Wow, thank you to cal that answered my plea for reviews.

Cal – wow! I was so delighted to see that you read my story. Yes, I saw your novellas and I always wondered how you managed to write so much. Oh so that's how you do it! I got this idea one day and I hope that other people would find the idea of Captain Jack Sparrow being Peter Pan as fascinating as me. I'm glad that you do. I'd love towrite more Jack/Ana stories. Please, if you have any ideas, feel free to tell them to me and I'll try my best. the following is myanswer to the comments and any questions you had on the chapters.

Chapter one/two – I really love the way you review. I feel like I am reading my story through your eyes. And I really like it. It's wonderful to see how others see it. Thank you.

Chapter three – I am so glad that you love this story. You totally made my day! You're right. Liz makes more sense being Wendy but that didn't fit into my story. It had to be Ana. About '"unfortunate" children being excluded' – I actually didn't think of that but I think you're right. Neverland was a place of escape. Maybe they needed to escape reality more then the other ones.

The medicine that I was talking about was some water that Wendy put into a flower cup (I think) and gave to the boys to take – playing her part of mother. Have fun watching the Peter Pan movie. I thought that it was really good. The title of this story is also a line form there.

Chapter four – When he is asking what has been done to him – I think that he is just really confused. He just found out that he isn't as crazy as he thought and his dreams happened.

The 'real names' part – I'm sorry. I can see that that didn't come across quite as I wanted it to. What he meant was if Ana and Will were really Wendy and Slightly. So yes, I think you did get what I was trying to say.

You're right. Anamaria is a much more complimentary piece for him but he isn't bonded to her. Yet. Soon though.

Uh oh I hope I live up to your expectations.

I can't wait to hear from you again on chapter five. Thank you!

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

"Did you find anything?" Elizabeth called when she saw Jack headed back to them from the trees. The crew was spread out all over the beach, some still doing their jobs such as looking for twigs, edible food and others just lounging around on the soft fine sand.

"No." Jack told her in a split second decision. "Nothing of importance. We might have to stay here for a while though. I'm not exactly sure why we are here yet but everyone can always use some vacation time lying on a beautiful tropical island, right?"

"Sure." Elizabeth told him brightly. "I'm sure that everyone will love it here."

"Great. I trust that Anamaria took charge and assigned jobs and rotation?" The Captain asked and she nodded. A crew member called from the other side of the beach and Jack followed the calls, helping out where he could and answering questions, laughing with his crew until he came up to Anamaria who sat on a low rock supervising any work that happened to be going on.

"We'll be here a while." He told her sitting down on the sand beside her rock. "At least a week. There is no help for it. I don't think that the island would let us leave."

"You didn't find out anything useful on your walk?" She asked somewhat worriedly, stopping at an uninhabited island with your crew for a night was one thing but being stuck on an uninhabited island with a perfectly working ship at your beck and call was completely another.

"We're safe here Ana. Just a week long vacation. Do you think the crew…" He didn't have to finish. Anamaria knew exactly what he meant.

"No Jack." She hurried to reassure him. "We're not at all out of money so we don't exactly need to be out there taking ships and who doesn't want to relax on a beach for a while? We'll all back you captain." She told him honestly and Captain Jack Sparrow nodded and regarded her thoughtfully. Everything else aside, she was his first mate and as such, privy to the thoughts of the rest of the crew. And regardless of trust, he knew with certainty that she would tell him the truth about some matters. He only wished that he could talk to her about the occurrence of years ago but the opportune time had not yet come.

Together, they told the crew of the plans for the near future. They did not yet know why the strange and unnatural winds had brought them to this island of all places but they were sure that no harm would befall them here. They would stay until they could figure out why they were there or the island would let them go back. Till them, it would be a fun vacation.

Jack and Anamaria assigned permanent tasks and rotations to the crew so that they didn't wander around with absolutely nothing to do and Captain Jack Sparrow told them from memory how to get to the waterfall where they could all wash and drink. He was weary of letting the entire crew roam free on the island, remembering the Indians but there was really nothing that he could do to contain a large group of restless pirates, so he told them to stay close to camp until they knew more about the place and was relieved when everybody agreed.

Ooooooooooooooooooo

The sun sat on the horizon right in front of the watching pirates and Jack thought that it only sat down there because they were there and that it would rise there as well so that everyone could see.

People were already sleeping or else talking quietly amongst themselves when Jack stood silently from his place right in front of the fire and walked down to the edge of the water of the cove. His ship sat black and silent, a strong outline against the bright starry sky. It called to him to come home and Jack shook his head sadly.

"Not yet luv. I'll come when I can, I'll come soon." He whispered out into the ocean in front of him and saw the sails of the Pearl move in silent sad response. He remembered doing this the first time that the Black Pearl had been so cruelly taken away from him. He remembered standing at the edge of the water be it on land or sea and whispering the same words, sending them to his ship, promising to come back and he could always feel his ship respond.

Jack crouched down and trailed his hand in the water.

"Come on croc, I know you're out there. I just wanna see you." He called out softly as not to alert his crew behind him. Then he waited. And waited. He had been thinking of the crocodile the entire evening and wondered if it was still haunting the waters, still ticking.

What seemed like hours later, Jack the low, steady ticking of a clock and seconds later, a big crocodile crawled out of the water and headed straight at him. Any other man would have been mortally afraid in his situation but Jack Sparrow could feel the ties that bound him to the island and though the island, to the crocodile. And though he didn't know how to yet, he felt that he would be able to stop the croc in his tracks should there be any need of that.

The crocodile came to his outstretched hand and seemed to snuggle, like a perfectly trained dog. Yes, eating the Peter Pan was definitely completely counterproductive.

Jack relaxed on the sand, beside the croc and lay down close to the water, being as close to his ship as he could possibly, physically be without leaving the island. He stroked the rough crocodile skin until he fell into a peaceful sleep and the croc stayed to guard his dreams and his life.

Neither saw the Pearl's first mate quietly watching the proceedings from the sidelines in total, silent confusion.

Oooooooooooooooooooo

Please, please, please review. I love reviews!
