Hey people! Thanks so much for the great reviews I got for chapter 3. You guys are so awesome! Anyway, here's chapter 4. R&R!

The trio landed in front of the Grimm house about five minutes later and began to walk towards the house in silence. When they were up to the door, Puck opened it, but instead of just walking right in like he would usually do, he held the door for Sabrina just as Nick had done at gym that day.

Sabrina gave him an uncertain smile. "Uh.. Thanks."

They were met inside by Elvis and Uncle Jake. Elvis immediately jumped on top of Daphne apparently having missed her while she was at school. Daphne laughed as Uncle Jake walked over to them.

"How was school?" he asked.

Sabrina shrugged. "It was OK, I guess," she said, plopping herself on the couch.

They looked at Puck for an answer. He shuddered over dramatically. "Ugh."

Sabrina rolled her eyes then turned back to Uncle Jake. "Anyway, some new friends wanted to know if I could hang out with them after school tomorrow at the gym."

"I didn't think girls at your school would be too athletic," he said in a puzzled voice.

Daphne laughed and Puck once again turned an unusual shade of scarlet. Sabrina blushed. "Well, um, I didn't exactly say they were all girls..."

Uncle Jake looked at her with an amused expression. "You mean a few guys and some girls?"

Sabrina turned an even deeper shade of red. "Well, not exactly."

His amusement faded and his face became grim.

Sabrina continued to stutter in an attempt to get her uncle to give in. "But they're really nice guys! We met in gym and we fought with swords and we talked and they were friendly!"

"So let me get this straight: A couple of friendly seventh grade boys armed with swords that could easily kill you asked you to stay around after school when no adults are around to supervize?"

Puck snickered triumphantly, but Sabrina kept trying. "When you put it that way it sounds really bad, but trust me! Please, Uncle Jake! I really-"

"Nope."

"But-"

"Nuh-uh."

"I can-"

"No way!"

"But Uncle Jake!"

Just then the phone rang. Jake took that opportunity to leave the room and end the conversation. Puck snickered again. "Too bad, Grimm. But look on the bright side. You can put that time towards more important things like finishing our project."

Sabrina glared at him. "Listen, bub. I never agreed to be your partner and Nick is still free. So I suggest you-"

Just then Uncle Jake's slightly irritated voice came from the kitchen. "'Brina, the phone's for you!"

Daphne smiled and winked at her. "Ooh, who could that be?"

Sabrina rolled her eyes, but couldn't suppress a grin. She ran to the kitchen and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Sabrina. It's Chris."

"Hey, Chris. What's up?"

"Well, I know we're already going to get together with the other guys tomorrow, but I wanted to know if you wanted to meet me at Sacred Grounds in about an hour."

"Uh..." Sabrina peeked out the door to make sure no one was listening. "Sure. I'll see you then."

"Cool. See ya." And they hung up.

The minute Sabrina entered the living room Puck and Uncle Jake stared holes into her.

Sabrina looked around nervously. "Uh, hi?"

Uncle Jake continued staring. "Who was that?"

Sabrina immediately came up with a story to get out of the house. She smiled sweetly at her uncle. "That was Chris, but don't worry. I told him I can't meet him tomorrow."

Uncle Jake relaxed. "Good."

But Sabrina continued,"Uncle Jake, since I'm not going to meet the guys tomorrow, do you think I could go see some of the girls I met today at Sacred Grounds? You don't even have to drive me! Really! I'll just take the carpet."

Uncle Jake looked uncertain for a minute, but then gave in. "All right, 'Brina. Just be home for six."

"Thanks, Uncle Jake! You're the best!" Sabrina then noticed Daphne smirking at her and also sensed Puck's disapproval. Before they could spill the beans to Uncle Jake that Sabrina didn't have any girl friends, she dragged them upstairs to her room. She slammed the door behind them.

Daphne continued to smirk. "So what did you really say on the phone?"

Sabrina glared at her. "OK, so I'm not going to meet some girls. But Uncle Jake can't know that and neither can Granny! So I need you two to keep it quiet."

For the first time since they got home, Puck looked Sabrina directly in the eye. "Who are you going to meet?"

Sabrina looked down at her feet. "It's none of your business," she said quietly.

He didn't give up. "Tell me who or I'll tell your uncle!"

"Ugh! Fine! It's Chris and he wants to meet at Sacred Grounds, just the two of us! Happy?"

"Not if you're going with him," Puck said so quietly Sabrina couldn't hear him.

She looked puzzled. "What?"

"Nothing, but I'll make you a deal. Do the whole project for both of us and I won't tell."

"No way! I-"

"Jake!" Puck yelled.

"FINE!" Sabrina shouted, sure that steam was coming out of her ears.

Just then to Sabrina's horror, Granny Relda came into the room to put some of Sabrina's laundry away. "Is everything alright, liebling?" she asked.

Sabrina managed a small smile. "Everything's fine, Granny."

"So, your uncle told me that your going to meet some friends this afternoon."

Sabrina put on her sweet voice again as Puck pushed her aside and stormed out of the room. "Yeah, and I have another favor to ask you."

"What's that?"

"Do you think you could pick me up from school at five tomorrow? They're having a meeting for those who want to join, uh.. the volleyball team."

"It lasts that long?"

Sabrina shuffled her feet nervously. She was doing a lot of lying. "Well, they have to hand out a lot of forms and they were going to try to find time to show us the basics."

Sabrina worried for a second that her grandmother would see right through her, but Granny just smiled. "Of course, liebling. I'll be there at five."

Sabrina sighed in relief and hugged her. "Thanks, Granny." Then she left the room.

Sabrina collapsed on her bed. "I am way in over my head," she said to herself.

Half an hour later, Sabrina was getting on the magic carpet. It was almost as bad as flying with Puck.

"OK, Carpet. Take me to Sacred Grounds."

The carpet immediately jerked off the ground and towards the cafe. A few minutes later it landed behind the building so that no one would see. Sabrina stowed it behind a bush and walked to the front doors of the building where she found Chris waiting for her.

He smiled. "Hey."

Chris seemed a little uneasy and his smile was a nervous one. Sabrina smiled back. "Hey. What's up?"

"Nothing much. You want a muffin or something?"

"Sure," she said as they walked inside.

The smell of caffeine filled the building and the whole place had a warm feeling about it. Chris relaxed a little. "So who's your partner for the history report?"

Sabrina groaned. "Puck."

Chris laughed. "What's wrong with Puck?"

"Well, he said it himself. He's 'not into this whole school thing.'"

He laughed again. "Who is? But i guess you have to do it. Why don't you grab a table and I'll get in line?"

"OK." Sabrina scanned the crowded coffee shop and found a table towards the far wall. She walked over to the table and that's when the first sign came. She felt an invisible force hit her ankle, forcing her to lean on the wall, but she managed to keep quiet. What the heck was that? she asked herself. She limped over to her table and sat down. She rested her throbbing ankle on the seat opposite her as Chris came over and placed a blueberry muffin in front of her.

"Thanks," she said as he sat down next to her.

"No problem. You're still staying after school tomorrow right?"

She smiled confidently. "Definitely."

"Cool. Hey, um, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure. Ask away."

The nervous expression he had when Sabrina first arrived returned to his face and Sabrina could have sworn he was breaking a sweat. "See, there's going to be a 'Back to School Dance' this Saturday and everyone's going with someone. I really condsider you just as a good friend, but as a good friend, would you mind going with me?"

Sabrina smiled at the thought of having a best friend. She really felt the same way as he did. She didn't want to be romanticly involved at that moment, so she was happy to oblige. "I'd really like going with you."

He let out a breath of relief. Sabrina thought it was really cute that he was nervous about asking her. "Cool," he said, obviously happy that she had said yes. For the next hour they joked and laughed and when they were finally done, Chris walked her outside.

She beamed. "I really had fun tonight."

He seemed just as happy as Sabrina was. "Same here. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Yeah. See you then." Then they hugged good-bye. It wasn't romantic or uncomfortable. Just a friendly hug. They waved and went their seperate ways. Sabrina turned and almost missed the blue-eyed shaggy dog that was watching her from under a table. Almost. Without missing a beat, she lunged at it and caught it by the hair on top of its head. Sabrina dragged the dog into the alley where no one was watching and the yelping dog transformed into a very frustrated fairy.

"Ow! OW! Okay, okay! Uncle!"

"What are you doing here?" Sabrina growled, letting go of his hair.

"Keeping an eye on you."

"Well you don't have to. I'm perfectly fine." Sabrina suddenly realized that Puck might have heard Chris ask her to the dance. She blushed and asked, "Um.. How much of our conversation did you hear?"

"Everything while you were outside, nothing while you were inside." Then he noticed that she was blushing and asked,"Why?"

Sabrina breathed a sigh of relief. "No reason."

But Puck didn't give in that easily. "Tell me!"

Sabrina started to walk over to where she hid the carpet. "Seriously, Puck, it's nothing!"

Puck was turning scarlet again. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately. "Tell me or I'll tell your uncle and the old lady what you were really doing tonight!"

Fearing that Puck might explode, Sabrina gave in. "Fine! But keep it down, OK? Well... Chris asked me to the Back to School Dance."

Puck just got angrier. "WHAT?"

"B-but just as friends!"

Puck continued to glare at her for a few moments, but then calmed himself. "OK," he said quietly.

Sabrina grabbed the magic carpet, glad Puck hadn't taken things too far with the whole Chris thing. "OK then. I guess I'll see you at home."

Puck was about to sprout his insect-like wings when he had a thought. "You mind if I ride with you?"

Sabrina looked at him in a puzzled way. "What? Why can't you fly?"

Puck shrugged. "I don't know. My wings are tired. And I've never really been on a magic carpet before."

Sabrina looked puzzled for a few more moments, but then said,"Fine. Just don't pull any tricks while we're in the air, OK?"

Puck smiled triumphantly. "Sure."

Sabrina spread the carpet on the ground and sat in front of Puck. Then they took off, but not before Puck affectionately slipped a surprisingly strong arm around Sabrina's waist. Something about the action lowered Sabrina's defenses. Half-way through the ride home, Puck still had his arm around Sabrina's waist and Sabrina was getting tired, so she leaned back against his chest for the rest of the way. Puck didn't seem to mind at all. He just smiled wider and welcomed the gesture.

She looked up at him when he looked away and admired his features. He really is kind of cute. I guess I can see why the girls at school fall for him... Sabrina blinked a few times and mentally scolded herself. Puck was just a friend, kind of like a brother...

When the carpet landed on the front lawn around six o' clock, Puck got up and offered Sabrina his hand. She took it and he helped her up. When they got inside, Granny was in the kitchen making what looked like some kind of glowing soup.

Sabrina walked into the kitchen. "Hey, Granny," she said.

Granny looked up from her cooking. "Hello, liebling. Did you have fun with your friends?"

"Hm?... Oh.. Yeah, I did," she said, almost giving herself away.

"Well why don't you and Puck start on that report you two are working on? Dinner should be ready soon."

"Who told you about the report?" Sabrina didn't like it when Granny Relda knew about her homework. She would drive Sabrina crazy with all the nagging. 'Sabrina, have you finished your homework yet?' would pop out of her mouth what seemed like every five minutes.

Granny didn't answer. She just waved her back towards the living room. Sabrina went upstairs to her room and got some paper out of her schoolbag. Then she realized that Puck would at least need to know what the project was about, which meant having to confront him. Sabrina sighed and headed over to Puck's "room." She knocked for what seemed like hours until he finally came to the door.

"May I help you?" he said with a slightly irritated voice.

Sabrina rolled her eyes. "Listen, Puck. I know I agreed to do the project for us, but for the teacher not to find out, you will at least need to know what the project is about."

Puck glared at her, but let her in anyway. As she always did, Sabrina inspected the ground for any traps. She chose to sit down near the river and Puck sat down next to her. "How long will this take?"

"Not long. I promise."

Sabrina couldn't hear him, but Puck quietly grumbled to himself, "Darn."

Sabrina looked up at Puck. "So I was thinking that the report should be on the migration that the Everafters and the Grimms made from Europe to America on Neuer Anfang. I mean the New Beginning. Of course we won't mention that they were actually Everafters."

Puck seemed very uninterested. "Sure."

Sabrina was satisfied with how long it took her to decide on a subject with Puck. "OK then. I'm done here," she said, heading towards the door. She walked out into the hall and heard Granny call,"Dinner!"

Great, Sabrina thought sarcastically as she decended the stairs. She sat down to the same glowing soup Granny had been making when she walked in. After a few spoonfuls of the soup, which tasted like guacamole and maple syrup, Sabrina pushed her bowl away and figured she could wait until breakfast. Daphne and Puck, however, didn't even look at what they were eating. Uncle Jake didn't seem to have a problem with it either. Sabrina wondered if they even tasted it. Disgusted by their manners, Sabrina said, "I think I'll go take a shower and get to bed."

Granny smiled at her. "OK then, liebling. Good night."

"Good night," she said back. Sabrina walked up the stairs and into the shower. The hot water felt good on her skin. Being in the shower always gave her much needed peace and time to think. She thought about how she went to Sacred Grounds with Chris and then her mind wondered to the invisible force that seemed to push her out of nowhere. She decided it was probably nothing and got out of the shower. Pretty soon she was in her bed, thinking about all the lies she had made just to be with friends.

"It's all worth it," Sabrina whispered to herself. But deep down she knew that it wasn't.

OK, I know the chapters keep getting longer and less eventful, and I'm sorry! But unless you want this story to be a billion chapters long, I'll have to keep writing long but slightly boring sections. So R&R and I'm already working on the next chapter so it should be up soon (hopefully). Thanks for reading!
