I flew past Pirate Cove on my way to Hangman's Tree, but as I did a cannon ball almost hit me!

"You tell that BLASTED Pan to stay away from my ship!"

I looked down and saw Captain Hook looking way more crazy and angry than usual. Rolling my eyes I flew off not wanting to deal with this "codfish" right now; I had more important things to do.

"Come back here and fight like a man!"

I practically laughed at the comment and retorted, "But as you can see Captain I am not a man!"

Flying as fast as I could I was almost at Hangman's Tree, but something or someone got in my way. It was Tinkerbell.

"Hi Tink is Peter here?"

She nodded quickly as though to hurriedly address the question and then pulled a lock of my hair as if trying to show me something.

"Ow OW! Alright Tink what is it?!"

She gave me a devilish smile. Tink then pointed down below where I spotted the Lost Boys. They were all holding bow and arrows or sling shots seeming to be aiming at a target, which I could not see yet. I squinted my eyes trying to find what they were shooting at. Then it started to come into view.

Is that a blue bird? No it couldn't be its too big. Wait is that-

Before I could complete my thought the Lost Boys already started shooting at it. Hearing its screams I realized who and what it was. I quickly flew down to catch Wendy and thankfully I did. I looked up and saw Peter flying above with a relieved, but disappointed look on his face. Ha, beat him to it.

Wendy had her face in the crook of my neck holding my so tight that I could barely breath.

"Oh Peter thank you so much for-wait you're not peter…"

Was this girl serious? She thought I was peter. I thought my long hair and figure would give it away, but then again she was falling to her death so I let it slide.

"Yeah I kinda know that," I said slightly chuckling. I put her down on the ground. "Are you alright?"

"Oh yes, and thank you for saving me. What's your name?"

"Cly, the names Cly," I said giving her a smile but then glancing around to see if I could find the fairy, which I was pretty sure the very person who caused this situation.

"Oh it's so nice to meet you finally! Oh to finally meet the lost girl!" Wendy seemed all the more happy to meet me.

Did Tink seriously think that I would be happy that Wendy was going to fall to her death? Even though she knows that I find it annoying that Peter is always gawking at her, but that is no reason for treason!

I then saw Michael and John run over to towards us (yes I know Michael and John I see them a lot in the nursery, but Peter never really takes notice of them; I wonder why…).

"Are you hurted Wendy?" Michael said hugging her leg.

"Oh no Michael, I am quite alright; Cly saved me."

Michael then looked up at me and cocked his head to the side.

"Are you a kitty?"

I gave him a perplexed look, but then realized that my tail and ears were out. (I am able to retract them to resemble a human, but I usually never do.)

"No I am not a kitty, I am a nymph," I said with a smile.

"Fascinating!" John exclaimed. He walked up to me and walked around me observing me. He particularly took an interest in my ears and tail.

I glanced behind myself as he looked at my tail with curiosity.

"Sooo I am fascinating, huh?" I said slightly laughing and visibly amused.

"Uhh yes, umm wait what I mean is-," John cleared his throat and stood up slightly blushing.

Just then all of the Lost Boys started running in, each one trying to explain how they were the ones who shot down the "Wendy bird".

Peter then stood beside me and shouted, "Attention!"

Silencing themselves they scrambled themselves into a line.

"Well I am certainly proud of you," at these words all of the lost boys had smiles upon their faces, but quickly turned into frowns as Peter continued saying, "you block heads!"

"I bring you a mother,"

A MOTHER?! I thought angrily scrunching up my face.

"and you shoot her down."

"Tink said it was a bird!" Cubby said

Ohhhhh so that's how she got the Lost Boys to shoot at Wendy…Classic jealous Tink…

"Tink said what?" Peter exclaimed

"She said, you said, for us to shoot it down!"

"Tinkerbell," Peter said. "Tink!"

I followed Peter's gaze and saw Tinkerbell peek out from behind a leaf. She then nervously chimed.

"Come here," Peter said sternly. "You're charged with high treason Tink."

Oh I don't like where this is going….

"Are you guilty or not guilty?"

Tinkerbell playfully smiled and happily chimed, "Guilty."

"Guilty? Didn't you know you could've killed her?"

She looked at him straight in the eyes, gave a big smile, and nodded.

"Tinkerbell…." Peter said as Tink walked across the branch sawing her hips to emphasize she didn't care.

"I hereby banish you, forever!"

My ears stood on end and eyes widened at the word "forever."

Forever! He's banishing her forever! It's not like I condone her behavior, but she can't control her emotions…this is not going to end well.

Tinkerbell twirled around in total shock. She stomped on the ground out of frustration and flew off.

I was about to protest, scold, and yell at Peter for banishing Tink, his friend who has been with him through everything, FOREVER, but Wendy beat me to it. "Oh Peter, not forever."

"Well, for a week then. Come on Wendy. I'll show you the island," Peter said smirking.

Before anymore drama or any other incidents happened I needed to speak with Peter.

"Hey Peter before you show Wendy the island, I need to have a word with you."

"You can talk to me on the way th-"

"Now!" I said walking over and pulling his ear.

"Ow ow ow ow OW OWWW!

When we were finally out of view I released his ear and crossed my arms.

"What the heck was that for?" Peter asked rubbing his ear.

"What are they doing here?" I said pointing a finger at the Darling's.

"What do you mean?"

"Is this because of our argument? And what do you mean she is our new mother?"

"Well as I recall, you said in our argument that you didn't want to be the mother as long I was the father."

I growled at him (literally) and rolled my eyes, "Peter we were fighting I didn't mean any of it, but other than having the title of being the mother, why did you exactly bring them here. I mean do you know what you've done? Do they know what the consequences are for staying here? Do YOU?!"

"Whoa whoa slow down! Listen I brought them here because they wanted to come, they didn't want to grow up."

"Peter you can't just take them away from their family! In their world people know of having a beginning and an end! And here there is no end! They probably want a family of their own when they get older! And don't they know that even though they don't age here their family still ages back home! Peter there is a whole list of reasons why they shouldn't have come! They don't know what they have gotten themselves into!"

"Hey they deserve to be here just as much as you do!"

"Peter I have been here since the beginning of Neverland! This has always been my home, I belong here, they don't!"

"So what you're saying is that I don't belong here because I am not from this world?!"

"No I didn't mean-Peter you know what I mean."

"And I think you know what I mean, they don't want to grow up just like I don't, so why can't they stay here!?"

Great just great! How am I going to convince him now! That's it; there is no way of convincing him. I mean I can't just force them to go home when they clearly want to be here.

My only hope then was that the Darlings would eventually want to go home. I mean if their family meant that much to them they would want to come home right? They don't belong in this world, I am not trying to be mean, but I just don't see it. They would go home eventually I was sure of it now. My only worry was how long it was going to take them to leave.

"Fine, they can stay, but when this all blows up in your face expect a big I told you so."

"Alright," Peter said with a smile. He then flew over to Wendy. "So you said you wanted to see the mermaids."

"Oh yes please!" Wendy said with excitement in her eyes.

They're going to see the mermaids? Wendy might want to go home sooner than I thought.

"Oh, let's go hunting!"

"Tigers?"

"Nah, bears!"

"Nah, bears!"

"Personally, I would prefer to see the aborigines." The John said.

"And the Indians too," Michael exclaimed with a grin plastered on his face.

"Alright John you're the leader," Peter said.

"I shall try to be worthy of my post." And after that John, Michael, and the rest of the Lost Boys went off to find some Indians.

I was about to fly off hoping that this problem would take care of itself, but I felt a hand tug on my wrist.

"Aren't you coming Cly?" Peter said with hopeful eyes.

"Actually I was gunna go back to the-"

"Oh you must come I would love to spend some time with you. I have told stories of you and have always imagined what you were like, but I have never had the chance to actually see you."

"Yeah Cly PLEEEAAASEE!" Peter said folding his hands and giving me his big puppy dog eyes.

I suppose it can't be that bad….

"Ok I'll come, and after all, it will give me a chance to talk to Pearl again. She still has to tell me what Urchin said to Coral."

As we reached mermaid lagoon I was surprised that Wendy didn't die of happiness.

"Just imagine! Real live mermaids!" Wendy exclaimed.

"Would you like to meet them?" Peter asked.

"Oh Peter I would love to."

"Alright, come on," Peter then flew down towards the mermaids and I followed.

"Pearl! Hey Pearl!" I called out.

"Cly!" She swam up towards me and gave me a warm smile. "Soooo did you come just to see me or hear about what Urchin said about Coral."

"Both," I said shrugging with an innocent and mischievous smile.

But before she could tell me Pearl glanced over and exclaimed, "Peter!"

This caused all the other mermaids to clamor around him (including Pearl), so I never got to hear my daily gossip…

As they all gathered around a big rock looking up at Peter Coral asked, "Did you miss me?"

I rolled my eyes at the comment, but I flew over, not wanting to be floating in the air alone, and sat beside where Peter was standing.

"Tell us about one of your adventures! Something exciting!"

"Ok. Wanna hear about the time I cut off Hook's hand and fed it to the crocodile?" Peter responded all too happy.

"Oh, I have always liked that one!"

"Me too!"

"Well there I was on…."

At this point I had zoned out, I heard this story waaaay too many times, not to mention I was there when it happened. Out of boredom I started to play with my necklace that Peter had given me for my birthday around 50 years ago. It had a big bear claw, crocodile tooth, and three turquoise charms embellished with gold, all hanging from a long gold chain. It might look thrown together to some people, but to me it was really special. I was in my own little world until I glanced over and noticed Wendy struggling on a rock trying to get to where we were. I looked up at Peter and he was too much into his story to notice her. Feeling bad just ignoring her I tugged on Peter's leg.

"Uhhh Peter." He looked down at me and I pointed over toward Wendy.

Wendy, seeing that Peter had spotted her, called out, "Oh Peter!"

"Who's she?" Pearl asked angrily.

Oh no, here it comes…

"Oh that's Wendy."

"A girl?"

"What's she doing here?"

And here we go.

"And in her night dress too!"

"Come on deary join us for a swim!" Urchin started pulling on Wendy's night dress.

"Oh please, I am not properly dressed…"

The mermaids started pulling on her night gown and splashing water all over her.

Well at least this might want to make her go home…

Even so I was about to go over and stop this madness because even Wendy did not deserve this kind of treatment, but she had already taken matters into her own hands. She picked up a big conch shell and held it up in the air about to swing.

"If you dare to come near me again...!"

"Whoa Wendy!" Peter said taking the shell out of her hands and tossing it away. "They were just having a little fun, weren't ya girls."

"We were only trying to drown her," Urchin said innocently. I scowled at her, never really liked that mermaid.

"You see."

Ok even I was not going to put up with this. I was going to say something, but I spotted something not too far away from us that caught my attention.

"Well if you think that for one minute, that I'm going to put up-," I flew over and covered her mouth and put a finger up to my lips. I glanced over my shoulder to make sure I was correct, and I was.

"What?" Peter whispered.

"Hook," I said motioning my head in that old codfishes direction.

"Hook!" Pearl exclaimed. And all the other mermaids screamed and dived in the water and swam out of sight.

There is no way I am going to hear what Urchin said to Coral now….

Peter, Wendy and I flew over to a rock where we were not visible to Captain Hook.

"They've got Tiger Lily," I gasped.

"It looks like they are headed for Skull Rock, come on!" Peter said motioning his hand toward Skull Rock.

Peter then started to fly away, but looked back and saw Wendy falling behind, so he grabbed her hand helping her fly. Still looking back he saw I was not following.

"Aren't ya comin?"

"Umm no I have some things to do, you got this right?"

I am not about to become a third wheel.

"Ummm yeah, I guess. Umm I'll see you back at the tree house."

"Yeah, good luck."

He nodded and then headed for Skull Rock. I couldn't help but feel bad for leaving him to recuse Tiger Lily on his own, but he has it all under control….right?
