Sorry for the lame update. :p This shows more of Puck and Mustardseed talking. Hopefully my muse will be quicker and better on future updates...It's not really much, but I hope you guys enjoy.

I would like to thank everyone who reviewed Scarlet Loop and that other one-shot I posted (my mind just went blank on the name, bleh) I was off of FF during that time, but I will reply on all of those reviews soon. Also, I have a poll on my profile of what multi-chaps I should update, go vote~ ;)

Please, please review! They make me very happy. And I will give you cookies, lovely cookies. Loooooovely cookies. Yum.

After breakfast, Mustardseed hurried to lurk in the library he had spotted when he first arrived. For at least a couple of hours, he wanted to be free from the others, he wanted to immerse himself in books and forget about everything else.

Just for a few hours, then he could return and face reality.

Maybe.

Probably.

He didn't want to face reality.

It took him only a few minutes to explore the room filled with so many books, several were toppled everywhere, as though something had exploded. Which considering what he had witness in the last twelve hours, he really didn't doubt it.

Also, there was something on the walls that smelled strangely like ketchup...

Just as the young prince started to read off some titles to himself, a voice rang out, "Mustardseed!"

Shoot.

He glanced around desperately, then grabbed a random book, curled himself up on the sofa, and pretended to be deeply invested in reading.

The brown-haired girl practically skipped into the room with a cheerful grin, "Mustardseed! I was wom0ndering if you would like to explore some of Ferryport Landing with me, Puck, and Sabrina."

Mustardseed cleared his throat, "Well, um, actually reading a book.." He held the book up weakly, like a shield to protect himself.

She tilted her head, brown eyes wide with curiosity and slight bit of puzzlement, "Upside down?"

"...It's a bad habit I have.."

"What are you reading?"

Before he could stop her, she had plucked the book from his grasp and was reading off the title.

"Dancing With Goblins like a Princess?"

Of course, because today wouldn't be complete if something like this didn't happen.

"I.."

Well, he certainly had nothing to say about that.

"You have interesting tastes."

The young girl dropped the book and backed away, giving him a look of 'don't worry I understand completely what you are going through it happens to us teenagers' kind of look, "Okey dokay, Have fun. I am sure I can find you a spare goblin you can practice with if you need it or something, m'kay?"

And off she darted out of the room, leaving Mustardseed to groan and hide his face in a dusty pillow.

Which left him hacking and coughing up dust a few minutes later, till someone else he was trying to avoid came into the room, "Yo! Musty!"

He sighed, "What do you want, Puck?"

Puck held out his hands wordlessly and his brother stared back dumbly. Huh.

His wrists were tangled up bright green, stringed, electrical Christmas lights, they curled and tangled themselves all the way up to his shoulders.

"What? Are you trying to be a Egyptian mummy that lights up?"

"Very funny." Puck scowled, lightly kicking his younger brother with his foot, "I was putting up a Christmas tree."

...

"In June?!"

Puck shrugged, a difficult task to do when one is tangled up, "People have bad memories. I was hoping to fool someone into smelling my freshly chopped Christmas tree and it would explode in their face. For two weeks their noses would be fire engine red!" He cackled to himself, thinking about the chaos that would of caused.

"And?"

"Sabrina found out, destroyed the tree, and stuffed me in the box of stringed lights."

Inside his mind, Mustardseed applauded Sabrina, because that was simply amazing and he wished he could do that same thing to his brother right about now.

But, Mustardseed was a nice person, he knew that, the kingdom knew that, his parents knew that, and dammit his brother knew that. No wonder Puck had come to him for his untanglement problem.

So, he beckoned Puck over and released him from his imprisionment of stringed lights, because that was the kind, thoughtful, awesome younger brother he was.

Okay, maybe he did unnecessarily and childishly poke his brother in the ribs painfully several times.

But, that did not change the good deed that he willingly just did.

Yep.

...

"Thanks, Musty. Oh! I got something else for you!"

"No."

"You haven't even heard it yet..."

"I don't need to hear it. Because it's probably something absolutely horrible."

"You wound me."

"I'll do a lot more than that in a minute if you don't stop bugging me."

"Ooh, something got you in a tizzy." Puck perched himself on the arm of the sofa, surveying his brother with a smirk, "Marriage?"

He choked, "Eh?"

"I'm not a fool, Mustardseed." Puck frowned. "I know Mother...Titania...sent you to check out Sabrina and- well, she probably has some other plans."

Mustardseed tilted his head, "Plans?"

"Titania never does anything in without a second plan in place, she is quite wicked if you think about it. In fact, I believe I got some of my intelligence from her. Well, actually my intelligence is more than any Everafter or human on this planet I admit, but you know, if you want to discuss how awesome I am, haha, I know a lot on the subject. Prepare youself on the course of; 'How Awesome Puck Is'. It started one cold night..."

He rolled his eyes at his brother's boasting and jabbed him in the stomach, "I rather not listen to such myths. And how did you even manage to say the word 'intelligence' correctly?"

The trickster wheezed, "How dare you. Since you are my younger brother, I shall refrain from punching your face, pretty boy."

Mustardseed bristled in indignation, "Pretty boy?!"

Puck held up his hands in surrender, "It's Sabrina's name for you. Not me. I totally would not call you that, I would go with...not very pretty boy." The blonde haired teen gestured to his face, "I mean, I know you wish to be as handsome as me. Maybe one day, when you are more mature and ol-"

"Your face? Me? Yuck. Nightmares.."

"Oi.."

"Wait, that is Sabrina's name for me?"

Mustardseed's heart fell slightly as betrayal and lost hope broke it. His only source of normal, or possibilty of a partner to escape this madness, called him pretty boy.

How awful.

He was stuck here.

Reality sucked.

Reality had pots and pan alarm clocks, pancake fights and multi-colored food.

And his mind was so far gone, because all of that was reality.

Puck's drawling voice broke through his thoughts, ( his rather deep thoughts on reality) "So, heard you that you are interested in goblins as dancing partners? I'm trying imagine you doing a foxtrot. That is hilarious."

"Puck, shut up."

"Take that back. You trying to do a waltz is more hilarious. "
