Chapter 3 - The Winter Formal
Sabrina woke up at 5 am, winter formal was tomorrow and she could hardly sit still. Sabrina got up to check on her dress, It was a beautiful emerald green color and silk. It was long but the tight fitting made her look more mature by showing off her curves. In other words it made her body look sexy.
It took 4 hours for her to find it and cost a month's allowance. Puck better like it. Or else.
Alice got a beautiful, long flowing gown that draped over her shoulders like a river in the sky. So poetic, right? It's an angelic dark blue, sleeveless gown that bunches the side with a cluster of sparkles. The skirt that billows around her feet is light like sheer and Alice is simply ecstatic.
Jane chose to get a beautiful blood red dress that reaches her ankles but has a long split up the side. It drapes over one shoulder and has a fairly large opening on the side of her torso. The whole thing is decorated with diamonds and looks Fab-u-lous.
Gretel got an amazing dress. It was a white flowing dress with lace/sheer on the top, exposing her shoulders. It was glittering with silver sparkles and reached all the way to her ankles. It fell like a waterfall making Gretel look elegant and graceful while wearing it.
Sabrina closed her closet door and started getting ready for school. It was now 6:00 am and she dreaded having to get Daphne up again. She wasn't the mood, speaking of which she did NOT want to get pranked by Puck today. Sabrina decided not to think about it and let it ruin her day.
"DAPHNE GET UP!" Sabrina shouted in Daphne's ear.
"Five more minu..mmms" Daphne mumbled as she went back to sleep.
"DAPHNE IF YOU DON'T GET UP I WON'T LET YOU SEE MY DRESS!" Sabrina yelled again. Daphne sat up at a startling speed.
"I wanna see it!" Daphne said, eyes wide with curiosity. With this Puck burst into the room.
"Will you guys be quiet?! Some people need their beauty sleep!" Puck said raising his nose up in the air.
"Oh, didn't know you were such a princess, Puck! Hey that's a good name for you! Presenting Princess Puck! Haha!" Sabrina teased.
"Just shut up! I'm going down stairs!" Puck said as he left.
"Well Geez, what's up with him?" Sabrina asked, confused at Puck's seriousness. Daphne avoided her eyes and hopped out of bed.
"Daphne.." Sabrina said warningly. "What do you know?"
"N-nothing!" Daphne squeaked as she ran downstairs. Sabrina sighed in annoyance. Daphne and Puck are working together… no good can come from that.
"DAPHNE YOU'RE STILL IN YOUR PJ'S!" Sabrina yelled after her.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Sabrina sat at the table with Puck, Daphne, Granny, Veronica, and Henry. No one was speaking because of the tension between the two blonde teenagers. Henry seemed unusually happy today. It seemed to have something to do with Sabrina and Puck's lack of conversation…
"So...Sabrina?" Veronica asked hesitantly. Sabrina looked up. "What kind of dress did you get?"
"A pretty one, but I don't want to say any more, it's a surprise." Sabrina said. Henry's head snapped up.
"Surprise? Surprise for whom?" Henry asked quickly, narrowing his eyes. Sabrina sweatdropped.
"F-for…" She dropped off the rest of her sentence. Puck was looking at her curiously now.
"Sabrina Grimm…" Henry warned.
"Henry-" Veronica started.
"No Veronica. Sabrina do you have something to tell us?" Henry crossed his arms.
"Um...no?" Sabrina said feebly.
"Obviously you do." Henry stated. Everyone at the table avoided eye contact. Henry raised his eyebrows at this. "Do ALL OF YOU have something to tell me?" He growled. Puck quietly slipped out of the room and flew out of the house, away from the range of Henry's anger. Henry, of course, didn't notice.
"W-well Dad, Its a suprise for... You?"
"Yeah right, I believe that. Who is he, Sabrina? I'm going to kill him." Henry said threateningly.
"Henry, calm down." Granny Relda pleaded.
"Oh? Well do you know who this mysterious boy is Mom?" Henry crossed his arms. A sheen of sweat appeared on Granny's lip.
"Oh… it's just a certain…. fairy prankster?" Granny said feebly.
"WHAT?!" Henry roared.
"Granny!" Sabrina cried.
"Well I'm sorry liebling! But really it's been a while, and you still haven't told him!" Granny reasoned. Sabrina huffed, defeated.
"I knew that fairy was good-for-nothing! When I get my hands on him there'll be hell to pay!" Henry shouted. He continued rambling like this and yelling threats to a non-present Puck.
Veronica, Granny, Sabrina and Daphne slumped down in their chairs and endured the cries of a very upset Henry Grimm for the rest of the meal. This morning would definitely not make it on the list of Sabrina's favorite mornings. Not-a-chance.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Later at school, Sabrina sat at her desk, very bored, and waiting for the bell to ring. Jane suddenly burst in, screaming at the top of her lungs, destroying everyone's eardrums in the process.
"AAAAHHHH! 'BRINA! 'BRINA! 'BRINA!" Jane screamed. Alice walked in behind her, holding her hands over her ears.
"Sabrina! Make her stop!" Alice pleaded. Gretel walked in next, with a look of horror twisted on her face.
"What's up Gretel?" Sabrina inquired. Gretel turned to face Sabrina, very slowly.
"My brother-" Gretel started but was interrupted by Jane.
"HANSEL ASKED ME TO THE FORMAL! KYAAAA!" Jane screamed/fangirled/yelled to the world. Sabrina raised her eyebrows.
"Oh! C-congratulations? I didn't know you wanted him to.." Sabrina trailed off, looking questioningly at Alice and Gretel. Alice raised her shoulders up and down. When Sabrina looked at Gretel she just glared and said,
"Don't. Just….Don't" Gretel huffed. Sabrina laughed.
"You're brother bugged you enough about it, huh?" Sabrina crossed her arms.
"Oh, don't even start!" Gretel threw her hands up in exasperation. Alice, Jane, and Sabrina giggled only to earn a death glare from Gretel.
"Well, uh, I have some news too." Alice said. The other three girls turned to look at her. "I, subtly, asked Peter if he had a date to the Formal, and conveniently, he didn't..hehe.."
"Oh Alice, you didn't?" Gretel squealed, now over her annoyance with Jane and Hansel.
"I might have.." Alice said sheepishly. Her friends began fangirling. "Peter is now my date to the Winter Formal!"
"Awww!" All three other girls cried. "Congratulations!"
"Now, we just need to find you a date Gretel!" Sabrina said evilly. Gretel blushed and puffed out her cheeks.
"I can get a date for myself, thank you very much! And what about you? Puck hasn't asked you yet! Hmph!" Gretel said, offended.
"Yeah well, Puck's my boyfriend. He's taking me to that dance no matter what. I don't see your imaginary boyfriend anywhere!" Sabrina retorted. Gretel flushed.
"Oh fine!" Gretel surrendered. Sabrina, Alice and Jane burst out laughing. "SHUT UP!" Gretel yelled.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
That night, Sabrina was sitting on the couch in the living room, reading one of her favorite fantasy books, and yes, fangirling. Puck timidly approached her.
"Um, hey Stinky?" Puck came up to Sabrina, fiddling with his hands. Sabrina scowled at the nickname and looked up from her book.
"What?" She said.
"C-could you come with me for a sec?" Puck stuttered. Sabrina raised her eyebrow. She knew this wasn't a prank judging by Puck's demeanor, so she got up and followed him up the stairs to his room.
When Puck opened the door there wasn't the usual traps and flea-ridden monkeys, rather a beautiful paved pathway extending from the door. Sabrina gasped. Scattered gems lined the small pathway and Sabrina couldn't see the end as it extended past her line of vision, into the never ending bedroom.
There were crickets chirping and the moon, whether it was fake or real, shone brilliantly. The setting had a calming feeling to it, and Sabrina was mesmerized. While she was taking in the scene, Puck had flown away.
"Puck?" Sabrina called. Puck emerged, wearing a sharp suit and carrying a single rose. As he approached Sabrina he scratched his head sheepishly.
"I don't really know how to do this sort of thing. Mustardseed was always the romantic one." Puck admitted. He handed the rose to Sabrina.
As she accepted it, she noticed the petals change from a blood red to a soft pink, then to a vibrant orange and onto yellow. The rose changed to all the colors of the rainbow, the stem as smooth as silk. Sabrina's eyes widened.
"So… I guess I thought we'd be going to the Winter Formal together as a given..but I didn't know that um… you know.. I…" Puck stumbled to find the right words. "Ugh, I give up, Sabrina will you go to the Formal with me?"
Sabrina's eyes widened even more. She slowly smiled and shook her head 'yes' vigorously, too stunned for words.
Puck blushed and then he gave Sabrina a quick peck on the cheek. Sabrina was snapped out of her stupor and smiled even wider. She pulled Puck in for a longer kiss on the lips and then hugged him tightly.
Remember when she had said Puck has his moments? Yes, this? Was definitely one of them.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
It was the night of the Winter Formal and everyone was in high spirits. Alice was taking a picture with Peter, Jane was holding hands with a blushing Hansel, and Sabrina was sitting at the table waiting for Puck to come back with some punch.
Gretel was laughing and talking with her date, Percy. It turns out Sabrina and her friends didn't need to try and find Gretel a date. The very next day, Percy asked Gretel to the Formal and he asked her to be his girlfriend.
Apparently, he's had a crush on her forever, and thinks she is the most beautiful girl in the world. Seems a little stalker-ish, but hey, they make a cute couple.
"Okay, I think we've got enough cups." Peter said as he and Puck arrived with the punch. Puck also brought with him, a scowl on his face because he was being forced to be civil with Peter.
Around the silk lined table sat Sabrina, Puck, Alice, Peter, Jane, Hansel, Gretel, and Percy. They all were talking and laughing until the couples began to file onto the dance floor and began dancing!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The Winter Formal had been going on for a while. Everyone was having fun and dancing until about ten o'clock when a girl with long, light brown hair came up to Sabrina.
"Hi? Sabrina Grimm?" The girl said. Sabrina turned around and her eyes widened.
"C-Chastity?!" Sabrina exclaimed.
"You do remember me!" 'Chastity' remarked.
"Of course! Hey Girl! What are you doing here?" Sabrina said, hugging Chastity.
"Well checking up on my friend that hasn't contacted me in four years!" Chastity said, lightly slapping Sabrina's arm. Sabrina chuckled.
"Well, a lot has been going on." Sabrina said.
"Yes, I can see that. But hey, why don't we catch up some place else? It's a bit too loud here." Chastity suggested, trying to raise her voice so it could be heard over the blaring music.
"Sure!" Sabrina responded. "I'll be right back!" She said this last part to her group of friends and walked off towards the locker rooms with Chastity. Puck glanced warily after them. Something about that girl Chastity felt familiar to him… and not in a good way.
"Hello, are you the one they call Puck?" A boy came up next to Puck. Puck turned around.
"Yeah, who's asking?" Puck said suspiciously.
"Me. I heard that you are the king of video games, and I just wanted to know your scores and to see if you could teach me a little bit." The boy answered.
"Oh," Puck puffed out his chest. "You came to the right guy! What's your name 'young grasshopper'?"
"Mordecai." The boy responded. Puck pulled out his hand held video game he just 'happened' to have in his jacket, and started to show Mordecai some of his scores.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Chastity and Sabrina sat on one of the benches in the girl's locker room.
"So..." Chastity said.
"So…" Sabrina said. They looked at each other and started laughing.
"Okay this is too awkward!" Sabrina cried.
"Yeah, it's like we're strangers!" said Chastity. The girls finally broke the ice and began chatting about their new lives.
"So you have a boyfriend do you?" Chastity smirked.
"Yeah, his name's Puck." Sabrina blushed a bit. Chastity laughed.
"Well I can see why you'd like him! He's H-O-T hot!" Sabrina laughed.
"So what've you been up to Chas?" Sabrina asked, using her old nickname for her friend.
"Oh, not much, I mean we moved to a different part of town, when my father got a job transfer. Well a promotion anyway.." Chastity said.
"Oh! That's great for him! Tell him I say congrats!" Sabrina replied. Chastity laughed.
"Alright! I will!"
"Oh, remember when your dad used to make us chocolate chip waffles every time we had a sleepover?"
"Yeah! They were delicious! I'm afraid he won't be able to do that anymore! Too busy with work!" Chastity said light heartedly.
"We had so many crazy traditions! Remember we'd play a prank on each other when it was our birthdays!" Sabrina reminisced.
"Haha! Yes! Oh, speaking of which," Chastity pulled two glasses out of her purse, two cans of root beer and a big bag of marshmallows. "Don't forget our celebration tradition!" Sabrina squealed.
"Oh! Marshmallows dipped in root beer! I remember! I remember!" Sabrina's eyes sparkled as Chastity filled the two glasses and plopped some marshmallows in them. She handed Sabrina one.
"Cheers!" Chastity cried. They clinked glasses and Sabrina took a big gulp from hers.
A crash was heard as Sabrina collapsed on the bench, unconscious.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Puck paused his video game with Mordecai. He thought he had heard something coming from the locker rooms. Wait. That's where Sabrina and Chastity went!
Puck pushed past the crowd and burst into the locker rooms. He saw Sabrina passed out on one of the benches and her supposed friend standing over her. Two glasses were in her hands, one empty and one full, and she wore a devious smirk on her face.
"Who are you?" Puck cried. Mordecai slipped out from behind Puck and stood next to Chastity.
"Good work Chas." Mordecai said slyly. "I thought for sure I was going to have to distract him for a bit longer, although, with this buffoon it wouldn't have been a difficulty." He smirked at Puck.
"You!" Was all Puck could utter. "Who are you two?!"
Chastity smiled. "Why your Majesty, I must say I'm not surprised you didn't recognize us. I mean we were lowly servants the last time you saw us. But since Father got a promotion, we also did." She narrowed her eyes at Puck.
"We are now able to gratefully serve her highness Moth. With the greatest pleasure."
