I'm soooo sorry that this took me so long to update!! All I'll say is that this has been a tough summer. And then I'll leave it at that.

For everyone who reviewed, thank you so much! You may not know it, but it really means a lot. I'll try to do my best to update more often, I really will.

So about this chapter, it was really quite fun to write, since the climax is something that actually happened, with a few changes. So I hope you enjoy this!

Disclaimer: I do not own The Sisters Grimm, much to my everlasting disappointment.

Thanks always to libaka, who betas even when she's doing something else.

Chapter 24. Laugh

Sabrina huffed a breath, crossing her arms and glaring at her plate. For ONCE it would be nice to have normal food around, but clearly that was beyond Granny to do. And to top it off, Daphne was ignoring her AGAIN, and Puck was being stupid as usual. Shoving the plate away from her, Sabrina snagged some bread and glanced up to see Canis watching her. Again.

She rolled her eyes and angrily bit into the bread, only to spit out whatever she just bit into. What was that?!

"Oh, liebling, don't you like the bread? It's stuffed with frog legs, and quite the delicacy!" Granny smiled at Sabrina obliviously.

Sabrina gagged and dropped the bread onto her plate. When she glanced up, she was surprised to see everyone at the table other than Granny staring at the bread bowl. Puck looked torn between being intrigued and slightly disgusted, Daphne for once actually looked grossed out, and Canis looked like he was praying. When she made eye contact with Canis, he sighed and left his seat.

The blonde-haired girl had returned to glaring at her plate when something was placed next to her glass. She peeked up and saw a peanut butter sandwich discreetly wrapped in a napkin. Canis sat down at his place again and picked up his fork, while Puck and Daphne seemed oblivious to the fact that Sabrina was getting out of eating dinner. Again. Sabrina gave a tentative smile to Canis, and was rewarded with a slight nod.

Sabrina hurriedly ate her sandwich, discreetly moving the mysterious food on her plate to Puck's plate or to the floor where Elvis waited. He'd learned quickly that she was the best bet for a meal, especially since she didn't like Granny's food. Of course, all this extra food seemed to make her his favorite human, but she didn't really mind that very much.

She grinned innocently at Granny when the woman said, "Oh Sabrina! An empty plate again? I knew you'd like it!" She didn't actually, but she'd take what praise she could get from Granny, since it didn't happen all that often.

Sabrina politely refused seconds, and gleefully watched Daphne and Puck hesitantly try the breaded frogs' legs. Somehow, neither of them had ever realized how she finished her meals.

Once Puck got another serving of whatever the main course was to wash down the taste of frogs' legs (he'd decided never to eat frogs ever again), Granny suddenly asked, "Sabrina, dear, what's your favorite food?"

Sabrina looked up, startled. Granny NEVER asked what she liked. Sabrina was somewhat convinced that Granny just didn't care, but maybe it had suddenly occurred to the woman that not everyone liked green meatballs and orange sauce. Sabrina doubted that.

The woman patiently let Sabrina think, then asked, "Dear? Any ideas?"

Sabrina watched Puck take a huge mouthful of food and start washing it down with pumpkin juice, and got a horrible, evil idea. But it would be entirely worth it.

She smiled brilliantly at her grandmother. "Sure Granny!"

The woman blinked curiously. Sabrina continued, just as Puck began to swallow, "I just LOVE Ants on a Log!"

Although she got scolded later, Sabrina knew it would always be her favorite memory. Granny's scream when Puck choked and spat Fried Eggplant and Curry Sauce mixed with Pumpkin Juice across the table all over her front was totally worth it. As was Daphne's hysterical laughter and Canis' curious look, and later, a plate of celery covered with peanut butter and raisins on top left by her door. Indeed, Ants on a Log was now her ultimate favorite food. Although, Sabrina wasn't sure she'd ever be able to look at her favorite treat and not laugh ever again.

*********************************************************************************************************************

A/N I hoped you liked it, and Ants on a Log is an actual treat that I used to have a lot as a kid. You take a stick of celery, spread peanut butter over it, and place raisins in a line into the peanut butter. It's very good, and I thought of it because I had some a few days ago, and my mom laughed when I told her I still call it Ants on a Log. I thought it might just be an outrageous enough name to startle Puck. :)

Oh, and the whole spitting-food-out thing happened a few weeks ago. I was eating dinner with my family, and apparently I made a very funny face while telling a story. My mom, who was sitting across from me, was taking a drink at the time. She choked, and ended up coughing her drink across the table. I thankfully slid out of the way, and my sister and I died laughing. My dad wasn't impressed with our senses of humor. :P

Please R&R,
