I just quite recently watched Hook again for the first time in god knows how long. It was all thanks to me scrolling around Youtube for a full length movie to watch and stumbled across Hook :)I honestly don't remember Rufio since I watched it so long ago but Dante Basco was super cute back then. Plus he's Filo,like me :P

Summary:Lailani is the adopted 15 year old daughter of Peter and Moira Banning. She though that this would be an ordinary trip to visit Granny Wendy but it all turned to disaster once Maggie and Jack were kidnapped by Captain James Hook. Joining her 'Father' to rescue her 'siblings',she never thought that she would catch the eye of a certain Lost Boys leader...Rufio/OC.

Disclaimer: I do not own any recognizable characters,they belong to their respective owners. I only own Lailani and a few twists :) Lailani is based largely on myself save for her name and age(I'm three years younger currently)

Follows main story and starts on the plane.

I Gotta Go My Own Way

'We might find a place in this world someday
But at least for now, I gotta go my own away
I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way'


"Hello everyone this is your Captain speaking,sit back, relax and enjoy the remainder of the flight"
The Captain's voice called over the intercom of the plane.

Peter Banning clutched the hand-rests of his seat,terrified of the great height they were flying. He was like that until his youngest daughter clambered to his seat and held a drawing pad up to his face.

"Look what Jack drew!" Maggie said excitedly,showing him a drawing of a plane.

"T-that's very nice dear,what's that?" he asked curiously,pointing to some bright colours on the page.

"Fire" Maggie replied.

"Fire?Really?" Peter asked incredulously,"Is that our plane?"

"Yep,mhm!"

"Who are all these people?" Peter asked,seeing stick figures and parachutes.

"That's Jack,that's me,that's mommy,that's Lani and that's you!" the girl said enthusiastically,pointing to four people with parachutes and the last person without a parachute and falling down.

"Where's my parachute?"

A cough interrupted him from the seat in front of him,coming from his wife,Moira,"You're not going to die without a phone and fax machine"

"I'm half way there,I've got the phone in the briefcase" Peter replied.

"Talk to him" Moira said firmly,jerking her head slightly to their son,who was still brooding about his Peter missing his last game of the season.

Peter consented and moved to the seats in front of Moira,"Lani,switch with me" he asked his oldest -adopted- daughter.

The South-East Asian girl raised an eyebrow,pulling herself from her fantasy novel perched on her lap,"You better choose your words carefully,you know he's really upset"

Peter shook his head and dismissed the comment,"Aren't you too old for Fairytales?" he asked,nudging the book Lailani was reading.

"Whatever,I'm only fifteen" she rolled her eyes and went to sit beside Maggie.

The oldest Banning child buried herself back into the story she was reading. It was 'Peter Pan'. She remembered the first time Granny Wendy had read it to her. The kind woman had taken her into her orphanage after both her parents were killed on their vacation to London from the Philippines.

She had sat beside Wendy as she read from the wonderfully illustrated book. Lani had always been drawn to fantasy and supernatural things. It was something unexplainable.

She remembered the last time she'd been in London. It was during the Bannings' latest visit to Granny Wendy that she had been adopted into their family. She was five at the time and since then,ten years had past.

She sighed as Jack caused another commotion,this was gonna be a long flight.


"It's been a long time..." Peter said wistfully as the family arrived in front of Granny Wendy's house.

"London's a magical place for children" Moira said a bit giddy and breathlessly,"Jack,Lani,Maggie" she ushered them to the front door,"Peter!It's number Fourteen!"

"Oops,sorry,sorry" Peter apologized,moving to the right door.

"Okay" Moira breathed,"Now what do you say to Grandma Wendy?You say 'how do you do?'"

"Is Granny Wendy the real,real Wendy from my play?" Maggie inquired.

"Definitely" Lani nodded,taking in the familiar sight of the house surrounded by snow and Christmas lights.

"No honey,not really" Peter said otherwise.

"Sort of" Moira clarified.

"Jackie,take that gum out of your mouth" he said,giving out orders,"Remember dears,first impressions are the most important,smile,shirt tucked. Lani,please try to act like a lady for once"

Jack snorted,"Lani?A Lady?If I remember right,mom had to force her to wear a dress!"

"Shut up Pipsqueak!" Lani growled.

"Enough!" Peter scolded and used the door-knocker to knock three times,"Remember,your in England,land of good-manners"

Lani and Jack laughed to themselves quietly and the elder girl quickly whispered something,"Oi Jack,bet you twenty bucks that I can act like a good girl just like what Father dearest wants" she smirked.

"Done!" Jack whispered back as the two shook hands.

"Just then,the door opened and a familiar man opened it.

"Uncle Toodles!" Peter and Lailani said in unision.

"It's snowing!" the man exclaimed,slamming the door in their faces.

Jack laughed,but suddenly began to choke on his gum,to which Lani hastily patted his back with hard hits.

A scream suddenly sounded,causing them to jump slightly as a red-headed woman smiled happily at them and began to chatter happily about 'adorable children'.

"It's good to see you Libby...Linda...Li-li-Lisa!" Peter stammered,forgetting the woman's name.

"Liza dear!" Liza corrected. Liza enthusiastically pulled them inside with much yelling and happy screaming,"Look at this!Such a big boy you are now Jack!And oh!This must be Maggie!Oh how sweet!"

"Hey,Liza,remember me?" Lani asked shyly.

Liza looked at her for a moment before screaming and throwing her arms around the flustered girl,"Oh Lailani dear!You look beautiful!Come come,Granny Wendy will be with you in just a moment" Liza said,leading them into the living room where a large and festive Christmas tree was surrounded by dozens of presents.

Maggie,Jack and Lani explored the presents smiling at the festive and happy aura the house possessed.

"It's been so long between visits" Peter said as he and Moira stood before Wendy.

"It's been ten years between visits!" Wendy replied,hugging him. She then turned her attention to her granddaughter,"Oh Moira,Moira..." the elderly woman said,tears of happiness appearing in her eyes as she released her,"Pray tell,where is my little Lani?"

"Right here Lola" Lailani said smiling,appearing in the door way before running up to Wendy and hugging the old woman fiercely.(A/N Lola=grandma,grandmother etc in Tagalog(Filipino))

"Ah my child...you're a big girl now" Wendy sighed.

Maggie and Jack came up to Wendy next and Lani laughed at what Jack said.

"I'm suppose to tell you about..."he shook his head,"Congratulations for opening the...orphan hospital and how...great a dedication it is" he said uncertainly,"And yeah..."

"Thank you very much" Wendy said quietly before addressing the whole family,"Now,I insist that there is one rule that must be obeyed while you're in my house" she paused for effect,"No growing up. Stop,this very instant. And that includes you Mr Chairman-of-the Board Banning" she shot a pointed look at Peter.

"Sorry,too late Gran" Peter apologized.

"And what is so terribly important about your terribly important business?" Wendy asked curiously.

Jack to it upon himself to explain and stepped up,"Well,you see...when a big company is in trouble,Dad sails in and if there's ANY resistance -Dad!"

"Well,he's exaggerating" Peter said,pulling Jack back and explaining what he really did -with Jack adding in "Any resistance!" every now and then.

"Any resistance!And he BLOWS them out of the water!" Jack finished.

Wendy looked at Peter with a strange look on his face"Fool...Peter you've become a Pirate..."


The next night,Moira's call echoed through the house,"Peter!Brad's on the phone he says it's urgent!"

Peter sighed and began talking to the phone in the living room where Moira was sitting in a chair and Lailani was curled up on the couch with headphones on listening to music.

That was how it was when the two youngest children burst in and began to shout and run around. Peter became increasingly frustrated as Maggie clambered onto him,making it harder for him to hear what was on the phone.

"Sit down" Moira pleaded,shushing them.

However,the two began to play around Peter and soon the businessman was well past boiling point.

"Will everybody just SHUT UP!" Peter shouted.

"I'm sorry" Jack apologized hastily.

"And will you leave me alone for ONE MOMENT?! Lani get them out of here will you?I'm on the phone call of my life!"

Moira and Wendy shut their eyes in dismay. Lani quickly took off her headphones and ushered her younger siblings outside with Granny Wendy while Moira scolded Peter.

"Come on guys,out" Lani said,pushing them into the hallway with Wendy,"Lola,if you don't mind I'll just take a walk outside if that's alright with you" she said quietly.

"Are you sure you'll be alright,it's quite late" Wendy said.

Lailani nodded,"It's fine,I take Fencing lessons as well as gymnastics and basketball,I'm sure I'll be fine"

Wendy nodded her approval and turned to the two younger children,"Come with me,I'll show you the window where your Father and I use to stare out and look at the stars..." she said soothingly.


Meanwhile,Moira scolded Peter.

"How many more broken promises Peter?" Moira asked,placing her hands on her hips.

"I'm sorry..." Peter said quietly as the cellphone began to ring again,"It's Brad Moira,I gotta take this call...I gotta fix this"

"No,you've got to fix your family first" Moira sighed exasperatedly.

Peter uncertainly began to answer the call but to his surprise,Moira snatched it out of his hand and threw it out the window where it lay in the snow. He looked at her disbelievingly and moved back to the window,a smile of disbelief on his face.

"Your children love you,they want to play with you" Moira said quietly,"How long do you think that lasts?Lailani is only one year away from being sixteen and considered 'grown up'. Despite not being blood-related we have raised the girl as our own. Soon Jack may not even want you to come to his games,sooner or later Maggie won't careless if you turn up to her plays or not and when was the last time you showed up at one of Lani's Fencing tournaments?"

Peter remained silent. Moira was right.


Lailani walked out sometime later,clad in a thick black and green hoodie to ward off the snow as well as camouflage-print cargo pants and black sneakers.

"A few hours outside will do me good...hopefully Maggie and Jack will be alright after Lola,Mom and Dad leave..."

Little did she know that it was because of that decision did she escape the fate that awaited her two younger siblings...
