The tunnel walls were made of nylon, the same material as the tent. As the trio flew onward, the tunnel widened and became a large cave. The walls were now made of rock. Stalagmites stood sporadically along the floor. Stalactites could be seen on the ceiling. Tinkerbell's light dimly lit the natural corridor. "Wow! What is this place?" Kara's voice echoed.
"That magic tunnel led us to this cave in the side of the mountain in Neverland" Peter replied.
"Wow!" said Kara, "I can't believe I'm in Neverland! I hope my mom won't mind."
The three continued onward. They encountered several bats along the way. The air in the cavern became very moist. Moss covered the walls and they could hear the sound of rushing water. As they continued forward, the cave ended behind a cascading waterfall.
Tinkerbell hid in Peter's pocket. "Follow me!" he said to Kara. Then he turned and dove through the wall of water. Kara raised her eyebrows in shock. She hovered there for a few minutes trying to gather up enough courage to fly through. Taking a deep breath, she cautiously glided into the waterfall feeling the heavy water pushing downward on her back.
It was then all over in a second. Kara felt the hot tropical fresh air on her face. Before her was a beautiful valley covered by a dense green jungle. Wisps of water vapor could be seen escaping from the forest canopy below. The sky was blue and filled with huge cumulous clouds. The view was breathtaking.
Kara's jaw hung wide open and her eyes bulged at the beauty of the landscape. She looked down and saw a pond about a hundred feet below into which the water from the falls was emptying. On the far side of the pond was a river that led into the jungle. Peter was in the water doing the backstroke looking up at her. "Come join us!" he called up to her.
"No", she said, "I'm not dressed for it."
"Oh, come on! You're wet already", Peter shouted up to her. Just then, she noticed it was getting more and more difficult to stay aloft in the air. She began to slowly sink, coming closer and closer to the water below. Finally, as the pixie dust wore off completely, Kara flailed her arms and dropped into the pond with a splash. The water felt cool and refreshing. Using her arms and the swimming skills she learned in her therapy sessions, Kara swam to the surface to find Tink and Peter laughing hysterically.
