After she got some rest, Y/n was sent out to wake up Henry. She crouched next to him, and gently shook his shoulder. He shot awake. "Hey, hey, calm down." She said trying to calm him down. The boy looked at her. "Who are you?" He asked her. Y/n smiled at him. "I'm Y/n." She tells the boy. He rubbed the back of his head. "Are you okay?" The girl asked him. He nodded. "Yeah, I just feel like I was hit in the head by something." He said. The girl smiled at him and handed him a bowl of water and an apple. "I don't like apples." He tells her. "Who doesn't like apples?" Y/n asked him sweetly. "It's a family thing." He explained. Y/n took the apple from his hand again. "I will get you something else to eat then. Please, drink, you have to stay hydrated." Y/n said and walked away. She soon returned with a bowl of berries. "Who are you?" Henry asked her again. Y/n giggled. "I already told you that." She reminds him. "No, I mean, who are you? Are you one of them? Are you with Pan?" He asked her. Y/n smiled at him. "I am with Pan." She tells him, "I'm the lost girl." She added. "I have never read about you. You never appeared in my story." He tells her, "only Wendy." He said. Y/n laughed a little. "She's in a story, but I'm not?" She asked him. Henry glared at Y/n making her laugh a little. "Eat. Pan wants to speak with you, later." She tells him. She stood up again and walked away from the boy. Pan walked out of the tent and walked towards her. "Is he awake?" He asked her. The girl nodded and kissed his cheek. "Good morning to you too, grumpy pants." She said and started to walk away again. Pan quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. He put his hands on her waist. "I'm sorry, Love, I'm just a little tense. Frustrated." He apologized. "I wish I could help you, but now that there are children around-" she smirked at him. Pan chuckled at her. "You're one nasty little girl." He smirked back at her. Y/n glanced at Henry before looking back at Pan. "I'm going to hunt with Felix." She tells him. Pan sighs and holds her hands. "Make sure to not get caught. Alright?" He asked her. Y/n let out a little giggle. "I never expected you to say that to me." She joked. Pan didn't answer. "Hey, we can still change the plan." She whispered. But Pan shook his head. "No, this is how we do it. I just don't like it." He replied quietly. "I'll be fine. And you're not letting me out of your sight. They won't catch me until I let them." She tells him. He kissed her forehead. "Don't get hooked." He whispered. "As long as you play for me tonight." She whispered back. Pan nodded quickly. Y/n smiled at him before squirming out of his grip and walking off to her tent.

Meanwhile, the adults have gathered Tinkerbell. They sat down and discussed their plans. Emma and Snow sat on a rock. Emma had a stick in her hand and pointed at the 'homemade blueprint' of Pan's camp. "This is where they're keeping Henry. Pan's compound. According to, uh..." Emma said. "Tinkerbell!" Tink filled her in. "I know, still weird to say," Emma tells her. "Tink is fine!" Tink replied. "Not sure that's any better. Anyway, she says that there are sentries positioned across the front which is why we are gonna come in through the back entrance. She's gonna talk her way in. Once she makes sure the coast is clear, then we're going to sneak in." Emma explained. "You'll still have to deal with any lost boys once you're inside," Tink informs them. Regina glanced up. "I think we can handle a few children with pointy sticks." She tells the fairy. "It's not the sticks you need to worry about. It's the position they're dipped in." The fairy replied. "Dreamshade. Hook warned us." Snow said. "Good! Because one nick and..." Tink started. "Poison sticks equal death. We got it. Now when can we put this rescue mission into action?" Charming asked her. "I'm ready to go. As soon as you tell me the exit plan." Tink said. The other adults looked at each other. "You do have an escape plan, don't you?" She asked them. "It's more of a last-minute trip." Snow tells her. "If you don't have a way off this island, then none of this matters," Tink informs them. "We'll figure it out," Regina replies. "You'll figure it out? No one comes and goes of this island unless he allows it. This is a waste of time. Once you figure it out, you know where I live." The fairy tells them and started to walk off. "What are we going to do now?" Regina asked them. Charming looked at Killian. "Hook, you got off this island." He said. "Aye, aboard my ship, which would require some form of magic to create a portal, which I got from Pan. In a deal, I don't think he's ready to repeat." Killian said. Which was true. Pan let him go, to spare his life. Killian remembered the words Pan spoke when he let him go. 'Leave this island...leave and never come back. I will spare your life, for now. But if I ever see you back here, don't expect me to do the same thing.' He told him. Regina sighed and sat down on a rock again. "I might know someone who got off this island without Pan's permission," Killian tells them. "Who?" Emma asked him. "Your partner in crime, Neal," Killian answered, "And I might know where to find the answers we need." He continued. He started to walk into the jungle. The others followed him.

Meanwhile, Tinkerbell was walking towards her treehouse. She felt someone's presence. She glanced up to look around. "Hello?" She said. No one responded. She looked around some more when she got grabbed from behind and a blade was pressed against her throat. "Hello, Tink." Someone said. Y/n stepped out from behind a tree. "Y/n, Felix, wonderful to see you again," Tink said. The girl stepped closer to the fairy. "So, a little bird told me that you have been meddling with the adults. How's that working out for you?" She questioned. "I'm not meddling with them." The fairy tells them. Felix, who stood behind the fairy, pressed the blade harder against her skin. "Oh, Tink, it would be a shame to force Dreamshade into your veins after all these years. Unless, of course, you tell us everything you know." Y/n tells her. "And why would I do that?" Tink asked and tried to push away Felix. But he only holds her tighter. "You shouldn't have done that, Tinkerbell." Y/n said, "Now tell us what they're up to, and you'll live." Y/n tells her. Felix was pressing the blade harder against the skin of her neck again. Tink groaned. "Fine! They're going to try and sneak into Pan's compound soon." The fairy tells them. "And why would they need you?" The girl asked her. "I don't know. Now, that's all I know, will you let me go now?" She asked. Y/n gave Felix a slight nod. The boy let her go and walked over to Y/n. "We'll let you be...for now," Y/n said. She and Felix disappeared back into the jungle. Tink sighed and continued to walk towards her treehouse.

A while later, Y/n arrived back at camp. She walked up to Pan who sat on a tree stump looking at the fire. Felix was checking around the camp to check on the lost boys who stood on guard. Y/n walked up behind Pan and covered his eyes. She heard Pan chuckle a little. "Guess who?" Y/n said. "Oh, a game! Uh...let me think. Sounds like a girl... Felix is that you?" Pan guessed. Y/n giggled and remove her hands from his eyes. "Ah, the lost girl, I should've known," Pan said. The girl giggled and sat on his lap. "Did you have fun?" Pan asked her. The girl nodded. "Felix is just doing the rounds. Did you have fun with Henry?" She asked him. He smiled at her. "Just shot some arrows. He's got what it takes." He said and glance at the boy. Henry sat alone on a tree stump. "Stay here," Pan said and stood up. He walked towards the boy. "You don't want to join the celebration, Henry?" Pan asked as he sat down in front of him. "Nothing to celebrate," Henry answered. "Nothing to celebrate? Henry, this whole party is to celebrate you." Pan tells him. "Me? Why?" Henry asked him. "Because you've come to save magic, of course. And I, for one, can't think of a reason more deserving of celebration than that." Pan tells him, "Just look at them." He added. Both of them looked at the lost boys and girl who danced around the campfire. "I'm not like you. Or you." Henry tells him sternly. Pan chuckled at him. "Of course you are. You're still a boy. Maybe a song will get you on your feet." He said and brought his flute to his lips. He started to blow slightly, which caused a soft tune to play. But Henry didn't hear anything. "I'm sorry, I don't hear anything," Henry tells him. "Interesting," Pan said and caught a glimpse of Felix who walked into camp. "I'll be right back," Pan said and stood up. "What? I know that look. What happened?" Pan asked Felix. "Baelfire. He got away." Felix tells him. "Well, then why didn't you get him back?" Pan asked him sternly. "I tried. I followed his trail and found two of our sentries knocked out...by a sleeping spell." Felix tells him. Pan started to smirk. "The dark one. So father and son have been reunited." Pan said. "They'll be coming for the boy. We should move him somewhere safe." Felix said as he looked at Henry. Pan looked at the boy as well. "Now, now, Felix. Where's your sense of adventure? We can't end the party when the real fun is about to begin." He tells his friend.

A little while later, while the adults were searching Neal's cave, Killian was starting at the drawings. "Who's that?" Emma asked as she walked up next to him. The others looked up as well. Killian rubbed his nose. "It's no one." He said. "You wouldn't be starting at that drawing if it didn't mean anything," Emma said. She took a closer look at the drawing. It was a girl. "Who is that?" Snow asked. Killian put his hand on the rocks and slightly touched the drawing. "Someone very important to Baelfire." He answered. "Love...ugh," Regina said. "Hey!" Emma glared at the woman. "It was more than that. They were friends, close friends. And in case you haven't noticed, it's pretty hard to find any friends in Neverland." Killian explained. "But you knew her as well, didn't you?" Emma asked him. Killian removed his hand from the rocks. "Aye." He said quietly. "Who was she? Wendy Darling?" Emma asked. Killian shook his head. "She was so much more...let's keep looking. It's just a drawing." He tells the others. Deep inside it crushed him to see that drawing. It crushed him, even more, when he had to step away from it. It was as if he left her behind all over again...
