I've gotten complaints about the underlining, and I'm going to fix it this chapter. Sorry about that. Anyway! On with the story! And I just noticed I switch POVs. No one's, then Sabrina's. Sorry about that. Not conscious thoughts.
Well, Sabrina and Char got back in the car and started heading toward New York, because they had somehow gotten the Vorpal Blade from Mirror, which took a lot of convincing, begging, and threatening to get. But they had it now, and they were going to use it before Granny found out and went after them. On the ride there, Sabrina found herself completely bored. She didn't even know people-or Everafters, for that matter- could get that bored. So, doing the natural(ish) thing, she took out her laptop and logged onto Skype. She was pleasantly surprised when she saw Puck on.
Magicaddict- Puck, where the heck are you?
IruletheEarth- What's it to you, stinkpot?
Magicaddict- …. Doesn't matter.
"We're here!" Charlotte announced proudly as the car clamored to a stop.
Magicaddict- I have to go. Don't do anything stupid.
IruletheEarth- You're not my mother.
Magicaddict- Glad I'm not a crazed psycho.
IruletheEarth- Never said that.
Magicaddict- I'm leaving.

Sabrina shut the laptop and got out of the car.
"Thank God," she breathed. Charlotte glared playfully at her friend.
"You're welcome," she teased. Sabrina just smiled.
"Let's go to Faerie first. I bet Puck stopped there," Sabrina said, "And I bet he talked to Mustardseed, no doubt! He can help us!" She started off in a sprint for the Hans Christianson statue in Central Park.
"Whoa, there, horsie! We just got here, let's enjoy it! We've got time! There's so many things to sightsee…" Charlotte sighed dreamily.
"Sightseeing later! This is urgent!" Sabrina frantically tugged on Charlotte's hand.
"Yeah… Oh, hi Sabrina.. Whoa, Sabrina! Aren't we supposed to finding Puck? Shame!" Charlotte broke out of her trance.
Sabrina groaned and pulled the poor girl to the Hans Christianson statue.
.*.*.* O_o Puck's POV
I laughed manically as the boulders hit the targets. I heard screaming and went over my plan again in my mind. Capture Pan. Get money. Buy Droid. Get Sab-Grimm. Foolproof, right? Maybe get Sab- GRIMM should go second. Knowing her, she probably left with Sherry or whoever to New York. Even though that other girl is an Everafter. Whatever. I blew into my flute.
"Minions, go get Pan, and hurt him as much as possible. Looks like we have a new prisoner." I smile big and send them off.
Shortly after, my minions bring a certain struggling boy in tights over to me.
"Why, hello, Pan! You're looking girlier then before! What'd you do? Put pixie dust in your clothes?" I laugh.
He looks shell-shocked. "How'd you know?"
….Wow.
"No matter! What do you want with me?" He asks.
"Quit talking with big words! Speak English!" He stares at me. "Moving on! I'm here for my revenge" I pause dramatically and rub my hands together, "And a proposal."
"I don't want to get married!" He shouts. I smack him.
"I already have a fiancé," I say grandly.
"Who would marry you?" he asks.
"What a stupid question! It is an honor!" I pause then continue, "The Grimm girl. She is my wife in the future and I accept this because a wife is a slave."
Pan snorts. "Answer my question. What do you want?"
I step forward. "Revenge. And I'll let you go on one condition."
He stares at me. I take a deep breath. "Help me find the Grimm girl and you're free to go."
.*.*.* Sabrina's POV
Once in Faerie, we went and asked Mother Hen where Mustardseed was.
"Oh, honey, Mustardseed? He's gone," she said.
"Oh, good, can you le- Wait, WHAT?" I yelled.
"How could he be gone?" Charlotte said, so much calmer then I was.
"He left," she said.
No, really, I thought. "Where'd he go?"
"I don't know, honey," she said. "I think he might've went to Ferryport Landing, but Titania refuses to tell anyone anything."
We've gotten it wrong this whole time!
Puck is still in Ferryport Landing, along with Mustardseed!
Darn.
On the drive back, Charlotte attempted to cheer me up.
"Mustardseed no doubt headed to your house," she said. "I'll just speed up!"
"You mean faster than you already are? I only thought a car could go this fast!" I said, mock surprised.
Charlotte glared at me.
We began to look for Mustardseed immediately. Charlotte had guessed right, because when we went to my house, he ran out and waved at us.
"Sabrina!" he shouted.
I waved back and ran to him.
"Hi, Mustardseed!" I grinned at him. Charlotte looked him up and down.
"Why didn't you fall for him? He's so much cleaner!"
I glared at her. I pointed at her. "Mustardseed, that's Charlotte, my best friend. Charlotte, this is Mustardseed, Puck's brother."
Charlotte waved feebly. Mustardseed smiled at her.
"Mustardseed, we need your help. Puck isn't anywhere to be found!"
Mustardseed shrugged. "Why is that a problem?" I gaped at him. I'm pretty sure my mouth hit the floor.
"He's your brother!" I shouted.
Mustardseed just grinned at me. "I get you all to myself now."
Now Charlotte was scowling at him.
"Well okay! I'm going to have a little…. chat with… Charlotte! Yeah, Charlotte!... Over there! That sounds about right…" I said, edging away. I grabbed Charlotte and was almost sprinting over to the edge of the wood.
"He's staring at you," she said in disgust once we were over to the wood.
I wrinkle my nose. "Yeah, he's creeping me out! He didn't act like this before!"
Charlotte blinked. "Something had to of set him off… Puck! Puck isn't here!"
I shrug. "He was in his cocoon before, though."
"Yeah, but he was still there! And you were his protector! And now Puck isn't here, so he gets to make a move on you! This is terrible!"
"We need to find Puck, and soon, otherwise he may come back to find me gone," I say. "Let's go deeper into the woods, then- you have my laptop, right?- we can track Puck with his laptop signal! You're great with that stuff!" I said, making sure Mustardseed didn't hear us.
"Mustardseed! We're gonna, go, um, look at that funny looking tree over there!" I said, spotting a funny looking tree.
"I'll come with you," he said, starting to jog over.
"NO! I mean, Sabrina just wants some alone time, right?" Charlotte quickly covered up her mistake. I nodded vigorously.
"Oh. Well, I'll just stand guard over here, and protect you girls," he said, and winked. It took all I had to keep from barfing right there.
Charlotte didn't take that precaution. She threw up a little right in front of her.
"Sorry, I have a weak stomach," she smiled.
We headed into the middle of the woods and opened my laptop. I quickly logged onto Skype.
Puck was thankfully on.
"Keep him distracted while I get the signal," Charlotte muttered furiously.
Magicaddict: Hey Puck!
IruletheEarth: Hi.
Magicaddict: So, where have you been?
IruletheEarth: Nowhere. Nowhere at all.
Magicaddict: Oh.
IruletheEarth: You don't happen to have Charlotte with you, do you?
"Say no!" Charlotte instructed. "I've almost got the signal!"
Magicaddict: No. Why?
IruletheEarth: I know of her….. Issues, let's call them.
Magicaddict: She does not have issues!
IruletheEarth: First step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, piggy!
Magicaddict: You are so annoying!
IruletheEarth: You love me anyway! You love me this much! *spreads arms*
Magicaddict: I do not!
"He's in Never Land!" Charlotte concluded.
IruletheEarth: That's right. You love me more!
Magicaddict: You're just jealous!
IruletheEarth: What's there to be jealous of?
Magicaddict: …I know you're in Never Land.
IruletheEarth: You said you didn't have Charlotte with you!
Magicaddict: Is little Pucky surprised I lied?

Sabrina sat back, victorious.
Whew! That was kinda long, but I haven't worked on this in forever. Mustardseed is evil! What does he think he's doing? What will Puck do when he finds out? Tune in next time! R&R luvvies!
