Tinker Bell: The Great Pulse

I do believe in fairies! I do! I do!1 Peter Pan shouted repeatedly as he

held Tinker Bell in his arms in Neverland1. And just like that, she sprung into

the air and stretched her wings2. Peter actually did it; he brought Tink back to

life after Hook hurt her. Peter knew something had to be done about Hook, so

he and Tink started their journey to get Wendy3. The North Star had a less

bumpy4 path than the other stars, so that was the star they would head

towards. Oh no! said Peter, I think I am out of pixie dust! Tink began to

fly in circles all around Peter so that she could sprinkle her pixie dust6 over

every inch of him. With that and their happy thoughts5 they were ready to

go. They flew at a specific speed17 straight at the North Star to go to Wendys

house.

They reached Wendys window and flew into her room, but something

was off. By the time they realized they accidentally flew into the room of

Wendys brothers, John and Michael, it was too late. With one loud boom, the

two boys caught Tink in a glass jar. The boys began to tap the glass and

make Tink scatter8 brained. Peter told them to let her go before she got

angry, but it was too late. Between the stars and the frustration, Tink began

to get so hot7 that her face was blood red. At this time, Wendy came bursting

in and told her brothers to leave Tinker Bell alone. Luckily Tink had taken her

medicine9 that morning so she was nice and strong. She broke out of the jar

and started yelling at the boys. They should have known not to raise Tinks

temperature18 because it really messes with her. Unfortunately, Peter was not

paying one bit of attention to her. This made Tink feel weak10 because she

was jealous he was placing all of his attention on Wendy. Peter noticed Tink

start to cry and fly off, so he followed her. He told her how much she means

to him and how he couldnt face Hook if it werent for her11. With this

thought, Tink and Peter were on their way back12 to Neverland with Wendy

and her brothers. The trip took all night to go from Wendys room to back

home20.

By the time they got back everyone was starving. The Lost Boys had

been cooking all morning so they were just in time. Everyone sat down and

dug in! Well, everyone except John and Michael. They did not understand

how everyone was eating when it looked like nothing was on the table. Was

this a joke or was the food just invisible? Peter began to laugh at the

confused look on the boys faces. He shouted, Believe! You have to

believe! The boys thought this was crazy but they closed their eyes and

gave it a try anyway. When they opened their eyes again, they were

astounded by the food that was everywhere13. Bacon, ham, eggs, biscuits,

where to begin? Everyone was talking, eating, and having a merry ole time.

Tink was so happy to see everyone together; she had such a big family. She

remembers how lonely and grey14 she was before she met Peter and the

twelve Lost Boys14. Peter asked Tink what she was thinking about, so she

decided to show him. She took Peter to a secrete tree house where there

evidence that someone had once lived there. This is where I met you Peter,

Tink said with tears in her eyes. Peter saw a Teddy Bear and bit by bit15 the

memories began to flow back to him. Peter shouted out, I remember

everything Tink! I know how to defeat Hook! We are going to need as many

clocks as we can get.

Peter got everyone together and ready to launch their attack on Hook

and his grumpy crew. There was the perfect number of people helping, so

everything went according to plan21. The adventure was underway. Everyone

grabbed as many clocks as they could carry while Tinker Bell covered them

in pixie dust. They all rose up into the sky and began their sneak attack.

The clashing of steel filled the air as Peter and his friends fought with

the pirates. They had the upper hand; it looked like they were actually going

to win, until Hook got a hold of Tinker Bell. Peter had been easily winning

until Hook gained the ability to fly. With all of his friends in chains and rope,

he thought the fight had reached an end, until, Wendy did something

unexpected. She gave Peter Pan a thimble but this was no ordinary thimble,

it was a kiss. Peter burst with excitement at this act of love that Wendy

focused22 into the thimble. He now had the push he needed to finish the

fight. Now! yelled Peter and everyone pulled out the clocks to display16.

Tick tock! Tick tock! all the clocks screamed19 at once. Hook could not think

straight with this constant reminder that he was old and running out of time.

These bad thoughts made him lose his ability to fly so he fell from the sky

above. Peter caught him and tied him up. The fight was finally over and

Wendy would remember this adventure for the rest of her life.
