"So where are we going?" Alistair asked Piper as they walked down the Neverland forest.

"You'll see" Piper smirked.

As they continued walking, they walked pass a lagoon that had flamingos in it.

"Oo" Lizzie said amused "I didn't know there were flamingos here, they make great croquet mallets".

"How odd" Slightly said.

Pretty soon they could hear the sound of a waterfall. And they then came upon a beautiful lagoon with a high waterfall.

"Oh wait isn't this-" Lizzie said.

"Mermaid Lagoon" Piper finished "Yep".

"Well where are the mermaids?" Kitty asked.

"I'll call them" he said as he knelled near the water and brushed his hands in it.

From underneath the water, the mermaids could feel Piper near, so they swam up to the surface and poked their heads out from the water.

"Wow" the Wonderlandians gasped.

"They can be nice, but I must warn you guys" Piper said "I wouldn't get too close, these mermaids can be mischievous and dangerous, and if I were you, don't get them mad".

The mermaids saw everyone on shore as they swam towards shore and stared at them with their beautiful faces covered in fish scale and their long wet hair flowed behind them.

"Lizzie?" one of the mermaids said. She looked a bit younger than the other mermaids.

"Shellby?" Lizzie said.

"Oh my gosh you're back" Shellby smiled "All of you Wonderlanders are back".

"You know her?" Piper asked Lizzie.

"Yeah I met her and the other mermaids here when Jane and I got lost in the Neverland forest".

"It's great to finally meet you all" Shellby said "But, why are you guys back?"

Piper told them about Blackbeard being back and about Peter and the Neverland Orb.

"Oh dear" another mermaid said with a scared look.

"But we're gonna find him and prevent Blackbeard from finding the orb" Piper added "Hopefully, but in the meantime, I'm showing them the rest of Neverland".

"Well I hope you all find him" Shellby said "But right now, I wanna know more about the Wonderlandians".

"Well um" Alistair said "What would you like to know?"

"You're Alice's son right?"

"Yeah".

"Oh I remember Alice, she was one of Peter's best friends when they were young".

"Didn't you guys try to drown her multiple times?" Piper asked.

"What?" Alistair said surprised.

"We didn't try to drown her" a mermaid said "We just wanted her to swim with us".

"By dragging her down the water for a long time?"

"Like I said, we wanted her to swim with us" the mermaid said with a guilty look.

"See?" Piper said to the Wonderlandians "This is why you can't always trust mermaids".

"Hey" Shellby said "We don't do that anymore, we're happy with Peter and Wendy, and besides, if he hadn't of met her, they wouldn't of made you. And we're glad they did, cause you're really awesome".

"Well, thanks" Piper smiled.

"But if anyone tried to hurt you, we will drown them" she added with a smile.

"We'll see about that" he said with a smirk as the mermaids gave a small giggle.


"Hey there one thing I wanna know" Alistair said "Is it true that a mermaid's kiss can save a sailor from drowning?"

"It is true" Shellby said "We do save lives"

"Not all the times" Piper whispered to everyone.

"Piper!" Shellby said disappointment "We're not sirens".

"I know" he smirked "I was messing with you".

The mermaids gave a sigh "You're just like Peter".

Back at Blackbeard's ship, down inside the ship were 2 cells, and inside those cells were Peter and Hook.

"Well this is great" Peter said sarcastically "If I don't get out of here who knows what Blackbeard would do".

"If I just had my hook with me" Hook said as he looked at his served right hand that doesn't have the hook on it "I would of picked the lock and get out, leaving you here".

Peter gave him a frown.

"If I don't get out of here soon I'm gonna miss my anniversary with Wendy".

"Your anniversary is coming up?"

"Yeah, but if I don't get out of here I'm gonna miss it, and that's mean she's gonna celebrate it alone".

"I'm pretty sure she's not gonna celebrate it alone, I mean who celebrates their anniversary alone?"

"You got a point".

Just then they heard the door open and someone walking down the stairs. They watched as Blackbeard entered and looked at them with a nasty smile.

"Well" he said with his smile "I had a pretty interesting day today, it appears I ran into your kids".

"What?" Peter and Hook said surprised.

"Yeah, and they were with the Wonderlandians, I gotta say, Mr Alistair looks a lot like his mother Alice, and Piper looks like you Pan".

"Where are they?" Peter asked.

"Somewhere in Neverland" he said with a frown "And since your kid took my map of Neverland, it's gonna be hard to find them".

"You stay away from them" Peter said with a stern look.

"Nah, no matter how hard it'll be, I will find them, mostly your boy so he can show me where the Neverland Orb is".

"He's not gonna help you".

"Oh he will" Blackbeard said with a secret smile "If he wants you and Neverland to live".

He then went to a large chest and opened it and tossed some random things over his shoulders. He then pulled out a large hour glass, but this hour glass was about haft his size! And he was strong enough to lift it and carry it in front on their cells.

"You see this?" he asked Peter "This time glass takes approximately 2 days for the sand to fall to the bottom, but this isn't like any other hour glass, this shows how long a certain person will live".

He then turned the glass upside down and placed it on a table.

"You see this Pan?" he asked "This is gonna be how long you'll live".

Peter's eyes widen.

"So by the time all the sand reaches the bottom in 2 days, you'll be dead, unless your boy shows me where the Neverland Orb is. But even if he doesn't help me, at least I'll get my revenge on you, but if only I knew where Ms Alice is so I can get her too, oh well. Enjoy your possible last 2 days Pan".

After he left, Peter looked at the glass and watched with shock as the sand dropped to the bottom, he had approximately 2 days to live!

"Why didn't I use that on you?" Hook asked himself.
