Peter Fram - Part I

Once upon a time, there lived a little girl named Jendy who was in love with the famous Peter Fram. She had two little brothers, Michael and John, and every night she would tell them stories about Peter, and they all had great fun.

But this day was not a very happy day. It was time for Jendy to grow up, which meant no more stories. Jendy sat alone in her new room and cried.

"Oh, why oh why must I grow up?" she sniffled, "I never want to grow up! Never, ever, ever!"

Suddenly, she heard a noise outside coming from her window.

"What was that? Who's there?" she asked, frightened.

"Waaaah… wah wah wah wah wah…" came the noise again.

Jendy gasped. "P-Peter Fram… is that you?" she asked, approaching the window sill. She unlocked the window and stuck her head into the cold winter night. The moon appeared to shine and light the sky… but there was no Peter Fram — or anyone else — to be seen. Jendy sighed and returned to her bed.

"Oh, I wish I didn't have to grow up…" Jendy sobbed.

"Well, who says you have to?"

"My goodness!" Jendy gasped. She whirled around and noticed a boy standing outside her window.

"Petah!" she whispered. "Oh, I knew you'd come back, I just knew it! Oh Peeetah!" Jendy jumped into Peter's arms and they both fell to the floor.

"Er, yeah… hi…" said Peter. "Uh… I was wondering if you saw me shadow around here by any chance?"

"Oh! Your shadow! Oh, yes, yes! Your shadow grows so long before my eyes… um, I mean, yes, I have your shadow! It's right over here!"

Jendy stumbled over to her sewing drawer and peeked inside. "Hurry Petah, come here! Make sure it doesn't get away!" Peter followed her to the dresser and positioned his hands over the drawer.

"Ready!" he said. Jendy opened the drawer and the shadow jumped out and flew around the room.

"Ack!" cried Peter. He chased after the shadow and hilarity ensued as he tried to catch it.

Once all was calm and all shadows were attached to their respective owners, Jendy asked, "so, Petah… how did your shadow get in my room in the first place?"

"Oh, I come by here lots of times," Peter told her, "I watch you when you're sleeping… and I wanna take your love".

"Umm… you want to do what?" asked Jendy.

"I uh — hey look, it's Jadabell!" Peter cried, pointing frantically to the window.

A little fairy fluttered into the room and sat on Peter's shoulder. She glared at him and put her hands on her hips.

"What's up, Jade?" Peter asked. Jadabell crossed her arms and turned her back on him with a huff.

"Don't walk, don't walk… don't walk away-ay!" he cried to her. Jadabell turned to face Peter again and glowed green. "Ah, you're jealous, huh, Jade? It's just Jendy, don't worr — OOF!"

Suddenly, Jadabell grew to the size of a normal girl and was able to speak. "Hey, Frampy! What the hell kind of story is this? I mean, first off, I don't get to talk? And second, I'm a tiny little fairy? I don't think so! And, hey, back off, Jendy! He's mine!"

"Aww, now there's nothing to get upset about, Jade…" Peter said.

"Hey! I've told you before — stop calling me that! It's Jay-duh-bell! Jadabell! Not Jade, not Jada, it's Jadabell! GOSH!"

"I think I liked her better before," Jendy giggled. Jadabell glared at her.

"Now girls, girls… there's no need to fight over me! There's enough Fram for everyone! …and just look at my glorious hair!" Peter said, flouncing his hair for all to see.

"Ohh…" said Jadabell and Jendy in awe, and they all gathered around his hair as it shined on.

The powerful glow of his hair reached little John and little Michael in the next room, and they gathered around as well, for no one can resist the power of Frampton's hair.

"Ooh… aww…" they all said.

"Wait! Hold it!" Peter said, "we have a story to tell here! We can't just sit around and look at me all day!"

"I could…" Jadabell and Jendy sighed.

"Tell you wot, Jendy says she doesn't want to grow up, so I say we go to Neverland!" Peter Fram said.

"Never wot?" asked little John.

"Neverland, dumbass," Jadabell said. "You know, it's like, the second star to the right and straight on 'til morning?"

"Oh, umm, okay!" said Jendy, "to Neverland we go! Peter, I want you to show me the way!"

"Sure! Just follow me!" he said as he hopped onto the window sill.

"Oh, wait a second!" Jendy cried, "I want to [mumble mumble waaaah] you".

"You wot?" Peter asked, shocked.

"I want to thank you," Jendy said, "…what did you think I said?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing…" Peter said, grinning. "You're welcome!"

"No no, silly! With a kiss!"

"A wot?"

"A kiss!"

"I can't say I ever heard of that!" Peter said.

"Oh, come on now. Everyone knows a kiss! Come here, I'll show you!"

"NEEEEEEEOWWWWWW!" cried Jadabell, lunging at and knocking down Jendy. "Ack, no you don't!"

"Jade! Stop that!" Peter cried.

"Come on, it's time to go," said Jadabell haughtily.

So off they went, off to Never neverland…
