Chapter 2 Finding Neverland
"Okay Brooke, it's time for you to get more experience. After all, one day, you need to take it over."
"Really? After what I did in Wonderland?"
"Yes, even after Wonderland. You know the rules. Only narrate and don't interfere with the story. We will be watching you."
"Thank you so much! I won't disappoint you two."
"Well Brooke, it's time to start the story."
Peter Pan and Tazmin were flying through the sky, leaving the second star to the right, right behind them. The two of them were going really fast and soon arrived in the Enchanted Forest. Peter sent Tazmin ahead to find help, as he himself would try to find a way out of the forest
In the meantime, Raven Queen was in the library with Joanne Hook, daughter of Captain Hook. The two of them were paired together for an assignment, and thus they decided to go ahead with it. Raven liked the other girl, but not enough to become friends with her. The same went with Joanne. Rumpelstiltskin was the one who made up the pairs and as expected, the assignment was quite hard.
Tazmin was quickly flying next to a gigantic building, when she noticed someone sitting in it. She stopped and looked through the window. She was really happy to see Joanne Hook sitting there. Even though the girl was supposed to be an enemy later on, Tazmin liked the girl. She knew Hook also loved his daughter very much, as he had spoiled her since she was a child. When they were children, Hook had stopped chasing Peter Pan, since he wanted more time with Joanne. This had disappointed Peter and he tried to unlock a fight with the infamous Captain time after time. But Hook refused it for many years. In the end, Captain Hook pulled the longest cord. Because the captain refused to fight, a lot of his pirates abounded him and only Mr. Smee and three other pirates were still with him.
It was around a year ago that the Waterfall of Ages first started doing weird. Instead of its usual blue/golden color, it went dark red and everyone started aging normally. Well, everyone except Joanne. She went from a five year old to an fifteen year old in just a week. The Indians had found a way to make the Waterfall get its usual color back, but warned them that it wouldn't last very long. Peter, as carefree he was, dismissed it and went on with his life. Everyone soon followed and the incident was forgotten. Only the pirate crew found it important to make sure the Waterfall was save and sound. Since Joanne was now a fifteen-year old girl, Hook made a deal with Peter Pan. Peter would bring Joanne to Ever After, so she could attend the school there and Captain Hook would start fights again with the lost boys. Peter agreed to this deal eagerly and Joanne was brought to Ever After High. She now shares a dorm with Kara Shoe and likes the life here, although she still misses Neverland.
Tazmin looked for an open window and found one. She flew in, right to Joanne and Raven.
"Whoa." Raven said, as a small light stopped directly in front of her and Joanne Hook. She looked again and saw that it was a little fairy.
"Hey Tazmin." said Joanne. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in Neverland?"
The fairy started telling the whole story, about the Waterfall of Ages, and that Peter Pan was still in the forest.
Joanne seemed to understand it all, though Raven only heard bells jingling.
"Sorry Raven, it looks like our project needs to be done another time. I need to help my family." Joanne said.
Raven stood up. "Let me help." She said.
"It can be dangerous." Tazmin said to the purple-haired girl in front of her.
"I'm sorry, but I can't understand fairiesh."
"She said it can be dangerous." Joanne translated.
"Don't worry. I've survived Wonderland. This will be easy." Raven told her partner.
Joanne thought for a moment and said: "C'mon then, we must go to the woods. Taz said that Peter is still in there."
Raven looked around the library and spotted her friend Cerise Hood. "Let's ask Cerise to help us find him."
The three of them went up to the girl with the red hood. Cerise looked up and saw the three of them standing before her. "Hey Raven, Joanne." She greeted.
"Are you busy Cerise?" Joanne asked.
"Not really, why?"
"Will you help us find a friend in the woods? He is new here and doesn't know the way around here." Raven asked.
"Sure." said Cerise. "Do you have anything that belongs to him?"
""He's still covered in fairydust." Tazmin answered. Cerise looked in confusing, and Joanne quickly translated.
Tazmin proceeded to give Cerise a little of her fairydust, and Cerise started sniffing.
"This way." she said, as she hurried out of the library. Raven, Joanne and Tazmin followed her into the woods.
"Ooh, there's Apple and Jess Darling ."
"Uhum."
"Oops, sorry dad."
Apple White was standing near the woods with Jess Darling, daughter of John Darling, searching for samples to use in their assignment for professor Rumpelstiltskin, when Raven Queen, Joanne Hook, Cerise Hood and Tazmin Bell ran past them.
"Hey Raven!" Apple shouted to her roomie. "Where are you guys going?"
"l'll tell you later Apple." The girl said quickly, as she followed her friends.
"Was it just me, or did you see a fairy flying with them?" Jess asked her lab partner. "Blonde hair and a mintgreen dress?" Apple asked.
"Yes." Jess nodded. "How did you see that so quickly?"
"I've got an eye for spotting small creatures." Apple said.
Jess took off her glasses to clean them. "That's an useful talent. It's better than having glasses."
Apple realized what she had said and said: "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to spot with you, with my eye thing."
"Don't worry about it." Jess said smiling, as she put her glasses back on. "Blonde hair and a mintgreen dress you said right?"
"Yes." Said Apple.
"That must have been Tazmin Bell, daughter of Tinker Bell. I wonder what she's doing here?" Jess said aloud.
"Wait, did you say Tinker Bell? The famous fairy?" Apple asked in wonder.
"Yeah, why?"
"She has a daughter? I thought fairies couldn't get any children?"
"They can't. But people can." Jess said.
"Will you explain it, I'm confused."
"Fairies are born from a baby's first laugh. Tinkerbell was born from my mother, Wendy Darling. Years later, when my brother Will laughed for the first time, another fairy was created. Tink once told me that, when Tazmin came to the shores of Neverland, she looked almost the same as Tinkerbell, except for her eyes. And when they checked up on Tazmin wings, they found out that her wings and the ones from Tinker Bell, were almost identical, except for a spiral on Tazmin's wings, just at the top. Tinker Bell adopted Tazmin, as she found so many similarities with her, that she felt responsible."
"I get it." Apple said slowly.
"Shall we continue our assignment?" Jess asked. "I'm sure Tazmin, Raven and the others will be back soon, probably with Peter Pan."
"Okay." Apple agreed and the two of them started searching again for the ingredients needed for their assignment.
Apple was still a little worried about Raven, but she pushed that thought away, thinking back at how strong Raven is and that nothing ever could hurt her friend.
Jess was a little jealous. It looked like there was some sort of problem, or otherwise, Tazmin wouldn't have never come to Ever After High. And instead of asking her, or one of her brothers for help, she went to Joanne Hook! Joanne sighed and continued her searching, trying to forget about the whole ordeal.
"Ooh, next time, we'll go into the Woods and find something really interesting."
"Brooke…"
"Oops, sorry! But I did it right for the whole chapter."
"I'm glad you did honey, it goes better and better every time."
"Thanks mom. I'll do even better next time."
"That's my little narrator."
