Chapter #7: Becca's Return

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in like forever but I have this problem of enjoyin my summer and forgetting about everything else! But have no fear! I have returned with another chapter! YAY! Anyways I can't seem to get the italics working when I upload so from now on when someone is thinking to themselves I'll put it in brackets, like so: (I should get on with the disclaimer and then the story and stop talking about nothing!) Alright so enough of that on with the story!

DISCLAIMER: I haven't really written these in every chapter but I think we all know I don't own Peter Pan or anybody else from the story. The only person I own is Becca!

~*~*~

Peter watched Becca disappear into the Neverland woods. He had to laugh at her determination. Once her figure was gone from sight Peter went into the hideout to help The Lost Boys get the room ready.

"Hey Peter." Slightly paused and looked around, "Where's Becca at? OUUU! Is she playing hide-and-seek? I LOVE that game!" he exclaimed starting to look for Becca.

"She decided to go home." Peter informed Slightly as he continued to look around the room. "She'll be back though. You always end up back here when you walk in the woods." He shook his head (She's so stubborn.) He thought.

Slightly, giving up on his search asked Peter, "We got Wendy's old room ready for her. Do you want any of us to go get her?"

"Ummmm. . . You know what," Peter rubbed his chin in thought, "Go find her but don't let her know you're there. Just follow her to make sure she doesn't get hurt. She'll be back here anyway." He paused as if to re-think what he just said, then he nodded. "Yeah, you, Nibs, and the twins. Watch her." With that said Peter went into his room.

Slightly went to get Nibs and the Twins. Peter listened to the excitement of the four boys.

"YES! We're gonna spy on Becca!" They yelled as they left the comfort of the tree. Peter just lay in his hammock and decided to catch a little shuteye before Becca came back.

Just when he was about to fall asleep he heard an all to familiar sound. He groaned. (Not now!) He begged, (Any other time but now!) He thought as he covered his face with hat trying to hide from the wrath he was about to receive.

~*~*~

Becca had been walking for 15 minutes. She finally realized she was lost. The thought of going back to Hang Mans Tree crossed her mind. But so did Peter's face. It was getting dark. Becca found a big, flat, smooth rock she could lie on. (It will have to do.) She thought miserably.

She sat on the rock cross-legged and pouted at the situation she was in. She wanted her nice warm bed. She was jolted out of her thoughts when she heard a branch break farther in the distance, like someone was stepping on it.

"Who's there?" She asked as bravely as she could. No answer. Becca sensing she was being watched got up from her rock and started to walk away calmly. Again she heard a noise only this time it was leaves being crumpled by someone's foot. The sound was closer. Who or what ever was out there was coming after Becca. She picked up her pace. Unfortunately so did the thing behind her. She started running for her. Becca was trying her best to lose the prowler but the prowler kept gaining on her. She was beginning to lose hope.

~*~*~

"LOOK TINK!" Peter yelled at his friend, "She was in trouble so I had to help her." The little pixie was furious with Peter; "I couldn't just leave her there. Besides she's not even here so you can calm down." Tinkerbell continued yelling at Peter and buzzing around his head. Peter threw his hand up in the air trying to get rid of the fairy but with no success.

Just when Peter thought he was going to die from her nagging one of the twins came in his room.

"Becca is heading right this way Peter. She's coming fast." Peter didn't like the sound of the fast part.

"What did you guys do to her?" He asked sternly.

"Nothing. She's just a scary cat." The twin laughed and left the room.

Peter was about to leave when he heard Tinkerbell again. "She did leave Tink. I guess she decided to come back." He smirked at Tink. " I guess she couldn't stay away from my good looks." Tinkerbell grunted, "Just give it up Tink she's not that bad. And she's gonna be here for a while so BE NICE!" He warned her. He then flew up and out of the hideout to go and get Becca.

~*~*~

Becca was exhausted. She wasn't used to running for her life. She just prayed that whoever or whatever was behind her was just as tired as her.

"In a rush?" Becca screamed and ran even faster. She looked to her side and saw Peter flying next to her.

"Can't. . . you see I'. . . I'm busy Peter?" Becca panted. Peter looked behind him and saw the boys just out of sight. He laughed.

"What are you running from?" He asked as he pretended to run in the air.

"I don't know!?" Becca managed to say. "Why don't you use your flying techniques and fly over there and tell me. OR! Even better sacrifice yourself for me!"

"Well I'm not gonna kill myself but I will tell you what your running from" Peter motioned the Lost Boys to come out so she could see them. He pretended to examine whatever was behind Becca and then turned back to her. "Are you sure you want me to tell you?" He asked, "Cause you might be a it humiliated if I do." Peter giggled.

"Just tell me!" She gasped.

"Ok! From here it looks like a skunk and a fox and two other animals that I cant see very well." (A/N I have no idea what kind of furs the twins are wearing so if anyone could tell me that would be great!)

"How can you see that?" She questioned, "I've looked back all the time and I couldn't see anything." Becca turned around and saw three of The Lost Boys grinning at her. She stopped running and glared at them. "Do you really think this is funny?!" She asked. All the boys nodded including Peter. She gave them all her best death glare and walked away.

"Oh come on Becca. I sent them after you to make sure you didn't get hurt." Peter defended themselves from the angry teenager.

"BUT SCARING ME IS OK?" Becca yelled! Peter looked at the boys who avoided Peters stare.

"What did you guys do to her?" Peter asked. They smiled innocently.

"Nothing." They said at the same time. Peter crossed his arms and stared them down.

Finally slightly gave in, "We were just having fun Peter." He said.

"I told you guys to watch her not scare her to death." Peter jumped up into the air; " I'll deal with you later." He flew after Becca to get her to go back to the hideout.

"BECCA! Wait up a second!" Becca rolled her eyes. She didn't stop. Peter caught up with her in no time. He landed in front of her and made her stop.

"What do you want Peter?" She demanded trying to get him out of her way.

"I want you to come back to Hang Man's Tree. It's too dangerous in the woods at night."

"I'll manage." She replied simply and pushed past Peter.

"Look I didn't tell them to do that. I told them to watch you so you didn't get hurt." He told her again. Becca just kept on walking away. "Look I'm sorry they did that. Just please come back to the hideout and I'll take you home tomorrow morning!" Peter pleaded.

Becca stopped and turned around and looked at Peter. (It'd better than staying out here all night) thought Becca. She grinned at Peter, who became uncomfortable.

He began to fidget, "What are you smiling at?"

"Peter Pan can say sorry and please!" She teased Peter. "I had no idea!" Peter turned red. "Since you said sorry and asked me nicely to go back I guess I could spend the night at your little play house." She began walking towards Peter.

"Little play house!" Peter gasped. "That, for your information, isn't a little play house! It is a very manly hideout!" Peter puffed out his chest and walked that way.

"Peter, what are you doing?" Becca laughed at his motions.

"I'm protecting you from any other animal that might try to chase you until we get to my VERY manly hideout." Peter lowered his voice to say that. Becca couldn't help but laugh at his tactics the whole way back to the hideout.
