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: /BARKS/Jane: Don't be silly. I am! Now, come on!
