As the Lost Boys run and play aimlessly, six people on the island are faced with much more serious thoughts.

Felix loves Amelia with all of his heart but knew he doesn't know how to love.

Amelia loves Felix with all of her being but misses being back home. She wonders what is going on with the beach house and how her new mom is doing. She just wants to go home.

Pan has to decide whether or not to leave Rose. She is making him lose his power.

Rose misses being home as well. She misses her family and her horses and school. She'd do anything to go back.

Captain Hook is faced with guilt for the first time in his life. After what he did to Amelia, something is off. He knows he couldn't control his feelings for Emma due to the power of the island but it hurt someone he cares about.

Emma knows Hook is no father figure for her son, Henry. She isn't sure if she wants to pursue anything with him. On top of that, she has a darkness boiling beneath the depths of her soul.

The so-called Savior of Storybrooke also has her suspicions about Hook' s loyalty to her. She often wonders if he still thinks about Amelia as he drifts off to sleep at night.

The day begins with Felix rushing into his tent to change out of his sweaty attire.

He'd been doing laps around the island to stay in shape for training the Lost Boys.

Amelia lies facing the wall of the tent, her back to the entrance where Felix comes in.

He assumes she is asleep, and she has no energy to act like she's awake.

Her heart feels heavy, stomach tightened.

"Felix," she whispers, depression prominent in her tone.

"Amelia, you're awake," he states as he sits beside her wearing new clothes.

"I have been for hours," she says, no emotion left in her tone.

She sounds drained and numb.

"Amelia, what is going on?"

"I want to go home," she admits plainly.

Felix feels his heart shatter into a million pieces,"I- I can't relate. I've never had a home."

"You must have come from somewhere," Amelia sits up and faces him.

"Yeah. But I've never had a home," he moves his curls from his face to reveal a scar on his face.

"Felix... I'm so sorry, "she frowns.

"Don't be. It's a past life, just like yours. We can't go back, Amelia. Not now, not ever. I'm sorry," he says with anger evident in his tone.

Amelia's bottom lip begins to quiver as she's evidently upset by his harsh answer.

"Amelia-"

"No. Forget it," Amelia grabs a bag from beside the bed and rushes out of the tent.

Felix follows suit, catching up to the girl he frightened.

"Amelia, talk to me," he commands, grabbing her arm tightly.

"I said forget it!" Amelia yells as she flicks her wrist, causing Felix to fly backwards.

He crawls backward, leaning up against a tree.

Amelia stares down at her palms in fear,"Did I just-"

"Amelia?" Felix asks, fear evident in his tone.

Hook sits on a rock near the ocean, allowing thoughts to race through his head.

"Need some company?" a female voice causes him to jump a bit.

"Ah, Rose. You startled me. Havea seat," he scoots over.

Rose nods and sits beside him.

"So what's going on? You seem stressed," she turns to face him.

"I have a lot on my mind at the moment, Rose."

"Well talk to me. Even though you're a jerk for cheating on my best friend, I understand that you couldn't help it because of the magic."

"Yeah, well that's what I'm upset about. I've never felt bad about hurting someone before but honestly this is killing me. I really liked her but I love Emma and I love Henry."

"So apoligize to Amelia and make sure Emma and Henry know you care about them. I would write a super duper long letter to each of them explaining your feelings and then they'll know you care."

Killian, or Hook, chuckles and wraps an arm around Rose, engulfing her in a hug.

"Thank you, Rose. I will do as you've suggested."

Peter Pan has always been very powerful.

When he gave up his son, now known as Mr. Gold, he became eternally youthful and developed magical powers.

Luckily, Mr. Gold forgot who his father was due to Peter's magic, which saved him years of heart ache.

Now Peter is faced with a choice.

Love or power.

"You wanted to see me?" Felix asks as he enters Pan's tent.

"Yes, have a seat," he says as he puts his potion bottles in a wooden drawer.

When Peter turns, he is faced with a battered Felix.

There is dried blood on his lip while small cuts adorn his face and hands.

"What the bloody hell happened to you?"

"Amelia.."

"My sister? She did that to you?"

"Her magic is growing stronger, Peter. With the flick of her wrist she sent me flying back."

"How? My magic is growing weaker."

"What do you mean?"

"Ever since I fell in love with Rose, my powers are becoming weak."

"Really? Well, what are you going to do?" Felix inquires.

Pan sighs while raising a shoulder,"What can I do?"

"Well you could either leave her and gain powers, or keep her and stay happy without the powers. I would reccomend the latter."

Peter simply nods,"So let's talk about Amelia. What's going on there?"

Felix chuckles and shrugs, "I wish I knew. After she accidentally attacked me with her powers, she ran off... I should've stopped stressing her out."

"What did you do?"

"She was depressed because she misses home and I snapped and kept insisting she would have to stay here," Felix rests his head in his hands.

Pan smirks knowingly, "Felix?"

"Yes?" he looks up at his leader.

"Go with her. Maybe we can all go and start lives on the mainland. I'll learn how to be mortal."

"You would give everything up just like that?" Felix questions.

"Yes. I am ashamed that I even considered leaving Amelia and Rose for power. I've made that mistake once and I will never do it again. If you love someone, you will do anything for them."

"Then maybe I don't love Amelia all that much..."

"So that's how you feel?" Amelia interjects from the doorway of the tent.

"Amelia-" Felix tries to explain himself.

"Save it. I came in here to apologize and I was gonna stay here with you if it meant you were happy... but not anymore. I'm out!"

Before Peter or Felix can interject, Amelia runs away..

and she keeps running...

until she meets him.
