Orientation is Evil
Sabrina Grimm picked up a photo from the dresser. She smiled at the memory.
"Hey Daphne do you remember this?" Sabrina called to her sister.
Daphne carefully climbed over the large amounts of boxes on the floor. "Oh yeah," she said peering at the photo. It was a picture of Elvis, their huge Great Dane, licking on of their Christmas decorations: a large lamp post. Poor Elvis had been unlucky enough to lick it on a day that it was below freezing temperature. So, anyone who lives in cold temperature can tell you to what happens when you stick your tongue on something metallic on temperature below freezing. The image showed the Great Dane's frozen tongue being pried of the lamp post by the three kids: Sabrina, Daphne, and Puck.
"We eventually had to get the fire department," Sabrina said laughing.
"Elvis didn't lick anything else for a weak," Daphne said somberly, "You know, we're never going to get done if we keep getting distracted."
Sabrina sighed, "You're right,"
Daphne's orientation was in two days. So, today, Sabrina was helping to pack up Daphne's things before their parents took her to New York City. It was hard for Sabrina to help her sister. Every little thing reminded her of a memory of her and Daphne. All these memories kept reminding Sabrina of how much she was going to miss her sister.
When they finally got done, Daphne, Henry, and Veronica loaded up in the family car.
Daphne hugged Sabrina, "You know, you could come with us."
"Yeah," she said, "But this is your college experience, and you need to do this without me,"
Daphne sighed, "Well, at least you'll have your own room,"
With one more hug, Daphne climbed into the car and they drove away. It crushed Sabrina's heart to say what she did. She wanted badly to say: Sure I'll come! Wait for me to pack my things. But Sabrina knew that if she had, then she would've never let Daphne go.
Sabrina went inside and climbed up the stairs. Her room had never looked so empty. Sure, she hadn't had her own room in twelve years but, it just didn't seem that rewarding without Daphne with her. Lying down on her bed, Sabrina wondered if Daphne had made it to New York okay.
******************************************************************************
Sabrina got away with moping in her room for the next hour before Red came in.
"Sabrina?" Red Riding Hood called peering into the room.
"Yeah,"
"Granny says that dinner is ready," The little girl said.
"Okay." Sabrina sighed and got up.
Red looked at Sabrina sadly. Sabrina knew that Red had been a good friend of Daphne's. They looked to be the same age when they first met but, Red decided that she would rather be a little girl than grow up at the same time as Daphne. However, they still became great friends as they shared times together. If anyone knew what it was like for Sabrina, it was Red.
"Sabrina, you know Daphne wouldn't have wanted you to sulk like this,"
"Yeah," Sabrina said smiling, "She was very anti-sulking,"
"Come on," Red said, "Granny's making something good,"
Sabrina wondered if years of the insane asylum's food had ruined Red's taste buds. Granny's food was not something Sabrina would call good. They were unusual recipes that Granny Relda had collected all over the globe.
"Can I ask you a question?" Red asked in the hallway.
"Sure," Sabrina said.
"How come you're so depressed? Didn't you get used to this when you were at college?"
Sabrina had question this herself over the pass few days. "Well, you see," Sabrina started, "In New York, I really didn't have time to miss Daphne. I had to get everything moved and plan all of my courses. I was rushing all over the place. I worried over Daphne but, I figured that she would be okay with everyone here. Now I have nothing to keep me from missing and worrying about Daphne."
Red started laughing. Sabrina didn't know what was so hysterical. She had just told the truth.
"Um…What's so funny?" Sabrina demanded.
Red tears from her eyes, still laughing. "You sounded just like Daphne did when you went to college," She said.
Sabrina was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"Well, the day that you left for orientation, she kept lying on that bed telling me how worried she was about you."
"She was worried about me,"
Red nodded. "She said that you tended to have bad luck in certain situations."
Sabrina couldn't argue. She'd been turned into a frog, used as an emotion buffet, poisoned, attacked by a Jabberwocky, turned into a goose, ect. It was a miracle that she survived past the fourth grade!
But what surprised her most was the way that they thought the same. Sabrina knew that Daphne wasn't a little kid anymore and that she could take care of herself but, she still worried. Daphne, also, knew that Sabrina was tough but, still worried for her. Sabrina supposed that the side effect for having a sister was that after tons of fights and picking on each other, is that they have to worry for one another.
"Red! Sabrina! Are you coming?" Granny yelled through the house.
Puck then shouted, "Anyone who doesn't come down in five minutes, I call dibs on their food!"
***************************************************************************
Sabrina sighed. She had a feeling that she wouldn't like the food anyway but, she was hungry enough to eat it. Sabrina entered the kitchen with Red, much to Puck's disappointment. The dinner went pretty much the same way it always did. Until, that is, Puck wanted seconds.
About five minutes after dinner started, Puck was finished. Not even looking up he asked, "Hey, old lady, do you have any more in the kitchen?"
Granny looked at him. "Puck there's still some food on the table."
"Huh? How's that? I usually get only one portion from the table-Oh."
Daphne. Daphne always ate a lot at dinner. Sabrina didn't know if she had a high metabolism or what but, the girl could keep up with Puck in an eating contest. With Daphne gone, there was still food on the table. Sabrina instantly missed Daphne. She excused herself from the table.
****************************************************************************
Sabrina tried to be happier than she was but it was no use. So, when Puck went to his room, Sabrina decided that she could talk to him. She walked down the hall and opened the door to Puck's wonderland room. Puck was laying on his trampoline/bed when Sabrina found him.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Do you think Daphne's okay?" Sabrina asked, finally saying the one question that she truly wondered.
"Marshmallow's fine," he said impatiently.
Sabrina wasn't convinced. "But what about all the danger in New York! Like John Silver!" Sabrina still remembered how she was almost killed by the one-legged freak.
"Geeze! You worry like an old mother hen," Puck commented.
"What!" Sabrina was shocked that Puck had said something like that. He had seen her worry over her sister's safety for a long time.
Puck laughed. "Well there's something we haven't seen in a while,"
"What's that?!" Sabrina asked still mad from his last comment.
"You not sad," Puck flashed one of his mischievous smiles, "You've been sad all day. Now, making you mad is my specialty. So, I figure making you mad is better than making you sad."
Sabrina was stunned. Was it that obvious that she was sad?
"Now," Puck said, "the way I see it is that we have two options,"
"Oh, yah?"
"Option one is that we kidnap Marshmallow. But, I don't think she'll like that nor do I think it's legal"
"Since when do you care about what's legal or not?" Sabrina asked laughing.
Puck rolled his eyes. "Option two is that you realize that your sister's a big girl with a black belt and a magic wand in her suitcase. I think she can take care of herself."
"I know she can, but- wait I thought my dad prohibited her from using any magic at college? He checked all the bags"
"Oh, I helped her sneak it in."
Sabrina rolled her eyes. With Puck, this wasn't surprising. She was about to reply when her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Sabrina?"
"Daphne?" Puck leaned in closer to hear.
"Hi! I'm just calling to tell you that we got to New York safely,"
"Oh, you did. Thank you but, you didn't have to call just for that,"
"Yes! You did!" Puck yelled into the phone, "All your sister does is sulk!"
Sabrina pushed him away from the phone. "Was that Puck? What did he say about sulking?"
"Nothing," Sabrina lied.
"Riiiiiiiiiiight. Anyways, I called because I know that you worry, even if you don't say so."
"Oh" That was all that she could say.
"Well, I'll call you sometime soon and I'll see you for Christmas!" Sabrina could almost see her sister's excitement.
"Okay,"
"Bye"
"Bye"
Puck smiled at Sabrina, "Better now?"
She leaned on the fairy boy. "Yep,"
Puck leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Good,"
"You know," he said, "with all the fuss you Grimms make over this orientation, you'd think it was evil,"
