Amaya watched carefully as Arin neared the ledge. The look he had given her told her just how uncertain he was about all of this. No doubt, his gaze was begging her to be prepared for when he'd jump off the ledge. She was prepared to dive after him but she wasn't as prepared as she had thought. Once at the very edge of that ledge, Arin had leaned forward and permitted himself to fall forward. The plummet that he had taken had been much faster than Amaya had anticipated.
There was no denying what Amaya said as she dived after the falling Arin who was speeding down toward the ground at a rapid rate. If she didn't move it, he would end up a pancake on the ground. Peter Pan looked down with surprise, not even registering what curse word Amaya had uttered before she dived after Arin. Right now, Peter was thinking that Arin would fly. He had confidence where Amaya and Arin did not.
Then, something happened. Right when Amaya thought that she was going to lose Arin despite her best efforts, he had slowed to a stop quite suddenly. Righting himself up, he then shot upward with a huge grin on his face. At the velocity that Amaya was going, there was no way for her to stop her momentum in time. Try as she might, Amaya ended up passing him in the air as Arin shot upward while she shot downward.
Manaign to slow herself down after a moment more, Amaya paused and looked upward before darting up after him in the air. "Hey! Don't scare me like that!" she called after him. Peter Pan was holding his sides, laughing at them before they reached where he was.
"See? Told you that you could do it. Now follow me!" Peter gestured for them to follow and flew skyward into the puffy white clouds.

Arin laughed and slowed down to let Amaya catch up, looking her in the eyes as they followed after Peter "Sorry about that, it took me a while to find any light in my sea of dark memories." He smiled and winked at Amaya as he gave her a quick hug "Thanks for the happy thoughts, Maya~"
Pushing away from Amaya, he started speeding up, following Peter Pan and Tink as the pair led Arin and Amaya into the clouds, looking down at the armor-clad girl with a grin "Race ya!"

Amaya heard Arin laugh as he paused to let her catch up to him. Once she reached where he was and they started to follow Peter, Arin had apologized. It had taken him a while to find light out of the many dark memories he had. Then, he smiled and winked at her, hugging her before thanking her for the happy memories. It had taken her off guard and Amaya felt her face redden.
"Y-You're welcome."
Then, Arin had let go of her and sped off after Tinkerbell and Peter Pan. Amaya had to speed up to catch up to the other three. When she did, they had already made it high up into the clouds. Amaya felt like she was being watched. Looking toward where she got the feeling, she found Arin looking down at her. As her eyes met his, she heard him challenge her to a race. Amaya rose a brow. Arin was certainly happy today...er tonight. Only just now it occurred to her that it was night time here.
"You want a race? Fine, I'll give you a race!" Smiling, Amaya darted forward as she gave her armored wings a powerful flap that propelled her forward at a rapid rate. She kept rapidly beating her wings to get her going.

Arin grinned and focused on following Peter, flapping once and pissing his arms to his side to make his body more aerodynamic. He only ever really brought his arms out to steer when Peter did. He was looking over at Amaya, grinning as he focused on those happy memories, propelling forward.
It wasn't until a little ways out did he notice Peter was making a hard left. Seeing that Amaya was on his left, and knowing how close they were, he decided to play a little friendly prank on her. He slowed his speed down, letting Amaya think that she was taking the lead, but secretly, Arin was slowly inching his body beneath hers without her noticing. When he was at the point where he was about eye level to her if she looked down, he caught her attention.
"Psst!~"
The minute she looked down, Arin placed his hand on Amaya's cheeks, leaned his head up and planted a deep kiss smack dab on her lips. The kiss lasted for a good 5 seconds, before Arin pulled away, and took the chance to gain the lead "Don't fall behind now, Maya!~" Laughing cheerfully, he shot forward like a missile after Peter, the cheerful nature was certainly a side of Arin that Amaya had not seen before, perhaps it was a remnant of his time before everything he knew was lost to darkness.

Amaya flew as fast as she could, also pinning her arms to her sides to make herself go faster. She was neck and neck practically with Arin at the speed he was going. Then, Peter ahead of them started to take a hard left. In order to move in the direction Peter was going, it brought Amaya and Arin more to a tie. It even looked for a short moment that she was starting to gain the lead.
Of course, she had no idea what Arin had in store for her. Amaya didn't notice that Arin was inching toward her from below. It wasn't until she heard the sound of his voice that she peered down toward the source. There was Arin, right below her. Without warning, he grabbed hold of her face and kissed her deeply. Amaya's eyes widened in surprise as her face turned scarlet. Then, Arin had let her go after five seconds. She was so caught off guard that Amaya had slowed, her face beat red.
Then, Arin gained the lead and told her not to fall too far behind. Only then did it register what he had just done to her. He had kissed her on purpose to gain the lead! "Y-YOU CHEAT!" Amaya shouted after him, flapping her armor's wings more rapidly to try and gain on the fleeting Arin. He certainly was cheerful. She hadn't ever seen this side to him.
"WAIT 'TIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!" Amaya cried out after him.

"It's not cheating if you meant it!~" Arin laughed whole heartedly and flipped over to look back at Amaya, before flipping over again to follow their navigator. Eventually, they found themselves flying towards a large island with different kinds of weather patterns all around the island. And circling that island was an old fashioned pirate ship, no doubt belonging to this 'hook' character, Peter told them about. Arin looked in awe at the island, wondering just what kinds of amazing things there could be on this island.

Amaya was redder than red. When Arin made that sing song voice again, saying it wasn't cheating if he meant it, she got even more flustered. He was even laughing at her as he flipped over to look back at her when he did so. Then, he flipped back over again.
"You just wait!" Amaya growled at him. She would get revenge for what he did by some means. As she flew behind the others, Amaya eventually took notice of the scene that opened out before them. She couldn't help but gape. It was an island surrounded by water. The water and island itself had the very appearance as if it were all on a map. How was that even possible? Peter acted as if this were completely normal.
Ahead, Amaya could see a rock formation in the shape of a skull, a pirate ship and all sorts of things. "Wow it's...beautiful..."

Arin slowed down and stopped laughing, smiling softly as he coasted beside Amaya, and making sure she knew he was slowing down intentionally. He knew he would get hell for the teasing, but it was fun while it lasted. He looked at Amaya when she said the island was beautiful, smirking softly
"I've seen prettier~" He looked away, blushing deeply as he flew beside Amaya now, taking his time while flying "What do you say we call it a tie?

Arin eventually slowed down so that he could fly at the same speed as Amaya. It was obvious that he was slowing down of his own accord. He still had a smile on his face. When she spoke of the island, Arin had said that he had seen prettier. Amaya rose a brow as she looked over at him. His face was red now. He was taking his time flying now.
Then, he suggested they call it a tie. Amaya rose a brow again at him. She flew right up to him, to the point of being mere inches from him. "Oh really?" she said before making a grab for his face with a hand. If she grabbed it, she'd gently push him down before shooting forward in the air.
"See ya~!"

Arin flipped around a couple times in midair, righting himself to see that Amaya had decided to continue the race. Grinning, he flew after her, chasing after the armor-clad girl "You sneaky girl!" He called after her, his mood lighter as he flew after his racing opponent.

Amaya shot toward the island, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell swerving aside in surprise as she passed them. By the time they realized who had passed them, Arin had shot after her, calling her a sneaky girl. Realizing they were getting left behind, Peter and Tink increased their speed, Tink bringing up the rear as Peter laughed, trying to catch up to the pair.
The armor-clad girl just laughed in response to what Arin had said. Yes, she certainly pulled a fast one on him. As for who would reach the island first remained yet to be seen.

Arin was slowly catching up to Amaya as he propelled himself forward, the mystical powers of the fairy dust moving him faster than Amaya's natural flight. Tapping his cauldron, he donned his armor, and tackled Amaya in mid flight, both of them falling into a nearby shoreline out of view of the pirate ship. They were tumbling in midair, so how the two landed was anyone's guess until they crashed into the soft sand.

Amaya could hear something behind her but she didn't dare look back. If she did, she risked losing the lead. It could cause her to lose her momentum if she peered over her shoulder. Still, she had the sinking feeling of being gained on. No doubt, Arin had to have been right behind her. Whatever Arin had on him, it made him move faster than she had anticipated. Before long, she could really hear something behind her, if not right next to her but she didn't look toward the source.
Before Amaya knew what happened, she was sent crashing into the sand, entangled with someone else. No doubt, Arin had tackled her and now they were tumbling into the soft sand below. When they crashed, Amaya coughed and spluttered, almost getting a mouth full of sand. As she recovered, she looked to where Arin had to have been.
"Hey! You tackled me!" Amaya stated.

Arin was covered in his armor, so when he face planted, all he had to do was lift himself up and the sand just fell off, no mouthfuls of sand for him. When Amaya accused him of tackling her, he grinned inside of his helmet, brushing the remaining sand off of his armor as he got to his feet "So what if I did? I may not be a bad guy, but that doesn't mean I don't know how to play dirty."

Amaya got to her feet and brushed herself off. She couldn't really see Arin's face but she had a feeling that he was smiling under that helmet of his. She frowned over at him, wiping the sand from her face after spitting out the last bit of it that had gotten into her mouth.
"You dirty boy!" Amaya retorted.

Arin removed his helmet, willing his armor to vanish as he grinned at Amaya, winking at her when she accused him of being a dirty boy.
"I don't see you complaining~"
He spotted Peter up in the sky still and waved him down, waiting beside Amaya as their navigator made his way down to them. "So, this is Neverland huh? Seems peaceful enough."

Amaya rose a brow as Arin removed that helmet of his. As he did so, he willed his armor to leave. He was grinning from ear to ear at her before winking at what she had just called him. In response, Amaya crossed her arms as he told her that she wasn't complaining.
"The man who kicked my butt and now this, some relationship this is turning out to be!" she retorted but there was a note of amusement in her voice. She wasn't actually upset. Then, Arin had waved Peter Pan and Tinkerbell down. As Peter reached where they were, Arin said that it seemed peaceful here.
"It is...for the most part. Cap'n Hook and his pirates cause a lot of ruckus now and then...can't help but have fun pestering that ol' Cod fish!" Yes, the kid seemed very amused at the idea of picking on that pirate.

Arin chuckled when Amaya retorted, turning toward the ocean to look for Peter Pan in the distance "Heh, love you too Maya~"
As Peter and Tinkerbell flew to the beach and hovered hear them, Arin mentioned the peaceful nature of the world. That was when Peter started explaining how sometimes the pirates of the world often caused trouble, so he had to stir up trouble of his own to 'pester' the captain of the crew; some guy named Hook.
"Well, given you're still in one piece, I can see you're a capable fighter. Though I don't really see a sword on you, nothing but that dagger, not much of a swordsman, Peter?"

Amaya rose a brow at Arin's sing song voice again. He was almost constantly using it. "You know, you don't always have to use a sing song voice when speaking to me, you abusive weirdo."
When Peter came over to them, Arin spoke. Amaya went quiet as she listened to what they were all saying. Arin could see that Peter was a capable fighter. However, all that Arin saw on Peter was a dagger and no swords or anything else. When Arin had asked him about not being much of a swordsman, Peter responded.
"Why use swords when you can move faster with a dagger? 'Sides, it's not like I can't use a sword if I want to."
"So, other than the pirates, have there been any incidents of trouble anywhere else around here?" Amaya figured that they'd best get to the bottom of it. Reiko was out there somewhere in this world. She dreaded finding her best friend but Amaya knew there was no other way.

Arin shrugged when Amaya criticized him for using a 'sing-song voice' not really thinking much of how he was talking "Sorry, guess I'm still getting used to something positive happening in my life."
When Peter responded to preferring to be faster with a dagger, but still able to use a sword if he had to, he was going to comment on that. But Amaya beat him to it, thinking it best to get to the point. Figuring this was a good idea, he kept quiet and let Peter respond.
