A/N: No, this isn't the end. Yet. I predict confusion. LoL.

At the crack of dawn, they set out back to the Tree. They agreed that it might have been safer, in a sense, to walk back. On the way back, Jennifer heard her parents arguing about something and went ahead stubbornly.

Somehow, she was caught in some brush and nearly shrieked as a hand placed over her mouth, a boy put a finger over his lips, as to indicate for her to keep silent. Jennifer felt him let her go and she whispered, "Oliver?" He bowed, "Yes, 'tis I." The girl frowned, "What do you-?"

She heard Peter shout her name and said anxiously, "Can this wait?" Oliver burrowed his brows, "I suppose. Meet me around the same area tonight."

When he saw a hesitated look pull over her face, Oliver added, "You can trust me. I may be Hook's son, that doesn't mean I'm him." She murmured, "I know the feeling." Oliver gently kissed her hand and disappeared into the shadows, Jennifer emerged from the brush, and responded to the worried looks on Peter and Wendy's faces, "Terribly sorry, I went ahead." Her father said sternly, "Alright, don't do that again. It's easy to get lost in Neverland."

She nodded and they arrived back to the Tree, Wendy went upstairs to check out on her still dying son and Jennifer sat downstairs, waiting for nightfall.

When the sun set and the moon rose, she got up out of her chair and a voice asked, "Where are you off to Jen?" Smee and Slighty stood by the staircase, she explained, "I must be somewhere. It is vital, please, do not worry my parents of where I am." The old man looked at Slightly, who nodded and presented something to her. It was a red silk dress, draped perfectly in straight lines. Jennifer asked softly, "What is this?" Slightly handed it to her, "A present, Mr. Smee sewed it for you. I helped." They blushed as she kissed them on the cheek, "I thank you both dearly."

After dressing, they bid her a safe farewell as she disembarked into the glowing forest. The trees in the horizon were silvery lined, a hand took hers. Jennifer turned to Oliver, who wore familiar clothes.

She found herself being spun into his arms and staring up into his face.

He murmured, "I knew that you would come." She looked down, "There was something you needed to talk about?" Oliver whispered, not looking away from her eyes, "I fear that you may be taken. I do not wish you to be harmed."

"You barely know me."

"I know that you are special, the only way to break Hook's ruin, is for you to do something."

She asked, "Did you talk to the Indians as well?" A smirk appeared on his young face, "Yes."

Jennifer chuckled and looked back at him, a moment passed and she took it. She placed a hand behind his neck and bent his head down, placing a kiss over his mouth. Somewhere; a boy awoke from a dying sleep; two lovebirds felt a strange ache; and a blackhearted scandal knew.

Jennifer pulled away as if she was electrified and asked timidly, "Did you feel that?" Oliver answered, "I did."

She brought her arms around him as another kiss occured, shaking the ground of Never Neverland from such outside intensity. The boy pulled her up the largest cliff in Neverland and they sat quietly, watching the stars twinkle and moon shine. A slight breeze ruffled Jennifer's hair and an enraged cry rang in her ear, rolling away instictly, she missed Captain Hook's hook.

He had found them on the cliff and was about to kill her, Oliver got up and was bit by the hook, Jennifer avoided getting hurt and saw the boy fall back. With a last effort, she shoved Hook off the edge of the cliff.

Not bothering to look down, she knelt beside Oliver who laid on his back and held his side.

He didn't look like he was in pain and was becoming a bit faint around the edges, like he was vanishing. Oliver said, "I'm going home."

"What do you mean?"

"Hook captured me from my house one day and brainwashed me to believing I was someone I wasn't, now, I know it couldn't be true."

Jennifer stroked his hand, "Are you leaving me?"

"Yes, do you hate me?"

She shook her head, "No." He disappeared out of thin air and she found that she was not sad. Jennifer brushed off her dress as flying figures hovered down. Peter, Wendy, and Cameron!

She gasped and hugged him tightly, "You're alive!" He wriggled away, looking amused, "Yeah, yeah. Love you too Jen."

Wendy said proudly, "The Indians were right, an event had to take place. Smee and Slighty had followed you and saw everything." Jennifer smiled, "Does that mean the curse is gone? We can go home?"

Peter interrupted, looking grim, "Not yet."

They looked at him confused and comprehension had dawned on him, "You must understand something, Hook will never die. Not as long as I'm here. In order of Neverland to be complete, I must always be here to fight."

Wensy stepped to him, her fourteen-year-old eyes narrowing, "What are you saying?"

He took her hands, "I am sorry Wendy, but I cannot go back."

Their children began shouting protests, he shook his head, "The portal between Neverland and the other worlds must be closed, or else everything will fall into chaos, one way or another." Jennifer began sobbing, "But we're your family! Please...Daddy....."

Peter embraced her, "I don't like this anymore then you do Jen. It must be done, that means I cannot leave and you cannot come here."

He hugged his son, who had tears shining in his eyes. Wendy was numb, and won't move as Peter once again took her hands, "Wendy, I love you. I can say it and feel it as easily as the waves in the sea moves. Before, I couldn't even bring myself to think it. I am thankful that I had found you many years ago, I am thankful that you came with me for the first time to Neverland, I am thankful that you came back again, I am thankful that you had showed me something that I would have never have experineced. Love. You showed me how wonderful life could be when you had some who cared, when you had created life from your own, you teached me to love. You made me feel. You helped me grow up, and I will never regret ever meeting you. And I hope that you won't ever regret sharing a life with me."

She choked, "O, I won't Peter, I won't. Never ever."

He smiled, an innocent and carefree grin, kissing her. The curse of Never Neverland lifted.
