Narrator: The story always ends the same. Peter Pan shouts:
Peter: Good-bye, Wendy!
And then Wendy shouts back to him:
Wendy: I'll always believe in you, Peter Pan!
And Wendy did believe, always, even as she left childhood behind
and came to have children of her own.
Wendy: There it is, Jane. Second star to the right and straight
on to morning.
Young Jane: Never Land!
//SONG- SECOND STAR TO THE RIGHT//
The second star to the rightShines in the night for youTo tell
you that the dreams you planReally can come trueThe second star to
the rightShines with a light that's rareAnd if it's Never Land you
needIts light will lead you there
Narrator: Our story begins in difficult times. England is
threatened with war and many men have been asked to leave their
families to protect their country. But the war lasted much longer
than anyone could have imagined. Bombs fell from the sky and tore
at the very heart of London. In an effort to protect its children
the government decreed that they all be sent to the countryside for
safekeeping. In times such as these it is no wonder some discard
childish things like Peter Pan and Never Land.
/NANATWO BARKING/Jane: What is it, Nanatwo?Nanatwo: /BARKS/Jane:
We dont have time, you silly dog. We have to get this home to
Danny.Nanatwo: /BARKS/Jane: Look, who's in charge here?Nanatwo:

/in the bomb shelter/Daniel: Mommy, where's Jane?Wendy: Don't
you worry, Danny. She'll be along. All right, now. Here we go. Into
the bomb shelter.
/insert bomb slash war sounds here/ Daniel: Mommy, I'm scared! I
don't like planes and bombs.Wendy: Is that what it is? For a
moment, it sounded like cannons... on a pirate ship.Daniel: You're
right! It's Captain Hook! I hear him! He's coming!/NANATWO

whatever might happen.Jane: What?Wendy: You and your brother are

I, Captain James Hook, hereby swer not to harm a single hair on
Peter Pans head. You see?Jane: All right then.CH: /rejoices/
Splendid! Splendid! Dear Mama! Prepare yourself! Your sweet little
boy is coming home! Now, when youve located the treasure, just give

your only way home.
