All children grow up...
Except one.
Except one.
Across the London rooftops we follow, a shadow flies past as we look into a nursery window with a young girl telling a story to her two younger brothers.
"Cinderella flew through the air, far from all things ugly and ordinary. And when she landed at the ball she found herself most impertinently surrounded by pirates! There was Alf Mason; so ugly his mother sold him for a bottle of Muscat. Bill Jukes, every inch of him tattooed. And the cruelest of them all, Hook! With eyes as blue as forget-me-nots, save when he claws your belly with the iron hook he he has instead of a right hand. At which point, his eyes turned red." said Wendy
”Girlie, we have come for ye glass slippers!” Yelled John as he pointed the wooden sword at Wendy.
"Who be you to order me about and call me ‘girlie’?” replied a rather offended Wendy.
The children begin to fight with their swords as a ball of light flutters outside the window illuminating two shinning eyes. NANA, the children’s nurse runs to the window and begins to bark. The children take note and give up their game of pirates to run to the window to see what the fuss is. They open the window and look out there is nothing there but the rooftops and the flickering lamps of London down below.

The night on which the extordinary adventures of these children may be said to have begun was the night Nana barked at the window. But there was nothing there, not a bird or a leaf. So the children forgot about it, for what troubles a grown up will never trouble a child.

Lets pretend. Pretend that Peter had been unsuccessful when he tried to kill Hook the second time around. He never received the thimble, but he did escape. Lets pretend that Wendy and her brothers never returned from Nevreland, that they stayed with Peter and the Lost Boys. after all, she had agreed to be their mother did she not? for but moment, let us all pretend that now, Neverland faces new dangers, as well as it's old ones. Hook is not the only rouge pirate on the seas of Neverland.
close your eyes and jump into Neverland for, from the other side of the island comes new adventure. New romance. Just as likely as unlikely. New things creep about on a side of the island that nobody as been to before. Jump in and join the adventure as Peter, Wendy, and hook discover things they didn't think existed as they continue their seemingly everlasting battle to triumph over the other.
Close yours eyes and think happy thoughts. whatever they may be to you, just think them. Take the adventure into your own hands.
