Tenshi-san: Well, deal with this. I have written out far more of Innocent and Heartless than I have typed. I always do the written manuscript thingy. Which is why I'm so damnably slow, I can't type. And tell me if I should up the rating. Not nice things will happen to Peter. Not right now, but later... I think I'm going to up the rating. walks off

Lili finally found him at the Marooner's rock, playing pipes for the mermaids. He ignored her as she landed next to him.
As you may know, the mermaids of Neverland are dark creatures. As Peter said, 'If you get too close, they'll sweetly drown you.' Definitely not Disney's sweet, flirty characters. Only Peter could make heads or tails of the whistles and clicks that was their language.
Although Lili suspected he made up most of what he said they said. He was always doing that. Second to the right of what? Have you any idea how many stars are in the sky?
"Come with me, we're going to have to find the Fairy Queen."
"And the mermaids told you that?"
"No." He turned to her. "Why?"
"Never mind. Why do you need me?"
"This is for you. I'm not the one that's dying."
"Sarcasm! You're being cynical! You do feel!"
"Shut up!" Peter flopped down on the rock. "Of course I can feel. I have feelings."
"I knew that, Peter Pan. But you're a boy, and boys aren't supposed to ever show their feelings. You are the quintessential boy, so you don't."
Peter curled up in a fetal position. "Barbarrossa doesn't feel. How else could he hurt me!"
"Peter, some people just... don't think of anyone else but themselves. He has no right to touch you."
"He says I deserved it."
"Peter, you don't deserve to be treated like that. No one does."
He stood, one smooth motion, and she knew why he was in so much danger. He was beautiful, but he had no idea that he was. Complete innocence to his looks. She whispered. "Devil in an angel's guise..."
Peter spun, hissing, "What did you say?" He tensed, on hand on the hilt of his dagger. "How did you..."
"It fits. You're adorable, but... unbeatable."
"He said that... before..." He rose in the air, effortlessly. "I hate this, this feeling..."
"If only everything could go back to the way it was."
"I want too." He headed to land.
Lili watched him go, unshed tears in her eyes, "But innocence lost can never be regained..."
Tenshi-san: Well, this is quite possibly the shortest chapter in the whole thing. Not even half of what the others are... But that's where it should end. rereads What have I done to Peter! Oh, don't shoot me, I promise something good will happen to him. And lots of bad things, but I guess I'm bitter about having to grow up...
