... I have to say I'm seriously disappointed by the amount of reviews I got for that last chapter. I worked REALLY hard on it and its my longest one, not to mention the last official chapter! *sigh* Oh well. I want to sincerely thank those of you who did review:
Hedgi: Lol, yeah, I guess it is that time of year!
CurlsCat: Haha... I have no idea what that word is but I'm glad your excited! (Well, I think your excited... Again, I can't really tell what that word is.)
Dog9Girl: Sorry if I write slow. I'm just trying to make this the best story I can possibly write.
SummerGirl172: OMG, thank you! That's exactly what I wanted my story to be viewed as.
MozartandI: I'm glad you think so, it took me forever to think of a good ending. Lol, I'm glad you loved it that much!
Coolicious101: Thanks, I'm really happy that you like the ending.
Without further ado... The Epilogue!
Disclaimer: Again, I do not own The Sisters Grimm. Never have, never will.
"I'll see you tomorrow, 'Brina!" A tall brunette in a volleyball uniform waved goodbye to Sabrina as she left the school gym and got into a small red Honda. Her mother had come to pick her up.
Sabrina wiped the sweat off her brow and waved back. "See ya!" The brunette gave another small smile as her mother zoomed off with her daughter now in the passenger seat. The girl's name was Andrea and was one of Sabrina's FEMALE friends. Yep, Sabrina had made some new friends since her... incident.
After Mustardseed had left to go Faerie, things went back to normal. Puck pretended that the kiss had never happened and went back to pranking and humiliating Sabrina on a daily basis, which was just the way she preferred it. Sabrina did her time in punishment and the dreaded month of grounding was eventually over and done with much to her happiness. Puck made it clear to Nicole that it would be better if they were just friends. She didn't take it too well, but she would eventually get over it (Puck hoped). Daphne forgave Sabrina for putting herself in yet another dangerous situation, and Uncle Jake and Granny Relda did the same. Moth was currently doing her own time in a high-security section of Faerie's prison. Overall, things were the way they should be.
Sabrina was in her own volleyball uniform, having just come out of practice for the day. It turned out that Sabrina actually did want to join the girls' volleyball team, and that was how she made some very good friends such as Andrea. She still hung out with Nick and Chris often, but she thought it was nice to have some girls to hang out with and to just talk girl stuff with.
Nick and Chris had also been busy lately having joined the boys' JV football team, which Puck had also tried out for. Chris was very proud of his new position as quarterback, as were Nick and Puck who had gotten their positions as wide receivers.
Sabrina walked out of the front doors of the gym and out into the warmth of the sun. It was a beautiful, cloudless day, perfect for a football game, which was currently going on in the mid-sized football stadium across campus. Sabrina usually had to wait to go home on Thursdays because Puck always had a football game and couldn't fly her home until it was over. Daphne took art classes after school at the community center, which meant that she got picked up early by Uncle Jake.
This left Sabrina waiting in the stands for the game to be over, sometimes alone, which she didn't really mind, and sometimes with some of her friends from the volleyball team who had decided to come from practice to watch the game. Sabrina actually liked watching the games. She got to cheer on Chris and Nick and talk with friends, but then again, there were also other things that she could be doing that were more worth her time.
Sighing, Sabrina started across campus for the football field. If she was lucky, maybe Lindsey or Courtney, some more of her new friends, would be there. They were always fun to hang out with, although Courtney did have a rather unhealthy crush on Chris...
Seeing that she had arrived at the stadium, Sabrina walked through the gates leading to the stands, showing her student ID to the nearby teacher who was selling tickets. Luckily half time had just ended so most of the people who were there to watch the game were up in the stands where Sabrina could easily see every face. Not many people attended the JV games, so it didn't take long for Sabrina to spot Courtney jumping up and down in the top row, happily watching Chris make a pass. Sabrina grinned when she saw an embarassed looking Lindsey sitting next to her energetic friend, covering her face with one hand. Both were wearing uniforms identical to Sabrina's.
Sabrina started walking towards the bleachers where her friends resided. She ignored the ugly looks she received from Nicole and her followers who were showing off their new Prada bags near the concession stand and continued all the way up to the last row of bleachers where she sat next to Lindsey, who continued to cover her face as she looked at Sabrina miserably. She was the more conserved of the pair with jet black hair and a strong and silent nature.
Lindsey looked up at Sabrina with a look that seemed to say 'Just shoot me'. Sabrina laughed. "C'mon, Lindsey, it's not that bad. At least, it could be worse," she said as she looked up at Courtney who had not even taken her eyes off of Chris to greet Sabrina.
Lindsey took her hand away and looked at Sabrina full in the face. "You know she's going to build a monument to him one day."
Sabrina just laughed again and attempted a change in subject. She was used to her friend's somewhat negative attitude and was completely alright with it. Lindsey was a good, down-to-earth friend. "So how are we doing?"
Lindsey squinted down at the field and shook her head. "I can't even tell when someone passes the ball. I don't have my contacts in." She tugged on the end of Courtney's shorts. "Hey, Bouncy, what's the score?"
Courtney stopped her bouncing to glare down at Lindsey, "How should I know? The scoreboard has been broken for months."
Lindsey rolled her eyes. "You've been watching the game the whole time and Sabrina wants to know."
Courtney's expression changed as she suddenly looked at Sabrina and blushed. "Oh, hey, Sabrina! I didn't notice you there!"
Sabrina dismissed it with a slight smile and repeated her previous question. "So how are we doing? You have been watching the game the whole time, haven't you?"
Courtney blushed even more and muttered something inaudibly.
Lindsey smiled triumphantly. "Oh, I'm sorry, what was that you just said?"
Courtney glared at Lindsey again. "I don't know how we're doing, OK?" She looked towards the field dreamily. "You have got to admit that he's a god."
Neither of the two other girls needed her to say a name to figure out who Courtney was talking about, and both of them had to agree. Chris had really matured in the past month. He had wavy, dirty blonde hair and brown eyes you could just melt in, but Sabrina knew that all he would ever be to her was a brotherly best friend, just like Nick. Sabrina scanned the field and found said boy. Unlike Chris, he had not really matured, because he was purely an Everafter. His hair was a dark shade of brown and his eyes were a deep sapphire. His skin was tanned to perfection. Sabrina frowned in jelousy. She didn't tan, only burned.
Then she finally averted her eyes from Nick to look towards another familiar face. Puck, despite being a full Everafter like Nick, had matured of course in looks, not personality. He was still the same old Puck on the inside, but the outside had indeed changed. His eyes were still a bright emerald color, but he, like Nick, had a perfect tan from all of the football practices in the blazing sun. He had buffed up quite a bit from all the drills their coach had them do and could now do more than fifty perfect push-ups in a row, as he had declared in a proud and arrogant manner at dinner one night. His hair was blonde, a few shades lighter than Chris's dirty blonde, but he had the same wavy texture in his hair. Yes, Puck had definitely... improved.
Sabrina spent the remainder of the game talking and laughing with her new friends and occasionally greeting someone passing her row in the bleachers who she would faintly remember from one of her classes in school. The three girls eventually figured out the score and the fact that they were winning. At the end of the game, the score was 24-31 with Heart High School victorious.
The three girls ran down the bleachers to congratulate the team along with the rest of the crowd. Sabrina could soon see Nick, Chris, and Puck exiting the field nearby.
Sabrina, Lindsey, and Courtney soon caught up with them and greeted the three with a chorus of "Congratulations"s and "Good job"s.
Chris grinned right at Courtney when he winked and said, "Thanks, you guys." Sabrina and Lesley smirked knowingly at each other when Courtney blushed scarlet and nearly fainted.
Sabrina looked at Puck and said, "Hurry up and get your stuff so we can get home. I have tons of homework tonight."
Puck rolled his eyes at Sabrina. "Aw, that's no fun!"
Chris and Nick both snickered playfully at her. "Yeah, Sabrina," Nick said, "lighten up!"
Sabrina snickered back at them. "And what did you say your grade point average was again, Nick?"
It was Chris and Puck's turn to laugh at their friend. Nick just brushed it off and put an arm around a surprised Lindsey as he continued.
"Well, you do need to lighten up, Sabrina. I bet Lindsey agrees with me, don't you, Lindsey?" he asked, looking down at her. She was a few noticable inches shorter than him and everyone could tell.
Only Sabrina and Courtney could see a small blush crawl up Lindsey's face in the dimming sunlight as she responded shyly. "Uh, y-yeah, totally..."
With that, they all said their goodbyes and the boys walked off to the showers. Sabrina sat down on the bench outside the small building as she usually did while waiting for Puck and smiled at her friends.
"I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow."
Lindsey frowned slightly. "Do you want us to wait out here with you until Puck is done? We wouldn't mind."
Lindsey elbowed Courtney in the stomach. Courtney suddenly piped up, "Oh, yeah, we wouldn't mind at all, 'Brina!"
Sabrina just smiled again and shook her head. "Seriously, guys, I'm fine. He won't be too long. I'll see you tomorrow."
Taking that as their cue to leave, they a muttered a few "goodbye"s and walked off, leaving Sabrina alone on the small bench.
It never took Puck long to get ready to leave. Usually he was actually the first one out of the boys' locker room, seeing that he never bothered to shower, much to Sabrina's dismay, so Sabrina wasn't surprised when Puck came out of the building in his same old green hoodie not too long after he had gone in. Sabrina rose from her spot on the bench and, as she usually did on Thursdays such as this one, took his outstretched hand and prepared herself to be nauseated. Puck took off and was soon soaring one hundred feet up in the air towards the home of the Grimm family. Sabrina had grown somewhat used to flying with him and didn't feel as sick as she used to when she flew, but it still wasn't her favorite mode of transportation.
The pair soon landed in the Grimms' front yard and started walking towards the house.
Sabrina's nostrils flared at Puck's scent. "Ugh, Puck, you reek. You should really consider taking a shower next time."
Puck frowned. "And why would I do that? A little man stench never hurt anybody."
Sabrina snorted. "You consider yourself a man?"
Puck puffed out his chest. "Yes, as a matter of fact, I do."
Sabrina rolled her eyes. "You are such a child."
After that statement, Puck just stopped walking and looked away from Sabrina. Sabrina, afraid that she had offended him, felt immediate remorse and stopped as well. She walked towards the fairy who now had his back to her and put a hand on his shoulder to turn him around. "Puck?" she asked tentatively.
Puck turned around and looked her right in the eyes. "You know, with all the insults and criticism you give me, sometimes I think I regret saving your life."
Again, guilt hit Sabrina like a city bus on the highway. For a moment there was only the sound of crickets chirping. "Puck-" she started.
Suddenly a boyish grin spread across Puck's face as he pushed Sabrina playfully aside and started running towards the front door. "Psyche!" he called over his shoulder, the grin still planted firmly on his face.
Sabrina could only laugh and chase after him. Yeah, things were back to normal- or as normal as normal could be in Ferryport Landing.
