A/N: Hey! Sorry for not updating this in forever. I think I'm gonna ditch the whole story thing and just make this a bunch of random one-shots. It's easier that way. I really don't know where this came from. I was just listening to my iPod and got some random inspiration for a songfic. The song is "On Top of the World" by Boys Like Girls.

Even though I'm updating now, future updates will be very infrequent/non-existent for the next few months. My computer is busted right now and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to get a new one since we already took it to the shop 2 times (going on 3) and they either can't fix it, or several new problems keep coming up at once. *Sob* I don't have the money for a new computer right now. I'm updating from a friend's computer right now, so this is rather hurried and probably really sucky. But it's better than nothing, right?

Anyway, the lyrics are bolded, the normal story is normal text, and the flashback is italicized. This takes place after the Scarlet Hand is defeated but some anonymous supporters still bother them (throwing bricks through windows, plastering everything with handprints, spitting at them, etc.). They can be any age you want. Age isn't really important for this one.

11. Fairytale

Puck sighed and stared at the trees surrounding him. Tonight was going to be yet another sleepless night spent lying on his trampoline and wishing he could be as cheerful as his chimpanzees who just discovered how to make fire without his help (not exactly good for his forest, but Puck didn't really care about that).

About a couple weeks ago, (15 days to be exact, not that Puck was counting) Henry had finally had enough of Ferryport Landing and dragged his family to San Francisco. That's right, San Francisco. Apparently, New York City was too close. If they moved back there, it would be too easy for Sabrina and Daphne to find a train and ride back to Ferryport. It wasn't just Puck who was depressed about it, though, the rest of the Grimms and even some of their friends were also upset. He thought Relda was taking it hardest – she hated that her son was choosing to leave her again – but the fact that the Grimm house was suddenly half empty wasn't exactly great for him either. Sure there was more food for him, and he didn't receive death threats from Sabrina on a daily basis, but it turned out that that wasn't what Puck wanted.

Look up, the stars are fading
And I am still here waiting
To see you again
Be with you my friend

Sighing, Puck rolled onto his back and stared at the "sky" of his room. The weather was always sunny and cloudless during the day (meaning it never rained or snowed), but depending on his mood the sun dimmed or brightened. He'd never noticed it before, but it seemed as if it were the same for the stars. It was as if he were back in New York City where you could barely see any stars because of the city lights.


When the moon is gone forever
I hope you're up there somewhere
I'll see you again
Be with you my friend

He didn't have a clue where the moon was tonight. The moon in his room usually followed the normal cycles with the exception of the new moons. There was always a moon, no matter how small, in the sky. But not tonight.

'Cause all the roads they lead to where you are
And all the streetlights shine like they were stars
That's where you are

When – and if – he ever got to see them again, he didn't know what he'd say to them. He would talk to them though, and if he couldn't, he'd at least try to see them. There was no way he'd ever talk to Henry – nearly everything was his fault – and he wouldn't even look at Veronica. So what if she wasn't the one who wanted to move? If she had fought hard enough, they might still be here. In his mind, the fact that she did nothing at all to stop it was worse than having the idea to move.

Smiling sadly, Puck remembered the night before the big move.

Let's spend tonight on top of the world
And we can do anything,
We can be anything
I'll meet you tonight on top of the world
As real as it seems,
You're only in my dreams

"Come on," he told Sabrina and Daphne after all the adults had gone to sleep. "Let's go up to the roof." Mostly he said it to cheer Marshmallow up, who looked as if she were about to cry again. But he also wanted to spend some time with Sabrina. Despite the fact that they fought all the time, she was still the closest thing he had to a friend.

They nodded, apparently too depressed to say anything, and taking their hands, he flew them up to the roof. For a while, they just lied there and stared at the night sky. There were a few clouds, but the stars seemed a little brighter than usual and there was a full moon. Finally, Daphne yawned, half asleep, and said, "At least the sky is happy tonight." Sabrina and Puck nodded and it wasn't long before she'd fallen asleep, assuming a much less troubled expression than the one she'd worn moments ago.

"So," Puck whispered, drawing out the word. "San Francisco's a long way from here."

"Yeah," Sabrina answered. Not knowing what else to say, but also not wanting to stay silent, she said, "Daphne really doesn't want to go." She paused. "I don't think I want to either. I've finally gotten used to it here. The remaining Scarlet Hand members do bother me, but I want to find a way to help them, not run away." By this time, her eyes were watering. To Puck, it seemed like she wanted to go on, but needed to stop to avoid crying.

Really hoping he wasn't making it worse, he asked, "Why don't you argue with your parents? Just tell them you want to say. Maybe they'll listen. Or you can just refuse to leave. I've still got those handcuffs if you want to cuff yourself to the stair railing or a tree or something."

She looked at him and smiled a little. "Don't you think I've tried talking to them already? They don't want to hear it. Well, Dad doesn't want to hear it and Mom's just going along with whatever he says. I don't get it though, I thought she'd put up a fight and try to stay. I guess she's just tired of dealing with the Scarlet Hand and hopes that there won't be any members in California."

"I guess," he answered, shrugging. "But what about the handcuffs?"

She snorted. "Oh yeah, they'd totally talk to me if I pulled that."

"I guess you're right." They stayed quiet for a while. "Are you sure you don't want to at least try?"

"Puck?"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up." But then she smiled again. "But thanks for trying.


Look out across the water
Faces of lonely daughters and mothers who care
But just can't be there
Swear that I will see you someday
I have to find a way
To show you I care
Even if you're not there

They stayed quiet for a while, just listening to Daphne's snores and enjoying the view from the roof. They lived almost exclusively in this house seeing as the Grimms, and even their friends, couldn't go into town without some kind of riot forming. Really, the house was their world.

From the "top of the world", they could see the Mississippi River. Sabrina stared at the water seemingly lost in memories while Puck stared at her. Before she caught him, though, he looked at Daphne. They really were his family, and no matter how many times he told himself otherwise, he was going to miss them. A lot.

Someday, if he ever got out of Ferryport Landing, he'd go to San Francisco, maybe for a quick visit or maybe to stay, and he'd make sure they were happy.

So I'm following the road to where you are
(Meet you tonight on top of)
The streetlights they will guide me to the stars
That's where you are

Turning away from Daphne to look at the river he thought that he saw Sabrina quickly look away as if she had been staring at him. He allowed himself a quick smile and said, "Keep staring all you want."

"I wasn't staring at you." Her deep blush told him otherwise, but he pretended not to hear. Tonight wasn't the time for fights. Unfortunately, it was the time for goodbye. The sun was rising, and Henry had made clear they were leaving first thing in the morning.

Sabrina stood up, knowing it was time to get back inside. Before she could wake Daphne, however, Puck said, "Just send me a letter with your address."

She nodded, a little shocked, but a little happy too. Once Daphne was awake, Puck flew them into their bedroom and they said their goodbyes.

They left shortly after that.

Let's spend tonight on top of the world
And we can do anything,
We can be anything
I'll meet you tonight on top of the world
As real as it seems,
You're only in my dreams

Now, Puck could only see them in pictures and his own dreams (which, thanks to insomnia, didn't happen often). He decided to talk to Bunny or Baba Yaga and see if they would make a magic mirror for him, preferably one that wasn't evil. Even if he couldn't talk to them, he wanted to see them. Sabrina had sent the letter as soon as she could, so he could even see their house if he had the mirror.

My heart is empty without you
Sometimes you don't know what you do
And I need you tonight
I'll fall asleep and it's alright
Close my eyes and I'll be by your side

He fell asleep around 3 a.m. while thinking about his and Sabrina's future. He doubted that they would ever get married now (and he still wasn't sure if he wanted that) but he hoped they could at least be friends.

Over the next few days, he continued to realize just how much he wanted, needed even, them to come back. He couldn't prank anyone without either getting in trouble or making someone (Red) cry. It wasn't long before he really did go to Baba Yaga, and she told him that she was working on a spell to get Everafters out of Ferryport Landing without shutting the barrier down. Despite the fact that there would no doubt be a price for using her spell, he really hoped that she would figure it out.

Let's spend tonight on top of the world
And we can do anything,
We can be anything
I'll meet you tonight on top of the world
As real as it seems,
You're only in my dreams

Let's spend tonight on top of the world
(On top of the world)
As real as it seems,
You're only in my dreams

He'd never really had a fairytale, just been in a few. But maybe, just maybe, if she could get that spell to work, he'd finally get his own.

A/N: A little fluffier than I thought it would be. Definitely not my best work, but I hope it wasn't too dreadful. Please review! I can still use my iPod to read them and reviews make me happy!
