Not much to say except review and read please! ;) Enjoy! ;)

Time seemed to be an illusion in Never land. The mid night breeze made Erica shiver as she was improperly dressed for the occasion. All was still and quiet accept for her and Peter's footsteps. This allowed her time to think about her decision. Going with a mysterious boy on an unknown island with how many dangers is something that would be considered reckless, a side effect from being around too many pirates. Feeling bold Erica decided to break the silence.

"Don't you ever get lonely?"

"I always have the boys to keep me company."

"Yes but what about the girls?"

"Girls? We don't have any girls, no sense of adventure."

"I beg to differ, she cried defensively. I say it takes a lot of adventure to be in my position."

"And what might that be?"

"Raised among pirates, turned into a fish, traveled to a mysterious island with even more mysterious inhabitants. Sounds like quite the adventure so far."

"Pirates you say?"

"Yes what's it to you?"

"There is a pirate here on the island."

"Really?"

"Along with three heroes', an evil queen, the dark one and his son, and of course the believer."

"There you go saying that again, what's so special about this believer?"

"Never land is dying and his heart is the only thing that can restore magic and save my life."

"You're dying?!"

"If time runs out then yes but I can assure you that won't happen."

"These people… are they enemies?"

"Yes very dangerous, attacked us out of our territory and kidnapped the believer."

"How awful!"

"Indeed."

"Well then I'd like to help you on your quest."

Peter stopped and looked at her with interest, "You'd really help me?"

"Yes I believe in you Peter, even if we just met."

"Wise decision, he said smiling. It seems were here."

Erica stopped and found herself stumble into a small camp. A large fire spewed smoke as 8 or so boys danced around the flame chanting and screaming. Weapons lay unguarded by trees and small houses could be seen through the dim orange glow.

"Attention!"

The boys stopped cheering and immediately stood still, all eyes on Peter.

"We have a new member of the family, her name is Erica."

"Hi Erica! They cheered."

"Hello, she said slightly blushing."

"You may resume the celebration."

So they boys turned their backs on Pan one by one as they danced through the thick smoke.

"What are they celebrating?"

"The believer is in our grasp and will be here shortly."

"Oh I see."

"Now if you need anything I'll just be around—"

"Actually yes there is something I need."

This outburst caught Peter by surprise but quickly masked it.

"Yes?"

"Well I was wondering if you had any clothes you could spar, it's quite chilly out tonight."

"I'll do better than that, I'll make you a nice wardrobe!"

"Peter you must be joking!"

"Oh but I'm quite serious and you shall have every jewel imaginable!"

"Peter!"

"Does this displease you?"

"No not at all!"

"Then I don't see—"

"I'm just don't really like being showered with gifts that's all."

"Very well but don't complain when you those objects girls so desire."

"I don't desire priceless objects I desire a real family, a place where I am truly loved not admired because of simple looks."

Peter was wide eyed and no reply came to her response. Erica was a bit taken back herself and instantly regretted saying those things as her face became a shade of purple.

"Well I…I'll just—"

"Right of course."

"Good, good."

"So it's getting kind of late I'm going to—"

"Yes me too."

"Alright then."

"Okay."

"Good night Peter."

"Night…Erica."

So Erica slipped into a fur outfit with a dark cloak curtsy of the lost boys. She found a nice shady tree and began to climb up it for protection and privacy. Easing herself up on a thick branch she peered down to see the boys were fast asleep in the fire's glow. Her eyes shut tightly waiting for peace but sleep would not come. Instead her mind was racing trying to recap the night's events.

Did I really mean what I said? Sure I was lonely and sure I always felt empty but why now, why bring it up?! Something's just not right about this place. They may think I'm easy going but in all honesty I'm suspicious as hell. First chance I get I take a swim around the island's perimeter and see if I can find these so called other's.

One thing's for sure Peter is the leader here and it seems he controls the others by fear. Maybe Never land isn't as a promised paradise after all. Still even after I said it what did expect was going to happen?!

Silently cursing herself, Erica finally felt her limbs grow heavy as she drifted into slumber. Meanwhile in a high tree house a certain conversation was taking place between Peter and is number one man Felix.

"Who is she?"

"You think I know?! Felix I don't know about this girl, she makes me feel…uneasy."

"If girls were easy we would have them around more often now tell me why

"Who is she?"

"You think I know?! Felix I don't know about this girl, she makes me feel…uneasy."

"If girls were easy we would have them around more often now tell me why our worried."

"She clearly has a good heart and as luck would have it I need a heart."

"The believer—"

"Yes I'm well aware of his heart my problem is I don't need another obstacle in the way and Erica just is a complete mystery."

"So spend more time with her…gain her trust and then see if she's a threat or not."

"Felix that is the best idea you've ever had!"

"Thank you sir."

"Still I can't shake away the feeling I get when I'm around her."

"Magic perhaps?"

"No, no something more powerful, I would be able to tell if she practiced in the arts."

"Well there's one thing powerful enough but I don't see how—"

"What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten already?"

"Forgotten what?"

"This is quite near impossible but true loves kiss could have been powerful enough to save you and—"

"Yes your right she did say she kissed me but that was because she believed it would save me."

"Well it worked didn't it?"

"Yes but I could have been for a number of reasons."

"Right, said Felix unconvinced. You know what I think?"

"Think before you speak."

Felix paused but continued as a smirk crept up his lips.

"I think that Peter Pan is in love."

"But that's impossible!"

"Nothing's impossible."

"We just met it could have been nothing simply a strange encounter of meeting someone."

"And your idea of greeting a stranger is kissing someone?"

"Felix!"

"Sorry."

"Whoever this girl is I will find out more about her. You may leave now."

"As you wish but keep an open mind, there is more than one way to save yourself."

His last words echoed in Peter's mind as he shook his head. He climbed into his hammock and rocked back and forth. Sleep drew near but he stayed awake, his eyes staring straight ahead at the stars. So he pulled out his pipes and began to play to the steady rhythm of wind caught in the woods.

The song was a tune he had once enjoyed in his younger years and now it was a constant reminder of what he was going to lose. Finally Peter's eyes shut and his breathing slowed as he was fast asleep.
