All the magic (OUAT Peter Pan)

Chapter 82: Dare to Take A Shot

"Way to go, Captain!" A boy in the back yelled. Hope looked for who called her that, since none of the boys would have done that, and smiled. It was Toby, the drunk boy she met in Tortuga.

She walked over to him and saw he still wore his pirate garb with some Neverland mixed in. "Look at that, Toby boy sober and runnin' around Neverland. See you did as you should and called Shadow."

Peter nodded, "Showed up half drunk a while back, talking about this singing, dancing, swordfighting girl with a flair for drama and chaos. Sound familiar?" He asked, bumping her shoulder.

"Hey, if I was gonna get one day in the Enchanted Forest, I was going to see all the realms I wanted to and live a little. Sue me for having fun." Hope laughed back with him.

One of the lost boys called, "When are we getting breakfast, Pan? We're starving over here!"

"Oi! We are celebrating Hope coming back after thirty years. Breakfast can wait a bit." Peter called back to the boy. Hope flicked her wrist, and a breakfast buffet filled the camp, tables here and there filled with different food and treats to eat, as well as plates and cups. Everyone swarmed the table, and Jake walked over to her.

"Welcome home, Hope. Been a long time. I think it's safe to say we don't need to talk about what I did your last day here." he laughed slightly nervously. Hope thought for a moment, trying to remember what happened.

"He asked you out, which is pointless now that we are together." Peter said, putting an arm around her waist, proving his point more.

Hope rolled her eyes but couldn't stop the smile on her face. "Always gotta be a sass, don't you? No worries, Jake. Water under the bridge."

"S'what we doing to celebrate you doing back, mom?" Hunter asked with a mouth full of bacon.

"What do you think this big breakfast is for, stupid?" His best friend Hawk asked him as he whacked the back of his head.

Hope smiled at the chaos of all the boys talking over each other in groups as they ate.

Felix gave a rare smirk as he suggested, "How 'bout a same of Dare?" Everyone hollered, including her, raising a fist.

Henry blinked in confusion and asked, "Like truth or dare? No way, that's a game you have all the way out here."

She shook her head, "Close, but gosh no. Almost no one here would pick truth if their lives depended on it. We just dare each other to do fun kinda dumb stuff. Anything goes as long as no one gets actually hurt."

"Wanna show him how it's done?" Peter asked her, sitting on his stone platform with his leg dangling off the end and the other tucked up to his chest.

Everyone filled their plates and sat around the platform on benches, stools, and large rocks. Hope looked over at everyone in the group, some looking her in the eye, daring her to pick them, some looking down, not wanting to be the first ones called out. Shadow hovered in the air, as well, ready to play the amusing game. "Tom." Hope called at last, pointing to the teenager. "Dare you to show us the worst scar you got and how you got it."

He shrugged and lifted up his pant leg to show a scar that wrapped around his leg from his knee to his ankle. "Pirate battle, my first month here. Got strung up from the rigging at bait, and got a bit sliced up getting out of it." Tom looked around at the group before saying, "Joshie, dare you to scream so loud that scares the birds up in the trees."

"Cake." The ten-year-old said with a laugh. He cupped his hands around his mouth and screamed, "Aaaahhyayaya!" The birds in the trees flew away from the sudden ruckus, much louder than the normal sound around camp. Josh high-fived the boy next to him. "Carson, I dare you to fit a whole pancake in your mouth at once."
