All hell broke loose at seven o'clock. I heard heavy sighing, the banging of pots, and the stinky smell of burnt toast. I got out of bed and put on my slippers. Gosh, what are those silly little boys doing? The boys dropped everything when they saw me. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Peter decided to speak, "We were -um- trying to make you breakfast." He started to giggle and comb through his hair again.

"Don't worry about it. Do you guys want to see some real pancakes?" They all shouted loudly, I'm pretty sure Captain Hook heard them from the other side of the island. I got out some batter and helped them until we had made 8 giant pancakes. The little skunk boy couldn't eat most of it, but the bear boy decided that he should step up to the plate and finish it for him. Sarah woke up at ten o'clock, about the time we were getting ready to go to the Indians for my new hammock.

"Oh, Peter, you're leaving already?" she glanced over at me, "Maybe I should come."

"Oh no, you had your date with the mermaids today for water polo." I laughed a little. Water Polo? With Mermaids? How funny. "Don't laugh, Nitya. She's a skin walker, Sarah can change into any animal at any given time." Sarah started to blush.

"Oh, Peter. She didn't know what I was, you don't have to scare her." She giggled and ran off to the mermaids.

"Well, we should get going. The Indians await us." We following in a strait line, each boy holding a weapon, some had wooden swords while others had homemade bows and arrows. Once we arrived a few Indians glanced at us and shook hands, while the rest sat down and didn't even acknowledge us. Tigerlily walked out gracefully near Peter, followed by her fiancé, a buff Indian with tattoos of hands and bear slapped on him with paint. "Ah, Peter. I've missed you." She took off his hat and put it on her head.

"Lily, can you get the weavers to make another hammock for our new lost boy, Nitya?" She nodded and got another hammock.

"We knew you would get a new lost boy soon, so we made another bed." Peter bowed to Tigerlily and her fiancé as we headed off. The twins decided it would be fun to swing back and forth from the hammock, which wasn't that much fun for Peter and I.
