Neverland
Tink flew around Neverland happily, as the sun started to peak from behind the darkness, bathing the island with its warm light. But then, something in the sky above caught her gaze. She flew up higher and there she realized, the Jolly Roger was flying back in Neverland.
How could it be flying?. Peter isn't using it...he's fast asleep in the hideout, dreaming of Wendy no doubt. Tink cursed silently before flying up to the ship to see what was going on.
She hid in a corner, listening to the crew drink merrily. When suddenly, Hook came walking happily out of his cabin. But he was not alone, Tink was surprised to notice a women walked out beside him, both holding a glass of wine!.
How strange!. What is a lady like her doing in Neverland?. Only Wendy was ever the girl or lady to visit Neverland...by Peter's agreement with the fairies for her to return to Neverland. But what is she doing here?. She is not the Wendy lady...so she is not aloud to be here!.
Surely the fairy court knows nothing of another lady other then Wendy in Neverland!. Best to tell Peter, just in case Hook's up to trouble. With that,
she flew away, unnoticed by any of the crew.
She flew back hurriedly to the hideout, to finally awaken Peter Pan. When she arrived, there as usual, was Peter lying on the bed of furs, sleeping peacefully, a slight, dreamy smile on his lips.
Tink hated to wake him up when he was in such a state, but there could be an upcoming threat. Lightly, she took one of his blond curls and tugged on it lightly. All she got from a response was a groan.
She tried again, this time a little harder. But another groan, and as he turned over, he whispered in his sleep "Wendy". Tink was furious, for so many reasons, and angrily she took more of his hair and yanked as hard as she could several times.
"Wendy..."Peter started in his sleep. "Wendy...Wendy I...I" frightened on what he was going to say, but he never got to finish it because of Tink's yank on his hair and he awoke.
Peter rubbed his eyes, then his hair before he finally laid eyes on the fairy. "Good Morning Tink" he greeted happily. Tink chimed a good morning back, but she was still upset about what Peter almost said.
"Tinkerbell?" came Peter's voice. Tink shot him a questioning look. "Tink...are you ok?" he asked concerned. Brushing aside her thought, she nodded happily. "That's good...come on, lets go get breakfast" said Peter and he and Tink flew out and off in the distance.
Jolly Roger
Thinking that Wendy was dead and the finding of his love, Captain Hook danced around happily with one hand on Jessie Cook, the other holding a glass of wine. He was the happiest he had ever been, he now knew what love was like and he didn't have to worry about the Darling children coming back. He stopped and gazed down happily at Jessie.
"Ah Jessie...I am more then happy to have you here" said Hook. "Everything is going well, you don't have to worry about that witch Wendy Darling" said Jessie. "The only thing left to do is make sure the mermaids here the news and swim off to tell Pan" said Hook. He suspected that the mermaids had heard the crew happily partying from their ship.
He leaned over the side of the ship slightly and as he suspected, the mermaids were listening. Taking this as a queue, he pretended to act casually. "Oh my...Life is so swell...now that Wendy Darling is dead" he said, making his voice loud to make sure the mermaids heard it, and they did. "Oh yes...with Wendy Darling dead...it will be easy to finally kill Peter Pan" said Hook.
After that he heard the splashing of water and, leaned over to find that the mermaids were now gone. "It worked...they're off to tell Pan now. I only wish I could see his face once he gets the news" said Hook. "Oh yes...I'm sure he'll be thrilled" said Jessie, she was obviously drunk.
While this was all taking place, Peter was sitting on a high branch of a fruit tree. All day, he's been up there, eating as much fruit as he could and enjoying the wonderful scenery. Tinkerbell was sitting on his knee, eating the little pieces of fruit, Peter had cut off for her, and enjoying every bite of it.
Chewing on a piece of fruit he had just bit off, he stared at the huge hole in the fruit, where he had just bitten. "Wendy would have loved to taste this" said Peter, finally swallowing. At this, Tinkerbell became angry. She flew off his knee and started squeaking angrily at him. "Sorry...I can't help it!. I can't stop thinking about her" said Peter, and he took another bite.
Just then, they heard the mermaids calling to them. Swallowing, Peter said" The mermaids want to speak with us...I wonder why?" .Shrugging his shoulders, he launched himself off the branch and flew through the air towards the ocean, Tinkerbell trying to keep up with him.
The conversation with the mermaids was not pleasant...not pleasant at all. Once the mermaids had bid their farewells in their own language and swam away, Peter just sat there. Tinkerbell came up to him, seeing the blank expression on his face. In her own words she asked what was wrong.
"The mermaids say that...Hook killed Wendy" said Peter, hearing from his own mouth was cutting through him, he couldn't believe it. "Hook went to London and killed Wendy" said Peter, after he had heard Tinkerbell ask "how". "Wendy's...never coming back...she's gone...
Forever" said Peter, tears starting to fill up his usually bright green eyes.
"I...I have to...go" said Peter, trying to hold back the tears. He flew away quietly. Something about this didn't seem right to Tink. Sure,she felt sorry for Peter, he had lost the girl he cared most about, but Hook going to London to kill Wendy?. Tink had to see it for herself. Before she can leave, she had to tell Peter where she was going.
She followed the sounds of Peter crying all the way into the hideout. There, she saw him lying on his bed, his head tucked away in his arms. She hated to see him like this, even though she didn't like Wendy, she knew she had to show some sympathy.
She lightly ruffled his hair in order to get his attention. At this, he looked up at her. She felt sad when she saw that his eyes where cloudy and his cheeks tear stained. In fairy language she told him that she was going to get something to help cheer him up. At this, he smiled.
"Nothing on this island can cheer me up Tink...but thanks for trying" he said. She lightly kissed him on the cheek and flew out of the hideout. As he rested his head on his arms ,he thought about Wendy, and all the time they spend together. But the thought of her only brought more tears.
Tinkerbell was determined to find out the truth about this. Something inside of her heart told her that Wendy was not dead. As she got closer to the barrier that separated Neverland and the real world, she thought about what Peter said. Nothing on the island may not be able to cheer him up, but if Wendy was really still alive, then Tink knew exactly what would make him feel better.
The boys had a extremely hard time the next morning, explaining to their parents what had happened. They were punished by their father, thinking it was them who made all the mess. They had to clean up the mess themselves and they're toys were locked away.
Wendy had no idea that Hook had came in the nursery, intending on killing her but making a mess of the nursery. The boys would wait until Wendy had come in herself. She had been downstairs, helping her mother with breakfast, once it was ready she came in.
She stopped dead in her tracks, once she saw the mess of the room.
Seeing her shocked face as she entered, they stopped what they were doing. "It was Hook, Wendy" said John. "He came back to kill you". All they got was still her shocked face.
"Do you believe us?" asked Tootles. "They slashed us and tried to shoot us, thinking they were killing us" said Curly. "Please believe us". "I believe you...I truly do. You may be messy, but seven little boys could not make this big of a mess" said Wendy.
"So you believe us?" said Curly. "Yes, I mean none of you could make gunshot holes in the walls like that...it has to be a pirate" said Wendy. They brightened when she said she believed them. But then, I scary thought came to her. "Peter...Peter's in trouble" said Wendy.
"With Hook alive...he could kill Peter. He has no one protecting him" said John. "If only we had some fairy dust...you could go back to Neverland and save him" said Wendy disappointed. All their faces hung low in sadness...Peter Pan was going to die.
"Do not worry...I'm sure Tink or Peter himself will be back so we can stop Hook once again. I'll also help you boys clean up this mess, Hook left for us to pick up" said Wendy. With that, they went down to breakfast.
Breakfast was somewhat silent. Mr. and Mrs. Darling discussed the news over breakfast. The children were quiet, lost in thought about Neverland. Wendy thought about Peter, all alone and unprotected, able to be killed by Hook. No, she would not let that happen.
Suddenly, the door flung open and in rushed Aunt Millicent. Wendy's face turned bitter at the sight of her. There was a worried look on her face and she was all out of breath. "What is the matter Aunt?" asked Mrs.Darling.
"Did you read the newspaper yet this morning?" she asked all in a rush. "Im just doing so now why do you ask?" asked Mr.Darling. "Oh its dreadful" said Aunt Millicent as she started taking off her coat and scarf. "You know one of my dear friends I have tea with?' asked Millicent, almost directing the question to Wendy.
"Well it seems that she's gone missing" said Aunt Millicent. "Missing?. But how?" asked Mrs. Darling. "Read what it says George" said Millicent. Mr. Darling turned back to the paper. "Local Women disappears with Strange looking men?" read Mr. Darling. Wendy had a hunch, maybe Captain Hook took her away to Neverland, to finish Peter off perhaps.
"Read the rest father" she said quickly. "Local women Jessie Cook was seen last night, until taken by what seems to be a crew of eight men, dressed like pirates. A man with black curls and a hook for a right hand, seems to be the captain, took her aboard a floating Jolly Roger. They were last seen heading towards a particular star".
"It has to be Hook" whispered Wendy to the boys. They nodded in agreement. "He must have taken her to finish off Peter...thinking that I'm dead, Peter would be defenceless and has no happy thoughts" said Wendy. After breakfast they all ran upstairs. They gathered in the nursery.
They locked the door to make sure the grown ups, talking downstairs did not hear them. "That must be what happened. Hook came in and started attacking you, thinking they were killing me. Then bumped into Jessie and hearing of my death, she agreed to go with them" said Wendy.
"But why would she?" asked Michel. "I've told her about Peter Pan. Just by the mention of him she was disgusted by him. So maybe, she agreed to help kill Peter. For now, he must have heard of my death and so, has no more happy thoughts" said Wendy. "We have to go back".
"If only Tinkerbell would come back...or Peter" said Tootles. "You idiot. Peter cannot fly for he has no happy thoughts...he thinks his Wendy is dead...gone forever" said Nibs. Wendy blushed. She had never heard that nickname before..
"Tink should be coming soon" said Wendy, staring out of the window. "How do you know?" asked Nibs. "I feel it in my heart...she'll come" said Wendy. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. John went over and opened it, there was Slightly, all out of breath.
"Have you...heard...the news" he asked. "Yes...we think its Hook" said Wendy. "Why would you think..."he stopped dead once he saw the mess. "Hook's alive and he came back to kill Wendy. Now, he's going to kill Peter" said Tootles. "We also think that he took Jessie Cook with him" said Wendy.
"I suppose your right...but how can we help?" asked Slightly. "All we can do is wait" said Wendy turning back to the window. "Wait for what?" asked Slightly. "She thinks Tink is on her way here" said John. "But. how can that..."he stopped at the look on Wendy's face.
Wendy knew that Peter had heard the news of her death, Tinkerbell would come.
It was well passed midnight when finally, the window was flung open. A little ball of light came flying into the room. Instead of flying under the bed, she tried to find Wendy's bed, but she didn't find her. Angry, she automatically kicked a lump on the bed. It was a small kick but it was hard enough to wake up a lost boy.
"Tink?. Is that you?" asked Tootles. "TINK" he screamed and once she realised who it was, she went up to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Boys...Its Tink" said Tootles. Her light blinded them at first, but once they rubbed the sleep out of their eyes they crowded around her.
To the lost boys, she was the next best thing, if Peter didn't come, it was her they looked forward to. "Is Peter alright?" they asked. "Is he dead yet?" asked another. Feeling like she can't breath, Tink flew out of their grasp and started imitating Wendy.
"Where's Wendy?" John finally caught on, the giveaway was the kissing faces she did, meaning the "thimble" between Peter and Wendy. "She's down the hall.. but she'll be so glad to see you" . At this Tink rolled her eyes as if saying "whatever", and flew out of the room.
The boys followed a few seconds after and came in finding Tinkerbell hovering over Wendy. She landed next to Wendy's ear and started pulling on her hair. Few minutes after, Wendy's eyes fluttered open. She was blinded by the light of Tink.
"What's happening? "she asked, trying to cover her eyes from the light. "Tink?" she asked once she started to wake up a bit. "Tink's come back Wendy" said Michel as they all crowded in. "Is Peter alright? Is he hurt?" asked Wendy suddenly. She flew up into the air, where Wendy could see her better.
She then put her hands on her hips, imitating Peter. Then she pretended to cry. "Peter's upset?" asked Wendy. Tinkerbell nodded. She pointed to Wendy. "I'm...what?" she asked, a bit confused. Then Tink pretended to be dead."...because I'm dead. Peter's upset because I'm dead" said Wendy.
"Poor Peter...we have to help him" said Tootles. "Tink...can you fly us all to Neverland?" asked Wendy. Tink nodded and they all got in one big row. One by one they were covered in fairy dust and they floated into the air. Then they started heading for the window and flew out.
Wendy was last, but before she flew out the window, she turned to the door and whispered. "Sorry mother, sorry father, but Peter needs me" said Wendy. With that she was out the window.
It wasn't hard to catch up with her brothers. They were waiting for her outside her window and together they flew to the second star to the right. As before, they held onto each other's ankles and blasted through the barrier and into Neverland.
The sun was just starting to rise, once Neverland came into view. "Its just like I dreamed it" said Wendy as they got closer and closer. Tink motioned them to be careful, for Hook doesn't realise that they're alive.
Hook and Jessie were on the deck of the Jolly Roger, enjoying their victory. "How do you want me to kill Peter Pan my dear" he asked Jessie. "Slash his throat with your iron hook darling" she responded. "As I do always...good choice" said Hook, he took her hand and kissed it. "That's what I love about you Jessie" he said.
Just then, one of his crew came up to him. "Captain...I think you should see something" he said. "What is it now?" he asked disgusted. He was only handed the telescope. Hook adjusted the telescope and looked to the sky. "I don't see a thing" said Hook. The pirate pointed him in the right direction.
After a few minutes, Hook lowered the telescope in disgust." What is it dear?" asked Jessie from behind him. "I don't believe it...Wendy Darling...is alive" said Hook. "What?. But I though you got rid of the girl" said Jessie. "I did too darling but its obvious she survived" said Hook. "She must be trying to get to Pan".
"We must stop her...if only we knew where Peter Pan was hiding" said Jessie. "Don't fret my dear...we'll defeat them once and for all soon. Just let them have their reunion" said Hook with a devilish smile on his face.
