Peter, Tinkerbell, Kara and the lost boys played in the pond below the waterfall where Kara first entered Neverland. The boys were dressed in swim trunks and Kara was wearing a makeshift bathing suit made from pieces of clothing provided by the natives. Ooru sat cross-legged on a blanket on the shore. The boys were scrubbing themselves with a cleaning powder provided by the medicine man. "No forget," said Ooru, "wash behind ears."
"Wow! It sure feels great to be clean!" said one of the boys.
"Yeah!" shouted another.
The boys had also washed their clothes and hung them to dry on nearby tree branches.
Some time later, Kara sat by the shore staring up at the waterfall. Peter swam up beside her. "What's wrong?" he asked.
The girl sighed. "Well… I love it here… this place is beautiful… but I think I really want to go back home."
"Kara," said Ooru standing on the shore behind them. Kara turned to face him. "What you wish for more than anything?"
"Well…" she pondered to herself. "A portable ramp for my wheelchair would be nice. But then again… Right now, I just want to go home." She looked back up at the falls.
"You is very wise young woman. You know where to find happiness."
"Huh?" Kara said not understanding his meaning.
Ooru simply smiled. "Your return trip be much easier." He then sprinkled her with a strange powder.
"Why don't you stay the night and you can leave in the morning? Peter asked.
"Well, okay," Kara replied, "I guess my mommy wouldn't care much. I've already been gone two days anyway." She shrugged her shoulders. "I'm sure it's been quite relaxing for her."
That night, the boys with their newfound cleanliness slept like babies. Kara laid in her hammock and Peter before retiring himself handed her a small leather pouch that was tied shut with drawstrings. "Here," he said, "this pixie dust is in case you ever wish to come back and visit us."
She gave a tired smile and said, "Thanks, Peter." Kara slipped the pouch into her pocket and slowly dosed off to sleep as she listened to the peaceful sound of the crickets and tree frogs.
