"- I dub thee a Lost Girl!" Peter says to while tapping my shoulders with a sword. I stand up and smile. The Lost Boys cheer.

"Thank you." I simply say. I hug Peter and he lifts me up and spins me around. I laugh.

Peter and I walk around on the beach. I walk on the sand and Peter walks on the shore where the water rushed up.

I get an idea and push Peter into the water. I laugh, but I don't notice him running after me. I begin to run away, but of course he is faster than me. I grabs me from behind and spins me around.

"Peter!" I say laughing. "Peter put me down." He finally puts me down.

I turn around and run towards the water. I jump in the water and get soaked.
"Come on Peter!" I yell.

My bangs cover my eyes. They are usually swept over to the side of my forehead. I swim out to sea with Peter behind me. I get far enough out that I can't touch the ground. I hold my breath. I dive under the water and open my eyes. It doesn't hurt my eyes. I see Peter come under the water too. His hat is still on his head. Peter swims next to me and we play around.
After about 20 seconds I swim to the surface and gulp down air. Right when I was about to go dive in something drags me under. I see Peter holding on to my legs. Then he lets go and holds on to my hands. He pulls me closer and sets his hands in my hips. I wrap my arms around his neck. Peter kisses my lips. I always wanted to kiss someone underwater.
We stay like this for about 10 seconds. When we part I smile at him. My hair floats everywhere. We swim to the surface. I gasp for air. My bangs cover my eyes again. I slide them back with the rest of my hair.

When we get back to the shore Peter and I just lay on the beach, our hands intertwined.
"Can you sing for me?" Peter breaks the silence. I sit up.
"If you have a guitar." I reply. I turn to him and sure enough he does. It is a beautiful black acoustic. He hands me the guitar and I hold it thinking of what song to play.
I start to finger pick and sing.
"Underneath the echoes, buried in the shadows there you were. Drawn into your mystery I was just beginning to see your ghost...."

When I finish the song I look at Peter and he just stares at me in awe.
