Chapter One

Allies

A/AN: Okay so here's the next chapter. I was hoping for a few more reviews, but I would like to thank those of you who did review/follow/favorite. On to our first CS meeting...

Killian Jones and Smee trekked their way through the overgrown forests of Neverland. They were headed for Tink's tree house and it was about a three mile walk from shore.

"Mr. Smee you better be right about this bloody falling star...I just don't see the point in coming out here in the middle of the night when I could be sleeping." he complained as they walked on.

"I can promise you that you won't be disappointed captain. I'm sure Tink has seen the star." Smee assured him as the tree house came into view.

Killian yawned as they made their way to the tree house. He rang the bell down below before calling up to the estranged fairy, "Tink, may we come up?" he inquired. The fairy shuffled over to the entrance, peeking down at the pirate.

"What do you want Hook? I'm not in the mood for any of your games." she remarked stiffly, and he laughed.

"I'm not here for any games love, though if you're ever feeling adventurous..." he winked suggestively causing the blond haired fairy to roll her eyes.

"Not in a million years Hook, even if that means you and I were the last two on the island!" she comeback, and he held his heart feigning hurt.

"Well if you're through with the banter...I would like to tell you the real reason why we're here." he supplied, glancing at his hook.

"Please do tell..." she stated with her arms crossed under her chest.

"We're here to see if you know anything about a falling star...Smee seems to think they're special." he retorted, and he saw a smile tug at the fairy's lips.

"Actually I do...Would you like to come up and see it?" she inquired, and he could see a gleam in her eye. He expected to see a mound of rock when he entered the tree house, but he was rendered speechless when he saw a beautiful young woman instead.

"Is this some kind of joke?" Killian demanded glancing between Tink and the star.

"I told you that you wouldn't be disappointed captain." his chubby comrade grinned.

"This is the star Killian...She fell right out of the sky, and I need your help to protect her." and he could see panic flash in the fairy's eyes.

"Killian, Tinks telling the truth...I'm the star that fell. I'm actually the star that Peter Pan uses to navigate the realms with. Without me guiding him, he will be unable to leave Neverland." the star explained, leaving him entranced by her ethereal beauty.

He took a long drink from his flask trying to sort through all of this information. "So you're the star then...You're human...How's that possible?" he questioned the blond, and when she lost her words, Tink intervened.

"Killian falling stars in our land are real breathing entities. They can live forever unless they fall and when they do, they become human, but they also retain their magical properties. Once Pan finds out she's fallen, he will come looking for her." Tink explained, and Killian nodded, looking intricately at the woman.

"Well what do you propose then? Neverland is Pan's playground. He has eyes and ears everywhere and unless we leave, there's no escaping him." Killian said sharply causing Tink to frown.

"I can get us off the island but it might take some time." the star spoke up, causing him to lock gazes with her. He swallowed hard, trying not to be entranced by her beauty. He felt his heart flutter, something foreign churning inside of him. He hadn't been with a woman in many years and this one was doing funny things to his heart.

"What did you have in mind love? I'm all ears when it comes to getting out of purgatory." he supplied, taking another drink from his flask.

"It may take a few weeks, but I'll have to regenerate some of my energy. I can create a portal once I collect enough." she replied, and he nodded, wondering where they could find something to help her out.

"Do you need magic to regenerate your energy? If so there's some pixie dust on the west side of the island that might could help." he affirmed, and the star smiled, touching his hand lightly.

He gazed at her gently, loosing himself in her beautiful eyes. Was there something spectacular about the eyes of stars? Maybe they retained some of their glow and it was left in their irises. "It might help, but human emotion is what generates my energy. It's what makes me shine brighter. I need to regenerate my shine to create a portal." she explained, and he nodded, completely spellbound.

"Aye...Well then I'll do whatever I can to help love...Killian Jones at your service." he said, bowing reverently. He swore that she glowed slightly when her fingers brushed against his coat, but he convinced himself that it was the light from the tree house.

"Well let's head back to the ship then...We need to set sail if we want to make it to the west side of the island by morning. It's better if we get a head start before Pan finds out what were up to." he admonished and Tink began grabbing a few supplies for the journey.

"It will be a pleasure to have you aboard my ship Miss. Star." Killian affirmed, taking her hand and kissing it gentlemanly.

"Who knew a pirate could be chivalrous." Tink snickered as she made her way down the ladder after Smee.

"Likewise Killian." Star winked, and he smiled as he took her hand, leading her down the creaky ladder.

He draped his coat across her shoulders when he noticed that she started to shiver. He pat her back lightly as they walked into the moonlight, "I have some clothes below deck that will be more appropriate for our voyage once we reach my ship. I'm sure Tinker Bell will be able to assist you with those." he remarked, his mind going back To Milah. He'd thrown away most of her belongings but there were some things he couldn't part with. He had no idea why he was offering them to a complete stranger but something inside of him made him want to protect her.

"Thank you Killian." she smiled brilliantly under the moonlight, and he swore she was still the brightest star in all of Neverland.

~X~

Peter Pan looked into the sky, ready to make his nightly rounds throughout the realms but something was off. He turned to his most loyal subject, Felix who was teaching a few of the new recruits how to sword fight.

"Felix look up! Where's my star!?" Pan demanded, searching the skies for her.

"It looks like it's gone. Maybe it fell?" he surmised, putting the sword away.

"Then that means were all doomed! How am I supposed to recruit more boys without it?" he growled kicking a stone into the fire.

"I don't know, but you'll figure it out. Peter Pan never fails after all." Felix grinned, clapping his comrades shoulder appreciatively.

"You're right he doesn't...That's why I need you to go look for it...It could be on the island and if it is, bring it to me." he commanded, and Felix nodded, gathering up a few of the boys to join him.

"As you wish Pan...", but Peter Pan didn't seem to notice the edge or annoyance in Felix's voice as he continued scanning the skies for her. Felix wasn't sure if he wanted him to find the star. Why couldn't he just be happy staying in Neverland?

"Come on boys! Let's head out!" Felix commanded as the band of boys followed behind him, ready to search for the star that would lead them home.

A/AN: Well there's the second chapter! I hope you enjoyed it! In the next chapter Star (Emma) will find out what it means to sail on the Jolley Roger, and Hook will show her how to sail, and they might have a moment...Felix and the lost boys continue their search for the star.
