CHAPTER ONE: PAN

"It's pixie dust!"

"You call this stuff pixie dust? My dad calls it something else..."

"It...it's not the same. This pixie dust is magical! You can fly! You can come with me to Neverland, where you'll never grow old, and I'll give you all the cake and pizza in the whole world."

"Ooh, can it be chocolate cake? I never get to eat chocolate cake. Well, I don't get to eat any cake, except that one time in school when Betty's mom brought cupcakes for her birthday. Do cupcakes count as cakes?"

"Definitely. And don't worry, I'll give you all the chocolate cake in the entire world. I'll teach you how to fly, and then you won't even have to worry about all the locks on the door, or hiding at night, or about anyone trying to hurt you! Except Captain Hook, but don't worry, the Boys and I will keep you safe."

"But what about my mom? I don't want her to be scared, either."

"I can only take one person at a time, kiddo. But I'll drop you off in Neverland first, and then I'll come back and get your mom, okay?"

"And you promise you won't tell my dad?"

"I promise."
