Chapter 10

(No one's POV)

"It's sooo hot!" Elizabeth whined dramatically.

Ever since the sun came up this morning it had been blistering. Of course, none of the boys were bothered by it since they could simple take off their shirt without anyone giving them a second glance. Even Henry took off his shirt! But with Sophia and Elizabeth, they couldn't simply take off their shirts since they were girls. So here they were, dying from the heat and sweating like crazy, while the boys didn't even looked a bit bothered by the balmy weather.

"Tell me about it," Sophia said. She was shielding her eyes from the sun that shone between the leaves. "Can't we go swimming or something?"

"Swimming you say?" Both the girls jumped a bit when they heard Pan's voice from behind them. They turned to look at him. Pan was looking at them, arms crossed over his shirtless chest.

"Yes, swimming. It's so freaking hot, and we're practically melting; and this time not over you Peter," Elizabeth said. She was trying to look anywhere but his bare chest, which was harder than she thought- not even to mention his happy trail. That little trail of dark hair that went from his bellybutton down to below his waistline was rather distracting as well. She was surprised that she could make out coherent sentences at this point.

"Just to clarify, I don't melt over you. Only Ellie does," Sophia said, raising her hands and rolling her eyes. Pan smirked at Elizabeth when she met his eyes, her cheeks turning a bit redder than she already was from the heat. He thought the blush was cute on her cheeks.

"Anyway, maybe a dip in the sea isn't such a bad idea," Pan said, looking past the girls just in time to see Felix return from the jungle. He was out getting some firewood since they were running a bit low. Peter beckoned Felix to come when he had put the firewood that he had gathered on the pile.

"What is it?" Felix asked as he approached them, just as shirtless as the others. Sophia met his eyes for a second, but quickly looked away, blushing a bit as well. When she looked at Elizabeth she saw that her sister had a teasing smile on her lips.

"Shut up," Sophia whispered, shoving her sister lightly. Elizabeth just stuck out her tongue before turning her attention back to the boys.

"Elizabeth and Sophia want to go swimming," Pan said to Felix. Felix smirked, looking down at them.

"Guess we can't let them go alone, it could be dangerous you know," Felix said half serious. The twin stood, looping their arms together.

"Don't worry about us, we'll take Henry," Elizabeth said.

"And you know that we can take care of ourselves," Sophia added.

"Plus, I'm not leaving my sisters half exposed with two half nude boys," Henry added as well, grabbing everyone's attention. They all turned their heads to see Henry stand behind them, arms crossed and glaring at Pan and Felix.

"Then you're coming with us," Pan said with a bright smile. Both the girls raised an eyebrow at him at the same time, matching each other's expression.

"Okay," Henry said carefully. "But I'm not taking my eyes off of you two for a second."

"And they say we're creepy," Pan joked. Felix chuckled, turning to Sophia and extending his hand while making a small bow.

"Shall I lead the way, milady?"

Sophia smiled, placing her hand in his. "Of course, my dear Sir. I wouldn't have clue to where to go to otherwise."

Pan turned to Elizabeth, holding out his arm for her. "May I escort Your Highness to the beach?"

"Oh, that would be delightful, your Grace," Elizabeth said, also smiling as she took his arm.

Henry stared after them for a second as they walked into the jungle before he followed them. It didn't take them long until they arrived at the beach. The girls shielded they eyes from the sun with their hands, but smiled brightly as they heard the calming waves of the sea; as well as to see the cold blue water plash against the yellow sand.

Elizabeth turned to Peter, smiling sweetly. "Peeeter? Could you maybe do us a favor and poof some swimwear for us?"

"What's wrong with what you're wearing?" Felix asked, genuinely clueless on why they would need special swimwear.

"We don't want to get our clothing soaked," Sophia replied, smiling up at her innocent Lost Boy.

"Then take it off."

"Felix, I gather you know a bit about the differences between boys and girls," Pan said.

"Yeah, but I just don't get the problem."

Pan sighed heavily, waving his hand. Green smoke consumed the girls for a few second before it disappeared and revealed the twin in bikinis. Elizabeth had a green one with a flower pattern and a strapless top. Sophia's was purple with shorts and the top being hold up by a string that went around her neck with beads attached to it.

Sophia grinned at Felix, who was staring at her with wide eyes and his mouth slightly ajar, as she walked passed him. "We just feel a bit more comfortable in this," she said, patting his cheek before running to the sea.

Elizabeth turned to Peter. "How did you know?"

Peter stepped closer, placing his hands on her waist. "The spell I used gave you the swimwear you desired. You made this on your own, I had no say in it. Although I am quite fond of your choice."

"I have good taste," she said before stepping back, and following her sister. Both Peter and Felix stood there for a second admiring their girls. That time was short lived when they heard Henry clear his throat behind them.

"If I see you two with my sisters doing something I don't like, I swear I'll end you right on the spot," Henry said, his voice dangerous and his gaze shooting daggers at them. With that he walked passed them, his expression turning a lot brighter as he joined his sisters in the cold water.

"That threat didn't sound hollow," Felix said, glancing to Pan.

Pan grinned, shoving his friend. "Since when did that ever stop us?"

Felix grinned as well. "Race to the water?"

"Definitely."

(Sophia's POV)

Sophia ran into the cold salty water, enjoying the way it made her shiver. She closed her eyes for a second and took a deep breath. That peaceful moment was interrupted when Elizabeth tackled her from behind, causing them to both fall forward into the water. Sophia yelped as the coldness of the sea hit her skin. Elizabeth laughed at her, but before she could push her sister underwater Henry approached them, propelling water in their faces.

"Henry! Stop!" they both yelled as they tried to get away from him. Henry suddenly grabbed them around their waist, lifting them out of the water and started walking to the deeper part. Sophia tried to free herself out of his grip, but he held her too tight. When she looked over at Elizabeth she saw that she didn't have much luck in getting free either.

"Henry let go!" she laughed as she slapped his arm.

"You're going to regret this," Elizabeth said, still trying to wring herself free.

"Don't worry, I'll let you two go," Henry said as he stopped at a deeper part of the sea. In other words; a freezing spot. Sophia squeaked as she felt the ice cold water brush her skin, and clinched onto Henry so tight that he wouldn't drop her.

"Don't you dare drop me," she said, her fingernails digging into his shoulder.

"Woops," he said, smirking as he let go of Elizabeth. Elizabeth screamed as she hit the water, emerging not long after.

"That water's freezing, you arse!" Elizabeth yelled at Henry, grabbing his arm and trying to pull him further.

"Ellie stop! I don't-"

"Too late." Sophia was suddenly grabbed out of Henry's arm by Felix. His arms secure around her waist as he jumped with her into the subzero water. The moment they reached the surface again Sophia turned to Felix, slapping his chest while he laughed.

"You stupid idiot, I hate you," she said as she pushed him back, splashing water into his face. However, this did nothing to let the smile fall from his lips- as it only grew. Sophia tried to look annoyed, but couldn't help it as she joined him. She just couldn't not smile when he looked so happy. And now that she thought about it, this was the first she had seen him laugh like this.

"Come on, my Little Queen," he said as he swam closer to her. "Weren't you the one who suggested the swimming?"

"Yes, but-" she stopped herself when Felix suddenly had his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. Her hands came to rest on his shoulders as she looked at him, feeling her cheeks warm up under his gaze rather than from the sun.

"But what?" he said in a low and quiet voice, slowly leaning in as he let his eyes drop to her lips.

"But…" she whispered as she found herself leaning in as well, about to close her eyes when suddenly water was splashed into their faces. Sophia let go of Felix shoulders as she wiped the water out of her eyes. When she looked up she saw her one and only big brother standing there, arms crossed, while glaring at Felix.

"I warned you," he growled at Felix.

"And I didn't listen," Felix said with a smug smile. Sophia quickly swam over to Henry to keep him from attacking Felix.

"Hey, where are Pan and Ellie?" she said quickly, hoping that this would distract him long enough to get Felix a safe distance away from him. However, it was just a distraction, but when she looked passed Henry she actually couldn't see them anywhere.

"Darn it," Henry whispered to himself before shooting one last glare to Felix, and turning to look for Elizabeth. Sophia and Henry both knew that their sister may look innocent, but she was anything but. Especially when it came to boys. One in particular- Peter Pan.

"So," Felix started, swimming closer to her again. "Where do you think they could be?"

"Don't know, you are the one here who knows this island, not me." She turned her head to look at him, grinning. "Let's go find them, I love an awkward interruption. Don't you?"

"I can't say I don't."

(Elizabeth's POV)

The moment Henry got distracted by Sophia and Felix, she and Peter went off to have some more privacy. She knew Henry would keep a close eye on them, so the moments they had to slip away were the ones she would take full advantage of. Peter led her behind this giant cliff wall. She looked up as she swam after him. It was truly beautiful with the sun above them, no cloud in sight. Under the cliff it was cool as it was shielding them from the sun. As soon they were out of sight of the others, Peter turned to her, a knowing smirk on his lips.

"So, we're alone now," he said, moving closer to her. She swam closer as well, looping her arms around his neck.

"We are," she purred, licking her lower lip before biting down on it. She could feel his hand underwater caressing the skin on her back, pulling her closer to him. "What now?"

"I had something in mind," he said with a low voice, closing the space between them and started kissing her. Right now she wanted to be close to him, as close as possible. The kiss soon turned heated, and the cold water around them did nothing the cool down the heat between them. Peter moved away from her lips, following her jawline until he reached her neck and still nipping down her skin.

Before anything more could happen though, they were interrupted by a pair of idiots who sneaked up behind them. They placed their hands on their shoulders, and pushed them underwater. They separated instantly and swam back up, coughing as they reached the surface.

"Soph, you're insufferable," she said to her sister when she turned, seeing her laughing.

"You'll thank me later," Sophia said when her laughter had died down a bit. Elizabeth wanted to lunge at her sister, drag her underwater, but before she could Sophia quickly swam back to Felix. Not a few second later did Henry appear from behind the cliff wall, and was still coming closer as he swam.

"There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you," he said to Elizabeth before looking at Peter with wary eyes. "Did anything happen?" he asked no one in particular.

"Don't worry Henry, Sophia and Felix birth control works perfectly, you won't become an uncle any time soon," Sophia joked, high-fiving Felix before winking at her sister. Elizabeth felt blood rush to her cheeks as she glared at Sophia, she was going to kill her.

Peter on the other hand felt his heart sink to the bottom of his stomach at the implications of their words, and even if he took it literally- he still felt like he was going to be sick. He tried to ignore it at least for now and swallowed the lump that was forming in his throat.

"Nothing would have happened," Elizabeth hissed.

"I don't want to hear about it," Henry interrupted before anyone else could say something. He turned to Peter, and for once was his overprotective brother stare not to be found in his eyes. "Pan, did you know there was an abandoned pirate ship not far from here?"

"Abandoned pirate ship?" Peter repeated, sharing a look with Felix. "I don't recall seeing one on these parts of the island."

"Me neither," Felix said.

"Well then, let's go exploring," Sophia said like the enthusiast she was, motioning for Henry to lead. Henry turned and started to swim in the direction of the ship. Elizabeth splashed water in Sophia's face when she passed, but got a double amount back from her and Felix. She coughed as they continued swimming, glaring after them.

"Don't worry about them," Peter said when he came beside her. He lifted his hand out of the water, smirking while mischief shone in his eyes. When she looked back at her sister and her boyfriend, she saw a giant wave of water approach them from behind, and the next moment they were washed over by it.

Elizabeth laughed as she watched the two come to the surface and couch, turning back to them with a glare. She just waved at her sister, a mischief grin on her lips. She then turned to Peter and kissed his cheek.

"You have to teach me how you do that."

"I will, but not now."

(No one's POV)

They arrived at the pirate ship not long after. Pan looked at the ship, having never seen it before. Felix didn't recognize it either. The made their way on board and started looking around. There was splintered wood of the hull, the scratches of weapons on the port and starboard sides of the ship, as well as the chipping paint that seemed to be a weary dull color. Not to mention the brown spots on the deck- most likely dried blood.

"Stay close to each other, there may be still pirates aboard," Pan warned, taking Elizabeth's hand. Elizabeth bit her lip as he looked down at her, but their moment was broken when Henry took her other hand.

"I'll be accompanying you two then," he said with a half teasing, half serious look.

Elizabeth groaned. "Why don't you go bother Soph and Felix?"

"Because I know that they won't go farther than a kiss, not after what happened with Soph barely a day ago."

"You can't be serious," Elizabeth whined, letting her head fall back.

"Don't worry my gorgeous Blondie, let me show you another one of my many magic tricks."

Peter smirked, raising his hand and letting them vanish in green smoke. Henry huffed in frustration, and decided to go exploring on his own. He'll come across them eventually. Henry continued to make his way below deck. This ship was incredible and so immense, almost as big as Killian's ship. He wandered around a bit. He was trying to open some doors- some were locked some were open, but he would not be entering any of them. There wasn't really something inside that caught his eyes. Henry opened another door, but this time he didn't walk away. Instead, he walked inside, his eyes wide as his mouth fell slightly ajar.

"Hey Henry, look what we-" Sophia said, but stopped when she saw what he was looking at. "Wow… that's a lot of rum. I don't even think dad could go through that much in his whole life."

The whole room was filled with barrels and bottles of rum. Whoever these pirates were, they had probably shipwrecked because of the amount of drunken men on board.

"Okay, let's go before any of you start drinking," Sophia said as she grabbed Henry's arm, pulling him out of the room while pushing Felix back. She closed the door behind them.

"Why can't we drink?" Felix asked her with raised eyebrows.

"Because you'll get drunk, and if you're drunk- you'll die."

"If you're going to quote Mean Girls than at least do it right," Henry said with a teasing tone.

"You get the point," she huffed, pushing the boys away from the rum filled room. "Now let's go find Ellie and Pan."

(Pan's POV)

It was already dark, and the group of teens had gathered around a campfire that Peter and Felix had prepared after the latter found his friend and Peter's girlfriend. Peter was feeling exhausted, more than usual, but he ignored that for now. His magic would restore back to what it was at the beginning of the day eventually. Maybe a bit of sleep would help as well. He sipped from the half coconut, absently stoking Elizabeth's head that rested on his lap.

Felix sat with Sophia not far from them, and from the looks of it he was far from exhausted. He was laughing with the dark haired twin as he used two coconuts as ears, saying he was a bear. Peter chuckled a bit, but much more he didn't say. He looked over to Henry, who was lying stock-still in the sand, not even moving a single muscle. Apparently he had sensitive skin and got sunburned easily. Even from their place, he could see how red the poor bloke was. Peter looked away from him, and back at Elizabeth. She looked tired as she watched her sister and Felix joke around with the coconuts. She noticed him staring at her so she turned her head, meeting his eyes.

"Are you tired?" he asked quietly.

"No," she said before she yawned, causing him to grin at her. "Okay, maybe just a bit."

"Then try to sleep."

"But we still have to go back to the camp," she said, her voice becoming more quiet as she spoke until it was a mere whisper.

"I'll carry you," he whispered, bending over to place a kiss on her forehead. Elizabeth hummed as her eyes drifted close. Peter smiled softly, admiring his beautiful little pearl. He looked up again when he heard someone yelp beside him, seeing Felix and Sophia laughing on the ground. Peter had apparently missed something, not that he really cared.

Still, he smiled as he saw his second-in-command laugh as he held a half coconut out of the dark haired twin's reach. It wasn't normal for Felix to laugh as much as he did now. The first few years he was on the island he didn't even smile. After they had become good friends Felix had been more open to him, occasionally showing a bit emotion, but still not much.

So seeing him like this, so carefree, unguarded and happy, Peter couldn't help but feel happy as well. Felix was like a brother to him, he wouldn't know what to do without him by his side- his wingman. He may have denied it a few week ago, but since the twin's arrival things had only gotten better for them.

"Hey Pan," Felix called, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Maybe we should be going back to the camp."

He nodded. "Yeah, we should."

Sophia stood, walking over to Henry and stepping on his stomach. Henry let out a grunt of pain as he flinched away from her.

"Come on Big Bro, we're going back to the camp. You can either join us, or stay here," she said, crossing her arms and tapping her foot in the sand.

"Just give me a second, please," Henry grumbled, carefully pushing himself up. Peter started gathering Elizabeth in his arms and stood, holding her steadily against his chest.

"Looks like my sister is out again," Sophia said quietly before turning to Felix. "Can you carry me too?"

"Only because it's you," Felix said before kneeling down, and swinging her over his shoulder, turning to Peter. "Ready to go?"

"This was not what I meant," Sophia said, but Felix and Peter ignored her.

"We still have Henry," Peter reminded him, pointing at the lifeless sack that had fallen back into the sand after Sophia had walked back to Felix.

"Can't you just poof him back?"

Peter looked at Felix a few second before swallowing. His magic had been weaker than usual, especially after he had used it all day to impress Elizabeth. However, he didn't want to show that. So he kneeled down, placing Elizabeth on the ground so that he had his hands free. He summoned the bit of magic that he had still left, and poofed Henry back in his tent. If he had actually landed on the bed was another question. He picked Elizabeth up again and came to walk beside Felix, back to the camp.

"I'm still here, remember?" Sophia said, huffing when both the boys ignored her again.

"Did you hear something?" Felix asked.

"It was probably just a mosquito or something."

"Who are you calling a mosquito, earthworm?" Sophia reached over and slapped Pan on his head.

"Wow, easy there or I'll let you walk," Felix said, readjusting his grip on her.

"If you just carry me normally than I wouldn't be able reach him."

Peter chuckled as he fastened his pace a bit, causing Felix and Sophia to walk behind him. Not long after he did that he arrived at the camp, and immediately went to Elizabeth's tent. She wasn't that heavy, but he was tired, and his muscles were starting to give in. He laid her down on her cot. She however had other ideas, and clung to him like her life depended on it. Peter gently unraveled her fingers from his body, and kissed each one of her little fingers before covering her with a thin blanket. He bent down, pushing the hair out of her face before kissing her forehead before he got up again.

"Sleep well Blondie," he whispered before straightening himself and left her tent.

(Felix's POV)

Eventually Sophia had convinced him – more like forced him – to carry her back to the camp like Pan carried Elizabeth. Not that he minded. Because now when he looked down he would he her beautiful face resting against his chest as she absently played this the feathers in his hair. She was starting to become tired, and he had to admit that he liked the sleepy look on her. Like she was just like a child; sweet and innocent.

They entered the camp and Felix went straight to her tent. He placed her down on her cot and kneeled down beside it, brushing the hair out of her face as he admired her.

"Felix?" she said softly, her fingers lightly brushing against his cheek.

"Yes?"

"Can you stay here tonight?"

"As much as I would like that, I don't think it's the smartest move with your brother merely a tent away. But I promise I'll wake you tomorrow morning."

Sophia smiled, nodding her head. Felix moved forward to place a kiss on her forehead. Instead of pulling away from her he moved down her face, brushing his nose with hers before kissing her soft lips. She kissed him back lazily, as if she wanted to kiss him but also wanted to sleep. He chuckled softly when he pulled away, looking at her.

"I'll leave you to sleep then," he whispered before stepping back.

"Don't wake me to early," she mumbled, shifting until she was in a more comfortable position. Felix smiled to himself.

"I wouldn't dare, my Queen."
