Payton got to the museum at 5:30, the time the museum closes. She walked through the front door and walked up to the desk, "Hey Mike," the guard smiled at her,

"Here for the usual?'' Payton nodded her head, the guard pressed some buttons on his computer before reaching under his desk for something, Mike pulled out a sketch pad and pencil pouch, "There you go, and it's all set for you," He handed her her drawing supplies, "Just remember," he starts and Payton smiled,

"Don't touch anything else," She said with him, "I know Mike," She started walking away,

"Just makin' sure," he chuckled and Payton rolled her eyes playfully. She walked up to the Neverland room on the 2nd floor. The room was filled with many things from Neverland but Payton was interested in only one thing, the hand mirror that was on display in the corner of the room. She picked up the mirror carefully and sat on the window seat near the display. Payton looked at her reflection in the mirror,

"Let me see Peter Pan in Neverland," Payton said clearly. The picture in the mirror rippled before showing a boy that could be a few years older than Payton, with the same red hair and green eyes as her, "Hi dad," Payton said calmly,

"Payton! Good to see you too. You barely ever call these days," Her dad smiled cheekily,

"Well I have something called school and homework dad. It's not like I can call you from my room,"

"I still don't get why the mirror has to stay in the museum but oh well. So how's it going in Auradon kiddo? How's soon-to-be-king Ben?"

"Well, Ben made his first decision as king, today,"

"Really? What was it?"

"Well he wanted to give the children of the Isle a chance at a normal life on Auradon since they aren't like their parents,"

Peter almost spit out his drink, "He's letting children from the Isle of the Lost come to Auradon?" Payton nodded, "How many? Is Hook's kid there?" He asked, concerned.

"Dad, it's ok. Ben let four kids from the Isle come to Auradon Prep. Their parents are Jafar, Evil Queen, Cruella DeVil, and Maleficent,"

"MALEFICENT? But she's the worst villain out there," Peter exclaimed.

"Their kids aren't that bad, I've met them. I had to give them the tour," Payton smiled.

"Hmm maybe. Anyway, how's the boyfriend?"

Payton's heart dropped, "Chad dumped me earlier today, I knew he was going to do it sooner or later,"

"Eh, Prince Charming isn't the greatest either. I'm glad you didn't meet him," Peter chuckled,

"So how are things going at home? How's Tink?" Payton said excitedly,

"PETER! IS THAT PAYTON I HEAR ON THE PHONE?" The unmistakable voice of Tinkerbell yelled at Peter,

Peter laughed, "Tink's fine, lost boys are too. We all miss you though,"

Tinkerbell appeared on the screen, "Payton! Ah! Hi, how are you?"

"I'm great Tink. I wish you guys were here though," Payton said sadly,

"YOU DIDN'T TELL HER?" Tinkerbell yelled at Payton's dad,

"Tell her what—oh yeah! We've got big news to tell you Pay,"

Payton sat up straighter, "What?"

"Tink and I are going to be at Ben's coronation, we'll be able to see you then," Peter said excitedly,
