"I-Is she dead?"

"No, look at her chest, she's breathing"

"I can already see the bump forming. I sorta wanna touch it"

"Don't you dare!"

"OW, Tiger Lilly! That hurt, why'd ya hit me?"

"Guys, guys! She's waking up"

Ugh, where was I? And why was my head aching? I opened my eyes only to be met with at least three children staring at me. I was in a state of confusion until I remembered what happened. I was hit over the head by one of those Pirate brutes. Oh right! Everyone was fighting, I promised Peter I'd protect the others, but instead I get knocked out. How shameful of me.

"W-What happened?" I gasped, attempting to sit up.

"No, don't move. He really got you." The Raven haired girl spoke, pushing me back into a laying position. "There's nothing to worry about, after you were knocked out Slightly and Nibs showed up. They got really mad and beat those men until they were black and blue. You should have seen it!"

"Slightly and Nibs?" I recognized Slightly as soon as I laid eyes on him. He was the blonde with the overly concerned look on his face, so.. The other boy with Chestnut colored hair must have been Nibs.

"Thank you" I felt rather weak, my words seemed to come out as a whisper. Hopefully they were able to hear me.

"No problem Wendy, I'm just glad you're okay!" the blonde replied, sliding up closer to me. "You were really awesome! You saved the Indian chief!"

"I bet he woulda kicked the bucket if you hadn't shown up" Nibs cut in, thus receiving a glare from Slightly.

"Don't say that in front of Tiger Lilly, dummy!"

"But it's true!"

So the man was okay? Thank goodness…wait.. He was Chief? Didn't that make Tiger Lilly a princess? How amazing was that? I was meeting a living, breathing princess!

"I'm so glad he's okay. Where is he? Speaking of which. Where are we?" I scanned the room realizing the walls were made of some sort of material

"Father is in another teepee, getting his wound wrapped up along with Peter. It seems he too got injured in the fight, don't worry though, he's alright it wasn't anything serious"

"Peter? So where are the pirates now?" I'd hate for them to pop out of nowhere again. Obviously no one was in any condition to fight again. I really hoped Peter was okay. Maybe I should have stayed to help him? But then would I have been of any use? Maybe I would've just gotten in the way?

"Those fools ran away with their tales between their legs. Even Hook the codfish was yelping. Everyone knows you can't defeat Peter pan, it's impossible." Nibs explained, grinning deviously.

"Are you really alright Wendy? Do you need anything? I'm really sorry we didn't show up sooner" Slightly spoke up, it almost looked like he was about to burst out into tears. I reached out, patting his knee comfortingly. He really did remind me of John in some ways.

"I'm alright, really. It was just a bump, nothing to worry about." He seemed to relax a bit then nodded. "If you need anything let me know"

"Kiss up" Nibs sneered.

"AM NOT, SHUT UP NIBS"

"Weren't there more of you here? What happened to them?" I asked. There were only two boys in the teepee but I remembered Peter saying there were others.

"Ah, they're helping chop firewood. They weren't hurt so they offered to help" Tiger Lilly explained. I was glad to hear they were alright as well; I was looking forward to meeting these boys.

"Thank goodness" I smiled.

"Um Wendy, do you by chance remember me?" The Indian princess asked, tilting her head. Curiosity gleamed in her beautiful brown eyes.

"I-…no, I'm sorry. I really can't remember anyone. Though, it seems like everyone remembers me. I feel terrible about that"

"Don't feel bad, we didn't really speak, but I noticed that Peter was even happier than usual when you were here"

"Really?" I blinked. "How could he be anymore happy than he is now?"

"You see?" Tiger Lilly chirped. "Once you left, he wasn't that happy. I mean- he was happy, but …he wasn't as happy. I think you changed him"

"You give me too much credit. I doubt I made that much of an impression on him"

Tiger Lilly remained silent while arching a brow. "Why would he bring you back? No one who comes to neverland and leaves ever comes back"

Before I could speak, she got up and walked over to the exit. "I bet you're all hungry. I'll bring some food back. Boy's, don't make too much noise"

"Bring LOTS of meat, Tiger Lilly! I'm starving"

"You're going to get fat, Nibs"

"Shut up, Slightly."

They sure were a lively bunch.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm not sure when I passed out again; it must have been around the time the boys were arguing over who was smarter. As I regained consciousness, I noticed the unusual quietness. Maybe they grew bored and left to wander off somewhere?

Thankfully, the pain in my head had subsided a bit. It was still sore but much better than before. It was pleasing to find that I could sit up without flinching.

"Ah, Wendy. You're awake. Great!"

I snapped my eyes open, recognizing that voice straight away. It was Peter's, how long had he been watching me sleep for? For reasons unknown, I felt embarrassed. Brushing a few strands of hair from my face, I looked over into his direction. He sat in the middle of the teepee with his legs crossed and a satisfied smile on his face. It was concerning to see that bandages had been wrapped around his waist and right shoulder. I sort of wondered where his shirt had gone.

"W-What are you doing here?" I questioned, arching a brow.

He sat there silently just grinning at me, until he finally scooted closer. "I wanted to see if you were okay. Everyone was really worried. I heard about you whacking that pirate in the head with a log" he was more than a little amused by this. "I would've loved to see that."

"Obviously it didn't help much; I was knocked out right after. By the way, what happened to you?" I eyed the bandages. He must have been hurt pretty bad. Tiger lilly had said it was nothing serious, however it still didn't look Pleasant.

. How could he sit there like he wasn't in any pain at all?

"That ol'codfish. Got a good swing at me, but don't worry, next time I'll make him pay." His determination was admirable though it did make me worry. He didn't plan on fighting him again straight away, right?

"Also" his eyes narrowed. "I'll be teaching his little crew a lesson too. After hearing about what they did to you and the Chief, I shoulda killed them" he trailed off into a growl.

"Oh, Peter. It wouldn't be worth killing them, everyone's alright anyway" He was a bit scary when he was mad. I was glad to be on his good side.

"Hah, you're right. Besides" he suddenly flashed a piece of paper in front of my face. "I have what they want!"

Skimming it over, it was clearly a treasure map. "I thought they just wanted to trick you?"

"Thought so too, till I talked to the chief. He said that they were asking for this certain map but he refused to give it to them. He ended up giving it to me as a thank you."

"So what do you plan on doing with it?"

The copper haired boy looked at me as if I had said something crazy. "Well, we're gonna follow it of course. Hook would hate us getting anything that he wanted"

"Wait, by us what do you mean" was I getting dragged into this too?

"Me, Tink. The lost boys and you"

Yes, indeed I was.

"But, I'm not very good at hunting for treasure. I wouldn't be any use." He was clearly not buying my excuse, which was unfortunate for me. I was done with 'adventures' for a while. Of course, I'm sure I really didn't have a choice.

"We all need you, you're our mother. You're an important part of the game" he explained factually.

…There he goes again; I really wished I could remember how I became their 'mother'

"But" I pointed my finger upwards. "Why is there only a mother? Shouldn't there be a father too?" I was hoping this would make him rethink the whole mother thing. It felt a little awkward with him talking like this.

"Hmm. You have a point." He sat there pondering; as he did this he made a humming noise until he nodded confidently. "Then I'll just have to be the father. It's only fair"

I felt my entire face heat up. That's not what I expected him to say. Now my situation was even more awkward than before.

"What? You want to be the father?"

"Yep, seems like it suits me better, now that I think about it"

"Ah..Then, um. Shouldn't Tinker bell be the mother?"

Peter's face paled. From the look of things he was in shock. "T-Tink can't be the mother. Are you crazy?"

"Okay, okay" I waved my hands defensively "Then, what about Tiger Lilly?"

Peter pressed his hand to his face. I suppose he didn't like that idea either. "Wendy, you're the mother. It can't be changed."

"But, you changed from being a son to a Father!"

"I'm allowed to do that"

"Why?"

"Because I'm the boss"

I groaned, lying back down on the blanket. "Fine, you win."

He grinned cockily before lying next to me. "Great, so for this game we're husband and wife" why was he so pleased by this?

"Yeah, I guess we are. So, have you any idea where to start looking for this treasure?" I took the map from him, staring at it. I was stumped. In my opinion it made no sense. "Just looks like scribbles"

"I guess it would look that way to you, but I know this Island like the back of my hand. So of course I know where to find it"

I rolled my eyes, pushing him so that he wasn't so close to me. "Then you want me to just trust you?"

"Yep"

"Okay, I'll try, but now what?" I sat up, turning to face him properly. "We can't go on any treasure hunt yet, you're hurt. You need to heal first"

"Don't worry" he chuckled, sprawling out. "Pan's gone through worse than this. Besides, sooner is better than later. I want to see those pirates weep once they see we've got their precious treasure. They could be searching for it as we speak. I won't allow them to win."

"You're such a child" I scoffed.

"Thank you." he suddenly whistled. Making me cringe a bit.

"What are you?"

Within seconds, the golden fairy zoomed into the teepee; a curious expression appeared on her flawless features.

"Tink, get the boys. We're going on a hunt"

Tinker Bell blinked a few times before groaning over dramatically.

"Just do it!" he snapped. With that, she fluttered out.

Looks like I was going on my very first treasure hunt, hopefully things didn't get any more dangerous than they already were.
