Hours later, Alex and Jack were asleep on the raft, but Ariel was still awake, she looked out into the sky, and then looked at the sleeping Alex. "What would I give, to be, with you." She began to sing. "What would I pay, to stay by you side… Where we would walk, Where we would run, Where would we stay in the sun." Ariel approached the Sleeping Alex. "Just you and me, then I could be, Part Of your World…" Just as Ariel finished she leaned down and Kissed Alex on his lips. Alex muttered something in his sleep before going silent again. Ariel giggled as she laid down next to him. And fell asleep.
Chapter 8: Off to Neverland!The early morning sun beat down on Alex's face, waking him up. "Morning already?" He said as he yawned. He looked over and saw that Ariel was next him, she was still asleep, but her arm was around his neck. Alex blushed a bit before moving to see if Jack was up. "Jack, you up?" Alex asked. "No." jack responded as he kept his eyes shut. The raft suddenly came to a halt on an island, waking everyone up. "Where are we?" Ariel asked. "It appears we washed up on another island." Jack said finally waking up. The three left their raft and began to explore. As they walked along the beach, Alex saw something sparkle out of the corner of his eye; he turned around, but saw nothing. "What's up?" Jack asked. "I thought I saw something…" Alex responded. He continued on with his friends, but couldn't shake the feeling something was off. "You ever get the feeling like your being watched?" Alex asked to no one in particular.
Jack just gave him a weird look and continued on. "Something wrong Alex?" Ariel asked thoughtfully. "I can't shake the feeling that we're being watched." Alex said looking around. Something nudged his hair and Alex looked up, this time, he saw something. It was a boy about his age with red hair, and green clothes, and he was flying right above him! Alex jumped back and pointed his sword at him. "Who are you?" Alex demanded. "And why were you following us?" Jack and Ariel turned around, and also saw the flying boy. "Hey, take it easy buddy." The boy said as he landed on the ground in front of Alex. "I'm Peter Pan, and my friend told me there were some weird people on the island, so I investigated." "Then why did you sneak up on us?" Alex asked. "It's more fun that way.' Peter replied. Suddenly a glowing orb appeared before them. Closer inspection revealed it was actually a fairy. "What is that?" Ariel asked. "This is my fairy, Tinkerbell" Peter replied. "Well, I'm Alex, and these are my friends, Ariel, and Jack." Alex said introducing himself. "CAPTAIN Jack, if you please…" Jack interrupted.
"Don't mind him; he's been like that because he lost his ship to some guy named Captain Hook." Alex said. "Captain Hook?" Peter shouted. "You know him?" Ariel asked. "Know him?" Peter asked. "Hook is my sworn enemy! I last saw him circling the far side of the island." Jack suddenly pulled out his sword. "Let's go get my ship back!" He shouted as he ran off in a random direction. Peter and the others followed him as they began to search for Hook. As they traveled thru the depths of the jungle, Ariel watched Peter with amazement. "How is it you can fly?" Ariel asked. "Oh, anyone can fly its easy, you wanna try?" Peter asked. The three nodded and Tinkerbell blasted them with some gold dust. "All you've gotta do is, think of a happy thought." Peter said.
Ariel closed her eyes and though of all he hopes and dreams, but she mainly thought about Alex. And to her surprise, she was flying in the air with Peter. All jack could think of was getting revenge on Hook, so Jack could not fly. Alex tried to think, but nothing. "I can't think of a happy thought." Alex said. Ariel came up from behind and wrapped her arms around Alex's neck, and rested her head against his. "Not one happy thought?" Ariel asked. Alex thought about when Ariel kissed him for the first time and he slowly began to hover, but then plopped back on the ground. "I can think of a few, but none of them are strong enough." Alex said. Ariel just frowned as she held onto him. "Hey guys." Peter interrupted. "Hook is just beyond this bush." Peter moved it aside to reveal a large Pirate ship which was visible from the distance.
"MY SHIP!" Jack cried as he sprinted down into the water and swam toward the ship. Alex and Ariel followed him in and went after him. "Guys wait! The water is dangerous!" Peter called, but they were too far out to hear him. "Swimming would be a lot easier if I had my fins." Ariel commented as they went after Jack. A few minuets of Swimming seemed drag on forever as they chased Jack. "Alex! Something just wrapped around me leg!" Ariel shouted. The water began to grow shallow as something pulled them closer to the ship, they were right alongside the ship, when they were hoisted into the air, they were in a giant fishing net! Jack used his sword to cut himself free, but it was too late for Alex and Ariel, because by the time Alex pulled out the Disney Blade, they were pulled onto the deck of the Black Pearl.
Pirates came out of nowhere and held them both down. As Alex was held to the floor, he heard footsteps approach; he looked up and saw a man with a pointed mustache and a hook for a hand. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Alex looked him over and knew who he was. "Captain Hook, I presume." Alex said as he looked up at him. "Ah, so you've heard of me." Hook said looking down at him. "Yeah, from an old pal of yours." Alex said. "Captain Jack Sparrow" Hook got a shocked look on his face but quickly hid it. The Pirates tied them both to the mast; When Hook wasn't looking Ariel whispered to Alex. "Alex, what now?" she asked. "I…I don't know…" Alex said as he sighed and looked down at his feet. They were trapped, Jack was nowhere in sight, and Alex was out of ideas. "So much for happy thoughts…" he muttered to himself.
