I don't quite like this chapter as much as the previous two but I've spent two hours writing, so hope you can enjoy it and don't forget to review. FYI, Veronica and Henry have actually gone on vacation with their new born child to New York City so they won't be present in the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Sisters Grimm series.
"It seems that we are going on a trip to Neverland!" Daphne squealed.
"Daphne, you're mucho smarto!" cried Sabrina, hugging her sister tightly. The Grimm sisters were both Peter Pan addicts since they were 6 and 2, snuggling at the couch to watch the Peter Pan cartoon and reciting every single line of conversations whenever they were free. However, it never occurred to Sabrina that mermaids were one of the characters in the story and might have something to do with their current case. Now that they got a new lead, there was a problem. How were they supposed to get two Everafters to Neverland without making a hole on the barrier?
"Good! That means I'm out of this crap!" Puck cried, jumping up and down hysterically. "Don't be happy too soon fairyboy, I'll find a way to get you and Rodney there, no matter what it takes. You know we'll never leave you behind when we all go to visit your 'best friend'- Peter Pan." Sabrina mocked. At those words, the Trickster King stomped the floor as if he were an unsatisfied child.
"Let's go to Mirror's room to see what we can do." Daphne said and all four started climbing up the stairs. Puck and Daphne were the first to get to the second floor followed by Sabrina who turned round to talk to Rodney. However, the boy, who was clumsy with his legs, tripped and landed on top of Sabrina with his lips gently touching hers. Before Rodney could get up, Puck had already grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up. The three teenagers' faces were burning; one was furious while the other two were embarrassed. Puck pushed the half merman hardly on the wall. "Don't you dare do that again. Try, and you'll find a body part missing." Puck growled, still clutching onto the poor boy's shirt. "Leave him alone, Puck, it was just an accident. And since when did you even care!"Sabrina yelled.
Puck released the boy and stammered. He didn't know why he had made such a great fuss about it, he knew he didn't like Grimm, but did he love her? That was not possible. She had been consistently bothering him about this and that, challenging him of his superiority and even questioning his villainy. However it was still a well-known fact that he had risked his life many times to rescue her. He blushed at his thoughts, but soon recovered and turned to Rodney, "Stay in line and you won't be bothered." Then they all went into Mirror's room in silence.
Since the Scarlet Hand incident, Bunny Lancaster aka the Evil Queen, replaced the old mirror with a new one which was a lot more luxurious with a shopping mall, hotel rooms and a long corridor just like the old one which stored all the magical items the Grimms have collected through the years. The new guardian was a Frenchman named Franz and had a strong accent, "Bonjour children! May I offer my service?" "Yes Franz, we would like to ask if we could get to Neverland through one of those mirrors in the mirror room." Daphne asked sweetly. She was really fond of the new guardian and was enjoying his sexy accent. "Of course. I believe there is a magic mirror on Captain Hook's ship, so you all can get there easily." "But won't that violate the barrier rules?" Rodney asked, talking for the very first time after Puck's assault. "Oh, no it won't. Neverland actually belongs to another dimension so Everafters can go there too." "That's just great. Now I get to meet my 'friend'" Puck replied sarcastically.
"The sun is setting. We can't leave now so we will go tomorrow." Sabrina said, remembering that Rodney's leg would be turning back into fins and they also had to tell Granny about the plan. "Could I stay here tonight?" Rodney asked. He would rather be threatened than to go home and face his moody mother. "Of course, Rodney. Would you need anything?" Daphne replied, knowing that Granny would be cool about it. "I just need a tub of water and a jar of salt." Rodney answered. It was kind of a weird answer, but Daphne still ran out to fulfill his requests. "I think Granny has come back, maybe we can go down and inform her about the present situation." Sabrina said, breaking the silence as the atmosphere was awfully awkward with Puck staring at the other two teenagers. They went downstairs to find Granny cooking dinner already. Even though Sabrina had never been a fan of Granny's cooking, her tummy was roaring and her mouth was watering. After all, the four children had skipped lunch doing research.
When Sabrina had reported to Granny about the whole situation, the old lady gave Rodney a welcoming hug and agreed to let him stay overnight so that they can get a good long rest before next day's adventure. They had a quiet dinner at the table (Rodney was having his meal in the bathtub, eating salt and soaking his fins in the water); nobody spoke, not even Daphne who usually was the most hyperactive one. The only sound made were occasional whining from Elvis and Puck swallowing his food without chewing, his bad mood clearly had not affected his appetite. When all cleaning up was done, they headed back to their bedrooms.
Sabrina now had her own bedroom because Uncle Jake moved out to live with Briar so Daphne had occupied his old bedroom. Lying on the bed, the blonde girl could not sleep at all; her head was aching with all the thinking about her love-hate relationship with Puck. Of course they have had fights all the time but they were only the way how the two teens "flirted" with each other and she sometimes even enjoyed them. However, the afternoon event clearly showed that Puck was really hurt and furious about the whole Rodabrina thing (new word created by me, it's something like Puckabrina) although it was only an accident. Sabrina may have liked Rodney since he was cute but he was still nothing compared to Puck in every aspect. "I will tell Puck to forgive me." Sabrina thought, making her way to Puck's room. She knocked the door and went in, closing the door gently behind her.
"Puck, are you asleep? I have something to tell you."
Hope you liked it. I think there's definitely more romance or you may say, jealousy in this chapter. Thank you for all your support in reading this story.
