This oneshot can be considered as a kind of crossover with Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray. Genre: romance/fantasy (or perhaps supernatural).

Can be OOC sometimes.


21. Picture of the Grimm Family (set when Sabrina's nineteen)

Puck had always secretly wished that Sabrina Grimm would have been born as an Everafter. He didn't like the fact that she was mortal and he wasn't. Of course, he aged for her, but he knew he wouldn't die anyway.

"How can they find ever essence?" he wondered, thinking about the Grimms.

One day he was going home from his university and stopped at the Blue Plate Special cafe to have lunch. The Blue Fairy cheerfully came to his table and asked for his orders. But instead of reading the menu, Puck was in deep thoughts about something different. To be exact, he was thinking about Sabrina again.

"Can a human become an Everafter?" he asked the Blue Fairy unexpectedly. She was surprised by the question.

"Well... I think... there's no magic this powerful," she sighed. "I can turn an inanimate object into a living person, but giving ever essence to a human?.. That's... n-not possible."

When she saw Puck's disappointment, she quickly added:

"I'm not sure about it! Maybe, when I come home, I'll read some special books... Perhaps there were some occasions about humans being turned into Everafters indeed."

Puck didn't ask about it anymore. He had his lunch and left the Blue Plate.


A week later

Puck had almost forgotten about that conversation with the Blue Fairy, when she phoned the Grimm family. Veronica answered the phone:

"Hello... Oh, good afternoon, Ms. Fairy... How do you do?.. We're alright... What?.. Is it really possible? I can't believe it!.. Sorry? What do we have to do? Oh, and is this all?.. Of course, of course!.. We have a nice camera... Everyone?.. I see... Thank you so much!.. An ever essence... So, we're decided... See you... OK."

She turned to the family and exclaimed:

"The Blue Fairy has found a complicated way to give an ever essence to us!"

"What?" everyone cried, dazzled. "Is it true?"

"Yes!" Veronica continued. "She'll take a picture of our family and put a spell on it, so that our photograph doubles will age instead of us. She found this thing in Oscar Wilde's novel - Picture of Dorian Gray. Get ready!"


202 years later

Puck got up and looked at his wife, Sabrina Grimm.

"So, ugly, what does a couple have to do on the 200th anniversary of their wedding?"

"We have to prepare a VERY LARGE celebration," Sabrina smiled. "Wake up the children, Puck. We'll decorate the house. I'll call Daphne and tell her to send LOTS of invitations."

"A great plan," Puck kissed his wife and went to wake up their nine kids.

Meanwhile, Sabrina put on her lovely party dress and looked in a small mirror that was lying on the table. Suddenly, she felt a tingle of magic and saw a big photograph lying nearby. The photograph represented several very old people.
