Axel Treehorn: Sure! :)
Hello Goodbye, The Beatles
Puck doesn't know why he and Sabrina argue so much. He honestly doesn't want to. He... well, he wants to spend time with her. To have fun, to be friends, to... well, some of what he wants to do he's not even comfortable admitting to himself, but it's very mushy.
But somehow he always says the wrong thing, and she gets mad. He even knows he's going to do it sometimes. He gets this close to saying something nice, but part of him won't let himself do it. He just can't be soft. Not even around her, the girl he apparently trusts more than anyone else in the world.
She's not exactly soft, either, though. She's prickly as a cactus, to be honest. And she's not very good at admitting her feelings, either. She does stuff that drives him crazy, and then he flips out.
He usually ends up regretting that afterwards.
And they don't agree on anything. If she has an opinion, it's almost guranteed he'll think it's totally wrong. And the same if he thinks something.
He seriously doesn't know why he likes her this much, to be honest. She's a jerk, and they're probably about the worst duo in the world. But they still... Well, sometimes he thinks there's something there.
Like right now, they're just sitting together in silence. It's the only time they really get along, when they don't talk.
Ticket to Ride, The Beatles
Puck couldn't believe Sabrina was just... leaving. Just going back to NYC. Just because her parents were back awake now, just because her dad had gone crazy trying to get them to "safety" in the stupidest possible way... That didn't mean she should up and leave!
So what if her parents were all she'd wanted for the past two years? What about him?
He'd actually thought she kind of enjoyed his company recently, to be honest. And it hurt, that she was just leaving. Just like that.
She was going to follow her dad through the woods and take a train back to her old home and leave him behind forever. And she didn't even seem too upset.
If he hadn't been sure it would be embarrassing, he'd have said something nice. But he'd never been nice. Didn't know how. So he just watched her leave, like she didn't care about him at all.
Chemicals React, Aly and AJ
Puck had this ability to knock Sabrina off balance, just like that. He'd say one thing, and her entire argument would fall apart.
Sure, sometimes she could get him back, set him right, but he had this way of breaking through whatever stupid thing she was thinking at the moment and showing her what she should be thinking instead.
She loves it a bit, and she definitely appreciates it. It's nice that he's not letting her be stupid, since she doesn't listen to other people who try to set her straigth too often (Daphne and Granny sometimes, her parents almost never), but she also hates it a little bit. She feels stupid sometimes, the way he can see straight through her like she's simple.
But still. She needs him.
No One, Aly and AJ
It takes Daphne a long time to figure out who she is. For a little while, she thought she wanted to be just like Sabrina. Then she realized Sabrina was the kind of person who would lie to her, and she decided she wanted to be nothing like her big sister.
Then she thought she wanted to be like her mother. But she realized her mom had done the same thing: lied to someone who trusted her, for years. And she thought maybe her mom and Sabrina had had reasons, but she still didn't want to be like that. She finally understood their reasons, but it didn't make things okay.
Then she thought she wanted to be like Snow. But Snow didn't like to lean on other people, and Daphne didn't think that was smart.
And Briar had loved someone so much she couldn't live without him.
And Granny... Granny was a little bit crazy.
So Daphne decided to just be herself.
Flattery, Aly and AJ
"Hi," Goldie says to Henry.
Henry looks at her and blinks. "Hi." They haven't spoken since she woke him up, really, even though the war's been over for three days, and they've spent the past few hours working next to each other, cleaning up the wreckage.
"I..." Goldie says softly, "I think we should try to be friends. I need to get over you, and if you won't talk to me, I don't think I'll be able to."
Henry laughs a little. "All right," he agrees.
They've both hurt each other a lot. He blamed her for his dad's death, and he said a lot of things to her that he shouldn't have said. It wasn't really her fault, but he needed someone to blame, and Jake was already blaming himself. He couldn't hurt his brother that way. And in a sense, it was Goldie's fault. A little.
But he hurt her. He'd yelled at her and just left her alone in the world. And she never got over him. They destroyed each other. And she didn't have someone to build her back up.
So he guesses he owes her this. He needs to help her put herself back together. Even if the'll never be more than friends again.
Goldie smiles. "So where to we begin?" she asks.
Henry shrugs. "Tell me what you've been doing," he says. It's as good a place as any.
Mountain Song, Of Monsters and Men
The time Aly runs away with Parker is one of the best times of her life. She's told him what she is, that she's not human, and he's more accepting than she ever expected. He doesn't break up with her again or cal her crazy or anything like that. He thinks it's cool.
And he suggests they run away because his parents will never understand.
Aly's been pretty upset with her mom as it is, so she agrees. She doesn't think for a second about how much it'll hurt her family, or how much she doesn't know about what she is.
They just run, going through the woods, climbing mount Taurus, and they're happy.
They meet some other wanderers, and they talk. But the others aren't like them. They aren't young or in love. And they aren't nocturnal the way she and Parker are.
It doesn't matter. They only need each other, after all. Parker is perfect for her, and now that they're alone in the woods together, he stops trying to leave her.
But then they run out of food and summer's over and it's cold, and when her father appears in their campsite, they go back far more willingly than expected.
True Love, Pink
Daphne is pretty sure that all of Puck and Sabrina's fighting means they're in love. After all, they fight a lot, but they always come back to each other. And Daphne sees them laughing with each other right now.
She imagines that inside they're pretty conflicted- they've both got this crazy amount of pride, and they can't admit that they care about someone, can't admit to that kind of weakness. Especially not about each other. They're too alike and too different at the same time, and it makes it harder.
But Daphne can see it. She knows that nobody can twist them the way they twist each other. Puck's never cried in front of Daphne, after all. And they get along great. And Puck is the one who can talk sense into Sabrina when she's being an idiot again. Daphne used to be able to do that, but not anymore.
And they're the only ones who can hurt each other, too. So they have to be in love. Because otherwise it's just a mess. And Daphne couldn't bear it if her sister and the boy who's the closest thing she has to a big brother were really toxic for each other. They have to be in love. Otherwise it'll just be too sad.
Besides, they'll learn to get along eventually, right?
Yeah.
They have to.
Pulled, The Addams Family Musical
Bella has always kind of felt like she's being pulled in two different directions. She knows she's an Everafter, and she was told for years that if anyone knew what she really was, they'd call her a monster, with her frog form. Even she thinks it's disgusting.
But she also wants to have actual friends. Friends other than Toby and Natalie, who are really more like siblings than anything else. After all, she was raised right alongside them. And Toby's weird, and Natalie... well, the girl isn't exactly brilliant.
She wants both. She wants to be accepted as she is with friends who like what she likes, but she's afraid.
The One that Got Away, Katy Perry
In an alternate universe, Sabrina and Bradley stayed together. They were happy. Puck showed up at her wedding and she turned him down flat- she wanted Bradley, and she was going to have Bradley. Because what was important was building a life together, not emotional highs. And she and Bradley had built something while Puck was gone.
She was happy. She didn't get old, really- she aged to about thirty, and then had Daphne give her a glamour that made it look like she was actually getting older, but her sister was able to talk her out of actually getting old for Bradley. Besides, Sabrina had more to live for than her husband.
They never had the passionate highs and lows that she and Puck had, but they were happy together. Content. Comfortable. They had three kids, and after a long time, Bradley got old and died, and Sabrina mourned him.
But she wasn't completely heartbroken. She coped, and then she got over him.
And then Puck came back again. He hadn't changed a bit, though he was angry at her.
And they built something together. And neither of the men she'd loved ever got away from her, because she knew how to be happy. And it wasn't fair how much happiness she got.
It's Me, It's You, Ross Lynch
Sabrina and Puck have always been opposites. But they've always kind of been cool with that, Pinocchio thinks. He's a bit jealous. He and Daphne are just as opposite, and they can't get along at all.
Of course, Relda says that Sabrina and Puck used to have enormous trouble getting along when they were younger. And Pinocchio does remember this, but he also sees that at the end of the day, they have each other's back- literally, sometimes, as they stand back to back in the middle of a crowd of hobgoblins, Puck breathing fire at them and Sabrina throwing knives with her left hand while using a sword in her right.
Daphne has a wand and is protecting some of their schoolmates, and he wishes he could be there to watch her back, wishes they got along like Puck and Sabrina, who long ago gave up on agreeing with each other, but they're not, and he and Red are hiding in the trees shooting at the enemies and it's just hopeless.
Into the Rush, Aly and AJ
Sabrina doesn't know how to explain what it's like when she and Puck are running from something.
It's when she thinks she really falls in love with him. Oh, they've been dating on and off for about six months now, but she knows she loves him when she's running through a cave underneath Ferryport Landing, holding Puck's hand because apparently she's faster than he is when he can't fly, and they're running from the witch's monster with the cool air on their faces, pushing through her hair, and they're laughing with each other because she said something too sarcastic for the witch to let them live, but she couldn't pass it up.
It's perfect.
Really, it is. She's in love and she's not going to die, no matter what that witch says. They're both going to get out of here alive, and then she'll maybe tell him that she can stand him.
She won't tell him she loves him, of course. She doesn't want to scare him off.
And today is the best day of her life.
Magic, Pilot
Really, Daphne thinks, life is wonderful.
Everything is wonderful. Magic exists in the world, and her father is letting her learn how to use it, she lives two blocks from one of the biggest groups of Everafters in the United States, it's a beautiful Saturday morning, and she doesn't have to get up for her lesson for another hour.
Sabrina is happy, her parents are happy, Basil is happy, the rest of her family are only a phone call away, and she has friends. She has more friends and family than she ever thought she'd have.
She's learned to protect herself, she's learning how to use magic, and she's learning how to feel beautiful. How to be beautiful.
Plus, Kenny Fredrickson asked her out for ice cream, and even if she's only eleven, she's still plenty old enough to go out for dessert with a cute boy.
Everything is excellent.
Glory and Gore, Lorde
Sabrina and Puck are getting ready for the Everafter War II, and they don't like it. This time it's public; this time everyone knows about it, even the humans. This time they're being hated for it.
But the new Scarlet Hand has their children, and these two are determined to rescue them. They're determined to save the world, of course, but Sabrina is honestly kind of sick of being the one people turn to to save the world, and she definitely hates the looks her neighbors are giving her now that they've found out she's got something to do with the people who are taking over the world, when her daughters' friends' parents realize that she doesn't just look young, she will never look old.
But she's going to save them all anyway (or as many of them as she can), and she's going to get her children back. And Veronica is doing her part to prove that not all Everafters are evil. In the end, a lot of these people will either be dead or be eternally grateful to her and Puck for keeping them alive.
And they'll just be trying to live with the lives they'll have taken.
The Love Club, Lorde
Daphne's school has a problem with cliques. They girls, particularly, group up like crazy. She hates it, and she knows a lot of the other kids do, too. Because she's made friends with a lot of them, but most of them won't talk to her in school because they're afraid their friends will get mad at them for hanging out with someone in a different club.
Daphne thinks this is stupid. Even if she thought that stuff like this made sense, even if she believed mutual interests made friendships, she's been through too much in her short life to let cliques define her. She's going to make friends with everyone she likes. No matter what.
And she tells her friends this, points out that any friend who will shun them for liking to skateboard and read and wear pretty clothes is probably not the kind of friend they'll really want.
And eventually enough of them agree with her that they make their own clique: the love club. Anyone can join this. They just have to be nice and friendly and not want to hurt anybody else.
Queen, Don't Stop Me Now (someone suggested I do another Queen song, but [s]he didn't say which one, so I just searched youtube for Queen and did the first one that came up. Surprised it wasn't Bohemian Rhapsody, but also a bit glad, 'cause that's a HECK of a long song. Still, it would have been fun.)
Puck and Sabrina have broken up, and this time he's pretty sure she means it for real (they break up a lot- they argue and one of them says something along the lines of "well if you feel that way, then why don't you just leave!" and the other one responds with "I will!" and storms out. Usually they get back together a few days later). He's not actually unhappy about it, though, this time.
Because she wanted to get married, and that's not what he wants right now. That's what the fight was about. She told him to go be immature and she was going to grow up.
And he's as happy as can be. He doesn't want to grow up. Let her be mature and graduate and go to law school and all that, he's going to go have fun.
So much fun.
There's no stopping him now. He's going to go see the world (again), he's going to pull pranks on everyone in the world, he's going to be the best prankster ever, living off his brother's money, and he's going to enjoy it.
He's not going to go to school and get a job like Sabrina wants at all. He thinks that's stupid.
And he's going to enjoy this.
AN~ Well, that's the end of it. It's a little shorter than most 'cause I was going to do some songs with my iPod but then I lost it somewhere so that didn't happen. And I'm done.
... Unless I decide to do a Skillet-centric chapter in celebration of my favorite band and all their daddy issues songs. And one or two other songs of my own choosing. And possibly with my iPod once I find it. But I'm not sure when or if that will happen.
