It was already evening when Sabrina had finally decided to go home. She reluctantly opened the front door, hoping neither Puck or Peter was inside. Unfortunately, those two were sitting as far as possible from each other, glaring at one another. It appeared as if they were having a contest. The lost boys were either sleeping, in the bathroom doing who knows what, or whacking each other with anything they could get their hands on.
Sabrina pretended to ignore them and went to retrieve her suitcase, which had toppled over her sister's. She was startled by her baby brother.
"Mommy! I want the chocwat!" Basil wailed from his high chair, where he was wearing a bib and cute navy blue overalls. His red hair was messy from all the guests who had ruffled his hair, and his big green eyes were curious and on high alert. He momentarily scratched his right arm, where a dark circle kind of rash was starting to appear.
"Yes dear, I'm coming." Veronica had been in a deep conversation with Henry, but she still came over to Basil. She handed him his sippy cup filled with warm, tasty chocolate milk, which he gulped down in a matter of minutes. He grinned, throwing the plastic bottle across the room, which bonked Charming on the head.
"Someone should really teach that kid some manners!" Charming glared at Basil, who was blinking back tears. Tears gushed out of his eyes, trickling down his cheek and dropping on his lap.
"He's just a toddler!" Sabrina cried out, getting a napkin and wiping the tears away from her little brothers face, who sniffled and hiccupped uncontrollably.
"Charming, she's right, can't you stop being hard on him?" Sighed Veronica, looking as if she wanted to slap Charming.
Charming scowled and said something incoherent under his breath before turning back to do whatever he was doing.
"And I thought he was charming at all times," Sabrina grumbled, trying to shush her little brother. People were starting to stop in their tracks and stare at the little boy who was sniffling, taking pity on him and shaking their heads, as if to say; Poor kid, so fragile and lean. It made Sabrina angry. How dare they think her brother was so fragile and useless? He was only four years old!
"I would like to make an announcement!" Henry's voice suddenly boomed from the middle of the room, and everyone, including Puck and Peter Pan, listened to him, looking at him expectantly. Mr. Canis coughed for a few moments before clearing his throat and clasping his hands together, also beginning to listen.
"As you all know, some of the Everafters like the Frog prince and his daughter, or the Cowardly lion, have already left Ferryport landing. My family will be leaving to New York, and I want to thank you all for coming here. It has been a great honour. We have lived peacefully for so many years, friendship and all. I also want to thank you for helping us when we were in dire need of your help, and so, I just want to say you have been a wonderful audience. Thank You." Henry smiled a bit, catching everyone's eye. Some had tears glistening in their eyes, and some were wiping away the ones that had started to gush out.
Sabrina stood awkwardly, her grip tightening on her suitcases handle as her sister wove her hand through hers. A small feeling of guilt formed in the pit of Sabrina's stomach. How could she have not trusted these kind Everafters, the ones who had been loyal to her family for so many years? She swallowed hard. Even the ones like Charming had been helpful, if not a bit arrogant and petty.
After a while people hugged and parted; some left promising to send letters and visit. Sabrina couldn't believe it when the time for their train to come finally came. She looked behind her, where Puck seemed to be staring right at her. He quickly looked away, his mouth formed into a tight lipped line. She somehow felt hollow inside, as if a hole had just appeared in her heart. Just moments before they were about to go to the train station and everyone had filed outside to say their last goodbyes, Sabrina tried once again. She walked up to Puck, who had his arms crossed and was leaning against a tree. His face held no expression.
"Um... I just came to say bye," Sabrina swallowed the lump in her throat as her hands began to feel sweaty. She wiped her clammy palms on her jeans.
"Yeah, well, say bye then. Get it over with." Puck scowled, turning his face away.
Sabrina couldn't believe it. Puck was unbelievable! How could he be so mean to her? Had she done something wrong to him? Without another word, she stomped away. She paused before Peter Pan, who was trying to get Tinkerbell to scratch his back for him with his wooden sword. The poor fairy couldn't even carry the weight of the sword.
"Well...Uh...Bye...It was um.. Interesting to meet you," Sabrina mumbled to him quickly before running towards her sister, who was hugging her Granny tightly. Henry had tried to get their granny to come along with him and his family once again, but she had just smiled and said that she had many kids to take care of, many who needed a home. And with that, the family walked to the train station with goodbyes and hugs rocketed to them, and they finally let go when Sabrina and her family stepped onto the train. She took one last glance behind her, where Everafters smiled and nodded at her tearfully. Puck was standing behind the crowd, scowling right at her. Sabrina quickly said a goodbye to Granny, Mr. Canis, Red, and other friends and family members before the doors of the train finally closed behind her, and the long vehicle started to move. Sabrina sat down stiffly on a leather seat, not bothering to look out. Why was she so arrogant all of a sudden?
Sabrina and her family had rented a nice Victorian style house that had turrets and windows and peaked roofs that seemed to wink back whenever the sun was going down. Best of all, Sabrina loved another thing about this new house: it overlooked a sparkling deep blue lake. The two sisters would get up early in the morning and swim laps in the cool water of the lake, laughing and giggling.
It was only a month and a half since they had left Ferryport landing, and Sabrina was just putting on her clothes. Her dad had mentioned a surprise visit somewhere, and she had been getting ready. She let her long, golden hair fall below her shoulders, and scrutinized herself in the mirror for anything that needed to be improved. Her burgundy colored sweater fell off alluringly off one shoulder, and her soft leather boots were tucked into jeans that her mom had given her. She was interrupted by her window being pelted with stones. She looked up, startled. She saw a grinning shaggy haired blond boy, with pink insect like wings and wearing a tattered old green hoodie. He mimed opening a window, and Sabrina opened the window, eyes wide.
Hadn't this grinning boy been a scowling and a moody boy just a month ago?
"What are you doing here?" Sabrina blurted out as soon as she had the windows opened wide.
Pucks cheeks colored, and he stammered something indefinable.
"What?" Sabrina cocked a confused eyebrow.
"I...Wanted to apologize for my attitude when you were about to leave." He heaved a huge, dramatic sigh, as if this matter was very depressing. "I was mad. Not just 'cause Pan was coming with me and your uncle, but that you were leaving. I mean I know the barrier's down, but it took me like, so long to find you here. I found you when I asked the old lady for directions. Do you know how embarrassing that was? Me, the Trickster King, asking for directions!
"But why did you wait so long? And where are Uncle Jake and Peter Pan? I thought you were going around the world with them to collect magical items?" Sabrina fired question after question at Puck. Her mind was swarming with questions.
"Well hello to you too," Puck grumbled. He cleared his throat before answering; "It took me a long time to understand what I had done was wrong. I sat one day on top of a dead antelope, thinking of the fight we had. So I asked myself, who was the person who was wrong? Well, as much as I hate to admit it, the answer was clearly ME. Yes, yes, I know you are too dumbstruck by my awesomeness, but let me explain first; I just want to say... Soo-soo-so..." Puck swallowed hard, His cheeks red as a fire engine.
"What did you want to say?" Sabrina craned her neck and cupped her hand around her ear. Puck barely ever apologized, and she wanted to take advantage of it.
"I'm sorry, okay?" Puck huffed, looking mortified and humiliated.
"Really?" Sabrina asked. She had thought Puck would never have come. She thought that what they had... That tiny little beating thing between them had been over. But she felt relieved and also angry at him.
"You are so not making this easy for me!" Puck complained, but Sabrina could see a grin spreading on his face. His expression then turned to confusion. "Why are you dressed like those peasants' anyways?"
"I am not!"
"Yeah, right. Go figure."
Sabrina attempted to slam the window shut in his face, but he held onto the frame, sticking his tongue out at her in victory.
"I hate you," Sabrina muttered.
"Did you just say you loved me, Grimm?" Puck's wings fluttered precipitously, making vibrating sounds. Before Sabrina could think of a witty comeback, She heard a familiar voice calling Puck's name from behind him.
"Ohhh, Puck!" It was Peter. His mop of red hair flopped about as he flew over to them. He wore a pair of beige Capri's instead of his usual green tights, which looked pretty ridiculous with his green shirt. Tinkerbell was fluttering around him impatiently, taking a hold of his shirt and pointing towards the opposite direction. Peter ignored her.
"Looks like Jacob came out of the restroom. Finally. It was about time. He is so gassy now a days! And hey, is that your girlfriend or something?" Peter pointed a bruised, pointy carrot stick at Sabrina. Her cheeks instantly turned red.
"Excuse me, what did you just say, Pan?" Puck cocked a brow, surprisingly calm. Although Sabrina could sense the bubble of anger forming inside him.
"Well...uh...I'd better go find Jacob and... Help him find new pants!" Peter quickly flew off hastily, also sensing that this wasn't the right time to tease Puck.
"That guy is seriously annoying and nosy," Puck shook his head in disgust.
"It reminds me of someone I know," Sabrina said,
"Who?"
"You, farthead." Sabrina rolled her eyes. "By the way, why is he carrying a carrot stick?"
"He couldn't find another wooden sword." It was Puck's turn to roll his eyes. "He stole a few carrot sticks from an old beggar lady. She was so mad, she actually threw her candle at him, but luckily, it only singed his pants off. God-" Puck shuddered. "I'm going to be scarred for life. Anyways, the other carrot sticks were consumed by your uncle, which, apparently, makes him real gaseous and fumy. He's been making rest stops every five minutes. And he makes these weird animal kind of noises."
"Poor Uncle Jake," Sabrina laughed.
"Hey, who are you talking to?" It was Daphne, and she was standing in the doorway wearing a ridiculous pair of a size too big farmer overalls, complete with a straw made hat. She inserted her palm inside her mouth as soon as she saw Puck, biting down so hard Sabrina was afraid her hand would rip apart.
"It's Puck!" Daphne did a little jig. She hadn`t known about the fight, but she had had her suspicions.
"Hey, marshmallow!" Puck grinned, letting out a gustus interuptus loud fart, which made the two sisters turn an odd shade of green, causing them to pinch their noses.
"Next time Puck, go do your butt flapping somewhere else." Sabrina groaned, waving her hand in front of her nose.
"Poofume," Daphne grinned, as soon as the putrid smell faded away.
"Poofume?" Sabrina inquired.
"its my new word!" Daphne said proudly. "I say it whenever Puck lets out one of his trouser trumpets!"
As if on cue, Puck let out a loud, squeaky fart. His ears reddened a bit, but he had a huge grin on his face when Sabrina and her sister turned away in disgust.
"Poofume," Daphne repeated, clapping her hands gleefully. "I'm going to tell mom and dad that Puck came!" She sprinted down the stairs two at a time, calling out her parents names. Eventually, Puck and Sabrina decided to look for her parents by themselves. Although, Sabrina was kind of nervous. She knew her father despised Puck very much.
They met Henry painting one of the kitchen walls green with a paint brush, his eyes observing each stroke so intently that he didn't notice the kids coming in.
"Hello again, Henry!" Puck hollered, a bit too loudly. Henry messed up a stroke, grumbling without looking up. "I'm busy now Peter Pan, can I ignore you another time?"
"I am not PETER PAN!" Puck rumbled, his face flushed and his expression pinched. Sabrina winced. This was not how she imagined the two of them meeting. (AN: i swear pinched and winced was unintentional to rhyming!)
Startled, Henry accidently knocked the paint bucket aside, and the green paint oozed onto the floor. Some of it seeped onto Henry's sneakers. "Look what you made me do!"
Sabrina gritted her teeth. She wanted to dump both of their faces into the pant bucket.
"That's it! You're getting out of this house, now!" Henry was practically screaming in rage now, his hands balled up into fists so tight his knuckles where white as milk, seeming as if it held no flesh underneath.
"Fine! I'm too loyal to live in this dump anyways," Puck sneered. He stomped outside in the yard by the sparkling blue lake, and Sabrina quickly followed. Why couldn't they just get along?
"I'm going to go, your uncle is probably waiting for me," Puck jabbed his thumb behind him. He then grinned mischievously, flying over to her as if he'd just remembered something.
"Here, I made this for you," He handed her a bracelet like bangle, which looked like a green doughnut. It had poorly glued on stickers of random things like cars and rocket ships, and even a monkey. In the centre it had a button like sphere, which Sabrina flipped open. Inside was a picture of Puck grinning, and a red button was attached with the picture.
"Press it!" Puck looked as if he was dying from excitement.
Sabrina hesitantly pressed the button, and immediately, spit balls were thrown at her face from somewhere inside the sphere. She quickly closed the sphere, and the spit balls instantly stopped firing at her.
"Now you can remember me whenever you want. You can stare at the trickster King's face for hours! And, when I'm gone and not here to harass you, the spit balls can be my classic Puckstraordinary prank to remind you of how awesome i am." Puck beamed at her.
"Uh...Thanks...!" Sabrina laughed, thinking of how on earth Puck had actually made this, something even she wouldn't have thought of. I guess he really does have a brain, she thought. "...But with a face like a baboons butt and a brain the size of a meatball, I don't think I can forget you, neither can I forget the first time I met you- although I'll keep trying for that one."
"Maybe you might need to consider suing your brain-for non-support." Puck shot back, looking at Sabinra daringly. "But I heard from somewhere that you got a brain transplant around here, and the brain rejected you!" He pretended to look solemn and pitiful, failing to do so.
"Well, at least I even have a brain, sucker," Sabrina rolled her eyes.
"Puck! Meet Bobby!" Daphne suddenly dashed through the back door, holding a mini Chihuahua in her arms, which barked at the sight of Puck. Daphne had gotten the pup from Sabrina and her parent's just days ago on her Birthday. Sabrina had pooled in her money with her parents, who had thanked her graciously. Ever since they had left Ferryport landing, Daphne had missed Elvis. So it was pretty worth it when they saw how smiling and perky Daphne had been to receive the gift.
"Wow! That critter sure is petite!" Puck flew in closer to the Chihuahua, totally forgetting about his haste to getting back to Sabrina's Uncle and Peter Pan. "If that pooch was mine, I'd shave its butt and teach it to walk backwards."
The tiny dog yelped at being told at that he needed his bottom shaved, when it was perfectly content with its overgrown furry bottom.
"Good luck with that," Sabrina snorted. She patted the tiny canine with her palm on its head awkwardly. She still hadn't gotten used to the small cream colored dog. For one thing, it always left a few droppings by her bedside, and she'd always have to be wide awake to side-step that, otherwise she'd be in doggy doo doo, as Daphne had commented on the day she had received the Chihuahua.
"Puck, get your butt here this instant!" It was Uncle Jake, flying on Aladdin's magic carpet, With Peter Pan and his little pixie friend not far behind. "I found some useful trinkets from a garage sale," Sabrina's uncle continued, holding out a pouch to them. He looked back and fort between the two Grimm sister's.
"Hey 'brina, hey Daphne, how are you guys doing?" Uncle Jake gave a curt nod and grinned at them. Sabrina and her sister grinned back.
"Well, smell you later foghorns," Puck fake saluted like a soldier, Then flew off with Uncle Jake and Peter Pan. Sabrina and Daphne waved goodbyes before going inside, with the Chihuahua barking like a mad wild dog ready to bust out of it's cage. Sabrina couldn't help stopping the excited little flip in her stomach. Puck had actually apologized to her about something, really!
The surprise visit, as Henry had called it, turned out to be a festival of food and rides, and many games too. They were mostly pac-man and all those kids games, but Sabrina and her sister had had a blast. Although in between moments she would wonder why her dad had called it a 'surprise visit.'
The family had left right after Puck's departure, and Sabrina was grateful for that somehow. Basil, who had gotten the flu from the change of weather, stayed homesick with Sabrina's neighbour, Mrs. Walling; who had offered to babysit little Basil.
Sabrina was just tossing some rings onto a steel pole to get a stuffed panda she wanted as a prize, when Henry called her back.
"The festival is almost closing, and i haven't took you guys to the 'visit' yet," He explained.
"I thought this was the surprise visit," Daphne mused, looking around her surroundings.
"Well, actually, this was the 'surprise,' and the 'visit,' is to Granny Relda's house," Henry beamed at them.
Sabrina's heart tugged. She hadn't seen her Granny Relda for only a month, but she had truly missed her.
The family had decided to bring Basil along with them to Granny's house, since they would be probably staying there for the night.
Henry parked the family's non-expensive BMW by the garage and the family stumbled into the house with greetings. But to their horror, they saw something they had always thought would never happen again: A Grimm was in trouble.
Basil was sitting, sniffling and trembling as Mrs. Walling chanted some kind of spell that made his whole body illuminate in a liquid yellow glow.
"What is the meaning of this?" Henry startled Mrs. Walling, making her topple over from where she was standing by a vase on a coffee table.
"He is my king to be, I will be back, when you least expect it." The crone croaked, making a death sign by pretending to slice her neck off with her hand sideways. She disappeared wordlessly in a poof of smoke, leaving a deadly silence hanging in the family's living room.
Basil was still whimpering, and Veronica quickly cuddled him and showered him with kisses. He had something golden glowing on his chubby little hand, and the family gathered around it to inspect what it was, despite their pounding hearts. Sabrina felt scared all of a sudden as she looked around the room nervously, then at the glowing sphere on her little brothers arm. Wasn't that his birthmark? Did birthmarks glow? Hadn't that been the rash Basil had been scratching at the going away party at Granny relda's house? Were evil Everafters STILL after her family?
