Brittany Meets The Lost Boys
By: Glossy

Disclaimer: See previous chapter
A/N: Hey thanks to all my great reviewers! You all ROCK! The song I used in this chapter is from both of the Peter Pan movies. The one Brittany is singing in this chapter is the version Jonatha Brooke sings on the "Return To Never Land" sound track.


Peter looked at Brittany as her face showed all of her emotions. "I don't know what to say", she whispered. Peter gazed around the island and suddenly got an idea. "Hey, Britt", he said, "Do you want to go meet the Lost Boys?".
"Sure", Brittany responded and gave a quick smile. She took Peter's hand as he flew towards their destination, Hangman's Tree.

They both flew closer to the island until they were there. As their feet touched the ground, Brittany realized she hadn't been on land since she left her bedroom last night. I hope my Mother and Father aren't worried too much, Brittany thought. You left a note, she told herself...don't worry about home now, just have fun. Brittany smiled to herself as she realized Peter was still holding her hand. She sighed quietly. He was so great. Never Land is great; everything right now is great.

As if her thoughts had been jinxed, Peter turned around to face Brittany. She immediately stopped smiling to herself and tried to make her expression just normal, but instead made an idiot out of herself by making herself blush an orangy color. "Um...", Brittany choked as he continued to stare at her. She said the first thing that came to her mind to break the silence. "You can let go of my hand if you want to", she said, her orangy blush turning into a light pink.
"Oh, um....yeah", Peter said letting go of Brittany's hand gently. Peter looked down a little embarrassed as he turned a rosy color.

There was a very long pause. "Come on", Peter said breaking the awkward moment. "We're almost there". "Right", Brittany nodded. They both started walking again. That moment wasn't so great, it was more...embarrassing, Brittany told herself as her blush finally started to fade away.

TinkerBell sighed heavily as she looked at herself in the mirror. Peter only thinks of you as a very close friend, nothing more. She hated them all, Wendy, and now Brittany. It was all their fault that Peter's love and affection wasn't centered around her. They all tried to take Peter away from her. What did they have that she didn't? It wasn't her problem if he chose big dumb ugly girls over her. I love him...her anger fell suddenly. It was none of those girls' fault and you know it, she thought as tears stung her eyes. It wasn't Peter's problem....it was her own.

What did any of those girls ever do to you but try and be your friend? You never really got to know any of them. It's not Peter's fault all those girls like him, including herself. TinkerBell knew she should really just be happy to know that she has his friendship, but she still wanted more.

Tink couldn't keep her tears in anymore, silently she let them fall from her eyes to the ground. Why? She asked herself again. Just why can't he like me? TinkerBell sank to the floor and sobbed into her knees. She looked up at herself once more in the mirror. Why would Peter like you anyway?, she asked herself as she looked into her own now, bloodshot eyes. Brittany...wasn't really that much of a big dumb ugly girl, and TinkerBell knew if she got to know her she probably wouldn't be that bad.

Don't deny the facts, she told herself harshly. Why shouldn't Peter like her? Brittany is a lot prettier than you and most likely not jealous and hot tempered like you either. She seemed all too perfect, Tink thought sadly as another tear fell to the floor. She's perfect...TinkerBell looked into the mirror...and you're just you.

"Here we are", Peter said as he led Brittany into Hangman's tree. "Where are the Lost Boys? I can't wait to meet them!", Brittany said anxiously, looking around excitedly. "I think they're asleep right now", Peter told Brittany as he heard a few snores. "What should we do while we wait for them to wake up?", Brittany asked in a gentler tone. "Here," Peter said, "I'll lead you to my room and play you a song on my Pan Pipe while we wait" he said, also in a softer tone.

"All right", Brittany responded as she followed Peter. Peter lifted up a cloth, the entrance to his room, and let Brittany go in first. "You want to have a seat?", Peter asked as he floated his way over to his hammock. Brittany, remembering she could fly, floated up and landed clumsily on Peter's hammock. Peter laughed. "I guess I'm still a little clumsy at this flying thing", Brittany said giggling a little.

Peter took out his pipe and started to play a tune. Brittany smiled enjoying the song, when Peter stopped playing. "Why did you stop?", she asked, "It sounded lovely". Peter paused for a moment. Why couldn't he just say it? It was like he all of a sudden had no voice when he tried to complement her. Why do I get so...nervous he wondered. Before he could stop himself he said it, "You have a very nice voice, why don't you sing something while I play?", Peter asked almost getting tongue tied as he started to sweat.

There, he thought as a wave of relief washed over him. You said it. Why was something so easy...so hard? Geez, I've never felt this way about anybody before. It was a warm safe feeling he felt. What was this feeling anyway? He didn't know.

Brittany blinked and then smiled. "Thank you...sure, I'll sing something, if you like", she said quietly. Oh my goodness! He likes my voice! Calm down, she thought, that doesn't mean he likes you...in that way....HE LIKES MY VOICE! another voice inside her head shouted. She thought dreamily trying to keep her cool.

Peter started to play the same song that he had stopped playing a few minutes ago. Brittany snapped out of her thoughts immediately as she heard the music. Oh, yeah, I said I was going to sing something. Mmmm, Brittany thought quickly, what matched this tune? Ah ha! Brittany thought as her eyes lit up. I got it!

She cleared her throat and began to sing...

"The second star to the right
Shines in the night for you
To tell you that the dreams you plan
Really can come true
The second star to the right
Shines with a light that's rare
And if it's Never Land you need
It's light will lead you there
Twinkle, twinkle little star
So I'll know where you are
Gleaming in the skies above
Lead me to the land I dream of
And when our journey is through
Each time we say "Goodnight"
I'll thank the little star that shines
The second from the right" Brittany finished slowly and blinked nervously.
"That was great", Peter said smiling. Brittany sighed with relief. Whew! he liked it.

TinkerBell had fallen asleep crying on her ever so tiny bed, but had awoken when Peter had arrived home. She had overheard Brittany and Peter since they first came in until Brittany stopped singing. Her jealously got the best of her again as her face burned red. Who does she think she is?! Just welcoming herself in here! Tink felt like flying over in Peter's room and ripping Brittany's hair out.

Tinker Bell kept her cool and looked out from behind her leaf. Look at her! Laughing it up with Peter like their friends and known each other all their lives!, she thought through gritted teeth. That's it! Tinker Bell thought as she flew out of her room and right into Peter's.

"Hello Tinker Bell", Brittany said cheerfully and waved a little. "Hiya Tink", Peter said as well. Tinker Bell glared and looked at Brittany with fire in her eyes. Tinker Bell took a strike and zoomed right down on Brittany and sure enough ripped about three strands of her hair out.

"Ouch!", Brittany yelped as she turned around quickly. "Tink! what's gotten into you?", Peter said, grabbing her by the wings before she could do anything more. "Get outta here", Peter snapped to Tinker Bell as he let go of her. Tinker Bell tinked angrily in Peter's direction.

"I wonder if something's wrong, or bothering her", Brittany said, concern in her eyes. "She's just jealous", Peter said, like it was no big deal. "She gets like that whenever girls are around me". Brittany nodded, but she was thinking, sure she knew Tinker Bell was probably jealous...but she seemed really angry.

Peter was to lost in his own thoughts to think about what was wrong with Tink; sure he knew something was wrong with her, but he was just so distracted. Why do I feel so...so.... I don't know! Peter had been friendly with girls and had cared about people deeply, like the Lost Boys and Tinker Bell, but...what was this kind of care....?

"Peter", Brittany's voice interrupted his thoughts. "I think Tinker Bell is mad at me, I'm going to go talk to her", she continued to say getting up to leave. Brittany walked out of Peter's room. She knocked on the bark of the tree.
"Hello", she said, "May I come in?"

Tinker Bell tinked annoyingly but still said yes. Brittany was pretty sure that she could come in, not fully being able to understand her. Brittany could not literally go into Tinker Bell's room so she opened the leaf up and looked inside. "I think we need to talk" Brittany said calmly "I can see that your angry with me, but why? Is Peter right? Are you jealous of me?", Brittany asked.

Tinker Bell tinked saying, yes, I'm angry with you; why? You stole the heart of the person I love....yes, Peter is right and I am jealous; got a problem? Brittany blinked understanding her more clearly now. "We don't even know if Peter is in love with me. Love is a pretty strong way to put it seeing that he doesn't know me all that well....And frankly I don't think he's in love with me at all. Now, I won't lie and say I don't love Peter in that way because I really do, but I want to be your friend if you're willing to accept it", Brittany finished slowly.

Tinker Bell tinked a sharp NO, I don't accept and I know Peter loves you. Brittany, kind of catching on to the way Tinker Bell communicated, was able to understand her almost fully now. "Please", she sighed, "I just want to be friends with you; and why are you jealous of me Tinker Bell?", Brittany asked. Tinker Bell tinked back angrily, Because your so perfect, your dumb looks and your pretty voice, he's all ga ga over you; are you blind?

"I am not perfect Tinker Bell", Brittany said, very insulted by Tink's rude remarks as her temper rised a tad "Nobody is". Tinker Bell glared at her and tinked very annoyed with Brittany. Listen, just stop loving Peter and we'll be fine okay?!. "I can't do that!", Brittany snapped, now angry also. "That's like telling you to stop loving him, could you do that?! uh? well?".

Tinker Bell tinked glaring, just leave you big dumb ugly girl before I rip another piece of your hair out. "Fine! I'll leave!", Brittany spat closing the leaf as she stormed off. Brittany didn't know where she was going. She didn't know her way inside Hangman's Tree but she really didn't care, she was so angry she just couldn't see anyone right now...she needed to cool off.

Peter was so confused trying to figure out his thoughts that he hadn't been able to concentrate on what just went on. Peter just realized that the noise stopped. Peter sighed. "Hey Pan", Peter recognized this voice as one of the Twins and of course, the other Twin said "Hey Pan" as well, since they always repeated each other. "We woke up from all the commotion", the other Twin said, and of course the other repeated just that. "What was that all about anyway?", Nibs asked

"I don't know", Peter said, trying to act cheerful in their presence, but it just couldn't shine through. "I've brought your new mother here", he told them first of all. "Will she tell us stories?", Cubby asked. "Yes", Peter told him. "Where is our mother?", both the Twins asked. Peter thought for a moment. Where was she? "I don't know, but, let's go find her" Peter said as the Lost Boys followed him as they searched for Brittany.

Brittany sat in a room she did not know of. She was very angry trying to cool off. She sat upon a log just trying to ignore what just happened. Big?! Dumb?! ugly?! Ugh! The nerve of that pixie! Calm down, she told herself; is it worth getting upset about? You can't let her ruin your day. Now, she thought, starting to feel calmer, chipper up and go back to having a good time.

She still felt a little edgy, but after the short discussion she had with herself she felt more calm. Brittany decided to leave the room, as she was walking down the hallway she bumped straight into Peter. The Lost Boys smashed into Peter, falling over. Brittany almost fell, but Peter caught her around the waist.

It was an awkward position to be in, actually. Their noses touched; they were so close. Brittany tried to hide her blush but it didn't quite work. Oh, geez, Peter thought as he felt the heat on his cheeks rise, there's that feeling again. He let her go as soon as she got her balance back.

The Lost Boys looked at Brittany slowly, her hair was a semi-golden brown in a crimped style, and they noticed her light pink lips and her rosy colored cheeks. She wore a pink long sleeve shirt with a lacy white collar with a pink rose on it. Her pants were silk, with different shades of pinks with a tad of white, and had the pattern of roses on them as well. Brittany walked over to the Lost Boys as they stared at her pink white slippers. "Hello, my name is Brittany LockHeart, how do you do?" she asked smiling. The Lost Boys still stared, as she looked quite different from Wendy, and her outfit was a lot different too. Little did they know she was from America and not England.

"Aren't you going to say hello back to your new mother?", Peter said, after waiting awhile. "Hello", they all said together. "I know who you all are", she said with a nod and pointed to them one by one as she said their names. "You're Tootels, you're Slightly, you're the Twins, you're Nibs, and you're Cubby", she finished remembering them from the stories she knew. Tootels, who was very small, mind you, didn't talk much.

The Lost Boys nodded and smiled back at her; they were starting to warm up to her. "So," Brittany started as she bent down on one knee to reach their height. "What do you guys want to do?". "Let's go hunting", Slightly said. "Now now", Peter said, "I'm not quite sure a lady would want to go hunting". "Oh, surely I will", Brittany said cheerfully. "I'm not that kind of girl; I may be girlie but if you boys want to do something, I'm up for it".

The Lost Boys cheered as they headed for their weapons. Brittany giggled. Peter was about to lead the group out when Brittany realized something. "Oh, wait a minute", she said and they all stopped walking, not even reaching the door. "I don't have any weapons to defend myself with" , she said.

"Don't worry, we'll protect you, mother", Cubby said in his raspy voice. Brittany smiled warmly at them all, her eye's glistening. Peter nodded. "When we get back remind me to get you some weapons, okay?", he said. Brittany nodded and they headed out.

Tinker Bell watched them leave. How completely revolting. I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! How could she loose her anger so easily?! She was still very furious with Brittany. She will pay, Tinker Bell thought as her eyes narrowed. Tink looked at herself in the mirror, eyes going more narrow; looking more evil. She suddenly had an idea. Tinker Bell knew exactly how to plan Brittany's doom.
