Slightly:
Slightly could barely look at Rose as he went and sat down beside her. He just wanted to curl up in a ball and cease to exist! Of all the girls in his class, he had to be partnered with her! He was bound to make a fool of himself. Rose had red-blonde curly locks which surrounded her face, and she had beautiful, blue eyes behind her glasses. It was her eyes that truly captivated Slightly.
He sat down beside her and she asked, "Are you alright? You're looking awfully pale." Michael, who was in the same year as Slightly and whom just so happened to be in this class, sat on the far end of the classroom and he was grinning from ear to ear. He had just chosen his partner too. Her name was Elizabeth and she was considered the most popular girl in their grade. Slightly knew Michael couldn't stand her though. They often wondered if Elizabeth had a crush on Mike, because she would often make eyes at him and tried to flirt. Michael couldn't be less interested though.
Slightly stammered to answer Rose's question, "I…uh…stomach ache." She raised her eyebrows in concern, "Something you ate?" Slightly would have laughed under any other circumstance. The "stomach ache" he had claimed his pale complexion to be the cause of, was in fact, butterflies. He shook his head, "I don't know what's going on to be honest." Her best friend, Sarah, sat on the other side and he heard her whisper, "Can we swap partners? Look who I just got!' It turns out Sarah had just gotten Edward. He was the geekiest guy in their class and James felt sorry for him. He didn't have many friends but James seemed to be the person Edward spoke to.
Rose whispered to her friend, "Hey be nice! He could be a really nice guy." This made Slightly like her even more. She caught him listening to the conversation and so he quickly glanced away, pretending to be listening to what Mrs. Berry was saying. Everyone had finally been partnered up and Mrs. Berry was assigning topics, "Rose and James, you'll be doing Othello." Slightly groaned, "That's the longest play in the history of Shakespeare!" Rose rolled her eyes, "It's also one of the most iconic. There's a lot we can say about it." Slightly shrugged and then Mrs. Berry delivered the jaw-dropping news, "Not only will you all be researching the topic you have been given, but your partner and you will be reading the play together and you'll be presenting it at the end of the term." There was a massive groan from everyone and so Slightly was a little pleased that he wasn't the only one not looking forward to this. However, he noticed that Rose had shown no sign of detest. She was sitting quietly in her chair, paying rapt attention to all the information Mrs. Berry was saying. This girl was going to be the death of him! He just wished he had Peter to help give him so sort of advice.
Peter:
Tiger Lily screamed in frustration, "I'M princess of Neverland! Why does the person ruling always have to be male?!" Peter raised his eyebrows and scowled in disgust at Tiger Lily's behavior. He commented, "You know, princess, acting like a brat isn't going to endear you to me at all." The princess scowled back, "I'm am so over trying to endear you to me, Peter, because I've realized it's impossible." Peter smirked, "Good! It's about damn time!" She scowled and Peter had to admit, he felt quite pleased by the fact that she had finally come to her senses and realized it was never going to happen with him.
He strode towards her and towered over her, now that he was an adult, and said, "You listen very closely, Tiger Lily. If you ever try to mess with Wendy and I again, I will make certain the new Prince will take care of you, and not in a nice way." Tiger Lily rolled her eyes and pushed him away from her, "Fine. Leave then. Return to precious Wendy. See if I care."
For a moment he actually felt sad because he felt like he was losing a friend. But then the moment vanished and he shrugged, "I intend to return to her. Neverland is no longer my home." Peter turned to Shaman Shiera and she asked, "Who are you thinking will take you place, Peter?" Peter grinned and replied, "I have the perfect person in mind!" Shaman Shiera smiled happily, "Who Peter?" He beamed and replied ecstatically, "Kele!"
Wendy:
Wendy wrote her first exam and she felt like she'd done alright. As she walked out, she thought of Peter and suddenly her thoughts were connected to his in a flash! She gasped out of surprise. Wendy and Em had finished at the same time and Emily frowned, "Wendy? Are you ok? I mean I know the exam was tricky…but I don't think it was that bad!" Wendy shook her head and said hoarsely, "No…not that. Peter." Emily's eyes widened and she led Wendy to a bench outside the exam room. It was actually the bench in the alcove Wendy had shown Peter on their first day of reuniting.
They sat down and Wendy said, "I'll tell you in a minute. I just need to focus on something." Emily nodded her head and Wendy closed her eyes, 'Peter? Peter can you hear me?" There was silence for a second and then Peter whispered back, 'Yes I can. Why are we connecting, Wendy? I'm in an important conversation…"
Wendy grimaced and replied, 'I'm sorry. I just had an image of Tiger Lily in my brain and then you two talking. I'm not sure what about though." She could feel Peter smiling kindly and he replied to her, 'Tiger Lily was saying she gives up on hunting me. She's over me, I think…" Wendy beamed happily, 'Oh how wonderful Peter! What made her realize?' Peter shrugged and sighed, 'I think she's tired of chasing me to be honest. She knows it will never, ever happen between us." Wendy laughed, 'About damn time!' Peter nodded in agreement and grinned, 'Exactly what I said!"
Silence fell between them as Wendy asked, 'So…I wonder why we're connecting?' Peter supplied her with the answer, 'Probably because I just discovered how to leave Neverland for once and for all." Wendy gasped and her eyes widened as her hand covered her mouth in shock! She asked Peter eagerly, 'HOW?!' Peter explained and she nodded fervently, keeping up with all the new information. She somewhat squealed internally, 'So when do you think you'll be back?!' Peter responded just as gleefully, 'As soon as I can convince Kele to take my place. We still have to wait for the full moon so that Shaman Shiera can do the chant. But it will be worth the wait!' Wendy nodded in agreement, "Without a doubt!'
They disconnected and Wendy assumed he had returned to his conversation with Tiger Lily and Shaman Shiera. Emily asked, "What's going on, Wendy?" She beamed happily and caught Emily up to date with what Peter had just told her.
Tiger Lily:
Tiger Lily huffed, "Wendy. Blasted it all Wendy!" She had just had that delightful conversation with Peter and her grandmother about how she wasn't going to be The Princess of Neverland, and here she fuming about it! She strode along the shore of the beach and felt the cold water lap at her ankles. She hadn't noticed a small rowing boat row up behind her.
Suddenly, she felt a cold, icy hook on her shoulder and she jumped in surprise! She knew who it was without him having to speak. He chuckled, "Princess, I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb you. It's just been about a monts since I've had feedback on Pan's whereabouts. I'm sincerely hoping you haven't…forgotten our deal." Tiger Lily shook her head and replied slowly, "No…Hook. That's not the case. It's just that Pan is proving impossible to find."
Tiger Lily bit her lip and Hook raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure of that my dear? The island is only so big and I'm just worried that you've changed allegiances again." Tiger Lily shook her head slowly and tried to put on a brave face, "Not at all. It's been proven that trying to find Pan when he does not want to be found is a challenge. The island seems to be protecting him." Hook raised an eyebrow, "Really? Well mark my words, princess. You better return Pan to me by the eve of the full moon, because if you don't, my mates and I will come and search the island looking for him."
Tiger Lily nodded and stepped away from Hook, "Yes. We'll have him by then." Hook smirked and replied, "Are you sure? I don't see your tribe out looking for him?" The jungle was in fact, silent, and Tiger Lily scowled at Hook. He grinned and lifted his hat, "Till the eve of the full moon, my dear." Then he hopped on his rowing boat which Smee was rowing and they headed back to where they came from. Tiger Lily sighed in relief! She had indeed changed allegiances. She just wasn't about to divulge that to Hook.
A/N: I'm sorry for the delay in this chapter! It's been a crazy week as I'm finishing off my semester at varisty and I have exams around the corner! Eeek. Anyway I wanted to make this chapter a good one! Seems like Tiger Lily changed sides…surprise surprise. Truthfully I don't think she ever really was on Hooks side. Her allegiance will always be with Peter even if she doesn't realize it! Anyway, please let me know what you guys think will happen! Will she end up being the Princess of Neverland? Or will it be Kele?
