After escaping Hook, Peter and Becky let their 'passengers' go down a slide from the top of the tree. Jane screamed in fear as she slid down the slide. Becky joined Peter at the bottom to catch one of the girls. Chris laughed as she actually did like the slide and this was a lot more fun than home already. Becky caught Chris first this time and smiled at her younger charge. Jane screamed until Peter caught her and she looked dizzy.
Peter set her straight then and grinned. "That was fun, huh?" he asked her. He then put on a hat. "Lost Boys, fall in!" he called like a sergeant in the Army.
Chris laughed and smiled up to Becky.
"Did ya enjoy that?" The older girl asked Chris.
"That was so much fun!" Chris giggled. "It's much better than the slide at recess!"
There then came young boys, all dressed like animals such as a fox, rabbit, two raccoons, a skunk, and even a bear.
"Oh, be careful, you're going to fall!" Jane gasped to the little one dressed as a skunk.
"Sound off!" Peter called.
"Slightly!" The fox announced.
"Nibs!" The rabbit one said.
"The Twins!" The raccoons said together.
The bear slid around until he hit the floor. "Cubby!"
The skunk smiled shyly toward Jane.
"And that's Tootles!" Slightly announced, pointing to the little skunk.
Becky gently put Chris down and then smiled and crouched down on one knee and held her arms out to Tootles. "Toot!" she grinned.
"Boys, this is Jane. She's gonna stay here and be our new mother and tell us stories, and so is her friend..." Peter grinned. He knew Becky needed no introduction, as the only difference was she got a bit taller and was now around his age.
"What do you mean by-" Jane started but was interrupted.
Slightly and Nibs came running up to Jane and Chris, wanting them to tell them a story. Tootles giggled to Becky as he seemed attached to her already.
"Oh, um, I don't know if Jane would want to tell a story..." Chris spoke up quietly as she knew how her cousin got.
Becky scooped Tootles up and hugged him, but then turned him playfully upside down. Peter went and sat in his 'throne'.
"Actually, I'm afraid I'm not very good at telling stories." Jane said, a little awkwardly and slightly apologetically.
Tootles giggled to Becky.
"Ah, it's okay," Cubby replied. "We're not very good at listening to stories."
"Hmm..." Chris pouted to that slightly. "Just like me during mathematics."
"I know. Let's play a game instead." Peter suggested then.
Becky giggled and tickled Tootle's stomach before straightening him out again and giving him another hug. Slightly and Nibs looked at Cubby, and then to Becky and Tootles with a grin. Tootles nuzzled up to Becky.
"Yes, let's!" Chris agreed. "I love games!"
"Red Rover! Red Rover!" The raccoon twins suggested.
Becky then moved Tootle's so he could sit on her shoulders, making sure he wouldn't fall off, but that if he happened to get tired, he could fall asleep.
"Nah, something else!" Slightly drawled slightly.
"Let's play 'No More Hitting Cubby on the Head'." Cubby suggested before glaring to the other Lost Boys.
Tootles hugged Becky and nuzzled up against her.
"We could hunt for treasure?" Chris shrugged.
Nibs hit Cubby on the head with a grin.
"Good idea!" Slightly said to Chris.
"Yeah! A treasure hunt!" Peter grinned. "I hid it really good this time. You guys will never find it." he then added.
The kids all cheered and jumped around Jane, happy to be playing.
"No, no, no, and no!" Jane told them, sounding like a true grownup.
This made the Lost Boys stop in shock and dismay of what Jane said.
"No?" Chris asked her cousin. "Did you just say no?!"
Tootles firmly frowned to Jane and stuck his tongue out at her. Becky even looked surprised.
"You remind me of someone I know," Jane told Tootles softly. She then started to run out. "I have to go home." she said sadly and left the room.
Tootles looked curiously to Jane.
"We can't go yet!" Chris told her cousin.
Tinker Bell seemed to smirk to Jane. Jane continued off, leaving the room. Becky frowned slightly.
"What's the matter with her?" One of the Lost Boys asked.
"I don't know. She acts kind of like a... Grown-up." Peter said, looking confused a little. Even Becky never acted like an adult.
The Lost Boys were disgusted with that word like it was profanity.
"Jane, please don't leave..." Chris pouted to her cousin.
Slightly looked disgusted too. So did Nibs.
Becky sighed softly. "Wan' me ter go an' talk to 'er?" she asked Peter.
"Nah, Becky... I will... C'mon, Tink." Peter said, though his tone was curious. How would Jane react?
Jane gasped at some fish who looked down from the ceiling, then continued on. She got out of the tree and then made a plan to make a raft and gather supplies so she could leave. Tinker Bell nodded to Peter. Chris sighed as she wished Jane would believe in the miracles that Never Land had to offer. After a little while, Jane had managed to build a raft and get supplies. She even was following the list she made.
Slightly showed Chris around the hideout, as Peter's third in command, after Tinker Bell. Becky was telling the other boys a small story, though she was worried about Jane. Chris smiled to the fox boy as he was kind enough to show her around as she seemed to want to stay here.
"Do you like it here so far?" Slightly asked her.
"It's all I've wanted and more in my wildest dreams..." Chris said as she looked all around the site.
Slightly grinned.
"I knew it had to be real, Aunt Wendy and Father said so." Chris smiled.
"Wendy was a friendly girl," Slightly nodded, merely friendly. "And John was a good leader while Peter was busy." he said.
"What about Uncle Michael?" Chris replied.
"Michael wasn't much older than Tootles, but he was nice too." he said.
"I did hear that Uncle Michael was the youngest..." Chris said then.
Slightly nodded.
"This is incredible though, I always knew this place had to be real, but I had no way of getting here." Chris said.
"Well, you can stay here if you want." Slightly told her.
"I would love to." Chris admitted.
Slightly grinned. "Great, when he's back, I'll tell Peter." he said.
"Okay." Chris smiled to the fox boy.
Slightly grinned, and continued to show her around. Chris smiled to Slightly as she was shown around. Slightly showed her a few secrets she would need to know too. Chris smiled to Slightly as he was very helpful to her and she seemed to love it here a whole lot more than home. Slightly grinned in a friendly way. Chris seemed to blush from the grin.
"So, that's the base, want to go see anywhere else?" Slightly asked.
"Hmm... What else is there?" Chris pondered.
"Well, there's the Indians, mermaids... We could go on an adventure." he said.
"Adventures are fun..." Chris smiled. "Do you have any treasure maps?"
"Nah, we know the island off by heart and it's like Hide and Seek with the treasure." Slightly said.
"This is harder than I imagined it would be..." Chris pondered.
Slightly grinned. "We could see if Peter and the other boys want to play it too." he said.
"Fair enough... Just anything but staying in all day, I did that enough at home when Uncle Edward went out to war." Chris grinned back.
Slightly smiled and nodded.
"Shall we go outside then?" Chris asked him.
Slightly nodded.
"Come on, boys, a hunting we will go!" Chris proclaimed.
Slightly chuckled. Chris smiled as she rounded up the other Lost Boys so they could find Peter and explore.
Becky looked at the boys. "Okay, you guys go play." she smiled.
The other Lost Boys cheered and scattered along to do what they wanted to do right now. Becky smiled and then smoothed out the green dress she had been given by Peter, the same style as his tunic, but shin length and with tall brown lace-up boots. She decided to maybe go visit the mermaids, but she would let Chris know first. There was a male fairy who had short and frizzy scarlet hair in beige clothing, almost tan, who was flying from Captain Hook's ship and heard some news and was going to alert the nearest person in Hangman's Tree and came across Becky.
"Oh, 'ello." Becky said to the fairy with a small smile.
"Oh, um, hello there." the fairy replied as he floated toward Becky with a small smile.
"Are yer alrigh'?" Becky asked the fairy.
"I've just overheard words from that codfish, Captain Hook." the fairy replied.
"Wot's 'e up ter?" Becky frowned then.
"Hook is coming to find Peter to get rid of him for good and maybe do something to a girl named Becky." the fairy said, not realizing he was talking to said girl.
"Go find Peter and tell 'im... I'll go scope out 'ook." Becky told the fairy softly, figuring she best check it out.
"Yes, ma'am." the male fairy nodded and came to look for Peter.
Becky flew carefully to the pirate ship and then hid somewhere close by so she could listen to any plans the pirates had. Peter was talking to Jane, trying to get her to stay as he wanted to be friends. The male fairy led Becky around as he acted like a Tinkerbell companion to her, even though he was a boy and Becky was a female.
Becky looked at the male fairy then. "I though' you were going ter tell Peter... Okay... jus' if anythin' 'appens, go find Peter." she told him quietly as they neared the ship.
The fairy nodded to Becky as he was going to listen to her from now on. Becky flew to where she could hear anything Hook would say, to try and overhear his plan. Captain Hook grumbled about being foiled and had to put a stop to Peter Pan and his friends for making a fool of him. Becky wondered what he was going to do for this, and to what he had planned for her.
"Smee, pipe up the crew," Captain Hook decided. "We're going ashore to find Peter Pan!"
"Fairy, go warn Peter!" Becky whispered, planning on trying to distract the pirates long enough for Peter to be prepared.
The fairy nodded to Becky and soon flew off. Becky flew to a hiding spot where she could pop out and surprise and distract the pirates. Peter had whisked Jane off to where they could get the lost boys to help Jane fly home. Jane looked annoyed, wanting to go home, but not believing a human could fly. The fairy flew out and looked all around while looking for Peter to warn him of what Becky had discovered.
Becky popped out of her hiding place when Hook came out of his cabin. "Oh, look, TIS A CODFISH!" she smirked and shouted.
"What?!" Hook looked out from his ship as he overheard something.
Becky smirked, her hands on her hips in a womanly, but childish way too. "Yer a codfish." she told him.
Hook glared right down at Becky. "Was that you?"
"Yep." Becky smirked, then flew up out of reach before he could grab her.
Hook glared up at Becky. "I'll let you join that scurvy brat, Peter Pan!"
"Ye can't catch me, yer ol' codfish!" Becky smirked.
"I'll get you!" Hook glared.
Some others looked curious and confused of Becky.
"Try it." Becky smirked.
"You testing my patience, little lady?" Hook glared. "Why don't you fight me back unless you'd rather be back in the kitchen with your mommy?"
Becky, who like Peter where Hook was concerned, scowled and flew down closer pulling out her own knife.
Hook glared at Becky as he drew out his own sword. "You had your chance!"
"Why don't yer fight me like a men 'stead of a codfish?" Becky retorted with a smirk.
"Why don't you run off like the brat you are?" Hook glared as he swung out his sword to get at her.
Becky dodged it and countered. "I ain't a brat, I ain't an adult jus' yet, but not quite a child." she huffed as she did.
"That makes no sense..." Hook replied.
"Ye mus' be dumb then." Becky smirked.
"At least I'm not a skinny little girl." Hook retorted.
"Ye think I is skinny?" Becky asked then smirked. "Thank yer." she smirked and kicked at him with her booted feet.
Hook growled and tried to grab her in the process. "SMEE!"
"Y-Yes, Captain?" Smee asked as he rushed over.
Becky tried to use his grabbing of her foot to knock him over. Hook stumbled and fell from that before he could finish his command. Becky smirked and tried to fly off again before she could be caught fully.
Hook soon stood back up and glared at Becky. "She is a worse thorn in my side than Pan!"
Becky gave a curtsy in the air, with a mocking smile. "Why, thank yer." she smirked.
Hook snarled as he grew quite impatient with Becky. Becky smirked at him.
"Throw a net on her!" Hook told Smee.
Smee nodded and then with the help of the crew caught Becky in the net.
Hook smirked as he was sure he had Becky now. "Once I get you, you'll pay for your insolence."
Smee and the other's started to pull her down. Becky struggled and tried to cut at the rope.
"Gotcha, Girly." One pirate smirked as he was helping pull down Becky.
Smee looked to Hook. Hook grinned darkly as this was actually working. Smee jumped out of the way as he had almost ended up 'catching' the knife. Becky struggled and bit a pirate as he touched her shoulder.
The male fairy kept searching high and low for Peter as he was giving Jane a ride on his back while flying.
Peter noticed the fairy. "What's the matter?" he asked, seeing the worry the fairy had.
The fairy soon told Peter what Becky told him to tell him.
"That old codfish," Peter scowled. "Where is Becky now?" he wondered.
'Around Hook's ship.' The male fairy replied in Pixie language.
"Jane, let's get the Lost Boys and go fight Hook." Peter grinned.
"W-What?" Jane gasped.
The male pixie nodded as he looked worried about Becky since she was alone with Captain Hook and his men.
