" She ran over to it, looking up, down, left, and right for any sign of Julie. But, she was no where to be found; Edna was amazed that she could climb down the long way; it was such a high building. She leaned her head back into the room and noticed something in the left corner.

There was her old desk that she had used since she was a little girl. Her mother and grandmother had used it too; but at the moment, it had nothing on top of it, except one small piece of paper. She slowly walked towards it, having a good idea who its from. She picked it up, and unfolded the white sheet. Edna read the letter over and over again, not believing what she saw. She covered her mouth and threw the letter to the ground, running towards the window, "Julie!"

Floating to the ground, the white sheet read, 'Neverland.'

"I think I'm finally getting the hang of this!" Julie screamed as she flew through the air. She was high above London now, coming closer and closer to the star. Then in a flash, the star turned bright white and surrounded Julie. She began feeling unstable, wind forcing her towards the light.

"Maybe not! Ahhhh!" She lost control and shut her eyes as the air flung her fast towards the ball of gas. Then, all at once, the force stopped. Julie cautiously opened her eyes, and saw she was floating high in the sky of a bright and isolated world.

She looked all around her and saw bright pinkish blue skies of an early sunrise. Below, she saw a bright turquoise ocean, full of life. She flew through the white clouds looking for land, which found her first. Stopping on top of a large cloud, a gigantic island appeared just before her eyes. Julie looked upon it in amazement; she had never seen any place in the world like it.

"Well, this must be Neverland!" She said proudly.

All of a sudden, she heard a piercing gunshot go off. She looked straight below her and saw a boat. There were white sails with one black flag, showing a skull and crossbones symbol on it.

"Hook!" She scorned, looking down at the pirate ship, "I need a plan! I need to be quick, and get Lynn out without being seen! Or, I could enjoy the fact that I'm about to meet the famous Captain Hook and his crew of pirates and annoy them a bit!" So, taking out her sword glistening in the sun, and putting her dark blue glasses in her coat, she flew down sneakily and quietly towards the ship.

"Arrg!" The pirates cheered on deck, looking up at Smee, who was rallying up the pirates for their celebration.

"Our beloved Captain has a vast plan to get rid of that mangy pest we know as Peter Pan!"

"Arrg!" The pirates yelled in agreement.

Smee again quieted them and called, "Bring the girl forth!" Then, from the other side of the ship, two pirates came out from below, carrying a girl tied in tight rope, in a purple nightgown with Ariel on it, face covered with a bag, and came up the steps towards Smee. They stood the girl up by cutting the rope from her legs, still holding onto the wiggling child.

"And now my slug spewed seamen! Please help me in welcoming the man we call know and hate, Captain James Hook!"

The crowd cheered as their beloved Captain came out from the double doors, standing 6'7 with long, crazy black hair, a big hat with a single feather, a red suit, black boots, and of course, his left hand, replaced by a steel hook. He gave Smee a small nod, and Smee shouted at the crew, "Shut up!" Then, there was silence.

"Good morning my pitiful pesky pirates! I know most of you didn't get much sleep last night, seeing how we were successful in our kidnapping!"

The crew cheered again, and were quickly hushed. Hook continued, "I have here the answer to our prayers. Standing just to my right is non-other than Wendy herself!"

The crew cheered again. "Now, that was only phase one of my evil plan! But, before I share it with you, why don't we say hello to the little lass, ay?" Everyone screamed and hollered as Hook stepped towards the 5'2 girl trembling in her nightgown. Smee grinned from behind the Captain, happily watching him reach over and take off her mask. And in an instant, the bag fell to the ground. Everyone cheered loud as they looked at the frightened blonde girl crying.

However, from Hook's expression, Smee told them to stop immediately. "SMEE!"

"Uh, aye Cap'n?" Smee alertly asked.

The old pirate leaned over to his assistant and softly said, "This isn't her!"

"It's not?" Smee blurted out.

Using his hook to draw him close, the Captain replied raucously, "NO! It's not! The girl I want looks nothing like her," He walked back over to the girl and grabbed her by the hair, "She had brown hair! And you can even see it in her face!"

The girl looked frightened into the cold hearted man's blue eyes, "She's petrified! Wendy was brave, stupid, but brave. But this girl, I mean, I've seen more spine in a jellyfish!"

He let go of the girl's hair and shouted at her, "Who are you?"

Forcing the tears back, she softly said, "I'm, I'm Lynn, Lynn McConnell. I don't mean no harm sir, mister Hook sir!"

"Your name is Lynn? Why on earth were you in Wendy's room then?"

"What? Wendy's room? Oh, it must've been Wendy's room! Wow, that's so cool; I slept in Wendy's bed!"

The old pirate leaned in close to her and forcedly asked, "Why were you in her room? Why were you in Wendy's bed? Where is Wendy?!?" Lynn jumped back a foot, slowly beginning to cry again, seeing the Captain's eyes turn deep red.

"Hey!" A voice from out of no where called to Hook, "If you wanna talk about Wendy," Hook and his crew looked over at the other end of the ship, seeing a figure in the bright sunrise standing on the thin railing, "You talk to me!"

Covering the sun from his eyes, Hook looked in shock at the figure, it was a girl. He immediately gasped in surprise, "Wendy!" He went to Smee and grabbed his sword, coming closer to the girl. But, taking her sword, she put it straight to his neck.

"Unh unh unh! I'm not fighting you! I've come to make a proposition!" She said boldly.

"A proposition?" Hook questioned. He turned back to Smee smiling, then seriously back to the girl, "And what exactly to you want to propose?"

"Well, you have something I want, and I have something you want. We can make an even trade! Just put your weapon away, and I'll do the same. We talk one on one, and come to a conclusion. It's as simple as that!"

"Hmm…sounds interesting," The pirate pondered, "Alright, I accept." And they put their swords away. Hook then motioned to the pirates to leave, and left with Lynn, going down to the main deck. Now, Hook and the supposed Wendy stood at the helm alone.

"So, what is it that you have that I want?" He asked slyly.

"Isn't it obvious? Me." She pointed at herself. But, he played dumb and looked at her questionably. "Oh, come on! I heard you talking; you want me apart of the plan! You just grabbed my good friend by accident, thinking it was me! So, all I ask for is that you release Lynn, unharmed and let her go back to London; and I'll stay here, and fill out your plan with no complaints! Savvy?" She grinned at the pirate.

Narrowing his eyes, Hook frankly told her, "I never knew you were this clever Wendy. You really have surprised me. Maybe, it's your age. Obviously, you've grown at least three years!"

"Four." She corrected him.

"Ah," He stood corrected, "Well, I see that your proposition is fair. No funny business? No Pan?"

"Don't remember the last time I saw the brat!" The girl said more honest then the Captain would realize.

Smiling, Hook concluded, "I like your attitude. You will work very well indeed in my plan! Far better than I expected! And don't worry, me and my men will treat you well here, make no mistake of that!" He stuck out his left hook in agreement.

"So, we have an accord?" He asked her.

The girl grinned, finding her plan was going perfectly. As soon as they let Lynn go, Julie would fly after her and take her back to London, bolt all the windows, and have the police watch her home, or move somewhere else. Everything was going smoothly, until…

Lynn watched as the Captain stuck his hook towards Julie. She gasped and didn't know what to do. Her friend needed her. So, she looked up and the pirate holding her, and stepped on his foot, then punched him in the stomach. She ran towards the steps, but the pirates caught up to her and grabbed her, but not before she yelled out, "NOO! JULIE!!!"

Julie's eyes froze. She watched as they tied Lynn down who was in tears. 'Oh, crap!' She thought to herself. Slowly, she looked up into Hook's raging eyes.

Backing away, Julie laughed uncomfortably, "Uh, wow, would you look at the time? I really need to be going! Lots of things to do, people to see, you know the drill right? Ha! Umm, maybe we can take a rain check on that whole proposition thing, what do you think?"

Julie noticed him coming closer, but she had no more room left. Her back was against the rail. The old Captain growled, "No, I think I won't be taking that rain check. But, I do wish you a happy fall!"

"Eh?" Julie wondered. But before she knew it, Hook hit her with his claw so hard that it caused Julie to fall backwards overboard, splashing into the sea.

"NOO!" Lynn yelled from the clutches of the pirates. Not taking the screams any longer, a pirate knocked the prisoner out and they took her to the gallows below.

Up at the helm, Hook stood alone, looking at the blood spilt on his hook, he thought aloud, "Julie, hmph!" And she stomped off to find Smee; he would deal with the blonde girl later.

Below, Julie was floating to the bottom of the sea, still unconscious. Then, swimming towards her, a blue mermaid could be seen. She looked at the girl, and smiled. Then, she picked up a cone shaped shell and held it to Julie's mouth. Within and instant, Julie woke up. She looked around and then into the face of the mermaid, terrified. The blue mermaid placed a hand on her head and smiled sweetly. Julie calmed down a little, finding that she wasn't out of breath.

The mermaid then took Julie's hand to show her to follow her. Obediently, Julie did, not knowing where or what was going to happen. After a quick swim, the mermaid stopped. She pointed up, high above the water. Julie nodded, understanding that it was safe. She smiled at the blue girl, and then looked back up at the top of the water. Then, the mermaid leaned in and hugged Julie. Confused, Julie hugged back, then let go and swam up, leaving the mermaid behind.

Julie gasped coming up breath; it was strange to her to breathe air again. She looked straight in front of her and saw a wooden ladder built into a stone rock. The rock was very tall, and it lead up to a gigantic forest, secluded from the island. She swam towards the ladder and pulled herself onto it. Hastily, Julie made her way up the ladder.

Finding a rope at the top, Julie pulled herself up. She looked around her, all that was there was a green forest. Then, out from the wilderness, she heard noises. She heard grunts and args.

"Pirates!" She whispered out loud. Not wanting them to identify her, she slid behind a bush and ripped part of her dark blue coat. She took the thick piece of cloth and poked two holes in it so she could see. She tied it around her head, and suddenly felt stupid. If pirates saw her, they'd just think she was trying to be a ninja. But, it was the only protection she had. So, she zipped up her coat, hiding her feminine clothes. She lased up her all stars again and crept through the jungle.

The noises had stopped, and Julie peered around, being extra careful. Then, she heard a tree branch snap from behind her, and turned around, finding nothing. So, acting on instinct, she began going towards the sound. Then, she felt her leg snap and her body fly upside down and fling up into the air. She hung by her right leg, stuck.

Laughter was heard from the trees, and young boys cam running out to look up at their enemy. She looked down at them with her cold eyes, seeing that they were covered in paint; they were Indians. One spoke something to another in some weird language, and the other responded. Then, they laughed and began to walk away. Seeing this, Julie whipped out her sword and cut the vein.

Julie fell to the ground, and quickly got to her feet, watching the Indians expression of great alarm. Right as she was about to speak, someone else did.

"Hey!" From the other side of her, some other boys came, but they were not Indians, they were dressed like pirates.

"This is our prisoner! We found him first! There's no way we'll let you Indians take him from us!"

"Oh yeah? I'd just like to see you try!" One of the Indian boys spoke in perfect English.

Each of the groups screamed at each other and ran towards each other, wrestling to the ground. Seeing a getaway, Julie slowly crept in the opposite direction. Then, one of the smallest boys looked up and saw this, "Hey! The prisoners getting away!" The boys all screamed and got up, running after Julie.

"AHH!" She wasted no time and ran into the trees. 'Think, think! What do I do?' She thought to herself. She ran down the dirt path and found herself running towards a dead end, what seemed to be a cliff to a lower level of dirt and grass. She turned and looked behind her, the wild boys were gaining on her. She looked back at the cliff, seeing a tall vein only twenty feet away from it. So, closing her eyes, she jumped.

'Please still have some dust!' She thought. She opened her eyes, trying to make the jump last to the vein. The boys stopped at the edge of the cliff, watching the mystery intruder with amazement.

Julie reached her hands out, and just barely made the vein, holding it tight as she swung towards the ground below. However, she slipped and lost the grip of the rope, falling five feet. She hit the ground, coming up slowly. But just as she did, she felt swords and bows and arrows pointed at her. The boys had come down another path and were standing not too far from her, ready to shoot.

"Stop!" A gallant voice shouted out. The boys immediately looked up above them. Confused, Julie looked up as well. Then, her eyes became marbles. Floating down to the ground, a boy covered in an outfit of leaves with dusty blonde hair, planted his feet on the ground. His eyes were as blue as the sky just after the dawn, and his skin was tanned from days of flying in the sun. He had a devilish grin that no one could deny, he looked as though he was only thirteen. Placing his hands on his waist, Peter Pan narrowed his eyes in curiosity.

"Obviously this man was sent by Hook! He has come to fight me, since I am the sworn enemy of Hook. He is to kill me!"

The boys gasped and some even looked heatedly towards Julie. Then, a great bright ball floated towards Peter, carrying a gold sword. It tossed it to him, and he grabbed it quickly, and then came towards Julie. The boys surround them, feeling as though this would be an interesting fight.

However, Julie didn't want to fight. 'I mean, it's Peter Pan!' She thought it her head. But then suddenly, Peter clanged his sword with hers and drew close, inches from her face and whispered, "Come on, you're not afraid to fight a boy are you? Maybe, your really just a silly little girl!"

Pushing his sword and him away, Julie flicked her wrist showing off her swordsmen skills in midair, signaling she was ready. In an instant, he flung himself toward her and they clanged their swords together in a continuous rhythm. Peter began gaining ground at first, but then Julie quickly retrieved it. They were locked in an endless battle, not knowing who the better swordsmen was. The boys watched earnestly, knowing Peter would prevail. He always did. He had made up his own way of fighting that had worked against Hook for ages.

However, Julie's style was a little bit new. They clanged once and were twined together, and then, Julie forced his body on him, causing Peter to fly backwards into the air. Angrily, he flew towards her, no longer on the ground. Then, Julie jumped up into the air just as he dove on her, hitting the nearby wall instead. Floating back onto the ground, Julie approached Peter, who had dropped his sword. He tried to pick it up, but she picked it up with her foot, holding both his sword and hers at his neck.

"No!" The boys screamed. But, Peter put his hand up, keeping them back.

"Wait, I lost. He won. He came to fulfill his duty, and by the look in his eye, he won't be going anywhere until he achieves it!"

Everything in the forest was silent. Tinkerbell, the fairy floating next to the boys, looked at the duelers worriedly. No one knew what this stranger was going to do, then, it happened.

"You're right about one thing!" The stranger said, "I won't leave until I achieve my objective!" The stranger then passed the gold sword back to Peter, who curiously took it.

"But, you've got two things wrong! One, I'm not going to kill you, and two," Then, Julie pulled off her mask, revealing to everyone that she was indeed a girl.

"I am no man!"

All the boys gasped. Even Tinkerbell was flabbergasted. However, only one approached her. Peter stood up, and walked towards her. Julie lowered her sword and let him come close, so close that he reached out and touched her face softly with his hand. She looked upon him with exhaust and worry, but seeing his calm yet wild yet, she felt at peace.

"Wendy," He tenderly said to her, "You came back!"
