Fablehaven- Brackendra Adopting A Kitten

Fablehaven- Brackendra adopting a Kitten

They need a kitten. (No, I don’t think that they should be dating at this point in the book, but it works best with this idea. Also, it is set between Dragonwatch and Keys of the Demon Prison.) 

Please adopt, don’t shop. :)

Kendra looked up at Bracken, who was standing behind the couch she was sitting on, looking pleased with himself and holding a silvery blue-wrapped box with a large bow on top.

He was such a chronic gift-giver, it was adorable.

‘Hey Bracken!’

‘Hi, Kendra- I have something for you!’ He handed Kendra the box, which she promptly tore apart. Lifting the lid, she saw a box filled with chocolates, and a printout of a cat silhouette taped to the bottom. Her squeal was ear-splitting.

‘WE’RE GETTING A CAT!?!?’ Bracken grinned at her shyly.

‘I thought it might be a good idea- I have already talked to Mother and your Grandparents about it. We’re going to the shelter this afternoon to adopt a kitten for the two of us.’ He thought for a moment. ‘Seth is getting a puppy, too, but that one is separate.’

Kendra continued jumping up and down in her seat, squealing excitedly and grinning like a maniac.

Two hours later, Bracken and Kendra were standing outside the shelter, with Kendra hanging on to Bracken’s arm in excitement. She hadn’t calmed down at all.

Walking inside, they were greeted by a lovely receptionist, who took them to the kitten room, before leaving them to their own devices choosing a kitten.

It took a while to circle the room, and Kendra was getting more and more disappointed as she didn’t find the ‘right one’ that they both loved.

Until they saw a tiny little silver tabby kitten with the brightest blue eyes that reminded her of Bracken. And fell instantly in love with her. And named her.

Reading her thoughts, Bracken smiled at her. 

‘I was wondering when you’d see her. I agree- Mizelle is a pretty cute name, and my sister loves kittens enough that she’s be honoured to be this kitten’s namesake.’ Kendra just grinned wider, and half an hour later, the two of them were walking towards their cat, holding Mizelle in their arms.

One hour, and five different stops at pet stores later, Mizelle was home and practically showered in toys and gifts, with everything she could want and more.

And the fact that Seth’s new Irish Setter’s name was Mitzy wasn’t confusing at all.

Fablehaven Head canons

-Warren is terrible at comforting people- he normally just awkwardly pats people on the back saying ‘there, there’

-Kendra is a neat freak

-Seth is NOT

-Grandma and Grandpa Sorenson have put a small alarm on the boundary of the yard, so they know when Seth sneaks off

-The question Grandma didn’t want to answer in book 1 (with the jinn) was either about her family, the artefact on the preserve, or important Knight stuff.

Fablehaven Head canons

(Yes, I know that I have done a lot- maybe I’ll try and write a Fanfic next)

-Bracken isn’t tone deaf, but he isn’t a good singer either. Same with Seth!

-Kendra is edging towards the ‘good singer’ side of things though :)

-Seth is totally a dog person, but Kendra loves cats

-Scott is allergic to both, so they never had either until Fablehaven

-I know this isn’t a head canon, but remember the salt in book 1?

Fablehaven Characters as Foods

-Bracken is probably either ice cream or water.

-Kendra is totally a burrito.

-Seth the guacamole!

-Warren has to be cake. Or pancakes!

-Vanessa would probably be straight black coffee- not a food, I know, but accurate.

Fablehaven Characters playing Charades

-Warren being completely and utterly crazy, and nobody can guess. And if they do, he’s so completely over-the-top that it is hilarious- once he got ‘ballerina’ and he put on a whole ballet recital

-Bracken would be confused, and very shy, but people always manage to guess his just fine

-Seth is pretty crazy, but he loves the game enough that he makes it so people can guess

-Kendra is pretty average

-Dale would never play

-And Vanessa is the Charades Queen

Fablehaven Head canons

Yes, it’s short. Literally two head canons. But I’m running out!

-Warrenessa’s first kid would be a boy (Idk why, but I always thought he’d be called Jack, too)

-If Brackendra ever had a kid, it’d be a girl
