On Annie's way back to camp, she took a few wrong turns and ended up getting lost. She couldn't hear Peter, or the Lost boys. The only thing around her was trees. So many trees.

Annie was growing hungry, and decided to look for something to eat. She saw some plants that she recognized, that she normally had every night at dinner. Annie found a rock that was suitable to sit on, and sat down to rest her feet. Annie sighed as she started eating the plant. They tasted alot better once they had been cooked by the camp fire, but Annie wasn't one to complain.

In the distance, Annie heard someone yelling. She stood up quickly, and looked around, trying to find who was making all the noise. She heard laughter and cheers, and watched as the Lost boys ran past her on the path. None of them had noticed her. Even Peter hadn't noticed her as he calmly walked behind the boys.

"Guess I found a good hiding spot!" Annie yelled. Peter stopped in his tracks, and turned to look at her.

"I knew you were there. Now come, we have a guest." He replied and kept on walking.

"A guest?" Annie said to herself. She jogged over to the path, and followed closely behind Peter. They all made it back to camp, where there was three young children standing. Annie had also noticed that a sixth tent had appeared.

"Welcome to Neverland!" Peter yelled, a wide grin set on his face. All three children took a step back, with terrified expressions on their faces. Annie recognized the girl from the story, who stood in front of the two young boys.

"H-hello. Please d-don't hurt us." The girl stuttered in response.

"Now, why would I harm you?" Peter asked.

"I don't kn-know." The girl said.

"Why don't you tell me your names?"

"I-I'm Wendy. These are my brothers, John and Michael."

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm Peter. Peter Pan." The boy introduced himself. Annie couldn't help feel bad for the newcomers, because she knew Peter wasn't always this nice. "Boys, come meet our guests!" Peter yelled at the Lost boys. They all lined up, just like they did when Annie first got here. Annie thought it'd be best if she joined them. They all introduced themselves, with smiles on their faces.

"Annie, show Wendy to her tent please. She'll be sharing with you." Peter asked, his voice stern with no room for any extra talk. Annie simply nodded, and waved Wendy over with her hand.

Wendy followed Annie over to her tent, and opened the flap of a doorway for her. Inside, another bed and dresser had appeared, with two nightstands in between the beds.

"I hope it's okay that I share your room with you." Wendy said. She looked less nervous that she was away from all the boys.

"It's no problem, I've been in need of someone to talk to." Annie smiled.

"What's it like here?" Wendy asked.

"Well, it's normally alot of fun. The Lost boys are cool to hang out, and so is Peter most of the time. But don't get on his bad side." Annie replied.

Wendy nodded. "I like you, Annie. I hope we can be friends."

"Thanks, me too."

It was silent in the tent as Wendy looked around. Annie just awkwardly stood in the entry way of the tent, watching her. Wendy was a very curious girl, and wanted to look at everything.

"Annie, Wendy, we're heading into the woods!" Annie heard one of the Lost boys yell.

Wendy spun around. "Who's that?" She asked.

"I think it's Grayson. Let's go, before they leave us behind." Annie replied.

"Oh, uh do you have any clothes I can borrow?" Wendy asked. She was only in a blue nightgown.

"Yeah, they're in the dressers. Shoes are in the bottom drawers. I'll wait outside for you."

"Thank you." Wendy smiled.

Annie left the tent, and waited for Wendy just like she promised.

"Is Wendy coming?" Grayson asked, walking over to Annie.

"Yes, she's getting changed." Annie replied.

"Okay, I'll wait for you two." Grayson said. Wendy came out of the tent, and smiled at Annie.

"Hey, Wendy?" Wendy looked over at him. "Pan's got rules, but I'm adding one." He said. Annie also looked over at him.

"What's your rule, Grayson?" Annie asked.

"Never be by yourself on this island."

"I guess it's good I have you two then." Wendy replied.

"Oh, trust me. It's really good." Grayson said.
