Chapter Five: A Moonlight dinner
Peter wanted to do something really special for Wendy. She was a remarkable girl and he knew that the feeling he had was love. He was scared that she would one day return home and forget all about him and the lost boys. He knew she had parents and she might get homesick, but it still bothered him so he confided in John, hoping that John could help him.
"Why don't you prepare a dinner for her" John suggested. Peter thought about this.
"What kind of dinner?" He asked curiously. "I am a bit new at this" John smiled.
"Just a moonlight dinner underneath the stars" John explained. "Tell her how you feel and enjoy the evening. I can help you prepare it if you like" Peter smiled at his new friend.
Wendy was reading in Peter's chair when Isabelle entered the room.
"Wendy, Peter has a surprise for you" Isabelle told her. "But first, we must give you a make over" Now you must think that Wendy would look like a heathen, but Isabelle knew alot about fashion from her Mermaid friends.
"What do you mean?" Wendy asked, standing up. She noticed that Isabelle had something behind her back. Pulling it out, Isabelle showed her a dress. Wendy gasped. The dress was very beautiful.
"Where did you get that?" She asked.
"The fairies spun it out of silk worm, leaves and fairy dust" Isabelle replied. The dress was long and a dark deep green with gold dust all over it. there were maching slippers made from the bark of the Mother Dove tree. Once Wendy was dressed, Isabelle french braided her hair.
"You look wonderful" The lost boys told her when they inspected her. Wendy smiled as John led her out of the hideout. He led her to a secret clearing where a table was set for too with candles. Peter was standing there waiting for her. He held out a hand and she took it. Niether noticed when John left to go back to the hideout.
"What is all this?" Wendy asked. Peter smiled.
"I wanted to do something special for you" He told her as they sat down. Wendy ate and the food was delicious. After the meal, they stared up at the stars.
"Wendy, I want to show you something" Peter told her. He took the pendant off and held it out to her.
"This is beautiful" She said softly, running her fingers over it.
"It is solid gold" Peter replied. "My mother gave it to me before she died" Wendy turned to face him.
"Is that why you came here?" She asked. Peter nodded.
"After Mum died, My father left and they were going to put Isabelle and I in seperate orphanages. We were scared and we wanted to stay together , so we ran away and met Tinkerbelle who took us to Neverland, where she lived. We have lived here ever since. Most of the lost boys were abandoned or run away children. Anyway, I give this pendant to you now" He said softly, putting it around her neck. Wendy threw her arms around Peter and kissed him, before realizing what she was doing. She pulled away and they both blushed. Just then Michael ran into the clearing. His hair was mussed up and his shirt was torn.
"Michael, what's wrong?" Wendy asked, the moment forgotten.
"Everyone has been captured" Michael cried out. "I was hiding from John so they didn't find me" Peter stood up.
"Hook has gone too far this time" He said. "Let's go."
