Attention

23: Prom

It was the week of prom, and every day there were over the top promposals happening during lunch or in between classes. But Puck had something different in mind.

"We've been wandering around for almost an hour. The sun has already set," Sabrina complained. "Do you even know where you're going?"

"Of course I do." Puck said proudly. "I know these woods like the back of my hand. And I'm surprised you don't recognize this path."

"There is no path, Puck." Sabrina said. "We've had to push our way through bushes and squeeze between trees. I have splinters in places they shouldn't be!"

"Would you quit your whining?" Puck snapped as they came to a stop in front of a veil of vines covering a clearing in the trees. "We're here."

He pulled back the veil to reveal a magnificent sight. His trash throne had thick vines growing around it covered in roses. Sitting on the throne was his little golden crown that he hadn't worn since middle school. Pixies danced around, blinking in and out of sight.

"Puck, I-"

Puck cut her off as he clipped a necklace around her neck. The pendant was a small yellow stone that glowed bright like the pixies. "It's a translator, so you can understand them," the fairy said as his pixies swarmed together and then flew into a heart shape.

"Will you go to prom with me, Sabrina?" the pixies blinked in the moonlight. Sabrina took a step back and looked up at Puck. He had his trademark smirk on, but she could see the worry in his eyes as if he was thinking "What if she says no?".

"I'd love to, Puck." Sabrina smiled. She watched as the worry faded and was replaced with endearment. Her heart melted when his smirk shifted into a happy grin.

The pixies flew over to the throne, picked up the crown, and dropped it on Sabrina's head. She adjusted it as the pixies picked a rose and handed it to Puck. He picked the thorns off of the stem and tucked it behind Sabrina's ear. It was quiet as the two of them gazed into each other's eyes.

"Can you carry me home? My calves are killing me." Sabrina said, putting her arms up like a little kid who wanted to be picked up. Puck laughed and slung her over his shoulder.

"Hey, this is not what I meant, and you know that!" Sabrina exclaimed when Puck unfurled his wings and took off from the ground. She pouted the whole way home, but when he set her down in the background, she couldn't stay mad. Sabrina stood up on her tip toes and planted a kiss on Puck' cheek. "Goodnight, Goodfellow."

Days passed and eventually prom was right around the corner. But to Sabrina, it felt like no time had passed at all. The days between Puck's promposal and prom itself were all a blur, but one thing she did remember was dress shopping with her mom. That was...something. After five hours of trying on dresses, they finally found the perfect one. And by that I meant they went to a different store and picked out the first pant suit they saw. It was dark green with a white button up and a pair of black dress shoes.

"When you said you and Puck were going to match, I didn't think you meant that you'd be wearing the same thing." Bella said when she walked into Sabrina's room. "Was that planned, or...?"

"Not really." Sabrina admitted. "But my mom did talk to Jake before they went tux shopping, so maybe she had something to do with it." She finished adjusting her collar and turned away from the mirror to face her best friend. Sabrina's jaw dropped when she saw Bella's dress.

It was a two piece with a raspberry pink halter top and a long black skirt that stopped at her ankles. The outfit showed off her new belly button piercing which she may or may not have gotten without her parent's permission. It looked like something a princess might wear if she was out clubbing.

"You like?" Bella said when she noticed Sabrina staring. She tossed her hair over her shoulder and all Sabrina could do was nod. Bella walked over and closed the girl's mouth. They both laughed briefly when they heard someone downstairs make a rather loud comment about how it was almost time to go.

Bella and Sabrina linked arms and made their way downstairs to where everyone was waiting. There was a lot of staring and "wow"s. Daphne waved her hand over Puck's face to make sure he hadn't zoned out, but he smacked her hand away when she teased him for, and I quote, "Making googly eyes at Sabrina".

Sabrina walked over to him and shooed her sister away. Her and Puck looked each other up and down, both too in awe to speak.

"Nice tux," they said in unision. The two of them giggled before Henry walked over.

"Alright, yada yada, be home before midnight. Don't do anything illegal." Jake said, interrupting his older brother. "And most importantly-"

"Don't die?" Sabrina offered. Jake smiled and nodded, repeating what she said. The group of teens made their way outside and into the limo Bella's parents rented for them.

The gymnasium was decorated to look like a scene straight out of a fairytale. It was packed with people and you could barely hear anything other all of the noise. Bella and the boys joined the majority of the students on the dance floor while Puck and Sabrina stayed behind near the snack table.

"Where'd you get that watch?" Puck asked when he saw Sabrina nervously fidgeting with it. Her stomach dropped and the colour drained from her face, but she tried to play it cool.

"Oh, Jake bought it for me," she said. "It's supposed to help with my magic intolerance." Sabrina explained, giving him a closer look at the Time Traveler's Watch. Puck nodded and returned his gaze to Sabrina's face. He grabbed her hand and led her onto the dance floor. They joined their friends and danced the night away. And although Sabrina and Puck didn't end up winning prom queen and king, that went to Ryan and Logan, they had one of the best nights on their lives.

After the dance while they were waiting for the limo to return and pick them up, Sabrina noticed somebody sitting by themself on the stairs to the school. Her black hair was tied up in a bun and her blue dress was gorgeous, she looked like a million bucks, but her brown eyes were filled with tears. Sabrina snuck away from the group and sat down next to her.

"Serenity?"

The girl's head snapped up and she looked at Sabrina with tears in her eyes. She quickly wiped them away and sniffled. "Oh, hey Sabrina. How was your night?"

Sabrina shrugged. It had actually been wonderful, but she wasn't about to brag about that to someone who was crying. She tucked a loose strand of Serenity's hair behind her ear.

"What happened?" Sabrina asked softly. "It's okay, you can tell me anything."

"I-I can?" Serenity stammered, sniffling again. Sabrina nodded and wiped a tear off of Serenity's cheek. The black haired girl smiled, but then sighed and put her head in her hands.

"Chad, he..." She broke out into sobs and Sabrina consoled her, putting an arm around the girl's shoulders and rubbing her back. She felt...bad for her. Which felt wrong, considering what she had done to Puck. But Sabrina knew that Serenity needed a shoulder to cry on that night. And, no matter how much it soaked her tux, she was willing to be that shoulder. Plus, she did kinda owe it to her after killing her.

After Serenity was done crying, she thanked Sabrina and rushed off to the nearest bathroom to fix her makeup. The blonde stood up and rejoined her friends just as the limo arrived. She sat next to Puck on the drive back.

"Who were you talking to over there?" he asked. Sabrina paused before smiling gently.

"A friend."
