Annie runs deep into the woods, she hears footsteps and knows she has to run deeper so they wouldn't catch her, in fear that they would take her back to her father. She then gets her dressing gown stuck on a nearby branch that she tugs on her sleeve so hard that she leaves it behind not thinking if someone found it.
As she wanders deeper she realizes that she's finally free for the first time in years.
Annie:We're on an island overrun with savage men and flying Natives!
then thought it over
Annie:maybe we can make this work,this island is probably not on the map. It must be an uncharted island,there's no way anyone will try to find it. We can build a little hut and hunt for fish during the day and collect fruit as well.
Scraps wagged his tail in delight. Annie then saw a shadow up in the sky,she ran and came against a cliff.
Annie:Scraps Jump!
she picked her dog up and he jumps on the ledge. Annie tries to climb up the ledge but the branch she was holding on to breaks and she is left dangling from the cliff.
Annie:Scraps a little help here?
Scraps grabs her by her sleeve but it rips off.
Annie:This can't get any worse
She closed her eyes frustrated.when she opens her eyes she sees Peter  staring at her startling her.
Annie jumps from the wall and falls screaming and hitting her head before she blacks out.

When Annie comes to, she is face to face with Diana
Diana:Who are you anyway? How did you get here? Are you a spy? Are you working for the pirates?
Peter:Diana stop that your scaring her.She's probably confused
Annie then jumps up and grabs a stick nearby and points it at them.
Annie:Don't come near me or I will whack you with this stick!
Peter starts walking over to where Annie is
Annie:This is my first warning! Alright this is my second warning come near me and I'll...
Before she knows it she is pinned against the tree
Annie:Alright your crossing the line buddy!Don't touch me. Don't make me use this alright?

She swings the stick at him but he throws the stick out of hand. He looks into her eyes,he had never seen such a beautiful girl before.
Peter:I know your scared but no one will hurt you
Annie:Wait are you Peter Pan?
Peter:Yes
Annie:your real?
Peter:You thought I wasn't real?
Annie:I did when I was younger but when I got older I thought it was just a story my Mum told me. Your the boy that kept coming to my house since I was two.
Peter:I know who you are Annie
Annie:How do you know my name?
she  was surprised he knew her name
Peter:I sometimes hear your mother call you by your name.
Annie was confused and surprised that Peter Pan the boy she had believed in till she was ten was real.
Annie:This has to be a dream but it's not
Peter:Why were you on the Jolly Roger?
Annie:I was kidnapped
Peter:How did you get kidnapped?
Annie:I was on my roof
Peter:Why?
Annie:Running away
Peter:Why?
Annie:I don't want to talk about it
Peter:Why?
Annie was getting a little bit annoyed by his questions.
Annie:If you must know, I had a little argument with my parents
Peter:What was it about?
Annie sighed deeply
Annie:tonight was to be my last night at home.for tomorrow,they were making me go with my aunt to New York.
Peter:What is New York?
He had never heard of such a place.
Annie:A place that's far away
Peter:Farther than Neverland?
Annie:Yes they wanted me go to school there which means I would have to grow up
Peter:Grow up?
Annie had tears in her eyes

Annie:I know.that's why I left, to avoid school.Peter why do you keep coming to my nursery?
Peter:To listen to the stories.I sit outside and listen to them every night and tell them to the lost boys.
Annie:I thought the Lost Boys went back with Wendy when you returned her home!
Peter:Yes but eventually they decided to come back.

Annie:Peter why did you come to my house last night?
Peter:To hear the story about the prince that couldn't find the lady who wore glass slippers.
Annie:Peter that was Cinderella and her prince found her and they lived happily ever after.
Peter:I knew it
Diana:Thanks for telling us the ending so we should be going.
Peter:Diana we can't leave her here all alone.
Diana:she isn't alone she has that animal.
Diana pointing to Scraps
Scraps who stood nearby growled at Diana showing his sharp teeth.
Annie:Scraps calm down. this is my dog Scraps, he's very protective of me. He only bites when he's defending me. but where are you going?
Diana:To tell the Lost Boys the end of Cinderella
Annie:Peter I know lots of other stories,stories I could tell the boys
Peter:Come back with me and meet the Lost Boys and tell them stories
He offered his hand to her
Annie:I would love to but I can't fly
Peter:I'll teach you come on
and he grabbed her hand and took her to a clearing.
