My fractured fairy tale: Peter Pan

Peter Pan

Once upon a time there was a magic kingdom called Neverland in the second star to the right, flying up to the dawn. This magic kingdom was populated by a boy called Peter Pan, by dangerous pirates as Captain Wilson and some of his followers like Mr. Scott, by magic mermaids, by the lost boys and by a magic, crazy and funny little fairy called Bellflower. In this magic kingdom the children never grow up. 

Far away from this place in a city known as London, Caroline and her two little brothers called Gus and Josep lived in a little house covered by snow because a cold winter was beginning. They lived with their parents Mr and Mrs Darling who were happy married and in a good economical situation and their dog called Nana. Every night Mrs Darling told her children about Peter Pan’s stories and adventures, he was a brave guy who liked living adventures with the lost boys of Neverland. They fought against Captain Wilson the other evil pirates. They were amazed about Peter Pan, he was their heroin and icon, they believed in all his stories and in all the magic which was hided in the kingdom of Neverland. 

One night Mr and Mrs Darling had to come to a party, so Caroline, Gus and Josep had to stay alone in their house with Nana who took care of them. Caroline was very tired and sleepy so she decided to stop reading her favorite book which treated about Peter Pan’s adventures and turned out the lights. She already was falling down in the dream when suddenly she headed a crackle proceeding from the big window of the room that she was sharing with her two brothers. Rapidly she opened her eyes and she saw a shadow of a boy who looked like Peter Pan and a little sheen flying over him. She could observe better, the boy wore a green costume and a little green hat at the top of his head, he had ears of elf and a evil smile but at the same time friendly. 

-Who are you?-asked the mysterious boy.

-My name is Caroline, Caroline Darling

-Nice to meet you Caroline, I am Peter Pan the king of Neverland, a magic place which you never grow up and you fight against evil pirates who try to kill you. 

-Are you real? Are you Peter Pan?- asked Caroline.

-Don’t you see me? I am right here Why shouldn’t I be real?

-Oh, I cannot believe, I have read all about your adventures. I am so glad to meet you, but you have to leave you will wake up my brothers-said Caroline.

 But it was too late, Josep and Gus have headed all the conversation and they stared to scream: "Peter Pan!", "I cannot believe it", "You are real". 

-Do you want to join me and go to Neverland?-asked Peter Pan to them. 

-We can't, we have a family here and so many important people who will miss us, it is impossible. 

-Nothing is impossible, in Neverland there aren't parents who tell you want to do every minute, you can do what you want to do. 

-Bellflower! Where are you little fairy?-screamed Peter Pan.

Suddenly a little light appeared over their heads. 

-Sprinkle them with your magic dust!-ordered Peter Pan to the little Fairy. 

Suddenly a magic dust of gold color was covering all their bodies. Caroline feet weren't touching the ground, she was getting up and up increasingly. 

-Let's go!- screamed Peter Pan from the window. 

Views of the city were incredible, they flew over the Big Ben and the London Eye, until they arrived to the second star to the right, flying up to the dawn. 

Caroline couldn't believe what surrounded her. There was a little Island in the middle of a big Ocean, in the island there were five hight mountains which surrounded a big lake with paradise waterfalls. There were mermaids having a bathing in the sea with their large tail and braids adorned with wild and beautiful flowers while they were singing a song with their  mesmerizing vocals. 

They arrived to a little cottage into the woods in where they met the lost boys of Neverland: Maison, Lucas, Buddy, Nicolas and Debbie. There were so kingly and friendly, they wore strange costumes symbolizing animals as bears, foxes, weasels...

Together walked through this beautiful kingdom, they met a wild tribe who were very friendly and shared with them food and company. They flew over every corner of this magical place. Caroline and Peter Pan were becoming very good friends, but both were falling in love. The lost boys told them a lot of new stories about their adventures with Peter Pan against the evil Captain Wilson. 

One day Caroline wake up early to pick flowers, because she wanted to do a crown for Peter Pan as a memory, because she missed her family and thought that it was time to go home. But suddenly, someone caught her. She woke up in a big Pirate ship, she was tied and she couldn't move to escape from there. 

-Who we have here?-asked a man who had a long black beard and wore a big hat with a feather at the top. He had a hook in his left arm. 

-Who are you? What do you want? Let me go please!-cried Caroline. 

-No today! I will kill you if you don't say to me where is Peter Pan. 

-I don't know who is that guy, you caught the wrong person!

-Don't lie to me stupid girl, who do you think I am?

-Leave her!-screamed Peter Pan. 

-Help! Help!-screamed Caroline. 

Peter Pan, Josep and Gus and lost boys were flying over the ship ready to fight. After a great battle, Peter Pan rescued Caroline from the pirate ship and he finished with Captain Wilson and the rest of pirates. They went back to the cottage and Caroline said to Peter that she and her brothers should go back home, Peter refused her and said that they could live here with him in Neverland and with the lost boys, but he didn't convince her. Caroline missed her parents and Nana, her little dog. 

-Don't leave this place, don't leave me!-cried Peter Pan. 

-I have to, sorry Peter-said Caroline with tears in her face.

-I love you!, I am in love with you since I met you!-said Peter Pan.

-So, go with us, go back with me to London and stay there, that is the only way to stay together forever. 

-I cannot leave lost boys, they are like my brothers-said Peter Pan. 

-Sorry Peter, it is late, we have to go-said Caroline. 

-Okay, I will go with you-said Peter Pan.

-What?-asked Caroline.

-My love for you is too hard, I cannot stay away for you, I want to stay there to save you and share with you my life. 

-But you will grow Peter-said Caroline.

-I know, but normal people grow up, that is the life, you get older and older each day-said Peter.

-So, what are you waiting for?-asked Caroline.

-Flowerbell, magic dust please!-screamed Peter Pan.

They flew back to London, they said goodbye to this magical kingdom, one last view of Neverland. Ten years later Peter and Caroline got married, they had children and they spent their life together until the last day of their lives.
