Sabrina's POV
"C'mon kiddo," Uncle Jake called as he jogged up the long walk way leading to my doom.
I didn't want this and Daphne knew this. I couldn't walk into that room dressed as a fluffy princess. That wasn't me. Daphne, maybe, but not me. My idea of a great birthday party is my friends and I in a pizza parlor outside of town.
I felt a soft nudge and realized that Granny was trying to coax me into the castle.
You're not doing this for you, I thought, this is for Daphne.
I hiked up my skirt and followed Uncle Jake to the large brass doors, where I once again lost the courage to go into the building packed with people.
Not only was I afraid of falling in these damn heels, I was afraid that all the people inside were going to laugh when I did.
Right before I was going to turn around and run for it, the door to the manor opened and I heard," Here she is, the beautiful, Sabrina Veronica Grimm, celebrating her twenty- third birthday."
My head whipped around to see the man who had announced my name.
There I saw my father, who I hadn't seen in over ten years. Tears started falling from my eyes when he came up the stairs to greet me while everyone turned to me and applauded.
"Happy birthday, baby girl," he whispered to me as we held on to each other.
I heard Daphne squeal and felt how she pounced on him.
I squirmed away from the family reunion and turned so I could find out who brought my father hear.
After three hours of searching, I retired to the lounge with the beads hanging in the doorway. Not soon after I had lay on the couch and shut my eyes, Puck came into the room and sat on the couch across from me.
"There are people out there looking for you."
"I just sat down."
He laughed, "Well, that's how it works when you are considered royalty."
"How am I considered royalty?"
"Well," he started, "You saved Ferryport Landing and you have been a real help to my father's kingdom. That's why people should gift you the way that you have been gifting them."
He picked himself up and left the room leaving me to think about what he said.

I made my way around the party topping at Mustardseed and Moth to say hello. Mustarded welcomed me and wished me a happy birthday while Moth glared.
"Okay," Puck said on the microphone, "While I was walking around this fine party, I noticed a lonely father who told me that he wanted to spend more time with his daughters. So, I want everybody who brought a parent to get them and take them for a spin on the dance floor."
He jumped off of the podium and pushed Daphne at my father and motioned me over. Once we were situated, he ran over to Queen Titania and pulled her to the dance floor.
I thought that this was a really nice gesture from Puck but I hadn't seen him talk to my father all night.

When we got home, I made my way to my room to get these clothes off and take a shower.
After pulling on some shorts and a cami, I made my way to Puck's room. He was sitting on a rock, still in his suit and his hair covering his eyes, reminding me of a brooding stranger.
"It was you, wasn't it?" I asked.
"' I am that merry wanderer of the night,'" he said,"' I jest to Oberon and make him smile
When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile, Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: And sometime lurk I in a gossip's bowl, In very likeness of a roasted crab, And when she drinks, against her lips I bob And on her wither'd dewlap pour the ale.'"
I recalled what he said," Why did you do that?"
"Because I knew you missed him. You all did."
He came closer to me. I tried to back away but I fell onto his trampoline bed.
"Not so much the Queen of Sneaks anymore, huh, Grimm," he said as he fell on the bed next to me and pressed his lips to mine.
I wanted to push him off but I couldn't.
Finally morality overpowered me and I leaned away from him
"Puck, I can't. You're dating Daphne."
He opened his mouth, "That's right."
His hands shot to the place where the words had been spoken.
"Yeah," I said, "I didn't want to say it either."
I climbed off of his bed and walked out of the door. When I reached the other side, I leaned against it, brushing my lips with my fingertips. What had I just done?
Puck's POV
What the hell?
That's all that I was thinking as I watched the love of my life walk out of my room regretting the kiss that we had shared. I wanted to chase after her but I had more troubling things to think about.
I hadn't meant to tell Sabrina that Daphne and I were dating. I meant to oppose her statement but those other cursed words shot out of my mouth.
It had to be that wretched spell that Daphne put on me. I didn't think that it would actually work. Most of the time, the little Marshmallow cast spells and they make a chocolate cake appear or something.
Now, because of Daphne, Sabrina thought that I loved her little sister.
Let's just make it clear that I love Daphne as a little sister. I never have and never will stop loving the smart, beautiful, brave, cocky, selfish, and loving, Sabrina Veronica Grimm. And I would die proving to her that that wasn't a lie.
Sabrina's POV
I didn't understand why puck would make a move on me when he clearly has another girlfriend. I've known Puck for a long time and he never was a cheater.
Something was up. And the Queen of Sneaks was going to figure out what it was.
