Even Lost Boys Are Found

Chapter 6

I stood there in the dark as Peter looked at me. I smiled and he smiled back. We were talking without words, but it was meaningful. He hugged me and started to cry. His tears almost glowed. They were bottled up for over four thousand years. They were warm and lovely. "I love you so much. I thought we weren't going to get out of there." He came out of the hug. 

"I- I love you too, Peter." He pressed his forehead against mine and smiled. He laughed as though as he was reading my mine. Everything was going slowly, as if it had stopped just for us. The little lights that seemed unnoticeable were shinning. They were lovely. He was lovely. Everything was just lovely. We didn't talk for a while and just, sat down and looked at the lights. They seemed innocent and beautiful, like they never questioned the well being of life. It was amazing. I took my head off of his shoulder. He scrunched up his nose and put his arm around me. It was quiet, but you can here the way  everything molded together. It was amazing

We both stood up, it was around ten o'clock. He kissed me on my fore head. I tried to reject this. I love him. I love him very much, but loving him wasn't an option. Being his friend was, he has to stay with his boys. It wasn't a choice. He looked at me. "Whats wrong?" 

I heard foot steps. I hitch opened, and out came a tiny, little red-head, Sarah. "Oh, Peter? Is that you? I was missing you! The boys were as well." She separated us and gave Peter a hug. She glared at me over his shoulder. Peter gave her an awkward hug back. She let go of him. "Well, I'm sure you two are tired and hungry. Lets go inside." She led us inside of the tree. 

Peter and I sat next to each other, while Sarah sat on the other side and sipped tea out of an oversized mug. He moved his hand slowly to mine. I looked over at him and blushed a little bit. Sarah mumbled something, and Peter responded. "Yeah, it was terrifying. Nitya saved me. She saved all of Neverland." 

"I just said I had to go to the bathroom... It wasn't that hard, pirates aren't very bright."

 Sarah laughed. "Maybe we can go to lunch with the mermaids tomorrow to celebrate. The girls would love to meet you!" I wasn't used to having her be this nice to me. Maybe she didn't feel threatened near me... 

"Oh, thank you! I'd love to come." Who knows what would happen, maybe they were nice.

 Peter got up, "Well, thank you ladies. Good night." 

"Good night, Peter.", we whispered. The three of us walked off to bed and closed our eyes.

It was near afternoon, once again. 11 o'clock, everyone was already up, and I was, yet again, the girl who slept in. "Good morning, Nitya!", everyone shrieked yet again. It was cute, Peter smiled at the silly boys. 

Sarah took my hand and sat me down. "The girls can't wait for you." I forgot all about the girls, "You'll need to know there names. The read heads, Star, she's kind of stupid. There's the twins, Wave and Sand, they are madly in love with the Indian boys who visit the island. Oh! Splash is a loner. She was washed up about three weeks ago on the shore south of Neverland, her tail's all ripped up. And there's the babies, Swim and Flutter, It's some kids who live with the mermaids. Swim's a mermaid, and Flutter's a fairy, there cute, but you don't talk to them." 

"Now some rules," Wait that wasn't it? "Don't wear blue, they will think its intentional. Oh, ask Tinkerbell for some wishing dust, her little boyfriend should have some. When you get there, jump in the water and pour it on you, works better when your wet. Wear a seashell top, you have one?" I shook my head, "Here I'll get you one." 

As she was sifting through her her drawers, Peter leaned in, "Don't talk about me.", he winked "Darling, she's not kidding. Be safe around them." 

She tossed a bathing suit at me. "Now go ask Tink's boyfriend." She shoved me. 

Think had a separate corner of the tree, a whole section to herself. She had a tiny door that only fairies can fit into. I knocked on the tiny door. A little bell rung and the door opened. It was a boy, he flew up and sat on my shoulder, Tinkerbell followed him out. "Why hello there, I was wondering if you had any wishing dust?" He raised his hand with a "eureka" kind-of-look. Think started to rattle, I never thought I would have an enraged fairy on my shoulder. I never thought I would think that sentence. Anyways, he gave me a beautiful silk pouch that had the words "Terrance's Dust", it had tiny bells on the string. I thanked the fairy and he went back inside, holding hands with Tinkerbell.

"Lets go. Come on!" She grabbed me by the wrist and tugged me and the picnic basket over to the cove.
