Sorry for taking so long to update ! Enjoy :3 !

Daphne POV;

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Granny popped in holding a plate of waffles with a side of pink bacon and black eggs. She placed them on the table next to me and sat down on my bed.

I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. She never sent me extra food, especially if I already had three servings.

I slowly grabbed the plate and started chowing down, forgetting about Granny sitting a few feet away from me.

I stopped eating and looked at her. "Why'd you decide to bring me more food?"

Granny Relda face tried to conceal a smile, "Can't a grandmother bring her granddaughter some food?"

"No."

She put her hands in the air, "Okay, you caught me. I need a teeny favor from you."

Aha! I knew there had to be a catch. People apparently can't offer you a boatload of food without something in return.

"I need you to attend a ball being hosted by William Charming. I suspect there are going to be members of the Scarlet Hand there and Mirror might have someone doing evil shenanigans."

I bit down on my palm. I get to go to a ball with a bunch of Everafters! What if Tinkerbelle was there? Or Cinderella?

"I'M IN!" I shouted excitedly.

"Great!" She hurriedly walked towards the door, "Mustardseediscomingwithyou."

She ran out the door before I could say anything or protest to her last comment.

"Get ready now!" she yelled through the door. "You're going in an hour!"

I sighed and finished my breakfast before grabbing a black bag. I pulled up a chair next to my mirror and sat down.

I might as well look good for this ball.

I fished a canister of mascara out of the black bag and started to apply it.

This isn't so hard .I thought that- Ow!

I accidentally stabbed the mascara into my eyeball.

"Granny!" I yelled.

No response.

I ran into the living but thudded into something. That something was Mustardseed.

I blushed and muttered, "Sorry."

He smirked, "That's okay. What happened to your eye?"

He leaned in close and examined my eye with his eyebrows furrowed in concern. Mustardseed brought his hand up to the area beside my injured eye while I tried to form a coherent response.

"I, um, stabbed it."

"With what?" I could hear the amusement in his voice.

My face started heating up, "Mascara."

A dry smile formed on his mouth, "I see."

Magic started to surge through my eye and MSeed extracted his hand. He casually moved over to the couch and lay down.

I started to leave but his voice interrupted.

"Daphne."

"Yeah?" I said, turning to face him.

"Don't use any makeup."

"W-why not?"

"Besides the fact that they test it on animals, you don't need any to look good," he said casually.

I looked at him, bewildered at the fact that he had just complimented me.

"T-thanks," I murmured, avoiding making any eye contact.

I went back to my room and started digging through my wardrobe.

I picked out one of the only dresses in my wardrobe and examined it. It was a simple, strapless, deep blue dress that was tight in all the right places. The dress reached mid-thigh and had a lighter blue sash tied around the middle. I picked a fair of matching earrings shaped like teardrops.

I retraced my steps back into the living room to see if Mustardseed was ready.

I almost fainted from the sight in front of me. He was relaxing with his arms crossed and his head was laid back on the couch. My gaze lowered. He was wearing regular tuxedo pants and a black button down with a blue tie that matched the shade of my dress.

He opened his eyes and turned his head towards me while I was ogling. "You ready?"

I peeled my eyes away from him, "Yeah."

Mustardseed's gaze lingered on me for a minute before he got up. I followed him out the door and we walked away from the house.

"Are you okay with flying there?"

I nodded before his wings popped out. Unlike the pink color that Puck's wings adorned, Mustardseed's were a light blue color with flecks of green near the outside.

He slipped his arm around my waist before taking off. A feeling of déjà vu suddenly crept up on me.

Isn't this how Puck and Sabrina went places?

I shook that thought away and peered to see where we were. We still had a long way to go, so I started thinking about the age paradox I had been thinking about earlier. I continued thinking about it until we reached Charming's Palace.

As we landed on the ground next to the entrance, Mustardseed removed his arm from my waist and grabbed my hand.

Relax, he's just holding your hand because you guys are supposed to be under cover.

He kept my hand in his grasp as we entered.

Sorry if this chapter's too short, I'm trying to build up the length.

REVIEW!
