Chapter 5:
"Peter"
Night had slipped into day with out the children
noticing. Birds chirped out side the little houses windows, but still
the children paid no attention to the passing time. All night they
had sat around in a circle reciting all the memories that Charlie had
forgotten. But of course they didn't do it alone. They had help
from all of Neverland. By the time the sun had risen Charlie could
remember all the way back to her first battle to the time she went to
the fairy glade. Most memories where yet to be recovered but they
where getting there. It was a slow process but it was worth it.
"Oh,
oh" Nibs shouted above the crowd. "What about the time when we
were chased by the fairies for giving them burnt food for the
celebration. Wasn't that funny?" All the boys laughed.
"Oh,
oh what about…" Slightly started brushing away some tears.
"No
it was my turn" one of the twins interrupted angrily. "Remember
when…"
Charlie's head was spinning with so many memories
jammed into at once. Half of which didn't match any door. She felt
like she was working in a factory. She had to sort the memories into
their right doors and then throw away the ones that didn't fit.
Tootles whom was sitting opposite Charlie was the only one who saw
the lost expression on her face, every other boy was to busy trying
to get there story out. With great difficulty he roused Peter.
"Boys,
wait!" Peter's strong, confident voice boomed above the rest.
All
the boys stopped and stared at Peter. They had completely forgotten
their actual mission, which was to help Charlie. She had gotten
completely lost in the wave of memories that washed around
her.
"Charlie?' A heavenly voice echoed down the corridor like
an electronic speaker. "Charlie you there?" A hand waved across
her vision.
Giggling she waved back. She came back to the fantasy
that was her reality. As her eyes came back into focus, she saw deep
blue eyes boar into hers. Then the door to him opened, and she
remembered who he was.
"Peter?"
----------------------------------------------
All the boys gasped in shock. Peters face shone, A gleeful smile perched happily upon his lips and a sparkle glinted in his eyes. Charlie just stared. She was surprised herself, but she knew she was right because the boys started to dance and sing again. The fiery child that had been in Jane was still there in Charlie. Charlie was remembering now and a bright smile stretched across her face because of it.
"And you're Slightly" she said pointing at him. "And Curly, Nibs..." and it went on. She named each boy with great pride. For the rest of the day they went through each memory with a new light. This time, slower so she didn't get confused.
