Gentleman Prefer Blondes - Destination Canada

*This is a journal by Lorelei whom is not very intelligent and in the book by Anita loos it is written with spelling errors.

June 25^th:

The cold wether in New York has finaly set in providing Dorothy and I with a desperate scurry, to secure a new winter cloak. I have herd of a new suitor being in town, one by the name of Mr Broderick. He sounds charming, the heir to a massive fortune of an oil well somewhere in Canadia . I know Canadians aren’t very interesting but it is not one’s fault being bought up around servants with little sense of humour. I was lucky to have been able to be taught charm. he I expect shall be my new acquaintance, as soon as I discover if his trust is only followed by fund. I am hoping to charm him at a gala for some famous European painter. Lorelei you can charm your way with the French, the British and the American, soon to be Canadian as well.            

I will let you know how it goes hopefully Dorothy doesn’t say too much like last time, that was a night of wasted stockings. I mean she has always been around when I am told I am the thinker of the two, hence why Mr Eisman gave me these diaries, to create mini encyclopedias of my thoughts.

June 30^th:

The other evening was a swell evening at the least. He called on me the very next day and to 5th Avenue it was as he noticed I was shivering all of the evening. He has since bought me my lovely and soft fox fur coat. I believe I heard his servant giving him a meassage from tiffanys so I  except some very expensive and tasteful diamond assortment soon. I am working my charm with him ever so well I believe he will be taking me to Canada very soon.

We were having lunch at the Ritz today and Mr Broderick said he is very delighted by Dorothy also and has a friend in Canada whom shall apparently fall all over her and lavish her with gifts, a brunette man of course. Dorothy is very cute but a silly girl only just do brunette men look past me and to her.  We quarrel so often lately as she is not very active in her puursuit of a husband such as I. This diary is proving very tricky, as I have to be ready so ever early as Mr Broderick is a very early riser and I never know when it is he will call. So early infact I am worried I have not had any beauty sleep in this whole time since meeting him. And, Tomorrow we shall go drinking champagne and dancing, I do hope to see him dance but only if he is any good, like I am.

July 6^th:

It is agreed Dorothy and I will be leaving on the first train the day after next escorted by Mr Broderick. He was in such a jolly mood on the Independence Day, sherry always has this affect on him he says. So I have decided to take a bottle with me as to ensure he is always jolly when feeling down. He asked me if I was a lady as true to him as he knows and gave me a necklace so full of diamonds my eyes sparkled so. We are going to meet his father who is very old and very sick. Meaning he will be very busy and important taking over the business. I am working on a proposal, as a busy man will leave me at my will to shop and charm my way up in society. I am very good in controlling my self and not giving him any part of me as to make me more of a temptation than I already am. Dorothy is ever so excited to meet this man, he has written her and invited her to stay. We both have so much to do. We need to pack and empty our deposit boxes of all our jewellery we have aquired over Europe and America. Oh how to handle with such little time?

July 7^th:

The most awful think has happened. It is unthinkable. I will not even been getting out if bed today, possibly ever again. Oh why the fates are against such a smart girl like me at this time? My previous fiancé Harry has come to New York as he heard of my travel plans. He has informed Mr Broderick that I attempted to kill him, as he was a cheat. It was just a sleeping drug so I could take my things and leave without becoming so upset caught in an argument with him. It was more a concern for my life than for his.

I have just received a letter, I shall still remain in the confines of my bed, but I am a fractionally less distraught. Mr Broderick was very charmed by me he has said that I am to stay here and he will call for me after he has spoken with his mother. Mothers always love me and Fathers, but he is too sick and his mother must stay with him. So Dorothy will still go and fight my case with her potential new suitor and explain to Mrs Broderick the real predicament I was in and again will be if I do not get her blessing, and that all I shall ask of her is a meeting. I just hope Dorothy does not overspeak where not necessary and her unrefinement does not reflect badly on me. I am ever so ill by this news Harry brought, I hope one day I can recover.

10 FanFic- Shay

Jane Eyre
This is a simple retelling of Jane Eyres arrival to Rochester, in the modern world. Taking the elegance and beauty from a famous love story with a beautiful setting, to the busy technology riddled society of today. It is told in a first person point of view through the eyes of Jen Reye.

Sixteen Candles
After Sam has her awful week and everyone forgets her birthday, she finally gets the boy of her dreams Jake Ryan. When the film ends he has a cake for her and a kiss, this is of the next day and a continuation of the love story from the eighties we all wanted to know about. It has a third person point of view. It works as it is a highschool sweethearts romance story.

Life after Loss (Harry Potter)
This is told in third person point of view it is a snippet from post Harry Potter, after the battle of Hogwarts and Fred was killed. This story works as it has humour, grief all tying up to the final Harry Potter book and the humour is inline with that of J K Rowlings. It also leaves suspense in the ending line and questions as to how who when with the mention of the knife. It engages the reader to explore and want to read more.

Malcolm In the Middle
This is in the future beyond the series of Malcom in the Middle where Malcom is off to harvard. It is a very emotional piece told though first person from Reeces' eyes. It takes too much away from the humour of Malcom in the Middle. To lighten it up they possible needed t add in another brother. However, the story did relate to the brothers well and you could get the sense of feeling from Malcom and Reece that they would react in a similar way had it been a show which aired.

Titanic 
The only thing in this piece relevant to the titanic is Jack and Rose. Otherwise it is set in highschool in the eighties and Jack is an Orphan and Rose is his girlfriend. Jack still contains his cheeky naughty cabin boy humour and way and he still thinks Rose is beautiful and holds he on a pedestal. It is writen in third person point of view. It is a crossover of characters from the Titanic and a crossover of setting with Ferris Buellers Day off.

Matilda 
This is in third person point of view however i feel that there is too much  dialogue. through this it crams too much information and major points of the story Matilda into one chapter. I like the introduction of a friend for Matilda who is ballsy otherwise i am not a fan of this piece. Takes away the fear of Ms Trunchball, and the build up of love and hope we all have for Matilda. 

Never Been Kissed 
This story is quite interesting as it is in frist person point of view through Sams eyes. The majority of the film is Josie and her voicing her feelings, you can only sense his. Now you have his demons battling inside him on paper it is very relevant to the story and could have happened.I like how he refers back to the penguins alot to try and distract himself from thinking of Josie but then he just bounces back into something deeper about her and his want for her.

Cry Baby 


This is a chapter from within the movie where Allison square falls for Cry Baby a Drape, so low trailer trash drape and upper middle class squares. It is told in first person point of view through Allisons eyes. It is a romantic segment and shows cry baby in an innocent vulnerable way that she has not, nor anyone seen him before. It works as Allison would have a fight with her over controlling Grandmother and Cry Baby would to alot for Allison in the first stage of lust in their relationship. 


To Kill a Mockingbird
This is in first person point of view. Boo Radley was a simple man whom was always a mystery in the book. To have this piece written through his eyes is very interesting and touching the way he thinks children need help trouble. This being such a turning point and moot point in the story it is focused really well and is done effectively. 


Noughts and Crosses
I like the way the piece is written in chapters under names of the characters and then written through their point of view. It is interesting to have Callum alive as it changes so many outcomes in the following books. However, the characters have been adapted well, the worrying Sephy, the evil sinister Jude and the lost boy Callum.

Emma's Fanfiction, The Science of Sleep: Le Bateau de Rêve/The Boat of Dreams

Stephanie is stroking his hair. Her hand feels nice, soft and comforting. Is she really stroking his hair, or is this just a dream? Please let this be real he thinks, but he doesn't really care anymore. He is beginning to regret those harsh things he said to her, well it is true that he does like her boobs because they look friendly and unpretentious. He hadn’t meant to offend her but maybe she didn’t see it as the compliment it was intended to be. Stephanie’s fingers lightly run down his neck and onto his shoulders. Stephane is proud of her for finishing the mezzanine. He likes it up here, being high up from the ground closer to the sky. "Stephane m'aimes-tu? Faut-il aller pour une voile de notre bateau?" Stephanie says softly in his ear bringing Stephane back from his thoughts. "Huh?" Stephane mumbles. "Please no French Stephanie it makes my head hurt". Stephanie laughs, throwing her head back, dark hair falling down her back. “Viens maintenant imbecile, come Stephane lets go”. She says as she grabs his hand.

They are both sitting on Golden the Pony Boy whose fabric is rough and worn, with its edges fraying between its large white cotton stitches. Stephanie’s arms are around his waist and her head resting against his shoulder as they gallop through the trees. “Look!” Stephanie shouts pointing a long finger to the ground ahead.  The one-second time machine is lying discarded, its wires curling and twisting amongst the dry autumn leaves.  "We can't leave it behind ", says Stephane jumping down to pick it up. He flicks the switches forwards in time, backwards in time. Nothing, a frown depends on his face, “I think it’s broken”. Stephane says as he passes Stephanie the machine. “We’ll take it with us and you can fix it on the boat” She suggests.

 

The little wooden boat of trees is waiting for them, it creeks as it jumps up and down in the blue water of the lake made of cellophane. “It looks perfect Stephane, I think we did a good job” says Stephanie, smiling at their creation, “the amount of white cellophane you added is perfect!” She cups her hands over her ears as the wind whistles around them, blowing her hair in swirls around her head.  “Although I did not imagine it to be so stormy, but I suppose that makes it all the more exciting!”  They set Golden the Pony Boy free so he can roam the grassy fields, his golden mane and tail made from pieces of string stream behind him as he gallops away.  

Stephane’s head is bent over his one-second time machine he is fixing as they sit in the boat with the land moving gradually into the distance. His hair is blowing across his face and in his eyes and the boat is rolling on the swell of the lake. But he doesn’t seem to notice as he concentrates, his fingers fiddling with the wires and switches “There!” he says as he holds up the fixed time machine triumphantly. “I have always been good with my hands”.  “Oui oui, I know” Stephanie answers. “Come here Stephane” she says and pats the ground where she sits.

They lie in the boat amongst the trees and look up at the darkening sky. Pieces of blue and white cellophane are flying up and landing in the boat around them, some are getting caught in the spindly branches of the trees. The wild animals are chasing each other across the red felt blanket with the large white stitches keeping them warm from the fresh evening air as they lie curled up together. Over the noise of the wind they can hear the cardboard city across the water with the loud beeping of cardboard cars, the rattling subways and musical sirens. Unexpectedly Stephanie leans closer to him, so close he can see, even in the dim light, the yellow flecks in her brown eyes. Please let this be real Stephane thinks again, he has been waiting for what seems like forever for this moment. He is surprised he hasn’t grown old; a grey beard long and wiry sprouting from his chin and his hands turning gnarled, wrinkled and weathered. Slowly their lips meet.

Suddenly Stephane hears a voice surrounding him and he reluctantly pulls away from Stephanie, “Come in action two, can you complete the mission?” “Come in action two can you complete the mission?” It keeps repeating itself, getting louder and louder. He puts his fingers in his ears. Stephanie is laughing at him. Why is she laughing? Stephane opens his eyes, his white-washed bedroom ceiling stares back at him. He groans and reaches for his alarm clock, “come in action two can y...” the voice stops. Stephane lets his eyes fall shut again, “I love you Stephanie God damn it!”

Sapphires fanfiction picks briefly analysed.

What I did this summer-Glee

The first Fanfic I looked at was a cross-over between Glee and Buffy. The fanfic was told in the second person through Brittany's perspective. I really enjoyed this cross-over. It had some humour in it and the author stayed true to the character of Brittany. It was quite interesting reading about how Brittany reacted to her experiences in such a serious environment,her character is always portrayed as somebody that acts 'aloof' and does not seem all there. Instead of the fanfic being a story about one event the fanfic included various events throughout a time frame, the author separated these events by a single line. By separating each event within the story it made the fanfic easier to read and understand.

New Betty-Ugly Betty

This Fanfic was based on the main character Betty Suarez. It portrayed an alternate universe where Betty is presented as a sophisticated young assistant and not the clumsy inexperienced character that we are used to. The story was written in and contained mostly dialogue said between the characters. The author tried to focus on small details to help the reader focus on specific aspects of the setting. A good way the author achieved this was by describing the state of Betty's teeth compared to Marc's.

With just one blink of an eye-Slum dog Millionaire

This fanfic was told from Latika's point of view and is set in the slum's when Latika and Jamal were still children. Although this fan fiction kept with the story of Slum dog Millionaire I felt that the author was not telling the story through the eyes of a child but through the viewpoint of an adult. The author said things like 'my dreams were of Jamal, living in a house with our family. Two boys and one girl' which is something a small child does not really think about. This made the fanfic sound a little inaccurate. I did like how the author described the setting e.g. 'the sound of fire crackling filled the air', it made the story interesting and more enjoyable to read.

The Gangsta Conundrum-Based on Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code series

Although this fan fiction is yet to be completed I found this story very humorous. The author took a much debated novel and turned it into what seems like a comedy, they even go on to say that the story they have written is a 'piss poor knock off'. Although this may offend some people I thought it was a refreshing change from the other fan fiction stories based on the Da Vinci Code series that tend to focus more on serious aspects of the novel. The chapters that were written were very easy to read even though they were mostly made up of dialogue with very little introduction to the setting. The author also tried to change the name of the main character the story was based on (Robert Langdon to Bobert Lungdon), this could have been done to make the readers laugh. Overall I enjoyed this rather short fanfic.

How Phil got injured- The Hangover

The author of this fanfiction has decided to write a background story of an unexplained event that happened in the movie The Hangover. Written in third person this story contained a lot of dialogue that seemed to fit well with the characters. This fanfiction in my opinion is believable because the author has tied it in to fit the original story. They have not introduced any new characters but have simply tried to explain to those who have watched movie, what might have happened to Phil. This fanfic would be more suitable for an adult reader because of the use of use of swear words, guns (etc).

Precious Memories-WALL-E

Based on the Pixar Comedy WALL-E this fanfiction was a brief insight what a normal day for wall-e might be like. While this story had a lot of description I found that the story was lacking some excitement. The author ends the fanfic with 'what precious memories teenagers carry' this makes it seem as if the whole reason for their story is to write about teenagers. I thought that writing about humans while relating it to the movie WALL-E, was a little inaccurate in terms of the story line because the main character (wall-e) has never been in contact with a human before. The fanfic was overall easy to read and the description of the setting was well written.

I'm a famous movie character get me out of here!-Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter (etc)

This fanfiction is a crossover between Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry potter and Disney. The author took selected characters and placed them in a different setting. This is the first fanfiction I have read that has done this and I thought that this approach to fanfiction writing was enjoyable to read. The story was very humorous and the author has used the same mannerisms that the characters use in their movies. This allowed me to see how each character would relate to each other in a different environment. There were a few spelling mistakes (Larry instead of Harry) but the mistakes did not make the story difficult to read or understand.

tingting's ten fanictions

Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings Crossover

The fanfiction has written by third person. It is a crossover of the Harry Potter and the Lord of the rings. This is using past tense to write the story. It is quite different from the movie. In this fanfic, the write wrote the Harry becomes Dumbledore and the goal he was working on is make his age and the physical body match. The story use Harry’s point of view of watching his funeral show the story is crossover. He is outside of his life and he is like another person to watch his own life in the real world.

Princess Diaries and Princess Diaries Crossover

This fanfiction is written in the first person. It use Mia’s point of view to write her own dairies. The fanfic use past tense and present tense. It uses many dialogs to show her talking to her friend, and it is also like a sequel of the movie. She becomes of the queen of the country; even it describes her awful queen life.  The fanfic leaves the wonder to the reader it says they will be going to make the story more fun.

Anybody Out There?

This fandiction is written by third person and second person combine together. It’s kind of different from the fanfic we normally read. The story uses past tense. It’s like two persons are in the story and one is telling us the story one is the narrative the story. Actually, the second person is the inside of Kathleen(the narration). It’s really interesting that story has got two personalities.

Twilight  

The fanfiction is written by first person. It’s about Bella first get to her father’s house, and it use past tense to write the story. It also describes herself heart talking. It’s all about Bella first seen the town and the house even the car her father gave to her. There is little bit about the first impression of Edward.  It’s just a narration when the story starts.

Catch Me Now

This is told in first person point of view through the whole story. There are not much of the dialogues; it’s more about personal thinking and talking. It’s written by present tense. It’s not a funny story, it’s like the author said I might a little bit lost in the story. I thinks the story is saying a teenager  struggle about what she has done in the school and her crazy life.

Secret Between Us » What it means to be alive

This is a sad story. The narration is scared of her father, because he will beat her when he is drunk. It’s written by first person and using past tense. It’s really showing how her life is awful. She was looking forward the new life, however her father break her hope. She is so hopeless even could cry. In the story, the verb writes of how violent her father is and point out how good Allan is, because he saved her from the bad man.

Six of Hearts series » Angelic Voices

The fanfiction has written by third person and it use past tense to write about it. It has used a word for a paragraph which point out what the author was trying to present which is how the ACE is worrying about Six and she is waiting for call from Six. There are only a few dialogues to show the talking of Ace and Six. It shows how they cares of each other and Ace is willing to make a date with him.

Last Vampire series » More Than One Choice
The fanfic is written by third person and it use past tense to create the story. It is like a magic story which is talking about a woman who is vampire is trying to kill everyone who knows the truth. The story uses a lot of the dialogues to shows the woman is making the dead or alive decision for the man she is chasing. The story even tells the story backwards and has a not too bad ending to finish the story. she didn't kill anyone. she felt love of the man.


Material Girl » Conspirators

That is a comics which is funny because is about two sweaters is talking about their owner. It uses third person to describe the story and past tense is to be used.  In the text, there are pretty much dialogues but they are not too boring. These two sweaters are acting like a people they feel sad that their owner doesn’t wear them anymore; they couldn’t accept the truth that they actually are forgotten.  

Pretty in Pink » Dreaming In Pink

The text is using past tense and third person to write the story, it is about a meet of Andie and Eric. It is a love story. There are more distributions of Eric and how they feel to each other.  It is quite romantic because the boy is being looking the girl for a long time. Although it seems complicated at first, because the relationship between Andie and Blaine even Duckie, as the story going I can find out the two main characters who are Andie and Eric. The fanfic has a happy ending which everyone would love to see.

Emma's 10 Fanfictions

Arthurian Mythology: Daughter of the Ever-Changing Sea

This piece of Fan Fiction is based on the Arthurian character Morgan, half sister of King Arthur. In 3822 words the story covers briefly Morgans life from when she was a child, her mother dying, growing up in a convent, meeting her half brother Arthur, plotting his death, ending up having a an affair with Arthur, getting pregnant to him then bringing up her son to hate his father. It is written in present tense and in third person narrative. Although it seems there is a lot going on and it was a tiny bit confusing with the sudden change in time frame, it actually has a very good narrative and this author definitely has a talent for story telling.

The vampire Chronicles: Third time's the Charm

A piece of Fan Fiction is based on two characters from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles: Lestat and Louis. In this story Lestat appears to be wounded and Louis heals him by offering him some of his blood. Is is slightly confusing as to exactly what context this story is in as the environment, time or setting are not really stated. It is written in third person, which is unusual for Anne Rice as she usually writes in first person. The way this is written is trying to mimic the unique and descriptive way Anne Rice does and actually achieves this quite well, however I feel that the choice of words are sometimes over-thought and therefore do not fit too well.

Outlander: From the Journals of Lord John Gray

This piece of Fan Fiction is written in first person and is a scene from the perspective of Lord John Gray a more lesser character from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. The narrative is great and so similar to that of Diana Gabaldon that it could easily be mistaken as hers. The author shows a very good understanding of the original character's personalities and mannerisms, including incorporating the character Jamie's Scottish accent in the text such as "I ken ye well...". Overall this is lovely piece of writing by a promising writer.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Because We're Meant for Each Other

This piece of Fan Fiction is based from Michel Gondry's film 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. In this story the main characters Joel and Clementine have recently erased their memories of being together but in a strange way they still love each other. It is written in third person and from more of Joel's side although it is not from his POV. The narrative is good, although in comparison to the movie this story is a lot more low key.






Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: As Garlic Cloves and Butter

This piece of Fan Fiction is a scene with the characters Mercutio and Benvolio from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The scene involves them discussing Romeo's new sickly infatuation with an un-named girl (obviously Juliet). It is written in third person and the dialogue is very Shakespearean but not to the extent that it is confusing. The writer does a very good job of setting this scene in Verona and the comical characters are captured true to Shakespeare's originals.

How I Met You Mother: What Remains

This piece of Fan Fiction is based from the popular television series 'How I met you Mother'. In this story the womanising character Barney is on his way to tell Robyn his feelings for her. It is written in present tense although it changes to past tense as he thinks back in time. The narrative is third person and it is written in a way that suits the original atmosphere of the program. However it is a little unusual to see Barney as a more thoughtful and contemplative character in this story in comparison to his original character who definitely is not.






Slumdog Millionaire: Holding your Heart

This piece of Fan Fiction is a story based from the movie Slumdog Millionaire. It centres on the character Latika as she thinks about her love for Jamal and how her being considered beautiful is a blessing as well a curse. Being beautiful has led her to into great harm but has also saved her from much worse circumstances. It is written in third person. The writer clearly loves the story of Slumdog Millionaire and understands the characters well, however overall the quality of writing is a little weak.

Homer's Odyssey: Hope Gone

This piece of Fan Fiction is from the cannon of Homer's odyssey. The story is about Odysseus's return home to the Greek Island of Ithaca, after a long an arduous journey from the battle of Troy. It is in past tense and in first person and told from the point of view (POV) of the character Amphinomous, one of Penelope's many suitors. This was supposedly written for a school English assignment which is quite surprising as I think it is written exceptionally well.

Pan's Labyrinth/El Laberinto del Fauno: Most Humble Servant

This piece of Fan Fiction is based from Guilliermo del T0ro's film Pan's Labyrinth. This story jumps from the main character Ofelia sitting with her pregnant mother to when she is in bed where Pan the faun comes and visits her. Fundamentally the story is about Pan's great love for the girl Ofelia which this writer captures beautifully. The narrative is simple but very effective and is written in third person and in past-tense.

Amelie: Flashlight Friendship

This piece of Fan Fiction is based from Jean-Pierre Jeunet's beautiful film Amelie. The story briefly describes the main character Amelie's childhood in comparison to that of Nino her eventual love interest and creates a scene where they meet as children via flashlight morse-code. It is written in past tense and third person narrative but is not very well constructed and a deep understanding of the characters clearly doesn't exist. The film is a hugely imaginative one but unfortunately this story lacks depth and creativity.

Kelly's Fanfiction: Pride and Prejudice - Mr. Wickham Revealed

    Longbourn, the Bennet’s estate, was nestled deep in the heart of the countryside, near the small town of Meryton. The regiment was routinely posted in this quaint town, and young uniformed men brought colour and frivolity into the lives of many a young lady, making life in the country a considerably lighter burden to bear.

    It would not be entirely truthful to say that they brought happiness to all whom they encountered, either personally or by default. For the fathers of these so affected young ladies, would have a fair amount to say concerning the military and its regiment of somewhat callow men. This, of course, were it not for the occasional success in the handing over of a daughter to an ardently devoted, yet rather naive young soldier. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, in the case of Mr. Bennet and his daughters, this was so far not the case, and therefore Mr. Bennet was not favourably disposed towards the regiment and its unseemly disturbance of the peace.

     The first stirrings of dawn brought the most unfortunate news. It came in the form of a letter. Correct the Bennets were in expecting the letter to be from their youngest daughter and sister Lydia, who as of now had spent already a week with Colonel Forster and his wife in Brighton, much to Kitty’s envy. Kitty also received a letter, which she read quietly upon its arrival.  

    Upon Lizzy's return to Longbourn, after traveling with Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner through the north country, finding Lydia gone to Brighton (the town in which the regiment was currently posted), she was exceedingly anxious to hear a report of the goings on. Lizzy had warned her father against sending Lydia alone.

 

“Oh, do hurry Jane,” Mrs. Bennet cried, “My poor nerves cannot cope much longer without news of my dear Lydia.”

“Yes, Mama,” Jane replied, as she rushed to open the letter.

“It is with much happiness that I write you this letter, my dear mother, sisters and of course Papa. This last week has been one of the most delightful I can recall.”

“I dare say we could venture the same,” offered Mr. Bennet.

“As you know, the regiment has been posted here in Brighton, and among them dear Mr. Wickham.”

“Dear Mr. Wickham!” exclaimed Lizzy, echoed by Mrs. Bennet.

“It makes me laugh heartily to think of the expressions on your faces as you read this letter. For it has not been but a week since I arrived here in Brighton, and already I have attended two balls, at which I stood up for no less than two and twenty dances."

"Two and twenty!" exclaimed Mrs. Bennet. "Why Mr. Bennet, it appears that our Lydia is catching the eye of many a gentlemen in the regiment." 

"I'm afraid I must cut this letter quite short for Mrs. Forster has suggested a trip into town, and the Colonel insists on our leaving immediately."

"Of that we can hurriedly forgive you my dear," concluded Mr. Bennet, as he rose to retire to his study.

                                               ........................................

"Kitty, are you feeling quite well? You've been dreadfully quiet since the arrival of Lydia’s letters." This, enquired by Jane, the most kind-hearted of the Bennet daughters.

"Jane, it's the most shocking thing. Lydia has just confessed in her letter to me, plans to elope, with Mr. Wickham!"

"But it cannot be," cried Jane. "Why, it hasn't been but ten days since her departure from Longbourn, and I don't recall any real signs of affection on Lydia's side, let alone that of Mr. Wickham."

"I cannot believe it," cried Kitty, close to tears, "My younger sister to be married!"

"But it must be true," declared the innocent Jane.  "Mr. Wickham must truly be in love with Lydia. How astonishing this could have happened so quickly, and with such little warning."

Lizzy, having overheard the conversation, recalled vividly the contents of Mr. Darcy's letter regarding Mr. Wickham, which she had received while staying with the Gardiners in Lambton.

"I'm afraid, dear sisters, that you may have been misled regarding the character of Mr. Wickham, and perhaps his plans of elopement with our poor, but stupid Lydia," began Lizzy. 

"For, while in Derbyshire, I learned something from a most trustworthy source. Something I had not wished to reveal, but that it seems now I must; previous indiscretions of Mr. Wickham that leave his character in a questionable light. I must speak to Father immediately, if we are to prevent such an outcome that will not only result in the loss of our youngest sister, but also in the most public humiliation and degradation, that will deem our entire family a disgrace to society!”

                                                  
                                             ..........................................                

“Oh Lydia, how relieved I am to see you my dear, and just in time to prepare for tomorrow evening’s ball,” cried Mrs. Bennet, rushing to the carriage to meet Lydia and Mr. Bennet.

“I hardly think a ball is what this young lady needs at present,” interrupted Mr. Bennet, “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have urgent business to attend to.”

Lizzy, inquisitively followed, “Father, do tell me what became of Mr. Wickham, after Colonel Forster found them in London. For surely he would not have gotten away with this act, and after his intentions were seen so clearly!”

“Ah, my dear Lizzy, Mr. Wickham’s true character was indeed revealed quite publicly. Colonel Forster, having received news of the alleged elopement, planned to follow the couple and intercept them on their way. Mr. Wickham, after promising an elopement to Scotland, had, when drawing near to London, rather foolishly revealed his intentions to Lydia regarding the avoiding of an immediate marriage. Poor Lydia was quite beside herself upon hearing this, and fortunately, upon their arrival in London, the Colonel intercepted them, and curbed any further plans of Mr. Wickham’s. Upon hearing Lydia’s account of events, it was quite clear to the Colonel regarding Mr. Wickham’s intentions, and he was immediately dismissed from the regiment.”

“Poor Lydia,” sighed Lizzy. “And to think these events have taken place at just fifteen years of age.”

“Yes, poor Lydia, but you must remember Lizzy, Lydia’s disposition, like your mother’s, recovers quickly and forgets readily. It won’t be long until the regiment is again posted in Merryton, and my peace is once again disturbed by the merciless giggles of two of the silliest girls in England. But we pray Lizzy, this experience will have taught Lydia a thing or two, and perhaps even something she will remember beyond tomorrow evening!”

the fanfic by tingting

She is holding a red bag with some golden flowers that are made of silks. She is going to bury these dead flowers that are from ground she picked. In her face, there is a sad tears falling from her eyes and it goes into soil. Why the tear is sad because she is always sad. No one can tell why DaiYu would cry for those dead flowers and no one can think of why she is a such pure girl just like a piece of snow. She doesn’t fit anything in the world.  She is made of jade. That’s why she watches things very differently. People in her family think she worrys about everything too much. The only one she cares of is BaoYu. She knows him well and she knows in that big family BaoYu is the only one who thinks of her and always watches things from DaiYu’s point.
Daiyu is too weak to get cold after she was standing in the wind to burry those flowers. She is sick and being a coma. Bayu is so worry of her and spends most times sit by her and keeps her in his eyes. After 2 days, she wakes up, however she is not she was. The person in her body is coming from century 21, from a girl who is lying in hospital because of a car accident. In the 21century, the girl is named Hua. She dose not know what’s going and where she is while she wakes up by using Daiyu’s body, but when Baoyu calls her “Daiyu, are you okay.” “……you are? Where am I?” “My silly girl, you are in your home, I am your……”Baoyu is hesitation. “your boyfriend!” He says it finally. Daiyu , oh not Daiyu, is Hua now, she gets some ideas about her identity and what year she is in now. She slowly accepts the truth which she past through from century 21 and she in Daiyu’s body although she has her own mind. It’s like a hermit crab that using the shell to keeping living although that is not she wants. Since she is getting well, she knows what the situation is now. From the book, she knows the story between Baoyu and Daiyu is a tragedy. “if I could not go back to the century that I belong to , why could not I help them being together happily ever after. I can change the history!”she thinks. In the after days, she starts getting into the character she is being.
In the history, Daiyu does not know how to keep her happiness and that’s the reason they both could not have a good ending. Hua really wants to have a try of making thing be different. As she is thinking of how to make Daiyu and Baoyu being closer and not making anyone doubt of her. Normally, Daiyu is too shy to give a reply to Baoyu just because she is a girl. Once Hua decides to do one thing she will have 100% confidence to finish it. She starts to do a little movement as she thinks. She is initiative talks to Baoyu, she shows how much she cares of Baoyu gradually and she does what Baoyu likes. Everyone could feel what she does for him even a stone.     
Now the chance is coming…….
Baoyu is asked to be married as soon as possible. As the history goes, Baoyu will marry to another girl because Daiyu is too shy to say yeas and she will be sick because of Bauyu’s marriages  until she die. Obviously that is not Hua is willing to see specially she is Daiyu now. In her mind, she is ready to say yes and spend rest of her life with Baoyu. In the first, she just wants the real Daiyu has a happy life with Baoyu, however after the days she spent with Baoyu she couldn’t control herself fall in love with him. He is a man with good manners and a good heart. He is man whom could not be seen in century 21. He thinks women are water which is clean, gentle and need to be protected. He really cares of Daiyu. He not only sees her as a princess but also reads her as worth book. That is not general.
The day arrives finally, Baoyu has prepared to propose to Daiyu. In his face, there is a piece of sunshine that nothing can hide. He could propose earlier but he is waiting his girl be into him so much. He won’t propose until he is 100% sure he could catch her heart by one shot. In the big yard, he is asking Daiyu to be his wife with a bouquet of jasmine that because is the first impression Daiyu gives to him. Unexpectedly, Hua dosen’t say “yes”, she says “Do you know what you forget to say to me, that’s so important for a woman, it is like an oath for a woman.” It dosen’t ring bell for Baoyu. “Can you give me a hint?” “yeah, three words, eight letters, say it and I am yours.”says Daiyu. “oh, now I get it, I love you, my silly girl.” “I would say yes for all your question. I do! my dear.”
Now, we all can I image what is the ending, they two will live happily ever after like all the fairy tale.        

Glee-The first Slushy facial (Sapphires Blog)

The chairs were positioned in an untidy mess around the classroom and the only sound that could be heard was the scrape of her chair across the hard floor as she prepared to leave the now vacant room. Carefully picking her bag up from the floor she came across the familiar sight-parts of Puck’s maths book, torn into pieces and scrunched up into little tiny balls of paper and saliva. Some pieces of Pucks creation now sticking to the back of her chair and the loose strands of her hair.

Walking towards the door she stared into the small glass window that covered one third of the door and stared at her reflection. Great. Upon closer inspection she saw that not only did Puck ruin her hair with his onslaught of spit balls, Santana had managed to tie two pens to the end of her hair creating a knot the size of her thumb. She looked at her watch to check the time.

It is 12:15...Oh no! The Glee team is practicing their new number next, how am I going to impress Finn with hair like this?’I only have five minutes to get to the library print out Mr Schuster’s sheet music, run to the music room, set up the chairs and…! Argh I’m running out of time. I’d better run!

[Girl runs down the hall and prints out sheet music, she then turns to run out the door and collides with an older lady-Sue Sylvester ]

‘Hey! New girl watch where you’re going!’

‘I’m so sorry I was just running to the music room to give Mr Schust…’

[Lady takes paper from new girl and scans over the page]

'Your giving Will Schuster sheet music for sectionals? How exactly are you going to become popular running errands for Mr Schu and his band of no talent wannabe freaks that spend their weekends singing to deaf people in retirement homes?

'Who are you anyway?'

'None of that is important to you, I'm tired of your voice. Get out of my face.'

'Don't talk to me like that you whinny cross dresser.'

'HEY. Show some respect girl. I can make the next five years of your life a misery, not that you don't look like a mess already.

[Girl stares at the ground embarrassed.]

Aren't you tired of people treating you like your invisible? Don't you want to know what its like to walk down the halls and have people move aside for you? Give up their lunch money for you? Maybe even become Prom Queen?'

'Well that's a stupid question, doesn't everybody?'

'Well I'll take that as a yes. My names Sue Sylvester young one and I like your attitude. Be at my office at 1 o clock this afternoon. You have an interview for the Cheerios.'

'I just called you a whinny cross dresser and you like my attitude?'

'Well shows me that you have some sort of attitude. There is still hope for you...uhmmm'

'Quinn, my names Quinn. So you want me to try out for the Cheerios?'

'Yes of course the Cheerios. Anybody in this school would dream to be in your position right now. Impress me and I can get you into one of those iconic uniforms straight away. You'll be one of the most popular girls in school.'

'Popular, huh?'

'That's right Quinn, now don't be late. I don't tolerate tardiness. By the way, if you want to become one of us you'd better throw that sheet music away and show some loyalty to the cheerios.'

[Sue walks away abruptly and leaves Quinn standing in the doorway with the sheet music. Quinn stands still and thinks about Sues proposal.]

What to do? If I give Mr Schuster this music I'll be a Gleek for the rest of my high school life. BUT if I become a Cheerio maybe people will start showing me some respect around here...this decision is so easy..

[Quinn drops the sheet music on the floor and exits hall. It is now 1 o clock.]

[Quinn enters Sues office and sits on a chair facing Sue Sylvester and her desk.]

'So what do I have to become a Cheerio anyway?'

'Well Quinn I am a firm believer in loyalty. Why don't you try harassing one of those Glee kids.

'The Glee's? What have they ever done to you?'

'Nothing. But I can't stand Will Schuster. His little Glee club is a threat to the Cheerios budget. I don't care what you do. Just choose a kid and do what you must. Get creative.'

[Bell rings for lunch]

'Well off you go Quinn. You have till the end of the day to prove to me that you are worthy of the Cheerios'

[Quinn slides out of the chair and walks out of Sues office. As she walks towards the canteen she thinks about what she is going to do to become a Cheerio, on the way she stops and buys a strawberry flavoured slushy.]

'Hey Quinn! Hows your first day going?'

Oh great it's that annoying girl that wears her grandmothers clothes to school..

'Hey Rachel. I was just enjoying walking to the canteen by myself'

'Well if you don't mind I would just like to ask you a question.'

[Rachel and Quinn continue walking to the canteen.]

'Okay go for it.'

'So where were you today? Mr Schu was waiting for you to bring the sheet music and I know that you're new and stuff but we really needed that music for the Glee team. That sheet music is detrimental to my success as the lead in the Glee club and I'd really appreciate it if you didn't screw up my chances. So here's a map..'

[Rachel gives Quinn a map of the school as they enter the canteen]

'Why are you giving me this?'

'So that you don't get lost next time and we can avoid me reminding you to remain on time.'

[Quinn looks at Rachel with a smirk on her face]

'Well you know what I think of your map Rachel?'

'Whats that new girl?'

[Quinn grabs her slushy and throws it at Rachel's face in front of the school that are already sitting down eating their lunch. Many of the students turn around to see Rachel covered in strawberry slushy, they begin to point and laugh.]

'I can't believe you just did that! Whats wrong with you?'

'Well, the Glee club is for geeks and I'd rather be one of the popular ones if you don't mind.'

[Puck and Finn motion for Quinn to sit at their table. She leaves Rachel who is staring at her in disbelief and sits with Puck, Finn and Santana.]

'Hey new girl I'm Finn'

'Hey I'm Quinn.'

'Nice to meet you Quinn. That was pretty funny embarrassing Rachel in front of everybody like that. Sure did make me laugh. We need to do that to those nerds more often.'

'Well she was getting on my nerves a bit. Hmm I think I'll call that one a slushy facial.'

[Group laughs.]

'I like how you think Quinn'

'Me too'

[Quinn continues eating lunch with Puck, Finn and some of the Cheerios. The scene cuts to Quinn walking into Sue Sylvester's office at the end of the day.]

'So Sue, how did I do?'

'You made me very proud today Quinn. Welcome to the Cheerios. Here's your uniform'

[Quinn smiles. Scene ends.]
