Now mermaids are not what they appear in stories. They are dark creatures in touch with anything mysterious. If Hook had captured Scraps then the mermaids would know. It was night and Peter and Annie were at the mermaids lagoon. Annie grew more and more nervous to where Scraps was,Peter played a tune on his pipes to summon the mermaids,they appear in the distance. "Aw how sweet"said Annie
Peter just stares at her "are mermaids not sweet"she asked "they'll sweetly drown you if you get too close "he warns while Peter is talking to some of the mermaids,one of them grabs hold of Annie's hand and slowly pulls her into the water,Peter notices in time and pushes Annie back and hisses at the mermaid and the others swim away. "Hook has your dog"he said taking her hand and they fly away "at Marooner's Rock"he explains
Hook and Sally along with Tiger Lily and Scraps in the boat are taken to an large empty rock with chains. "Like every plan they must be planned improperly "sneered Hook "put the princess and the dog on the rock"he instructs. Tiger Lily and Scraps were brought to the rock and Sally chains them both up. "Sorry about this princess" mocks Sally not sorry for what she's doing "any last words before you die?" But Tiger Lily was a brave warrior princess and she knew she would not die.
"I just have this to say"she announces "Peter Pan will come and rescue me " "that's what we're planning "said Sally and places a blindfold over the girl and Scraps begins growling and barking while Hook waits by the rock with his gun. "Come on and fly to the rescue "muttered Hook "and I'll shoot you right through your noble intentions " while they were flying to Marooner's Rock,Annie had lots of questions that annoyed Peter "I want to know what is Marooner's Rock and why is it called that?"she asks
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes "
"Why are you so annoying "he scoffs
"That's not a question "said Annie oblivious to his answer . Peter sighs in frustration and explains "Marooner's Rock is an evil place where pirate captains leave their sailors there to drown. They drown when the tide rises " "must be a scary place "said Annie
"Yes it is"said Peter and Annie was quiet when they got to Marooner's Rock.

Is this just pretend? All only pretend? True it's all just a game,make believe all the same,is it only pretend? Are these feelings I'm feeling my feelings alone? Do you have them too? I think that you do but you never say my friend. You silently fly your like no boy I know. What clue did I miss? Is a kiss like a kiss? What does it reveal? It may be just pretend and soon the dream will end but just for the moment let's pretend that it's real. What does it reveal? It may be just pretend and soon the dream will end but just for the moment let's pretend that it's real. Finally they made it to the rock and they both flew near the beach so the pirates wouldn't see them.
"I brought these can you use it?"asks Peter giving her a sword . They both practice sword fighting till they look into each other's eyes. "Promise me one thing: leave Hook to me"he said
"I promise "she whispers
"Come on Tink" as Tinker Bell flies away with him he calls "wait here for my signal "
"Wait here? Peter "she calls but Hook hears her and heads over to the beach. Annie hides behind a rock and looks at the sinister man.

Thus when Annie first laid her eyes on the dark figure that once haunted her great grandmother's stories, she saw the piercing eyes and was not afraid but entranced.

On the rock the tide was getting closer
Sally sat near the boat waiting for Hook to return
"Sally"called Peter using Hook's voice
"That you Captain?"asks Sally looking around for Hook. "Brimstone and Gall what do you think your doing?"calls the voice
"Chaining the princess and the dog to the rock Captain like you told us to"called Sally
"Set them free "said the voice
"Set them free ?" Asks Sally shocked "but what about your trap?"
"Set them free or I'll plunge my hook into you"shouts Peter in Hook's voice
Hook looked around the beach and seeing nothing left. "Why can't he make up his mind?"mutters Sally to herself "chain them up and set them free?" She goes over and unchains them from the rock. Tiger Lily takes her blindfold off and senses Hook coming,she signals to Scraps to dive underwater. "Sally"calls Hook
"Yes Captain"she said seeing Hook
"Any sign of him"
"No Captain"
Then Hook notices Tiger Lily and Scraps are missing from the rock. "Where's the princess and the dog?"he asks next. "That's alright Captain we let them go"explained Sally
"Let them go?"asks Hook anger swelled up inside him "like you told us to"said Sally confused.
Hook walks towards Sally and is about to strike when thunder crashes and they hear a voice
"Sally"calls Peter in Hook's voice
"Who are you stranger?"asks Hook looking around
"I am James Hook Captain of the Jolly Roger "shouts Peter
"If you are Hook the who am I?"questions Hook
"You are a codfish"says Peter
Sally looks at him confused but Hook sees Peter giggling and his hiding spot and decides to amuse him. "Tell me Hook"he said getting into the boat "have you another name?"
"Aye"
"Vegetable?"asks Hook
"No"
"Mineral?"
"No"
"Animal?"
"Yes"
"Man" was Hook's next question
"No"shouts Peter using his own voice
Hook sneaks up behind Peter's hiding spot
"Boy"he asks next
"Yes"
"Ordinary boy?"
"No"
"Wonderful boy?"
"Yes" shouts Peter emerging from his hiding place "do you give up?"
"Yes" shouts Sally
Annie climbs up the rocks and notices Hook about to shoot Peter.
"I am..."
"History "whispers Hook
"Peter look out"called Annie and Peter notices just in time before Hook shoots him.
Dark scary music starts playing "it is your requiem mass boy"sneered Hook
Peter flies over and starts to sword fight him
"Ready to lose the other one?"jokes Peter referring to Hook's other hand
"Not this time "shouts Hook pushing Peter
Sally sneaks up on Annie and almost strikes her,Annie blocks her attack with her sword
"Girlie"mocked Sally
Annoyed Annie stomps her foot
"Who are you to call me girlie?"shouts Annie as she sword fights her.
Two pirates surround Tiger Lily and Scraps and almost slice Scraps. "Don't touch my dog"shouts Annie flying towards Scraps . "Come back here and fight me"shouts Sally advancing towards her. Annie kicks the witch hard in the side but shows good sportsmanship and offers her hand to help her up. Sally then uses her sword and cuts Annie in the arm. "That's not fair"shouts Annie and pushes Sally into the water.
"If I were you I'd give up "shouts Hook as he continues to fight Peter
"If you were me,I'd be ugly "joked Peter
Hook battles hard and Peter finds himself outmatched and attempts to fly away but Hook grabs him and throws him in the air and a pirate blasts a cannon and fires a net and Peter falls into the water. "Annie get the boat"shouts Tiger Lily as she and Annie jump into the boat and push Sally back into the water. Peter reaches for his dagger and cuts himself free and swims up  to rest on the rock from almost drowning but Hook is on the rock as well. Peter tries to stab him with his dagger but Hook holds him back.
"Turn the boat around"shouts Annie seeing the scene before her "turn it around "
Hook pushes Peter down on the rock hard and tries to claw him with his hook. Peter tries to hold his hook back but it claws his chest open.
"And now Peter Pan you shall die "sneers Hook
"To die would be an awfully big adventure "said Peter with a smile on his face as Hook prepares to strike. Annie looks away and Scraps whimpers in fear then suddenly a ticking is heard. "Oh no"groans Hook. Peter smirks and Hook turns around to see the crocodile. "Shoot it"he screams and all the pirates jump in the water. Peter escapes before Hook notices he's gone, he sees Peter and his friends escape as he salutes to him. "You"growls Hook but then the crocodile chases him and he climbs up a cliff to escape. "Sally"he cries as the croc tries to eat him
"It's all a bit tragic really"sighs Sally
