"Don't ever let me go!"
"I won't, baby."
"Granny, do we have to watch these old romance movies?" asked Daphne, disgust in her voice.
"You don't like them?" asked Granny Relda, obviously hurt. "I used to watch these all the time when I was a youngster like you."
"Why can't we do something fun?" asked Sabrina, tearing her eyes away from the small TV screen. "I mean, I know Puck is kind of a party crasher and everything, but isn't there something we can do? I'm bored."
"Ooh! Ooh! Let's go rollerblading!" exclaimed Daphne, jumping up and down the the couch so hard some stuffing came out of the seams and spilled onto the floor like snow.
"Rollerblading?" asked Sabrina. She thought about that. She hadn't gone rollerblading in a long time…way before her parents had been put under the sleeping spell, if that. She couldn't even remember if she knew how to.
"I don't know, lieblings," said Granny Relda. "I'm not as young as I used to be. I don't think frail old me could rollerblade even if I wanted to."
"You could bring Mr. Canis!" squealed Daphne. "Then you could have someone to talk to!"
Sabrina rolled her eyes. Daphne always had way too much energy. She could probably power up all of Fairyport Landing single-handedly.
"Puck would have to come," said Granny Relda, almost as if she was trying to persuade Daphne to drop the subject.
Personally, Sabrina had perked up on the inside when her sister had mentioned rollerblading. However, she did not want Puck to come. No way. She would probably be ordering nachos or something and then he would float an air biscuit right behind her and go, "Sabrina!" real loud. She had learned that the hard way.
Puck had left around thirty minutes ago when the third romance movie started. He ran to the nearest bathroom, slammed the door, and made puking sounds, even though Everafters never get sick. All Granny Relda and the girls could do was try to concentrate on the corny lines in the movie. The world could be ending and Puck would still be there to make the Grimm's' life horrible.
"Please," begged Daphne. "Please please please please please with syrup on top?"
"Fine," huffed Granny Relda. Sabrina had a feeling that she was only agreeing to get Daphne to stop bugging her. "But I think I will bring Mr. Canis, so we should head off as soon as possible to pick him up. Let me call him."
Granny Relda hurried off to the phone and started punching in numbers. Before long she started talking.
Sabrina turned to her sister. "What have you gotten us into?" she said, though she was pleased to be going somewhere on the inside.
"Rollerblading," yelled Daphne, jumping to her feet. "This is going to be so much fun!"
"Easy for you to say," said Sabrina as Puck slid down the banister, a wicked smile resting on his lips.
