Neverland 202/365
"So the King and Queen of Hearts escaped to Neverland?" Frankencow asked.
"Precisely," the White Rabbit said. "As you can imagine it was quite a come-uppance for the Royal Majesties."
"What do you mean?" Bingo asked.
"Well, think about it," Frankie said. "You're head honcho living in a big castle bossing everyone around, and then you have to run for your life. Doesn't sound like too much fun to me."
"Yes," the rabbit answered. The Cheshire Cat's grin seemed to consume his whole face, and Frankencow and Bingo could tell it bothered the rabbit. Nevertheless, the rabbit continued with his tale.
"Not only that, but they were dependent upon Peter Pan and his band of boys, and they lived in little more than a hovel."
"Oh, I bet that bossy queen loved that," Bingo said with a grin of his own.
"Indeed," the White Rabbit said dryly. "She was very unhappy with the lack of servants and the general untidiness of the boys."
"What's that light in that window?" Frankie asked curiously.
The Cheshire Cat answered this question. "Oh, that's Tinkerbell," he said grinning from ear to ear. "She and the Queen got on famously until the Queen tried to make her into a maid."
"Wow," Bingo said.
"Hmmm," Frankie said.
"Yes," the White Rabbit said. "It caused a bit of friction in the household, as you can well imagine."
"Did they ever have to deal with Captain Hook?" Bingo asked. That sounded like a genuine adventure to him.
"Of course," the rabbit replied in mild surprise. "The King did not take too kindly to Mr. Hook's brandishing a weapon at his wife, and the Queen took even more offense. After several swings of the sword in her face, the Queen of Hearts uttered her usual phrase, 'Off with his head!' but the boys misunderstood her to say, 'Off with his hand.' That's why he has the hook instead of his right hand."
"I thought he lost it at sea," Frankie said suspiciously.
"Nope, that's just a myth," the White Rabbit answered firmly.
