I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.

A sunny day caused Midshipman James Hook to smile. *It's great to be alive to view the gorgeous sky* he thought. He focused on the sky for a few seconds. There was another reason why he was happy.

James viewed Cecilia resting her head on his shoulder. His smile remained. ''I am looking forward to our wedding day, Cecilia,'' he said. His eyes were still on her as she smiled. James wrapped one arm around her shoulder. He continued to stand on a hill.

*My days as a pirate will end before our wedding day, Cecilia. I should be finished with providing for you. I assume Jasper will remain a pirate. My brother is always interested in capturing ships and taking every gold coin* James thought. He rolled his eyes and frowned. *Jasper will probably wear his usual captain outfit to the wedding. I shouldn't be shocked.*

James embraced Cecilia before his smile returned. He almost kissed her when he heard a knock. Confusion filled his eyes. James tilted his head to one side. He heard another knock. *Hm?* he thought.

James opened his eyes and saw the bedroom ceiling. A scowl formed on his face. ''One mere dream,'' he muttered under his breath. James sat up and stretched his arms. *I'll eventually be with you, Cecilia.* He got out of bed before he heard a knock.

*One actual knock?* James thought with wide eyes. He walked to a door and opened it. He frowned as soon as he saw Jasper. The reason why he departed from his wonderful dream world.

Jasper smiled at his younger brother. ''I captured a ship a few moments ago. Follow me. You are going to like what you see, James,'' he said. Jasper viewed James tilting his head to one side due to curiosity. His smile stretched from ear to ear.

James followed Jasper to a different ship. He watched as two of Jasper's men held a certain woman's arms. His jaw dropped. His eyes became wide. James recognized the struggling woman's long dress and matching hat. *My betrothed!* he thought.
