Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust

"This is silly," David said, sitting down and pouting with his arms crossed. "I give up."

 

Rebecca laughed at Peter's words. "No David, don't give up! Now we know what it is, come on, Hook's a pirate, which means it's gold and probably in a chest. We can find it no problem." she shook on of his shoulders, trying to get her friend to play along.

 

"You'll have to think like a Lost Boy to find it," Peter smiled. "And have fun like a Lost Boy." They were the same words he'd spoken to Jane and she'd been the one to find the treasure that time. Maybe they were good luck words.

 

Rebecca bit the inside of her cheek in thought. "If i was you and you were me then i would hide it where you wouldn't think to look..." she thought aloud, almost in a sing song voice. "And if I was hiding it where you wouldn't look, I would put it..." she trailed off remember her first thoughts when Peter appeared in her room about it being inappropriate. But that wasn't her thinking like a Lost Boy, that was thinking like her father. "In my room!" she clapped her hands at this and ran off to Peter's room, ignoring any thought of private rooms.

 

Peter jumped out of his chair and followed Rebecca, still in the air, to his room. He pushed aside the bear-skin that was a makeshift door and grinned widely. There was the treasure, glowing dimly from the relfected light off the faces of the coins.
"You did it!" He congratualated her. He flew out of Hangman's Tree and high enough into the sky so that he could yell to all the Lost Boys. He crowed loud and clear and announced, "Lost Boys! Rebecca found the treasure! Back to the hideout!"

"Aw, they got to it first," Cubby frowned. He thought he and Slightly would win for sure.

"Oh well," Nibs sighed. He tried his best, but next time, he'd just have to try harder. He was excited to have another Lost Girl in the group though; he missed having fun with Jane.

"No way!" Harry and Terry exclaimed. They set off at a run for Hangman's Tree, wanted to see if Peter was telling the truth or just trying to mess up their searching.

"Let's go, Tootles," Curly picked up the littlest Lost Boy. "This means that Peter might make them Lost Boys now... or Lost Girl and Boy."

 

Slightly smiled at Cubby. "Don't worry about it, we'll win next time. And this means they can probably be Lost Boys and Girls." he clapped Cubby on the back and the two ran back to the Hide out.

Rebecca ran past Peter to drag David over to see it to. "We won, we won!" she said, grabbing his hands and jumping up and down. "Good thing you wanted to come back here!"

 

"Ha!" David exclaimed, triumphant. "We're fantastic!"

 

Nibs was the first back, closely followed by the rest of the Lost Boys. They all gathered around Rebecca and David, cheering.

Fawn and Tinker Bell were by Slightly and Cubby. Fawn was looking at every detail of the Home Under the Ground, zipping from one thing to the next.

Peter was glad to see Tinker Bell was back, and she'd brought a friend, but he wanted to focus everyone's attention on Rebecca and David at the moment.
"Lost Boys," Peter's commanding voice rang through Hangman's Tree. "fall in!" They all lined up and Peter continued, "The winners of this game of Treasure Hunt are Rebecca and David. As their prize..." he trailed off. He hadn't actually thought of a prize.

 

to many words!!!!!!!!!

 

Rebecca waited a second with baited breath but realized that Peter didnt' know what the prize was. She giggled and jabbed David in the ribs, thinking he would see that too.

Slightly stared at Peter, waiting, "Hey Peter, maybe their prize can be becoming Lost Boy and Lost Girl?" he suggested

 

Peter waved his hand. "Nah, this was too easy." He folded his arms in thought. Unconsciencly, he rose into the air and sat with his legs folded underneath him.

"How 'bout they get first prank on the pirates tomorrow?" Cubby suggested.

"Last to go to bed?" Nibs threw in.

"First to mess with the mermaids?" Harry and Terry added.

Tootles ran around in a circle and pointed to Tinker Bell and Fawn.

"That's it!" Peter snapped his fingers and smiled at Tootles. "He's got the right idea!"

Fawn looked to Tinker Bell, questioning what exactly it was that Tootles had suggested.

 

Rebecca looked from Tootles to Peter to the fairies. "What idea?" she asked, confused.

Slightly grinned, seeing the idea. "yeah! that's great Tootles!"

 

"Tink and her friend will give you flying lessons!" Peter answered, grinning. He thought it was a great idea.

Tinker Bell shook her head profusely. There was no chance that she'd give any kind of lesson to that girl.

Fawn punched the air excitedly. She gave flying lessons all the time! It would be fun to give a human lessons too.

 

Rebecca frowned slightly. She knew Peter thought it was a good idea but to be honest, she wasn't sure if she trusted Tink. The fairy tried to kill her after all. She noticed Fawn seemed excited though and this fairy seemed more friendly. So she walked up to Tink. "You could always teach David." she suggested; Tink obviously liked her friend. "And Fawn can teach me." she added, smiling at the second fairy.

 

"I can fly just fine," David insisted stubbornly, folding his arms over his chest. He cast a side glance at the fairies, however, and added, "but I guess there's always room for improvement."

 

Fawn zipped over to Peter and held out her hand to shake his. "Hey there, I'm Fawn."

Peter shook Fawn's hand with his index finger and thumb. He liked this little pixie -- she had spunk.

"I'll give them flying lessons," She began. "On one condition."

"What condition?" Peter asked. He was up for anything. The flying lessons were a prize so he would have to just go with what Fawn wanted.

"You and Tink spend that time together. Just you two. No Lost Boys or mermaids or Indians -- or pirates!" Fawn folded her arms and grinned. She had come up with the plan all by herself and was proud of it.

Tinker Bell's eyes widened a moment. She had no idea Fawn had been planning this.

"Well okay," Peter shrugged. What was the big deal about that? He and Tinker Bell were always together. Why should this be any different?

Fawn gave Tinker Bell a thumbs up and then flitted over to David and Rebecca. "I hope you two are better than the geese I have to teach!"

 

Despite her tendicy to think like a boy, Rebecca had enough girlish nature in her to see what Fawn was up to. And she thought it was perfectly sweet of Fawn. A impish smile lit her face as Fawn greeted her, this would be fun; the fairly seemed very much like herself. "I promise we are. Well David is anyways." she teased David with a wink. "i am a total klutz." of course this wasn't really true at all, but she liked messing with David and he was sure to protest.

 

"Don't worry, I'll get you flying like pros in no time!" Fawn said with confidence. "Let's get going!"


"We wanna watch!" the twins chimed up. They had enjoyed watching Jane attempt to fly and were thinking that this would be just as much fun. The other Lost Boys excitedly shouted their agreement.

Fawn giggled. "Alrighty then! Everybody can come watch these two get master lessons."

 

"Where will we practice?" David asked, a little wary of everyone deciding to watch in case he embarrassed himself.

 

"We'll find a place," Fawn replied, not too worried about it.

"We know a place!" Nibs quipped. He was thinking of the sheer hill that Peter had used to try to get Jane to fly. It was a good size and a fall from there couldn't hurt too bad.
