Ok...update once more. Oh, and I'm dedicating this to Edward. (My bf)
I'm sorry to say..(strikes dramatic pose) this is my final chapter for this story. Farewell all my readers...sniff. I'll miss you.
When you're the best of friends
Having so much fun together
You're not even aware, you're such a funny pair
You're the best of friends
Life's a happy game
You could clown around forever
Neither one of you sees, your natural boundaries
Life's one happy game
If only the world wouldn't get in the way
If only people would just let you play
They say you're both being fools
You're breaking all the rules
They can't understand your magic wonderland
Hu-hu-hu
When you're the best of friends
Sharing all that you discover
When that moment has passed, will that friendship last?
Who can say if there's a way?
Oh I hope . . . I hope it never ends 'Cause you're the best of friends
'Go home, and grow up.'
The hurtful words echoed in her mind, sending a fresh cascade of tears pouring down her face. Why had Sally said that? It hurt so bad, but she didn't know why.
'I have to go,' she thought. 'I just don't belong here.' But she knew that it was only in her mind. In reality, she wanted to stay forever. But, who could? And what would happen to Peter once she left? Apparently, when Wendy left, he stopped talking except to give orders and it snowed for weeks on end. The whole island almost stopped to exsist. 'But it got better,' she thought. 'Peter got better,' But what if that didn't happen this time? What if he stayed depressed?
'No, Peter could never stay depressed, he's got a special magic inside him.' she thought. 'But, what if...?'
"YO! VANESSA! GET DOWN FROM THERE! IT'S BILL JUKES'S TURN!"
Vanessa jumped and looked down. Italian Cecco was looking up at her. To his surprise, he saw that her eyes were puffy and red. She had been crying. Vanessa turned away from him and absentmindedly put her hand into her pocket. She pulled out the bag that had contained the fairy dust that had gotten Sally flying. It seemed so long ago that she had found out that she was wanted somewhere, here. She put her fingers into the bag and felt a warm tickling sensation. Surprised, she drew her fingers out. They were covered with a sparkling substance.
"Fairy dust..." she breathed in wonder. She suddenly pulled a picture of a smiling Peter into her mind's eye and began to float up. She turned her face to the warm rays of light that peeped over the horizon. She turned, and shot off like a rocket towards the underground house.
"Vanessa! You're alive!"
"No duh, I'm alive. Where's Peter?"
"Inside, but-"
"Don't but me boy. I need to see Peter."
"Ok..." he said, opening the tunnel and she threw herself down. She slid down the dark slide into the house under the tree. She tumbled out of the end of the chute and landed in a crumpled jumped up, and squealed with happiness. Jennifer leaped around with joy. All of the Lost Boys looked a little suspious. Shegot up, dusted herself off,smiled at Sally and Jennifer, then entered the room where Peter was mopeing around. He angerily looked up, a shout on his lips, but it died away when he saw who it was. He just looked at her as she entered the room and walked across and sat on his bed.
"I'm back," she said, looking him straight in the eye. He smiled, and she suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugging him like he was the last guy on earth. Peter began to hum a song that he couldn't quite remember the words to, but there it was in his head. Vanessa rested her head on his shoulder and they breathed in and out as one.
"I thought you wanted to go back home..." Peter said, looking at her oceanic blue eyes.
"I did, and I still do, but if you're gonna get depressed over it, I won't. So I was thinking, what if I just went back for a while? You know, just a visit? Then I could come back and go back and forth. You know, like two homes."
"Well, that's an idea, but what about Hook? He is your dad."
"I'll mostly live on the pirate ship, but sometimes I'll live here as well."
"But what about your loyalty? Where will it lie?"
"With whomever I'm living with at the moment."
"Wow...ok! But will you spend just one more day here? I mean, I wanna show you the rest of the island and stuff like that, and-"
"Peter! Let's go to my daddy's ship, so I can explain the situation to him."
"Of course." he said. She squealed and threw her arms around him. He was surprised, but then, he hugged her back. She let go and flashed him a giant smile, then raced to the open door.
"Wait!" Hook called after her. "Who will pick you up when you are done with your visit?"
She turned back to him, and winked. "Whoever can pick me up first." she then disappeared out onto the deck. Flamefox came out of the hold just as Vanessa shot up into the sky. Hook stepped out of his cabin and looked up at the rapidly shrinking figure. Flamefox hurried over to him.
"Is she runnin' away? What's goin' on?"
"She's going home for a few days. Then she's coming back to live here."
"Oh," Flamefox said, looking at the dot in the sky, which was suddenly joined by another dot!
"PETER!" she bellowed, swinging her pistol out of its holder only to be stopped by a restraining hook.
"But, sir, he's getting away..."
"I know, but I promised her that she could leave with whomever she decided. Since she came here with me, she's leaving with Peter. She said it was only fair." Flamefox growled and stomped off. She would have her revenge another day.
"What?" Jilline just turned and glared out of the window. Veronica shook her head and returned to her primping. Things had been rather tense since Vanessa left. Nobody was really hyper anymore and nobody really felt like laughing. With a sigh, Laurel entered, and heaved her newer bookbag onto her bed. Molly looked up from her book about Huckleberry Finn, which was what she was reading for school.
"So, what idiotic book did your teacher assign?"
Laurel sighed and pulled out a Lord of the Rings book. "This is gonna take me forever. I have to read all three! Is that unfair or what?"
"It's unfair." Veronica said, now painting her fingernails.
"And guess whos so totally excited about her assignment?" said Molly.
"Loony Dylans." everyone said together, then they all sighed. Just then, a girl with flaming orange hair, mellow gray eyes and so many freckles that she looked tan popped into the room and started doing cartwheels. She ended up on her bed which used to be Vanessa's, and began bouncing on it.
"DYLANS! CHILL! CALM DOWN!" Molly bellowed at the extremely hyper girl. Dylans chilled and just sat on her bed. She then pulled out her own copies of the three Lord of the Rings books and smiled at Laurel.
"Can't wait to read these, can you? Of course, it may take me awhile, but there hasn't been a book yet that I couldn't read cover to cover! And..."
Jilline groaned and stomped outside onto the balcony. Spring was in full swing and the trees in the back never looked prettier. But something was missing. Vanessa. She would have already climbed each and every single one to find out if during the winter somebody had planted a treasure in the branches or in one of the hollows. Jilline sighed and tears crept into her eyes. Why did she have to go? Vanessa had been kidnapped right off of this balcony along with Sally. All they had found the next morning was a cracked criket bat, and a sword of some sort.
Suddenly a boy popped up from below the balcony and said, "BOO!" She screamed and leaped backward, stumbling into the room. "Who are you?" she screamed at him.
He popped over the railing and entered the room, without touching the floor. All of the girls stared at his feet and then at his face. Dylans inched forward. He grinned at her.
"I'm Peter Pan!" he cried, then, he crowed.
"The crowing I heard in my dreamsthe night Vanessa vanished!" said Jilline, staring at Peter.
He grinned at her too and said, "Indroducing, the one the only, VANESSA!" Then Vanessa flew into the room. She was dressed in leaves and vines. Her hair was messy and it still had the reminants of her fairy adventure, meaning she had white highlights. She smiled at all of her friends.
"Hey," she said into the silence of the room. There was a few seconds of silence, then the whole room erupted with screams and squeals.
"YOU'RE BACK!"
"Where did you go?"
"Why'd ja go?"
"YOU"RE BACK!"
"Where'd ja get that groovy outfit?"
"What happened to your hair?"
"YOU"RE BACK!"
Vanessa smiled at Dylans. "Hey, I'm Vanessa, and I guess I've been away pretty long for them to give my bed away."
Dylans smiled and looked past her to Peter. "Are you the Peter Pan? What am I saying, of course you are! You're flying for crying out loud! I'm Dylans and can I go be a Lost girl with Jennifer and Sally?"
"How do ya know about them?" Peter asked, looking at her puzzled-like.
"Let's just say I had a dream." she said, smiling at Peter. Peter grinned back and grabbed her hands.
"Alright then, let's fly!"
"But I don't have any fairy dust!" she said, panicking.
"Do you trust me?" Peter said, looking her straight in the eyes.
"Yes," she said, letting him take her into the air. He smiled as Tinkerbell flew in the open window and sprayed her with the magic dust. Dylans smiled and launched herself into the air. Doing spins and loop-de-loops she shot out of the window, but Peter stayed behind to say good bye to Vanessa.
"Don't you forget about me," Vanessa cautioned. "Or I just might be on the pirates side."
"I wouldn't allow that to happen!" Peter said, giving her a quick hug. He smiled at her and flew through the open window. She ran to it, followed by all the girls. They watched as Peter and Dylans vanished into the black sky. Vanessa turned back to her friends, and gave them all a hug.
"I just can't believe you're home." Laurel said, wiping a tear from her eye.
"I'm not home," Vanessa said, looking back up at the sky. "Not really."
The End.
(Sweeping musical finale)
