When Peter Meets Alice

source : Pinterest

“When are you going to stop reading that awful book, Peter?”

“What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be fishing with the others?”

“They won’t let me do the fishing, they said I’m to slow”

“Oh come on, Tootles, you know what to do”

“Why won’t you read me the books?”

“I can’t. I am not Wendy”

“and Jane?”

Peter nods silently, still with his nose stuck in the book.

It was just another morning in Neverland, where every single thing is living in peace, especially after the disappearance of Captain hook and his pirates. No more kidnapping, lost child, and other misfortune that caused by hook’s entity. Like the usual morning routine, Peter was having his own quality time reading books. After that meeting with Wendy’s daughter years ago, Peter get to spend some time with Wendy. She gave him books about the world outside of Neverland, where people grew up and have families. Every now and then, Peter try to read the books in his own time inside his very own reading cocoon. He reads varities of books started from children’s classic fairytale to the complex world’s atlas. Everything that Peter learned from the book, he tried to share it with the lost boys. However, he would never let the lost boys touch his precious collections because 1) it was Wendy’s , 2) they can’t read, and he’s not good at storytelling. Therefore, he prefers his own time reading at his own pace without Tootles, who is now sluggishly laying down, bothering him of course.

“I’m bored”, Tootles exhaled and glance over Peter, trying to catch his attention with his tired-sad expression.

“Then go find Tink”, said Peter flipping the page

“She haven’t visited Neverland again since that time when you need pixie dust to fly Jolly Roger, remember? I guess she’s having fun with her pixie friends”

In ignorance, Peter silently nodded again.

“If only we can visit Wendy and Jane… can we do that sometime?” , Tootles asked in excitement, leaning in to Peter.

“The jolly roger is still in a good shape, Peter. All we need is a faith, trust and pixie–”

“They don’t live there anymore”, Peter snapped with his eyes glanced over Tootles.

Tootles’ eyes widened in surprise

“You’re joking right?”, asked Tootles

Peter exhaled and closed his book, looking right to Tootles.

“Look, Tootles, we can’t visit them, they’re grown up already, they have their own lives and maybe they don’t live there anymore”

“But–”

“Now go fishing with the others, tell Slightly, They should let you try because i told them to. Understand?”

Tootles rolled up to a seating position and exhaled a deep breath.

“Ugh, Fine. But we need new activities, Peter. It’s getting–”

“Mundane?”, asked Peter trying to complete Tootles sentence.

“What’s that mean?”, Tootles looked clueless

“I read in the book. It means having to do the same thing over and over agian”

“You’re getting smarter, it’s unfair”

“I’ll teach you guys someday. Now go find the others and tell them what i said”

Without saying anything, Tootles walked away sluggishly with his head lowered. Peter surely could tell that Tootles didn’t want to join the others, but he needed to be involved. He can’t be left out forever. After Tootles left, Peter flipped the many pages of the history book, which is now talking about the background of World War I. Just about when he started to get serious whilst tracing the words one by one and reading them aloud. He heard an unfamiliar sound from afar. Alerted, he got up and instantly flew to the top of his cocoon, with his palm right on the back of his right ear.

Curious, Peter travelled around the air to the source of the voice which is now started to sound clearer. He flew to the east side of Neverland, a deep woods with tall grasses and trees, where the animals of Neverland gathered. He set his feet on a big rock and tried his best to sharpen his ear.

“Wendy?”, he shouted instantly

Peter got off from the rock and moved closer to source of the voice that he assumed to be a girl. Unexpectedly, a little deer darted across the trail next to him. Still being alerted, Peter attended to the corner where the deer darted off. He began to hear the disembodied soft voice clearly.

“Oh dearly deer, wait!”

Peter can now see a shadow from afar, surprisingly it was running too. As it gets closer, Peter now realized it was a shadow of a girl. He blinked his eyes several times in confusion.

“Oh!”

In a split second, Peter was just 5 inches away to Alice, the girl with a soft silvery voice, like Wendy. Alice was very surprised as she closed her mouth with both of her hands. Unlike Alice, Peter cautiously leaned back and planted his foot away from Alice.

Peter looked flabbergasted to see a girl in Neverland with blue eyes like Wendy’s. However with much shorter posture, longer and shinier hair. But at least she was not wearing her night dress.

“I beg your pardon, I didn’t mean to scare away your deer, sir. I am just trying to ask him something”, Alice apologized as she leaned closer to Peter.

They were staring at each other for seconds. Peter was still astonished to find a lost human being in Neverland. He wondered how this small blonde haired girl found Neverland without Hook running after her. He questioned a lot of things in his head, without saying a word in response to Alice. Due to the fact that he’s a little bit unsure whether Alice is an innocent lost girl or is this another Hook’s way to trick him.

“Oh dear, can you talk?”, Asked Alice politely. Now she looked a little bit concerned cause Peter was not responding. Instead, he was fixing his gaze on her.

Alice cleared her throat and wiped off the dust on her dress as she said

“I’m sorry sir, well actually i am looking for the white rabbit. I don’t have much time. Goodb–”

Peter blocked Alice as she tried to stepped away from Peter.

“A white rabbit? you’re trying to find an animal?”, Peter blurted in confusion. He couldn’t believe that this girl was trying to find an animal in the woods of Neverland.

Alice nodded. Without even asking, she explained.

“You see, sir. I need to find the white rabbit because he brought me here and he’ll show me the way. But sadly he went too fast and i can’t keep up”

“What way? And why are you calling me Sir?”

“I beg your pardon. I don’t know your name, Sir. I’m Alice. I am here for the white rabbit. Now will you excuse me, i don’t have much time”

“Wait Alice, do you have any idea of where you are now?”, asked Peter.

“Yes sir. The wonderland”

Peter couldn’t help himself but laughed out loud with his hands on his stomach. Alice furrowed her eye brows and annoyed with his laughter.

“Well excuse me, It was nice meeting you, Good bye”, Alice tried to bowed down even though she felt really annoyed to the fact that Peter won’t stop laughing. Thus, She decided to walk away without looking back.

“Don’t be a silly-willy Alice, that peculiar creature is just making fun of you. He won’t even talk to you properly, just like the deer. Now go find Mr .Rabbit before you get into trouble”, mumbled Alice to herself. Little did she know, that Peter is very sensitive to sound. Thus, he can hear her mumbling even from afar.

Alice went around the woods without knowing where to go. She is very sure that she’s in Wonderland, the land of her own where she’ll meet talking animals and plants.

Peter on the other hand, watched her from afar still questioning why is she’s here and why she’s mistaken Neverland with Wonderland. He assumed that she might not even know about the bedtime story of Peter Pan. However, Peter decided to get to know her because he knew that this girl would never survived in Neverland without him and the lost boys.

“Where you think you’re goin, miss?”, Peter surprised Alice by surprisingly appeared upside down in the air, just right in front of her face.

“Oh my goodnes!!”, Alice’s jaw dropped open. She’s completely shocked to see a silly-willy flying creature blocking her way in front of her.

“You.. can…fly?”

“Look Alice, there are important things that you need to know and remember”, said Peter whose now stood up with his both arms on his hip. Alice looked at Peter with a questioned look, even though she was purely being skeptical to things he’s about to say

“One, You don’t know where you’re going because this is not Wonderland you keep mentioning about. Two, no white rabbit to show you any way. And three, you won’t be able to survive here without me and my boys, Miss Alice. So, you’d better come with me and talk about this”

“Thank you, Sir. I–”

“Just call me Peter Pan. I’m not a grown up”

“Fine. Peter. I appreciate your noble concerns, but i think that does not make any sense! In a world of my own, there are talking flowers and animals in the woods. Actually i never imagined a flying creature like you will exist, but oh well, I still need to find Mr. Rabbit”

“In a world of What?”

“The world of my own. That’s what Wonderland is”

Peter laughed hard again, this time without his feet touching the ground. He thought that this Alice girl was totally dreaming or just plain weird. Peter’s grating laughter made Alice felt really annoyed. She growled at Peter and stomped her feet away; leaving him behind.

“Don’t look back Alice, just leave that silly creature. Find Mr. Rabbit, and you’ll be fine”, mumbled Alice while simultaneously trying to catch her breath.

“I’m following you”

Alice was again surprised to see Peter flying on top of her head beneath the tall trees. She tried to ignore Peter by walking straight without even bothering him.

“As you please, Silly”, mumbled Alice in a low tone.

“I have a question for you, Miss mumbly jumbly”, said Peter whose now walking behind Alice. Alice tried her best not to looked surprised or even interested to the flying and walking creature with leafy costume.

“My name is Alice!”, she cried out in annoyance.

“If you’re so sure that you are in the world of your own. Why can’t you find a way out of this woods? besides why are you looking for the rabbit? you should have known where he’s at”

That question made Alice think again. She slowed her pace and turned her back to Peter.

“Listen. In wonderland, there is no right way. You need to be curiouser and curiouser. The Cheshire cat once told me that it is okay to not know where i’m going, because any road will take me there. And yes, of course i know where Mr. Rabbit are, he’s on his way to the queen of hearts…OH!!!” Alice paused in a sudden, she looked as if she just recollected her memory then she smiled at Peter. Peter looked at Alice in confusion, he tried to looked away because she looked like she’s about to plead for something.

“Peter Pan, could you please show me the way to the Queen’s castle?”

“What are you talking about?”, Peter squint his eyes and scratched his head in perplexity.

Peter was now very confused of this Alice girl that is so unlike the other girls he have met. Moreover, the girls who had been here knows completely where they were. Alice keeps talking about things that have never existed in Neverland, and she could not accept the fact that she’s been wrong all along.

“The queen of hearts! Don’t you know? Everybody must know her. She has these massive army of cards! and–”

“You’re not in the world of your own, Alice. You’re in Neverland”, Peter firmly remarked.

Alice paused for a second and mooned at Peter with a questioned look on her face. She tried to examined Peter by letting him talk about this so-called Neverland.

“I can show you Neverland and take you out of this woods too, only if you come with me”

Peter laid out his hands for Alice to hold. He thought if he can show Alice that this is not the world of her own, she would stop her nonsense chatter and be a normal girl instead. Alice spent sometime switching her sight to Peter and his hands.

“Well, if you must”, Alice agreed. She gave out her hand to Peter even though she is still unsure about what he said and what he’ll do.

“Great. I heard you’re not afraid of heights”, In a split second, without even bother to wait for Alice’s response, Peter yanked Alice to his back and stepped out of the ground to the open air.

Alice was screaming to the top of her lungs when she realized that she was up in the air and the only way to survive is to clasped her small hands to Peter’s shoulder. Conversely, Peter was giggling in excitement.

“Where will you take me? Are we gonna come down?”, Alice started to sound tremulous as Peter noticed that her grip is getting tensed.

“Not until i show you every inch of Neverland”, Peter assured.

Just shortly after, Alice was flabbergasted by the view of Neverland from above. A small island surrounded by tall green trees and green grass. She never looked at Wonderland from afar before, and she was somewhat sure that it probably looked like this.

Peter remembered the moment when he took Wendy and Jane around Neverland, so he took Alice to see the same things that he have shown to both Wendy and Jane. They were floating in the air to see the flying fishes across the sea, the rainbows, the jolly roger and of course, the mermaid lagoon. In between Alice’s jibber-jabber, Peter tried to tell the story of how Hook invade this island and how many times Peter tried to save Neverland.

“Oh Peter, are those talking mermaids? Is that the place where they live?”

“It’s the mermaid lagoon. and i think you’d better meet them in person, they’re not really friendly to new girls, but they’re quite nice”

“Oh my, they’re really pretty, even from afar. They should be lovely”, said Alice in excitement.

Peter and Alice flew in to the Mermaid Lagoon. Just before they arrived, the mermaids were all waving to Peter whilst calling his name flirtatiously. Alice felt welcomed by the mermaids, so she smiled widely and waved her hands to them. Just when Peter and Alice approached the mermaid who were now gathered on the big rock, Lyla the orange hair mermaid snapped at them.

“Peter! Another girl in her night dress huh?”

“My name is Alice”, Alice bowed down politely.

“Is bowing down a thing now?”, giggled Mary, the blonde mermaid. The other mermaid giggled too, some of them splashing the water to Alice, some of them examining Alice in disgust.

Alice thought they were joking, so she laughed with them until Tyra discreetly soaked her with a shell-full of seawater.

“Welcome to Neverland”, Tyra chortled.

The mermaid burst out laughing and left an unpleasant feeling to Alice.

“Oh dear! That was not nice!”, said Alice, trying to dry out her dress by squeezing them.

“Alice, that is their way to be playful. Don’t you worry”, Peter assured.

“Why are you here, blondie?”, asked one of the mermaid

“I’m looking for the white rabbit. He’s on his way to meet the queen of hearts. I beg your pardon, but have you seen him anywhere?”, asked Alice politely.

Hearing that, Peter put his palm on his face and exhaled. He can’t believe that after all this time, Alice was very sure that she’s in the world of her own.

The mermaid spent sometime exchanging their looks then they again, burst out laughing even harder. All of a sudden, the mermaid lagoon filled with the shrill noise of laughters. Alice was very irritated, she folded her arms around her chest and looked at the mermaid furiously.

“I’m not even joking!”, yelled Alice with a scowl on her face.

“She’s really weird!! I can’t even stop laughing!”, chortled Lyla with her eyes closed.

“When are you going to get a normal girl, Peter?”

“Yeah Peter, like us!”

“Girls with two feet are all weird!”

In ignorance, Peter yanked Alice to his back and they came floating again in the air, leaving the chortling mermaids behind. Peter can surely felt how angry Alice was right now and how talkative she’ll become afterward.

“They were unbelievably rude, Peter. Seems to me, they could learn about manners! Besides, the creatures in Wonderland shouldn’t be rude. They should be friendly and talked to me like ‘Yes Ms. Alice’ and they should also be helpful, I–”

“I’ve told you, Ms. Alice, this is not Wonderland, and I’ve told you they’re not really friendly to the new girl”, explained Peter.

“I know. Having said that, they reminded me of the mean singing-flowers. I’ve been soaked with water too you know, and boy, nobody saved me! Those singing flowers said I’m a weed! However, without getting soaked, I won’t be able to find the blue caterpillar and Mr. White rabbit!”

Alice’s on going chatter muted Peter. He didn’t say a word, simply because he didn’t know what to say as he could not imagine any creature that she’d mentioned in Wonderland. Thus, he still assumed that Alice is dreaming.

“I guess you should save your stories to the boys”, suggested Peter

“What boys?”, asked Alice. Actually, she’s not that familiar with boys, since she is surrounded with her sisters at home. In fact, Peter Pan is her very first boy-friend.

“The lost boys. We’re heading home”

“Are they friendly?”, Alice would not stand to face another mean creature.

“They’ll love your story”, said Peter.

With that in mind, Alice rested her head on Peter’s shoulder and smiled with the spark in her eyes, hoping that she will finally meet a normal creature whom she can make friends with.

Alice was blown to the fact that the lost boys were a bunch of peculiar human being who chose to call her ‘Mother’. They were unstoppable, talkative and full of anticipation. She could not handle the boys whose now running and jumping around whilst chattering to each other and to Alice. She was also surprised to see that Peter didn’t do anything about it, he was lying on his hammock with his hands behind his head with his eyes shut.

“So you like to have a tea party?”, asked Slightly who is now seated on the floor.

“Tell us about it, Mother!”, the twin also gathered on the floor next to Slightly, lying on their stomach.

“Yeah we’d like to have some tea!”, Tootles demanded while crawling to sit on Alice’s lap.

“Well, I only have tea party on my birthday. But English people drinks tea almost everyday”, stated Alice who is now brushing Tootles’s skunk tail with her fingers.

“What’s a birthday?”, asked Cubby

” A birthday is the day when you’re born. You’ll grow up because your age is added by one”, stated Alice whilst brushing Tootles’s skunk tail with her fingers.

“Grow up??”, The twin jolted in disgust.

“EWWWW!!!”, The lost boys muttered at the same time.

“We don’t like growing up, but we still want to have a party”, said Tootles.

“Oh well, of course you can. We can eat, drink, dance and sing at the party. It will be a lot of fun”, cheered Alice. She subsequently tell her story about the mad tea party that she had in Wonderland to the lost boys.

Peter on the other hand listening to Alice by the rocking hammock. Even though he don’t really understand most of Alice’s story, he admitted that he’s happy to see the boys found their Mother again.

The night at Peter Pan and The lost boys hideout turned out to be a warm and intimate night where Alice, The lost boys and Peter Pan himself gathered and exchange stories. Alice enjoyed talking to the Lost Boys because she can share her stories about her world as much as she like. She was also delighted finally get to feel what it’s like to have a brother or be friends with boys. Later that night, after the boys fell asleep to Alice’s lullaby, she went outside to see Peter Pan who was playing with his flute, lying on the ground.

“Hey Peter, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?”, asked Alice in concerned

“Nope. You can sleep on my hammock”, suggested Peter

“Well then, I would like to say thank you to you”, said Alice as she sat next to him and casted a big smile.

“I like the lost boys! They’re lovely. I feel like i’m having fun with my brothers that i never have! They are peculiar but they’re so nice”,

Peter now could tell that Alice starting to like Neverland. She has to be.

“You do? That’s nice. I’m sure they like you too”, said Peter.

“And i like you too, Peter!”, snapped Alice. Her voice sounded a bit tauted, she could feel her cheeks burned.

“O–kay”, Peter nodded without looking at Alice, as he noticed that his body turned tense. He could not believe that Alice would say that such thing.

“And I think I’m gonna stop looking for the white rabbit. I came to realize that you’re right. This is not a world of my own, thus I’ve made a decision”, Alice’s voice was firm and bold. It made Peter to become a bit nervous for the things she’s about to say. Alice glared at Peter and cleared her throat.

“I don’t want to grow up either” She then took a deep inhalation,

“Can i stay here forever?”

In that moment, Peter smiled widely and jumped on his feet.

“Welcome to Neverland! I shall now pronounce you ‘The Lost Girl!'”

Alice jumped on her feet too and hugged Peter with joy. She then muttered thank you again to Peter’s ear. Concurrently, Peter wrapped his arm around Alice and said,

“You’re very welcome, Ms. Alice”

Peter woke up to a terrible news. His hammock was empty, there was even no sign of Alice sleeping on it last night. Alice went missing. The lost boys were very devastated because they just had a wonderful night together, they were all looking forward to the next day for an adventure with the curious Alice.

Alice has promised them to have a tea party and teach them to sing. The thing that came across Peter’s mind is only Hook. This must be Hook’s trick, he kidnapped Alice as a revenge to Peter, as per usual. He couldn’t be more sure of it.

“Boys! listen up”, Peter announced as he whistled to gather the boys.

“As you may have noticed, Alice is missing this morning. I need you guys to help me find her. So we need to team up”

“Will she be okay?”, asked Tootles who seemed to be worried.

“We’re in!”, shouted the Twin

“I need to fix my slingshot, but i’m in!”, prompted Slightly

“Cubby to the rescue!”, said Cubby raising his hand as he tried to got on to his feet.

“I’m ready!”, shouted Nibs

“Terrific! Now, i am so sure that this Hook’s attempt to trick us. He might kidnapped Alice last night. Having said that, he’s on a revenge which of course to kill me. I need two of you guys to help me protect our Hideout with whatever you can do. I need two of you to help me find Tink because we need the pixie dust, and I need one of you to go the north hill and watch out for any sign of Hook. If something happened to any of you guys, you sure know what to do. Right?”

“Blow the whistle!!”, the little tootles shouted out loud.

“Correct! Now, Slightly is in charge for all of this. But i want Slightly, to let Tootles involved, am I correct?”

“Sir yes sir!”, yelled Slightly

Without a fuss, Peter left the hideout and soar to the air to find Alice. He sharpened all of his senses to make it easier for him to find her. Peter was really furious because Hook ruined everything again, it seems like Hook never ceased to ruin his and the lost boy’s happiness.

“What a spiteful Codfish Hook, he always sticks his nose in my business”, mumbled Peter with his eyes glaring to every inch of the Neverland. He could hear the mermaids were grooming each other whilst talking about the other mermaids, he could hear the silent snores of the bears in the woods, the happily joyful chirping birds, the hissing sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and the tinkling chimes of..

“Tinkerbell!”

The sparkly Tinkerbell winged her way right towards Peter and greeted him with her hand gesture. Peter can see the happy grin on her face when Peter grabbed Tink onto his palm.

“It’s been ages, Tink. There’s too many things i’d like to tell you”, said Peter. Tinkerbell nodded and clapped her hands, which made Peter wonder.

“What? You know all of my stories? How?”, asked Peter.

Tinkerbell laughed with her hands on her stomach

“You know everything? and you’ve met who? The girl? You mean Alice?”

Tinkerbell nodded again

“She’s not with Hook?”

Tinkerbell shook her head and made a gesture with her pointer. She drew a circle with her pointer, insisting Peter to turn around.

“Boo!!”

Just before his eyes, Peter was again just 5 inches away from Alice who was now floating in the air by her own. Looking at Alice whose still looked fine and healthy, he was relieved that she’s not being kidnapped by Hook. He also surprised to the fact that he’s been being so concerned.

“Oh Peter, i didn’t know that all i need is faith, trust and pixie dust to fly! Tinkerbell is amazing!”, chortled Alice.

“How do you know all that? I never mentioned– wait what? You can talk to Tinkerbell?”

Alice nodded with Tinkerbell whose now sitting on her shoulder.

“I could not believe it, Peter. I can speak to fairies, and i must say, Tinkerbell is really nice. She told me all of the things about you!”, giggled Alice.

“Oh come on Tink”, said Peter irritated.

“We were exchanging stories all night long! Tink loved the story of my adventure in Wonderland”, excites Alice

“So you didn’t sleep on my hammock?”

“I keep wondering about this place, I can’t sleep”, explained Alice.

“But Peter, we were flying across the island this morning and we found something suspicious inside the cave”, mentioned Alice. Tinkerbell nodded and she made a gesture with her fingers to Peter. Peter watched carefully as he tried to make sense of her gesture.

“The cave where Jane and the lost boys found the treasure box? What? A tent?”, asked Peter squinting his eyes.

“We haven’t got into the tent, but Tinkerbell said it’s better for you to go there and take a look what’s inside”, suggested Alice.

“Alright. Let’s go!–”

“I’m not coming with you, Peter. I’ve promised the boys to teach them to sing today. Besides, Tinkerbell wants to join the fun too, right Tink?”, said Alice with her dazzling bug-eyed.

“But I need you to come with me, you too, Tink. We’ll be back to the Hideout right after” said Peter as he hold on to Alice’s hand.

Looking at her hand on his grip, Alice could sense another adventure awaited her in Neverland.

“As you please, Peter Pan”, she said.

A lavish maroon with a hint of purple colored tent neatly located inside the cave. It looked as if someone has been decorating the tent with warm lighted lantern and sparkly decorations. However, there’s no sign of someone’s have been living there. The tent looked like it was made of a bent woods covered with maroon and dark purple blankets. The three of them went inside the tent to observe the things that was neatly decorated. Peter found things that he have never seen before, things that he did not know ever existed.

“What kind of tent is this?”, asked Peter

“I’ve seen this kind of thing before, I think I’ve read it in my sister’s book. Something to do with witchcraft”, said Alice trying to recall her memory.

“What’s a witchcraft?”,

“Someone who can do magic. it’s an art of supposedly invoking supernatural powers to influence anything. Like waking someone from the dead!”, explained Alice with her eyes widened and her voice lowered.

“You’re using smart words too much. I don’t get it”, said Peter scratching the top of his head.

“Is there a witch in Neverland?”

“I don’t even know what ‘Witch’ is”, answered Peter.

Just as they spend more time inside the tent with Alice explaining about what she knew about witchcraft or magic and mentioning about gaze ball and broomstick, Peter heard a noise from afar. A voice of people chattering.

“Shhhh!”, hushed Peter towards the chattering Alice whose trying to explained Witchcraft to Tinkerbell.

“I heard something. You two better stay here, okay? I’ll take a look from above”, said Peter.

“Oh Peter, is it dangerous?”

“I bet it’s not”

Peter winged his way to the clouds on top of the ocean, further away from Neverland. Again, he heard a familiar voice on a boat. Since it was a cloudy day, Peter can’t really see whose talking. He squinted his eyes, focusing his sight and sharpened all of his senses again.

He heard a loud husky voice and a slightly low wobbly voice. Peter can surely tell that both of them were men as they both chortled with evil laughters. Gradually, the sight of these men were starting to came clear from Peter’s blurry view.

Peter could not believe what he saw.

It’s Captain Hook and Mr. Smee, and they no longer dressed as a Pirate. They both dressed up with a maroon headband on their head, big earrings and necklaces. Peter were not really sure what kind of costume were they wearing.

Peter growled and rolled his eyes to the fact that these people were back. He then noticed something that is not right. Hook and Smee were carrying a body, wrapped with a blanket. A body of girl.

“It’s never been this easy, Smee”

“Yes c-c-captain. It’s the best way indeed”

“It sure is Smee. Pan would of course miss playing games with me”

“Yes captain. This will be the best revenge”

“Ah.. I’m so glad I’ve met that nasty witch. Without her spell, i would never been able to kidnap these girls from their sweet dreams”

Smee nodded in agreement

“That girl in blue dress must already woke up by now. She’ll be gone and Pan will look out for her, foolishly thinking that she’s kidnapped by me! Hahahahaha”, Hook burst out laughing, followed by the giggling Smee.

“Ohh Paaaan! Here’s another bait for youu!”, called out Hook jokingly.

Peter did not understand at all. He spent sometime to make sense of their chatter. By the time he solved all of his confusion, he realized it was too late to hurried back to the tent.

“Oh no… Alice!”, he cried.

Alice could not believe that she’s been sleeping in the tent. She was a bit furious to the fact that Peter did not even wake her up.

She slowly opened her eyelids and she shook her head to clear out her blurry eyesight.

“Oh dear, how can i be so slee—”

Alice blinked several times and look around. She was sleeping under the tree just right next to the field of daisies. She was not in Neverland nor Wonderland. She’s at home at night-time. Perplexed, Alice noticed that she’s been sleeping all along.

“Not again, silly Alice”, she shook hear head and rested her face on her palm.

Alice didn’t even felt like dreaming, because it all felt surreal. She took a deep breath and heavily exhaled by looking up to the night sky, smiling. There, she saw the second star to the right and straight on till morning, blinks at her.

The end.
