When Peter had gotten home he couldn't speak. All the girls were seated around the table with Michael and John. Peter just nodded to them and hid himself in his room. He slept for hours. In the morning when he awoke he checked on the girls. They were all sound asleep. Even Wendy's brothers were asleep in Jackie's bed. She bunked with her twin like all sisters do. Wiggles was wrapped in her blanket and half out of her bed. Peter fixed her as he glanced at Alice. She was trembling and moaning; a nightmare hit her again.

He gently woke her and she sat up. Taking her hand he led her outside. She was groggy but a run would help. As they got out of the tree they morphed into wolves. Alice was pure white with sad blue eyes. Peter pointed with his paw and off they ran. He wanted to check Wendy's little house in case she made it there. Half way there he saw her. Wendy was walking towards him!

Instantly he changed and leapt at her. They fell to the ground and she clung to him once she realized it was him. "Peter I missed you!" He helped her up as Alice jumped into her arms. Wendy spun her kissing her check.

"Where have you been mother?" Wendy looked away unsure how to explain.

"Hook had me he wants to know where you live. He dropped me off at the house. I didn't tell him where you live." Peter's face dropped. He approached Wendy whose hair was over her shoulder. Looking her over, he picked up Alice and set her down. She eyed the two from the ground. Peter brushed Wendy's hair back and sighed in relief when it was unharmed. Holding her close he breathed in relief.

"He didn't bite you." She shook her head and released him.

"He bit himself and made me drink to heal my leg. It broke when I fell out of the net." Suddenly he bent to check her legs. He was very unhappy but he smiled when he stood again.

"Let's go home. Don't worry you're safe now." Peter took her hand along with Alice's and walked his girls home. He was concerned about Wendy but he would not terrify her with the truth. She has his blood he can sense her feelings and whereabouts.

Once at the tree he sent Alice down to wake the others. Peter took Wendy's hand and smiled at her. He kissed bother cheeks then just held her. She ran his fingers through his hair and kissed the top of his head. His head rested on her shoulder and he just breathed.

"You mean so much to me and I was so scared. Tonight we will celebrate. Now let's see your brothers." Wendy kissed his cheek before they went inside. Everyone greeted her at once. She held her brothers longer.

"Jade, tell Tiger Lily to set up for a party, Wendy has returned." Jade hugged Wendy before running off.

Wendy was given food before they questioned her. She explained for awhile until Adrianna left the room. It was John who "sneaked" out to see her. Peter laughed to himself but returned to Wendy's voice. Wiggles was in his lap and Wendy was holding the twins. Michael and Alice were talking at the end of the table. His bear and her rabbit were sitting side by side on the table.

After Wendy told all she could Adrianna came out holding a blue dress. She twirled with it to show Wendy all of it. She gave her mother the dress and told her to go change. With a little rush Wendy went to put on the dress. Once it was on she spun around. The skirt was wide and swirled with her. It had small sleeves and a round neck. Janie walked in and went to her bed. She grinned at Wendy before duckling under the bed. When she returned her hands held a box.

With a little digging she pulled out a necklace. It was a wooden heart she carved herself. It hung on a green lace woven from small vines. She made Wendy wear it and received a big hung and a motherly kiss.

"Come on Wendy." Taking her hand, Janie took her to Peter and they all went to see Tiger Lily.

They arrived to music on drums. A fire was blazing and the sun had set. Wendy finally met Tiger Lily. Except when they were introduced the girl had Princess attached to her name. The girls curtsied to the Princess Tiger Lily and the boys bowed. She pointed to the circle and had them sit in a circle around it. A large man walked into the center. He wore a long trailing Indiana hat. Wendy assumed he was Chief. In his own language he congratulated Wendy's return and offered a peace settlement to fight Hook to the very end.

Peter stood and accepted as a second man appeared. In his hand was a long pipe. He handed it to Peter who inhaled to seal the deal. The Chief took it next. Tiger Lily took it next before giving to Wendy. The pipe traveled in a circle until Alice took the last breath. When the agreement was sealed they all began to dance. Peter took Wendy and held her close as they danced.

Half way through Tiger Lily pulled Peter away. Alice took Wendy and danced with her for awhile until Peter escaped to take Wendy into the woods. If they had stayed Wendy would have felt the cold eyes that just missed her. She would have noticed the hook that took her brothers and then a princess. Instead she was in Peter's arms laughing and smiling. Her heart beat faster after every kiss.

He was upset when the music started to die and he was forced to return. Along the way a spare hook met them. It was in a tree holding a note. Wendy shivered and made fists as Peter read out loud, "A day had passed my dear. You have not reported to me so I took your brothers. They will be safe until the tide rolls in at Marooner's Rock. To make sure Peter comes too I have his precious Tiger Lily. Only you two can come because I want to make a deal. I want Wendy by my side on the Jolly Roger and I want your soul Peter. Only then may you have the tree back. Hope to see you soon, Captain James Hook." Peter crumpled the paper and let it fall. Wendy held onto it as evidence.

Peter kept calm and thought it all over. He told Wendy to follow along. She was forced to hold back tears as they took the Lost Girls home. Each was tucked in Adrianna was put in charge. Wendy watched her children as peter escaped to his room to gather his supplies and regain his temper. He never once mentioned to any what was happening. All he needed to say was that they were not allowed to leave and all who did would be banished.
