Peter Pan lied on the ground, but his hands behind his head, and looked to the sky, "You can never grow up here." He heard a little chime and smiled, "That's why it's called Neverland, right Tink?" The little blonde fairy nodded as she joined him on the ground. It's been so long since Peter has seen any outsiders and to him, playing "Cat and Mouse" with Hook has been fun but years and years of jesting and insulting the captain and gaining victory every time has simmered down to a medium temperature. In Neverland, you're trapped in time.
In Neverland, you are always doing the same thing everyday. Even if there's nothing new to do, the most important thing about Neverland is that you can never grow up. The reason why Captain Hook and his crew are grownups plagued Peter. He always wondered how Hook was a grownup in Neverland because here in Neverland, no one grows up. Everyday he sat in his den of the hideout; wondering how Hook could be a man when you never grew up in Neverland.
"Maybe he found Neverland from afar," Peter said to himself, "but how does an outsider know of this paradise?" Peter grew angry, "My paradise," he turned to Tinkerbell, "it's my paradise!" Tinkerbell hid behind a cloth.
"Mr. Smee," Captain Hook caught the short man's attention with a modulated voice. The short white-haired man looked up to Hook,
"Yes Captain?" Mr. Smee waited for an answer from the man he served without question. The man noticed Captain Hook's face grow red with anger,
"How do I defeat that little-" Hook and Smee looked up in the sky to see Peter flying,
"Miss me?" Hook yelled to Peter,
"I have had enough of you, boy!" Peter flew to the ship with Tinkerbell by his side. Before he could land, Hook drew his sword, hoping to swing at Peter. "Ever since you cut off my hand and fed it to the vile crocodile, it's been following me and I could receive no peace!" Hook and Peter's steel weapons clinked and clashed when lightning flashed and thunder struck.
"Serves you best!" Peter yelled after Hook, flying the pace he was backing. Peter had Hook right where he wanted him. The boy flew behind Hook and held his dagger to Hook's neck, "Any last words?"
"I, Captain James Hook," Hook began as he drummed his fingers on his hook, "am regretful about how I spent my time here in Neverland." Hook looked to the night sky, "I suppose this is no way for me to spend my life." Mr Smee looked his captain in the eyes,
"You can't go Captain." Hook looked at Smee twirling his hat in his hands and tearing eyes.
"Don't be so sad, Smee." Hook said smiling, "It's better than suffering from what feels like a lifetime of fighting with a little kid."
With that, Hook accepted a fate he could have had a long time ago. The sound of flesh tearing and accompanied by a thump to the wooden floor of the ship satisfied Peter and broke Hook's crew. Tinkerbell never saw Peter do anything like this before causing her to flee back to the hideout. Peter grabbed Hook by his jacket and threw in the water. Smee ran to the side of the ship,
"No! Captain!" Smee looked at the water with tears in his eyes knowing that the man he served was gone. He held the rim of the ship as he saw eyes above the water fearing the crocodile was going to take Hook. Smee's fear came true as when the crocodile left, so did a trail of blood behind him. Smee was on his knees now, crying even more, "Rest in peace Captain James Hook."
