Neverland's Angel

Chapter 12

The stars glittered around the hide out and the boys began to settle into their beds but all of them seemed way to pumped to go to sleep. "Alright, alright boys! Settle down! If you don't get SOME shut eye, you won't have any energy to anything fun tomorrow!" "But we're having too much fun!" said Slightly as he hung from a root."Yeah! We're too excited to sleep!" cried the twins. "Well that may be true, but if you don't get any sleep, you won't get to fight pirates and find treasure and go on crazy adventures because you'll be too tired!" Emily explained. "But Emily, we couldn't go to sleep even if we tried! We just aren't tired!" said Cubby. "You could tell us a story." Nibs suggested."Uh, well, I could, but I'm not a very good story teller. I mean I can when the inspiration hits me. But otherwise I'm not very good at that particular thing… um, but I can sing for you if you want." She replied. The boys looked at each other. She saw something move off to her left and she looked to see Peter looking very curious. The boy decided that her singing to them would be okay. They climbed into their beds and got settled in. Tootles came over to her and climbed in her lap. She absent-mindedly  played with his hair as she thought of which song she should sing. Then the perfect one came to her. It was her favorite one. Peter walked over and sat down carefully next to her. She turned and smiled up at him and began to sing. "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"

Tootles began to nod his head and his eyelids began to droop. She smiled and rested his head again her chest.

"Twinkle, twinkle little star

So I'll know where you are

Gleaming in the skies above

Lead me to the land I dream of"

She looked over at Peter who was smiling dreamily. She looked at the rest of the boys. They had pretty much the same faces.

"And when our journey is through

Each time we say "Goodnight"

We'll thank the little star that shines

The second from the right"

As she finished her song. The only one left awake was Peter, the rest of the boys were now snoring away. She wanted to laugh but she knew if she did, she'd wake them up. She gently placed Tootles in his bed. "Emily, that was amazing! I didn't know you could sing." Peter whispered, astonished. She smiled and turned to him. "Yeah, I took voice lessons for a few years. I Honestly didn't think I did THAT good." She said as she scratched the back of my head. He took my hands in  between his fingertips. She blushed. "You were incredible, Emily. I'm glad you're here. The boys really seem to like you. All the boys." he said as he blushed as well. Her blush deepened and she gave him a heartwarming smile.
