Sorry this took so long. I'll write the next chapter soon.

Peter led under the stars he was freezing cold but he didn't care. Tink was worried, Neverland had only ever been cold when Peter wasn't there. She had stopped making time go by quicker in London than in Neverland to make him happy but it made him more distant.
"What's wrong with father?" Asked Lightning quietly. The two other boys nodded behind him. They had emerged from the den silently and Tink jumped at Lightning's voice. "He's just a bit upset that's all. That's why it's so cold." She rang while looking at the shivering Trumpet. They went back inside and she flew over to Peter. She sat on his forehead and looked into his eyes making him smile slightly. A warm breeze flew through Tink and died away again.
"I need to go back. She doesn't know. She would choose me over him if she knew I had visited." His eyes passed over her again and back at the stars.
"Stop torturing yourself." Tink jingled angrily. "She has a husband. You cannot stop that." She stopped suddenly, "Besides I heard there is a new adventure to be had, the mermaids told me."
"I don't care." He turned over so that she couldn't stay on his head, Maybe she'll fly away and leave me al… an adventure? "What kind of adventure?"
Tink laughed, and answered "Pirates."
"Pirates?" Tink started to feel warmer than she had in days. Peter stood up with a grin on his face. He pulled out his dagger. "Who is leading these "libertines"?" He laughed slightly then remembered who had said it first while fighting the last pirates in Neverland. Slightly's voice and laugh filled his head, the warmth Tink had felt started to die away again.
"I am not sure but I have a feeling it is an old enemy of ours." Peter's curiosity rose and he let Tink land on top of his palm.
"Thanks, Tink. First thing tomorrow we give these pirates a welcome they will never forget." He walked inside the den with his head held high. He knew how to get Wendy back. For the first time for days he had a swagger in his step.
When the boys awoke in the morning they ran and flew to find the ship. It was a forty-gunner just like Hook's ship. Peter flew over the mast and a loud cry came from one of the men. Peter laughed at them he forgot how much fun terrorising pirates was. The sun was warm and bright and because of it's position Peter could use it to his advantage.
Once he had circled the ship a man with an enormous hat came out of the Bridge. His hat was large and blue with the same feather Hook had, had in his hat. The man walked out and stared at his men. He had a wild bushy beard and a pot belly. Unlike Hook who had worn a long red coat this man wore a brown jacket with a striped shirt. He looked up at Peter and Peter gasped, "Smee?" He started to laugh and almost flew into the mast. "It's Cap'in' Smee to you, boy!" He smugly replied, he pushed up his rounded glasses and winced as he looked into the sun.
Peter decided he couldn't do any damage to the pirates if he was laughing so hard that he couldn't see. The sun was scorching hot, which also made Peter think about going to tell the boys about Smee he landed but couldn't speak for a while. While he calmed down the other boys stared at him with smiles on their faces, at least he was happy. "It's Smee!" He finally cried. All of the boys looked at him. They were confused, who was Smee? Tink and Peter carried on laughing but it became a little uncomfortable after a while.
Peter looked at them "Smee. You know the one who…" He trailed off realising these were the wrong lost boys. He had to tell the others, he had to. The air became cold once again but the sun still shone. He flew away angrily from his new lost boys from new memories back to his old ones that came crashing into him like a hammer to the skull. The feelings he had felt when he sent Hook to his death, when he destroyed every pirate, her kiss. He let them overwhelm him and led him on towards London. The boys would want to know, Smee was a part of their long childhood.
Tink raced after him screaming "No! Peter, come back! Let them go!" In her usual tinkling bell way. Peter tried to ignore it as he blasted through the atmosphere. He was going to see Wendy tonight whether or not Tink liked it.
Tink hung back slightly as he flew past Big Ben. She knew she could not stop him. He raced towards the house and smiled as he saw the stain-glass window. He breathed in the cold air and peered inside. He scanned over each of the beds. Where was Wendy? He tried to pull open the window but it wouldn't budge. Panic started to rise in Peter. He couldn't open the window like Hook had said. He shouted, "Wendy!" At the window tears stinging his eyes and throat.
Someone sat up in their bed, pulled on a night gown and walked to the window. They opened it and exclaimed, "Peter! You're back!" Peter tried not to let Tootles see his disappointment. Tootles dragged him inside. "I have something to tell you." Peter said forcing cheerfulness, "There are pirates in Neverland again." The other boys in the room also stirred and stared in disbelief at the figure who sat on the end of Wendy's old bed.
"Pirates?" Nibs asked.
"They are being led by Smee." Peter giggled. The boys in the room fell about laughing, this is the reaction he had wanted from the others. "Come back and help me once again." He pleaded as the laughter died down. A stony silence filled the room suddenly. "We can't Peter. I have a job, and most of us go to school. We can't just leave." Peter stared at his friend, this wasn't the Tootles he remembered.
Each of the other boys agreed and hung their heads.
"Fine! I'll go tell Wendy then. She'll come with me! Which room is she in now?" Peter was trying to keep calm but it was difficult.
"She doesn't live here any more Peter." Curly answered quietly. "She lives East of Kensington Gardens." As soon as the words left his mouth he knew he had made a mistake and Nibs and Tootles glared at him as Peter flew out of the window.
