Neverland: The Most Wonderful Adventure

Chapter Nine

The sun began to sink into the west and the stars began to litter the sky. They flew back to 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!" Cassandra explained."But Cassandra, 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 or you if you want." she replied. The boys looked at each other. she saw Peter looking very curious. The boys decided that her singing to them would be okay. They climbed into their beds and got settled in. Tootles went over to them and climbed in Peter's lap. She absent-mindedly played with a strand of his bold red hair as she thought of which song she should sing. Then the perfect one came to her. It was from her favorite song . Peter sat down in his chair. She turned and smiled at him and began to sing. "Whenever I was frightened or ever felt alone
I turned to the night sky at a star I call my own
Somewhere I could run to, just across the Milky Way
If you like, I could take you
It's just a lightyear and a day

We can sail away tonight on a sea of pure moonlight
We can navigate the stars to bring us back home
In a place so far away
We'll be young, that's how we'll stay
Every wish is our command
When we find ourselves in Never, Neverland

Through all my make believe, there's some reality
In your reflection there's much more than you see, yeah!
All that you hope for, you hope for today
It's the love someone gives you in an unconditional way

We can sail away tonight on a sea of pure moonlight
We can navigate the stars to bring us back home
In a place so far away
We'll be young, that's how we'll stay
Every wish is our command
When we find ourselves in Never, Neverland

Picture a land you'll never have seen
Where life is eternal and evergreen
Future of happiness all in your hands
All in this place I created that I call Neverland

We can sail away tonight on a sea of pure moonlight
We can navigate the stars to bring us back home
In a place so far away
We'll be young, that's how we'll stay
And with your hand in my hand
I am closer now to finding Neverland
And with your hand in my hand
I am closer now to finding Neverland" As she finished the song, the only one left awake was Peter, the rest of the boys were now snoring away. She wanted to laugh but knew if she did, she'd wake them up. She watched Peter gently placed Tootles in his bed. " Cassandra, 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." Cassandra said as she scratched the back of her head. He took her hands in between his forefinger and thumb. She blushed. Again. "You were incredible, Cassandra. I'm glad you're here. The boys really seem to like you. All the boys." he said as he blushed as well. She smiled, feeling more at home by the second.
