Peter Pan 3:the lost girl

Chapter 16
(Kat's POV)
        I woke early morning in the hide out. My head was foggy and I was a little dazed. 'How on earth did I get here?' I thought. Looking over to Peter's room, I suddenly remember, and promptly turned beat red. "You feel nice". Oh my gosh… oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! Had I seriously said that!? Then I remembered something else. "So do you, Kat". Oh. My. GOSH! I couldn't believe it. There was no way in heaven or hell he had said that. I had to have been dreaming. I come on! He was freaking Peter Pan! The Boy who never grows up! And when you don't grow up, you don't fall in love! Right? Oh man… I'm friggin losing it.
        I walked out of the hide out and shot into the air. It felt really refreshing, cool and clean against my skin. It was already working wonders on my frazzled mind. I flew to the top of the volcano in the center of the island and began to walk around the lip of the top. Remembering I had left my iPod in the jeans I was wearing, I pulled it out and hit shuffle. I resumed my walk and tried to sort out all that happened. I had come to London because my Great Grandmother was dying, and we all knew it. I had a fight with my mother and was kidnapped by a crazed mad man and a ship full of dirty pirates. I'd been taken to Neverland and then had to jump ship once I got here. Was saved by Peter Pan and was taken to the Indian encampment and was made a princess in such a short amount of time, I'm still having trouble figuring out just how he'd done it. I'd gone to mermaid lagoon and had a lovely chat with some girls who didn't have legs but tails. Then I was supposed to be taught how to fly, and I was, but I grew wings! And now I was having troubles with feeling about home and here and Tink and the boys and Peter… especially Peter.
        It was crazy really. I mean, he was the boy who never grew up. He was certainly a charmer, at least that's what Wendy and Jane had said. But the feelings between them never seemed to stick. I mean, they came back, didn't they? So he obviously didn't love them enough to try to make them stay… and why should I be any different? I sighed. I couldn't believe I was being like this, so mopey and depressed and crap. I was in Neverland for God's sake! I'd always wanted to be here, and here I was! So why was I being such a-a teenager!? Growling to myself I shot into the air again. I had no idea where I was going. I was just going to fly, fly and forget about everything! At least, that's what I had planned to do…
(Peter's POV)
         I sighed happily. Kat had looked so pretty this morning. She had been so pretty last night too. I smiled as I flew over mermaid lagoon.  Everything about her was pretty, her voice, her hair, her eyes… she's amazi- wait… no. I had to stop thinking like that. I HAD to. I was a boy, boys didn't fall in love. True boys never went near girls because they were gross and different… so why did I think of Kat like that? Why was it every time she smiled at me, I stomach knotted up and my heart fluttered like mad? Why was it, whenever she sang I could sit there and listen for eternity? What was it that was different about her?
         I was so lost in thought; I almost crashed right into a light blue blur headed straight for me.
         "WOAH!" I cried as the blur gave a sharp squeak. I shot up to avoid it and it was only after I was a few feet above the figure and the figure itself has slowed that I realized it was Kat. I cried her name and she turned, clearly shocked.
         "P-Peter!? What are you doing here?? I didn't- I thought…" she stuttered. I flew down to her, discreetly admiring the timid glow of her wings.
         "I was just heading back to the hide out… I was checkin on the boys and talking with the Indians.. what about you?" I asked... eager to see her smile again. She not only smiled, but I saw her blush a bit too. Dear lord, I was going to faint right out of the sky!
         "Oh nothing... just thinking, takin a fly around Neverland." We were silent for a moment when I great idea struck me.
         "Hey Kat, you want to go hang out on the beach, just you and me? At least until the boys find us…" I said, nervously chuckling. She narrowed her eyes a bit and smirked...
