This story embellishes on several characters introduced in my story "The Loving Porn Queen" (see Chapters 4 and 5 of that story especially). I dedicate this to all the Pixies I have known and loved. Enjoy, vote and please comment.

The Pixie's name was Melissa. She'd always been small compared to everyone else in her life, especially her parents. Her father β a six footer - told me that as she grew up they'd always thought she'd catch up to her cohorts with a growth spurt of some kind but she never did. The Pixie's mom stood about five-nine.
Mel stood exactly five feet tall and weighed about a hundred pounds. She looked trim, even shapely for her small size, with legs that turned an eye, coupled to well-proportioned hips and a cute little butt that'd catch your attention as she walked away from you β particularly if she was wearing tight cutoffs. Besides her petite size, she had a striking face, a perky nose and pleasant mouth, angular cheeks with smiling eyes, and all that surrounded by long blond hair that she often pulled back into a ponytail.
One other fact was inescapable about her β she was stacked! She had a set of knockers on her that defied the laws of gravity and made every male eye (and many females) turn in awe and wonder as she passed by. They weren't grotesque or bulbous; they were just remarkable β truly remarkable. Somehow, in seeing her you knew they were 'naturals,' just the way Mel was overall.
In school, because of her pint size, she'd been given the nickname 'The Pixie' and never lost it. She liked the implication of mischievous cuteness and magic the name implied. The overall impression of Mel was that of a 'sexpot' β a small, hot body that might do just about anything and probably had.
The Pixie had an unusual personality. She was a rebel, carefully figuring out what was 'normal' and then doing anything but.
I'm Doug and I've been married to the Pixie for eight years. Together we've had two daughters both of who show signs of 'pixie hood' in spite of my six-foot frame and more conservative personality.
I met the Pixie about four years before we got married. Even though I was a junior at Ohio State and a fraternity man, I'd managed to stay pretty naΓ―ve about life and relationships. Slightly shy and a hopeless romantic at heart, I evaluated just about every female acquaintance against some high standards I'd developed for the role of soul mate, but at that time no one had come even close.
I thought of myself as a 'catch' when the right soul mate did come along. Besides a sense of humor, I'd been told by some dates that I was handsome, and in fact I did have that square-jaw, dark eyed, clean-cut look about me. Further, at the time, I was a fraternity man; a label that I thought imparted some mystical qualities of attractiveness to me. As I said, I was naΓ―ve about life at the time.
I met Mel for the first time the day she arrived at OSU as a freshman. Along with the rest of the male population that saw her, my eyes popped out of my head the first time I saw her sexy body walk by. She was wearing a peasant scoop-neck top and a short skirt with spike heels. I can still remember the moment I first saw her, just as though I took a photograph of her that instant when she came to my information table at freshman orientation.
Lots of impure thoughts raced through my mind and the words "SOUL MATE" flashed before my eyes in large capital letters. I fell in love with her in that instant. I'd been looking for my soul mate for at least six years (I was twenty one at the time) and suddenly, in just that glance, I knew she was "The One". A friend of mine once convinced me that we each have an aura and that our auras meet and interact β sharing the totality of information about ourselves - well before we ever say a word to the other person. This is why first impressions are often so accurate.
I'd volunteered to staff an information table at freshman orientation for the University. I was dressed in my 'Joe Cool' college outfit: tight jeans, loafers with no socks, and a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up part way. My specialty that day was how to register for the courses you want. The Pixie came to my table first. We were both wearing nametags: mine said "Doug" and hers said "Melissa".
We talked and I think she felt some magical connection too. We even flirted a bit; you know using body language to signal you like someone. We leaned into each other's comments and questions; soon we were very close. We touched a few times, as though to emphasize a point. Each time I felt some electricity run through my body.
I devoted myself to answering her questions about the course registration process as well as many other aspects of campus life. Her questions were intelligent and a cut above the naivetΓ© of most incoming freshmen. Before she left my area to checkout the other tables she was supposed to visit, and with my knees knocking slightly, I asked her to come to a welcome party for new freshmen on Saturday night at my fraternity house. Mel accepted.
After Mel had prowled the rest of the tables at the Orientation Session, she came back to my table. I broke off from the guy I'd been talking to so I could devote undivided attention to the Pixie. She gave me her campus address and we set a time for me to pick her up on Saturday. She asked if I would escort her out to her 'ride' and of course I jumped at the chance.
Mel's ride turned out to be a little pink Vespa motor scooter. I'd never seen anything like it. She dug a matching helmet out of the rear luggage compartment and put it on as I watched, commenting about how unusual the scooter was.
Mel said, "I do lots of things that are unusual β the more the better. Maybe you'll want to find out, and maybe you won't." Then, just before she left, she came up close to me and pulled my head down and kissed me on the cheek. "You're cute," she told me. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun together."
The rest of the day I could think of little else but the Pixie. I'd been told I could be unemotional so it was most uncharacteristic of me to feel my stomach do flippity-flops over some girl I'd just met. Not only did I feel funny, but also I started having little fantasies about Mel β everything from wild sex to just sharing a simple meal with her.
Time passed very slowly over the two days before Saturday. I went out of my way to often walk by her freshman dorm hoping to run into her again, but didn't see her until it was time for our date. By that time my emotions had ranged from wild elation and certainty that I would sweep her off her feet and that she'd fall in love with me on Saturday, to near suicidal depression that she'd totally reject me and that I'd never see her again.
Mel turned out to be a savvy young woman that knew exactly what her attraction to males was all about. She also knew how to change the basis of the relationship away from sex and her gorgeous breasts into other, more fun or intellectual endeavors. She also had the magic capability to absorb huge quantities of beer without showing the slightest signs of inebriation or loss of mental faculties.
Thus, at my fraternity's welcome party, mainly for frosh girls, Mel drank me under the table, mostly as we sat and had deep discussions about ourselves, careers, life, spirituality and what made us feel happy. Mel's views on practically every topic were well thought out, yet often unusual.
For instance, rather than taking courses to get some career certification, she wanted a mix of general science and business courses that would let her do about any kind of job. Thus, she was the only person on campus signed up for the business science degree program. Further, she'd decided on a minor in art, making the whole package a very unusual combination.
In terms of religion, she belonged to no normal faith. Instead, she explained, she had read rather widely in the area of metaphysics and eastern religions. She even showed me a small tattoo on her wrist of the Chinese symbol for the Tao. "It reminds me to be in harmony with the world, yet to seek a full and rich life that makes me happy."
As we got to know each other, I found that Mel had taken a special education program through middle and high school, resulting in her graduation over a year earlier. For the past year, she'd gone to Europe on her own to 'see the world'. While there, she'd decided to go to Africa and help in some way regarding the spreading AIDS epidemic. She'd ended up working as a volunteer in a woman's clinic in Zimbabwe teaching sex education - mainly disease and birth control. All I did of note last year was bag groceries at the nearby market.
Somehow, in spite of the beer, I managed to be the most brilliant I think I've ever been. Suddenly, I found I actually had an intellect and could have deep discussions on profound subjects. The Pixie also seemed impressed, however, both impressions might have been influenced by the prolific amount of beer that the two of us consumed.
I fell deeper in love with her that night, however, she was cautious; she emphatically told me she planned to play the field while at college β at least for a while. In spite of that partial rejection, she told me she 'liked' me and wanted to see me again. She even added the word "Please". I felt those little 'flippity flops' again, particularly when she accepted my invitation for another date.
I dreamed about the Pixie every night now. I would say little prayers about her and our future together. I found myself promising to reform all of my bad habits if only she would fall madly in love with me. Everywhere I went on campus I watched for her, continually disappointed that our paths didn't cross.
I got to first base with Mel a few nights after that welcome frat party when she deigned to go out with me on our second date and we spent a lot of time with our tongues down each other's throats. I know both our temperatures were elevated by the time we called it quits that night. I could tell she liked me. I saw Mel a couple of other nights over the next week or so and we repeated our heavy make-out sessions.
