Chapter 2:
SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO POST THIS CHAPTER!
Thank you to all of you who reviewed! Sorry about the mistakes and the OOCness in the other chapter. I'll try to fix it. Also, Dani, thanks for the suggestion, but I think I might keep this PuckxSabrina only! Sorry! ;) And don't give me any credit for the name Arthenis, in the 5th book, Puck says something about "Arthenis the World Smasher" owing him 1 million dollars.

PSOV:
I couldn't believe it.
Jonas, Jack, and Arthenis were standing in the living room, grinning at me. Surely it couldn't be them. But it was them. Their familiar unclean clothes, much like my own, the cheeky grins - they were still exactly the same.
The old lady seemed to realize that things were about to get real awkward.
"Maybe you boys should go upstairs. You can sleep in Puck's room. Remember to come down for morning tea!" she said brightly, "Puck, take them to your room".
I went upstairs slowly, the others following me. I could hear Sabrina's beautiful –I mean horrible- voice muttering something to Daphne.
We finally got to my room, and as I opened the door I could see the amazement on their faces.
"Wow" said Jack.
I shrugged.
"The old lady adores me, so she gives me practically anything I want" I said simply.
JPOV:
As the other three bombarded Puck with questions, especially Mustardseed, I stared at him.
I still couldn't get over how different he was.
A real sword now replaced his wooden one, his arms were packed with muscle, and his skin was developing a tan.
I then heard Arthenis say, "So, Puck, what do you think of Sabrina?"
Mustardseed gave Arthenis a puzzled look. Then he grinned and nodded to show that he understood.
Puck seemed to be at a loss for words. "Err, well, she's annoying, ugly, dumb, err… weird…" he looked up and tried to think of more insults.
Then suddenly he said; "But, she's better than Moth".
I jumped. Surely he had not just said that! "Oh really, Puck," I said, "I remember you saying thatall girls were the same."
Puck went completely red. Mustardseed snorted.
"Err… um… well… What I meant was that… as far as girls go, she's better" he stuttered unsurely.
"Oh yeah? How?" I asked.
"Well… the first day I met Moth, she nearly wet herself because a fly landed near her. The first day I met Sabrina, she killed a giant all by herself".
It was easy to hear the admiration in his voice.
Puck saw me smirking at him. "What?" he asked perplexed.
"Nothing" I replied smugly. This was actually hilarious.
Puck frowned. "Do you want to see the rollercoaster?"
OoOoO
SPOV:
I didn't like this. One Puck was enough, but now four of them? This was just ridiculous! It was easy to see that they we're all the same as him. Oh Well, I thought, at least Mustardseed was nice.
I paced back and forth in my room.
I was bored out of my wits. I held my sword and fought an imaginary opponent. After years of training, my skill level had come to the same level as Ms Whites, and Puck's.
It was stupid, but I kind of wanted the war to still be around. And, then, I didn't. Puck and I had fought so much for victory, and we got it. It had been worth it.
I lay on my bed, got my ipod and put on one of my most favorite songs – Long Live, by Taylor Swift. I lay back and let the lyrics dance around in my brain…
I still remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
I shivered. I could still remember the huge crowds of goblins, ogres , and the other Scarlet Hand members standing before us, waiting to fight… to kill…. We were the kings and the queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives
Would never be the same
Puck sure hadn't dance that day, but he had fought, he had fought like I had never seen him before, he had known they needed to win. You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age
Puck was always saying how he wasn't a hero, but I know that deep down, he is one of the greatest heroes in the world - not that I'd ever tell him of course. Long live the walls we crashed through
While the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered
All that work, all that effort, it had all been worth it in the end. I know that we'll be remembered by everafters forever. I said, remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
Wishing for right now
So long we had been waiting for our happily ever after…. We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
Puck was a king, yet, he didn't really act like that – he wasn't as stuck up as Titania and Oberon. I had nearly cried when the war was over – with happiness of course. My trophy now sat on a shelf in my room. And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, this is absurd
'Cause for a moment a band of thieves
In ripped-up jeans got to rule the world
Mirror was horrified when we won, who would have thought we could win? Long live the walls we crashed through
While the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid
Puck and I had fought together, won together and celebrated together. Puck and I.No, I wasn't afraid. Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming, long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered
Okay, this was a little scary. But, it was true. We had fought dragons. And, it was the most fun thing I had ever done in my entire life. Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break or fall
I hoped Puck would always stay his, crazy, weird way. He had better always remember her and the memories they'd shared. And you take a moment
Promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children someday
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you
Long, long live the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
And I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid
Singing, long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
And long, long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered
The song ended, and I turned off my Ipod. It was kind of creepy how there had been so many coincidences, but it had taken a lot off my mind.
I walked through the hallway, humming the tune of Long Live to myself, when I bumped into Puck and his friends.
Seeing as I was in a good mood, I decided to say hi to them.
"Hey guys! What's up?" I said brightly. For some strange reason, Puck went red and his friends were grinning at him in an odd sort of way.
I shrugged, and continued on my way.
PPOV:
Why was I blushing? It was just making the whole situation even worse! As Grimm left, Arthenis, Jack and Mustardseed were almost about to crack up laughing. Jonas just smirked in his annoying way.
You see, they were under the misguided illusion that I was in love with Grimm. Gross.
They hadn't actually said anything in particular, but it was obvious anyway.
I gritted my teeth. It was going to be a long day.
DPOV:
"Did you see the way Mustardseed was staring at you?" Red asked excitedly.
"He wasn't really staring at me…" I said, trailing off. Mustardseed was kind of hot.
Red rolled her eyes. "He was staring at you like Puck stares at Sabrina!"
"He was not! He was just…"
Just then Puck, his friends, and MUSTARDSEED came through the door.
I prayed to God that he hadn't heard.
Puck looked kind of odd and his face was completely red. He said something inaudible and went out the door, leaving me, Red, Puck's friends and Mustardseed.
Puck's friends were giving each other weird looks, and it was obvious that they wanted to say something.
Finally, Mustardseed spoke up.
"Err… this is a kind of awkward question… but… does Puck have a crush on Sabrina?" he blurted.
Red and I grinned. We were experts on Puckabrina.
I was about to say something, but Red interrupted me.
"Oh you bet he does! Have you seen the way he stares at her? And he always pranks her! Only her! And…"
I smiled. Red was usually rather quiet, but when it came to Puckabrina, shutting her up was the problem!
"Yeah, we've been trying to get them together for ages! It hasn't worked though" I said.
"Maybe we can help" said Jack.
I stared at them. "I thought you'd hate the whole idea! Aren't you like anti-love and all for hate?"
Jonas shrugged. "Yeah, I guess, but, it'd be pretty funny".
Mustardseed and Arthenis grinned and nodded in agreement.
"What do you think we should do?" asked Red.
"Maybe we should just ask him straight – 'Are you in love with Sabrina?'" said Jack.
"We've tried that, he just says no and goes on about how dumb Sabrina is" I said.
Jonas smiled. "I have feeling that we'll get a different result if we ask him".
PPOV:
Should I go back? The thought bounced around in my head.
I knew they were talking about me. And Sabrina. They had to be.
Why were they doing this to me? Why was Jonas doing this to me?
I know that his name is Jonas the Betrayer, but still, how could he betray me like this? I've known him for years! He should know that I'd never fall in love with a girl. Even one as pretty as Sabrina…
Sabrina? Pretty? How could I think that?
I groaned. All these questions inside my own head – why did my friends have to come? It was all their fault.
A sudden desperate thought hit me. Maybe they didn't think I had a crush in Sabrina! Maybe they were just laughing at how stupid Grimm was, maybe…
I decided to go into the lounge where the others were. Hopefully it was the right decision…
I took a deep breath and walked in. As I stepped into the room, Marshmallow, Red and Mustardseed grinned at me, and the others were smirking at me. Typical.
Something passed between Marshmallow and Jonas. Jonas grinned.
"So, Puck," he said, "we were just wondering, do you have a crush on Sabrina?"
I immediately felt the heat rush to my cheeks.
Do you like it? Please review! I know I've kept you waiting!
Did you like the songfic? I know that a few of you don't like them, but I just had to have that song!
Is the whole thing a little cheesy? I have a feeling that it kind of is….. REVIEW!
