Chapter 13

“Well this is it Prince.” Paris said. The sun was going down as Prince and Paris looked around the cabin filled with Peter Pan statues. “This is the last time we’ll be able to see Neverland….minus the parking lots.”

Prince shook his head. “Minus the parking lots….” He sighed. “I wish dad was here to just…”

Paris put a hand on his shoulder and stopped his sentence. “We better go.”

“No…” He took a deep breath. “No not yet.”

Tommy Matolla had fell asleep watching TV. As the sun started to go down he woke up with a start. He found himself breathing hard and sweating. He had just relived his worse nightmare.

“Just a dream….that’s all it was….just….” he swallowed hard. “No it wasn’t.”

He stood quickly. He put his shoes on and grabbed his jacket. Going out the door he grabbed the phone and dialed Lisa Marie’s number. As he listened to the ring, he kept repeating to himself, “it wasn’t just a dream….it wasn’t just a dream…” He got in the car.

“Hello?” Lisa answered. Her voice quivered.

“Did you—“

“Yes. I had the dream.” Lisa said, sniffling.

Tommy took a deep breath. “Goddamn it…”

“What are we gonna do?”

“I told that son of a bi.tch to keep low!” Tommy screamed, pounding the dashboard. “I told him!”

“I’m scared Tommy…”

“I’m going over to Neverland…right now. Maybe it isn’t too late.”

“Should I go?” Lisa asked.

“No. Just stay at home. Stay there.”

“Okay.”

“And don’t be scared. I guess…if you’re scared…it’ll make things worse.”

Prince and Paris walked the building for a few minutes. Paris was ready to go.

“What’s up Prince?” Paris asked. “Isn’t it time to go?”

Prince shook his head. “I have this feeling….”

“What feeling? That the ghost of Michael is coming to haunt us? If you say yes, I’m gonna kill you.” Paris said.

Prince didn’t respone.

As they walked Evan ran right into them.

“Sorry kids, you ain’t went home yet?”

They both shook their heads.

“Well you might want to now.” Evan ran pass them.

Prince and Paris glanced at each other and followed Evan. They followed him to the door where they greeted Tommy Matolla.

“I can’t believe you did this.” Tommy said through clenched teeth.

“I wasn’t thinking about it! It’s been years!” Evan said.

“Well yeah I bet you FORGOT. Me and Lisa has been living in fear for years for helping you out!”

By now the night had come. Prince shook his head. “Lets go.”

Prince and Paris walked pass Tommy and Evan and went towards the gates. Prince kept sighing.

“What is it?” Paris asked.

“I’m trying to figure out….why my heart is pounding so hard….”

The sounds of the merry-go-round filled their ears as they passed by it, probably for the last time. Right after they passed by the ride the music abruptly stopped and the lights cut off. Prince and Paris turned around.

The light suddenly shut down. Tommy gasped.

“It’s happening.” Tommy said. “because of you!”

“Is this a time for blame games?” Evan asked.

“This is a perfect time.” Tommy replied.

Meanwhile, while Lisa was eating, her doorbell rang.

“Coming!”

She stood and went to the door and she gasped.

“Danny?”
