time to meet the first Darling child that Peter brings to Neverland.
PLZ R&R!
Peter quietly hides in the bushes on the edge of cannibal cove, the official home of the pirates. Slightly crawls up behind him and whispers quietly.
"Is this a good idea Peter? They are way older than us now, even though we've grown, they've grown faster." Peter scoffs and watches the cove for signs of the pirate ship.
"They aren't that much older..." slightly sighs and rolls his eyes.
"You are 11 Peter, they are over 20. That's..." he counts it out on his fingers slowly.
"That's more than five years... Peter! We are younger than you..." Peter sighs and shakes his head.
"You don't have to go with me slightly, go hunt some Indians or something..." slightly sighs and frowns.
"Fine, but be careful Peter..."
He crawls away and rustling in the leaves signifies the others leaving too. Peter frowns and tries to concentrate on finding James. The ship rows into the cove and Peter tenses. He can hear James yelling at his pirate crew. He sighs and waits for a secret weapon to appear. He hears a stirring in a creek that flowed into the cove. He smiles and waits for the creature to show itself. On deck James yells at one of his crew members. Peter sighs and wishes he had someone to watch this with him. He makes up his mind and flies up, back to the star he hadn't go through for five years. He appears back in the London sky and flies to where his home used to be. He finds it abandoned and frowns. He flies low, looking for an inviting house. He stops when he sees a window that's open. He lands on the sill and peers in. He sees a boy about his age sleeping in a bed. Peter looks around the room and finds it full of books and model ships. He nods and steps inside the room. The boy stirs but doesn't wake up as Peter examine him more closely. A young skinny boy with dark brown hair and a pale face. Peter considers how to wake him. Then decides to just shake him.
"Hey kid? Hello? Wake up!" he shakes the boy until he jolts awake. The boy blinks and stares at Peter.
"Who are you?" his commanding voice startles Peter but he smiles anyways.
"Hi, I'm Peter, what's your name?" the boy frowns and gets up, standing a few inches taller than peter.
"I'm George Darling. What are you doing in my room?" Peter shrugs and looks around.
"I was wondering if you wanted to come play with me... Do you?" George looks at him confused.
"How did you get here?" Peter smiles and looks at the window.
"I flew." George's eyes widen and he stares at Peter more closely.
"Flew? What do you mean?" Peter just smiles and lifts several inches off the ground, looking at George eye to eye. George looks down at peter's feet and gasps.
"You, you are floating!" Peter nods and falls back to the ground.
"Yes I was do you want to come with me? I can teach you!" George nods and smiles excitedly. Peter grabs his arm and jumps up, flying out the window and to Neverland. He lands on a cloud and starts pointing out all the landmarks to George.
"That's skull rock, and that's mermaid lagoon!" he points to an outcrop with a Smokey fire rising in the center.
"That's the Indian camp. And that's hangman's tree. And that is cannibal cove. Where the pirates live... They aren't good." he sighs and then looks for anything else important.
"Oh I almost forgot, that," he points to a small creek the flows into cannibal cove. "That is crocodile creek. That's where my secret weapon is. My crocodile I found. I'm going to scare the pirates with it. Here I'll show you!" he picks up George who protests momentarily about going near a croc.
"But what if it eats us!" Peter just smiles and flies down toward the creek.
"It won't." he heads closer to meet his potential ally...
