Mistletoe

Sabrina awoke and turned over to her nightstand. The clock read, 6:00. She felt like getting up now and waking up everyone for breakfast but everyone was still sleeping. Then she realized something. Her sister's usual snores were gone.

"Good morn-," Sabrina stopped midsentence as she rolled over. She was shocked to see the bed empty. "Great Daphne's probably waking up the whole neighborhood."

She sat up and put on the slippers she kept at the end of the bed. She left her room and headed to the bathroom with a towel and brush in hand. She stopped when she heard talking coming from Puck's room. 'Probably talking to his chimp minions' Sabrina thought to herself. She was about to take another step when she heard Daphne's voice. Feeling the slightest bit of curiosity she leaned into the door and opened it a crack so she could she. She saw their heads from the other side of the hill. She couldn't tell what they were doing. Her addiction gave her a tingle and she had a feeling it had something to do with magic.

Then she heard Daphne talk, "Are you sure it's going to work."

And Puck. "Relax Marshmallow. When the Trickster King says he'll do something he does. And the look on Grimm's face will be worth all the waiting." She could hear Daphne make one of squeals. She didn't have to see to know where her palm would be right now.

Then it hit her. Was her sister really plotting against her with a prank? Sure they were fighting, but to go this low? To ask Puck for assistance? She was confused and slightly irritated. Christmas was tomorrow and no way was she going to let her guard down for even a second. He would not ruin her first Christmas with her parents. Before she could do anything else she heard a voice boom behind her.

"Sabrina Grimm!" She turned and found her father looking down at her. He looked as if he would explode with rage. "Care to explain yourself?" She was at a loss for words.

"Um…Uh…It" Sabrina fumbled over word after word. What was she supposed to say, 'Sorry I heard voices'? But she never did get anything out before being interrupted by her father again.

"Go back to your room!" He took a deep breath and seemed like he was trying to calm himself. "Now." He finished.

She reluctantly went back to her room and placed her brush on her father's old desk and the towel over the chair. She looked at her clock again and it read 6:38. 'I guess my shower can wait until eight.' And with that she crawled back into bed and fell back asleep.

She woke again to Daphne franticly shaking her awake. "Come on, come on, and come on!" Daphne was practically screaming in her face. "We're going to be late. Everyone is already downstairs."

Sabrina figured she didn't want to miss this so she got up and walked over to her closet. As she shuffled through clothes she told a jittering Daphne, "I'll be right down. Don't start without me!" She could have sworn she heard her sister say 'We'll try' as she rocketed down the steps.

It has always been a tradition in the Grimm household that on Christmas Eve that you were to pick one present and open it. They had all decided last night they were to do it at breakfast. After a quick shower, brushing her hair, and changing out of pajamas, she made her way downstairs. When she got down the steps she could smell the exotic smells of Granny's cooking. Though, after another sniff she realized everything smelled normal. This made her extra happy.

As she passed the table she saw pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, orange juice, milk, and some fruit. Although the fruit was on the other side from Puck, no wonder.

"Good morning sweetie." Her mother said as Sabrina took a seat next to Daphne.

"Good morning mom." She tried her best not to make eye contact with Henry fearing he was still angry.

"Yeah, good morning 'sweetie'" Puck said in a mocking tone. She could feel her face growing hot. "It's about time you got up, me and marshmallow here almost ate all the food."

"Yeah," she replied. "I could tell. She picked up two waffles and some sausage links. She grabbed the syrup and was saddened to find it was a purple-ish shade. 'All good things must come to an end' she though. Many times during the meal she had to push Elvis off of her so he wouldn't get any sausages. Finally when everyone had had their share of food Granny Relda came out of the kitchen looking exhausted.

She picked up a green/blue banana and announced, "I think it's time we start." With that everyone spilled into the living room. After about 20 minutes of picking, unwrapping, and the occasional half-hearted 'Thanks', Sabrina was the only one left. She looked around the room to see what everyone had gotten.

Uncle Jake had gotten a scrapbook from Granny Relda. In it were pictures of him and Briar before she died. Henry had gotten a homemade mug from Sabrina and Daphne with the words #1 dad on it. Veronica got a ring from Henry while Puck surprisingly didn't making any barfing noises. Granny Relda got a necklace with a big sunflower from Red. Red and Daphne got the same gift. Two dresses with tiaras and shoes. And finally Puck had gotten a shirt from Sabrina with a crocodile eating a human leg.

"I remembered how much you hated the happy alligator shirt so I got this." Sabrina explained.

Granny cut it. "Well, liebling it looks like it's your turn." She looked around and examined each one.

Finally her mother spoke, "Sabrina if you want I have a gift that I would really appreciate you opening." Sabrina knew she couldn't deny those eyes.

"M'kay" she replied. She took the small blue box and removed the red ribbon. She lifted the lid and almost gasped. It was the most beautiful pair of earrings she had ever seen. They were silver at the base and what looked like tiny things of mistletoe swung from them. She looked up at her mother and smiled brightly. "Thanks Mom!"

"No problem," she replied.

She put them on and admired them in the mirror for a while. When she was done she found the adults in the kitchen talking around some champagne. Daphne and Red must have been upstairs because they only person in the living room was Puck who was channel surfing. She sat next to him and began to feel around the earrings. After sometime of silence she heard someone creak on the stairs but no one was there. She felt her left earring, then her right. She stopped. Something was missing. She almost took it off when she heard a voice.

"Well, would you look at that?" Puck spoke. She turned and saw him looking up at the ceiling. He had a slight smirk and then realized what was missing on her earring. She turned and saw Daphne and Red having a giggling fit on the stairs. Daphne had a wand in her hand.

Puck leaned in, slowly closing his eyes. Sabrina realized why they were talking in his room. They did all this for her. Right before their lips met she heard him whisper in her ear. "Merry Christmas Grimm"

And on the ceiling right above the couch was a sprig of mistletoe.
