Next up! Sorry I didn't do this yesterday, I was planning to, but life got very busy! I figured that Goldilock's kiss wouldn't work, because there's no way Michael Buckley will make it that easy.

Enjoy

Chapter 8. Holiday

"This is great! I can't wait for everyone to get here!" Daphne squealed as she rushed down the hallway to take another look at the lights adorning the living room. It was New Years Eve, and the Grimm family had decided to have a party. Well, Granny and Daphne did anyway. It would be a little less fun without Snow White, Charming, Canis, and the Merry Men there, but the two were determined to bring back some cheer into their lives. After all, they had saved Canis and Snow White, and turned Charming back to their side. Why shouldn't they celebrate?

Sabrina, however, was less then enthused. They hadn't even managed to wake up Mom and Dad, why should they be celebrating? Goldilocks' kiss hadn't worked, and the poor woman had been distraught over not realizing that she wasn't in love anymore, and had consequently needed a lot of comforting. Sabrina was exhausted, and guiltily relieved that her father had fallen out of love with Goldi. The woman was a complete drama queen.

"Hey, is the coast clear?" Sabrina turned to see Puck looking at her through the slit of his slightly opened door.

"What do you mean?"

"Is the marshmallow gone?"

"Yes?" Sabrina wondered what could possibly have the Trickster King so terrified. What had Daphne done?

"What'd she do to you?" Sabrina asked.

Puck flushed. "She keeps trying to convince me to hang mistletoe. The kid won't listen that that stuff's for grownups, one, and two, it's not Christmas anymore!"

Sabrina bit her lip. What could that girl possibly be up to?

"So, is she gone?"

"Well, yeah. I think she just went into the kitchen to steal some food from Granny before everyone comes…"

Puck slipped out of his room. "Oh thank goodness. I was wondering if I'd have to hide the entire time. If the old lady's there the marshmallow won't say anything."

He grabbed her arm and tugged. "Quick! Before she gets back!" Sabrina followed silently.

The two snuck down the stairs and checked to see if Daphne was in the kitchen with Granny. She was. The two darted towards the kitchen to get there before Daphne realized that Puck was outside.

The doorbell rang just as the two made it to the dining room. "I'll get it!" Daphne cried and the little girl hurtled towards the door, the two older kids making it under the table just before she entered the dining room.

The two huddled under the dining room. Puck looked panicked. "Forget about the food! I'm getting out of here!"

He dragged himself out from under the table, Sabrina following slowly. She wondered to herself 'and why am I following him?'

The two made it to the front of the dining room as Daphne threw open the front door. Jake and Briar Rose smiled at her, then both of their smiles froze as they saw the two kids.

"Wha?" Jake started, and then Briar Rose smiled brighter.

"Oh! Mistletoe!"

Puck and Sabrina glanced at each other, then hesitantly looked up at the doorway above them. There, hanging in all its evil glory, was a sprig of mistletoe. Daphne burst into laughter.

"Hey, Red! They fell for it!" The little red- hooded girl poked her head out from the kitchen.

"Really? How fun!"

Sabrina stared at Daphne in horror. How could she do this? Not after she knew what happened in the future!

Jake grinned slyly. "Now you two have to kiss!"

Puck gulped audibly, still staring in shock at the sprig of greenery above him. Sabrina mentally kicked herself. Who was she to get all frozen up over something like this? She had handled giants and giant spiders and exploding midgets, she could deal with this!

Gathering her courage, Sabrina grabbed Puck's ears, steadying him, and then gently pressed her lips to his. She waited a moment, then released him and ran up the stairs.

Puck remained frozen, staring at the spot where Sabrina had been standing. He blinked, then realized what had just happened. He immediately blushed, glared at Daphne, then stormed into the kitchen where Granny would comfort him by giving him food.

Uncle Jake laughed awkwardly. "Well, that was a good way to set off the night!" Daphne grinned proudly, then skipped back into the kitchen.

As the night wore on, Sabrina went back downstairs, avoiding Puck strenuously, who seemed to be doing the same. She actually enjoyed herself, since Scarecrow was there as well, although he had been ordered to remain seated away from all breakables.

As the crowd turned to the TV for the final countdown to welcome in the New Year, Sabrina took a breath. Not another kissing opportunity. She glanced around quickly, looking for any stray mistletoe. None. Good. She relaxed, then jumped as someone tapped her shoulder. She turned, and met Puck's eyes. Oh dear. He looked determined, and she wasn't sure she wanted to know about what.

Sabrina jumped again when a loud "Happy New Year" echoed through the crowd, and she gave Puck a nervous smile and started to edge away when he grabbed her shoulders.

Sabrina blinked at him, stunned. What was he doing?

She found out when Puck leaned forward and gently kissed her. He pulled back quickly though and muttered, "Happy New Year, Ugly." Then the fairy boy fled through the crowd to the other side of the room, blushing furiously. Sabrina touched her lips lightly, and felt herself smile a little.

Three hours later, after helping Granny clean and after calming two sugar-high girls down, Sabrina could still feel herself smiling. As she lay down next to Daphne and Red, who were sleeping soundly, she thought, 'Maybe this wasn't such a bad holiday after all…'

Tada, I hope you liked it. I don't think I've ever written a kiss before, so I hope it worked out! Please R&R,
