Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait! I had a very dramarific time since the past two months and well... yeah.

Daphne: Not a very good excuse!

Well, at least I thought of the ending to this story! And yes, Daphne's Diary has a plot to it actually and I decided to stick with the OC idea.

Well enjoy!

June 9

I just came home this morning and now I'm grounded for a week because Puck ratted me out. Thanks beloved future brother-in-law. But I guess he's just being a good boyfriend and brother... Plus I had uncovered so many things last night that makes me want to tell you the real story.

Remember how I said that I exaggerated my meeting with Markus? Well I exaggerated like a lot. So it started like this:

After my little detailed trip to the park I saw Markus sleeping on a public bench in front of a bookstore with a Superman comic book on his face wearing the same outfit I said in the last post. I tiptoed towards him trying to make sure he wouldn't wake up even though there was a bunch of cars and people whooping, hollering and beeping. Although people stared at me like some creeper creeping on some random kid, it didn't stop me from sitting on the ground next to him staring at his comic book covered face.

Sometimes when I'm bored I wonder what Markus looked like when he's sad, tired, mad, sleepy, or... Genuinely happy. Holy schnizzles, big word. Anyways moving on, since I was curious on wondering what Markus looked like when he was sleeping... I did the most weirdest thing a true creeper would do: I tried to lift the comic book off of his face.

I know you're probably laughing your pink, sparkly, hard covered butt off, but I couldn't help it! My detective curiosity was killing me! Blame my impulsiveness that runs through my family! See how I care! Ugh! Great now you made me mad at you! But as a nice person I am, I'll continue with the story.

Carefully with sweat beads dripping off my forehead, I pried the book off of Markus's face and as soon as it was about to completely come off. His hand quickly snatched my arm and soon I found myself on the hard concrete floor with the ninja-like Markus pinning me down.

"Daphne..?" Markus blinked still using that surprised look he always uses with me.

I chuckled nervously as I winced in pain and spoke in a really crappy British accent, "Well how do you do good sir? Isn't it a bit early to do these kind of... Actions?"

I know this isn't the right time to be saying that but I couldn't help but joke around you know? I really don't like serious moments like these, makes me all nervous and sweaty. Now since Markus pinned me down on the hard concrete ground which pretty much means my head hurt a lot, and I think I have a concussion since I could barely see his really pretty, bright green eyes.

It's not like I have a crush on him or anything!

I just think that he has the most prettiest green eyes that I've ever seen alright?

So don't get any wrong ideas, ok?

Markus grabbed my hands and lifted me up, as he lifted me up the pounding in my head started to get worse. He looked at me with a worried expression and asked, "Are you ok? Does anything hurt?"

I shook my head no since I didn't want to worry him at all. All I pretty much wanted was to hang out with him even while my head pounded like crazy. Like I said, blame hormones. Anyways since I'm a crappy actress, Markus raised his eyebrow but instead of arguing with me he touched my forehead and soon.. The pain disappeared.

And even after all the things that had happened yesterday, I still wonder if he cured my really bad, icky, hard-to-forget headache.

He asked me again to double-sure if I was alright since he realized that I probably hit my head pretty hard because of him. This time I was truly ok and I told him not to worry about what he did to me.

Markus looking genuinely sorry, he puts his hand on my head and started rubbing it like I'm his little sister. Puck does that to me lots of times and messes up my hair a lot. But if it's Markus, I don't really mind. Markus smiled faintly, "I'm really sorry about what I did to you, to make it up, want to go with me somewhere?"

Wait...WHAT?

He wants to take me somewhere? Just because he ninja flipped me on the concrete floor? I mean I do mind on what he did to me but not that much since I'm the forgive and forget type of person. But he's treating me just to make it up... What a nice guy.

I blinked. Then twice. Then thrice. Then I replied, "Sure, where do you want to take me?"

And soon he grabbed my hand and we ran off to a place he wanted to take me. As we ran, all I noticed were his shaggy orange and brown hair and this weird tattoo in the back of his neck with a circle and a star in the middle without the star colored in. It was so weird. It kind of raised my fairy tale detective curiosity.

Soon we stopped and I had to steady myself so I could see better since we ran pretty fast. When I regained my eyesight I soon saw where we were at.

We were at a go-cart track.

I never knew Prince Charming would actually build a go-cart track.

And this is why he's my favorite.

To tell you the truth, I've never driven anything that has wheels in my whole entire life. Maybe it's because I'm good at driving magical things and not mechanical things. Markus clearly reading my mind and I suspect that he has psychic powers looked at me and grinned, "I can drive if you can't... Well if you want me to."

Without a hesitant pause I replied, "Thank you good sir! You have just saved someone's life and probably a billion of other people's lives too."

Markus laughed. A real, good-to-honest laugh. I mean I bet I've never heard him laugh all phony, but I can tell. Whenever he shows any emotions his eyes wouldn't show the emotion he's expressing. But just that moment when he laughed, his eyes sparkled and shined.

And even though I haven't known him that long, I had already knew all of these things about him. I bet you're thinking: stalker much, Daphne?

Probably.

And after Markus's real laugh, we headed towards the two-seated go-carts that have this #1 sign on the side which made me feel like we were actually number one. As soon as we buckled in to our car the sooner we started vrooming! And yes vrooming is a word. Look it up in my dictionary. Not in those dictionaries you'd find in your classroom. I meant MINE!

I think I just confused you but that's ok, you're supposed to be confused.

I think I just confused myself too.

I had a huge blast at that place even though I didn't know how to drive, or more like I couldn't drive. Then Markus grabbed my hand again and then we ran to this really unknown beach but I've seen it before a few years back when there were a bunch of time rips. Soon we stopped in the middle of the beach and then Markus sat down on the ground.

"Um what are we doing here?" I asked as I just stood there awkwardly.

Markus rubbed his head and pointed at the ocean, "Look at the ocean, what do you see?"

I stared at the sun setting over the ocean as it reflected its loud hues over the sea's cool ones. It kind of reminded me how two very different beings weren't supposed to be together but when they are, they would create many beautiful things. And this is why I should go to college and become a painting interpreter! I mean I can clearly read what each painting is supposed to say! Well this is my second job if I can't become an Everafter detective that fights for an Everafter's way of life. After that little thought, I now realize I'm getting off topic again. Double sad face.

After I thought of my answer I told Markus about the two different beings not being able to be with each other and once they were they created something beautiful. Markus looked at me for awhile and after the sun had set he breathed in and said, "That's what I think too."

So we just sat there in silence watching the waves roll by and smell the sea's breath. As you can see, I'm being pretty descriptive here because this is the most epic moment I ever had in my entire life, or one of my most unforgettable memories I'll ever have.

Soon I felt a raindrop, then another, and then thousands more. I looked up and I saw great dark clouds covering the sky and that is not a good thing. Markus grabbed my hand again and we ran across the sand and into a cave. Remember the punk-rock cave I accidentally told you about in my last post? Well this is it. The appearance of the cave isn't very punk-rock but the feel of it is. I feel like an Indian when I said "the feel of it is", it makes me feel all spiritual.

"I guess we'll have to stay here for the night since it looks like it won't stop pouring until tomorrow." Markus said as he looked at the sky. Wait stay here? What about my parents? And Markus is a guy, is he going to do icky things to me? I'm too young for this! HELP! I seriously wished I brought my coat of pockets with a bunch of potions and magical items with me!

Markus read my mind again and ran his hand through his hair, "Um... Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to you. I owe you for flipping you on the ground earlier."

I flinched. "So if you haven't flipped me on the ground, you'd do icky stuff to me?"

"Wait... No!" Markus sighed, "I said that wrong. I meant that I'd never do bad things to you because I'm a good guy."

I relaxed. So he's a nice guy, just hearing that made me feel better. Since we stayed there for awhile, we decided to get to know each other. Here are all the things I found out about the guy! Markus is fourteen years old, he had just moved to Ferryport Landing, he lives with his uncle, he's not an animal fan (that's a shame), he mostly hates roosters, he likes to sleep, and he's not a fan of fairy tales.

And right about then I fell asleep to the sound and warmth of the fire Markus had made earlier that night. That night I had a dreamless sleep, which was kind of weird since I usually would have these crazy dreams like Ferryport Landing being conquered by evil samurais or finding my long-lost older gangster brother.

Soon I was awakened by a huge crash in the cave. I immediately got up and I saw Puck with his wings popped out and looking unusually serious and he's fighting with... Markus?

"Why the hell is she with you?" Puck said as he had Markus up against the walls of the cave.

Markus uncharacteristically looked at Puck and smirked, "Is that really Puck? The Trickster King that would never grow up until the sun went out?"

Puck gritted his teeth, "Shut up, just tell me why she's here."

"I owed her for hurting her accidentally earlier, right Daphne?" Markus asked staring right at me. Even though he acted all evil and mean, I mean he actually looked really evil, I could tell by the look in his eyes he's putting up an act. He's trying to make it looked like he was about to manipulate (oh em gee! Woah! Big word!) me. But why though. Why would he want to make it look like he wanted to manipulate me? And also, how does Markus know Puck? Unless... He's an Everafter! Oh and hey just to let you know Degusud, I just realized right now that Markus is an Everafter because back then I was in shock.

I looked at Markus and then at Puck who really wanted to hear that I was perfectly safe. I nodded, "Um, that's right... He apologized to me by taking me out to places."

Markus beamed, "See? I wouldn't do anything bad to her. Since I am a good guy."

Puck spat, "Good my ass. I'll let you go this time, but if I see you around her one more time it would be even way worse than... This!"

Puck grabbed Markus's shirt and flung him to the far side of the cave in a BOOM! Then he flew by me and picked me up princess style, then we flew home.

"You looked very un-Pucklike back there." I whispered.

Puck chuckled and shrugged, "Well, when we get home I'm going to be just like my old self again, so don't worry."

"Why don't you want me to be near Markus again?" I asked softly.

The fairy's face darkened and he muttered, "He works for a dangerous guy and he's dangerous too. Just don't be near him."

After that we flew home in silence. When we returned home I experienced a century's worth of lectures from my parents, Granny Relda, Mr. Canis, Sabrina who just came home a few hours ago, and even worse, Elvis. So here I am, stuck in my room with nothing better to do. But now that I think about it, maybe I should go research on what kind of Everafter Markus is to cure my boredom. Thanks Degusud for helping me with this idea!

Ciao!

Daphne: I sounded not that smart

Sorry trying to keep you in character!

Daphne: So you're not going to use Mustardseed in here? And why is Markus all meanie butt?

Um yeah I'm not going to use Mustardseed and Markus is a meanie butt for very unknown reasons until later.

Oh and review! I like reviews!
