Chapter 3: Getting What You Deserve

Puck had just left New York after finishing up some business he had there.

Namely, business involving a smelly old bat who has finally gotten a long, overdue taste of her own medicine. Something he managed to do, thanks to that ghost kid.

Now, that old bat is receiving her long overdue punishment. It wasn't his usual style, but he knew that what they did to her was VERY fitting.

"The only people I pity are whoever that old bat ends up working for, and the rest of Switzerland. Oh well, hopefully this will teach her some humility...or not. At least she's getting karma..."Puck thought as he soon arrived to his destination.

The male fairy was now in Paris, France. He managed to stop by one of it's most famous bakeries and picked up some chocolate crepes that he just couldn't resist.

The male fairy grinned, as he looked at the tasty looking French pastries.

"Bon appétit!..."Puck saidM as he ate about a dozen or so of them.

Once done, he smiled.

"Délicieux!..."He said in French as he wiped his lips with a napkin, looking satisfied that he settled his craving.

For now.

Once done, the fairy began to enjoy the famous city. He was enjoying the sights and began pranking any passerby that he figured would be fun to mess with.

"Now, let's see who I can play with next..."Puck thought, as he looked around.

He flew past a school and saw a bratty girl with blonde hair bullying a young girl with dark hair in pigtails, making her cry. Apparently, they had been fighting over some boy and the other girl was making fun of her.

"Tu penses qu'il t'aimerait? Ne me fais pas rire!..."The mean girl said, laughing snidely as the other girl ran away.

Puck saw this, grinning eagerly at the clearly spoiled girl who clearly has a lot of ill intentions.

"Okay, she needs to be punished..."He said, as he snapped his fingers.

As the bullied girl ran away in tears, the mean girl kept laughing until she saw the bush near her. It was shaking, while making odd animal sounds.

The mean girl got confused, as she got closer to see what it was. However, a skunk soon appeared from the bushes and aimed at her.

The mean girl let out a horrified scream, once she saw what it was.

"NON! NON! NON! NON! NON!..."The girl said, but it was too late for her.

She got sprayed by the skunk and soon reeked. She screamed loudly, as she was now smelling horribly.

Everyone else around saw the skunk and got a whiff of the girl and ran away, including the boy whom the two girls had been fighting over earlier.

The skunk sprayed girl ran away, humiliated and screeching angrily.

Puck laughed, having enjoyed watching all of that.

"Serves her right..."He said, snickering.

"I see that you're up to your old tricks again..."An angelic voice was soon heard.

Puck turned around and gasped in delight when he saw a taller, gorgeous female fairy with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Queen Titania. Good to see you again..."Puck said, as he bowed before his queen.

"I've been looking for you..."The queen said in a serious tone.

"What brings you here? Is Old Olby requesting me back already?..."He asked.

Titania sighed and shook her head.

"No, he's still too hot headed to admit he needs you for something. I'd say that he's as stubborn as a mule, but even Bottom was more laid back than he is capable of..."Titania muttered.

"True, but Olby still is the one to give the word if I need something big..."Puck said, since he was the one who granted him permission to use the special punishment on Plasmius in the first place.

"King or not, he has no power over me. Especially when it comes to who I see..."The female fairy said, arms crossed.

"I'm gonna assume you have another human lover right now, right?..." Puck asked, and his queen nodded.

"Indeed. I have married a nice, human artist name Lorenzo. We have a little girl in Italy named Luciana. I was getting a cup of coffee when I had sensed where you were, and decided to see what you were up to..." Titania stated, as she sipped from her cup.

"I see. So, not that I'm not thrilled to see you? But what brings you here? The sights? The smell of fresh baked crepes?..."Puck asked.

Titania shook her head, looking displeased about something that Puck had done.

"I know that you used that love potion on that scoundrel Plasmius. One you've known we are not using anymore..."Titania said, sounding ticked.

"Olby and the council let me use it..."Puck pointed out.

The queen frowned.

"Even so, you shouldn't have done that. You know there is a reason that potion was banned in the first place..."She said, expressing her disapproval.

Puck rolled his eyes, before he tried to explain his reasons.

"That Plasmius has committed many crimes and doesn't feel even the slightest bit of remorse for them. One of them being trying to take a woman away from her family and force himself on her. Another is that he basically tried to use his own "daughter" as a tool, and tried to get rid of her when she was no longer useful. I had no choice. It's to punish him and teach him a lesson..."Puck explained.

"Is that so?..."Titania asked, as the fairy trickster nodded.

"Yes, heck...the main reason I thought about using that potion is because HE kept insisting that I made this Maddie women fall in love with him...despite knowing that she's already happily married with kids...and despite the fact that I kept reminding him that she would basically become little more than an enamored slave..."Puck said, and the queen frowned.

"What a scumbag..."She said, disgusted.

"You can say that again. But rest assure, he'll either learn a lesson... or just have his life ruined. A win-win either way..."Puck said.

The fairy queen sighed. She knew that Puck is a good judge of character and while a trickster, he would never do anything this extreme unless someone truly needed to be punished.

Still, she was unsure about this.

"Are you sure this is the right way to go about this?..."Titania asked.

"I'm sure that he's wishing that I just turned him into a park statue and that I left him for the pigeons, instead of doing this to him. That's for sure...which is what I was going for..."Puck said, before noticing his queen's expression.

"I'm serious, Tani. That Plasmius is rotten with a capital R. He tried to enslave me and made me do his bidding. True, he failed and I could have escaped any time I wanted...but it doesn't change the fact that he's still rotten..."The male fairy insisted.

"I wasn't condemning you, Puck. I have heard about that Plasmius and his crimes. He is nothing but snake who not only released both Vortex and the Ghost King, but he's also risking people's lives just to win a woman who hates him. I'm just not happy you had to get that poor mortal woman involved in your little prank..."Titania said, knowing what it was like to have the potion used to make her love a man and get him in trouble.

"Yes, I know of the woman you have chosen and I don't approve of you playing with her emotions like that and using the potion on her as well..."She said, in a scolding manner.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You got it wrong, Tani. The only one whom I used the potion was on Plasmius and I specifically sent him to the ONLY woman on the planet who LEGITIMATELY seems to want to love him and be with him. Though, why she'd love him is anyone's guess..."Puck said, as he showed an image of Alicia.

Titania eyed her and shook her head.

"Even so, what does she see in someone like Plasmius?..."She asked, thinking that Alicia is too good for a creep like him.

"Eh, love is blind. Hopefully, she'll keep him busy for a while and give Danny Phantom less trouble. Come on, I'll show you..."Puck said.

He opened a window and showed the queen what was happening at Alicia's cabin. They saw Alicia and Vlad having a tender, loving moment together.

While Vlad was influenced by the love potion, the queen could tell that Alicia seemed to truly be in love with him, as they continued to watch this scene unfold.


At the cabin

The "new couple" was still making out on Alicia's old, torn up couch as if they were a couple of hormonal teenagers.

They remained like that for a while, Vlad was lying on his back as the red haired divorcee kept showering the white haired billionaire with all of her love and affection.

"MUAH! MUAH! MUAH!..."Was heard as she kept kissing him on the lips, before she began to gush and fawn over him again.

"Oh, I love you. I love you, my handsome little capitalistic, avaricious silverfox!~..."Alicia said, in between her kisses.

Vlad was kissing her back and talking just as lovey-dovey towards her too.

"MUAH!..."He kissed, before gushing over her too.

"And I love you, my masculine mountain beauty! I love your broad, muscular arms that are even stronger than a man's and I love your hair trigger temper! So enticing!..."He said as he kissed her again.

While some might consider those things as insults, Alicia saw them as compliments and kept showering him with hugs and kisses.

"I love you so much! I love how ruthless and underhanded you are! And I love how you put a whole company that used to be a competitor just to limit competition. You're so authoritative and underhanded when you're trying to make them big bucks! It's so hot!..."Alicia said as she began smooching him again.

Once she stopped to take a breath, her boyfriend noticed what she had just said about him.

"You follow my career on before I ran for mayor?..."Vlad asked, looking flattered and she nodded.

"Of course, I learned everything that I could on you since we met. Every magazine article, every interview, every appearance on TV, even news of when you renamed that company MasterSoft around the time they was making game consoles..."Alicia said, smiling at him in a loving way.

"It's been a hassle going over to the local library and using there computer to look you up, but it was worth it to know about more about my handsome little billionaire Prince Charmin'!..."She said, sounding even more lovesick than usual.

Any man would be disturbed to hear this, but Vlad is under a love potion and only felt love for her. He just kissed her on her lips in a tender manner, acting very affectionate with her.

"How did I get so lucky to win the love of you?..."Vlad asked, mentally creeped out but kept acting like some lovesick fool for her.

"You just were, Handsome..."Alicia said, before smooching him deeply once more.

"When will this torment end?!..."Vlad thought in dread as he was being kissed by the abhorrent woman, wishing that something...ANYTHING would bring this to an end.

However, that is when they heard a grumbling sound.

"GRIILLLLLLLLLLL..."Was heard.

Alicia and Vlad stopped for a moment upon hearing that.

"Huh? What was that?..."Alicia asked as she looked around, wondering if it was some critter...only to see that it was Vlad's rumbling stomach.

"Grrrllll!..."Was heard again, which Alicia heard and giggle.

"Oopsie. I was so excited to see ya again, Honey. I forgot to ask if you wanted to have some dinner. So...wanna join me?..."Alicia asked.

Vlad didn't want to eat anything made by her, but the love potion wouldn't give him any choice in the manner.

"Of course, my darling. Anything made by your delicate and lovely hands would most definitely be an unbelievable treat..."Vlad said, kissing her hands.

Alicia blushed and giggled like a school girl.

"Oh Vladdy, you're such a flirt..."She said, before kissing him once more.

"Now, you go sit at the table. I'll serve us the hog jowels, chitlings, and turnip greens in a second, lover boy..."Alicia said, while Vlad paled internally.

"Hog jowels?! Chitlins?! How ghastly!..."He thought in dread and feeling ill at the mere mention of them, while he could only smile and nod.

"As you wish, my dear..."Vlad said, as he obeyed her and sat at the table as he awaited his dinner.

All the while, his inner self was dreading this almost as much as he dreaded being kissed by her.

"Is it too late for that fairy to turn me into a donkey?! Or a football?!..."Vlad thought, as his "girlfriend" began to serve the his "dinner".


Back with the fairies

Puck snickered, while Titania watched with curiosity.

"Are you sure that she isn't under the potion too?..."The fairy queen asked.

Puck nodded.

"She's not. I swear, scouts honor.."Puck said, as he held a hand up with the other over his heart.

"She just happens to have really bad taste in guys, that's all..."He said.

"That much is obvious. Still...I'm not sure about involving her with someone as dangerous as that cad..."Titania said, not wanting to see her hurt.

"No worries, I got it covered. I promise my wings to you that I won't let anyone hurt her. As for the love thing...well, I figure that she'll dump Plasmius soon enough, once she sees for herself that he's not worth two cents..."Puck said, explaining his overall plan.

"Until then, she'll keep him busy...in more ways than one..."He said with a snicker.

Titania raised a brow, but she trusted Puck's judgement. She sighed.

"I guess this will keep him out of trouble...and who knows...maybe he will grow to love her on his own in time and he will change for the better..."Titania said, as she snapped her fingers to make the coffee pot appear in her other hand to refill.

"I think Oberon would change sooner..." Puck admitted.

"True... which is why I haven't told him that I remarried. My human partner may not be as powerful, but he's at least taking his role as a father seriously while studying to take on a better job..." Titania went.

"Does he know about your powers? Or about your ex?..."Puck asked, and the fairy queen nodded.

"Yes, I told him before we got married. Thankfully, he is more open minded and understanding that Oberon is..."Titania said.

"Good to hear..."Puck said, happy for his queen.

"So, my queen...wanna take the sights with me? It is Paris, after all?..."Puck asked.

The fairy queen thought about it, and nodded.

"Why not? I need a break away from that pompous oaf I call a king and my new husband isn't home yet, and our daughter is still at preschool..."Titania said.

She soon left to go sight seeing with her fairy follower and friend, leaving Plasmius to deal with his punishment.


Later

At Alicia's cabin

Vlad had just finished his "meal", and so did Alicia.

Vlad was smiling, hiding his actual opinion when he saw the so-called meal, while on the inside, he was trying hard not to vomit.

"So...sick! I'm not even sure if any of that was FDA approved!..."He thought, feeling nauseous and sick while Alicia seemed satisfied after she wiped her lips with an old handkerchief.

"So...what's ya think about my home cooking, Vladdy?..."Alicia asked, clearly wanting a compliment from her.

Vlad had a forced smile on his face, which he was internally hating every second of this horrid meal.

Alicia's cooking was pretty bad to say the least, and the ingredients she used were questionable to say the least. To be honest, it was the second worst thing he has ever eaten. The first being that possum that she shoved down his throat the last time he was here.

However, due to the love potion, Vlad ate it all and could only compliment her. He didn't want to, but he crammed it all down his through, despite not liking any of it.

Once he was done, he sent a smile at his girlfriend, who was waiting for his approval.

He hated what he had just eaten and was trying hard not to blow chunks right now. However, he was unwilling to hurt her feelings and forced a smile on his face as he started complimenting her cooking.

"Truly scrumptious, my dear. I have never eaten anything like this..."Vlad said, lying to spare her feelings.

"Thank ya, Dreamboat. I'm glad that you like my home cookin'..."Alicia said, flattered.

"I love it...after all...beauty...brains...elegance and the way you kiss leaves me utterly speechless. I wish that I met you sooner..."Vlad said, under the spell that made it seem like he was absolutely besotted with her.

"Oh, Vlad...you're such a flirt!..."Alicia said as she winked at him, before she began to play footsie with him under the table.

Vlad cringed internally as he felt her crusty old boot brushing up and down his calve, as they kept flirting with each other.

"Somebody shoot me right now!..."He thought as the beastly woman wouldn't leave him be, but the love potion made him act as if he actually liked her.

And it wasn't over yet, it seems.

"I have to escape! Before she starts serving possum next!..."Vlad thought, feeling like he was losing his mind.

However, the love potion made him want to stay by her side.

He wanted to flee, to run to the hills and get as far away from her as possible...but thanks to that potion's effect made him want to hold her hand, and make goo-goo eyes at her like some fool.

It was maddening!

"Oh, Vladdy. I love you so much!..."Alicia said in a lovesick way, holding his hand.

Vlad's exterior smiled at her, while his interior cringed at hearing those words from her.

"And I you, my dear..."Vlad said, acting like he was madly in love with her.

Alicia smiled and sighed dreamily, before she leaned forward and kissed him yet again. The villain kissed her back, all the while swearing revenge and pleading for his freedom.

"The second this wretched potion wears off...I AM OUT OF HERE!..."He thought, desperate to find an escape.

ANY ESCAPE!

However, the evening...and his misery continued.


Back with the fairies

Titania and Puck were in the middle of Paris, enjoying some snow cones as the sat on top of the Eiffel Tower.

However, the fairy queen suddenly recalled something.

"Uh...Puck?..."Titania spoke up.

"Yes, Tani?..."Puck asked, after swallowing his entire snow cone whole.

"You did remember to warn Plasmius about the side effects, right?..."She asked.

Puck paused, raising a brow.

"Side effects?..."He asked, and the queen frowned.

"You forgot, didn't you?..."She asked, already knowing the answer.

Puck was silent, and soon recalled what she is talking about.

"Oh, THOSE side effects. No, I didn't tell him..."He said, like it's no big deal.

"Puck, you should tell him..."She said.

"Why? Even with them, he'll still be under the spells effect in the end. It's really no big deal. Plus, he's a jerk, so I don't see the reason why any of that matters. It's not like it's gonna change his punishment in the long run..."He said with a shrug.

"I agree that he's a piece of walking garbage...but you can't just neglect to tell him about the side effects. He at least has a right to know what's happening to him before he beings to think that he's losing his mind..."Titania said, while her friend raised an eye-brow at that.

"Losing his mind? You imply that he still had it?..."Puck asked.

"You know what I mean. I'm not worried about him, but who knows what he'll do to that poor woman. You're responsible for her safety, Puck. Just remember who's head the consequences will be on, should something happen to her..."The queen said, and Puck sighed.

"Alright, I'll check up on them and let Plasmius know about the side effects...but tomorrow. There is this show that they are going to be playing and it the finale that I really don't wanna miss..."He said, and his friend sighed.

"Fine, but I'm still holding you responsible for that mortal woman's safety. Just hope that nothing happens before you can explain the side effects and take the necessary steps to protect her..."She said, being stern.

"Alright, fair enough. I was already planning on doing the protecting stuff anyway..."Puck said, still confident and not discouraged at all.

"Be sure to do so..."Was all the queen said, before looking at her watch.

"We'll continue this discussion later. I still need to go pick up my daughter and get dinner ready..."She said, getting up to leave.

"Okay. See ya, Tani. I'll stop by to say hi to your hubby and your kid before I go..."Puck said, as laid back as ever.

The two fairies wen about their respective business, as Vlad suffered through his punishment.

Unaware of what would befall him tomorrow.
