CHAPTER 3.

The mythic Peter Pan squinted against the morning light. He turned to snuggle his head into his pillow, but found that he couldn't move. He tried rub sleepies out of his eye, but his hands were bond painfully to the back of the chair he was sitting in. The chair? Peter sleepily realized he was very securely bound to a wooden, kitchen chair, in the middle of a strange room. The events of the pervious night came trickling back to him, as he slouched hopelessly in the morning light.

"C'mon, lift your head up. Have some self-respect for Christ'ssake."

Pan saw out of the corner of his eye a boy watching him from a nearby couch. Pan straightened up in his chair, but closed his eyes as if he were simply stretching. Keeping his eyes closed Pan pretended he was rather bored with this game, "I'd like to speak to 'eero Yuy."

"Oh really? Unfortunately you're not in much of a position to be making demands."

"..."

"Don't worry gorgeous, he'd like to have a chat with you too."

Heero wandered into the room, "Duo, are you talking to yourself?"

"No. The fairy boy and I were just getting to know each other."

"That poor boy," Wufei sympathized, as he followed Heero into the room, and gave Pan a pointed look.

"Take that back." Heero didn't look at Wufei while he said this, but he didn't need to either. His cold monotone voice promised enough bodily harm.

"It's cool." Duo stood and stretched, " 'Fei's just jealous he never gets to have me tie him to chairs! Isn't that right, Wuffers?"

"Bite me!" Wufei scowled at Duo.

Heero stared absently at Pan's feet, "you wish he would."

"Where is everyone?" At about this point, Trowa and Quatre wandered into the living room at last, "Oh here they all are- I'm just so glad that we're all together..oh is Peter awake? Hi Peter, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Quatre Winner."

Trowa nudged Quatre, who stopped beaming at the visitor to notice three frustrated glares being directed toward him, "Eep!..oh... um... I'm giving away classified information again, aren't I? I'm gonna stop talking..."

"Quatre Winner" Pan smiled mischievously at the blond Arab, "The pleasure is mine."

Suddenly Quatre looked a little uneasy.

"And Trowa Barton." Pan continued, "And Chang Wufei, and Duo Maxwell, and Heero Yuy," and as the sprite finished, he gave Quatre a wink.

Suddenly TROWA looked a little uneasy.

"Where is Tinker-bell?"

5 very confused looks.

"Small...glowing...pissed off fairy?"

"We may have accidentally killed her."

"There may have been /nothing/ accidental about it" Quatre shot Heero an accusing look.

"It may have been self defense!" Heero hissed, locking eyes with Quatre.

"It may have been a premeditated attack" Quatre glared at Heero in defiance.

"Some people say the best defense is a good offense!" The perfect soldier leveled his gaze with Quatre.

"You attacked Tinker-bell?" Peter interrupted.

"May have" Wufei corrected.

"She may be dead?" Peter whined.

"Oh no. She's definitely dead."

"NO!"

"..but we got you this hamster to show you that there's no hard feelings!" Quatre offered.

"We did?" a confused Wufei asked.

"Oh. Well i guess that's okay." Pan brushed that dirt of his shoulder.

"Did you send her here?" Heero wanted to get back down to business.

Pan smirked, "Yep."

"Why?" Heero switched into interrogation mode.

"To get my shadow."

"Why was your shadow here?"

"It got caught in the window the last time i was here... but i didn't notice till i was 1/2 way home.."

"explain."

"I came to watch you guys.. cause I've heard stories"

"Stories?"

"From who?"

"My mother.

"Who's your mother?"

"The person who tells me stories."

"What does she call herself?"

"I forget.. she changes it.."

"Who else have you talked to about these stories?"

"Why the other lost boys of course! Wait til i tell them the g-boys are real!"

"I don't think so."

"You should come back with me! They'll never believe me otherwise!"

Quatre interrupted, "Heero! A word? Kitchen. Now."

The gundam pilots were in a huddle.

THAT"S ALL FOR NOW...

A/N:

Dear Minna, bit of a writer's block transition-wise here... but i didnt think that should stop me from letting you have this part. since i'm pretty happy with it..

i promise they'll go to neverland SOON...i have so many ideas for silly adventures in Neverland.. it's just that Heero's being so stubborn.. it's very very hard to persuade him to go...

but dont worry.. i shall deal with him...

Love, Jane
