For the first time in Her life Wendy Darling was nervous, and Peter didn't feel much different. For a few seconds that seemed like an eternity they stood there staring at the table wondering what to do. Finally Wendy broke the silence.
"W-Well," she said, "I suppose w-we should at least eat."
"Yeah," Said Peter nervously, "Eat." They sat down at the table hardly daring to look at each other. There meal consisted of grilled trout with all the trimmings. The first part of the meal was eaten in silence. Then they both chanced to reach for the salt- shaker at the same time.
They both froze when their hands touched and neither of them knew how long they sat there staring into each others eyes with her hand resting lightly on to of his.
Suddenly they simultaneously shook themselves out of their revelry and kept on eating while glancing sheepishly at each other the whole time. Finally their meal was done. The Plates vanished and the dessert appeared. Two big pieces of rich Chocolate cake topped with fudge sauce whipped cream in the shape of a heart and a cherry.
Peter smiled at Wendy,
"Do you think that Fin Vira is trying to tell us something?"
Wendy smiled and Her cheeks turned at least three shades pinker.
"What do you think?" asked Wendy.
"Well," Said Peter, "Maybe he's trying to tell me that I'm," Peter trailed off nervously unsure how to continue. At this point Wendy had the good graces to change the subject.
"I think it is pretty clear that Mydar is the one that stole the book." She said.
"Actually," said Peter, "I don't think that Mydar is working alone."
"Why?" Wendy Asked.
"Well," Said Peter When Fin Vira brought the book to Neverland and hid it in the Forbidden Cave he told me that he had put a special block on the book. A seal that prevented any Dark Practitioners or any other kind of malevolent person from being able to open the book."
"So," Said Wendy, "He would have to have someone else to open the book for him otherwise stealing it from the cave in Neverland didn't do him any good."
"Aye," said Peter, "He'll need someone innocent." Wendy's eyes widened and she gasped,
"My Brothers!!" Peter nodded.
"I was thinking the same thing," replied Peter, "We're done here shall we go and check on them?" Just as they stood up from the table Fin Vira appeared and the other Fairies returned.
"Fin Vira," said Peter bowing formally, "I thank you for your hospitality."
"I'm glad you came," Replied Fin Vira, "but to defeat Mydar you will need the medallions." He handed Peter and Small jewel chest, which once in Peter's hands grew to human size. Peter opened the chest and revealed that the chest had two circular gold Medallions. The Medallions were about the size of an American quarter and the each had a hole in the center of them. Peter took one of them and slipped it on the necklaces with the kiss that he had given her the night they met.
"Wendy," he said, "As long as you wear this Medallion no physical harm can come to you."
Peter then took the other medallion and put it in a special slot carved for it right at the hilt of his sword.
"What does that medallion do?" asked Wendy
"This Medallion makes the sword indestructible, as well as the ability to morphed into any style of sword and to shoot energy blasts from it." Just then Two Fairies appeared helping a now much healthier albeit still weak Tinkerbell over to Peter.
Peter took Tink his hand,
"How are you feeling Tink," he asked. She jangled that she was feeling better but that she was still a little tired.
Peter motioned for the two fairies.
"Take Tink through the secret portal and back to Neverland let her rest there until she gets her strength back." The two fairies nodded and disappeared with Tinkerbell.
Peter took Wendy by the hand.
"Come on Wendy," he Said, "We must see to your brothers safety." Passing through the outer gate they emerged behind waterfall. They walked out from behind the waterfall and took off flying toward London.
Finally Wendy's house came in sight and they flew in through the always- open nursery window. The boys all wanted to know what happened and what Peter was doing back.
"The book of Dreams has been stolen from the Forbidden cave and is now somewhere in the outside world." Replied Peter Wendy walked over to her bed and stooped down. Reaching under the bed she pulled out her sword.
"Wendy," said Slightly, "Shouldn't we tell an adult."
"Grown ups wouldn't believe us," said Wendy, "Therefore it falls to us to find the book and stop the bad guys."
"That's right," said Peter, "Mydar the dark fairy is the one whole took the book from Neverland, but he can't use the book directly so I'm sure that he has help. They'll need an innocent to break the seal and open the book so be careful and watch each others back."
Just then Mary Darling came bustling into the room,
"Wendy!" she said in relief, the she frowned in worry when she saw the sword in Wendy's hand, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to help Peter, Mother," she said, "there is grave trouble brewing and we're the only ones who can stop it."
"YOU MOST CERTAINLY WILL NOT GO WITH THIS WILD BOY!!" snapped Millicent Who had arrived just in time to here what Wendy said,
"No niece of mine is going to-,"
"MILLICENT SHUT UP!!" snapped Mary loud enough to make every one I the room including Peter to jump, for never in there time in this house had the boys or Wendy ever heard their mother raise her voice. "Wendy has never lied to me," Mary continued sternly, "So if she says that she and Peter are the only ones that can stop whatever grave happenings that are afoot, then she may go with Peter, and with my blessing!"
Wendy hugged her mother,
"Thank you, Mother," she said, "Don't let any of the boys out of your sight." Peter bowed politely to Mrs. Darling and took Wendy's hand.
"Come Wendy," He Said, "there is much to do and very little time to do it in." with that they flew out the window. Peter thought out loud as they flew along.
"We need a clue as to who Mydar might be working with and where they are hiding the book."
"Peter," said Wendy, "my uncle works for Scotland Yard and he once spoke of a snitch that he used named Rory O'Rourke A.K.A. 'Weasel' who runs a sleazy pawn shop on the corner of Bleaker Avenue."
Weasel was shoved backwards into a chair in the back room of the dilapidated old junk shack that he called a Pawn Shop. Peter and Wendy Stood over him with their swords at his throat.
"Now, Weasel," said Wendy, "We want information, so you'd better not play dumb."
"Because continued Peter for every minute you spend insulting our intelligence were going to spend removing a piece of your anatomy."
"In layman's terms," said Wendy, "Talk or I've just found myself a new pin cushion."
