Jason's P.O.V.

WHERE DID SHE GO?! HOW DID I LOSE A PERSON?! AND HER OF ALL PEOPLE?! I was angry with her and left her alone for like two seconds...I come back and she is NO WHERE TO BE SEEN. What am I supposed to do?

I've spent all night looking for her. Even though my stomach aches from some food (another pang of guilt for me. It reminds how much I love her cooking.) and my throat is basically dead from screaming her name (and no water) I can't go stop searching and go back to the Burrow. What would I say to Pan? Who even cares what Pan thinks?! I want to find her for myself!

I look around for the thousandth time, searching for any sign that Mari was there. And one again there is nothing... Sun light filters softly through the leaves of the trees but I don't have the time to take in it's beauty. The crinkling of leaves warn that someone is approaching and I turn around excitedly. She's back!

And of course my heart is broken for the millionth time. Instead of Mari it's Pan, with this very guarded look on his face.

"Jason, what are you doing here?" His eyes barely flicker in to our surroundings, and his eyes narrow. "Where is Mari?" Pan is giving me he death glare because he already knows... He is just daring me to say it so that he can get angry.

"Gone..." I rasp out. My throat is aching but I know it can't compare to what I'm feeling inside now...or what I'm going to fell outside when Pan is through with me.

"Gone?" Pan usually has this calm like mask on his face so that no one knows what exactly he is feeling. Even though he has this calm mask on his face right now I know that it's completely fake. He is just hiding the monster underneath there just ready to harm something (specifically me). No one gets Pan upset (which is something very hard to do) and expects to be safe afterward. Or alive (maybe because it takes a lot to anger him that since you have to something extremely bad. So if you did something very wrong that affects Pan please be prepared for some serious maiming.) .

"I lost her..." Pan's jaw clenches and I watch warily as his jaw muscles flexes angrily. Yea...I'm dead. But what does it matter if she is still gone?

Pan's P.O.V

HE LOST HER! THE MOMENT I DECIDE THAT I'M NOT GOING TO FIGHT IT HE UP AND LOSES HER! I had decided to discuss with my friend. How do you lose A PERSON?! I know she is as good as dead but I still have to search. I can't believe this moron lost her. And what's worse it that even though I'm aching to rip his throat out I can't. I need him to tell me where he last saw her and take me there. When I get her back I swear I'm never going to let her go.

"Where did you lose her?" I don't care if Jason looks horrible. A mild shock rolls over me from the fact that I care more about some girl (no matter how fragile, bewitching, or cute.) over my companion for centuries. I didn't take the time to analyze this though. I don't have the time. I need to find her.

Mari's P.O.V

After I had explained to Flora what had happened (or attempted to. I wasn't too sure what had happened myself.) she said that maybe we should go to sleep and that her mother probably wouldn't be coming home tonight.

We slipped quietly into her home (so that we didn't wake up Takoda) and Flora picked up two blankets from a corner. She handed a blue one to me and kept a brown one for herself.

"Mother made these," She whispered. "She is one of the best when it comes to crafting things." Her mother... We start settling down for the night and when we both get comfortable I ask the question that's been weighing on my mind.

"Um...Flora?"

"Hmm?"

"What's a mother like?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"You know...A mother. What's a mother like? What are they like? What do they do?"

"You don't know?"

"I've never had one...or a father." Flora laid there silently for awhile and I thought she had fallen asleep.

"A mother is," She suddenly started whispering to me. " ...All mothers are different. They are..." She seemed to be at a loss for words.

"A mother isn't born, she is made." Takoda's calm voice floated out from under a huddle of blankets.

"Takoda?" Flora seemed just as startled as I was. "I'm sorry, did we wake you?"

"No, I've been up this whole time." The whole time?!

"Oh..."

"Mari to answer your question, a mother is not born but made. Of course you can be born with the instincts of a mother but you will never be a mother until something makes you one." Makes you one? "You learn to be a mother as you go, and that's if you were ever really meant to be mother. Take Flora, for instance. If she were to have a child now, she would be a horrible mother."

"Well excuse me! If that's how it is, then you would be a horrible father. Now."

"Oh, I know," He replied easily. "That's why I make sure that there aren't any children of mine running around. We are just too young. That proves my point. I'm positive that in a few years you would be a wonderful mother, Flora. But now you wouldn't be. Same way that I couldn't handle being a father now. Does that make sense Mari?"

"Um...yes...?" I wasn't expecting Takoda to be serious. When we had first met he had been a constant source of confusion. All he did was tease to the point that I couldn't tell whether he was being serious or just playing with me. That's what he made me feel like. He always had this all knowing smirk on his face and when he spoke it seemed like that he knew something about me that I didn't. It felt like he was playing with me, like I was a toy to amuse him (which I'm telling you made me very uncomfortable.). I could tell something was different about him, but I couldn't tell until about five minutes into the conversation. I was suspicious and I crossed my eyes and made faces at him and he didn't even blink. And just to make sure (at the risk of looking very odd if he could see) I poked my chest and he still didn't respond. He was blind but it wasn't like it was obvious that he was. I was just wondering why his eyes never left my face when things happened (like a spark flying up from the fire.)

"You'll figure out what I mean whenever it is that you become a mother." When I became a mother... I had never thought of one day being a mother...Doesn't a mother need to a father? And what if I'm not a good mother? What if I don't like my child (which I doubt but what if my kid is just really annoying? What do I do then?) WHAT IF MY CHILD DOESN'T LOVE ME?! All these thoughts are flying around in my head and I don't think I really want a child...I don't want to do something wrong and it hurts them in any way. I can't deal with that.

A soft sigh comes from Flora (she has fallen asleep) and I realize that I've been biting my lip. I release my aching lip and lick it because I seemed to be having a cannibal moment and I made myself bleed. That's gonna hurt tomorrow. A sigh escapes from me as I tenderly dab at me lower lip.

"Don't worry," He isn't asleep yet?! "I think you'll be a perfect mother. All the right traits." Is he a mind reader?! STAY OUT!

After the day I've been through, all I want to do is sleep not stress out over teasing, smirking, mind readers (even the smirk is very cute!). And maybe that's what I should do. Just...sleep...

…...

I woke up to find sunlight streaming lightly through the open door of Flora and Takoda's house. A petite woman in a soft earthy brown dress sat near a fire, a small bowl was in her hands and she was watching me quietly. This must be Flora's mother...

"Hello," She murmured daintily, matching her face perfectly. She seemed so delicate. Like a little figurine. "You may call me Ina. Now eat." She held the bowl toward me and I sat up straightening the blankets as I did so. She gave a satisfied nod when she saw me do this, but continued to hold the bowl toward me. Even though I'm a cook, I'm a picky eater (it's rare for me to try some of the food I make...I'll try it if I'm worried it's not edible at all before I give it to someone else.) so I'm very wary of whatever is in that bowl. But I'm a guest here so I'll have to take what I can get. I careful take the bowl from her slim hands and lift it to my lips. It's not warm... But a fragrant scent floats up from of. It smells like...Flowers? I take a little sip and it proves to be just as good as it smelled. Sweet but very tart. If you drink to much the tartness explodes in your mouth (but I like it like that.)

"So...Ina. What is this?" I bring the bowl up to my lips again, when I say this. She smiles happily, transforming her somewhat solemn (though pretty) face into one incredibly similar to Flora's relaxed one.

"You like it? My children love this. It's called berry soup. They insisted that you have that as your first meal here." She eyes me carefully, sizing me up (why does this remind me of the silver wolf? It's not a hungry look...more like what the heck are you...). "So how long have you been here? A day? Two?"

"I think some weeks." She blinked at me, tilting her head slightly.

"Weeks! How did you survive?"

"Well after the first few days I lived with a group of boys. I don't know what you call them but I call them the Lost Boys."

"Then why were you out alone last night? If they are supposed to be taking care of you then what happened?" A shifted uncomfortably... What was I supposed to say? I thought I had made some friends or at least people who didn't want to kill me and then one up and leaves me in the middle of the forest to die? What else could I really say? So that's what I say and she then she looks like a real angry wolf. And she leaps at me!

She wraps me in this bear hug of hers (wow, she's strong for a little woman.) and I realize whatever anger she has is not directed toward me (something tells me that I should be really grateful that it's not.).

"How could he! Oh, people like that are the worst in the world. They purposely cause pain. And you could've died!" Ina (wait, didn't Flora say Ina meant mother? Does that mean that Ina wants me to call her mother since that's what she said? Or is it tradition? Whatever the reason a warm feeling spreads through my heart at the thought that I have a mother.) pulls away from me and looks me straight in the eyes. "You are welcome here. I will adopt you as my own daughter and you will grow up in this village with the privileges as such." Thump Thump. If my heart always was on this high then I would be the happiest person in the world (FOREVER). Daughter...Flora's sister...It's like she read my mind (I can see where Takoda got it from then.)! " You will learn the ways of the village, and of course, marry into the village," WHOA! We went from childhood to marriage! How'd that happen?! "And as part of the Chief family you will be trained in things that no others know." Ina seems to be happy. Funny how she went from this suspicious woman to mother bear (or wolf?) to excited over the course of the conversation. But I can see how, when I think about.

She didn't know who I was or what I was about. But when I explained how I'm victim (Attempted murder on Jason's part), she immediately changes into this protective (and somewhat aggressive) force to be reckoned with. And after she realizes that I have no where to go (and that I most likely won't be going anywhere if she can have it her way) she becomes sympathetic and eagerly begins to plan out a future that she thinks is best for me. Is that what a mother does? If it is then I don't think it will be that hard...But then again...Overall I like my new mother.

"Now...Tell me where you were from originally and what life was like." Where did that come from?! A small sigh escapes my lips, and my fingers somehow get near my mouth and I'm ready to gnaw through my finger. I've recently found out that I don't do well with the old memories...They make my dreams a whole lot more vivid (and very creepy.) and my nightmares never go away (I will always remember them by the time I get ready to go to sleep...Dreaming of Jonathan's drunk face is not the way to get a good nights rest.). But Ina is waiting for me to respond. I just tell her everything that I can remember.

I didn't mean to tell her everything but I did...It just came out. And after her tutting and hugs (which she gave out both pretty frequently.) she insisted that I get some fresh air. I didn't know that I would feel so...relieved...to just tell her every thought I had run through my head (well, not every...some things I don't think I'll tell anyone...well maybe Flora...she seems like she would understand.) since that night with Jonathan til now. So the thought of getting fresh air seemed kind of ordinary but maybe it would be different since I was new here.

Ina (I still can't get over that! Mother!) follows me outside then points me in the direction of the fields.

"I'm positive that one of children will be somewhere in there. Don't wander any farther then the fields," she instructed me in a matronly tone (or motherly? No one has ever spoken to me like this so I'm guessing it has to be a motherly tone right? The one thing I haven't heard.) "If you get hungry, then tell Flora or Sky and they can get you something. We will of course talk more over the situation but for now enjoy your stay!" And then she practically shoved me into a field and just stood there smiling at me. When I just stood there watching her just to make sure if she was seriously pushing me into a a field that I'm not familiar with to search for someone (and the place is huge and empty looking.). She just smiled encouragingly and made this shoeing motion.

I turn around a slowly make my way into the tall stalks and turn around half-heartedly. Maybe she will get that I don't want to go? Nope. No such luck. Ina just grinned at me and I felt like I had no choice. With a sigh I pushed more stalks out of my way, wondering just where I should start looking first.

Makawee's P.O.V.

I watched the poor girl force corn stalks away from her face as she made her way through the field. Her life was so tragic...yet she seemed to be kind and intelligent, though a little skeptical of things. But it's only natural that she is cautious after what she's been through. And the cautious woman is the wise woman. Flora could benefit from her company.

But watching her trudge bewilderedly into the field reminded of me when Flora and Sky were small...If I could just shrink them back! And make them need their mother again... Flora had not turned out at all as I planned but that is not a major problem for me (until recently.). I love the way my daughter is :bright, intelligent, observant , and caring. The makings of a true leader. But she is also reckless. To bring an outsider into the village! Even though it was commendable of her to save a life...I now realize that I have to be stricter with her just as my brother said.

On the other hand my little boy...so determined to never be behind and hating pity, he is one of the most capable people in the village, blind or not, and young too. But now he is so aloof. I can never tell just what exactly he is thinking...I think he only shares his thoughts with Flora. I smile ruefully as I turn toward the village. They have been close despite their differences. A soft music from a flute floats to me as I enter my village.

A flute...it reminds me of Pan. He has been here longer then I have been alive but he is still a child! He needs to learn to control his men, and take care of his people! To let such a thing happen to that girl. I marched straight into my brothers house, where a meeting was being held about Mari's arrival.

"Makawee, you are late," Mankato said in the mother language, with a tone of disapproval. Even though I am a woman I am still a the leader of this village and I can't have him belittling me (even if he is my brother and it's unintentional) in front of other, who may have a problem with my being female.

"Yes, I am aware," I start curtly (also in my native tongue.). "I was observing the girl and gathering information. From what I can tell it is imperative that we send a message to Pan, requesting his presence immediately regarding the girl's living arrangements." Confusion flashed over everyone's face, wondering just how it happened that Pan needed to be involved. "And just so that it is not unexpected, if I have my way and I see that it is beneficial, I will personally adopt this girl into my family as a daughter and raise her accordingly...with the privileges-" A sudden uproar came from my fellow villagers. Though most of them were family, many of them weren't taught the second language nor are they expected to have studies in certain things. Those are reserved strictly for people who will have a lead in the village,such as being a chief (like me, though I am the first woman.), learning healing or battle techniques,communicating with outsiders, and communicating with other creatures of Neverland. So if I were to adopt Mari, should would be able to learn any if not all of these things, but she would specialize in one (like Sky who specializes in communications of all kinds and Flora who has a gift for handling a bow and arrow as well as a vast knowledge of herbal secrets.) or two. The fact that she is an outsider only deepens their worry.

But I have to stand firm by my decision as a leader. "I've spoken," Immediately a hush fell over the group. "Send out a message to Pan demanding his immediate presence." Now I just had to wait...

Pan's P.O.V.

Jason had taken me to the area where he had last seen her and I swear it took everything I had not slit his throat. From what we could tell from the impressions in the ground and scratches on the bark. She had been there with at least 4 large wolves. But I refuse to let this go... I will find her even it's just her body. I have to know if this is really happening to me.

We began searching the surrounding areas, calling her name. A soft breeze rustled the trees and it seemed completely out of place that the day could be so pretty yet she was gone. Then as if carried by the wind an Indian appeared before us. This was typical of them...to appear out of nowhere. But I'm not in the mood to deal with their disappearing acts.

"What do you want?"

"We request your presence." The boy was younger then us (he was very slender though he was obviously strong.), but he walked confidently and actually seemed to view us without any particular interest.

"I apologize," I started coldly. "But-"

"It's more of a demand." He interrupted me without even a blink of an eye lash. Usually they are more polite. But a demand? I noticed for the first time that he had to medium sized knives hanging from his waist. He followed my gaze, and nodded silently. So...what was so important that they would try to force me to come? I wouldn't! Not when Mari was alone out here...who knew what could happen to her?

"I repeat..." A small sigh escaped the boys lips.

"No, I feel like I must explain this to you. You have no choice. You are commanded to the village whether you like it or not." Jason made this odd rasping noise which I take was his way of saying something rude but his throat was ruined.

"I don't feel like you are in the position to be threatening us. It's two against one."

"Who said I was alone? And for the record I could easily take the both of you imcompe-"

"Ciqala. Hold your tongue." Another boy seemingly emerged out of thin air near a tree. There was an obvious resemblance between the two, but he seemed to be taller and older. "I apologize for my brother, but what he says is true. You must come."

"I am preoccupied with an important matter so-" I was once again rudely interrupted (this seems to run in the family.). I was not in the mood for this. If they insisted on getting in my way I would have to make them leave (even though it would cause some serious repercussions with my relationship with the Indians.)

"Did you lose something?" I froze at this. I eyed him carefully. His face remained emotionless while his younger brother looked smug. "Perhaps a person?" So he knew... "A girl?" I didn't reply but Jason began rasping like crazy.

"Ahh...Well, I see now. We were mistaken," He bowed his head. I hated this. This kid, who hadn't even lived a third of how long I had, was mocking me. "Please accept our apologies for interrupting your..." He glanced around wonderingly. "Search. We will leave. Ciqala, let's go." Ciqala, who I now know that I don't like just as much as his brother, cast a smirk in my direction. But a cold glance from his elder brother wiped his face clean. Jason's annoying rasping was going to kill me if I didn't do something...

"I will come." The two boys both turned their face sideways that we could their profile. Both of their faces showed no hint of what they were thinking at first. Then a sly smile spread across both their faces (admittedly it looked creepy. I could now easily tell that they were related.). They turned partially around to give us a devilish Cheshire cat smile. Not a good sign.

Mari's P.O.V.

Maybe I should still be looking for Flora but...It's just so beautiful outside today! Nothing could make this day better. I had laid down in a middle of the field (I know it's weird but if you haven't figured it out already I am weird.) and just stared at the sky. The earthy smell rafted around me mixed with what I think could only be described as freshness. It was this wonderfully crisp like air around which reminded me of autumn (next to winter autumn is my favorite season. I absolutely hate spring and summer is just...). But I have been here a little too long... What if Flora is looking for me?

I slowly pushed myself up and stood. Gazing around over the stocks the best that I can (I am kinda short so...) I can't see any indication that Flora was anywhere to be seen. However behind me was the forest with several paths leading into it. Ina had said to stay in the field but...There was a path so I couldn't get lost? When I think about it sounds stupid and something inside of me is screaming DON'T DO IT, but I'm honestly bored and where else can I look? All I can do is make sure that I don't go far...

As I trudge through the field I feel very confused. I feel like I really should be staying in the field like Ina wants but I'm curious. And the fact that the forest looks so pretty is driving me closer still. I finally reach one of the the paths (there was only one near me, the rest are spread way out.) and step tentatively onto it. Nothing grabs me so I start walking down. Soft whooshes make the green leaves wave softly over head. It's slowly starting to calm me, lulling me into a fake sense of security. I suddenly found myself in a clearing where this sweet scent floated around strongly. Someone was there...It was not Flora. Takoda was sitting on this log his long legs spread out in front of him, a thin stick was by his feet. He raised his hand to mouth and popped something into it. Now me being weird (as mentioned before) I just stood there watching him silently. Then out of no where he speaks!

"Come here," He turns his face toward me which makes me wonder if he is really blind. "Come here." Oh, right. I needed to move. Walking over to the log I sit on the very edge. He makes this tsking sound and smirks at me. "Closer. I don't bite." That's yet to be determined. But despite that I move an inch closer. "Little more." No not a little more but I comply anyway because at the moment he is giving off that same aura that Ina gave toward Jason and Pan. These two...can be very scary even if they are smiling (It seems like its a front. Like they are waiting for you to get close enough to get you, hence the smiling way of luring you in.). I move a little closer and then he stops smiling which scares the crap out of me since he starts frowning (this is what I don't get. How is it that one moment I feel completely safe but the next I feel like screaming stranger danger and running?).

"I said," He reaches out and grabs the sleeve of my dress. Jerking his wrist he manages to force me close without ripping the fabric (which I'm pretty sure should be shredded with the force that he put on it...). Isn't he supposed to be blind? How did he know where exactly my arm was? "Come closer." The warm smile flashes right back on to his face and he releases my arm (while I remain in a state of shock. Should I be scared or pissed? Or just ignore it? Yea...nothing happened... besides the fact that I'm a little too close to him but...).

"So now why are you here?"

"Um, what?"

"Why... Are. You. Here?" Something about the way he deliberately says this slowly as if I'm the epitome of idiocy ticks me off.

"Well, now, I don't know! Maybe I, I dunno, walked?" Takoda's smirk widens a little (looks a little more devilish...can that be described as sinister in a way?) at my sarcasm and I feel like I really just tempted him into something that should not be happening.

"Doesn't that seem...I dunno... A little to normal for you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?! I am normal!" Tilting his head slightly in a way similar to his mother (I swear she looks like Flora but for the most part he is her twin personality wise. Very strong willed, stubborn, and slightly...imposing? You just know they can get you if they really felt like it.).

"You? The girl who pops up from...Where exactly? And let's just ignore the fact that you stalked me-" Stalked?!

"Whoa, what? When did I ever stalk you? I just met you!"

"No one has ever been here, except for Flora, and you somehow manage to make your way to this specific spot? My spot?" His spot...Why couldn't it just be a coincidence (like it really is.)?

"I didn't know this was your spot..." I mumbled quietly. He made me seem like some weird freak...

"Which again brings me to the question :Why are you here?"

"I was looking for Flora..." All of the sudden he turns his head to the other side his face becoming clear and focused...What's up with him?

"Hmm..." He stays quiet for a while and I find my relaxing even though at the slightest shift I bump shoulders gently with him. The area is beautiful, and I find myself once again lulled into feeling safe. Despite his sarcasm and teasing way Takoda is a people person (does that make sense?). His personality makes you want to be around him even if it's confusing. And having by my side isn't as bad as I thought...Well I thought. Then he just went off into this totally different direction from this calm mood.

I wasn't even paying attention to him but all of the sudden I feel this soft tug at my hair.

"What? Why?"

"I wanted to..." He has this very calm almost peaceful look on his face. To my surprise a soft chuckle escapes his lips (which are a bit closer then they were before...I'm positive about that.). "It's soft..."

"Well, it's hair, so..." My throat seems very dry all of the sudden. Why did I say that? 'It's hair.' What else is it?! But he doesn't seem to mind. So I'm trying to focus on something that isn't, you know...His gorgeous face, and I end up looking at the little space between our knees (if I shift just a little they would be touching.). So I'm once again surprised when he pops something into my mouth.

"Mhm!"

"Chew it." He instructs quietly. I'm a little too aware that he has one hand in my hair (which he insists on pulling on in the most distracting manner.) and the other one holding my chin, where he had just deposited a berry into my mouth. And yes, that berry was delicious but the fact that he was stroking my bottom lip with his thumb (again distracting but by no means uncomfortable.) is making me completely ignore the burst of flavor in my mouth. Even though I know he can't see I stare into his dark brown eyes (maybe that's why. He can't see me having and extremely weird moment.) which have the thickest lashes I've ever seen (Chestnut had previously had the thickest and Pan the longest but Takoda lashes cast these long shadows onto his cheeks.). He really is beautiful. I blinked a little and decided to close my eyes simply to enjoy the air and the fact that what he was doing was actually relaxing. He blew out a little air and it hit me very hard (not hard...just the fact that he was so close.). Opening my eyes, I blinked hard. When did his face get that close? What...Is he going to kiss me?

"Mari!" The random break in my (our?) moment makes me try to turn and see what it is but Takoda's gentle grip on my chin immediately changes into a death grip.

"No, look at me only." What the heck?! The person who had called my name was rushing toward us (I could hear these angry stomps.) and before I knew it I felt my hand being yanked and I was pulled away from Takoda's safety bubble (I'm so serious. As soon as I left the reach of his arms I had like a mini panic attack. Like I had just woken up from a dream and I was in place that I didn't know.). Takoda readily relinquished his grip on me (If I'm going to be honest, I didn't want him to let go.) and I find my self being pulled along and away by a tall, dark, curly headed figure.

Pan's P.O.V.

No one understands. No one. I'm already pissed off and when I finally find her (even though I'm relieved that she seems to be unharmed.) she's basically sitting in the lap of this RANDOM GUY! I wanted to hurt him so badly but I couldn't. Not in front of her. The fact that when she heard my voice she tried to look for me and he prevented it just made matters worse. Maybe I should be mad at her but I've never given her any indication that I might actually be interested in her so why would she not go for someone else? But that wasn't the problem. Before I even called her name she had looked confused about the situation and when she heard my voice she looked worried. And the whole time this guy has this completely calm look on his face like he can't even see the fact that she doesn't know what the heck is going on! I didn't say anything. Just grabbed her and started into the forest, going downhill.

She's stumbling behind me because of my speed and she has yet to speak.

"Pa-Pan? What are you doing? What are we doing?" We finally reach the bottom of the hill and I let go of her hand. I'm seeing red blotches in my vision. The one time when I have a lead on the Orb and she's my one chance to finding it. And then it's her...Just herself. It's addicting to be around her even if she doesn't know. But between trying to sort out feelings for her and trying to figure out just where exactly the Orb is and whether or not Hook knows about it...It's just too much. I need to prioritize. But of course when I hear her voice that all vanishes (all sane thoughts vanish.).

"Pan? Are you okay?" Was I okay? Before I knew it I was in front of her and she was backed up against a tree. I leaned on my fist which had somehow connected to the tree (it was a blur...really. Just a rush.) and lowered my head so that I was eye level with her. Her eyes were wide as she stared at me in shock (not fear. Which was a relief for me because the last thing I want to do is scare her.).

"No...I'm not okay."

A/N: WOOT! I FINALLY FINISHED. I HAD MANY DIFFICULTIES AND IDK IF I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE BUT I THINK PAN LOOKS SIMILAR TO EZRA MILLER. AND...I GOTTA GO! BUT! THEME SONG...UMMMMMM...IDK...ONE IN A MILLION BY AALIYAH. AND MY PERSONAL FAVE IS TAKODA CUS HE JUST DUN CARE! IF WANTS SOMETHING HE GONNA TAKE IT! AND POOR PAN! HE GETTING EMOTIONAL!
