The adventures of Sappy and Skyler featuring Peter Pan

Chapter 15 The heart of Neverland (part one)

Sappy woke up and found that she was still in Peter's hideout. She let out a yawn and stretched her arms. Then she remembered she had fled the Jolly Roger with Peter and Tink.

She stepped out of her chamber to be greeted by Tinkerbell. "Good morning miss Sappy, are you ready to journey with Peter and the boys today?"

Sappy could still feel the warm flicker in her heart. "How do you know that I'm the key to the heart of the island, Tink," she said "this is ridiculous."

"Good morning Sappy," Peter said coming up from behind her. "Did you have a good night's rest last night?"

"I slept very well last night," said Sappy "thanks for helping me out, Peter."

"No problem," Peter smiled "are you ready to journey with me and the boys today?"

"Honestly no I'm not ready," said Sappy " and what is the heart of the island Peter?"

"I can take you to the heart of the island," Peter smiled "I know Neverland from the back of my hand and I love exploring when it's early."

"I'm an earlyriser too Peter," said Sappy softly with a sparkle in her eye "why don't you give me a tour of the island?"

Peter's eyes twinkled back at Sappy "Well what are you waiting for come on!" He swept her up into the air with him while flying off the forest floor. Sappy held onto him as he took her to a cave deep in the Neverpeaks. Tinkerbell was with him and the glow of her light lit up the passage way enough for Peter and Sappy to see. "Where are we Peter?" asked Sappy

"Stay behind me Sappy," said Peter "and follow Tink." Sappy cautiously followed Peter and Tinkerbell down the dark passage way into the cave until the path split into two. One path went left and the other went right.

Tinkerbell decided to go right with Peter and Sappy following behind her. The path opened up to a room filled with glowing crystals. Sappy and Peter were amazed and in the center of the room was a crystal stand with a velvet pillow on top of it.

Sappy went up to the stand and saw a crystal shaped heart that fit in the size of her palm. She gently picked it up to look at it. "Peter I think I found it."

Peter flew over to Sappy and looked at the heart that was in her palm. "You should keep it," he said "and don't worry, we'll outsmart the pirates and get you home."

Sappy smiled at Peter and held the crystal close to her chest. "I guess I'll keep it," she said. "Shouldn't we head back."
