Disclaimer: Dust off supposedly can freeze flies if you blast them enough, its getting them to stay in the same spot that's tough!


The day was gorgeous, the sun was shinning brightly. There was word that the entire crew of the Jolly Roger had managed to catch a cold. Aurelia figured that Jax had been up to some nasty tricks, but that was only a theory. A theory she was almost a hundred percent sure was correct. Thus, the boys and Lia thought it was a perfect day to play a game. Peter was sneaking in the greenery, blending almost perfectly. He slunk around like a cat, pretending like he was extremely smart, and sneaky.

There it was. It was bright blue color was flapping proudly in the wind. Its colors stood out brilliantly against the greenery it was surrounded in. It was just begging to be taken, and luckily, Peter would be the one to snatch it. They were playing capturing the flag, peter had been sent to go get the blue teams flag, while his twin, Nibs and Cubbie guarded the red flag. The flying boy had sworn to stay upon the ground and not fly, or else it wouldn't have been fair. Aurelia ruined all the fun of cheating, and if he thought correctly, the girl would have been proud enough to think the flag was hidden well enough, and everyone had gone in search of the red teams flag. Peter quickly walked over to the flag and just as he was reaching out to grab it, he felt himself being forced to the ground. Peter landed on his back harshly and bit his lip as a shock of pain overwhelmed him. He struggled against what was holding him down but the solid weight on his stomach didn't seem to want to move any time soon.

"Honestly Peter, you really need to work on your footwork. I heard you coming five minutes ago." Aurelia's voice sounded. Peter groaned.

"Did I fail to mention that I was the captain of my school's capture-the-flag team? We were the best in the country!" Aurelia gloated.

"How nice for you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a flag to capture," Peter struggled under her weight.

"No, you don't. But Tootles does. Go, Tootles!" Aurelia situated herself comfortably on Peter's chest while Tootles ran quickly past them and into the red territory. The girl smiled in triumph. Peter sighed resignedly, figuring he'd be like this for a while.

"So how did you know where I was?" Peter finally asked casually.

"Did we forget I was a thief? My senses are trained to pick up any form of unwelcome movement," She said with a grin, tapping his nose, "besides, twigs kept snapping as you were walking, and you were breathing pretty loudly, " she trailed off.

They were rudely interrupted when Tootles came up, hollering at the top of his lungs waving a red flag tightly clutched in his fist.

"Excellent Tootles! We WIN!" Aurelia cried jumping up happily, Slightly and a twin with a blue bandanna on ran over to her and cheered happily. Peter glared angrily.

"I don't like capture the flag." He grumbled to himself. Aurelia looked over and giggled.

"You're just a sore loser Peter!"

Nibs, Cubbie and the other twin rushed over, panting.

"Aww.. well we'll win next time Lia!!" Cubbie announced. Aurelia smiled and nodded.

"Alright.. we can try! Now.. there was one area of the island that I haven't explored yet…"

"WOW! Exploring time!" Slightly called, punching his fist in the air. The rest of the boys cheered and Peter shrugged nonchalantly.

"Alright.. if we have to.." Aurelia glared at Peter.

"So who won?" Jax asked as he flew over to them. Aurelia grinned and raised her hand. Jax looked at Peter.

"You let her win?! Peter it's a disgrace to our image of being better at things than -" Jax's chauvinistic speech that Peter couldn't understand anyways was cut short when Aurelia pinched him, sat him on her thumb and flicked him into the sky.

"Honestly he's such a sexist pig." She muttered, "come on I'll show you where I was talking about." Aurelia paused, spun around to get her bearings and headed southeast from the center of the Island. The boys followed in line, Peter flew slowly next to Aurelia, curious as to where they were going.

"So what is it Lia?" Nibs asked.

"Its like this swamp area right between your tree and the harbor where Hook is docked." Aurelia responded. Peter suddenly stopped, Aurelia bumped into him, thus causing a domino effect, ending with Tootles falling on his rear.

"Whats the deal?!" Aurelia demanded, throwing her hands onto her hips. Peter seemed frozen to the spot. Aurelia waved a hand infront of his face.

"Hellooooo"

"You've gotta be kidding! That's crocodile creek!" Peter yelled out, finally snapping out of his weird shock.

"Eh?" Aurelia asked, tilting her head to the side in confusion. Peter began to wave his hands around dramatically, to further his point.

"Crocodiles, every where! Ready to bite your ankles off at every moment. At every corner. You have any idea how dangerous it is to go there?" Peter demanded. Aurelia shrugged.

"Alright we don't have to go there!!" She said, annoyed, "yeesh, you'd think I suggested we go throw ourselves off the nearest cliff.." she muttered.

"I don't see whats so horrible about crocodiles anyways.."

"Crocodile Creek is named such because of the high population of crocodiles in that region. Crocodiles are predators with few non-human enemies. The jaws of crocodiles are powerful enough to crush the bones of small animals. Certain crocodiles are some of the largest reptiles on earth, growing up to 7 meters long and 1000 kg in weight. For these and other reasons, crocodiles are not cute and cuddly! Stay away, Lia!" Cubbie responded(thanks to Encarta.com). He did not notice the blank, shell shocked faces staring at him. Everyone's jaws had dropped nearly to their toes.

"He.. said something intelligent.." Nibs stammered. Aurelia grinned.

"Alright Cubbie, I'll stay away from the creek. I promise!" With that said the group laughed and ran towards the boys hideout to pig out.

****************
Peter looked around quietly to see Aurelia asleep leaning against the wall, with Tootles in her lap, the rest of the boys were snoring slightly. Tinkerbell was tucked tightly in her bed. He quietly snuck out of the hideout and walked towards the Harbor. The moon was not out and the stars were able to shine in their full glory, not having to compete with the glowing orb. Peter continued on his journey towards his goal.. The idea of danger appealed to him, especially after hearing all that information that Cubbie provided on crocodiles. Peter would walk because he wanted to be as invisible as possible. He heard the constant splashes made in the creek up ahead and almost stumbled in to the dark murky water. A bandits grin lit up his face as he decided it was time to play with a couple of crocs.
**************

A few minutes later Peter found himself in a bad situation, crocodiles were not the nicest creatures, especially if one woke them up from a peaceful sleep. Peter HAD to have picked on the scariest largest one there was.. and now that croc was coming closer and closer.

Peter jumped up to fly away. As he flew, he was yanked back to the ground. Peter looked around wildly to see what the problem was. His foot was stuck under a log. This wasn't good.

20 feet..

He yanked and yanked, but nothing gave. Peter was getting worried now. This really was NOT good..

15 feet..

Just then Aurelia burst from the trees she sprinted over towards him, and began to push the log away from his foot with all her might.

"Hang on Peter!" She cried, straining against the log. His eyes widened.

"Aurelia! You're insane! Get out of here!" He exclaimed. She shook her head

10 feet..

"Aurelia get out!! You'll be killed!!" Peter bellowed angrily. This time the girl completely ignored him and continued with the task in front of her.

The log was just finally coming loose, one more good push and it would fall away.

5 feet..

The crocodile was opening its jaws. Aurelia threw her entire weight into it, and the log finally gave way. She stumbled slightly, finding herself practically inside the crocodiles mouth. Peter grabbed her hand and jumped into the sky just as the crocodiles jaws snapped closed.

"Idiot!" Peter cried out as he landed by the hang mans tree. Aurelia had been holding on to him as tightly as possible and whimpering softly, although trying to hide it, "why did you put yourself in that much danger?" he demanded, "stupid move Lia!" Aurelia threw her hands on her hips in anger. Well how did you like that?! She saved his butt and all he could do was yell at her! Why that no good inconsiderate- Peter grabbed her suddenly and hugged her fiercely.

"You had me scared Lia! Don't do that again!" he whimpered. Aurelia was frozen to the spot, stiff as a log, slowly bringing her own arms around him.

"I'm sorry Peter.. "she said quietly, " lets just go back to sleep and forget the whole thing." Peter nodded against her hair and slowly let go. Peter's face had brightened considerably as he jauntily walked back towards the hide out. Aurelia stared after him.. Now what in the bloody hell just happened here?
