SCRIPT:
NARRATOR: Welcome to a world where dreams can fly, fairies sparkle in the air, and time stops—if only for a little while. Tonight, we’ll take you far from the streets of London, past the stars, and into Neverland… a place where children never grow up, pirates sail the seas, and the impossible becomes possible. So, hold on tight, think happy thoughts, and don’t forget the fairy dust—because this is the magical tale of Peter Pan and the Journey to Neverland.
Once upon a time, there were three siblings named Wendy, Michael, and John. They lived in a big house in London. Every night, Wendy—the oldest sister—told her brothers stories about the adventures of Peter Pan.
MICHAEL: Tell us more about Peter Pan!
JOHN: Yes, please, Wendy! Tell us another story! Please, please!
WENDY: It’s late, and tomorrow we have school.
MICHAEL: Oh…
WENDY: Now, close your eyes and go to sleep. Goodnight, and sweet dreams.
MICHAEL AND JOHN: Goodnight, Wendy.
NARRATOR: A few hours later, they woke up frightened. They had heard strange noises in the room.
JOHN: Did you hear that?
MICHAEL: Yes. Did you, Wendy?
WENDY: Yes. What’s that light over there?
JOHN: Where?
MICHAEL: What is it?
WENDY: It’s…
TINKER BELL: Yes! It’s me—Tinker Bell!
WENDY, MICHAEL, JOHN: Tinker Bell!
NARRATOR: Then something extraordinary happened. Peter Pan appeared right there in the middle of the room.
WENDY, MICHAEL, JOHN: Peter Pan!
PETER PAN: Do you want to come with us?
WENDY: Where?
PETER PAN: Tinker Bell and I can take you to Neverland, where the Lost Boys live.
JOHN: To Neverland?
MICHAEL: Where the Lost Boys live?
WENDY: But… we can’t fly.
PETER PAN: Tinker Bell will help you. She’ll blow fairy dust on you, and you’ll fly.
NARRATOR: Then Tinker Bell sprinkled fairy dust over the children, and they began to float in the air.
MICHAEL: Look at me!
JOHN: Look at me! I’m flying!
MICHAEL: Oh, lovely!
NARRATOR: Up and down they went, round and round until finally, the five of them flew out of the room and into the sky. They flew for days and nights. Sometimes they were cold, and sometimes they felt warm. Sometimes they were hungry, and sometimes they were sleepy. As they soared above Neverland, Peter Pan pointed to a ship in the middle of the ocean.
PETER PAN: Look! That’s Captain Hook’s ship. We have to be very careful—he wants to capture me.
WENDY: Who is Captain Hook?
PETER PAN: A long time ago, a crocodile bit off Hook’s hand—along with his watch. That’s why, when he hears a tick-tock, he gets very nervous. Since he can’t catch me, he tries to capture little children.
NARRATOR: Peter Pan was kind and polite to Wendy, which made Tinker Bell feel a pain in her heart. She thought:
TINKER BELL: I’m jealous! I’ve been through so many adventures with him… but I can’t stop feeling selfish. I have to get out of here!
NARRATOR: And she flew away.
WENDY, MICHAEL, JOHN, PETER PAN: Tinker Bell! Where are you going?
NARRATOR: But Tinker Bell flew and flew until she stopped to rest in one of the Lost Boys’ houses.
TINKER BELL: Please, Lost Boys, help Peter Pan! He’s flying with three children, and a great, mean bird is chasing them!
LOST BOY 1: Where?
TINKER BELL: Look! Up in the sky! There it is—right behind Peter Pan!
NARRATOR: Then one of the Lost Boys took out his bow and arrow and shot straight at Wendy.
LOST BOY 2: Now Peter Pan is safe!
NARRATOR: Wendy felt a sharp pain and slowly fell to the ground. When the Lost Boys saw she wasn’t a mean bird, but a beautiful girl, they were surprised.
LOST BOYS: Will you be our mother?
WENDY: I’m only a little girl. I don’t have experience… but I’ll try.
NARRATOR: Every day, Wendy took care of the children and told them stories of Peter Pan’s adventures. But one night, while they were gathered in the square, a terrible voice echoed.
CAPTAIN HOOK: You are my prisoners!
NARRATOR: Suddenly, a tick-tock, tick-tock sound echoed, and Hook became furious. He grabbed Wendy and said:
CAPTAIN HOOK: If you want to see her again, tell Peter Pan to come and get me!
NARRATOR: The pirates climbed onto their horses and rode away to the ship. The Lost Boys told Peter Pan what had happened. Peter Pan left Michael and John with his friends and flew straight to the pirates’ ship.
PETER PAN: Captain Hook! Here I am! Let Wendy go!
CAPTAIN HOOK: Ha, ha, ha! Welcome aboard, Peter Pan! My loyal men—take her to land!
NARRATOR: When Wendy arrived on land, she ran straight to the Lost Boys’ square and said:
WENDY: Peter Pan is Hook’s prisoner! What can we do?
NARRATOR: At that moment, they saw a light coming down from the sky. It was Tinker Bell.
TINKER BELL: Forgive me, Wendy. Please… be my friend again.
NARRATOR: Wendy smiled and said:
WENDY: We have to save Peter Pan.
TINKER BELL: I have a plan. Follow me!
NARRATOR: Tinker Bell, Wendy, Michael, John, and the Lost Boys sailed out to sea in a boat. When they reached Captain Hook’s ship, Tinker Bell began to dance over the water. Soon, the sea began to echo tick-tock, tick-tock.
CAPTAIN HOOK: Stop it! Please! I can’t stand that sound!
TINKER BELL: Let Peter Pan go, or the ocean will turn into a giant tick-tock in your ears!
NARRATOR: Captain Hook set Peter Pan free. As Hook and his pirates fled, Peter and his friends returned to the Lost Boys’ square. That night, everyone celebrated.
PETER PAN: Thank you, my friends. You saved my life. We’ve had one of the most exciting adventures!
NARRATOR: Then John woke up. They were all back in the bedroom.
JOHN: Was it a dream?
MICHAEL: Yes… maybe it was all a dream.
NARRATOR: And so, our adventure ends—not with a swordfight, nor a splash of fairy dust—but with a simple wave goodbye. Wendy, John, and Michael returned to their beds, carrying the memory of Neverland in their hearts. And Peter Pan? Well, he still flies among the stars, laughing in the wind, forever young. Some say it was just a dream… but others know the truth: as long as there are stories, as long as there’s imagination—Neverland will never be far away.
