Jane and Felicity kept walking down the hall. Jane looked back to make sure Felicity was following, but looked up with a gasp to see fish were in the windows. Felicity walked to them with a smile, but Jane grabbed wrist and dragged her to follow.

"We've got to get out of here." Jane told her cousin.

"But how?" Felicity asked.

Jane kept walking and dragging, then stopped. "I have an idea!" 

"Oh, brother..."

Later on, Jane was by the ocean while Felicity sat on her knees, waiting to see what was happening. Peter and Tinker Belle came over to see what was going on without them.

"What is she doing?" Peter asked.

Tinker Belle shrugged.

"She's trying to leave," Felicity turned with a reply. "I'd love to stay, but I think Jeanne's right..." Felicity turned back to the red headed girl. "We're probably better off back home."

"Let's see," Jane made a check list. "Half dozen bananas, check. Ten coconuts, check-"

"Jane, are you sure we should leave so soon?" Felicity walked and asked.

"We have to, Felicity." Jane replied. 

"Why do you wanna go home so bad?" Peter asked her, surprising her.

"We have to get back to our family." Jane told him.

"Why?" 

"Well, umm... I don't wanna talk about it..." Jane ignored the subject, but only sounded even more snarky than usual.

"Why not?" 

"She had a fight." Felicity answered for her.

"Felicity!" Jane snapped at her.

"He only asked!" Felicity shrugged. 

"Why?" Peter asked, sounding shocked. 

"I told my little brother you weren't real." Jane replied. 

"What?" Peter's eyes widened. "Why!?"

"Oh, I don't know..." Jane groaned. "But we have to get back and set things right."

"Why?" Peter asked.

"Because!" Jane growled. "That's why!"

"You know, you can't get home this way." Peter pointed to the homemade boat Jane made with some of Felicity's help.

"I've got to try," Jane went to the boat to push it to the water. "Come on, Felicity."

Felicity stood there, froze and looked around, unsure what to do.

"FELICITY!" Jane snapped.

"Well... Au revior, Peter Panoramique..." Felicity sighed and followed Jane to the homemade boat.

"Au revior?" Peter wondered. "I don't remember Cherry being French."

"Maman isn't French," Felicity turned to him. "My papa is... He taught her some French, and she taught him some English. I'm bilingual though!"

"Enough, Felicity, just say goodbye and end it," Jane scolded Felicity. "We'll never see him again, well, it was nice meeting you, Peter Pan. Duty calls."

Jane pushed the boat more to the water, pulled Felicity next to her and the boat was sailing slightly. There was then a leak in the boat suddenly and the boat was starting to sink! The girls cried and Jane climbed the flag pole and Felicity fell right in the water, head first and Jane was sunk in. They both then got to shore and took a deep breath of air as they failed to get home using the boat.
