•Chapter 74•

Pan and Killian stayed behind on the ship as the Lost Boys rushed after the Lost Girl. "You're going to let them capture her?" Killian questioned. Pan chuckled. "It's a game. She loves it." He assures the pirate, "Plus, the running keeps her in great shape." He said quietly. Killian glared at the Lost Boy. He cleared his throat, shrugging his comment away, and rubbed his nose. "Remember, no funny business," Killian said sternly. A mischievous smile was planted on Pan's lips. The first Lost Boy glanced over his shoulder. "I promise you, Captain. No funny business." He promised. The pirate gave him a slight nod. Pan slowly started to make his way off the ship. "Take care of my daughter." He called after him. "I can assure you, Captain, she's never been safer." The demon replied, "No one will touch her ever again." He added. And with that, the leader of the Lost Boys, the king of Neverland, disappeared into the jungle.

The camp was a mess. An absolute mess. Y/n stood in front of the group of Lost Boys. Her eyes scanned the chaos. "I don't remember leaving it like this." She said. "To be fair, you were kind of focussing on something else. Pan was, you know... kind of dead." Devin spoke up. The Lost Boys, and Y/n, turned their heads to look at him. The brunette shrugged. "What? He was." He said. Felix's grip around his weapon tightened. "Can I hit him?" He asked as he continued to glare at the Lost Boy. Y/n folded her arms over each other as she, too, glared at him. "Not yet." She said. Devin swallowed hard. "Get to work," Y/n said. Everyone stopped looking at Devin and got to cleaning the camp. Y/n stayed behind to make sure everyone was occupied before she got to work herself. "So, what now?" Felix asked. Y/n turned to her best friend. "You can help clean this mess." She answered. Felix rolled his eyes. "What now? Scared to break a nail or something?" Y/n questioned. "We never cleaned the camp before," Felix replied. "Then what do you want to do, my little princess? Take a bath? Have a nice drink at the beach?" Y/n questioned, "Get to work, Felix." Y/n added. She had a stern tone in her voice. Felix chuckled, "Bossing me around huh?" He replied. Y/n glared at him. "I can remember a time, not too long ago, when I commanded you," Felix added. "Really? Because if I remember correctly, I had you pleading and whining for hours, pretty boy." Y/n replied, "So I suggest you get to work now." She continued sternly. "Oh, is that so?" He questioned, "And what are you going to do then, princess? Sit in a chair and boss us around? Watch as we work hard before our leader comes back?" He added. He had a smirk planted on his face. A mischievous smirk. Y/n narrowed her eyes at him playfully. "Come on, Felix." She said. Felix followed her with a smirk. Y/n couldn't help but shake this feeling that Felix was up to something. 

It didn't take long for Pan to return to the camp. All of the Lost Boys, and Girl, were working together to fix what was left of the camp. Pan's green eyes scanned his surroundings. He spotted Y/n helping two younger Lost Boys set up a tent. "She's mean, you know," Felix spoke up. Pan turned his head to see his second in command making his way toward him. "Because she ordered you to work?" Pan questioned. Felix shrugged. "It's the way she said it." He replied. Pan chuckled as he looked at his girlfriend. "Could you do me a favor?" Pan asked his friend. Felix stayed silent, but looked at Pan with big eyes, waiting patiently. "I'm sending you two away. I want you to keep a close eye on her." Pan said. He looked at the tall, blonde Lost Boy. "Can you do that for me?" He questioned. Felix gave a nod. "Yes, of course," Felix promised. "Good," Pan replied. He turned back to look at her. "Very good." He added. "Where are we going, exactly?" Felix asked him. Pan patted Felix's shoulder gently. "You'll know when you get there." He said. The blonde boy wanted to ask more questions. But Pan, of course, read his mind. He gave Felix a smirk. "Trust me. You'll know." He assured him. The demon handed his second in command a piece of parchment. Both of your instructions are right here. Read them carefully." He ordered. Felix nodded. "What will you be doing while we're gone?" Felix asked him. Pan shrugged. "I'll be here. Waiting for the two of you to return." He answered. The two boys watched the others for a couple of seconds. Focussing on one person in particular. Felix suddenly cleared his throat and scratched his nose. "Sorry, I need to ask, why are you sending me? Why don't you go with her?" He asked. Pan chuckled and smirked at his friend. "Oh, I can't. I promised the captain no funny business." Pan smirked. Felix returned the evil smirk. Y/n approached the two boys standing a few feet away from the others. "What are you two smirking about?" She asked them. Pan rested his hands on her waist. "Just a game we're playing, love." Pan answered, "Oh, now that you're here, I need you to do something for me, Darling." He added.

"Papa? Where are you?" A sweet little voice called out. The Mad Hatter remained hidden behind a large tree. "Papa?" The sweet girl repeated. When the adult man took a little peek, his daughter popped up. "Found you!" She exclaimed happily. Jefferson smiled and picked up his daughter. He spun them around. "Indeed you did, my dear Grace." He said. Grace giggled as Jefferson placed a kiss on her cheek. He set her down and grabbed her hand. Grace glanced up at her father and smiled as they walked back to their cabin. Everything was back to normal. Jefferson and Grace lived happily in their little cabin in the Enchanted Forest. Pan and Y/n had kept their promise. Their grounds had been restored. And hundreds of magic beans had grown in the past weeks. Jefferson wondered if or when he would see Y/n and the Lost Boys again. Grace pulled on her father's sleeve gently. "Papa, can I pick some flowers before dinner?" She questioned. The Mad Hatter thought about it for a second. "I won't go too far." She promised. Jefferson smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Alright, sweetie." He said. Grace cheered and rushed off towards the flower fields that weren't too far away from their cabin. Jefferson smiled and stepped inside. "Evening, pretty boy," Y/n spoke up.  The handsome man jumped at the sound of her voice. "Y/n. You scared me." He tells her. A playful smirk appeared on her lips. She stood against the small countertop of the little kitchen. "How are you?" Y/n asked him politely. "Very well, actually. I have my Grace." Jefferson answered, "What about you?" He questioned. Y/n shrugged. "We're back on the island. There were a few complications but we've taken care of it." Y/n replied. Jefferson smiled at her. "You're here for the beans, right?" He asked her. Y/n stepped towards him. "Yes," She answered. "I'm not quite sure if they're ready to be harvested yet." He added. He swallowed hard when the Lost Girl stood right in front of him. "I'm not just here for the beans." She whispered to him. "Y-you're not?" Jefferson stuttered. Another gulp sounded as Y/n placed her hands on his chest. She nodded innocently as her fingers trailed over the coat fabric covering his chest.
