Peter flew wearily back to the Tree, carrying the sleeping girl in his arms. He slid down the hole easily and landed with knees bent and small particles of dust rising around his feet. Walking quickly over to the couch-bed he set Robyn on it and sunk down beside her, closing his eyes. Benji wandered out of a room and down some stairs. When he came close enough to see the boy and girl resting on the couch clearly, he let out a loud wolf-whistle.
Peter's eyes shot open and Benji laughed. "You did a number on her, eh Pan?"
"Hmm?" he asked, a grin starting to form on his face.
"You coulda been a bit more subtle about it, mate," Benji said and gestured towards the marks Pan had left on Robyn's neck and shoulders. Closing his eyes again, a laugh came from the leader of the Lost Boys. "Hell, I don't wanna see what she did to you!" His eyes scanned Peter's neck quickly then averted themselves.
A smile was plastered on Pan's face as Perdy stumbled down the hole, picked herself up and moved towards them quickly. "Peter! Somethin's goin' on with the pirates!"
In one movement, Peter was on his feet and right in front of the girl. He called Tinkerbell over and flicked a finger towards Perdy. In a moment she was covered with dust and closing her eyes. Less than two minutes after Perdy had entered the Tree, both of them were gone.
"Bloody hell, what jus' happened 'ere?" came Slightly's voice from several feet over Benji's head.
"Pirate business," Benji mumbled and shuffled off to a room.
Slightly jumped from his room and landed with a loud thud on the ground. Robyn sat up and her eyes snapped open and searched the room. When they rested on Slightly, she relaxed and laid back down. After a moment, she sat back up again asking Slightly, "Where's Peter?"
"Peter, Peter, Peter fucking Pan. 'S'always 'bout him, innit?" mumbled the blonde boy under his breath. Robyn watched him as he scuffed a foot on the floor. "Went to see the pirates, he did. 'Spect he'll be back soon, luv."
"Thanks." After a pause, Robyn patted her hand beside her. "Come sit with me?"
With a shrug, Slightly wandered over to the girl and sat down beside her. She examined his forehead for a moment, eyes searching out and finding the small scar that Benji had left. Slightly shrugged again and looked down.
Robyn put a hand under his chin and pulled his face up to look at. After taking a breath, Slightly reached out slowly and slid his hand along the back of her neck, under her hair. An apprehensive look entered Robyn's eyes as her friend leaned forward towards her. He stopped, eyes on her neck. She reached up and touched the soft skin, wondering. Letting go of her gently, the blonde boy shook his head, stood up and exited swiftly.
Several seconds later, Peter appeared at the bottom of the hole. He looked up, a faerie buzzing around his head, and a figure was seemingly dropped into his arms moments later. Moving so Perdy could get into the Tree, Robyn saw that the figure in Peter's arms was, in fact, another girl.
"Robyn," Peter said hoarsely. She stood up and moved to see the girl.
"We'll look after her Pan," Perdy offered, seeing how tired her leader looked.
He set down the girl and with a glance at Robyn, Peter shot up and into his room. Both blonde girls sat and made themselves comfortable around the redheaded newcomer. In moments, both were sinking into the sleep, like the sun that was fading out over the horizon.
Robyn woke in the middle of the night. The girl was still sleeping peacefully on the couch beside her. Looking around, she saw Perdy slowly making her way out of Benji's room. When she saw Robyn's eyes on her, she let out a squeak and almost stumbled. A blush would probably have been visible on her face, had there been enough light. Robyn let out a laugh and jumped when she heard a noise from the other side of her.
Peter had descended from his room. "Going up?" he whispered to Robyn.
She nodded and he wrapped his arms around her quickly. Robyn started as her body came into full contact with his. He smirked at her and flew rapidly up. When they reached the platform outside his room, he slowly, almost reluctantly, slid his hands out from behind her.
She wandered into his room and cleared her throat. He grinned at her and she smiled nervously in return. Pushing a hand under her hair to move it, he saw the bruises he had left on her skin and smiled wolfishly.
"You're bruised," he said quietly, stepping towards her.
"Where?" she asked, looking down at her body.
"Here." He stepped right up to her and ran cool fingers down her neck to her collarbone. Her eyes closed and she tilted her head, clearly enjoying the sensation.
Leaning in gently, he placed a searing kiss on her neck, on one of the bruises his mouth had formed only half a day before. Robyn's eyes opened suddenly and her breathing quickened. Peter watched as her eyes flickered towards the bed that took up much of the room.
It wasn't surprising to him when her eyes looked nervously back at him. He smiled and hugged her, lifting her feet from the floor. "Don't worry about it," was all he said before setting her down. "We have forever."

Peter opened one eye to see Robyn untangling herself from his legs and getting up to look out into the main room. Once she saw what she needed to, she launched herself onto the bed and started shaking Peter's arm to wake him up.
"Peter! Peter! The girl's awake!" He shot out of the bed and over to the door. "Hey! Wait for me, will you?"
"Sorry," he muttered hastily, and grabbed her snugly around the waist and making her shriek. "Hold on." He jumped off the ledge outside his room and let them freefall the thirty-or-so feet to the ground. At the last second, he landed them both safely and let go of Robyn. She clutched her chest and breathed deeply.
The redhead was sitting cross-legged on the couch eating a dark purple piece of fruit that was staining her lips the same colour as her hair. Slightly was sitting near her and talking quietly as Perdy slept a few feet away.
When Peter stepped up beside the girl, Slightly stood and backed off to stand with Robyn. "She was with the pirates, she was," he said quietly as both of them watched her start jabbering and waving her hands. "Doesn' speak English, tha' one. 'S'amazin' I was able to get anythin' off 'er."
"What's your name?" Peter asked loudly. The girl made more noises. "Name!!!" he said again.
"Oh!" she cried finally. "Venus!"
