Prologue

Peter flew through the air while a boy with blonde hair ran after him. He stopped shortly and bent down to take a breath saying,

" Peter... wait, I need.... a break." Peter smiled looking down at his friend saying,

" Aww, come on Nigel, you can't give up that easily." 

" Easy for you to say, Peter. You can fly... how is it that you can fly?" Peter smiled and as he landed down in front of Nigel he said,

" My shadow. It gives me special powers, and one of them is flying!" He then jumped into the air spinning and laughing, not hearing Nigel say under his breath,

" Well, then I guess I'll just have to take his shadow from him." With that he continued running after Peter saying,

" Hey, wait for me!"

Chapter 1

Peter pan woke up early this morning, the sun was just shining above the horizon. 

" Ar, aroo, arooo!" Exclaimed Peter flying in the air. He watched as two boys who wore raccoon jumpers sat up rubbing their eyes and a boy wearing a rabbit jumper stretched, while a larger boy with a bear jumper lay still snoring next to the rabbit boy. 

" Time to wake up Lost boys!" Exclaimed Peter. The rabbit boy asked,

" Peter, why did you have to wake us up so early, i'm still tired from fighting the pirates." Peter laughed saying,

" Yes, Nibbs I'm sore too, but today I want to do something fun! Who's up for a prank on Jordan?" Immediately a boy wearing a fox jumper came hanging by his feet on the roots above saying,

" I am!" Then he dropped down and turned on his feet. Peter smiled and patted the boy on the head saying,

" That a'boy Slightly, hey, Nibbs mind waking Cubby up?" Nibbs stretched again as he yawned, saying,

" No problem." With that he started pushing on the larger boy who finally, rolled off the bed. Cubby woke up startled saying,

" Huh, uh... whats going on?" Peter gave a small chuckle and said,

" You slept like a hibernating bear again Cubby." Cubby smiled sleepily and said,

" Fine by me, I can do that." Nibbs who was fully awake got out of the wooden and fur bed saying,

" Ah, come on Cubby..." He went over to Cubby and started jumping on his stomach while he said,

" Get- up, get- up, get up..." Then with all his might he balanced on one foot while the other one beat down fast and hard on Cubby's stomach almost like a real rabbit. Cubby started to shakily sit up saying,

" Iiii'mmm, uuuupppp." Nibbs jumped off Cubby as Peter said,

" Attention!" Then all the lost boys including a young little skunk boy lined up in front of Peter. Peter then said,

" Alright boys, who's ready to go play a prank on Jordan!" All the lost boys cheered and it must have woken Tinkerbell up because the little gold, glowing fairy came out from behind a leaf pinned to the tree to block a hole that Tinkerbell had turned into her small bedroom. The little fairy gave multiple little bell jingles which Peter could understand, so he replied,

" Sorry, Tink. You can go back to bed." With that Tinkerbell flew back behind the leaf and went back to sleep. Peter then turned to the Lost boys and said,

" Alright, let's go have some fun with Jordan!" With that they all found their own way to exit the tree. 

                                            ******

Once they got to Akita's hut which Jordan was sleeping in, Peter quietly opened the door and looked inside to see both Jordan and Akita sleeping together on the bed. Peter looked around and saw both Akita and Jordan's boots neatly on the floor next to the bed. Peter smiled and said,

" Okay, now bring the glue." The Twins came waddling in with a large bucket of glue and a brush. They then put glue on the floor and sat the shoes back on the glue spot, making the shoes stick to the floor. Peter laughed and said,

" She'll never get them off." With that they turned to leave when suddenly the Twins hit a rock that was placed on the floor and immediately a net dropped on them from above. Peter tried to get the net off but him and the Twins were too tangled up, to even stand all the way up. Jordan rolled out of bed smiling down at Peter and said,

" You seriously didn't think I wouldn't be prepared for any pranks you might pull on me.Well think again mister, after listening to a few of the flyers talking about you having always been a prankster then I set up this trap." Peter gave a displeased look up at Jordan said,

" Ha,ha, now do you mind getting this off us?" Jordan pulled the net off them and heard Peter say,

" Well, I also came to ask if you wanted to go for an early morning fly?" Jordan gave an unconvinced smirk as she said,

" Mm, hmm... Since we just finished beating the pirates a couple nights ago, I think I'd go back to bed but on second thought... I'll come with you." With that Jordan got up and walked over to a dresser on the other side of the room. Peter looked confused as he gestured to the boots saying,

" Wait, where those boots yours?" Jordan smiled sneakily and said,

" Yes, but I always have extra's. Especially when you'r around." She eyed Peter suspiciously. Then she said,

" Alright, I'll call my dragon and we can head out." With that she made a quieter tongue rolling noise and suddenly from above came Jordan's baby silver scaled dragon named, Silversky. The little dragon climbed on Jordans back and Jordan said,

" Are we going or not?" Peter smiled sweetly and said,

" Yeah, come on." With that they walked out of the small house and once the door was closed they took off. Peter called back to the lost boys, saying,

" The prank failed, but don't worry we'll get her." Jordan narrowed her eyes and said,

" Don't even try, or I might just have Silversky stick a spike in you." With that the lost boys hid on the side of the house, their heads still peaking out. Peter laughed and Jordan joined in then together they flew away. 

                                     ******

They came to the ocean and together started to do flips and spins in the air together. At one point they flew above the pink clouds, hand in hand. Peter then turned and took hold of both of Jordan's hands and flew down head first pulling Jordan with him. He looked down and saw a water dragon coming to break the surface so when the dragon did he tossed Jordan over and letting her do a flip before opening up like a star. Peter looked down just in time to see the sea dragon open its mouth. Peter put his feet into the mouth but spread his legs so he blocked the dragons ability too close down easily. Suddenly when the dragon was able to close his mouth Peter saluted to Jordan and went flying straight into the air. As he did he could hear Jordan laughing. Suddenly as Peter continued to fly he saw a rock come into view he quickly tried to stop but he was going too fast. Suddenly he felt someone grab him and saw that Jordan had caught up to him. Just then Peter felt something else grab his foot and looked down to see a shadowy figure trying to pull him down. As he fought, with Jordan's help Peter had an idea,

" Have your dragon shine her scales in the sun it will break this shadowy thing!" With that Jordan said,

" Silversky?" Peter didn't need to look because he saw a blaze of sunlight shine through the shadow making him let go and cry in agony. Peter flew back with Jordan in surprise. Jordan then said,

" Wow! What was that...?" Peter narrowed his eyes and said,

" That was some weird shadow, and it looked like it came from there." He added pointing to a cave which water seemed to flow through. The cave ceiling was low that when they went in they had to duck down. They landed on the cool sand looking around. What Peter saw was a small hole in the rock shining bright sunlight on multiple rocks everywhere and on one side there was a pile of large rocks that looked like they had been piled then thrown in a different pile. A small ship lay slanted on another pile of rocks with pieces of it broken and part of it was in the water. As Peter continued to look around he said,

" I remember this place." He narrowed his eyes as Jordan asked,

" Well, what is it?" He looked back at Jordan sternly, saying,

" I had an old friend of mine, his name was Nigel. We were the best of friends but one day he went to explore and when he came back he came in the largest storm I have ever seen. I couldn't even fly into the sky in the wind. He crashed here and I tried to look for him through all these rocks for days... but..." He let his voice trail off and Jordan said,

" But, you never found him, did you?" Peter looked away and closed his eyes at the thought of his friend, gone from him. Then he got mad saying,

" Now, I think he's back and I don't think he's here to play." Jordan nodded and said,

" Don't worry we can keep a look out for more of those shadowy figures." Peter smiled sweetly and said,

" Thanks Jordan. Now let's get out of here before another one of those shadows come back." With that they flew away with Peter thinking, If you are here Nigel, I don't want to hurt you.

Chapter 2

Peter and Jordan continued to fly over the forest, laughing. Then they started flying back to dragon flyers territory. They stopped at the cliff with the large tree near it and sat on the edge looking up at the now bright blue sky. Peter sighed as Jordan said,

" Peter, thanks again for bringing me here. This definitely is a Fantasy that became a reality." Peter smiled and said,

" If you want too, you can come with us to have some fun with the Indians." Jordan eyed Peter suspiciously and said,

" I hope your sense of fun isn't another prank like you tried to do to me this morning." Peter shook his head smiling and saying,

" No, no, today is the day when the Indians came too Neverland. So, we are going to watch them do multiple different fun challenges and races with each other, and later tonight theirs going to be a feast and a bonfire dance. It is going to be so much fun." Jordan smiled and said,

" That does sound like fun, sure just when should I come?" Peter smiled and said, 

" Don't worry, I'll come get you. We need to get the best seats too so I'll bring you early." Jordan smiled and said,

" Okay, now why don't you go and see what Hook is up too, maybe he's forgotten about you." Peter smiled and said,

" I don't think anyone can forget about me, I'm too cool." Jordan laughed and waved while Peter waved back, watching her fly off towards the dragon flyer's village. Peter sighed looking in her direction. Suddenly Tink came up to him out of nowhere and Peter said,

" Oh, hi Tink... did you see that, man, Jordan is such a cool person." Tinkerbell narrowed her eyes and folded her arms. Peter noticed and said,

" Aw, come on Tink, you have to admit it, last night she was pretty cool." Tinkerbell gave multiple bell sounds and Peter said in reply,

" Yes, I know you helped but she was on fire, and even with out her dragon. I don't think I can be like her if I couldn't fly, speaking of which, let's fly over and get the lost boys so we can get some berries for a snack before the celebration." With that Peter flew off to the secret hideout. When Peter arrived he went down through the top of the weird shaped tree down a slide and landed on his feet. Peter then looked around saying,

" Attention!" Peter waited to hear cheers but heard nothing. He started looking around the tree but saw no one. He turned to Tink and asked,

" Tinkerbell, where are the Lost boys?" Tinkerbell shrugged and made more jingling noises. Peter said,

" Let's have a look around the forest. Then we can ask Jordan to help." Tinkerbell gave more jingling noises and Peter narrowed his eyes saying,

" Tink, she's not a bad person, now come on let's find the Lost boys." With that he flew back out of the tree with Tinkerbell following after, leaving a trail of gold dust behind her. They searched the forest and were about to go ask Jordan for help when Peter noticed something about the ocean water. The water looked black and shadowy. Peter flew down to it and almost immediately a shadowy tentacle came up from the black waters and reached to try and grab Peter. Peter dodged the tentacle and flew higher out of its reach. He turned to Tinkerbell and said,

" What is this?" Tinkerbell shrugged unsure of what it was either, then Peter said,

" Let's go get Jordan, so we can go to the Indian ceremony. We can talk to Tigerlilly and her dad about this." With that he flew away back to the dragon flyers. 

                                            ******

When he got to the dragon flyers he waited for Jordan by her home, or more specifically on the roof. Suddenly Peter heard Jordan's tongue rolling sound over by the place where Peter showed her the Silverstrike dragons. Peter started to fly towards it saying,

" Come on Tink, I have a hunch that she might be by the baby Silverstrikes." He caught Tink rolling her eyes as she fluttered after him. When they came to the cave that was on the side of a rocky hill they heard Jordan give out another tongue sound. Peter walked down the hall which was dimly lit by torches on the walls. He turned right and saw a room with nests made out of sticks and large leaves, as well as pine needles. Peter smiled at the sight of all the dragons that clung to Jordan. He then started laughing as she turned around with a dragon's foot squishing her cheeck. Jordan was not amused and she gave a loud high pitched tongue noise that echoed through the cave. The dragons all scatted till suddenly Peter stopped laughing when he felt the baby dragons piling on him. Jordan laughed and said,

" Wow, I never knew how funny I could look, but you sure look even funnier Peter with the face you'r making." Peter's mouth felt as if it was all over the place and squished in so many places. Jordan walked over and made another high pitched sound but she turned it into a calm rolling sound. The dragons flapped off Peter and began to walk towards their nests. Jordan smiled and said,

" Apparently if you go fishing and you smell like fish, then you'r going to get dragon loved." Peter gave a small chuckle and said,

 " So is that the stench I smelled." Jordan gave him an unamused look as she said,

" Ha, ha, ha... you'r so funny Peter. Just let me clean this fish stench off me before we go to the Indians." Peter smiled as she walked passed him and followed her saying,

" Well, you'r probably going to smell like smoke anyway since you'r going to be around a bonfire tonight." Jordan glanced behind her saying,

" I'd like to see what you look like after a long day of getting bitten and burned." Peter laughed and said,

" Probably better than you." They came to Jordan's house and before Jordan slipped behind the door she said,

" Oh, we'll see about that." Then she shut the door of her house. Peter flew up on the roof with Tinkerbell sitting next to him. Peter heard Tink give out a series of jingly noises and Peter said,

" Yes, of course I can trust her. She helped fight Captain Hook and stopped him from feeding me to a wild sea dragon, which reminds me, we still need to talk to Jordan about the black water." Just then Peter heard the door open and he looked down and saw Jordan in a gray dress with Silverstrike scales on the skirt and on her shoulder. A dragon claw necklace lay against her neck and her hair was put in a long braid. Peter gasped before diving down in front of Jordan, in surprise Jordan stepped back a little till she realized it was just Peter. Peter looked her up and down again till finally he said,

" Wow, you look amazing." Jordan smiled and said,

 " Thanks, I thought since tonight we'd be dancing I might wear something a little more formal, you know?" Peter smiled and said,

" Well, shall we?" He held his hand out to Jordan and Jordan took hold of it then together they flew to the Indian territory. As they flew over the ocean, Peter realized that Jordan was looking at the water, till finally she looked at him and asked,

" Umm, Peter whats wrong with the ocean?" Peter said,

" I actually meant to tell you that, I flew back to our hideout and the Lost boys were missing. We looked for them in the forest but couldn't find them. Thats when Tink and I saw the water like this." Jordan looked back down at the water then back at Peter, saying,

" Do you think this has to do with the shadow that grabbed your foot?" Peter looked down at the water thinking, Wait, this water is black because of the shadows, so what if.... 

" No."

" No, what?" Asked Jordan. Peter looked at her worriedly and said,

" Remember when I told you about Nigel, Well, he always liked to play hide and seek at night with his shadow friends while I slept. So what if that shadow we saw earlier was one of Nigel's shadow friends?" Jordan looked a little frightened as she said,

" So, you'r saying that Nigel might really be alive, after all this time?" 

" Well, in Neverland you don't grow up... so..." He let his voice trail off as they came back to the Indian prairies. Peter landed with Jordan and said,

" I think we should speak with Tigerlilly and the chief of the Indians about this." Jordan nodded and said,

" Let's go now before the ceremony starts." With that they ran over to the rocky steps that led up to a tent that was farther away from the rest of the camp. When they came to the tent Jordan said,

" Excuse, me, Chief? Are you here?" She stepped back as she heard shuffled footsteps coming closer. Instead of the chief, out came a red haired girl with a red and orange feather in the back of her hair. She wore a creme colored shirt with tasseled ends. the shirt continued into a tasseled end skirt, the girl also had red and blue stoned designed moccasins on her feet. A necklace with a red feather and red jewel lay on her neck, the girl said in a stern voice,

" My father is speaking to the spirits, so if you could please wait for him to finish." Peter spoke saying,

" Please, it's an emergency Tigerlilly. We need to speak to your father, now." Tigerlilly crossed her arms and said,

" What kind of emergency, Peter pan. It better not be a prank, like you did a couple weeks ago." Peter put his hands up saying,

" I swear that this is not a prank. Look, we were flying earlier this morning and a shadow came up and grabbed my leg. It came from a cave where Nigel shipwrecked. We didn't see anything else till I saw the water was black." 

" And the Lost boys are missing." Added Jordan. Tigerlilly looked at Peter and said,

" I don't know what this means, but I bet you my dad will. Come, we will speak to him at once." She opened the tent to Peter who walked in, he saw a small fire going in the middle with the smoke rising into the air and out of the hole at the top of the tent. A wooden table was behind an old man with long white hair. He wore similar clothing like Tigerlilly's and had his eyes closed with his hands on his crossed knees which also had tasseled end pants. Suddenly, Peter heard Tigerlilly say,

" No, Peter wished to speak to us, you will wait outside." Peter turned around and said,

" Wait, Tigerlilly, she's a friend. Remember, she helped save me from Captain Hook?" Tigerlilly's face changed from fierce to calm and surprised as she looked back at Jordan saying,

" That was you?" Jordan nodded and Tigerlilly stepped aside saying,

" I heard you were amazing, and you both gave Captain Hook the old Codfish name." Peter smiled and said,

" We sure did." Then they sat  down across the small fire from Tigerlilly who sat down next to her father. It only took a couple moments before the chief opened his eyes and said in a deep calm voice,

" Hello, Peter, and who is your new friend." Tigerlilly said sweetly,

" Dad, this is the one who saved Peter from Captain Hook a couple days ago." The chief said,

" Why, hello Jordan. I hope you are feeling well here, I have heard you come from a place called London, is that right?" Jordan nodded, before Peter said,

" Chief, we have a problem. Earlier this morning we were flying over the ocean and a shadow came and grabbed me. We figured it came from a cave, the cave that Nigel ship wrecked in. We looked but no one was there. Later today I noticed the water had turned black and some kind of shadowy tentacle tried to grab me again, do you know what this means?" The chief closed his eyes as he took multiple deep breathes in and out of his nose. Finally he reached beside him into a bowl of herbs and threw them into the fire. The fire gave a loud booming noise and then the fire turned a light light blue color. As the chief spoke a green and black figure formed in the flickering flames,

" You see Peter, it sounds like shadows are trying to capture you. You also mentioned your old friend Nigel, I think that this is his revenge." 

" Revenge? Peter, do you know what Nigel could want?" Peter looked at Jordan and shook his head saying,

" No, I don't." The chief continued saying,

" Nigel has become scared of the dark, and has sided with an ancient group of people, they called themselves the shadowies." 

" Huh, well thats original." Said Peter. The chief eyed Peter with one eye open, suspiciously,

" Nigel likes to attack at night, and would risk anything to get what he wants." 

" Do you know what he wants with Peter, and what about the black ocean?" Asked Jordan. The chief sighed and opened his eyes saying,

" The spirits can not tell me anymore. For it is time to start the ceremony." Peter and Jordan looked at each other worriedly as the chief and Tigerlilly stood up saying,

" Come Peter, you and Jordan can be our guest of honor since no one else has come." Peter and Jordan exchanged smiles and they all walked out of the tent. As they did Jordan must have saw Peter's sad face as she said,

" Peter, are you okay... whats wrong." Peter looked at her saying,

" It's just, it's kind of weird to think my best friend who I thought I had lost is back and wants revenge on me. I'm also worried for the lost boys, I don't know where they are at all." Jordan put a hand on his shoulder and said reassuringly,

" Well, we can put that aside for now, because tonight we are going to have some fun. Plus we are the guests of honor." She stopped Peter and looked at him saying,

" Just have a good time with me, okay?" Peter smiled sweetly and said,

" Okay... Come on let's get some good seats." With that Jordan hugged Peter, surprisingly and Peter finally felt relaxed for once that day. Then together they raced down to say hi to the other Indians. 

                                          ******

Finally the first contest started, it was archery and Tigerlilly won that contest with getting all six arrows in the middle. Next was a necklace making contest, a girl named Iesha won that one. The contests continued till the sun was finally going down and as the sky was turning a bright orange a few Indians brought out bowls of food such as water melon, corn, bread with butter and cakes as well as pies for desert. Peter sat next to Jordan on the blanket that was set out and as Jordan took a bite out of corn Peter said,

" You know, it does feel nice to forget about the past sometimes." Iesha must have overheard because she said,

" My dad always says, yesterday has gone, tomorrow is not yet come, so we focus on today." Peter smiled and Jordan said,

" Thats some good advice you'r dad gives Iesha." Peter nodded as the girl smiled brightly. They all ate their fill and once the bonfire had started the sky was now dark enough to light up their shadows. Everyone sat on logs around the fire as the chief stood up and stood in front of the fire saying,

" Tonight we have guests, Peter pan, a great flying friend and prankster." Peter looked at the chief in a joking way as he said,

" Hey." A couple of the Indians including Jordan laughed, then the chief continued saying,

" And, our new friend who has a way with dragons and is a warrior of silver scales and shurikans." Jordan looked at Peter, as he said,

" Hey, how come you get all the hero and warrior stuff?" Jordan laughed and said,

" I guess it's just a girl thing." With that the chief said,

" I announce the dance to begin!" With that he sat back down and surprisingly Jordan took Peters hand and pulled him up saying,

" Come on, I didn't come all the way here not to dance with you." Peter laughed and together they moved their feet to the sounds of the marimba made out of bones as well as maracas, tabla drums and bamboo flute-pipes. Peter took hold of Jordan and they hopped around and Peter let go of one hand making Jordan spin before pulling and then letting go. Peter, who had forgotten all of his worries was smiling brighter than ever. He patted his hands on his knees and then raced at Jordan, who did the same thing then together they did a cart wheel and then bending down again they patted their hands on their knees then stood back up bringing their feet together and clapped a couple of times to the beat before spreading their legs and patting their hands on their knees, till finally they came to each other again. Peter took hold of Jordans hands and together they spun around till then they let go and leaning at each other they extended out leg out while they extended the opposite arm out. They continued to dance as the crowd cheered happily. Suddenly, as they were still dancing the fire turned black and the music stopped as everyone gasped. Peter looked and saw a yellowish black face in the flames. He narrowed his eyes at the face as it said,

" Peter pan... Having fun are you?" Peter looked at the face recognizing it all too well as he answered sternly, saying,

" Nigel. What do you want?" The face of Nigel in the flames laughed and said,

" Oh, you never changed did you, well to answer your question I want the shadow that flies, if you know what I mean, and nothing will stop me from getting it." Peter narrowed his eyes at the face of Nigel when suddenly he heard Jordan say as she stepped forward next to Peter,

" No Nigel, what ever it is you want with Peter, you'r not going to get it because Peter has friends, unlike you." She added pointing to the flame. Nigel laughed and said,

" Ha, ha, ha. You have a girl friend already Peter, aww... how cute... but it still won't stop me from getting what I want, and I do have friends. So if you want to stop my wrath with kidnapping everyone you love, then I suggest you figure this riddle out. When night shines all day, and the rock tide is low, theirs little water but a big storm. Good luck, Peter pan." With that the fire smoked again and turned back to its original color. Peter just stared at the flickering flames as Jordan said,

" He doesn't know who he's dealing with, Peter, what ever he wants with you, he won't get it.... uh, Peter... are you okay." Peter still stared at the flame before finally he walked a little ways from the fire then took off into the sky. Jordan ran after him till she called her dragon who came running from her log and helped lift Jordan into the air after Peter as she said,

" Peter! Wait up." But Peter didn't wait, he just kept flying and flying.
