Tasuki's Girl: Thanks for the compliment, I'm eager to know too since I don't find out until I write :o) here's a new chapter.

Disclaimer: Don't own Peter Pan characters.

Waking in the morning instead of the feeling of skinny arms around her she noticed these arms were thick and big and were heavy. When she wasn't able to get up, she shifted until she was able to turn and saw that it was Brent who was holding her. The memory of the last nights events came flooding back to her. Peter Pan, his plotting of rescuing the kids, oh my goodness, Peter was going to storm the ship, she had to warn… but first she had to get up.

"Brent, wake up," Amie pushed at his arm. The only response was a snore. "Brent, get off, you're heavy." Amie groaned pushing harder.

"Amie?" Came a voice from the doorway. Amie leaned over trying to look around Brent's arm to see who was there. Samantha's face came into view and she hid a smirk as she looked. "Do you need some help up?"

"Please," Amie said. Samantha, with the help from Amie, was able to get her out from under Brent's arm, who then only snored louder and rolled over.

"Can I get dressed in your room?" Amie asked. Samantha nodded and Amie grabbed a simple dress then followed Samantha. Once cleaned up and dressed Samantha started to put on her make up making Amie wince.

"I'm not wearing that today," Amie said making Samantha freeze in putting it on herself.

"But you must," Samantha protested. "The Captain will not be pleased if you decide not to and look like one of those Pan kids. Especially you Amie, you still look so young."

"And I know, but maybe if I only used a little of the make up, lemme try something on you, please?" Amie pleaded. Samantha sighed and surrendered the brush. Amie took it and put some color on Samantha's cheeks and then a little color, some blue to bring out her eyes. Standing back, Amie surveyed her work then grabbed the khol brush.

"Now I don't know how well this part will come out," Amie said, then paused. "In fact I'm not even going to try or I'll ruin the work I did. Take a look, tell me what you think." Samantha turned to look in the mirror and liked what she saw. She smiled and looked up to Amie.

"I like it," Samantha said. "Let's go find Hannah and I think she'll like this much better too." The girls were giddy as they raced down to find Hannah and found her in the main dinning room for woman with a few others. They gasped seeing Samantha and Amie realized that she wasn't wearing any makeup herself.

"Samantha, that's…" Hannah paused at a lost for words. "You're half made up."

"You don't like it?" Samantha asked.

"I'm not sure," Hannah circled her looking. "I think that I could like it but I'm not sure what the Captain would say."

"Say about what?" Everyone turned to find Captain Hook standing in the doorway. The woman all seated put on their cheesiest smiles for him as did Samantha and Hannah. Amie smiled but only halfheartedly afraid of what Captain Hook would say. He walked over and closely surveyed Samantha.

"Who did this?" Captain Hook boomed. Amie slowly raised her hand. "Don't do it again, you're looking too close to the brats around Peter as it is and this." He pointed at Samantha who looked ready to cry. "Go put a decent face on woman and stop blubbering, and you," Pointed to Amie. "What is your name? Ann?"

"Amie," She whispered.

"Come with me, Amie," Captain Hook said and turned. Amie looked at the others and slowly followed the Captain to his cabin. At first she was ready to tell him of Peter's attempt to board the ship but now she wasn't so sure. Inside Captain Hook sat down while Amie looked around.

"Smee!" Called the Captain.

"Yes Captain," Smee squiggled in and stopped short seeing Amie there. When Captain hook pointed to a chair, Smee sat down and just watched.

"How old are you Amie?" Captain Hook asked.

"Twenty two, just about," Amie said.

"And how do you know of your age?"

"Mary Bell kept record," Amie replied. "You can ask her and she'll show you."

"Not anymore," Smee said then shut his mouth. Amie looked at him alarmed then back to Captain Hook.

"What happened to her?" Amie asked alarmed. "Captain?"

"She is gone," Was all Captain Hook said. "She has passed." Amie's eyes glazed as she slowly sat down on her knee's.

"Get up Amie, I still have questions," Captain Hook paused as the sound of bells was heard outside. "Oh not now, confound that Peter Pan!" Captain Hook got up and Smee followed him put side. Amie went over to the door they went out of, and looked to see the pirates all in a chaos and children, running around the ship.

"I found one!" One yelled pointing at Amie. Amie looked behind her then realized he was talking about her when he grabbed her hand.

"Follow me and Peter will save you," He said.

"No you don't understand," Amie protested but the kid wasn't hearing it. "Here Peter!" The kid pushed Amie forward and soon found herself flying in the arms of Peter Pan. Goodness what did she get herself into?"

"Captain! They got Amie!" She heard Smee yell.

"Bring her back Peter!" Captain Hook yelled. Amie tried to look around, but Peter was flying up over around and upside down so much that all she could do was hold tight and hope not to fall. The chaos of the ship noise soon faded and Amie felt ground under her feet as she was put down. Looking up she saw the ship was a while away and Peter was hovering in the air.

"Wait here, I'll be back," And then he was gone. Amie had never been off the ship before and knelt down touching the sand feeling the grains flow through her fingers. She giggled and picked more sand up only to let it fall out then pick it up again. When Peter returned he had the lost boys with them and found Amie, covered in sand.

"What are you doing?" They asked.

"This is wonderful, I've never seen anything like it," Amie glowed. Then looked to the water. "And I've only recently seen the water but never got to touch it." She was surprised to feel that it had a weight as she cupped some in her hand, and enjoyed the feel of it being silky and flowing as she ran her hands in it.

"Well you can play in the water later," Peter laughed pulling her into a standing position. "Come on I'll show you our hide out." Amie's grin faded and she couldn't help but turn to look at the ship.

"What?" Peter was confused. "You look like you want to go back."

"They'll be looking for me," Amie said. "I'll bring you nothing but trouble." But the thought of going back terrified her. She didn't want to get sent back below decks, she didn't want to have to wear that terrible makeup again and most of all, she didn't want to do any of those things that Samantha and Mary Bell said was required of her.

"Come on, the longer we stay, the harder it will be to get away," Peter said. "Maybe next raid you'll come and show us where they keep the kids." What would they say if they found out Amie's age? That worried her a bit as they started to walk. It was quickly forgotten as Amie looked around eager to drink everything in. The trees, wind, the plants, Amie wanted to see it all. As they stopped in front of a huge tree Amie watched as they touched a few knobs and a few doors then opened. A few kids went in then pulled Amie in behind them. They showed her around to where she could get some food, clean up then paused when it came to where to sleep. The kids were all lost boys, no girls at all and the thought of sleeping alone scared Amie, even though she was suppose to be the grown up.

"Well she can use my room," Peter said.

"No," Amie said. "I'd rather sleep in here with the boys if that's okay. "Below the kids would all gather together for warmth, I don't want to sleep alone." Peter looked back and forth between Amie and the lost boys, who looked terrified about sleeping by a girl.
"Sleep in my room and I'll sleep on the floor," Peter suggested. The boys relaxed at this and started to argue over what to eat for dinner. Pulling Amie into his room, he sat down and looked at her.

"So how long have you been on the ship?" Peter asked. Amie wasn't sure how to answer but she was reluctant to give her age.

"It seems like forever," Amie said. "I was only recently brought up."

"So they were going to," Peter stopped imagining that it must have been terrible making Amie laugh.

"I have to admit I've seen you before, Peter," Amie said.

"When?" Peter was curious.

"When you wrapped the barrel around the Captain and tossed him in the water," Amie said seeing Peters face light up at the memory. "I was one of the," Amie paused not wanting to call herself a woman.

"You were dressed up in that white outfit?" Peter asked astonished. "You could have passed as a grown up, in fact I thought you were a grown up, looks like I was wrong though other wise you wouldn't be here." Peter finished casually. Amie looked away not liking that fact that she was lying.

"What would you say if I was a grown up," Amie quietly said.

"I'd say you're crazy," Peter laughed hearing Amie and pulled her outside to a table. "Looks like they started eating without us." Peter put his hands on his hips and looked at the lost boys who were stuffing their faces, with nothing?

"What are they eating?" Amie was very confused. Peter looked to Amie then had a thought.

"Hey guys we have to teach," Peter paused finding he never asked for her name.

"Amie," she whispered.

"Teach Amie how to play," Peter said proudly. The lost boys all burst into chatter and Amie couldn't keep up with it all. They sat her down and she tried to follow their instruction for a few minutes then sat back getting frustrated.

"I'll never eat," Amie sighed.

"Oh well more for us," Peter yelled and dug a spoon into an empty bowl. Amie growled and took the bowl from Peter.

"If I can't eat neither can you," She stormed and pushed the bowl in his face. As it fell she was surprised to see food covered his face.

"You did it Amie!" Peter whooped and hugged her, getting food on her in the process.

"Peter you're getting food on me, you're wasting good food, let me eat!" Amie protested while laughing trying to get to the table now laden with tons of delectable treats.

"Sure thing," Peter said lifting her in the air.

"Peter what are you," Amie looked down seeing a huge chocolate cake. "Peter!" he let her go falling into the cake. Sitting up she whipped the chocolate out of her eyes and looked around.

"Food fight!" She screamed and started eating and throwing food at everyone. She couldn't remember ever having so much fun. Off in the distance no one noticed the eyes that were watching and slowly disappeared as they headed off back to the ship."
