Stella arrived the following Saturday at twelve o'clock sharp. She was toting a warm casserole dish full of gluten free lasagna and a bowl of mixed green salad. Maggie had discovered later in life that gluten had been the cause of her adult acne for more years than she cared to count. Food allergies were yet another thing Maggie and Stella had in common which further strengthened their bond.

Over lunch Maggie told Stella she had been preoccupied the whole week and she had a confession. "When I was a young girl I only had eyes for Davy Jones. I always thought they were all cute and funny, but…." she trailed off.

"Don't leave me hanging like that, BUT what?" Stella demanded.

"Don't laugh, but I think I Peter Tork may be my new favorite Monkee! I can't believe I never noticed him before like I have now". Maggie went on to explain her Peter epiphany. It had kind of snuck up on her all of a sudden like she'd been hit over the head like a cartoon character getting hit on the head by an anvil.

She loved how his face transformed and practically radiated sunshine when he smiled that dimpled smile. That right dimple was simply too much! She thought the way he dipped his head forward then flipped his hair back to get his bangs out of his eyes was simply too cute.

She found it incredibly sexy when Peter stuck his tongue between his lips just a little while he concentrated playing bass or keyboards. But not as nearly as sexy as the way he swung his hips back and forth, shaking his butt in musical numbers such as "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" from "The Spy Who Came in From the Cool" or how he rocked back and forth playing bass in the tree in the faster organ enhanced groovier version of "I Wanna Be Free" from the pilot episode. And she just wanted to reach out through the TV screen and squeeze his luscious rounded derriere which delightfully filled out those gray band pants!

Stella didn't seem as surprised by Maggie's revelation as Maggie had thought she would. In fact Stella said "I noticed those things myself, but I don't think I am ready to put Peter as my number one and Davy as my number two just yet". Stella was serious when she said Davy Jones was her very first love. Steadfast and loyal. That was Stella.

They finished lunch and poured some wine. Maggie qued up "One Man Shy a/k/a Peter and the Debutante" which was the first episode on Disc 3.

While watching the episode, Maggie was moved by the way Peter lovingly gazed at Valerie Cartwright's portrait and smiled so sweetly and innocently. She also noticed for the first time the mole on his upper lip. Her heart actually hurt when Peter confessed to Valerie that he took her portrait because it must have taken so much out of him to say that out loud to her. Maggie sighed a breath of relief and relaxed when Valerie told Peter he could return the portrait at the party.

She just about melted when Peter and Valerie kissed at the end of "I'm A Believer." She thought to herself, for somebody who was so shy and awkward, it looked like Peter was no slouch in the kissing department. Too bad the kissing scene was too short! She liked the way Peter stuck up for himself and told Valerie "You decide" between Ronnie and himself just before the "You Just May Be the One" romp. He was assertive, but not arrogant. Assertiveness was an attractive quality. Arrogance was a huge turn off.

After they finished watching the episode, Maggie and Stella looked at each other and both said in exaggerated unison: "BIG PETER?" Micky had called Peter "Big Peter" twice: once when Peter was sitting on the steps staring at Valerie's portrait and again when they were playing "Spin the Bottle"

Stella said rather breathlessly "You know when a guy's friends call him that it means he's sporting the largest package of them all and they bestow that nickname as a badge of honor." Maggie made an ummmmm hmmmm sound as she drifted off into a little daydream pondering the implications of Big Peter. Stella snapped her fingers in front of Maggie to snap her back to reality.

Maggie had too many thoughts racing around in her head and she was trying to process them all at once. Finally she sighed. "Poor Peter. If he took his one crush to a cub scout meeting, received threatening Valentines and can't talk to girls, then he probably had no experience with girls before Valerie."

Stella responded, "Well it looks like Valerie telling him she liked him just the way he is was enough to give him some much needed confidence. Peter was then able to beat that pompous ass Ronnie at boxing, arm wrestling and hopscotch and win Valerie's affection" The idea of beating another guy at hopscotch made them both giggle. It was such a Peter thing to do though.

"We never saw Valerie again in any other episode. Even at the end of this one there is no Valerie. Peter is playing "Spin the Bottle", with four other girls. He has turned into a "wolf in sheep's clothing" according to Mike. I'd hate to think the confidence he gained with Valerie would turn him from a sweet, sensitive guy to one of those annoying butt munches who thinks he's God's gift to the women. I hate the mega macho type. If he's really that BIG, it would be a crying shame for him to turn into one of those guys" Maggie said.

Stella considered another angle. "Do you think Peter was still a virgin? Maybe things didn't go well with Valerie after all is why she wasn't seen again? Maybe he doesn't know what to do with that "blessed gift" of his after all. Maybe he scared her off?" Stella questioned.

Maggie reverted back to her little daydream again. Finally she surfaced without Stella having to snap her fingers this time. She said "If only I had a time machine I would go back and tutor Peter how to make love to satisfy a woman and be a generous and patient lover. Just because a guy has a huge cock doesn't mean he knows how to fully use it except maybe for his own gratification. Peter has so much potential! He's shy, sweet and naturally sexy. I'd hate for him to become one of those guy's who cops a total asshole entitlement attitude just because he has a large penis."

Stella replied, "If only we had a time machine you could go have your way with Peter and I would have my way with Davy!"

Maggie laughed at Stella's wishful thinking. Never for a moment did it cross her mind that Stella's wishful thinking could ever be more than a mere fantasy.
