Prompt- Daphne's Birthday Party
Enjoy!
Chapter 3-
"It's my birthday! It's my birthday!"
Sabrina groaned half-heartedly as she pushed herself up from her bed. She found herself face-to-face with a bouncing Daphne.
"Happy Birthday Daph. Why'd you wake me up at six?" she yawned as she checked her bedside clock.
"Don't be so droopy! Today is a very, very happy day"
Sabrina rolled her eyes and plonked back down onto her bed.
Waves of peaceful sleep began to roll gently over her and she could feel herself falling into a well-deserved sleep.
"Sabrina! Why are you going back to sleep?" Daphne cried.
Sabrina's eyes flew open and she rubbed her eyes.
"I'm not getting out of bed" she told her sister stubbornly.
"Yes you are"
"No I'm not"
"Sabrina Grimm, get out of bed right now"
Sabrina smirked.
"Make me"
Daphne eyed her sister mischievously.
"Puck, get in here!"
…
Half and hour and two rounds of shouting later, Sabrina plonked down into her seat grumpily, glaring at Puck and her sister.
"Lieblings, why are you awake so early?"
The trio turned to Relda, who was still in her nightcap.
"Blame it on the Marshmallow" Puck replied cheerily.
"Well, happy birthday liebling! I have invited everyone we know to a party tonight! Meanwhile, I have a special treat for you! I'm making glow-in-the-dark, hot Pink, Monkey Milk Pancakes!
Sabrina groaned to herself as Puck and Daphne whooped excitedly.
…
"I still don't get it. We don't have to do what you say" Sabrina told her sister, still sulking about the morning incident.
She, Puck, Red, Blue, Mustardseed and a bunch of their friends were sitting in an unruly circle.
"You have to do it because it's my birthday" pleaded Daphne.
Everyone relented reluctantly as Daphne explained (for the fifth time) how to play Truth or Dare.
"Is everyone clear on how to play?"
Sabrina jumped in, "I still think you're too young for this game"
Daphne rolled her eyes, "I'm fifteen now. I think that's old enough to play Truth or Dare"
They started the game.
The first few rounds were predictable and soon, Daphne started to feel a little bored.
When it was Sabrina's turn to spin the bottle, she pulled out a wand and enchanted the bottle to land on Puck. He looked warily at Sabrina.
"You wouldn't do anything too…too evil, would you? I mean, you wouldn't try to hurt your boyfriend or anything, right?"
Sabrina stared at him, before bursting into laughter.
"Who thought The Trickster King would be such a chicken?"
His jaw fell open and he stuttered, "I'm not a chicken. I'm the King of Truth or Dare"
Sabrina rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say. Truth or Dare, freakbaby?"
Puck stuck his nose high into the air. "Dare, of course. Only chickens choose Truth"
Sabrina smirked.
"I dare you to answer my question truthfully. Why are you dating me?"
Puck stared at her, opening and closing his mouth like a goldfish.
"Come again?"
Sabrina looked him in the eye.
"It's a simple question, Freakbaby"
Puck stuttered again. "it's because…umm…I like pulling pranks on you!"
Daphne cut in impatiently.
"It's called Truth or dare for a reason, Mr. I'm Not A Chicken"
Puck blanched. "Fine, but I'm going to whisper it in her ear so nobody else hears"
"Fine, whatever-" Sabrina started.
"No way, are you insane?" Daphne cried out.
Puck stood his ground. "I'm not saying it then"
Daphne relented and the entire group leaned in to hear what his answer would be.
Everyone watched as Puck whispered three words into Sabrina's ear.
She immediately blushed and whispered something back in his ear.
He pecked her on the cheek.
There was an awkward silence.
Suddenly, Mustardseed broke the silence, "Looks like someone just exchanged the L word"
…
The party was still in full swing.
Mustardseed looked around everywhere for Daphne, but he couldn't find her anywhere. She was always the life of the party. Where was she now?
He spotted a lone figure sitting at the front porch.
Frowning, he opened the door and saw that it was Daphne.
"Hey"
She looked up quickly, and moved over as he sat down next to her.
"Why aren't you in there?"
Daphne sighed.
"It's nothing. I just felt a little lonely in there"
Mustardseed stared at her incredulously.
"Lonely?"
She sighed again.
"There were so many people around me in there, but I just feel so…alone. Especially, when I see people like Puck and Sabrina who have each other."
She completely missed the look she was getting from Mustardseed, as she smoothed down the folds of her new dress, a gift from her mother.
She continued on.
"Wow, I feel so stupid. It's just…I sometimes feel like there's no one there for me. Do you know what I-"
She was cut off by a pair of lips.
Daphne was stunned at first, but slowly she wrapped her arms around Mustardseed's neck.
They pulled apart and Mustardseed smiled,
"Do you still feel so alone?"
Daphne smiled back before leaning in to kiss him again.
"Not so much now"
Okay, it wasn't too great. There was a little bit of Puckabrina and Dapherseed.
Hope you guys liked it.
