EDIT: OMPUCKINGLORD! I HAVE OVER 300 REVIEWSSS! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMGEE:

EDIT AGAIN: YOU CRAZY WARISHA! XD And you too, Red. Both of you assumed to be the 300th, but Warisha was. But, you two get to pick a prize: A one-shot dedicated to you or spoilers for this story. And Red (TheyCallMeRed), it's Lara, not Laura.

A/N.HOLY FRIG. Last night I went to sleep, the total amount of reviews was 281. Now waking up at 6 AM, there's 293. And now there's more. EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC! That's like, 12 reviews within 9 hours or so! :D Thank you thank you thank you! This flood of reviews really made me happy. Keep this up, and I might just give that 6-day-update without wanting to win Elli's BSGS2011! ^^

This chapter was hard to write. :/ I didn't know what to do with their personalities -make them OOC because they're older, or let them keep their personalities from the book. So, sorry if this isn't filling. People have requested for these characters, and I feel sorry for -somewhat- ignoring them. You should know who I'm talking about. :D

Again -sorry if I keep nagging- but Elli's BSGS2011 is almost over! D: Vote please?I really don't mind if you have another story special to you -it was amazing being nominated anyway! ^^

Also, sorry if this chapter seems...flat. Or not as good as usual. I wrote this yesterday night because I didn't know if I'd have time to write after chorus practice at 4. Sorry about that. But after the chapter, give me any suggestions to make it more funny or just better!

One more thing -I'm sorry I can't reply to all you anon. reviewers! There are way too many, and so little time (I just got home at six, and I wasn't done with the chapter until 7:30 or so)! But please know that I LOVE ALL OF THEM. Seriously, I do. (By the way, Warisha, I thought I had established that they're comments didn't affect me? :D I forgive your bro anyways) Thanks.

Here's chapter 31!

Warning: This chapter is really rated T because Puck's perverted. And Veronica is OOC (like she was in that chapter before, but much more so).

Chapter 31: There's a First: Observant Adults

"You're oddly silent."

I turned around and blinked at Ariana. "Oh? I'm just thinking."

"About Mr. Firay?" she teased, nudging me in the shoulder.

"No I'm not." Okay, lie. I was thinking of him -yes- but not in the 'he's so hot' sense. More of the 'what happened' matter. We had come back from the cave in silence after he had knocked out the three men. His expression that day had made me curious. Why had he looked so...sad? So solemn? It actually hurt to see him make that face after he had knocked out Drew and Zach. And what did he mean by 'again'? Hopefully, I would get the chance to ask him on Monday. Because he hadn't come with us on the bus like the rest of the teachers, he had driven back in his own car.

"Oye! Daphne!" Ariana snapped her fingers in front of me. "You got lost in space again."

"Sorry," I murmured.

She suddenly looked at me with concern. "Daphne, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing!" I lied, my face heating up. I didn't want her to be concerned for me. She didn't really need to know what happened at the beach.

Ariana pursed her lips at me. "Hmm, could it be that you and Mr. Firay were doing something that was put on hold because you guys had to come back to the hotel?" She winked suggestively.

"What? No!" My face flamed.

"You guys were out there for a pretty long time...oooh! Did you guys have sex in that rock place we found the other day?"

"No, no, no! Ariana, no!" Oh gosh, she was so embarrassing. Ms. Dayscall turned in her seat towards us with a raised eyebrow, seeing Ariana let out a cackle. She turned back to the front of the bus when Ariana quieted down.

"Sorry, amiga, but you're such a fun tease," she said, ruffling up my hair.

"Everyone seems to say that nowadays."

"Even Mr. Firay? Ooh, what kind of tease? Strip tease?"

Kill me now.

The bus stopped on my street right then, and I silently thanked the Lord.

I almost ran of the bus. "Bye, Ariana, see you Monday!" I called quickly. She sent me an amused grin through the bus window as I ran down the block for my house.

My house wasn't far from the bus stop, so the run -or fast walk, however you see it- took me only about three or so minutes. I looked into the alley that I had first encountered Matt in, and thankfully, I saw no gangsters. I ran up the steps of the apartment and knocked on the door, adjusting my backpack strap. I breathed in deeply, preparing to brace myself for my mom. Hopefully she had cookies ready. I opened the door slightly, then all the way when I heard shuffling in the living room.

"Mom! I'm home-"

I froze, my skin tingling.

Then, I looked down at my chest.

I had been shot.

By a Nerf gun.

Only one explanation, of course.

"Puck?" I asked, a grin forming on my face.

Suddenly, a figure tumbled from the side of the couch, shooting wildly. "Thy enemy has spotted me!" He did a few flips to show off, then projected himself in the air until he landed on his feet. He stood up, and pretended to blow the steam off his gun. His green eyes sparkled with mischief. "What's up, sister-in-law?"

My grin spread widely. "Puck!" I hugged him tightly. "What are you doing here?"

"I assume you mean what are 'we' doing here?" a voice commented from the kitchen.

I let out a surprised gasp. "Sabrina!" I practically launched myself at her.

"Whoa! And I thought Mom said you were all mellow now," she laughed, hugging me tightly. "How are you, little sister?"

"You know only you and Puck can bring out my inner me. And I'm doing great! How's the police work?" I asked excitedly, practically jumping.

She winked. "It's a secret remember? But in Daphne-secret-code, it's gravy. Hard, but gravy."

Puck put his arm on my head. "Not as hard as flying almost 300 people from place to place every day, of course."

Sabrina scoffed. "My job is just as important as yours. I have the lives of the world practically in my hands!"

"Well, I have the lives of rich people in 'my' hands. Flying an airplane isn't as easy as you'd think. Learning to use my wings were easy -learning all these stupid buttons and procedures was a bunch of bullelephants."

"Bullelephants?" Sabrina echoed.

Puck winked at me. "We still keep in contact, Grimm. Unlike you."

Sabrina's eyes down casted. "I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in awhile, Daphne."

I beamed at her. "That's all right! I love surprise visits!"

"So, how was this beach trip Mom told us about?" Sabrina asked, taking a seat at the dining room table.

Speak of the devil, Mom popped her head out of the kitchen, the aroma of cookies filling the room. "Daphne! Aw, you're back! I missed you so much! So how was it? Any cute guys get to see you in your bikinis?"

"Mom!" I said, turning red.

Puck twitched slightly. "Bikini?" This was the only flaw with having Puck as my brother-in-law. He took the protective, older brother role seriously. The last boyfriend I dated was threatened not to speak to me again after Puck had seen him at a party with a girl. Much later, I had to explain to my dear brother that the girl had been his cousin.

"Mom replaced all my one-pieces with bikinis, Puck," I said, turning my nose up at my mom. "If you want to twitch at someone, twitch at her."

"Mom, you know how much I don't like Daphne wearing bikinis, right?" Puck said, used to calling my mom as his own. Of course, since Titania died, she really was his only mom.

"Well, don't you think I know how much you 'do' like Sabrina in bikinis?" she replied back smartly. My sister turned red.

Puck saw her blush and smirked at my mom. "That's different. She's my wife after all."

Even though they had been married for about three years now, I always had to make an 'Aww' sound. "Gosh, you guys become cuter every time I see you!"

Puck stared at me. "I am not...cute."

"Sure you are!" Sabrina smirked at him, ruffling his hair. "That's why I married you right?" It seemed that my sister was getting the upper hand.

Puck composed himself again before saying with a smirk. "No, you married me because I was best in bed and best as boyfriend."

Sabrina's face flamed. "I did not! And we didn't make love until we were married!"

My mom practically squealed at me. "Aw, she said love! Not sex! That's adorable!"

"From what you remember," Puck winked at Sabrina, seeming oblivious to my mom's comment. "You have gotten drunk before..."

Smack. "I think I would know if I had ever gotten with you before, Puck!"

"Maybe I sprinkled forgetful dust on you."

"You're annoying, you know that?"

Puck leaned forward and kissed her lips. "You love it, babe."

"Gosh, you two are quite the bickering couple," I commented, putting my hands under my chin.

They blinked, as if realizing Mom and I were there. They smiled sheepishly. "Forgot you two were there..."

Mom clapped her hands. "You two are like little kittens! But come on into the kitchen -I made cookies."

Puck and I automatically swiveled our heads towards the kitchen.

"Cookies?" I echoed.

Cookies were the only real thing my mom could cook, and, I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but they are awesomesauce.

"Charge!" Puck yelled, both of us running for the kitchen. We took the cookies eagerly from the plate.

Mom laughed as she entered the kitchen with Sabrina. "They'll always be kids on the inside...that warms my heart!"

Sabrina shook her head, smiling, and took a seat next to me at the table. "So, mom, when are Dad and Basil coming home?" she asked, taking a bite out of Puck's cookie. He let out a grunt in protest, but did nothing under Sabrina's intense glare.

"Aren't you scared of getting mononucleosis by sharing, 'Brina?" I asked, looking as she and Puck shared a glass of milk.

She snorted. "No. I haven't gotten sick in years. And Puck's prone to diseases...except 'books' of course."

"I'm telling you, I get rashes and stuff around them!" he exclaimed.

"Then tell me, how did you manage to read that Pilot's Handbook without breaking out into hives?"

I laughed. "Yeah, Puck? Why?"

"I...don't know."

Mom played along. "Gasp! The Great Trickster doesn't know something?"

"I forgive you because you called me the Great," Puck smirked.

Mom rolled her eyes, ignoring him, answering Sabrina's earlier question. "Dad and Basil are coming back in a month or so."

"Why were they gone so long?" I wondered.

Mom waved her at me offhandedly. "Your father says his boss suddenly gave him another long project to do, wanting him stationed in New Jersey for awhile longer. Also, there's some girl Basil's interested in, and he doesn't want to leave."

"That sounds highly unlikely." Puck smirked at Mom. "Better keep your eyes on that Henry -he might be having an affair!"

She rolled her eyes. "He wouldn't. If so, I'd chop off his-"

"Mom!" Sabrina exclaimed, quickly shooting a glance at me. "Daphne's in the room!"

I snorted. "I know what she was going to say, Sabrina. She'd chop off his-"

"Daphne!"

"-arms."

"Oh. Never mind."

"See?" Mom gestured towards me. "Arms."

"What were thinking about, 'Brina?" Puck nudged my sister. "Something naughty?"

Sabrina turned away from us. "Puck's been frying my brain with his suggestive talk. Blame him." Puck snickered.

"I have no idea what she's talking about," he said innocently.

"Oh, stop bickering. It was cute for awhile, now it's boring." Mom picked up the cookie plate."Now, one last cookie! Who wants it?"

Sabrina looked at Mom with a fearful expression. "Oh, no. Why'd you have to say-"

"I'm gonna eat it!" I shouted, reaching for the plate. The cookie was almost in my clutches when Puck let out a distracting screech. I felt the world spin upside down, and found myself staring up at the ceiling, my back towards the floor. Then, I felt pressure on my stomach, the weight nearly crushing me.

Mom and Sabrina looked at the ground. Puck was sitting on top of me, nibbling at the last cookie. Mom gasped, "Oh, Daphne!"

Suddenly, all the weight was gone, and I was crushed in an embrace instead. "Oh, good! You're okay!"

I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw Sabrina practically pounding her fists into Puck's chest. "You could've killed her!"

"But I didn't!" he wheezed as Sabrina punched him again. "Geez!"

I laughed at their expressions. "Sabrina, it's okay! I didn't die, so I forgive him."

"Forgive him? If I was the one who was sat on, I'd swear off his kisses for a month!"

Puck's jaw dropped open. "Whoa, what?"

Sabrina ignored him, sighing at me. "I can't be as nice as you."

My chest puffed up. "Without people like me, the world would've ended years ago."

Mom smiled at me. "That's true. The world would've also ended if we didn't have good, charming men like Mr. Firay."

Sabrina and Puck blinked. "Who?"

Mom laughed. "Oh, I didn't tell you two? Daphne has a charming home economics teacher. Oh! Puck, did you know Mustardseed became Daphne's teacher? Guess how surprised I was-" Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up, oblivious to our blank stares. Mom glanced at the screen and smiled sheepishly. "I have a business call. I'll be right back." Then, she walked out of the room, taking her phone with her.

Puck bore his eyes into mine. "My brother's...you're teacher?"

"Did Mom just call him charming?" Sabrina said.

I looked at them, mimicking their same expressions. "I...I think so."

Puck stood up. "When the heck did that happened?"

"At the beginning of the school year, obviously. You two are brothers. Shouldn't you have known that?" I asked.

"I haven't talked to Mustardseed in almost four years," he deadpanned.

"What? Why? How come I didn't know this?" Sabrina demanded.

"After my real mom died, he just drifted away. He never called me, or sent letters. That's why he wasn't at our wedding." He muttered to himself, "I had hoped he'd at least tell me when he got a job..."

"He's my Home Economies teacher, actually. I don't know if you've ever tried his cooking, but -don't tell him I said this- it's really good."

"Hmm, I might have to pay a visit to him then. When I get another break from work, that is," Puck said thoughtfully.

"Now spill."

"Huh?" I blinked, staring at my sister.

She rolled her eyes. "Daphne, I'm not stupid. Even though I never wanted it, I've inherited the 'blood of the detective', as Granny used to call it." She trailed her finger across my jaw. "You have a cut on your jaw, Daphne. It also goes a little further down your neck. What happened during the beach trip?"

I stared at her. How did she manage to see that? "Well that's new: observant adults," I commented, trying to steer the question away.

Puck snorted. "Daphne, you know that when Sabrina's into something, she won't stop until she gets what she wants...ooh, that can be interpreted into two ways."

Sabrina elbowed him in the chest. "Shut up. Now, Daphne, what happened?" Her eyes softened, and she took my hand.

My eyes down casted to the floor. "Um, these two guys pulled a switchblade on me..."

"A switchblade?" both Sabrina and Puck exclaimed, staring at me. "Are you nuts?"

"Aren't those illegal?" my sister choked out.

Puck said to her, "Only if they're wider than the person's palm, that is. Was it, Daphne?"

"Um, yeah." Hopefully they wouldn't ask how I managed to escape.

I saw Sabrina's eyes harden. "If I ever find the brats who did this to you..."

"...they will have a Grimm ending. Get it? Ha!" Puck chuckled to himself.

Sabrina shot him a look, and he rubbed her back. "I'm trying to lighten the subject, Sabrina. I don't like it when you're tense."

Sabrina closed her eyes, and leaned against him. "You're lucky I love you."

I smiled at the pair. They were too adorable... I frowned. It must be nice to be able to go out in public, holding hands and being able to show affection. If Mr. Firay and I got together, we wouldn't be able to do that... Wait, what am I thinking? I turned red, and looked away, hoping the two wouldn't see my blush.

I could almost feel Puck smirking. "Too intimate for you, Daphne? What if we had sex in this very room right now?"

"Excuse me?"

We looked up, and saw my mom with a disapproving look on her face.

"If you two are going to make love, at least use a condom."

"Um…" I shifted uncomfortably in my seat.

Mom continued, oblivious to Sabrina's appalled face,"I want grandbabies in the future, though! And Daphne has to wear blacked out safety goggles and ear plugs while you two are at it."

I think dying right now is something Sabrina and I wouldn't mind right now.

A/N. VERONICA'S TOO OCC! AAH! AH! AAHHH!

Sorry if this wasn't my best work. :/ I worked on this yesterday night (10:00, and I was already feeling drowsy), and during the trip to school, and after school. It wasn't much time, but I'll edit this soon. Promise.

Um, two more days of the five day update! Do you want me to update tomorrow and Thursday, or Thursday and Friday? Oh, wait, I'm going to be in Orlando Friday...nevermind. xD Hopefully I update on Sunday, when we get back. We're going to Disney World for Kian's birthday (he's so excited *sarcasm* I don't know what's wrong with Disney, but he says he'd rather go there than Atlantic City's aquarium...)! Yay! ^^ I can't believe he's turing 7...*sniffles* Soon, he'll be bringing home a girl...*sniffle*

Anyways, thanks SO much for your support in everything! ^^ Nominating me in Elli's story, reviewing this, and giving feedback other than "OMFG! LOVE LOVE UPDATE UPDATE!" makes me really happy. XD I think I'll give you guys a sneak peek of an upcoming chapter (not next though, close-ish). Dialogue only:

"What were your reasons for fighting people?"

"I was challenged. I was never the one to start a fight. Provoking people is a different story though."

"But, why?"

"Because I thought fighting was the best thing ever when I was younger. It excited me, it made me feel alive, and there was no one that could stop me."

"What do you mean?"

"My mom wasn't around. And all my relatives lived too far away to even know what I was doing."

"You just said your mom wasn't around when you joined the gang. But the time you were giving me a ride home you said your mom died, which was only two years ago. Did you lie about that?"

"What? No! Do you honestly think that I'd lie about something like that?"

"Then what did you mean?"

"I meant they were so busy with work they were never home. Why would you think I'd lie about my mom dying?"

"Well you did lie about that other thing…"

"Daphne, I'm sorry I lied to you."

"Do you promise not to lie to me again?"

:D I'm evil. Of course, everything -EVERYTHING- is going to be revealed before chapter 40. Maybe chapter 35 or so. So...yeah! ^^
