Ollie's P.O.V.

Once we were completely covered with pixie dust, nothing happened. "Aren't we supposed to be flying by now?" Asked Rachael. "Now, Rachael, think happy thoughts." Said Peter. "Yeah, all you need is faith, trust, and pixie dust." Said Megan. "You catch on quick, Megan!" Peter said with a smile.

In a matter of minutes, we all started to rise off the ground. You know what that means? We're flying!!! "Hey, we're not touching the ground anymore!" Said Murray excitedly. "We can fly!" Said Melanie. "That's right, Melanie! You can fly!" Said Peter! "We can fly!!!" We all said together.

"Come on, everybody, here we gooooooooo!! Off to Neverland!!!" Peter said. We all flew through the sky and followed Peter as we heard a very fitting song help us along the way.

Think of a Wonderful thought
Any merry little thought
Think of Christmas, think of snow
Think of sleigh bells Here off you go!
Like a reindeer in the sky
You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly!

Think of the happiest things
It's the same as having wings
Take the path that Moon beams make
If the moon is still awake
You'll see him wink his eye
You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly!

Up you go with a high and a ho
To the stars beyond the blue
There's a Neverland waiting for you
Where all your happy dreams come true
Every dream that you dream will come true

When there's a smile in your heart there's no better time to start
Think of all the joy you'll find when you leave the world behind
And bid your cares goodbye
You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly! You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!

When there's a smile in your heart there's no better time to start
Think of all the joy you'll find when you leave the world behind
And bid your cares goodbye
You can fly! You can fly!
You can fly! You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!

We've been flying for what seemed like all day, and the sky has already turned dark. Peter flies over to me and points to a star. "There it is, Ollie! Second star to the right, and straight on til morning!" He said. "I remember it well!" I said. I began to sing afterwards.

The second star to the right
Shines in the night for you
To tell you that the dreams you plan
Really can come true

The second star to the right
Shines with a light that's rare
And if it's Never Land you need
It's light will lead you there

Twinkle, twinkle little star
So we'll know where you are
Gleaming in the skies above
Lead us to the land we dream of

And when our journey is through
Each time we say "Goodnight"
We'll thank the little star that shines
The second from the right

"Keep flying straight, everyone! We're almost there!" Said Peter. We did what he told us to do as we were getting close to our destination.

Paul's P.O.V.

After sleeping for what felt like forever, I finally woke up. I looked out the window and noticed it was already dark! Gosh, I didn't realize I've been sleeping all day! I guess all that performing knocked out more of my energy than usual!

Anyway, I got out of bed and got out of my pajamas, even though I might have to put them on again later. The next thing I did was go to check on my daughter. As soon as I made it downstairs, I saw her in the arms of my sister in-law, Katie.

"Katie! What are you doing here, where's Ollie?" I asked. "She asked me to look after Esther, and I don't know where she went off to. She did say she was going out." Said Katie. "Wait, Ollie's not here?! And she didn't think to tell me?!?!" I asked in shock. "Paul, relax! She said you were still sleeping, so I guarantee she didn't wanna wake you up." Katie said. "That's true, but still!" I said.

At one point, I started to feel a pain in my chest. I clutched it and fell to my knees. "Oh dear! Paul, what's the matter?!" Asked Katie worriedly. She puts Esther in her high chair and bends down to my level. "My... my sweet Ollie! I wanna see her!" I said as I was on the brink of tears. "You're not having a heart attack, are you?" Katie asked. She puts her hand on my back. "Ollie... my Ollie! I can't live without her!" I cried.

Three men with a dog approached us. "What's going on in here?" One asked. I looked up at them. "Who... who are you three?" I asked. "That's Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke. They're farmhands from Kansas, and they're visiting." Said Katie.

The little dog walks up to me. "Who's the dog?" I asked. "Toto. He belongs to our friend, Dorothy." Said Hunk. "Unfortunately, Dorothy was kidnapped a little while ago." Said Zeke. "Ollie must've gone out to save her! I have to follow my wife!" I said as I stood up.

But before I could reach the door, I fell back down to the floor. "Paul, it's probably best for you to stay here and rest." Katie said. "But..." I said. Katie puts her finger up to my lips. "No buts, you can't go on like this." She said. "She's right, lad. If you continue to work yourself up, you might pass out from exhaustion." Said Hickory.

Even though I wanted to object, I eventually gave in and agreed. I may wanna see my wife, but they're right. I can't work myself up, or I'll pass out.
