Waking to a new day in Pixie Hollow; snuggled up in her bed, the moment Tinker Bell's mind could form a conscious thought, a smile and giggle comes from her as she recalls the event of the previous night.
-
She was in a horrible mood from Vidia's harsh rejection of her in front of herself and her sister, not to mention the embarrassment of the Fast-Flying fairy catching her in the middle of a very private moment with her sister. Late that night, Vidia visits her and admits through tears and repeated apologies for her harsh words, that she felt the same about Tinker Bell that the Tinker felt about her. Tinker Bell was so happy with Vidia accepting her that she gave the Fast-Flyer her first kiss.

Now, pressing her lips together, Tinker Bell thought back to the moment her lips touched Vidia's.
'They were so soft... and smooth. I wanna kiss her again!' Excitedly turning to face her closed door and blinking opening her sleepy eyes, briefly lifting her right hand rub away the crumbs of sleep, Tinker Bell stares at her door fondly.
'It's almost too good to be true... Vidia likes me the same as I like her... and we're a couple now!'
Giggling in excitement, Tinker Bell removes herself from her bed, standing in just her green leaf panties, lifting her arms up and extending her wings in a brief stretch.
“Nnngh... This has to be one of the best days I've had yet!” declares Tinker Bell happily, before a light blush rises on her cheeks with a smile. “I never thought this would happen so soon. I'll be able to put what I've been practicing these last two weeks into action. I need to thank Queen Clarion, what happened yesterday probably would've never happened if I didn't agree to spend time with her.”
Her smile fading a bit, Tinker Be...
... middle of paper ...
... put an end to it, the dreams were getting more and more, vivid... whether she said yes or no, I'd be able to put it behind me.”
“Heh, instead, you put yourself behind Peri's.” teases Vidia, bringing a groan from the blonde. “Seriously though, where did you learn to lick another person's butt? It's definitely not something the Queen would teach you.”
“Are you disgusted by it?” asks Tinker Bell, her frown fading for a look of worry.
“Oh, no, it's nothing like that. Everyone has at least one weird thing they're into, in my opinion anyway. I'm just surprised that licking that particular place is yours, by the way, did you brush your teeth this morning?”
“O-Of course I did!” declares Tinker Bell, her face turning a bright shade of red from what Vidia was implying, though Tinker Bell soon groans, turning around and continuing ahead, commenting, “Let's just find Peri.”
Something so sure, it was a matter of time Until you fell asleep and it was the last of your lifetime You were a woman always in control, had you considered Getting lethal drugs that a doctor administered? In the end you were grime and so alone I called but you couldn’t pick up the phone
“I lit a match and held it close to tinkerbell’s face to show her how it felt….. Suddenly, her eyes grew wide, as if with fear: I realized, to my horror, that her face was starting to melt (Walls, 16)”.
...’s nature which yearns for expression. For a moment, she feels she touched on such a shared intimacy with the tinker and it is easy to see why she could have been so easily mistaken because the tinker does imply that he also has that sort of aesthetic sensibility when he describes the chrysanthemums which will bloom later in the summer, “Kind of a long-stemmed flower? Looks like a quick puff of colored smoke?” (282). When the tinker casts her plants aside, it is almost as if he cast aside Elisa’s dreams as well. It’s not just this brief episode that makes Elisa’s cry, but what is really upsetting her is the thought of a future where she feels unfulfilled and unchallenged.
Their interaction shows the negligence that women face when it comes to fulfilling their needs. Elisa is openly flirting with him because finally someone is willing to engage with her at a human level. It is clear it has been a long time since she has been stimulated sexually and intellectually. Their talk about the stars and the tinkerer 's adventures fill Elisa with wonder. She reverts into a submissive, yet excited, position, “kneeling on the ground looking up at him.
When the tinker comes into Elisa’s life she begins to reveal herself to another person for the first time. As soon as she meets him, Elisa and the tinker immediately begin to laugh and joke a bit. As they continue to speak, “Elisa took off her gloves and stuffed
As I sit here on this hillside, I watch the sun start to set and think about everything that has happened in the last few days. I can’t believe that it is mostly all over. I have finally returned home to Ithaca after 20 years. The battle with the suitors is now over, and I have won. Telemachus and my father are heading back to the palace now, where Penelope awaits for us. When I was originally reunited with Penelope, it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. Penelope has changed over the past 20 years and I don’t really know how I feel about her.
Elisa Allen is working on her garden and she sees her husband, Henry, speaking with two men about selling his steers. The garden bed and the house are called to attention and it is pointed out that they are very clean and organized. Once the strangers leave, Henry comes over to her and politely praises her on how lovely the garden looks and then wishes that she would attend to the orchards in the same way. She at first is egger to help but realizes that he was joking. Henry says they should celebrate by going to town and jokingly suggests seeing a fight, to which Elisa turns down. Henry leaves and a wagon pulls up with a charming, yet uneducated, tinker. They joke about the ferocity of the dogs. He asks for work to pay to feed his self and Elisa denies that there is work for him to do. He notices the chrysanthemums and tells her that he has a client that wants to raise some. She suddenly is excited and begins to ready some plants for him to take with him, and she instructs him on how to take care of them. She expresses her passion and her connection to the flowers in a seductive manner, even to the point of wanting to have physical contact with the tinker. She refrains from touching. The tinker points out that it’s hard to feel that way when hungry. Elisa gives in and finds something for him to work on. As the tinker works, Elisa expresses her opinion that women can do that same kind of work he does, to which he says it would be to lo...
“Well many people consider that to be worse,” added Trunk. “Double yuk,” Gilbert squirmed his displeasure of the subject presented.
"I could get rid of her so we could be married and live happily ever after. Just you me and our little boy. Don’t that sound wonderful Tommy darling? She asks dreamily.
Initially, John Steinbeck’s short story, “The Chrysanthemums” illustrates the internal conflict a sorrowful housewife faces. The day-to-day life of character, Elisa, seems like a boring one and Steinbeck attempts to remind the reader to not give into temptation and cherish loved ones. During the dialogue, Elisa’s husband, Henry, offers an idea to go out to dinner and the less than enthusiastic response of, “I’ll have plenty of time to transplant some of these sets” (Steinbeck 435) proves that Elisa cares more about her garden than spending time with her husband. Rather than make an effort to bond with her spouse, she appears to be reluctant when asked to go out and enjoy a simple night on the town. Additionally, the failure of a connection between the couple gives the Tinker an opening to make an impact on Elisa’s mental state. Once the Tinker gives her the least bit of attention, Elisa’s entire demeanor starts to change. When Elisa is first described to us, she is unwomanly: “her figure looked blocked and heavy, and she wore a “man’s black hat pulled low down over her eyes” (Steinbeck 438). Although, she is not portrayed as a strong symbol of femininity, the Tinker has spiked an interest in her taboo ways. In the web article “Symbolism in ‘The Chrysanthemums’,” Elizabeth Kassim classifies the tinker as the “catalyst in Elisa’s life”(http://www.lonestar.edu). The admiration of the flowers leads the tinker to admire Elisa. Her sexuality is defined by the chrysanthemums and she “tears off the battered hat and shakes out her dark pretty hair” (Steinbeck 441). With a few kind and well-placed remarks by the Tinker, Elisa thinks there could be a new beginning all aspects of her life. Elisa’s marriage and the way she feels about herself ...
“Sometimes I wake and find myself standing in the open doorway and not a stitch on my body! I always hear her laughing in my sleep. I hear her singing her Barbados songs and tempting me
and speaks with Elisa about her Chrysanthemums. By asking just one question, the tinker opens
“Don’t! You probably have lice and I am not washing everything in this house again. Come on,” she said, grudgingly, dragging me by the wrist. “Let’s at least get you both cleaned up before we continue arguing about what to do.”
Elisa was impressed of the tinker's freedom and his way of life. The tinker offers his service, repairing pots and pans, to Elisa, but she refuses at first. However, the tinker does not give up and tells Elisa about a customer that would be interested in her chrysanthemums. Elisa's attitude instantly changed and after her discussion with tinker she finds some work for the tinker to work on. Elisa's husband, Henry, takes her out later to the city for dinner.
“What is it? What is it?” I exclaimed as I jumped rapidly around the kitchen. My mind raced. Was it another doll? Maybe the game I had been wanting? Tinkerbell perfume! That is what it must be. I had always wanted Tinkerbell perfume. Everytime I saw it in a store I would shout and point with such excitement. I thought it had magical powers that would make me fly. My imagination always ran with ideas as most children’ always do.
