Jolly Rodger

The whole time we were aboard the Jolly Rodger, during the final battle nearing the end of my trip, I felt as though my life could be taken away from me at any moment. I had to tell a story of Peter Pan to the crew. It was all very nerve racking because Captain Hook had his hook to my throat, threatening to cut if said any wrong words. But Hook still forced me to walk the plank. Thankfully, Peter was there to catch me and we flew back on board to fight those pirates. Somehow amidst the chaos Peter fell to the ground and seemed defeated. Hook punctured Peter's head, and he fell to the deck. I broke free of the pirate that had me and grabbed Hook's hand that was set to kill. The captain threw me down next to Peter and silenced the crew so I could speak. It was then that I gave Peter my thimble which gave him the strength to defeat Captain James Hook once and for all, sending him into the stomach of the crocodile. All survived and cheery to start upon our return home.

Tinkerbell's Loyalty Leads to Death

Hook had poisoned Peter! Tinkerbell after escaping the clutches of Captain James Hook, returns to Peter and drinks the poisoned drink for him, even though she knows she could die. Tinkerbell's light starts to fade and eventually go out completely. Tink put her life down for Peter even though he had banished her.

Fighting in the Black Castle

My first real fight! How exciting! Of course frightful, at times, but to think that all my stories were coming true! The one time I was completely frightened was when I fought the first pirate. He had taken his shotgun and shot my sword down to just its handle. At first, I thought I was shot! I was unsure what to do then, so I threw the handle at him knocking him down into the water. I am quite proud of myself.

Land of the Fairies

The land of the fairies was truly beautiful! After the ceremony at the Indian camp, Peter led me to this place and we saw the glorious fairies all gather in the trunk of a tree. In the middle of the group of banished fairies were two especially gracefully fairies dancing. Peter took my hand and stepped out into the woods, with the high, vibrant, green, leaf plants. We began to dance and fly through the air. It was a magical feeling! Together we flew and danced higher and higher, the moon was full, the fairies were dancing around us, and the way Peter was looking into my eyes made the moment feel so magical in that truly gorgeous place in Neverland.

The Black Castle

Oh my, the Black Castle is an evil and horrid place. Peter and I had to venture there to save John, Michael and Princess Tiger Lily. It is, as the name implies, a very black and dark, damp and dreary castle. As we dear closer to it, you could feel the foreboding sense that this castle enclosed. A feeling of death and misery. Peter and I landed on a cold, deteriorating, brick ledge were he taught me to fight. It did not ease my worries that there was a iron gate, half off its hinges, as an entry way to the castle. Once Peter had given me the signal, I went in to fight. Immediately I saw the stone statues of terrifying dragons and skeletons of past victims. Luckily, the fight was quick and quite easy; we escaped in the stolen boat to continue to the Indian camp of Princess Tiger Lily.

Lost Boys' Home

When I awoke, I found myself in a little home, made from twigs and leaves. Outside the door, there were six small boys, known as the lost boys. I agreed to be their mother, and they whisked me off, blindfolded of all things, to a oddly enormous tree. As it turns out this tree was their home, and inside was a huge assortment of roots and dirt, to make up rooms and beds. It was quite lovely, for the boys, that is. The size of this place was exhilarating! Especially to think that this was all underground in the roots of old tree. The lost boys and Peter were right at home though you could tell, for they played around and ran about, teasing one another. It was magnificent and I was happy to call this my new home, for the time being that is.
