Tinkerbell loves to fly. She flies all over Neverland and enjoys visiting all the different places, like mermaid lagoon, and Peter Pan’s hideout. She lives in Pixie Hallow with her other fairy friends, but she loves to play with Peter Pan and the Lost Boys as they fly all over Neverland. She spends most of her days with them while they come up with pranks to play on Captain Hook. Sometimes she almost forgets to go back to the pixie dust tree to get more pixie dust so she can keep flying.

One day Tinkerbell was having so much fun with Peter Pan that she forgot to get more pixie dust before flying all the way over to Skull Rock to prank Captain Hook. While they were there, Tinker Bell ran out of pixie dust right in the middle of flying over Captain Hook! She fell onto his ship, and he scooped her up and told Peter Pan to give himself up in order to free Tinkerbell. Peter Pan instead flew away back towards Neverland. Tinkerbell was so upset and worried. Captain Hook put her in a lantern to keep her from walking away. She was trapped.

Later that night, she heard shouting. Soon the door to the cabin swung open and Peter Pan and the Lost Boys were there to rescue her! Peter Pan had gone back to Neverland to get more pixie dust and to bring the Lost Boys to help set her free. They freed her from the lantern and Peter Pan sprinkled the pixie dust on her and then they all flew away back to Neverland. But before they left, they of course sprinkled some pixie dust on the Crocodile so he could go after Captain Hook!
