*Sabrina's POV*
My days just keep getting weirder and weirder. Yesterday, my family took on a case about Ichabod Crane's stolen underpants. Today, we met Snow and Charming, and Emma and Henry...but they claim to be, quite literally, out of this world. I stared at Snow and Charming intently, trying to figure out if it was really them. An outsider of Ferryport Landing might be more than just skeptic of these four potential dimension-travelers; they'd think that they were crazy, or they were the victim of a bad, unfunny prank.
To my surprise, the royal couple actually did look a bit different. Snow's hair was in a simple pixie cut, with the bangs swept to the side. She was also dressed in a small pink sweater, a polka-dot scarf, a matching pink beanie, and lightwash skinny jeans...an outfit I'd never seen before. But anyone can get a haircut and wear new clothes, right?
Then I noticed something about Charming that was indeed peculiar. Usually when we (as in the Grimm family) saw him, he would make more than one remark about bulldozing our house or about how "us Grimms" are like rats; we keep multiplying and we're hard to get rid of. Both of those parts are true. My mother just gave birth to my baby brother, Basil, and we sure as hell aren't easy to be rid of. Anyways, we got none of the usual mean comments from the prince as we normally did. Instead, he had acted politely, which included not saying "Get off of my, you nuisance!" when Daphne hugged him. Also, Charming's physical appearance was quite different then what was the norm, which was a dashing suit, tailored to fit, his ever-present attempt at a fake smile, which actually looked like a constipated grimace, and his confident posture and look, were all gone, replaced by plainer clothes, a genuine smile, and a more humble sort of air around him. I decided that Charming and Snow were not Charming and Snow, or at least not the ones we knew.
I think everyone else concluded the same as a result of a similar mental investigation (us Grimms tend to mentally investigate things. It's what we do.), because we all nodded at the same time, before Granny said, seriously, why doesn't everyone come over to our house to discuss this more? I've got lunch! At the word "lunch," Puck averted his attention from nursing his bruising stomach where I punched him to Granny. "Oooo, lunch?"
"Yes, Puck," I said. "Lunch. Lu-unch. Lunch."
He simply rolled his eyes and shot back. "Barf face."
"Stinkpot"
"Dogbreath"
"Peter Pan wannabe!"
He gasped, taken aback.
"How DARE you! Back in my kingdom, I'd have you beheaded!"
"Sabrina, what's beheaded mean?" Daphne asked, confused.
"It means getting your head chopped off."
"Children..." Granny warned us not to go overboard with the name calling. Last time someone mentioned Peter Pan to Puck, he blew off the top of the car, and nearly got us all killed.
"Uh, wait," Henry said. "You have a kingdom?"
"Of course I do!" Puck puffed up his chest as I rolled my eyes for the millionth time that day. "I'm the heir to to Faerie!"
"I don't know what that is, but cool!"
"So you mean to tell me, that this is Puck, from Shakespeare?" Other-worldly Snow asked. Puck nodded triumphantly once again. "I read about you in college! I wrote a paper about you!"
Jake and Mr. Canis were visibly impatient, obviously wanting to go home and eat. To their relief, Emma kindly accepted Granny Relda's invitation.
"Don't you want to see the portal as proof? Henry asked.
"No need, child. We believe you." Mr. Canis spoke in his usual low, grumbly voice. He opened the driver's door on the old jalopy for Granny, and he and Jake got in on their side.
"How do they share the passenger seat?" Charming wondered out loud
"There's magic in this car that makes the interior bigger with each passenger it accomodates, but the exterior stays the same size. It's great, cause no one ever has to fight for the passenger seat. It just grows to fit another butt. Now get in, because I'm starving!" Uncle Jake explained enthusiastically. Daphne, Puck, Red, Henry, and I hopped into the enormous backseat, while Charming, Snow, and Emma hesitantly followed.
