So, my two cousins (Rafael - 6 years old - and Gustavo - 2 years old) were at my house, they slept there for the weekend and on Saturday we went outside to play.
The boys, my mom, their dad and me played ball, tag, etc etc. Then, it was 7pm, and the adults wanted to go back inside, but we (the kids) didn't... So they took little Gustavo with them (he was sleepy) and Rafael and I went to this piece of field right beside my house... And then he made the most amazing tanong ever:
"Let's play Peter Pan?"
Wow, I was so happy he wanted to play that! Some months before I had come up with that game, and he loved it! So,he wanted to repeat!
"Um... and how will it work?" I asked, grinning.
"I'm Peter, you're Mrs. Hook!!" He said, running around.
Yeah, I'm Mrs. Hook, we needed a villain, so I became the codfish XDXDXD So we divided the land in two imaginary "territories"; Forest and Ship.
I pretended I had a Hook in my right hand and we started... He "flying around", I running and screaming "YOU WON'T WIN THIS ONE, PAN!" and stuff... we may have fallen in the damo a few times...
Then, I sinabi I have my own pixie dust and that I could fly too, and Rafael changed his strategy:
"So I'm Ben 10 now!" He said.
"WHAT?" I asked.
"Exactly! And I just became a sea monster!" He yelled, running after me. I went with it.
"SMEE!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH! WASN'T THAT OLD TIC TAC MONSTER ENOUGH? AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" I yelled, running around.
Then, we stopped a little, to rest, and I saw the familiar shadow I saw so many times before, although I wasn't expecting, since I hadn't talked to Peter that much lately, and it had been a long time since my last sign. So I was REALLY HAPPY!
"Hey, Rafa, Peter's here!" I told him.
"What?" He asked confused.
"Peter Pan! He just flew over there" I pointed to the where I saw the shadow.
"Re-really?" He asked, gleaming eyes.
"YES! HE'S HERE!!!" I told him, smiling and jumping around.
And I made him scream with me "I do believe in fairies, I do, I do!" XD that was awesomeee. Well, then I saw my bunny Easter (that actually runs around during the araw and come tahanan at night) hopping near us... Now, Easter was a little rabbit I found on Easter, after going outside to hide an egg to Bunnymund, and he REALLY looks like the Easter Bunny when he got small (like really, the marks and patterns in his balahibo are almost the same), and we went near Easter to play with it...
That's when we felt a cold rush of air... So sudden. It was a hot araw and a warm night til then, but out of nowhere we had this extremely cold breeze. I put my hands in front of me, and right there was extremely cold. I lowered it a little, and it was warm again. Same thing when I put my hand a little higher.
I asked Rafael to do the same, and he was like:
"Oh my God, looks like a refrigerator"
I admit, I laughed a lot after that XDXDXD So, just for the sake of trying, I asked "Jack?", and in that segundo my cousin gasped.
"OMG I SAW IT NOW!"
"What?" I asked.
"THE SHADOW!"
And I got really excited!!!!
"It's Peter, or Jack, or both!" I told him and he started asking me ALL POSSIBLE tanong XDXDXDXDXD!
Then I told him some stories and stuff, and we got to Hook and Pitch... He sinabi he saw another shadow and was afraid it was Hook...
"No, no, no, no... That old codfish wouldn't come here! Lemme tell you a secret: All villains are afraid of me!" I said.
"Really?" He asked fearful.
"Yep! And you know why? Because I believe in magic, I believe in Peter and Neverland! We are the heroes! And the good always win!!"
He started to calm down, until we heard a sound coming from a dark corner. It was a big, shadowy scary part of that piece of land, and even I couldn't see anything there (and I'm usually used to the dark).
"P-Pitch's there!" He said, starting to really CRY. I got kinda desperate like:
"No, hey, hey! Don't you believe in Jack Frost?"
"The ice dude?" He asked.
"Yeah" I said, laughing a little.
He nodded.
"Great! What about Santa Claus?"
"Of course!"
"Tooth Fairy?"
"YEAH! My tooth fell and I got a penny!"
"Sandman?"
"Yep!"
"Easter Bunnymund?"
"Sure!"
"Then you have nothing to worry about, because while one child believes, they'll be here to defeat the old Boogieman... and I told you, all villains are afraid of me!"
"Even the Boogieman?"
"Even the Boogieman! Actually, he can be kinda pathetic sometimes... I once dreamt he was pag-awit Let It Go, dancing jazz and building a big sand castle..." I laughed, remembering the dream (yeah I did dream that, someday I'll tell you guys with all the funny details!)
Rafael was better now, but everytime he looked to the dark corner, he got a little scared... I could see that in his eyes.
"Hey! What about I go teach the old coward Pitch a lesson?" I asked Rafael.
"Could you do that?" He asked.
"Sure!" I said, leaving him under the streetlight and going to that dark place.
Now, I was scared. I've had some very unpleasant moments with the that guy, when I was believing soooo much and finding so many new believers he started giving me and my mga kaibigan nightmares DXDX, but I was tired of his games, specially after scaring my little cousin... so I went there.
I couldn't see anything, but I said:
"Hey Pitch! You annoying dark sand villain! I'm not afraid of you, okay? So, cmon, go away, you already lost... Haunted sa pamamagitan ng your own nightmares, can you realize how ridiculous that is, you old scary "Boogieman"! Gimme a break and go away!"
And went to Rafael again, saying he would never scare us again XDXDXD we then talked to Peter and Jack, made up a story (I'll write it later here), danced, played... PURE FUN! Well, besides the part when my dog started barking alarmed to the dark corner again, and Rafael started crying again, and I had to go "fight" with Pitch again XDXDXD and when I was joking about villains and the power off only in my house, and we still don't know why...
Maybe it has something to do with the fact I had a scary nightmare that night XD what really matter is: WE HAD FUN!
I'm Wendy in this version. The two most Impactful lines came from Tiger Lily "Keep the past in your puso but where you go from here is up to you" Goodbye see you again someday" That line was sinabi in Cree & sounded beautiful! Wendy tells her mother” What If I don’t want your life?” Que Queer Wendy Daring headcanons. The ease with which Wendy pulls up her happiest memories, even when she was a baby means she’s autistic! If I've ever seen one, Jude Law is a gentlemanly threatening Captain Hook. Tiger Lily saves Peter Pan! The scene involves Indigenous medicine and is quiet, but touching.
