Nibs, Cubby, and Slyly were flying so fast, they collided with Tymiko and Peter Pan.
"Oww…" Cubby rubbed his head, moaning. He looked just as dazed as the other two boys. "What happened?"
"That's what I'd like to know," Tymiko replied. "Are you all okay?"
Nibs moved his jaw to make sure it still worked. "I think so."
"So what were you doing?"
The boys looked at her with fear in their eyes. "I-it was huge! It almost caught us, but we got away. It had big white teeth and its breath smelled like pirates and-"
"We weren't scared one bit!" finished Slyly. "We could hear the tick-tocking coming from its scaly, green hide. The sound grew louder and louder and we could hear it when it opened its jaws to swallow us! And we just barley escaped with our lives!"
Cubby shook with terror. He hadn't actually smelled the monster's breath, but it scared him just the same.
Tymiko laughed. "Oh really? And did you see Hook's hand along with a few skeleton zombies too? Nice story, boys, but I doubt it was the same crocodile." Glancing around her, she frowned. "Where's Peter? Did you see him? I was sure he was just here…" She shook her head. "I bet he hid again. Come on! Let's go find him."
The boys shrugged, looking at each other and scratching their heads as the girl flew down toward the seemingly endless forest. "Hey! Wait for us!" yelled Nibs, following after her. Nibs and Cubby were right behind him.
Meanwhile, Peter was elsewhere. He had noticed something off the coast of Pegleg Point and was quite curious as to what it was. Not wanting to disturb the Lost Boys' story, he took a glance at them, and then dove down toward the beach.
Sure enough, something was there. A small, white creature that seemed to grow larger as he came closer sat calmly on the sand at the edge of the jungle. It turned and looked at Peter, its soft eyes gleaming mysteriously. Puzzled, the boy dared to get closer, not even considering the fact that the animal might be dangerous. He was sure he knew just about all the creatures that lived on Neverland, but this one was unfamiliar to him. Unless…he had one fleeting memory of seeing a flash of white before, but he couldn't remember where.
As Peter Pan descended, he noticed a glint of sunlight reflect off a long, spiral horn and instantly recalled the creature's species. A unicorn, he recalled…but how was beyond his memory.
Hello, Peter Pan. An echoic voice in his head startled the boy, making him leap up. He stared in wonder at the pure, white beast, wondering if possibly it had talked to him. If it had, then it was most certainly not an it; the voice, though not a real voice, more like a thought, seemed feminine. Remember me? I'm Tymiko's friend, Starlight.
The unicorn's eyes danced with amusement, watching Peter's reaction. He was scratching his head in bewilderment, cocking his head at her uncertainly.
