Fablehaven Secret Santa

Fablehaven Secret Santa

Hello! It is finally the 19th, so I can release my gift for @imasorenson! Hope you like it.

While the line would normally snake from the entrance all the way back to the end of the carefully placed markers and beyond, today there were only about twenty people in front of Kendra and Bracken, who were waiting to be admitted into the amusement park.

Kendra had insisted they they come, seeing as Bracken had never been to one, and the fact that Christmas was only a few days away was just an added bonus. Warren had pounced on the two of them earlier in the week, practically holding them at sword point after Kendra had mentioned they were planning to visit the park, telling the two that they should go while school was still in to avoid the madness. It had taken a day or two of planning, but they had finally arrived.

Warren had been right. Since there were so few people, it only took about ten minutes for the couple to be admitted.

“What do you want to do first, Bracken?” Kendra grinned at him, already bouncing up and down, even if she wasn’t on a sugar high. Yet.

“What is there?” Bracken asked.

“More like what isn’t there! We could go on a rollercoaster, or another ride, eat food, go to the arcade-style games, or one of the stalls like throwing darts.”

“What is a rollercoaster?” Bracken’s confusion was all it took. He eyed Kendra’s evil smile nervously, as she took his hand and practically dragged him to the ride. Once again, the few people around made for a short queue, and the safety bar was being lowered in no time.

“Oh, before I forget, when we go down, you need to scream.” Bracken looked at his girlfriend, horrified.

“Do you know what happened the last time I screamed!? Seth and I were in a tickle fight, and the fairies and Astrids thought I was in trouble! It took ages to turn Seth back into something vaguely recognizable, and that was only a tiny whinny! And don’t even get me started how they managed to fit inside the house, because I don’t know, there were that many of th-AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

The last part was because, while Bracken was rambling, the rollercoaster had made it up to the top of the ‘hill,’ and gone over. He had begun screaming in shock, while Kendra laughed so had she could barely breathe. As they began climbing the next ‘hill,’ Kendra leaned over and kissed Bracken.

“It’s a good thing I cleared it with your mother first, then.” Her giggles made a comeback when she saw Bracken’s shell-shocked face.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The rest of the day was amazing. Bracken and Kendra went around to everything, and soon Bracken redeemed himself with a prefect aim, and a large fluffy Unicorn toy. (Insert Despicable Me ‘It’s so fluffy I’m going to die scene’ here, lol.)

Lunch was spent sitting down at a picnic table with a tub of hot chips, churros, and soft drinks, after which Kendra took Bracken to get his face painted as a rainbow.

By the time the two made it home, the sky was dark and the house’s lights were all on, waiting for them. Seth, Vanessa, Tanu, Grandma and Grandpa, Dale, and Warren were all sitting around the table, phones and cameras at the ready. After Kendra had told the Fairy Queen about the park the previous day, she’d told everyone else about it. In the end, Kendra had agreed to make sure Bracken got his face painted, and everyone else would be there to take pictures.

Bracken didn’t speak to anyone else for a week after he found out the photoshoot was planned, though he secretly kept a picture to remember the day by.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And that’s the end! Hope you liked it, and Merry Christmas, @imasorenson and anyone else reading!

Fablehaven Head Canons

-Bracken is the youngest, and Mizelle is the second oldest.

-Marla and Scott were crazy invested in the magical world after discovering it. As in, CRAZY, crazy. You’re going to Wyrmroost? Have fun! Dragons? Cool. Demons? Awesome! Both our children are going on a mission with a high chance of death? I’ll pack doggy bags (complete with sandwiches and pop tops!)

-Unicorns age like humans until about 21, when they get their third horn, and even then only look about 15, slowly aging both physically and mentally, so by the time Bracken meets Kendra he is literally 17-ish in everything but official age.

-Kendra ends up doing an online University/college degree, and both the Sorenson's are home-schooled. Since, you know, Kendra is technically legally dead and all that...

Warren, to Vanessa: Your smile? It makes my day.

Bracken, to Kendra: Your happiness? I live for that

Seth: Hotel? Trivago

Amazing

Truth or Dare

“Truth or Dare?” The Question can put of nowhere and caused Bracken to look over at the young shadow charmer chained next to him. “ We’re in a dungeon. ” He replied slightly confused as to what possessed his friend to start this game now. “ Yes, very observant of you. That still doesn’t change my question, Truth or Dare. ” Seth pushed again. Bracken sighed knowing he wouldn’t stop until he got his way and he was in no mood to deal with Lawyer Seth. “Truth.” He replied not even sure what date you could do with you wrists chained to a wall. Though knowing Seth, he’d find a way. “ What are your intentions with my sister. ” “Dare.” Bracken immediately replied, willing to do anything else than have this conversation with Seth. “I dare you to tell me what your intentions with my sister are.” Seth shot back with a massive eye roll. “ you want to talk about this now? ” “ Yeah because now you can’t run away as you’ve been not so subtly doing every time I mention it. Besides what else are we supposed to talk about? ” “Oh I don’t know, escape plans? ” Bracken replied sarcastically, desperately trying to get out of having this conversation. He loved Seth, he was like the little brother he never had but that didn’t make any of it any less awkward. “Just answer the question.” Seth said with yet another eye roll. “ I don’t know what to say Seth. Kendra is amazing, I love her with all of my heart and I can’t imagine life without her. ” “That’s super sappy.” Now it was Bracken’s turn to roll his eyes at the reply. “ Now I do believe it’s my turn, Truth or Dare? ” “Oh so now you want to play? You didn’t seem so eager two minutes ago.” “ Just answer the question. ” Bracken mocked earning a chuckle from the Shadow charmer. “ Dare. ” “ I dare you to tell me why your so invested in your sisters love life. ” Bracken replied turning the boys own trick against him. Seth sighed heavily and looked away, the chains jingling  as he attempted to run his hand through his hair out of habit. “I just, really don’t want Kendra to get hurt.” He replied after several minutes of silence,  " She’s been hurt before and it took her a really long time to trust people again, to open up and talk to people. “ I guess I just want to make sure you know this isn’t a game. Kendra loves you and I don’t want anyone to play with her heart. I don’t want anyone to take advantage of that again. ” “ Seth, I will never ever take advantage of Kendra. She means the world to me, she is my world. And yeah I know sappy but it’s true. I promise you the very last thing in the entire world that I want to do is hurt Kendra. ” Bracken perfectly understood where Seth was coming from, having been there himself on several occasions, but he couldn’t find a way to make sure Seth believed him anymore that he had when he first head similar words. “ I hope for your sake that’s true, because I promise you if you ever hurt her I will make Zzyzx look like the best place on earth. ” “ I believe you, but you won’t have to” Bracken told him and he could help the shiver that shook him at the boys words, the temperature in the room seeming to drop as he made the threat. “I hope not. Now Truth or Dare?” Seth asked again returning to his usual lighthearted and mischievous tone. “ You know what Seth, Dare. Just because I’m curious. ” “ I dare you to make a high pitched scream and act like your scared of a spider. ” “What? Why?” Bracken questioned wondering where the idea had even come from. “ I want to see what the guards do. ” Seth replied with a shrug as if it was the most logical answer in the world.  Yeah this was going to be interesting .
