Kendra- “Why”

Seth- “Why not? You microwave popcorn.”

Kendra- “But French Fries aren’t popcorn!”

Seth- *Sneaks a badly burned, unrecognizable lump that used to be a French Fry into his mouth and chews slowly*

I shoved my books into my bag and grabbed Seth’s. He’d forgotten it when he ran out that morning.

I made it to school, thankfully, with enough time to hunt down Seth and give him his book.

“Thanks, general.” He chirped, with a cheeky grin.

I rolled my eyes, he was still calling me that from when I’d led the fairies against Bahumat. Brat.

“You’re welcome seal boy.”

I left to my first class of the day.

“You were almost late Kens, what happened?”

“Oh, Seth forgot one of his books at home, I had to bring it to him.”

They blinked, “Oh that sucks that your parents made you do that.”

I blinked, “They didn’t make me? I just brought it to him.”

They looked at me in confusion. Weird.

I scrambled for my things and realized Kendra forgot her water bottle. Oh well, I guess I have enough time to get it to her.

I hurried to the bus and sat with my friends.

“What’s with the water bottle?”

“Oh, Kendra forgot it, I’ll drop it off in her class on our way in.”

They stared, “Dude, since when did you grab your sister’s things? I thought she was annoying?”

I blinked, “I mean she can be obnoxious but she’s not that bad. She’s got my back.”

They just stared. I shrugged and changed the subject.

We reached the school and I found her classroom.

“Hey sparkles!”

Kendra turned, rolling her eyes, “Yeah battery boy?”

“You forgot your water bottle,” I tossed it to her.

She brightened, “Thanks!”

“No prob, see you later.”

“Bye.”

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

“Pool Party!” Alyssa cried, jumping in the small lake they were visiting.

Seth snickered beside me, “Careful sis, you might get dragged in.”

I laughed, “Then it’d be a real shame if you fell in huh?”

I shoved him in, laughing as he squawked.

I laughed on the dock as he surfaced.

“Naiad!” He cried, lunging for my foot.

I quickly scrambled back, giggling as he tried to reach me.

“You’re a little to male to be a Naiad Seth.”

“I’ll get you yet you pesky boring human! With your short life span and and stylish clothes!”

I laughed again, “You’re so dumb Seth.”

“I don’t get it.” Trina muttered.

The lake was a lot of fun.

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

“Ugh, come on general sparkles, do you have to have so many people over?”

“There’s three of us Seth.” Kendra grumbled.

I huffed, “No there’s four.”

“I meant there’s three guests here.”

“You should be clearer.”

I walked into Kendra’s room after her, then noticed the window open.

“Oh no! You’re letting the wolves in!”

Kendra laughed, “We’d better close the window before the snake’s follow.”

“We’re all going to get eaten by wolves and snakes and it’s all your friends fault General Sparkles. You should kick them out.”

“Just grab the shotgun.”

I stuck my tongue out. She made a face back.

I couldn’t help laughing at the confusion on her friends faces.

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

Trina shook her head, “I don’t get their relationship. Just last year Kendra did nothing but complain about Seth, now they have inside jokes and nicknames that aren’t insulting… I think?”

“Yeah,” Alyssa said, “It’s so weird. Did you hear them the other day? Seth was drinking milk and Kendra made a comment about him being able to see like her again and he just laughed and said at least he didn’t have to see ugly goblins?”

“Seriously?” Brittany asked, “That’s so random.”

“Yeah. I wonder what happened.” Trina murmured.

“I don’t know.”

“Beats me.”

Fablehaven Brackendra + Centaurs

It was a miserable day- the sky couldn’t seem to decide it it wanted to rain, be cloudy, or just be both at once. Which, of course, was why the Centaurs insisted on meeting outside to discuss Vanessa’s punishment.

‘Honestly- it isn’t even that bad! Bracken can just sever the hold, Greymane!’ Kendra was tired of all the polite compromises, and the outburst took her by surprise. Bracken winced beside her.

The tall Centaur pulled himself up, trying to look as intimidating as possible. Which really wasn’t all that hard.

‘You dare side with the Narcoblix? Even after all the has done to you, and, worse, you dare insult ME? I am the leader of the Centaurs! No puny mortal shall get away with such blasphemy in my presence!’ 

He began to take a threatening step towards Kendra, and just as he was about to take another, Bracken was suddenly there in front of him. Greymane blinked in surprise, and before he could say anything more, Bracken’s fist smashed into his face. The old Centaur staggered backwards, his nose bleeding slightly, and glared at Bracken in shock.

‘And, more importantly, nobody gets away with threatening Kendra in my presence. Vanessa will be pardoned, and we will take away her pizza privileges for a month. No exceptions. And no compromises. That is my final offer, Greymane.’ Kendra gaped at her boyfriend, before the Centaur glowered in assent, trotting away in humiliation.

It would have been a fight that they all knew Bracken would win anyways.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         ‘Hey, I try to be a peaceful being!’ Bracken argued.

‘You punched a Centaur in the face! Greymane, no les!’ Kendra retaliated.

‘He threatened me.’

‘No, he threatened ME.’

‘When someone threatens you, they threaten me, because you are my life.’

‘...That was incredibly smooth and beautiful...’

‘You still punched a Centaur in the face, though.’

‘Wait. You punched Greymane in the face!? And I wasn’t even there!?’ Seth was upset to say the least. Although perhaps for all the wrong reasons. Kendra hadn’t even noticed him sneaking up on her.

Bracken blushed slightly, looking down in embarrassment.

‘He threatened Kendra.’

‘NOW you admit it!’ Kendra grinned. Suddenly Bracken seemed to realize something.

‘Oh no. Mother’s going to kill me.’

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

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

Seth: Hotel? Trivago

Seth: *loses warren in a crowded room*

Seth: *cups hands around mouth* oh no, someone is about to harm kendra!

Warren: *screaming*

Warren: I WILL BREAK THEIR NECK

Seth: found him.

YES! I can totally see this happening, THIS IS AMAZING

Headcannon that when Bracken gets overwhelmed or anxious or just having a rough time, Kendra will let him draw on her arms to calm him down.

-Bracken loves nature and drawing leaves and fairy wings helps him calm down.

-Kendra bought a bunch of different colored pens just for him.

-The first time was an accident. 

-Bracken was really tired and fidgety, tapping his pen against his fingers.

-He was really good at acting like nothing was wrong, so no one noticed he was off.

-Until he drew on Kendra’s hand.

-Bracken wasn’t thinking when he drew a leaf on her and when he realized, he was super embarrassed.

-”I’m so sorry Kendra! I wasn’t thinking! I just– Let me get a paper towel! I’m so sorry!”

-Kendra just looked at it smiling and quietly asked if he could draw a flower too.

-Kendra loves it. Sometimes she’s self conscious about her various scars and how she can see her veins and how she’s not as muscular as Mara or Vanessa.

-Whenever she feels inadequate she can look at her hands and see faded pen with beautiful doodles curling around scars and making made up constellations out of her few freckles and she feels so much better.

-Bracken was super worried she’d be mad at first, so the next few times he would only do a little, but it really DID help. And then he noticed that Kendra wouldn’t wash it off right away. Maybe she really does like it?

-So its a bit of a habit.

-It’s not all the time, and it’s normally small. It’s hardly noticeable. 

-But it makes helps them both.

I just need more of my anxious adorable children.
