Recap:
Pan POV
"How did you survive the storm?" I said playing around with her story, "I mean, you are a girl, after all."

"Excuse me?" She said with an annoyed expression. Then glancing at my sword, "I bet I could easily defeat you in a sword fight."

"Yeah, right," I scoff, "Peter Pan never fails."

"Try me."
**********************************************************************************

Lilac POV:
Pan snapped the fingers on his right hand, and a sword appeared a few inches away from me on the ground -I would have made it appear myself, but I wasn't sure if I should reveal my powers to him, yet - He gestured me to pick it up with a mischievous look in his eyes. I mockingly smiled innocently at him and picked it up, getting ready in position.
We started.
It was a really long fight because the players (especially me, shall I add) were skilled and nobody was going to surrender easily. I swung my sword at Pan but he ducked just in time, escaping with nothing but a cut on his left cheek.
"Beginner's luck," I said, to which Pan just rolled his eyes and smirked.
We kept going, our swords clinging and clanging every minute. Then to my dismay, I was cornered. Only a tree behind me, and in front...Pan.
I could feel his minty breath on my face when he teased, "Scared, little girl?" he said in a baby voice that I instantly hated.
"Never," I said slightly raising my eyebrows.
"You have fire. I like fi-"
I didn't let him finish his sentence. There was no way I was going to let him win.
I soon surprised him with one of my best moves.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pan POV:
I had Lilac cornered. She was sandwiched between me and the tree behind her.
"You have fire. I like fi-" I would have finished my words if I wasn't so startled when I realized my hand (that was originally wrapped around my sword's handle) was now just wrapped around....thin air? What? I heard a clinking noise and jerked my head in that direction. I saw my sword just about 15 feet away. 'It had appeared out of nowhere... Maybe from magic..? But I hadn't done transported it.' I gasped softly. 'Did this girl have magic...?'

Shoot. I shouldn't have glanced away. I had completely forgotten Lilac was still in front of me.Out of nowhere, and to my surprise, she tackled me. I was now pinned on the ground. I would have used my magic and done something about it if, I could concentrate.
But I couldn't because she was tickling me.
Yes, tickling.
I couldn't stop laughing.
'Only one person I knew had used these "tactics" on me before', and then I remembered...

**FLASHBACK** *When Pan was about 9*
I and Li were taking a walk around our village. We couldn't stop talking about how cool knights were, and how much we both wanted to be one.
I enjoyed her company a lot; She wasn't like other girls. We could keep talking and playing for hours and neither of us would be bored.
Li spotted two sticks near a banyan tree and naughtily smirked at me.
I understood.
We both picked one stick up and kept them on our sides, like how we had seen real knights do.
"One, two, three...!" She said and we began.
I had almost (pretend) chopped off her head but she cheated. I accidentally fell and she took this chance to tickle my stomach, resulting me to burst out laughing. I hated the fact that she knew I was ticklish.
"Cheater!" I managed to say between laughs.
"All is fair in love and war," came the reply with a playful chuckle.
**End of flashback **

"St-stop it...!"
"Say, 'Lilac is and will always be better than me' or else I won't leave you alone"
I mentally rolled my eyes at her childishness but finally gave in. She stopped tickling me and after gasping for air, I said, "Thanks for stopping."
And then in a blink of an eye, I transported myself to a good length away from Lilac, with my hands folded and a smirk on my face.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lilac POV:
No way. How did I forget he had magic?
I hastily got up and brushed sand from my shorts and folded my hands too. I stared at him with narrowed eyes and immaturely said, "Cheater, you aren't allowed to use magic." I know I was acting childish but still, he had cheated.
"I should say that to you," Pan said, his lips curled into a smile, "Hey, and don't you know? All is fair in love and war, ...Lousy Li."
I tilted my head trying to calculate what he said.  I feel like I might have said that before, sometime. But the thing that confused me more was, only one person called me 'Lousy Li'. My eyes widened and I gasped loudly.
"Is that really you?" I said brushing a strand of hair behind my ear that had fallen on my face.
"Petty Pete?!" I called out with pleasant surprise.
He had folded his hands and was leaning on a nearby tree.
He rolled his eyes but smiled, anyway.

So.... did you guys like this chapter? I felt like the story needed some action and drama soon. What do you think? Were you surprised? Please comment and tell me what you think. And follow so you can know when the next chapter is added. Speaking of the next chapter, everything is going to be more clear in it and you will understand better. It's going to be a filler about their past.
Keep smiling!
Ps. If you can't see the pic. Here it is again. It's supposed to be Pan when he is little (It is actually Robbie Kay when he is little if you wanna know):
