Today Was A Fairytale

Chapter 10: Dance
Sabrina's POV:
I woke up the next morning with one thought in mind. There was only one more day until Christmas Eve and two more under Christmas day. Also, today was the day of Charming's Christmas Ball. I wasn't sure how, but Puck convinced him to have one.
Then again, Charming was big on having balls for no reason now that Snow White had agreed to marry him.
I rolled my eyes as Daphne and Red came running into my room.
"What are you doing?" Red asked, hands on her hips.
"It's already noon and you're still in bed. The ball is at four!" Daphne shrieked.
"How are we supposed to help you get ready and get ourselves ready in four hours?" Red asked.
"Brina, take your shower and we'll go take ours as well. Then we'll come in here and get you ready," Daphne said.
"I don't even want to go," I whined.
"Shut up," Red gasped.
"Just leave her-she'll get ready, trust me," Daphne said, dragging Red out of the room.
~...~
Yeah, well Daphne and Red were right. I did end up getting ready. Actually, I ended up letting them get me ready.
I stood in my room, in front of my mirror staring at my reflection bitterly. My blonde hair was piled up onto the top of my head in a messy bun and my eyes were framed with smoky eye shadow, black mascara-very little since I already had thick eyelashes-and black eyeliner. My lips were outlined with pale pink and filled with an even light pink. My cheeks had pink blush on them and glitter was sprinkled across my face and neck.
I was wearing a strapless, midnight blue dress that had a tight bodice and a full skirt. I knew I'd fall over my heels that were extremely tiny to hold up so much weight and silver.
I turned from my room and made my way down the stairs.
Puck's POV:
How did I not know that a ball meant me getting clean-which I didn't mind anymore-and a tux? I stood by the door, waiting for Sabrina in a black tuxedo with a blue shirt and a blue and black plaid tie-I'd picked it out myself.
Daphne and Red were giggling in the living room while Jake sat out in the car, heating it up. Daphne and red were both wearing short, knee length dresses. Daphne's was black and Red's was, of course, red. They had black heels on with the off the shoulder dresses that was tight fitting. I truthfully didn't want Daphne to leave the house like that. She's become like a little sister to me.
They had their hair down and had gone extra heavy on the make-up. I just hoped they didn't do something like that to Sabrina.
Just as I thought that, she came walking down the stairs.
She was gorgeous. She was wearing make-up, which gave her an even bigger advantage and her dress fit her perfectly.
"I knew it!" Red said, walking over towards us.
"Hurry up," Daphne whined, running towards me. "Mom and dad are already there," She pouted.
"Jake's giving us a ride," Red explained to Sabrina.
"Okay," Sabrina said slowly and looked at me and gasped. "Whoa Puck, I forgot how good you look when you're cleaned up," She smirked.
MY tongue felt heavy in my mouth and my mouth felt dry. I couldn't even come up with a good comeback. Of course, there were plenty of other things I wanted to say but I knew if I opened my mouth to attempt at the negative things, the good ones would come out.
Wow she looks amazing. Say something genius! Look at how she's looking at you-she thinks you're stupid! Are you going to let her call you stupid? SAY SOMETHING.
Of course I wanted to say something. But everything I thought was too sweet to sound normal coming from me. If I tried to tell her one of those things she'd get upset and accuse me of lying to her or making fun of her.
"Puck, are you okay," She asked softly. She sounded worried. Wow, I must be acting really weird if Sabrina's worried about me.
Will you answer her? It doesn't even have to make sense-just open your mouth and say something. But make sure it isn't something hurtful you big moron. Say something-anything-before she starts laughing at you. You not talking is making this even more obvious! She already said you looked good!
I froze as I remembered that. Sabrina had said I looked good. So why was I frozen as if I couldn't talk?
"You look great too," I smiled.
"Daphne and Red did all the work," She blushed, looking down.
"Can we go already?" Daphne asked.
"Oh stop rushing them," Red whispered as she pulled her towards the car.
"SHOT GUN," Daphne called as she jumped into the front seat of the car.
I knew what she was doing. She and Red wanted me and Sabrina to confess our love for each other. Well you can't exactly confess a lie so we couldn't do that.
Neither of us loved the other that was one of the few things I knew. Okay, so maybe I thought I knew everything but that was on the outside. On the inside I admitted all of my faults-see; I even said I had faults!
You are such a liar, Puck. You know you have feelings for Sabrina and you know they aren't hate. You love her. You want to hug her and kiss her. You want to marry her. You're in love with her!
Aren't there supposed to be two of you?
Even I have to admit that you're not only in love with her-but you're whipped.
Whipped?
It means she has you wrapped around her finger. You do everything she says. You'll do anything for her.
Okay, well I wouldn't go that far.
You're just lucky I agree with you.
He believed me more so when you were against me!
Whatever you say...
Okay you two need to stop fighting. Actually, you need to get out of my head because Sabrina's looking at me like I'm crazy and I'm sure its because I'm confused about why I have three voices in my head.
That's not why.
How would you know? You're not even real! You're in my head!
Dude, you're talking aloud.
We may not be real but we can hear and see everything that goes on around you. We're in your head meaning we're in your brain.
Dude-we should totally take over his brain and make him admit that he loves Sabrina! We could call Sabrina's subconscious mind and common sense too!
We're supposed to be the good guys...
We aren't magically appearing on his shoulder like the devil and the angel.
That is true.
Hey-I wonder if we could do that!
Now that would be fun.
You already sound like an angel all proper and all about doing good.
What's so bad about that?
Besides the fact that you're in my head-and I'm the trickster king-well...YOU'RE IN MY HEAD! Now get out of my head so I can focus on Sabrina! And now look like a moron for talking to myself!
Sabrina's POV:
You love him! You want to hug him and kiss him and marry him. You want him to take you on a date.
That is so wrong! He's crazy-look, he's talking to himself.
Actually he's having this same argument with his subconscious mind and common sense.
I thought you two didn't agree on anything! This looks like you're agreeing and that's not how you work.
On the contraire, we can do whatever we want. We just normally choose to disagree. Right now however, we are on the same page.
Puck's common sense just told me they turned into the angel and devil dudes! I wanna do that! I hate being in her mind! It's all about Puck!
Newsflash: It's not that great having you in my head either. So if you want to leave and never return we can both be happy.
Admit you love Puck and we can go!
Seriously, it's that easy.
I know my life and it is anything but easy. Nothing in my life is every that easy. I live in Ferryport landing where fairy tale characters are real and my mind splits into two parts and argues. This creates a problem
Actually, we can split into way more than two parts.
We just choose not to so we can make it easier on you.
