EDIT: I realized that I was a little post happy with the first couple chapters of this challenge. I've gone back and edited them to a place that I'm happy with. Enjoy!

AN: Wow. I think this is the first thing I've posted since 2009. That's quite a while. Whelp, I'm happy to be back! :)

So I'm bringing back an oldie! Cannibalistic Skittles' One Hundred-Word Challenge! I'm trying to get back into fanfiction, and thought this might be a good exercise to help me get back into the swing of things.

Little background: This challenge was proposed by Cannibalistic Skittles back on November 20th, 2008, making this challenge, as of this November, 5 years old! Wow! Sisters Grimm fanfiction has been going on for quite sometime! I'm so proud to be part of a fandom that has produced so many great stories! :D

My goal with this challenge is to get back into Sisters Grimm, have some fun, blow off of stress, to challenge myself as a writer, and to prepare myself for my upcoming story, It Keeps on Turning. What I'm really looking for is FEED BACK. Are my characters in character? What jokes worked, what didn't work. Was the flow on the story there? Was I creative enough? You know, stuff like that. This is going to be a bug experiment and I hope you guys have as much fun as I do along the way.

Whelp! That's enough talking from me! I promise that my author notes wont normally be this long. This is just the first chapter and I have a lot to say.

I actually chose the order of these words by writing them down on individual scraps of paper and drawing them out of a hat. Well, actually out of some ceramic pot. It took a while. Anyways! Here's the first word: Number 57 – Crush.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own nor profit from the Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley.

If anyone were to ask Daphne Grimm who her first crush was, she wouldn't tell. Partially, because it was embarrassing, and partially because he was going to be married to her sister. Eventually. After she gets over his most recent departure and gets over this new guy Bradley. They're not going anywhere. Oh come on, everyone knows it!

No, she didn't still have feelings for him. Hadn't thought of him in that way for 8 years to be exact. And why would she? After being thrust into the future and seeing the two happily married…well, they might have thought they could change their fate, but she – as well as every person in Ferryport Landing – knew the truth. They were destined to be stuck together.

So, when she realized that he'd never see her in that light, it was ok. After all, she had been 7. He was over 4000 years old stuck in a puberty-ridden body. It just wasn't meant to be.

Every little girl looks for her Prince Charming. He was magical. He was new. And when he cleaned himself up, he was fairly cute. Not to mentioned he'd rescued the girls' lives more times then she could count.

He was her hero.

Her knight in shinning armor.

Her friend.

And while she might not be in love with him anymore, she would always love him. He's part of her life, a memory that had become a part of her, even when he wasn't around to make new ones.

He was her first crush.

AN: Ok, slightly awkward, but hopefully a good start. Sorry it's so short! They'll be longer in the future. Please review and let me know what you guys think! See you tomorrow with the next word!

Buona Notte!
