First Kiss
Daphne sighed. Love had come to nearly everyone in her family, yet she was still left out. She had had several boyfriends, but they never got to the kissing stage. She usually dumped them as soon as she found out that they were too ordinary. And now, she began to wonder if she would ever find the person who would "complete her", as Sabrina had put it after she had decided to marry Puck over Bradly. And now, at the Grimm family reunion (Not that the family was big enough that they really needed a reunion. Veronica had simply wanted the whole family gathered together again, and since it was techinically a reunion, that's what she called it.), Daphne just saw her own loneliness more than ever.
She looked over to Puck and Sabrina again. Sabrina was chasing her husband and younger daughter, Emma. It was no doubt that they were happy, forever frozen at 25 and caring for two difficult girls.
Daphne glanced at her mother and father. They had given up aging at about 40, and were as in love as ever. Right now they were feeding each other cake, laughing at their older daughter's unruly family.
Daphne turned her head to her little brother, Basil. No matter how much he had always swore he would be a bacholor forever, he was laughing with Red. Who had known love would blossom between those two. Canis certainly hadn't. He was still shell shocked frrom when the couple had announced they were together. Right now he was frowning at the two, as if he still couldn't believe it. Daphne grinned. Canis was a good father for Red.
Daphne blinked, then turned her head to Uncle Jake. He had never found a second love after Briar, but he had become a happy, light hearted uncle for Alison and Emma, even if he was techincally their geat-uncle.
Daphne looked around at her small family. Someone was missing, but she couldn't put her finger on who it was. Something bumped into her.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be standing here." She turned, smiling.
"No, I'm sorry. The offense was mine." A tall, handsome young man aplogized. He blinked. "Daphne?"
"Yeah?" She looked at him, confused. How had he known her name?
"It's me! Wow, the last time I saw you was at Sabrina's second wedding." The man grabbed her hand and squeezed.
Daphne squinted at him. She thought hard. It came to her. "Pinocchino!" She exclaimed, squeezing his hand back. "Geez, I didn't recognize you. What happened since then? Weren't you done growing at that point?"
"It seems I wasn't done growing, even at time. I never did get why Puck was so mad about growing up until I expirienced it for myself. He must love Sabrina alot." Pinocchino joked.
Daphne laughed. "Come on, Mom probably would like to see you. She wanted her reunion to be a complete success, and so everyone had to show up."
"I know. Puck called me a couple of times to remind me. Seems Veronica threatened him that if I didn't show up, she would want to know how he had pranked me, and whack him with some heavy kitchen appliance. He seemed quite desperate."
Daphne laughed again and led him to her mother.

"So, I guess it's time for me to leave." Pinocchino sighed. Daphne sighed with him. It was one in the morning, and the party was not ready to start winding down.
"Do you have to?" She asked, and immediatly regrettedd the question. She sounded like such a little kid.
"Not really. I just wanted to hear you ask." He grinned.
Daphne mock gasped. "How utterly rude!" She teased.
"Isn't it though? Do you think there's anymore of your rosepetal cookies?"
"You like those? Almost no one likes them. Well, except Puck." Daphne asked, surprised.
"I got used to Granny's cooking. Those cookies were the best food that she ever made, excluding the black spagetti, of course."
"I remember you loved that! Once you ate so much that you were sick for three days afterwards!" Daphne giggled.
"Nice to be remembered for my heroic moments." Pinocchino joked.
"Only the best of them." Daphne teased.

"Okay, this time, I do have to leave." Pinocchino sighed.
Daphne sighed with him. "See you soon?" She offered.
"Soon." Pinocchino savored the word. He smiled. "Soon." He agreed.
Daphne smiled back.
"Just one thing before I go." Pinocchino leaned down and gave her a quick ppeck on the lips. "Soon." He promised, turning to head back to his car.
Daphne watched his retreating figure. She reached her hand up to her lips, and touched the spot where their lips had made contact. Her first kiss. No way was that it.
"Wait!" She called, hurrying after him. Pinocchino turned.
Daphne grabbed his face and pulled him down. She kissed him, full on the lips.
"Now that's a first kiss." She whispered as they broke apart.

No one voted on my poll, so I just did the drabbles. Feel free to check out my profile! It has the poll, and you can still vote. I don't mind. I can try doing two stories at once.
So what did you think? I felt sorry for Daphne, all the romance goes to Puck and Sabrina, so I did the first chapter on her and Pinocchino. As a note, I do know that Basil was still a bacholer in the second epilogue of the ninth book. It just served my purposes that he would be dating.
Please review!
'Til next chapter!
