"Over here, Felix!!" Little Anne Beastly was running, her heart swelling with much joy. She ran a curvy trail and it was hard for little Felix Beastly to catch up but he managed, for his own heart was swelling. 

Clutching the wrinkled map tight, Anne then shot around one last curve and halted, her blonde hair shooting over her shoulders from her stop. The wind blown messy locks reached halfway down her back by this point and she was only seven. 

Felix caught up with her now. He was disappointed to find only an oversized rock. Anne stared at it like it was the world, her eyes wide and glistening with absolute success. "Skull rock!" She piped and ran over. Annoyance grew on Felix. He walked over with his knife of carved stone. 

        "This isn't it!" Felix protested. Anne looked to the side her brother was just starting to meet.

        "Yes it is!" Anne denied when really she was just putting off a hair cut.

        "No," Felix dragged and took the Neverland map from his sister. "Skull rock is alot bigger, Anna! You have to cross part of an ocean first to get to it...and plus where would these other places be?" Felix pointed to other destinations on the map.

Sitting on her rock she had found, Anne snatched the map back. "Give me it," she said, annoyed. "I'll find them all..." she spoke, confident.

        "Really? And after how many haircuts I try to give you?" Felix questioned, lifting a brow.

        "I don't want one!" Anne protested.

        "You have to, you are using up all our soap too quickly," Felix pointed out.

        "Then I just won't wash my hair then," Anne replied, lifting her chin. Stubborn.

        "You'll get bugs!" Felix shouted, aggravated. 

        "Bugs are my friends!" Anne spoke.

        "Until they start nesting eggs on your scalp and feeding off your flesh!" Felix cried helplessly. The little Beastly sister gasped.

        "They wouldn't," she snapped, hopeful.

        "They would..." Felix confirmed. Anne was resistant but then finally...

        "Fine, but don't cut me!" Felix smiled with relief.

Anne then propped herself up on the rock once more, her back turned toward her brother. Gently he lifted her hair, put his stony blade beneath the locks and slit. Anne let out an ear bleeding scream.

Felix shot awake just then, his back resting against a tree. Benjamin then sat up from the ground and looked over at the troubled lost boy. "Are you alright?" He asked Felix rubbing his head, annoyed. Felix moved his neck some as he got off the forest floor. Benjamin got up after. 

        "What happened?" Felix asked, discomfort all over his face. He rubbed his neck.

        "Damn Pan and that dagger of his," Benjamin replied then walked over facing Felix. Felix then spotted some crimson poking out from under Benjamin's brown messy hair.
