AN~ Yeah, about that long time in updating... my bad. This has been edited!

Sabrina didn't remember where she was, at first. Then, slowly, the events from the previous night came back to her. Moth's room, the Puck posters, the horror, her inability to sleep, and finally, running to the spare bedroom and taking solace with her dad.

"Morning, sweetie." Henry said, picking up his toilettries bag and giving her a peck on the cheek. "I'm going to shave, then see if I can find some breakfast."

"I think I'll just head straight for the food." Sabrina said. "See you there."

She headed for the room she'd begun to think of as the study first, and, sure enough, Puck and Mustardseed were already there, armed with card tables and waffles. She joined them near the fireplace and began to prepare herself some food.

"Where's your mom?" She asked. "I haven't seen her since the party last night."

"Sleeping off the alcohol she had after your speech." Puck said. "I think you shocked her. And speaking of that, my sources say you slept in the guest room last night. Why?"

"I'd been wondering that, too." Henry said, entering the room. "What happened in there?"

Sabrina shuddered. "That room was covered in giant posters of Puck. It felt like I was being watched, and one of them looked like it was blinking. It was too creepy."

"I'm hurt." Puck gasped. "How could you not want to be surounded by moi?"

"Easy." Sabrina said. "One of you is more than enough."

"Fine, then maybe I'll reconsider my plans to entertain you for the two weeks we'll be here with nothing to do." Puck said snootily.

"Wait-what?" Sabrina said. "What plans?"

"What's this about having nothing to do?" Mustardseed asked. "I actually had plenty planned for you, Puck."

"Why don't we just sign the kingdom over to you and be done with it?" Puck asked. "Then you'd be happy, I'd be happy, and everything would be good, except for Mom's sense of proprietaryhood."

"Actually-" Mustardseed said, "That sounds like a really good idea. I'll have the papers drawn up today, and you can sign them this evening. Never mind, I can't think of anything for you guys to do, unless there's a mystery around here."

"Oh please no." Sabrina said. "I'd like a break from that stuff while I'm here. I just want to have fun."

"I believe I'd like to get reacquainted with my old friends." Henry said. "Explain why I've been of the radar for two years, stuff like that. Want to join me, Sabrina?"

Sabrina thought about it. Seeing some of her old friends might be nice. But she really wanted to find out what Puck had planned! ...On second thought, it might be something disgusting. Besides, she had a lot more time left to figure out what he was up to.

"All right." She agreed. "Sounds cool. Puck? You wanna come?"

Puck grinned. "Better than sitting around while Mustardseed acts mature. Besides, this fits right in with what I was planning..."

"Which is..." Sabrina asked.

"No, you said you didn't want me around."

"Come on!" Sabrina complained. "I just invited you to meet my friends! If I didn't enjoy your company, do you think I'd take you to see them?"

"She has a point." Mustardseed interjected.

"Oh, you keep out of this." Puck said. "I wanted her to beg more!"

"Now I'm not going to." Sabrina said. "I can outwait you."

Puck made a face. "I hate you all."

Sabrina just looked at him.

Puck sighed and gave in. "Fine. I was thinking about what you said about not knowing anything about my life before I met your grandma, and I decided that I'll show you what it was like. I was going to make you show me your old life too, but you're doing it already, so..."

"Awesome." Sabrina grinned. "Don't let me die, though, ok?"

"Why would you die?" Puck asked.

"I've heard some of your friend's names." Sabrina said. "Jonas the Betrayer, that other one... They don't sound particularly safe."

"Wimp." Puck said. "You'll be fine. Relax."

"I'm holding you to that." Henry said. "If you come back without her, or if she's hurt, then you're in big trouble."

"I can take care of myself, Dad." Sabrina said.

Puck snorted.

"I'll have none of your sassback." Sabrina muttered. "I was doing just fine before I met you."

"Please." Puck said. "You couldn't even figure out how to get into your own house."

"I'm not talking to you." Sabrina said, standing up.

"Where are you going?" Puck called.

Sabrina said nothing, just left the room. Once she'd taken a shower, brushed her teeth and hair, and gotten dressed, she met her father, Puck, Mustardseed, and Titania in the Golden Egg.

"Ready?" Henry asked.

Puck and Sabrina nodded.

"See you this evening, then." Mustardseed said. "Have a nice time, and those papers will be ready when you get back, Puck."

"Don't get into too much trouble." Titania said dryly. "You Grimms seem to stir things up whenever you're around."

"I've noticed." Sabrina rolled her eyes as she left the building. "It can get kind of annoying."

Henry chuckled, following her. "Occupational hazard. Sure you don't want to quit?"

"Not until after the Scarlet Had thing is finished." Sabrina said. "Daphne would kill me."

"She's getting a little big for her boots, if you ask me." Puck said darkly. "I mean, you gotta love her, but she's being kind of bratty."

"I've noticed." Sabrina said. "But I do kind of deserve it."

"The fact that you know that means her work is done and she can go back to being sweet and adorable." Puck said. "That was more fun."

Henry nodded, and the three continued on to the subway, riding it until they reached Henry and Sabrina's old neighborhood. They spent most of the day wandering the city, meeting up with old friends.

It was during lunch that Sabrina realized she had absolutely nothing in common with her old friends.

"So... Sabrina." Leslie, one of Sabrina's old friends said, "What's the story between you and... Puck, did you say it was?"

"We're friends." Sabrina said, raising an eyebrow. She hoped that Leslie wasn't thinking she and Puck were dating. The reason they'd been friends was that both agreed that the only thing guys were good for was making fun of.

"Nothing... else?" Leslie continued.

"No." Sabrina said shortly. "And my life is too busy at the moment for a relationship like that."

"Right." Leslie giggled.

Rachel, another of Sabrina's old friends, chimed in, saying, "So, I know you were off the radar for a while, but have you heard much from Natalie?"

Sabrina shook her head, but leaned forward, interested. Natalie had been her best friend before the orphanage.

"She and Felicity got pretty close after you left." Rachel said. "They're practically joined at the hip."

Sabrin blinked. She'd expected change, but not the biggest tomboy in the school becoming ms. popularity, let alone the siamese twin of the most shallow girl in the entire school district.

"Anyway, let's talk about happy things!" Becca, another of Sabrina's old friends, spoke up.

The other girls agreed and moved on to talk about what movies they'd seen recently, who had worn what when, who looked the best at the spring dance, and other thinks they assumed Sabrina would be interested in.

Sabrina and Puck just sat and stared, Puck because he couldn't believe Sabrina had ever been friends with people like that, and Sabrina because she wasn't sure these were her friends.

At the end of the day, on the way back to the Golden Egg, Sabrina pointed out the changes.

"I can't believe I ever hung out withe people like that." She said. "They seem so... shallow. Immature."

"I can't belieive you hung out with them, either." Puck said. "How did you stand it?"

"They were different then, I guess." Sabrina said. "It has been two years. People change."

"Actually, aside from being interested in boys, they seemed pretty much the same to me." Henry said. "It could have been a few weeks since we'd seen them, not two years. "It's you who's changed, Sabrina. You've grown up a lot more and faster than they have. I'm proud of you."

"Thanks." Sabrina smiled, blushing. "That means a lot."

"Right, well, now that we've gotten the sweet, adorably sickening father-daghter bonding session out of the way," Puck said, "I'm going to go see if I can lose the responsibility of being king now."

"Jerk." Sabrina muttered, following him into the restaurant.

Inside, Puck and Mustaredseed were sitting at one of the tables, bent over a piece of paper, with Momma, Titania, Scrooge, Tim, Bess, and Hamstead.

"Just in time, Henry." Momma said as they walked in. "We needed a seventh witness."

Henry sat down in the remaining seat and joined the others in reading over the documents that covered the table.

"What do I do?" Sabrina asked.

"You could cover the bar for Momma until we're done." Titania said absently.

Sabrina looked at the group for a little while, saw that they weren't going to offer any entertainment whatsoever, and went off to do just that.

"Hey, gal!" Someone called from the stage.

Sabrina looked over. A cat was beconing to her. "Get me a glass of milk, would you?"

"Sure." Sabrina said.

It took a little while to find the cups, and even longer to find the refridgerator, but once she had, she brought the cat his drink.

"Thanks." He said. "You're the Grimm girl, right? The one who made the speech?"

"Yup." Sabrina said. "And you're the cat with the fiddle, right? From the nursery rhyme?"

"Yeah. Hasn't been much of a band since Bess left, though." THe cat looked over at the table. "I hope she's back to stay."

"Band?" Sabrina asked.

"The Nursery Rhymes." The cat said. "Spoon and Dish do percussion, Bess was vocals, I did the violin, and the Dog was background singer."

"No other instruments?" Sabrina asked.

"Couldn't think of anyone else to join. Except the Pied Piper, but nobody knows where he is."

"Ferryport Landing." Sabrina said. "So is his son."

"Really?" The cat asked. "They'd be and amazing addition to the group."

"If I see them, I'll put in a good word for you." Sabrina said.

"Thanks, kid!" The cat grinned at her.

Sabrina smiled back. "No problem. 'Bye!"

On her way back to the bar, she realized that that was the first time she'd interracted with a talking animal without being completelly freaked out. Or at least one that she didn't know as a human before she found out anything else about them. He'd been pretty nice, actually.

She waited on people for another half and hour or so before the legal group was finished, and headed for the bar as a mass.

"How's it feel to be king, Mustardseed?" Sabrina asked, once they reached her.

"I'm not oficially king until the coronation ceremony. That will probably be tomorrow, but it might take two days instead." Mustardseed said. "But it doesn't feel that different. All it means is that I'll get the credit for doing what I already was doing."

"You can move, sugar." Momma said. "I'll take over from here."

"All right." Sabrina said. "There were some people who wanted alcohol, but I was afraid I'd get in trouble if I handled it, so I just wrote their names down for you."

"Thanks, sweetheart." Momma smiled at her as they switched places.

"Sweet relief!" Puck sighed, plopping down in a swivel chair. "No more responsibility!"

"And here I was thinking that living with you had improved him." Titania muttered.

"We'e working on it." Hamstead said. "I noticed that he read everything himself."

"You sure he read it and didn't just sit there while we read it?" Henry asked.

Bess shook her head. "That would be too boring for him."

"Reading that was boring." Puck said.

"It's nice to see you again, Hamstead." Sabrina smiled.

"Same." He grinned. "Seeing the world was great, but it'll be good to be home. I missed you all."

"Well, I'm off to bed." Puck said, standing up.

"Bed?" Mustardseed asked. "It's eight thirty!"

"And I have a big day tomorrow. Grimm, you ought to go to bed soon, too." Puck said, leaving the room.

"Should I be worried?" Sabrina asked.

Titania shook her head. "That boy loves you."

Mustardseed spoke up before Sabrina could debate that. "I had Moth's room emptied of posters for you. You might want to listen to Puck."

"All right." Sabrina said. "Goodnight everyone."

She kissed her dad on the cheek and left to get ready for bed. After she'd washed off the grit from a day of walking around the city, she entered Moth's bedroom cautiously. Mustardseed was as good as his word. Aside from the excess of pink, it seemed pretty normal, if lavish. She settled down to sleep and was out like a light in minutes.

The next morning, Sabrina was awakened by a hand on her shoulder.

"...Wha..." Sabrina asked.

"Get up, Grimm." Puck said. "I told you I was going to show you what my life was like. It starts now."

"Why?" Sabrina whined.

"We're going to watch the city wake up. Central Park is the best place to do that. I'll get you a coffee or something, just get up!"

"Don't like coffee." Sabrina muttered, climbing out of the bed. "Too bitter."

"I'll find something, then." Puck said, leading the way out of the bedroom.

"Can't I at least get dressed first?" Sabrina asked.

"Later." Puck said.

Once outside, he led the way towards a tree, looked around carefully, then flew into the branches. Sabrina hand unfurled her wings and was about to follow him when she heard a gasp.

"What was that?" Sabrina asked, looking around.

Behind one of the other trees was a man, obviously homeless, alternately staring at Sabrina and Puck.

"Are you an angel?" He asked.

"Um..." Sabrina said, looking at Puck.

Puck ndded.

"Yes?" Sabrina said.

"I don't believe it!" The hobo cried. "A real angel!"

"Sure..." Sabrina said.

"But- what about that other one? Why isn't he dressed like you?"

"He..." Sabrina looked down at herself. She was in the victorian nightgown again. Puck was dressed the same way he always was. "He's your guardian angel. They have to dress that way to fit in so they don't get noticed."

"Oh." The man said. "Then, why are you dressed like that?"

"I'm not a guardian angel." Sabrina said. "I'm his... boss, that's it, and I'm here to check up on his progress."

The hobo chuckled. "Well, he's doin' al right. I'm still alive, 'aint I?"

"Yes you are." Sabrina said. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment. Don't point us out, all right? Nobody's supposed to see us."

"Ah, I get it." The hobo said. "Stealth. Right."

"Sure." Sabrina said. "Go back to sleep."

She flew into the tree and glared at Puck. "Where's forgetful dust when you need it?"

"Never use the stuff." Puck muttered. "People are too funny. Nice job on that guy."

"Thanks." Sabrina said. "You realize there's a guy walking around New York convinced that you're his guardian angel, right?"

"That's worth your free wakeup drink. You just made my day. Wait here, I'll be right back."

Puck returned a few minutes later with a big black can of something called a 'monster.'

"What is this?" Sabrina asked.

Puck shrugged. "The guy at the convenience store called it an energy drink. Sounded like something that would do you good, so I bought it."

Sabrina shrugged, opened the can, and took a sip. "Hm." She said. "Pretty good. Want a sip?"

"Sure." Puck said. "I've already caught the puberty virus, what else can go wrong?"

"Pubery isn't a virus." Sabrina said, handing Puck the can.

Puck accepted it. "Liar. I hope ugly isn't catching, too"

"SHut up." Sabrina snapped, grabbing her drink back. "You eat a lot of my food anyway."

"Which is how I caught puberty." Puck said. "Now-"

He was interrupted by a loud noise at the botom of the tree.
