Tinkerbell stepped into the clearing with an arm full of logs she was struggling to keep aloft.

"Peter, Felix, help me," she demanded as she tried to keep one from going over.

She glanced up then when she didn't hear anything and noticed the clearing was empty. She frowned in annoyance and dropped the logs on the ground at her feet.

"Of course," she grumbled, walking over to the hollowed out room beneath the massive oak tree on the edge of the clearing. "They're always running off and leaving me with the chores."

Tinkerbell pushed open the makeshift, wooden door and looked around, not seeing any sign of the boys in question. Somebody was definitely here though.

She rolled her eyes then and huffed out a sigh.

"It's not here, Tigerlily," she remarked simply.

The native girl stepped out from behind the door, her dark eyes narrowed.

"Where is it?" She demanded of the blonde woman.

"Felix has it."

"And where is he?"

"With Peter somewhere. I don't know," Tinkerbell replied with a shrug as she slumped down onto a rock chair in the room.

Tigerlily wrinkled her nose briefly and crossed her arms over her chest.

"I don't like them together. Pan was bad enough by himself. Now with Felix here, he's a hundred times worse. It's been four moons. My father already has a new knife. I just want this one back for principle."

Tinkerbell shook her head and flicked a piece of gravel off her dress.

"You know, I don't like them together either but it can't be helped."

Tigerlily was silent for a long moment when a tiny smirk suddenly rose to her lips.

"Maybe it can."

Tinkerbell cocked an eyebrow at the girl curiously.

"What if Felix just... disappeared? Or better yet! What if Pan disappeared? He is the source of all of our troubles."

The blonde woman furrowed her brows as she surveyed Tigerlily before clicking her tongue and waving her hand through the air dismissively.

"You don't mean that."

"Oh, no?" Tigerlily asked with a smile. "Would it really be that unheard of if one of those mermaids grabbed Pan and dragged him to the bottom of the sea? Or if Captain Hook decided one day to take him prisoner aboard his ship?"

"The mermaids know to stay away from Peter, as does the captain," Tinkerbell responded. "I think you forget how powerful he is here."

Tigerlily frowned at that.

"Just accept it," Tinkerbell continued with a sigh, pushing herself up onto her feet and walking over to the girl. "We're stuck with them forever."

Tigerlily didn't respond as the two headed back out into the clearing.

Just then, Peter emerged from the bushes where Tinkerbell had appeared earlier, Felix following right behind him. Peter frowned when he noticed the logs lying in a heap on the ground.

"Tink, I told you to put these up," he stated.

Tinkerbell glared at the boy but managed to fight back the urge to snap.

"Where's my knife?" Tigerlily demanded of the two boys.

Peter rolled his eyes.

"Are you still going on about that? I got tired of that game a month ago. Your father has a new knife. Let it go."

"I will not," Tigerlily replied firmly, her eyes narrowed.

Peter shook his head a bit in disappointment and looked over at Felix.

"Females. Always so stubborn," he remarked to the taller boy. "Tell you what," he spoke louder, turning back to the girls. "I'm in a rather good mood today, so why don't we play a little game for it."

"No. No games," Tigerlily snapped, shaking her head. "I want the knife."

"Oh, you'll get it," Peter said with a mischievous smirk. "IF you can beat Felix in a game of archery. One arrow, one shot, winner gets the knife for good and this whole thing is done with."

Tigerlily studied the boy for a long moment.

"Fine," she agreed.

A devilish grin immediately rose to Peter's face.

"Excellent. Follow me."

Tinkerbell's eyes widened a bit as she glanced over at the other girl.

"Tigerlily, are you sure that's such a good idea?" She asked warily.

"I can beat a boy in archery," the girl stated, following Peter and Felix out of the clearing.

"Not when that boy belongs to Peter," Tinkerbell murmured under her breath as she, too, headed out.

It was several minutes later when the group finally made it to a lone target board nailed up onto the trunk of a tree deep in the forest.

Peter picked up the bow and one of the two arrows lying against the tree, angling them towards Tigerlily.

"We may not be the most well-behaved boys but we do have manners. Ladies first," he smirked with a slight dip of his head.

Tigerlily frowned, unconvinced by the act of chivalry, but took the bow and arrow. She walked over to the designated spot several yards out and sucked in a deep breath. There was no way she was going to lose to a couple of boys.

She took her stance and held the bow and arrow up in front of her at arms length, pulling the string back as she eyed the target. She let out a silent breath and then released the arrow.

The arrow soared through the air, aiming right for the middle of the target when a white flash suddenly passed in front of it. It all happened so quickly that Tigerlily wasn't sure she had actually seen anything.

The three walked over to the target as Tigerlily made her way back.

"I don't even see the arrow," Peter remarked with furrowed brows as he surveyed the area.

"Maybe it went past the target," Felix suggested, glancing into the forest beyond.

"Tigerlily's a fairly good shot," Peter responded, looking down at the ground. "She wouldn't miss that badly."

Tigerlily was almost to the target when her eyes fell upon a white object lying among the bushes. She actually gasped at the sight of the dead rabbit with her arrow pierced right through its side.

Peter glanced up then, noticing the girl had stopped.

"Tigerlily must have found something," he said, as the three walked over to her.

The group merely stared at the rabbit for a long moment when Peter finally broke the silence.

"Well, that's a rather unfortunate occurrence," he remarked with a sympathetic expression. "Looks like a rabbit jumped in front of your arrow."

Tigerlily's eyes narrowed with suspicion as she surveyed the boy.

"Six feet up in the air?" She questioned.

Peter shrugged.

"Animals on the island can be rather unpredictable. Your turn, Felix," the boy continued, smiling up at the blonde.

Felix headed back to the target tree to retrieve the second arrow.

"I deserve another shot," Tigerlily declared firmly. "That one shouldn't even count."

Peter frowned at the girl and held a finger up.

"One arrow, one shot. Those are the rules. But, hey. Maybe you'll get lucky and a rabbit will jump in front of Felix's arrow as well."

Tigerlily's eyes narrowed at the amused smirk that crossed Peter's lips. Felix made his way over to the spot Tigerlily had been standing and pulled the bow string back. He held it there for only a brief second before firing the arrow through the air. It penetrated the target dead center.

Tigerlily rolled her eyes. Of course.

"Felix wins!" Peter declared, turning a delighted grin onto the girl. "At least you got something out of this as well. You can take that rabbit back to your village and have a nice little meal. Think of it as a consolation prize for trying so hard."

Tigerlily watched with annoyance as Peter practically skipped through the bushes over to Felix and pushed his nose up against his in a rare public display of happiness. Felix actually chuckled a bit in amusement at the action.

Tigerlily turned her gaze onto Tinkerbell who merely shrugged.

"I tried to tell you. Nobody can beat Peter."
