Chapter 29. Sugar

"Lieblings, come down please!"

Sabrina sighed and rolled off her bed, hitting the floor with a small thud. She wearily got up and worked her way down the stairs, pausing only to press herself against the wall as first Daphne, then Red, and then Puck thundered down the stairs. Granny's way of rewarding the children for showing up when she called was with cookies. Sabrina hoped some would be left by the time she got down there. She was just so tired, after staying up all night researching, and now she couldn't even nap.

Sabrina yawned as she headed into the dining room, absently nodding to Red who handed her a handful of chocolate chip cookies. It seemed Granny didn't know how to mess up cookies, so she made them normally. Sabrina nibbled on her stack of cookies, not noticing Daphne give her a small look.

Granny said cheerfully, "Alright lieblings, I'm going to the store, anyone want to come with?" The children all shook their heads. "Well, alright, but no pranks!" Granny looked sternly at her two granddaughters and two adopted Everafter grandchildren. All four hastily nodded.

When the door shut behind Granny, Daphne turned back to Sabrina, and gaped. "Sabrina!" she hissed.

Sabrina blinked sleepily. "What?"

"You ate all your cookies at once!"

Sabrina looked down at her empty hands, then shrugged and looked up at the small dark haired girl. "Oops."

Puck glanced at Red, who shrugged back. "What's wrong, Daphne?" Red asked.

Daphne rested her chin on her hand. "Hopefully nothing."

The four subsided into silence for a few minutes, then Puck noticed something interesting.

Sabrina had started shifting, tapping her fingers against the table restlessly, and kicking her feet against the table leg. "Hey Ugly, what's wrong?"

He was startled when the girl grinned at him cheekily. "Nothing!" She said in a sing-song voice.

Daphne's groan was covered by Red's question, "Then why can't you stop moving?"

"No idea!" Sabrina said cheerfully.

Daphne stood and pushed Sabrina out of her chair. "Come on, let's get you moving. Red, can you get something for her to drink that's not sugary?" Red nodded hesitantly and went into the kitchen.

Puck followed the sisters into the living room, where Sabrina suddenly hugged Daphne tightly and, carrying her, took off towards the couch. He felt his mouth drop when Sabrina leapt onto the couch, and bouncing lightly, starting talking to Daphne quickly.

"You know, Daph, I've never tried jumping on this thing. Do you think it'll break? I wonder how old it is. Maybe it's older than Dad and Uncle Jake are. Jake is a nice name, nicer than Henry. I wonder if that's why Dad's such a stick-in-the-mud? Because his name makes him that way? Do you think Jake's all happy and youthful-ish because his name is young? But that wouldn't make sense, because then you, me, and Pucky here would all be old-fashioned and boring. I-"

"Put me down!" Daphne shrieked.

Sabrina looked down at the girl curiously. Puck stared when the blonde girl said stubbornly, "No."

With that, Sabrina started jumping up and down on the couch, singing loudly and completely on-key, "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes! DUM DUM DUM!"

Daphne squirmed out of Sabrina's arms, and fled into the kitchen. "Red! Where are you?" Puck heard her shriek, and Red's returning cry, "I can't find anything unsugary! What's happening?!"

Puck blinked and looked back at Sabrina, who, much to his surprise, was sitting on the couch, calmly watching him and smiling.

"Are you okay?"

Sabrina responded with a mischievous grin. "Oh yes. Of course."

She looked like she was about to say more when Daphne came running in, a cup of milk in her hands. "Here Sabrina, drink this!"

She thrust it into Sabrina's hands, who looked down at it, than at Daphne. Puck swore he saw evil amusement flicker in her eyes for a moment, and then Sabrina leapt up and dashed into the dining room. She came strolling out a moment later, holding the sugar dispenser. In front of Daphne's horrified gaze, Sabrina methodically dumped a quarter of the sugar into the cup, then drank deeply.

When finished, Sabrina smiled at Daphne. "Much better!"

Daphne howled with aggravation and wrenched the sugar container and cup from Sabrina's hands and fled back into the kitchen with them.

Puck stared open mouthed when Sabrina muttered, "Darn. She's learning."

He stuttered momentarily, then asked again, "Are you sure you're alright?"

Sabrina smiled again. "Yes, I'm fine."

She blinked when she heard Daphne yell to Red, "Maybe if we give her water she'll calm down!"

The girl turned to Puck and said, too happily for his taste, "Excuse me, must run!" With that, the girl dashed up the stairs and clattered down the hall, Elvis following curiously.

Daphne came back into the living room, carrying what looked like a quart of water to Puck's eyes. She looked around and then turned to Puck, "Where'd she go?"

The fairy shrugged. "Upstairs, I'm not sure why."

The little girl wailed, "You were supposed to be watching her!" and then fled up the stairs, where Puck suddenly noticed a loud banging coming from what seemed to be the girls' room.

Red came timidly out of the kitchen and stood next to Puck, who gazed up the stairs perplexedly.

She cocked her head at him. "Do you think they'll be alright?"

Both jumped when a sloshing noise echoed down the stairs, Daphne's yelp following.

Puck watched, a grin starting to play across his face, as Sabrina hurtled down the stairs, laughing madly, a sopping wet and raging Daphne stomping down after her. Elvis followed, laping water off the floor. Puck looked at Elvis, who seemed to have come to the same conclusion as he had, and was thoroughly entertained.

He answered the young girl standing next to him. "Oh yes, they'll be fine."

The sisters Grimm tumbled out the front door, Sabrina's call echoing back, "You'll never catch me, I'm the gingerbread girl!"

Puck finished, "After all, Sabrina's totally faking it."

Red's startled laugh answered his comment, and Puck wondered when Sabrina had figured out that Daphne didn't stay angry at her when she pretended to be sugar high.
