Lampwick was fast asleep , but a noise woke him up . A eternal ringing , the sound of a heavenly song . What the ...? he thought looking up at the window .

A star , the wishing star seemed to grow closer . It`s amazingly bright brilliance nearly blinded Lampwick. Not only did Lampwick hear the sound of music but he heard Pinocchio stir from his bedroom down stairs .

Out of the light stepped the Fairy Woman in her long flowing robed of blue ."Hello Romeo .." She said looking down at Lampwick .

You came ?

"Of course I came . Your un-selfish wish has brought me here . You wished you could help your friends and the bad boys from Pleasure Island .Hopefully all the boys can change from the wicked way like you have. "

You can understand thoughts ? Lampwick looked at her.

"I can . You must understand , Romeo , that you taking a risk on going to help the others . I cannot undo the curse that was set upon you by the Coachman . I simply retuned you to look like a human , but unless you stop it , you`ll turn back into a donkey . "

So .. all of this .. was a lie ..?

"No. When you regain your voice , the curse shall be undone and you shall return to your full human form , living a normal life . When you go back to the Island , you mustn`t fall back into ill ways . This will turn you back into a donkey quicker than it did before I restored you to human form . "

Lampwick nodded . I`ve learned my lesson . I won`t go back to my old ways .

The Blue Fairy smiled . " It is nice to know you are determined to do this . Now to un-do the curse you must trap the Coachman . If you succeed , I shall take care of him and all the boys , no matter where they are now , will return to human form .But take heed Romeo , the Coachman might be able to see who you really are , and thus turn you back into a donkey ."

Lampwick gulped . He knew the Coachman could get a hold of him and turn him back . Lampwick took a glance at his legs and arms . Looking up he sighed I understand . But I need to help them . You don`t know what this means to me . I feel guilty that I`m living the good life as a human while others are suffering and if turning back into a donkey is a risk I accept that .

" Very well Romeo . " The Fairy said . " The Coach leaves ..."

Just then Lampwick heard someone climbing up the ladder . In shock Lampwick looked down and Pinocchio looked back up .On Pinocchio`s shoulder stood Jiminy Cricket . "What are you doing ? It`s must be 11 o`clock ....." The little boy froze when he saw the Blue Fairy standing on the platform of the hayloft .

The Blue Fairy smiled brightly . "Hello Pinocchio . Have you been a good boy ?"

The cricket nodded . "He has ! On of the best boys I know and I`m not saying that because I`m his conscience . "

The Blue Fairy winked to Jiminy . "Good . "

Pinocchio looked back and forth from Lampwick to the Blue Fairy . " What bring you here Miss Fairy ?"Jiminy asked .

" As you might know I restored Lampwick`s human form . Lampwick has also wished to help the other boys , the boys who have fallen for the Coachman`s lie of happiness and care-free lifestyle . He wishes to go back to trap the Coachman so boys in the future shall never fall under the evil of Pleasure Island ."

"But.. but..."Pinocchio stuttered . "Wasn`t he traumatized by that ? I mean , it was a life changing moment ..."

Pinoke , I know what`s right and I feel that this will help spare innocent boys from facing a cruel life . I`ve changed and I`ll be brave .

The Blue Fairy shook her head . " Lampwick feels that this is the right thing to do . He is doing something noble for the greater good of those naughty boys . I have heard their pleas and many have changed for the better ."

Pinocchio nodded and finally smiled at his best friend . " Your awfully brave to do this , and I think your going to need someone to help you defeat the Coachman ..."

Jiminy looked at Pinocchio . " You mean your going too ?"

Pinocchio nodded and smiled brightly . " Uh-huh !"

The Blue Fairy got back on subject . " The Coach departs at midnight tonight so you have very little time to prepare . Remember that only bad boys fall under the curse and If you stray away from good that shall be your fate . I wish you two the best of luck . " And with that Fairy backed away gracefully and disappeared into the light with the heavenly tone behind her .

"Let`s get a move on ."Jiminy said .

Lampwick and Pinocchio changed into everyday clothes . As they were leaving , Jiminy suggested . "Why don`t we leave a note for Geppetto , in case he wakes up . "

"Good thinking . "Pinocchio said pulling out some scrap paper and a pencil .

Dear Father ,

Lampwick and I have left to stop the Coachman and help the boys from Pleasure Island . Don`t worry where in safe hands and we`ll be in fine . We`ll be back soon , hopefully by morning .

Your Son ,

Pinocchio

Creeping out of the house Lampwick took a deep breath . He gather his courage ,wishing to remain as hopeful as he was with the Blue Fairy . It seemed that when she was around , anything was possible . Now that he was on his own he felt less brave , almost unable to take another step . Pinocchio noticed that and smile back at his best friend . " I know you can do this , it`s a hard thing to go back to a place that changed you life forever."

Lampwick felt better with Pinocchio`s encouragement . They approached the cross roads . Lampwick had a flashback to the first time he rode the coach . He could remember it all , how the coach shook , the feel of his sling shoot in hand , the blue moon high in the sky . Grabbing his wrist Lampwick sighed again .

He was on a quest to stop the villainous Coachman , but it wasn't as easy as the Blue Fairy made it sound . Lampwick might of been 14 , but that still didn`t mean he had the courage of an adult . Trapping the Coachman would take some time . And if their plan failed ? What if Lampwick turned back into a donkey ?

Before he could answer those questions , the coach came up the dirt path .

It`s now or never . Lampwick told himself and sighed getting ready to board the Coach to Pleasure Island again . Only this time he had far greater things to do than then loof around and play pool. Much greater ....
