A/N: Woo! First chapter of the sequel! Hope you guys enjoy and I own no original Peter Pan characters just the concept of Pan! Just a quick note: anything in plain Italics is Peter talking and anything in "Italics with quotation marks" is Pan talking.

The warm soft morning sun rose into the sky as the birds chirped the island awake. Off in the distance the ragged dark brown Jolly Roger sat still in the water looking void of life as usual. Besides the birds and wildlife the island was quiet and peaceful; the opportune moment for a small group of adventurers to start their journey. Peter, with Wendy in hand, John, Nibs, Slightly, Curly, Tootles, and the Twins were walked out by Tiger Lily from her Tribe's new underground hideout. Thanks to the oldest member, the young adventurers were able to find out new information of Neverland's very own history. What many of them took for granted was the fact that the island they called home had its own dark secrets. It worried the lost boys that Peter might've known about all of this information for so long. They didn't want him to bottle up knowledge as important as this, although their moment of worry lasted exactly that, a moment. They all knew that his memory was not his saving grace. But what bugged Slightly was the fact that Peter freely talked about knowing about the previous Pans. Why hadn't he been trusted with the information beforehand? His thoughts affected his stride as the group made their way through the forest.

"Are you alright Slightly?" a concerned Peter asked as he joined his friend in the back of the group.

"Just something's bothering me is all," he mumbled. "How'd you know all that stuff about the Pan?" He bit his tongue to prevent himself from saying anything he would regret.

"Why are you asking me this?" Peter's tone was unreadable as they came to a stop. The group kept walking ahead.

"W-well I was just wondering, and the other's were…p-possibly wondering as well…h-how you knew all of t-t-that…" Peter stared blankly at him before playfully shoving his shoulder.

"Relax Slightly," he laughed. "To be honest with you I'm not really sure how I knew all of that. Once I started talking it just all poured out. I'm sure it was all stuff I knew when I first became the Pan, but I forgot. Memories are something we long for on Neverland, but it seems to be something we are instead robbed of." They started walking again after the group.

"But what about the bad memories? Surely you don't want to remember those?" It was then that Slightly saw a look he had never seen Peter give. He noticed his friend give a distant look, making him seem older than he was.

"Memories are memories all the same, whether they be good ones or bad ones, they're still memories. If you've been on this island as long as I have you would understand why I hold memories close to me, even though they're always a fleeing thought." It was slightly sad the way Peter spoke, which was why Slightly was more than excited to change the subject.

"Well, you'll make plenty of new memories on this trip of ours. We might not even get that far unless we can find ourselves a mermaid."

"No need to fear, if there's water, there's a mermaid, and we're in luck too," the newly cheerful boy had an extra jump in his step.

"And why's that?"

"Because the Neverland mermaids love me!"

Peter

Just as I thought, the lost boys are on to me… Peter thought as he made his way to the front of the group.

"Why is that so hard to believe?" The Pan within him asked.

Well, they've never voiced it before, Peter responded. Although it was a weird sensation, it wasn't the first time the boy and spirit held a conversation with each other. It was unusual for the spirit to be talking this much in general. The Pan was usually more talkative at night, which made sleeping for Peter hard.

"Maybe because last night was the first time they heard about this island's history…"

You mean your history, Peter corrected. And that's not my fault, last night was the first time you shared that information with me.

"I shared that information with you because it's important and you forgot about it."

Maybe I wouldn't have forgotten about it if you had made me…

"Not my fault, it's the island's. You know this place has a mind of its own."

Yeah, not like you have anything to do with it… I sighed as I took off into the air right next to Wendy.

"Peter!" she called after me while shielding her eyes from the sun's rays.

"I'll be down in a minute!"

"What was that for?"

"So I could have a moment to really talk to you," I said quietly out loud. "It'd be great to let me know what's really going on around here…"

"You know as much as I. Plus it isn't me that's doing anything. Your friend's brother correctly guessed everything that's going on. It's you who's doing all the changing. I just wanted to run around and poke fun with the pirates but you're the one who flew off to get that girl. All because you wanted to know some stupid stories."

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was your idea to visit a place other than Neverland to have a real adventure." I was greeted with silence as I made it look like I was looking for something. "Oh, giving me the silent treatment huh?"

"Have fun looking for the mermaids that aren't around."

"I will, think of it like a game. To what extreme measures will I have to go through in order to get at least one mermaid's attention?"

"It does sound interesting…starting with a little dip in the Lagoon then?"

"I thought you'd never ask," I smirked before doing a nosedive into the shimmering lagoon below. I mentally cursed myself for not warning the group of what I was doing.

"The lost boys will know soon enough. It's not the first time you've acted out to get a mermaid's attention." Something within me believed the spirit, but made me wonder if he was talking of me or another body it had once possessed…
