The moon shined bright in the dark sky and lit it up like candles in a pitch black room. The stars were like the resident fairies and deep in Neverland Peter was sitting in the tree that Alice sat in when they had first met. He loved that he had found someone who was like him. He loves the Lost Boys but Alice is different... different but the same. That's why he had been chatting with the boys about a title they were going to give Alice. He wanted it to be different and something that she'll love... something special.
He watched the others play from where he was sitting with a smile laced on his face. Alice and the boys were playing a game of hide-and-seek. Peter loved the way she smiled and laughed; it was sweetly loud. With complete patience and silence, he sat there on the oak branch until the children below went back into the camp. He hopped from branch to branch then landed on the ground with a quiet thud. Peter would've flew but he wanted to be adventurous... like Alice.
As he slowly made his way back to the camp he was thinking about the adventures him, the Lost Boys and Alice had since they met. The parties with the Indians and the run-ins with Hook and his mangy pirates. Speaking of which, Hook had been acting rather strangely in Peter's opinion.
Meanwhile...
On the Jolly Roger, Hook was standing on the side of the ship. He was deep in thought as he stared off into the distance and watched the stars twinkle and sparkle in the moonlight. Ever since that idiot child met the brat with another stupid fairy he has had twice the trouble but the brat had a pirate follow her. Not just any pirate but a FEMALE pirate; she was called Captain Hectoria Harmona. In his old eyes, she was a beautiful woman with strawberry-blonde locks and ocean blue eyes... and a hook for a hand (the opposite to Hook's). Her ship had been scrapped by a rival pirate so he agreed that she could share his ship if she stayed with him. Obviously she had agreed because she loved his black locks and muscles and looks.
So the Jolly Roger had two captains; Captain James Hook and Captain Hectoria Harmona. The two captains were both merciless towards the flying duo and that is because the devils cut off their hands and fed them to devious creatures of the ocean. At night the pirate pair would dance under the moonlight with the hooks connected, Peter wasn't true when he said that Hook would never have anyone and that he'd die alone.
Hectoria thought the world of Hook and they were so nice together. Nothing would ever separate this pair, not even a pair of blighters who could fly without wings...

Back at the Lost Boys camp, the whole family sat and ate their food; it wasn't complete without a mother though. 'She's not going to be our mother' Peter thought in his head. He watched the rest of the boys eat the many wonders of food that were piled up on the table before them. Alice was sat between the twins and Curley with her mesmerising eyes shining. Subtly, Peter watched the girl with curiosity laced within his young eyes. Throughout his life in Neverland, he had never had the company of a girl; at least not one like Alice. She loved to play, get her hands dirty and above all she could fly. After eating, Alice and Glimmer went outside and bathed in the moonlight. With her gone Peter rounded up the boys.
"Right lads. Here's the thing... we need to come up with a title for Alice. She's NOT our mother, she doesn't act like one so she can't be one. Understand?"
With their heads bobbing up and down, the boys agreed with Peter and they sat down and thought of a title for their female comrade.
Outside of the camp, Alice wandered through the foliage and shrubbery with her fairy flying behind her. Alice looked and sounded like a child but the truth was she was so very old, like Peter. She hadn't aged a day since she left Everland. Everland was like Neverland but it was different, it was more crazy and more beautiful. Alice was a princess there but she had left because it wasn't all friendly and unicorns, in truth it was actually a dangerous place. When she left a pirate had followed her. Alice became friends with a boy like her and had a fairy as a companion. She missed her friends from the kingdom she had lived in, Evergreen, but she had to leave... for her own safety. Alice continued to wander through the forest but stopped when she neared a magical tree.
This tree told memories of the one who touched its bark. The memories were ones that could help the one who was lingering next to its roots. It could show the past and guide you to your future. Only beings with magical blood could read the tree, so Alice sat by the tree with sadness clouding her heart and covering her judgement. The longer she stayed in Neverland, the less she remembered who she really was. Alice had grown quite tired and nearly fell asleep against the comforting bark so she began her trek back to the camp. She loved the boys, not like sons but like brothers; she also loved Peter but she couldn't pin where and how she loved the unaging boy. When she had returned the Lost Boys and Peter where standing in a line with kind smiles on their faces but Alice was quite suspicious of what they were doing.
"What's the matter? Peter what've you got behind your back?"
Peter cleared his throat and presented Alice with a staff. "Alice, the boys and I have been thinking and we are going to give you the title of a Lost Girl!"
Alice smiled and curtseyed before the boys and the bowed in return. "Why thank you. I promise I'll be the best Lost Girl ever!"
And so she was ...
