Here it is…chapter 16!
Eric and Sondra walked farther back into the cave and heard a low moan. They looked around, there didn't appear to be anyone. But the dark lump in the corner quivered and moaned again. Sondra flew over. "It's a boy!" she twittered. "And a pirate!"
"What do we do?" Eric asked the fairy.

Peter slashed Ian and Tootle's bonds and tied the pirate to a tree. He had defeated another pirate and rescued people. He glowed with pride. But where was Eric? No one knew. They all stood in silence, waiting for someone to suggest what to do next. The only sound was the trickling of a nearby stream. Fairy dust swirled in the wind as Tinkerbell flew over to Peter. She jingled excitedly. Peters face lit up again. "Hook has a new prisoner!" Peter grinned "Let's go rescue them! And maybe they'll know something about Eric!" Everyone nodded and cheered in agreement and they all ran off to the beach in search of The Jolly Roger. They saw it beached with the pirate flag flying in the breeze. They let out screeches and charged towards the ship, swords, daggers, bow and arrows all brandished. Pirates braced themselves for the attack, ready to fight. Zoe was in the middle of all this, still tied to the mast. Pirates and Lost Boys battled each other in fierce combat. Peter cut Zoe's bonds and helped her away from all the fighting. After making sure she was ok he smiled at her and flew off towards Hook, like he always did. Zoe was grateful she was rescued but planned to escape from her rescuer as well, who's to day he wasn't evil? She climbed down the side of the ship and began walking back towards the jungle. The Lost Boy's were satisfied with their victory and left The Jolly Roger. Peter caught up with Zoe and began following her.
"What do you want?" Zoe asked as she kept treading through the jungle. Peter remained silent. "You know I know you're there, right?" She turned and Peter did his best to look innocent. He smiled.
"I knew" he said
"Ok….bye" Zoe kept moving, Peter flew to face her.
"What's your name?"
"Zoe."
"That's pretty." Zoe looked at him in astonishment, what was he doing?
"Uh….thanks"
"What are you doing in Neverland?"
"Looking for my brother and his friend"
"Oh, what are their names?"
"Why is it any of your business?" She said coolly
"Because we're looking for a boy too" Peter was trying his best to be nice.
"Really? What's his name?"
"Why should I tell you if you won't even tell me your brother's name?"
"Ok then," She stalked off into the woods. Peter blushed, why was she acting so weird? Why was HE acting weird?
"Peter….what's the matter?" Tootles asked the red faced Peter.
"I think he likes her!" Ian grinned as he walked over.
"WHAT?" Tootles screeched.
"What do you mean?" Peter eyes shifted nervously as Ian smiled at him, and Tootles looked on in horror.
"I think you have a crush on Zoe!"
"I do not" Peter turned away from the group, do I?
"Either way, I better go tell her I'm ok" Ian ran off towards Zoe. Peter sat down on a fallen log and thought. Do I like Zoe? And why didn't she like me too? Wendy liked me… shouldn't other girls like me too?
Tootles shook his head and looked away from the confused Peter. Liking girls? He thought Eww.
Sorry for the shortness...
