Well hello, hello, hello. Long time no update, don't you think? ;)
So sorry guys, but the past day i've reached something that i guess you could call a "mid-story crisis". I had absolutely no idea on what should happen in the next chapter, so i turned to my fellow reviewers and fanfic friends out there for ideas. And lets just say, you blew my mind.
You guys totally rock.
Ideas coming in left right and center. E-mail, reviews, PM's. I couldn't keep up. It was AWESOME.
So now, thanks to a dear friend of mine (PUCKABRINALOVER, i heart you), I have an excellent plot awaiting. OakeX, i believe you will get your wish. Wait for it, my friend. It is going to be amazing... i think. There will be a lot of applauding on your account. (Hint Hint).
So yeah, that's my useless banter for the night. It's currently around 12:30, so not that late. Probably going to write two chapters, see how it goes.
Oh, and by the way, the scores for the poll are in. Romantic version won by 1 point. But i'm gonna totally change things up. I also get a vote, which means that embarrassing and romantic versions are EQUAL. I shall decide your fate, Sisters Grimm…
Onward and upwards! To the keyboard! Although i am already using the keyboard, but stilllll...
The party was extremely formal, to Puck's dismay. Male and female students from the age of 17 and upwards were all dressed in suits and fancy dresses. Puck was the only one who looked slightly out of place, but that was not unusual for the extremely good looking boy who was more often than not the center of attention.
Sabrina looked around and spotted Rachel, along with her date, Lucas, heading towards them. Rachel's hair was down, and she was wearing a long green dress. Lucas was dressed in a black suit with matching green tie. They looked especially cute together.
"Isn't this party awesome?" Rachel cried as soon as they had reached the pair. Sabrina smiled and nodded. Puck, on the other hand, scoffed and looked around.
"My parents could do better."
Sabrina looked at the boy. He was looking around the grandly decorated school theater in amusement. He seemed almost... mocking.
Puck caught her staring and smirked. "We need to get you a pair of sunglasses, Grimm. That way i won't be able to catch you the hundred times you ogle my perfection."
Sabrina scowled. The idiot. Then she remembered why she had agreed to come to this dance in the first place. It was because of this idiot.
Puck grinned and dragged her onto the dance floor. Dozens of other students were dancing and swaying to the music.
Sabrina eyed Puck suspiciously. "Do you even know how to dance?"
Puck smiled. "Grimm, I'm ro-," his smile faltered. Then he shook his head and grinned at her. "I don't need to know, I just do. It comes naturally. As does everything else."
Sabrina rolled her eyes and allowed Puck to spin her in a circle. The beat was strong and fast, and they had to move quickly to keep up. Puck was a good dancer, and she could tell by the look on his face that he was enjoying himself.
He twirled and spun her around the dance floor. He pulled her towards him, then pushed her away. Once, he even lifted her off her feet and did a little spin. Sabrina had blushed and looked at his chest rather than his face.
The song changed to a slow and steady rhythm. Puck directed Sabrina's hand toward his shoulder, and intertwined his fingers with her free hand. His other hand moved to rest gently on her hips, and she chose that moment to look around for Rachel. She found the girl happily snogging Lucas in a corner of the theater, both of them seeming to be enjoying themselves.
The song ended. "Having fun, Grimm?"
Sabrina's eyes snapped back to Puck's. She shook her head. "Not with you around, Stinky."
Puck grinned and shook his head. "Well that simply won't do, will it? We have to change that."
All of a sudden, Puck had Sabrina in his arms, carrying her bridal style. He sauntered over to the back doors, ignoring the weird looks being sent their way. Sabrina, however, was all too aware of the attention they were receiving.
"Puck, put me down," she hissed. Puck smirked and tut-tutted. "No can do, Grimm. You're not enjoying yourself, and that's not good. We need to make your night more enjoyable."
Sabrina glared at the boy. He could be so infuriating sometimes. She huffed and punched his chest lightly.
Puck finally reached the doors and pushed through. He walked to a tree positioned in the yard and carefully dropped Sabrina to her feet. His hands remained on her waist, and Sabrina still had her arms around his neck.
"So..." Puck began. He looked up and watched the stars. Sabrina followed his gaze and looked up towards the brightly lit night sky.
"It's beautiful," she breathed. Puck's face scrunched up, as if he had smelled something unpleasant. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
"They're just stars, Sabrina." Sabrina rolled her eyes. Trust him not to take something seriously.
She opened her mouth to say something, only to be cut off as something warm, soft, and oddly familiar pressed against her lips. It took her a moment to realize what was happening. Puck was kissing her. Again.
Sabrina kissed him back, and this time it was only a gentle kiss. Not needy and desperate like their first. Sabrina felt a flutter of butterflies inside her stomach. She felt her legs trembling, and her body melt against his.
When they broke apart, Puck was breathing heavily. He looked energetic, and he had a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
"Well, that was different."
Sabrina grinned and looked around. She was thinking. Thinking about how she and this boy standing in front of her had kissed twice, had spent time together, and still remained under the title of 'friends'. Surely they were more than that. Much more.
She looked at him. He was watching her face closely, as if he were afraid she would suddenly run away from him. Sabrina smiled.
"What does this make us?"
Puck's eyes went slightly wide and he grinned crookedly. "Well, I guess this makes us boyfriend and girlfriend. You know, like in those cheesy dramas on TV. In a relationship. But only if you want, though."
Sabrina grinned as well. "Of course I want to, you idiot. I wouldn't have let you kiss me if I didn't. Trust me, I'd make it very clear."
Puck pulled her towards him and hugged her. "Let's stay the same." He whispered. Sabrina nodded.
"Yeah, it would be weird if we started acting all mushy and romantic. I'd prefer if we stayed as enemies. And besides, my family still think that we are just partners for an assignment. They don't know that we're, well…together."
Puck pulled away and nodded. "That's true. But what about the marshmallow? She knew before all… this. It shouldn't be hard for your family to figure it out if I come and pick you up for school. We can walk. Bring the little one too."
Sabrina smiled. "Does this mean the pranks are going to end?"
Puck looked at her as if she had suddenly grown another head. "Are you crazy? They are only going to get worse, now that you're my girlfriend and all that. Grimm, when I'm done with you, you're going to wish you had never set foot into this school."
Sabrina smiled. That was how she liked it.
…
Sabrina woke up the next morning to the sound of people rushing around the house. She sat up in bed and rubbed her head. She wanted to go back to sleep, but sadly, the people in her household would not allow that.
She walked outside and was met with a very flustered looking Granny Relda. The old woman walked straight past Sabrina and headed towards her bedroom.
Sabrina frowned and headed downstairs. Elvis was laying down on the floor, and she gave him a scratch behind his ear. Red and Daphne were sitting at the table pouring over books. Mr Canis was sitting on the couch cross-legged, meditating. Her parents were standing over the kitchen counter, heads bent together and whispering. Sabrina walked over to them.
"Mind telling me what's going on?"
Henry and Veronica snapped their heads up. Veronica smiled nervously at Sabrina, then gave her a hug. "It's nothing, sweetie. Just another case involving a close friend. Go have some breakfast. Your father and I have got this covered. Granny Relda's helping out too. Your brother's still asleep."
Sabrina nodded and walked over to the cupboard to get some cereal. After she had finished eating, she told her family that she was going out. She put on a jacket over a green top and jeans and walked outside.
It was warm and sunny, and Sabrina found herself walking towards Puck's house. He had shown her which one it was last night as he drove them home, and she had to say that it was the fanciest house she had ever seen.
It was one of those modern ones, with the curved glass windows and smooth white brick walls. The front yard was bright green, with a few plants positioned expertly around the outside. The stone driveway was empty. No BMW stood there.
Guess they're not home, she thought to herself. She began walking back towards her house.
The rest of the day had been spent helping Red and Daphne study up on fairytale characters.
…
A whole two weeks had gone by, and Sabrina walked to school with Puck and Daphne. Basil was driven by Henry or Veronica because he attended a different school, and so in no time at all, Puck and Daphne had become close friends.
On one particular occasion, Puck thought it would be funny to embarrass his girlfriend in front of her younger sister.
The trio were walking to school, Puck and Sabrina behind, and Daphne walking backwards in front of them. The young girl was busy asking Puck questions.
"Do you have a younger brother or sister?"
Puck winced, but then smiled. "Yeah. A brother."
Daphne raised her eyebrows. "How old is he? I've never seen him before."
Puck thought for a moment. "He's younger than me. Around your age, actually. He doesn't go to this school. He's on… business."
Daphne nodded. "Have you ever had a girlfriend before?"
"Nope."
"Do you like Sabrina?"
"I think that's pretty obvious, seeing as though we're dating and all."
"What's your favorite colour?"
"Green."
The two continued on like this until they reached the school gate. By the time they had arrived, Sabrina knew that Puck's best prank ever was when he had covered a large group of people with runny blue jelly and then tossed raw chickens at them. She also knew that he had changed schools every few months or so. She hadn't asked why.
During lunch break, Puck had dragged her into an empty classroom as she was walking down the corridor. He had kissed her, and then she had felt something cold and wet on her chest. When she had looked down, she saw that Puck had spilt apple juice and soggy bread down her top. She had punched him in the arm, hard, then stalked off to find a bathroom. She spent the rest of the day with a very wet shirt on.
Their shows of affection were strange. Sometimes they would kiss, and Puck would go into romantic mode, but other times he would spill something in her hair when she was caught off guard. Other times they would walk down the street together, Puck with his hands in his pockets and Sabrina with hers swinging by her side, because, according to Puck, holding hands was too "lovey-dovey." Sabrina would roll her eyes and agree, but sometimes she wished he would just shut up and hold her hand.
A month into their relationship, Sabrina was starting to feel more relaxed. Her family had long since figured out her relationship with the boy, and all of them seemed fine with it, even Henry, although he would sometimes be a bit overprotective.
Sabrina wouldn't have had it any other way. She had a boyfriend, an amazing family, and she knew how to kick butt.
Life was wonderful.
