Peter was soon shown to be tucking Wendy in for the night.
"How is she?" Henry asked out of concern.
"I fear she's getting worse, Henry." Peter replied gravely.
"But if I save magic... She'll live?" Henry asked hopefully.
"Yes, but more than that, Henry. If you save magic, you'll save us all," Peter said as he looked the boy dead in the eyes. "But to do it, you have to truly believe."
Wendy coughed a bit, almost as though to provide motivation for Henry into helping out Peter.
"I do." Henry nodded.
"Good, because we don't have much time," Peter smirked. "Follow me."
Henry nodded and soon followed Peter to the main part of the camp as Jay was still tied up and one had to wonder what would happen to him after all of this.
"My brothers and sisters! Tonight, the dream of Neverland will awaken from its slumber," Peter soon announced to his followers as they gave him their undivided attention. "Tonight, the heart of the truest believer shall fulfill its destiny, and with it our destiny. Tonight, Henry saves magic!"
The Lost Ones cheered at that, looking hopeful and excited.
"Oh, no..." Enid frowned from her tower as she looked out her only window. "Get out of here while you still can, kid." she then looked even more worried once she saw that Jay was being held hostage against his will.
"What shall we do with our new hostage?" Felix soon asked his superior, gesturing to Jay as he struggled.
"Seeing as one of the mermaids betrayed us to help The Savior, he could keep an eye on the one in the tower while I'm away." Peter demanded.
"Enid..." Jay whispered suddenly.
"Ah... Sounds like he's been acquainted with The Tower Girl of Neverland~" Peter smirked in realization before nodding. "Then it should be while I leave with Henry."
"Don't you dare hurt Henry," Jay firmly told Peter. "He may not be MY little brother, but he's still my friend's little brother."
"Do as I say or you won't have many friends left on this island... you seem to be the type to think with your brawn instead of your brain." Peter snorted as he looked Jay in the eyes.
"Hey, that's kinda like what you say about me sometimes." Gil piped up suddenly, annoying Peter quickly.
"I know. It's called a cruel irony; like my dependence on you." Peter retorted.
The other Lost Ones chuckled at that while Gil looked dejected and slumped his shoulders down a little.
"SILENCE," Peter hissed at his followers, making them quiet down immediately. "You will look after The Tower Girl and if you value this boy's life as well as your own, you will not let her get away." he then commanded to Jay as he put his arm around Henry's shoulders to give himself leverage against the long-haired boy.
"What do you want with Enid anyway?" Jay demanded. "What did she ever do to you?"
"That's my business and you'll learn not to stick your nose in it..." Peter glared as he walked toward Jay, glaring up at the other boy's eyes despite the latter being slightly taller but he was still able to strike fear into Felix's heart if he needed to and he was the tallest member of the Lost Ones' community. "I have spoken and my word is final in Neverland and you will not interfere with Henry helping me unless you never want to see him again for your precious Blueberry Princess friend."
Jay winced slightly. He wasn't sure what it was, but something about Peter Pan scared him terribly, but he did his best not to show his fear around the ageless boy who was somewhat smaller than he was.
"Come along, Henry... You have a realm of magic to save." Peter smirked as he looked at the younger boy.
Henry looked back at him and began to follow him. Jay looked very worried about Henry, but did his best not to try to attack Peter because it might be bad for both him and Henry if he interfered.
"Come on, I'll take you to Enid's tower... Unless you remember the way over there." Gil said to Jay.
"What? ...Oh, yeah, sure. Whatever." Jay shrugged in response as he sounded defeated in his tone of voice.
Gil nodded at that as he began to lead the way and Jay glanced over his shoulder while Peter began to take Henry over to Skull Rock.
Meanwhile, back deep into the jungle, Regina and Rumple were walking together to head back to the others with the item that Rumple needed in order to defeat Peter Pan.
"You know, despite our differences, I can always count on you to get things done... Unlike the rest of them," Regina said to Rumple on the way through The Dark Jungle. "You were right. They're just a liability. Except for my daughter of course."
"Where are they?" Rumple asked her, referring to the others.
"Oh, well, Pan told them Neal was alive, and, of course, Emma took the bait. Such a waste of time," Regina explained until she realized what she said about Neal. "Oh, I'm so sorry."
"No, no, don't be. He is alive." Rumple reassured her.
Regina stopped in her tracks with shock. "What?"
"Pan wasn't lying. My eldest son is here on the island," Rumple explained to her. "I've seen him."
"You saw him and you... you just parted ways?" Regina asked out of shock. "You realize that he might have a way off the island." she then added as a reminder.
"Let's worry about the travel plans after we get Henry." Rumple replied.
"There's something you're not telling me," Regina narrowed her eyes out of suspicion. "What happened when you saw him?"
"Look, all you have to know is, the next time I see him will be when I'm putting Henry in his arms," Rumple began to tell her as they briefly stopped walking before he looked her in the eyes. "When father and son are reunited." he then concluded before walking ahead of Regina and she soon followed him.
Meanwhile, Evie woke up Dee Dee when it was time to stop resting and follow Tinkerbell through the trail. Dee Dee pouted about being woken up, but she understood and soon began to walk with Evie and the others as they followed the former pixie through the jungle. Harry looked around as he tried to sing his crocodile song to himself to calm down before Carla took his hand and squeezed it to comfort him. They then smiled at each other as they walked together and they hoped to find Henry before it would be too late.
"I'm gonna ask Tink how close we are to Pan's compound." David soon spoke up.
"Don't wanna be surprised by any Lost Ones on patrol?" Goldie guessed.
"Exactly." David nodded.
"I don't blame ya." Goldie agreed with that idea.
"Good idea." Mary Margaret added.
David soon walked ahead of the trail to go talk with Tinkerbell.
"Looks like you two buried the hatchet." Emma remarked as she approached her mother.
"Buried? Uh... I don't know," Mary Margaret replied softly. "We've at least put it away for now."
"So you're really gonna stay here with him?" Emma then asked.
"The thought of leaving you, Emma, it kills me, but there's nothing we can do," Mary Margaret frowned. "If David leaves the island, he'll die."
"So you're just giving up?" Emma asked. "Family means being together, all of us." she then reminded her mother.
"But there's no other way." Mary Margaret gently retorted.
"You can't do that," Goldie spoke up. "I know this is none of my business, but I refuse to let family be left behind or separated. I already lost my brother a long time ago and I don't want that to happen to you guys too."
"Maybe this is just you rubbing off on me, but I think Goldilocks has a good point," Emma agreed. "There's always a way. And I can't believe I just agreed with Goldilocks who broke into a house filled with bears to eat their food and sleep in their beds."
"People are never gonna let that go, are they?" Goldie rolled her eyes.
"Not really, no. At least not in the world I grew up in." Emma retorted with a small smirk.
Goldie scoffed before flinching suddenly. They could hear the foliage rustling as Dee Dee hid behind Evie. Mary Margaret, Emma, and Goldie soon found Killian, Neal, David, and Tinkerbell with their own swords drawn. Evie brought out her own fireball much like her mother's while Harry tried to stand in front of Carla in a fighting stance and Samantha did her best to look brave. Mary Margaret, Emma, and Goldie soon followed suit with the others only to restrain themselves as Regina and Rumple came out from the foliage.
"Well, if this is your version of a rescue party, we got here just in time." Regina snarked a bit.
"What are you two doing here?" Mary Margaret asked.
"Well, same as you, except we actually have a chance." Regina replied.
"Did you find what you had to get from The Little Mermaid?" Evie asked.
"Exactly, my dear," Regina nodded as Rumple showed what they had from his shop after Ariel helped them out. "Pandora's box. It could trap Pan for eternity simply by opening the lid."
"Huh... I've heard of that from school, I never knew it would be something to defeat Peter Pan with." Evie commented.
"Try using a dreamcatcher so you don't wet the bed until you were 14." Harry scoffed slightly.
Neal soon walked over to Emma once he saw his father. "You didn't tell me my father was with her." he then whispered to her.
"I didn't know." Emma reassured him.
"Wait, your father is The Dark One?" Tinkebell asked out of shock.
"He's not The Dark One anymore." Dee Dee piped up bravely.
"That may be so, kid, but he's not getting anywhere near Henry." Neal replied.
"Bae..." Rumple frowned at his eldest son.
"Why? What are you talking about?" Emma demanded.
"There's a prophecy that says that Henry will be his undoing," Neal explained firmly. "He didn't come here to protect him. He came here to kill him."
Everyone else soon began to look shocked about that.
"Mr. Gold, no..." Evie whispered and frowned.
"That's why you didn't want to find Neal before you got Henry back?" Regina demanded from the former imp. "Because you knew he'd spill your secret."
"Everything I did was to protect Henry, to rescue him from Pan." Rumple promised.
"It all makes sense," Goldie glared at him. "You left before we even made shore."
"You wanted to get to Henry first..." Mary Margaret added as she lifted up her bow and arrow.
"To be on his own..." David added as he brought out his sword.
"So no one could stop you..." Killian added as he took out his own sword.
"So you can kill him." Samantha concluded, sounding a bit firm in tone.
"It's not gonna happen, not unless you go through all of us first," Evie warned firmly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gold, but it's for your own good. You know how important Henry is to me even if you are the father of my best friend and were like the father I never had growing up."
"I can explain." Rumple spoke up.
"Please do, but you better choose your next words carefully, uh, sir." Carla added.
"You're making a mistake. I don't care if the boy is destined to be my undoing," Rumple reassured everyone. "I won't hurt him."
"Because that sounds just like you," Regina scoffed at that. "And to think I let you become Evie's godfather."
"Without me, you will fail," Rumple defended. "I'm the most powerful amongst us."
"That's why we can't trust you." Neal retorted.
"I may not know you very well, Mr. Gold, but I've heard tales about Rumplestiltskin not being the one to trust back in The Enchanted Forest." Goldie added firmly.
"Also my father calls you a crocodile." Harry added.
"Well, there's a different reason for that, son, but I agree." Killian nodded.
"If I could give you my dagger, I would, but I can't." Rumple then said softly.
"But you can give me Pandora's box," Neal countered easily. "I don't have to trust you if I could stop you."
Rumple hesitated before he soon held out the box to Neal. "Son..." he then said softly.
"Look at me, you so much as lift a finger to perform magic, you're gonna spend an eternity in this box." Neal warned his father.
Rumple paused before he nodded. Neal then accepted the box before giving it to Goldie and she was going to hold onto it until she looked down at Dee Dee who looked left out.
"Here, kid. Why don't you hold onto this for a minute?" Goldie offered with a small smile as she bent down to the girl's height.
"Are you sure?" Dee Dee asked softly. "Do you trust me enough?"
"You seem grown-up and responsible enough to me," Goldie smiled as she gave the girl the box. "Just hold onto it good and tight and have faith."
Dee Dee smiled back a little at that. "My papa says that faith is like a bluebird," she then said. "You see from afar. It's for real, and as true as the first evening star. You can't touch it, or buy it, or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same, making things turn out right."
"He's absolutely right, kiddo," Goldie nodded as she gently poked Dee Dee on the tip of her nose in a friendly way. "Just hold onto that box until we need it."
"Yes, ma'am." Dee Dee replied.
"Ma'am... Wow... Now I feel old," Goldie chuckled as she stood back up as Neal smiled at her and she caught that. "...What?" she then asked him.
"You would make a wonderful mother, Goldie." Neal commented softly.
"Oh... I don't know about that..." Goldie blushed in response. "...But thank you."
Emma smirked at that before nodding her head at the others. "Let's go." she then said.
The rest of the group agreed at that and soon went along as Dee Dee held onto the box as protectively as she could.
Rumple then stopped Neal from going any further. "Look... you may think you know who you're up against, but you don't." he then warned his eldest son.
Neal narrowed his eyes. "Then tell me. What really happened between you two?" he then demanded.
Rumple paused before he sighed and admitted the truth at long last. "Peter Pan destroyed my father."
Neal's eyes widened at that. After that news was shared, Scarlett could be shown, peeking her head out from the water before she suddenly went under the sea without either of them seeing her as they began to leave Mermaid Lagoon.
The group soon continued to make their way to Pan's compound.
"We need to talk." Emma soon said to Killian once she caught up with him.
"That's not a good sign," Harry whispered to Carla. "My dad says if a woman says that, you're rarely in for a pleasant conversation."
Carla giggled a little at that.
"Harry..." Killian said, giving his son a look.
"What? Am I wrong?" Harry shrugged in defense.
Killian rolled his eyes a bit at his son before he faced the blonde woman who wanted to speak with him.
"There has to be a way for David to leave the island." Emma then said to Killian hopefully.
"Well, there isn't." Killian told her as they continued to walk down the path.
"He told me about your brother, what happened. I know it can't be easy to talk about, but-" Emma then tried to say to the adult pirate.
"Well, then let's not, shall we?" Killian interrupted a bit firmly. "The water that cured David from dreamshade has connected him to the island. If he leaves, the connection is broken. The poison will kill him." he then informed her.
"What if you take some of the water with you?" Carla soon spoke up. "That way he stays connected. He can stay alive in Storybrooke."
"For how long?" Killian retorted. "Once the water runs out, the dreamshade will take his life."
"Unless there was another cure," Rumple suddenly said, making all eyes land on him. "You suddenly interested in what I have to say? Thought I wasn't to be trusted." he then scoffed once he saw that he had their attention.
"You're not, but I'll take my chances." Emma retorted.
"Well, if you remember, I, too, was poisoned with dreamshade by a cowardly pirate," Rumple then reminded and gestured toward a snarky looking Killian. "And yet..."
"Yes, and we know how you cured yourself... with a candle that takes another person's life," Emma memorized and reminded him. "David is not that selfish."
"Oh, how noble," Rumple smirked before he continued to speak. "The point is, after my near-death experience, I discovered much about the poison. I believe I could create an elixir back in my shop." he then added.
Harry and Carla glanced at each other at that before looking back at him.
"What's your price?" Emma asked cautiously.
"Well, this is quite the favor," Rumple smirked. "I'd expect one of equal weight in return."
"No," Neal countered to his father. "When we get back to Storybrooke, you're gonna save David because it's the right thing to do. No deals, no favors, understand?" he then added a bit firmly.
"Fine. I'll do as you ask." Rumple replied.
Emma nodded at that. "I'll go tell David." she then said.
Then suddenly, as if on cue, everyone else came out of the bushes along with Tinkerbell and Samantha.
"A-Are we here...?" Harry asked after a thick swallow from fright.
"Yes," Tinkerbell nodded. "We're here. Pan's perimeter."
"I was afraid she was gonna say that." Harry whispered.
"Relax, Harry. You're not alone this time." Carlos reminded him.
"Yes, we're all in this together until the night falls," Evie added. "We have luck and power on our side."
"Here, here." Lonnie added as she lifted up her warrior sword.
"It's time. Tink will sneak us in the back like we planned. We grab Henry. In and out, simple," Emma added before she looked at Neal. "You good with Pan patrol?"
"Locked and loaded." Neal nodded as he patted his bag in response.
"Okay, let's go get Henry and Jay." Evie said hopefully.
"Kid, do you still have that box I gave you?" Goldie soon asked Dee Dee.
"Sure do." Dee Dee nodded as she brought it out and showed it to them.
"Good, now remember and promise me that you will stay as far away from Pan and his shadow as you can." Goldie then told her.
"But... I wanna help." Dee Dee pouted at that.
"You can help best by guarding that box." Evie told the younger girl.
"B-But..." Dee Dee still pouted.
"If we lose that box, Dee Dee, we can never win." Carla reminded her.
Dee Dee looked soft before nodding at them. "I understand, guys. You can count on me." she then said softly.
The others also nodded to that as Dee Dee kept an eye on Pandora's box.
"You mind if I, uh... borrow this?" Rumple soon asked as he suddenly took Killian's sword.
"Uh, buddy? We had a deal, remember?" Samantha reminded as firmly as she could.
"You said no magic, I agreed," Rumple replied as he held the sword bavely. "But I'm not walking in there with nothing but my good looks."
Dee Dee blinked and blushed a little at that while tittering.
"Now I, on the other hand-" Killian soon started to say.
David then tossed his short sword over to Killian. "Here, in case your good looks fail you." he then told the adult pirate.
Killian then caught it. "Thanks, mate." he then murmured.
Harry snickered a bit at his father.
"You're grounded again, Harry." Killian then said.
"Damn." Harry muttered in defeat at that
"Let's get Henry." Evie soon said as her mother nodded at her in response.
Everyone soon came closer to the camp, beginning to sneak behind as The Lost Ones were talking among each other by their campfire.
"Can I at least use magic on these boys?" Rumple soon asked.
"No." Neal and Goldie replied firmly before glancing at each other and looking away bashfully from each other.
"I'll do it." Regina volunteered.
"You remember the spell?" Rumple asked her.
Off Regina's annoyed look, she soon waved her hand to put The Lost Ones to sleep. After they were down for the count, the group soon came to the camp to look for who they came here for only to be quickly disappointed as Lonnie had her sword ready, looking brave and determined like her mother in the war.
"Where's Pan?" Goldie wondered.
"I don't know," Emma replied before calling out for her son. "Henry!"
"He's gotta be somewhere." David pondered thoughtfully.
"Where?" Mary Margaret wondered.
"Help!" A young voice soon cried out, causing the others to leave the campground and follow it.
"Who was that?" Samantha wondered.
"I don't know, but I'm about to find out." Evie replied as she soon went deep into the jungle and found a certain young girl trapped inside of a cage who gasped and frowned in worry.
"You're an... an adult..." Wendy panted at the sight of Evie.
"Actually, I'm a teenager," Evie clarified. "My name's Evie. I'm looking for my little brother," she then explained. "Who are you?" she then wondered.
"Wendy?" Neal then asked once he saw the trapped girl, coming beside Emma and Goldie.
"Do I know you?" Wendy asked the man out of confusion.
"It's Baelfire." Neal explained to her.
"You two know each other?" Emma asked, sounding rather curious.
"Bae!" Wendy gasped in realization. "Yeah. Yeah, we do," she then answered Emma. "Can it really be you?" she then asked Neal.
Neal smiled at Wendy before grabbing a nearby rock and breaking the cage open. He then hugged the young girl, looking very joyous to see her.
"I thought I'd never see you again." Wendy whispered warmly in the hug.
"What are you... wh-what are you doing here?" Neal asked Wendy tenderly.
"Well, I-I came back to save you." Wendy explained.
"You did that for me?" Neal asked gently.
"Well, I couldn't bear for you to be without a family," Wendy replied softly. "Not after you told us that your mother and father were both dead."
Carla, Carlos, Harry, Evie, and Lonnie all winced and looked over at Rumple nervously since that had to be awkward right now.
"You told her I was dead?" Rumple asked, sounding slightly offended.
"It was easier than telling the truth," Neal admitted and explained. "My own father abandoned me."
Rumple then looked soft at that.
"It's better than your brother being turned into a rat against his will." Samantha snorted in response.
Rumple just shrugged innocently in response to that.
They soon came by the campfire and wrapped Wendy up in a blanket so that they could talk to her and find out what she knew.
"Hey, Wendy, since you've been here, have you seen my son?" Neal soon asked the girl. "His name's Henry."
"And he's my son too." Emma added.
"You have a son?" Wendy asked Neal out of surprise.
"Yeah." Neal nodded.
"Apparently Peter Pan needs his heart." Carlos added.
"Has he said anything about the heart of the truest believer?" Evie soon asked.
Wendy seemed to pause before answering. "No. I'm sorry. He never mentioned anything about a heart." she then replied.
"She's lying," Rumple snarled as he dangerously approached Wendy. "Where is he?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," David then said, trying to stop Rumple from doing something horrible to Wendy. "What the hell are you doing?"
"I've carried enough lies in my life to recognize their burden," Rumple defended and explained. "She knows where Henry is."
Neal looked soft before looking back at his old friend. "Is that true?" he then asked her.
"You don't understand." Wendy frowned in response.
"You're helping Pan?" Mary Margaret asked out of concern.
"He's keeping John and Michael alive, only if I do as he says." Wendy then explained.
"Your brothers." Evie said knowingly from childhood since a long time ago, that was one of Henry's favorite movies along with Snow White and The Seven Dwarves.
"Exactly." Wendy nodded.
"Trust me, whatever he's promised, he will go back on his word." Rumple warned Wendy.
"And why should I trust a man who abandoned his own son?" Wendy retorted.
"Ouch." Lonnie winced as that had to sting a little for Mr. Gold.
"Because your brothers did. They trusted a woman named Belle and her son Ben," Regina told Wendy as Dee Dee showed the box to Wendy. "They helped them get this box so we can defeat Pan."
"They're okay?" Wendy asked hopefully.
"For now, and only if we succeed," Goldie replied. "But we need you to help us so we can also help save your brothers if you trust us."
"Yes. Please, Wendy." Neal added hopefully.
Wendy looked at them before trying to remain calm. "Pan told Henry that... he needs his heart to save magic, but it's a lie. He needs it to save himself." she then answered calmly.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked Wendy.
"Pan's dying. He needs the heart of the truest believer to absorb all the magic in Neverland," Wendy confessed and explained. "And once he does... he will be immortal, all-powerful."
"...I don't think I like where this is going." Evie murmured to herself.
"And what happens to Henry?" Mary Margaret asked Wendy.
"Well, it's a trade," Wendy said. "When Pan lives, Henry will die."
Everyone began to look fearful and concerned about that.
"Okay... Uh... How about a boy named Jay?" Carlos soon asked. "Do you know anything about a boy named Jay?"
"I know that Pan is trying to make him into a new Lost Boy and he's been tasked to look after Enid." Wendy replied.
"Enid?" The others then wondered.
"The girl in the tower." Carla memorized.
"Yes..." Wendy nodded. "Pan kept her for as long as I can even remember because she had a way to grow Sundrop Flowers."
"Sundrop Flowers?" Goldie asked. "What are those?"
"It's a magic plant that has the ability to heal any sickness or injuries, even mortal wounds, and delay aging, though that ability requires constant use of the life/youth-sustaining ability." Wendy explained.
"That at least explains why he kept a girl like Enid on his side." Emma commented to the others.
"But why would he keep her in a tower?" Evie wondered.
"I guess to keep her from escaping?" Harry shrugged in response to that.
"I don't even know why or much about Enid myself aside from that," Wendy replied. "I'm not even sure where the tower is."
"Well, it can't be too hard to find, right?" Lonnie commented. "I'm sure if we find this tower, then we can find Jay."
"Let's just hope it's as simple as that." Carlos remarked.
"That would be great," Carla nodded. "My space in Neverland was mostly in Mermaid Lagoon with the others until you guys took me away from the other mermaids."
"Mermaid Lagoon sounded so nice from what I dreamt it would be like." Wendy sighed and pouted a little.
Dee Dee frowned and gently patted Wendy on the hand in comfort. Wendy looked over and smiled a little at Dee Dee's comfort and support.
"Yes... Neverland seems to sound wonderful from the outside, but it's just a death trap and houses very tense and heartless people." Evie then concluded.
"Don't get me started." Rumple shook his head and rolled his eyes.
"How do we stop Pan?" David soon asked Wendy.
"Yeah, there has to be a way." Mary Margaret added.
"Pan took Henry to Skull Rock, but you haven't got much time." Wendy replied.
"Then we stay behind," David decided. "Someone needs to be here to guard The Lost Ones when they wake up."
"You don't need to stay behind." Emma said to him.
"David's right," Mary Margaret said softly. "You get him home, tell him we love him."
"Tell him yourself, when you get back from Dead Man's Peak," Emma insisted bravely. "Gold can cure you back in Storybrooke. We just need to bring some of the water with us."
Mary Margarert looked soft before grabbing Emma into a hug. Emma then accepted the hug and then grabbed David's hand behind her back.
"And you... you didn't give up," Mary Margaret told Emma warmly before looking over at Rumple. "Thank you." she then added softly.
"Well, apparently, that's the only thanks I need these days." Rumple remarked.
"Tink and I will take care of things here," Killian soon said. "Harry, you better stay here with me too for your sake."
"Thank you." Harry whispered and bowed his head in relief.
"I'll stay too." Carla decided.
"Meet you back at The Jolly Roger when you find Henry." Killian then said to the rest of the group.
"And you guys can come with me to find this Jay kid." Goldie soon said to the teenagers and Dee Dee.
"You guys go on ahead." Evie then said.
"Are you sure?" Carlos asked out of concern.
"Yes, I'm sure... Henry's my little brother, so I should go help find and save him." Evie nodded.
"All right... Good luck." Lonnie replied.
"Luck's got nothing to do with it, but thanks," Evie replied. "Good luck in finding Jay at least."
"You can count on that." Lonnie reassured as she began to look determined and hopeful.
"Promise me if your father and I don't make it back, you get him home." Mary Margaret soon whispered to Emma hopefully.
"We're all going back home," Emma reassured and promised her parents. "Together."
David then kissed Emma before they all soon split up to go and do what they had to do to save Henry and Jay from the wrath of Neverland. Dee Dee put her hands in her pocket only to gasp and look in her hands to see that she no longer had Pandora's box. She then looked around and panicked until Rumple whistled to her to get her attention. Rumple winked at her as he patted on his pocket as though to tell her a secret message. Dee Dee smiled and then nodded at him once she got the message and luckily understood it since she was used to pantomiming and delivering silent messages due to being a ballet student in training and many stories were only told through the music.
Meanwhile, Peter soon rowed himself and Henry over to Skull Rock until they came out of the boat and reached the shore. "Ah, it's been a long time since I stepped foot on this shore." he then smirked once he made it over along with Henry as he tied the boat in place.
Henry followed him before looking into the water as there was a splashing sound.
"Oh, Peter?~" A voice called out.
"Excuse me a moment..." Peter told Henry before walking over and then saw Scarlett there. "What?" he then asked her, whispering loudly and firmly in annoyance in a tone of voice that almost sounded already impatient with her.
"I have a secret to tell you." Scarlett smirked at Peter.
Peter rolled his eyes before he leaned in a bit and then stepped back. "If this is another ploy to make me join you and the girls for a swim, it'll have to wait," he then said before he would hear what she had to say. "I have an appointment here in Skull Rock with Neverland's newest guest."
"The swim can wait, you might wanna hear this~" Scarlett insisted and smirked.
Peter rolled his eyes again before he leaned again. Scarlett then whispered into his ear to give him special information.
Peter listened before he slowly smirked and grinned in an almost Grinch-like way. "You're sure?" he then asked her.
"I'm 1,000% sure." Scarlett promised him.
"Thank you... Now off you go and do... whatever you mermaids do whenever I'm not around." Peter nodded and grinned.
Scarlett nodded in response before swimming away suddenly.
"That girl kinda looked like Scarlett from Evie's school." Henry commented to himself as Peter began to do something.
Peter was soon shown to be drawing a line in the sand with a stick before waving his hand over it, using the magic he still had.
"What's that?" Henry wondered.
"It's a protection spell," Peter replied before dropping the stick as he began to lead the way into Skull Rock. "Now let's go. It's time."
Henry soon followed behind the older boy, wondering what mysteries would await him from here.
