Smee took Tinkerbell and Cherry to Captain Hook's ship. Captain Hook played the piano as he welcomed the girls, trying to seem like a gentleman.
"Okay, Hook, what do you want?" Cherry folded her arms and glared to the pirate captain who was Peter Pan's sworn enemy.
"Oh, nothing, Miss Cherry; I just wanted you two here so then I can tell you both something very important." Captain Hook said.
Cherry and Tinkerbell looked doubtful, but shrugged, deciding to humor the crooked pirate man.
"You see, I admit defeat to Peter Pan and his new ally." Captain Hook told them.
"Really?" Cherry asked.
"Yes," Captain Hook nodded to her. "Tomorrow, I leave the island, never to return."
Both Tinkerbell and Cherry looked at the evil pirate captain out of surprise surprised to hear that he would never return to Never Land. Smee mumbled, though he sounded rather drunk.
"And that's why I asked you over, me dears," Captain Hook told the pixie and human girl. "To tell Peter, I bear him no ill will. Oh, Pan has his faults, to be sure. Uh, bringing that Wendy to the island, for instance."
"Hey, you leave my cousin alone!" Cherry sneered.
"Oh, I mean no offense my dear, but you see, Peter and Miss Bell here have been through a lot together." Captain hook told her.
Tinkerbell pouted and nodded sadly.
"Why, rumor has it that already she has come between you and Peter." Captain Hook said to the pixie.
Tinkerbell sniffled and looked rather miserable.
"But what's this, tears?" Captain Hook noticed. "Then it is true!"
"Tink, Wendy would never do that!" Cherry tried to reason with Tinkerbell.
Tinkerbell looked up to Cherry with a "You sure?"look.
"I know Wendy, she's not like that..." Cherry defended.
"Oh, Smee," Captain Hook continued to guilt trip Tinkerbell. "The way of a man with a maid. Taking the best years of her life and then casting her aside like an old glove!"
"Ain't it a bloomin' shame?" Smee started to cry.
Cherry then remembered of how Peter's face went red after his and the Indian princess's noses touched.
"I suppose you have a tale to spin yourself, Miss Cherry?" Captain Hook noticed her shift in expression.
"I don't wanna talk about it..." Cherry said in a suddenly bitter tone of voice which she usually spoke with whenever she seemed jealous of someone or something.
"Come now, dear, you can tell us." Captain Hook said.
Cherry glanced back and sighed softly once. "I... May have liked Peter more than I intended..."
Tinkerbell looked up at the perky goth shocked and surprised. Cherry sighed, looking away then and folded her arms. She seemed to be in the goth part of her title.
"But we mustn't judge Peter too harshly, me dears," Captain Hook soothed. "It's that Wendy and Atticus who's to blame."
"What did Atticus do?" Cherry glared then.
"He's gone and abandoned you to become Peter's new ally..." Captain Hook reminded. "You may never see him again..."
"W-What do you mean?" Cherry asked.
"Atticus seems to like Never Land more than you..." Captain Hook put his arm around her. "He might betray you for staying here instead of going back home with you where you belong..."
"He wouldn't do that, he's smarter than that..." Cherry defended, though not very strongly.
"Oh, really?" Captain Hook asked. "Tell me how did he behave with the princess?"
"Politely as always..." Cherry narrowed her eyes.
"Okay, but did she do something to make him and Peter to do something you never saw him do before?" Captain Hook asked.
"Eskimo kisses..." Cherry folded her arms.
"Pardon?" Captain Hook was not familiar with that term.
"It's when you rub noses together." Cherry explained.
"Ooh and did his face turn red?" Captain Hook asked which made Cherry frown.
"Yes..." the perky goth muttered with her eyes shut.
"Typical boy behavior," Captain hook shook his head. "Isn't it, Mr. Smee?"
"Indeed it is, Captain, indeed it is." Smee nodded.
"What do you mean?" Cherry asked.
"Oh, you know, boys will be boys..." Captain Hook shrugged.
"What are you saying?" Cherry narrowed her eyes.
"The captain is saying that Atticus will want to stay here in Never Land." Smee said.
"He'd never do that!" Cherry glared before looking slightly unhappy. "Would he...?"
"He's a typical boy." Captain Hook told her.
"Atticus is anything but typical..." Cherry slowly shook her head.
"Or so you thought." Captain Hook told her.
"He would never..." Cherry looked back.
"Hasn't he ever done anything that made you think you'd never see him again...?" Captain Hook asked her.
Cherry rubbed her arms, not answering the question, but she had to admit that it sometimes happened.
"So it has?" Captain Hook smiled evilly, seeming to know what she was thinking.
Cherry shut her eyes, not saying anymore.
"As I thought." Captain Hook said.
"Okay... What do you want?" Cherry asked.
"Oh, nothing, we just must save the lads from themselves..." Captain Hook said. "But how? We have so little time... We sail in the morning."
"Indeed." Smee said.
"Sail! That's it, Smee!" Hook then exclaimed like he had an idea. "We'll shanghai Wendy and Atticus!"
"'Shanghai Wendy and Atticus', Captain?" Smee asked, getting his bottle stuck on his finger.
"Take them to sea with us," Hook continued. "With them gone, Peter will soon forget this mad infatuation and it might convince Atticus to come to his senses and go back to his old best friend! Come, Smee, we must leave immediately. Surround Peter's home-"
"But Captain, we don't know where Peter Pan lives." Smee replied.
This caused for the evil pirate captain to stop in his tracks now just remembering that. "Great Scott, you're right, Smee!"
Tinkerbell grew animated suddenly.
"Tinkerbell...?" Cherry grew nervous.
"What's that, my dear?" Captain Hook smiled to the pixie. "You could show us the way? Why, I never thought of that!" he then leaned next to his minion. "Take this down, Smee."
"Take this down, Smee..." Smee did the same, before realizing he had to write down directions to Peter Pan's hideout.
Tinkerbell looked to Cherry, telling her in pixie language to trust her on this one.
"Okaay... If you say..." Cherry was unsure about this, she seemed to know what Tinkerbell was saying now.
Tinkerbell put ink on her shoes and started to walk around it to give directions on Captain Hook's map to reveal Peter Pan's hideout.
Captain Hook began to repeat of what Tinkerbell was telling them. Smee jotted this all down on paper with a quill to take note. Captain Hook got nervous when he saw they had to hop and skip across Crocodile Creek. Tinkerbell was then getting closer, but went slow for anticipation.
"WELL, GET ON WITH IT!" Captain Hook slammed his fist down from impatience, but returned his gentle smile to keep up appearances. "Continue, my dear..."
"You must promise not harm Peter!" Tinkerbell told Captain Hook in pixie language.
"Yeah, don't hurt Peter!" Cherry agreed, then looked curious. "Did I just agree with a fairy...?"
"I musn't harm Peter?" Captain Hook repeated. "Madame, Captain Hook gives his word, not to lay a finger-"
"Or a hook." Cherry narrowed her eyes.
"Or a hook... On Peter Pan." Captain Hook then added with a small smile.
Tinkerbell nodded to him, then marked an X to where the hideout was.
"That's where the hideout is." Tinkerbell said in pixie/fairy language.
"Ah, Hangman's Tree," Captain Hook grinned darkly. "So that's the entrance to his hiding place..." he then grabbed Tinkerbell in his hand and decided to trap her, dropping his nice guy act, revealing it was all just a trick. "Thank you, me dear. You've been most helpful."
Cherry's eyes widened, she then ran off to get away and warn the others. "I better hurry!"
"Smee, get her!" Captain Hook demanded.
"Aye-Aye, Captain!" Smee saluted before going after Cherry, stopping her from leaving.
Cherry ran as fast as she could to find her way around Never Land, hoping not to get lost, but due to Smee's weight, she couldn't get off of the ship.
"No!" Cherry groaned as she was stuck.
Smee took Cherry right back.
"ATTICUS!" Cherry yelled as she was held hostage.
