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

''YOU OLD BAT!'' Billy Jukes shouted as he scowled. He raised a mallet above his head. Billy Jukes saw Captain Hook's wide eyes.

A sudden scowl replaced Captain Hook's expression of absolute shock. ''Old bat?'' He lowered his hook near the latter's face. Captain Hook viewed his body trembling. ''Old bats will end your life,'' he said. He raised his hook above his head.

''A bat is hanging upside down in your cabin,'' Billy Jukes said after he ceased trembling.

Captain Hook's eyes widened another time. He stepped back. He began to glance at the ceiling. Captain Hook viewed a bat hanging upside down. Confused, he tilted his head to one side. His scowl returned.

''I will get rid of the bat,'' Billy Jukes said. He ran to it before Captain Hook placed his arm in front of him. Billy Jukes ceased running. He saw the return of Captain Hook's scowl.

''The bat may be Cecilia's new form,'' Captain Hook said.

Billy Jukes began to tilt his head to one side. He blinked. ''Cecilia?''

''My betrothed. She walked the plank after my older brother captured her ship,'' Captain Hook said.

Billy Jukes gasped. ''Someone was almost your wife?'' he asked. He viewed Captain Hook frowning and nodding.

''Cecilia thought I was a mere merchant. I mentioned providing for her until we were married. Tears ran down Cecilia's face while she refused to marry me. A golden idol replaced her,'' Captain Hook said.

''Someone was almost your wife,'' Billy Jukes said as he shook his head in disbelief.

''I wasn't able to protect Cecilia during her previous life. I'll protect her this time,'' Captain Hook said.

''Maybe Cecilia is a different form,'' Billy Jukes said.

Captain Hook was thoughtful for a moment. ''Perhaps,'' he said. Captain Hook's eyes became wide again after the bat flew out of the cabin. He and Billy Jukes followed it. He watched as the bat departed. Captain Hook returned to his cabin. After sitting by his harpsichord, he began to play and sing.

All vocals and songs varied from sad ones to cute ones. Captain Hook's emotions also varied with them. Tears streamed down his face prior to a sudden smile.

Billy Jukes frowned during all songs. ''I should summon animal control again. Smee won't remove Captain Hook from the animal shelter this time.'' He continued to frown. Billy Jukes smiled. ''I'll prevent another song,'' he said. His smile stretched from ear to ear. ''Mummy!''
