Neverland's Lost (Not)Girl

Fitting

The way that lost boys make things is actually quite simple but had Rufio not been with me I would have undoubtedly screwed up, it is me we're talking about. We basically use rope and some huge leaves of one of the plants to make a base held together by some branches we stripped. Then as I stay here longer, hunt and fight I will collect skins and blankets.

Rufio is nice, he's not gentle or anything and doesn't slow his pace, or his talking for me just like he wouldn't for any other lost boy. He had me cut all the branches and get all the leaves and rope once he showed me where they are. He showed me how to tie everything together once then watched me do it myself. I am beginning to expect that this is my first little test, prove I am a boy inside and I will be treated as such, show that I am just a lying brat of a girl and I will be treated like that. No excuses.

No matter if I was being tested or not I did my best with the mat and carried as best of a conversation I could with Rufio, I am not very talkative to begin with much less after the way I used to be treated and spending so much time in the cage. Still I did well in my opinion.

"Done?" Rufio interrupted my thinking.
"Yeah, are we headed back to camp now?" I respond.
"Yeah and you can meet some of the others."
"Alright let's go!" I've noticed that we've within the limited time I have spent with the lost boys that they are always excited, yelling or just making some sort of noise and I have to admit even just acting a little like them in their careless ways is freeing and uplifting.
We walked through the forest talking and laughing as we went.

"So Tootles jumps out from behind like a bunch o' bushes and stuff screaming like crazy and leaped onto Jack and then Jack-"

" 'ey Rufio! Talking about me ta the newbie?!" A boy, I assume to be Jack yells.
"Only 'bout that time you almost pissed your pants! Ya'know the time Tootles jumped on you, wouldn't want you to get confused with the other times!" Rufio bit back playfully.
"Oh I have to hear about all these other times!" I exclaim joining into the banter easily.
" 've never pissed myself! Or even come close to!!" Jack who was only about an inch taller than me with a fairly slim frame argued
"LIAR!!!!" Rufio screamed drawing looks from a couple other boy who immediately went back to whatever the hell they were doing, I assume because this seems to be a frequent occurrence.

"NO"
"YES"
"oh shuddup Roof!!" Roof, how... creative
"Right back at you short ass!" Well Rufio's not wrong, Jack is one of the shortest lost boys.
Jack screams out a battle cry of sorts and jumps at Rufio beginning to wrestle the larger boy. The two quickly become a ever moving tangle of limbs with shouts and swears the only thing you can hear. Lost boys quickly crowd a circle around them cheering and yelling taunts at the pile on limbs on the middle.
"OOH! Rufio and... Jack?" Pan's voice appears behind me scaring the shit out if me.
"Yeah Rufio called Jack a short ass" I respond happily, I feel more comfortable then I have in years.
"Hahhahaa!! Short ass always works on him!" Pan laughed carelessly.
"I'll remember that for later but I can't really call anyone short ass!" Even though I'm hella insecure about my height (and overall body) I say it anyways because fuck it.
Pan now standing next to me looks Mr over
"Yeah can't really say shit now can you" he grins
"Shhh..." I grin back

" 'et the fuCK off you dick!" Jack yells, I turn my head to see Rufio has Jack pinned down.
"SHORT ASS SHORT ASS JACK'S A SHORT ASS" Rufio chants getting us all to join in, laughs and cheers ring out from the messy circle around them.

After what probably felt like years for Jack Rufio got off of him yelling that he is once again victorious.

"Bug off dumbass" Jack grumbled but clearly couldn't help the smile that made its way into his face.

The rest of us cleared off quickly after that and I once again stuck by Rufio's side.

"Okay, let's get you a place and then we'll see what else Pan wants ya to do." I nod showing that I agree to doing just that and walk along side him doing my fucking best to match his huge strides.

"Right two spots 'ere right by the fire or down by that tree there" I though it over for a second
"By the fire"
"Right in the middle of erry thing Nibs is there and No nap is there and I'm 'ere" He showed me where some of the other boys were set up near me.

"Follow me" a familiarly unique voice sounded from behind me and I nearly let out a help but held it in as I turned to Pan who magically (probably) appeared behind me.

I just nod while making my way after him. I swear his long confident strides are even faster than Rufio's which in my mind is no small feat.

"Lets get you out of that horrid dress and into some proper lost boys clothes."

"Thank fuck this dress is really annoying!" I exclaim thanking my lucky stars I won't need to wait to get out of the nightgown I was forced to wear back there.
