The Light Of Dawn

Petty Jealousy

The two spoke in a light-hearted manner, until a glowing fairy zipped towards them, and began pulling on Esther's hair

"Ack!" Esther yelled in pain as the small creature pulled on her hair, making small high-pitched noises

"Tink!" Peter exclaimed excitedly, either not realizing, or not caring that Tinkerbell was pulling on Esther's hair

Soon, as quickly as Tinkerbell found her way over, she was at Peters's side, giving a sly eye to Esther, causing Esther a confused and disheartened look.

"Ah, Tink! I missed you!" Pan was smiling brightly, and upon notice of this Esther, she smiled along as Tink's tiny form had her hand on Peter's nose in a playful manner.

Quickly, the small moment ended as Pan's eyes landed on Esther's soft smile, his heart beat fast and his lips parted slightly, Tinkerbell noticed the look he had as he stared at the young girl, she became a little discouraged by this, her baby blue eyes glared at Esther.

To no surprise, Esther happened to be the last to realize the moment had changed, as she shook back to earth, or rather, neverland from her last disassociated state, she caught the two staring at her, Peter with curious eyes, a spark of something else deep inside, and Tink with an envious glare.

Esther looked at them, quickly causing Peter to turn away awkwardly as his face flushed, Tinkerbell flew a little farther from him, constantly glaring at Esther.

"So, Esther..." Pan began as he took a deep breath to calm himself down, not quite understanding the whole emotion he felt, but he could deal with that alone and later "How about a tour of the island?"

"A tour of the island?" Esther asked in response, tilting her head curiously

"Yeah!" Peter answered, flying closer to Esther and taking her hands in his once again, causing her to take a step back, though still feeling Tinkerbell's glare locked onto them, causing a shiver to run down Esther's back

Peter dropped her hands as she stepped back, he landed his feet on the ground and lifted his hand to rub the back of his neck nervously. Seeing this reaction, Tink rolled her eyes

"I mean, I would think you want to see the island... and the mermaids" Peter chuckled nervously

Esther's eyes grew, sparkling in excitement at the mention of mermaids, somehow, Peter knew how to say exactly the right thing.

"In that case... I would love a tour of the island!" Esther exclaimed in excitement, though Tink just rolled her eyes at the fact that now she was just being ignored.

"Great!" Peter laughed, clapping his hands together, but a smirk quickly made its way onto his face

"I can carry you again." Peter winked at Esther, causing Tinkerbell to glow red in anger and jealousy

"I don't think that's necessary-!" Esther attempted to assure Peter otherwise, but she was cut off, quickly finding herself scooped up into his arms, his feet floating off the ground once again

"Too late!" Pan teased as he took off flying with a huge cheesy smile painted on his face. Esther screamed playfully as Peter flew off with her in his arms, leaving the obviously forgotten and furious Tinkerbell behind.

With Tink

Tinkerbell stared, fuming as she saw the 'New Girl' in Peter's arms, she growled as she saw them quickly disappear into the direction of the mermaids, feeling forgotten and furious, Tink decided to head home. Or rather, where she and Peter were staying to avoid the lost boys as much as possible.

Tink flew off, her wings fluttering as she flew, left alone with her thoughts, her horrid thoughts, but ones she pushed down and away until she arrived at a small hideout in a tree, it wasn't what their old home was, but it was good enough.

Tink flew to her room, a small room carved into the tree, it wasn't much but it was nice overall. With a small bed, she could lay on, a desk, a closet, and a mirror. The look on her face darkened as she landed.

A look of rage came onto her face as the interactions between Peter and the girl came fresh in her mind, she began to knock things over and off the desk, ripping covers off her bed and curtains down, only to get this rage out, she hated it, all of this.

Tinkerbell knew exactly how this ended, she knew the game. Peter would brink some girl here, only to have some stupid adventure, and flirt with her like there was no tomorrow, maybe that had been because there never was. Tinkerbell didn't even know if Peter understood the pattern, well, after all, he had the mind of some 8-year-old, but the arrogance of some teen prince.

Peter thought he was so great, but he never was. Playing with girls left and right, each time making them think he liked them, making them like him, but it was the same every time, even with Tink...

She stopped, breathing heavily as she stood in the middle of her room, which was now a wreck from her anger, her feelings always got the best of her, she knew it, but she couldn't control it, she didn't want it to be her fault and really, it wasn't, but she felt terrible about it.

She remembered back when he first brought Wendy here, she had excitement that there was finally another girl but then, anger for the same reason. She had built a life for herself, one without... Them. A life away from Pixie Hollow, but when Wendy came, everything seemed to crumble.

That one day marked the beginning of something bigger, nothing was the same anymore. Peter would daydream about her even after she left, even during the fight, he cared every moment, but Tink hated that he was getting so close to someone that she didn't like.

After Wendy left, it seemed like the worst was over, but it had only just begun. After that adventure ended, Pan started spending more time looking for a new adventure, and less time with Tink and the lost boys, because of that a few decided to leave, they didn't know where they were, but it was fine.

Soon later, Peter found Jane, Wendy's daughter. That time, she seemed like less of a threat and more like a friend, but it was always good to be cautious until the same thing that happened with Wendy happened.

After a big fight, Jane left, at that point, it felt like some loop. Peter would bring a girl, he would flirt with her, they would fight, she would leave, and Tinkerbell hated it.

Now, with this new girl, the game is played again, and the loop replays in Tinkerbell's mind, a loop she believes will be the future. Peter brings her, Peter flirts with her, and She falls for him. They live nicely until they fight, she decides she misses her family, and she leaves, making even more a wreck of Tinkerbell's life.
