A/N: This is another short one, just a follow- up to some earlier scenes.
"Jake! Wait up! I need to ask you a question."
Puck caught up to Jake at the front door.
"Hurry up, Puck," Jake said, "I have to go see Jason Baum." (L. Frank Baum is the author of The Wizard of Oz.)
"Um, okay, sure. So, what's puberty?"
"Well, ah, would you look at the time! Gotta go, gotta go. Bye!" Jake jumped into his car and drove off.
What did I say? thought Puck as he went back inside the house. Guess he had to go ask Mr. Canis now. He wasn't as likely to run off.
"Mr. Canis?"
"Yes, boy?" The old man looked up from reading something by - Puck squinted - by Stephen Hawkins. Wonder who that is?
"Mr. Canis, what's puberty? Nobody would tell me." Puck said.
"Oh?" Mr. Canis said, raising an eyebrow, "I don't blame them. So you see, Puck, puberty is when you grow into a man, and you get pimples and grow hair everywhere, even on your-"
[CENSORED]
About half an hour later, Puck stumbled out gagging. People did that! He thought of random people doing it. He thought of his parents doing it. Ew... He thought of Sabrina and him do-
OH, ICK! NO! DO NOT THINK THAT!
The most interesting thing, however, was the fact that he got puberty even though he was a fairy. Then and again, fairies were not born from a baby's laugh, no matter what Peter Pan claimed.
"Puck?" Daphne ran into him on the stairs. "What's wrong? You look a little red."
"Nothing," Puck muttered before dashing down the stairs and turning into a dog so nobody would ask him anymore questions.
"Puck?" This voice was...different. Puck was pretty sure he's never heard it before.
"Who's there?" he barked tentatively.
"It's me, Elvis." The family dog trotted out of the kitchen. Immediately, Puck wished he had made himself a bigger dog. Elvis had to practically lay down to be snout-to-snout with the little golden retriever. Elvis suddenly took a sniff, and said,
"Ah. So you've learned about making puppies."
Puck had spent enough time as a dog to know that they can smell fear, anger, and other emotions, but he never thought it would work for embarrassment too.
Rather then having to answer that, he morphed into a cockroach and skittered off.
Meanwhile:
Sabrina was rummaging around for a copy of The Twelve Dancing Princesses when she came across an unfortunately familiar box. It brought back horrible memories of disgusting, exploding glop. It was, of course, Puck's "gift". Sabrina picked it up and was about to throw it away when something in it thumped. She looked inside the box, but couldn't see anything. She shook it. There it was again. Thump. It sounded like something was sliding around in there. Sabrina studied the box again, this time more closely, which was when she saw the bit of string in the corner. She pulled at it, and the false bottom of the box came up.
Underneath was a silver bangle studded with various color gems. There was no note, no card, but Sabrina knew what it was for.
She put it on next to her blue silly band of a fairy.
