Here is a theory:

Maybe Baelfire is Peter Pan and he gathered the Lost Boys together, and when he and Hook became enemies, his hiding place was near the Mermaid Lagoon. There, after watching Hook's ship pass, a splash of water could be seen and Ariel will meet Baelfire, and in exchange for her protection, Baelfire could help her win Hook over, but when she sees that Hook doesn't love her, Ariel and Baelfire can recruit the Lost Boys, and maybe Princess Tigerlily and the Indians, and begin to lead war against Hook and his pirates. After the battle, Hook can sail away from the Lagoon, and a heart-broken Ariel can swim away from Neverland and go to Fairy Tale Land, where she can get the squid ink for the Blue Fairy and make a deal with the Evil Queen.
