When the Pixie Dust Tree nearly collapses after a violent storm, Peter Pan swoops in to help. He dives into danger without thinking, saving a stream of golden dust from spilling into the sea.

Days later, the Queen of the Fairies holds a ceremony.

“For bravery and loyalty,” she declares, “we name Peter Pan an Honorary Dustkeeper.”

The fairies cheer. Even Tink looks proud. But from the edge of the crowd, Terence watches with a clenched jaw. Peter doesn’t understand what that title means — not really.

That night, when the Hollow is quiet, Peter appears again, excited.

“Did you see me, Terence? They called me one of you!”

Terence doesn’t even look up from his work.

“You played hero for a night. That doesn’t make you a Dustkeeper.”
