Yo Ho, Let's Go!

Chapter 22

"There it is Peter!" Jake said as Hook's ship came into view. They held back, floating in the air.

"Well? What are you waiting for?" Peter asked Jake, who seemed to be thinking about something.

"Hmm...I need to think for a moment."

Several moments passed by. Peter was flying around with impatience and the lost boys followed his lead.

    Out of the corner of his eye, Jake saw shadows moving across the ground towards Hook's ship. He perked up, "Guys! We need to stop those pirates!" and pointed at the running shadows. Peter shouted orders to the lost boys. They were to fly as fast as they could to Shipwreck Beach and grab a net or an old sail from one of the aged pirates ships. The boys flew off, while Jake and Peter flew down towards the buccaneers. They cut the three pirates off, causing their sudden stop.

"Well, if it ain't the Captain's play toy." Said one of the pirates sarcastically. Peter frowned, "You mean MY play toy? Yea, I'm pretty sure that's what you meant."

The pirates scowled and turned towards Jake, "Captain Hook has kept your lass very busy on board. She's been doing all the work. Worn out, she is."

"Poor lass, she's taken sick too. Won't last much longer, says I."

Jake slightly grinned. How dumb did they think he was? He wasn't about to believe some silly pirate tale.

    All of the sudden, Peter gave out a cackling rooster crow and all the lost boys came out from the sky with a large, dirty net. It was thrown on top of the confused and startled pirates. The net was large enough to fit all three pirates, yet small enough for them to have no room to move around. The net was held down by weights, which would keep the pirates held just long enough for the group to rescue Izzy. With a laugh, the team re-sprinkled themselves with pixie dust and flew off towards the Jolly Roger.
