let's see how far this story will get me...

i don't own Fablehaven or FB

Nearly tripping over a log lying out in the middle of the path, Seth stumbled over the boundary line that separated the perilous woods from the safe yard. Landing face first in the grass, he glanced back at where that dingy old ogress was gagging and huffing. She stood with her palms against the invisible barrier, lumpy face convulsing, avacodo green skin wrinkled and creased, and her sackcloth dress all grungy.

Seth got to his feet, brushing loose soil from shorts and camo t-shirt. Mildly shaking his head, he made his way back to the porch, leaving the orgress tiredly slapping her palms on the magic barrier. If he was lucky, then maybe she would have a heart attack and die. That was a close call, closer than he ever had with the orgress. He doesn't care what Newel or Doren promises him, next time he isn't helping them pillage for soup.

Voulting the railing on the porch, Seth noticed that the house was abnormally quiet. Usually Grandma Larsen and Grandma Sorenson would be cooking lunch, or maybe Vanessa would be working on something involving her weirdo animals.

Creasing his lips, Seth ventured upstairs to his room in the attack. He figured he might as well chill out. Thrusting the door open, he found Kendra stretched out on her bed with her laptop. Ever since Grandpa finally relented and allowed technology on Fablehaven grounds, she's spent a lot of time up here.

Seth performed a belly flop onto his comforter where his laptop lay charging. "What you doing?"

Kendra didn't look up as she quickly typed something on her laptop. "None of your business, Seth."

Seth made a kiss face at his sister. "Are you messaging Bracken?"

Kendra fought off a blush, but Seth could see her pink cheeks. "No!" Kendra replied defensively, adjusting her laptop so that Seth couldn't see the screen.

Seth laughed, but didn't push his luck any farther. He flipped up the laptop, showing his password screen. His hands flew over the keys as he typed in his password, and then the computer opened up to his Facebook page, right where he left it the night before.

Just barely escaped the ogress...again. Newel and Doren, I am so not helping you with stealing the soup anymore! Seth typed what was on his mind.

Seth, you always know how to brighten my day! Newel posted.

Even if you didn't get any soup... Doren posted a split second after.

Seth grinned wickedly at his computer. Admitting his stupid behavior was a lot more fun when other people commented on it.

What are you doing harassing the ogress Seth? Warren commented.

Uh...sorry? Seth quickly answered vaguely. He wasn't that sorry.

Why didn't you invite me with you? typed Warren in reply.

Seth laughed out loud at his computer screen. He could always count on Warren. From the bed beside him, he could hear Kendra sigh in annoyance. Seth rolled his eyes at her.

*sigh* what is it with boys? Seth frowned at what Vanessa posted. Why did she type boys as if they were a disease?

I know right! They're always getting into trouble or poking at a naiad with a stick. Kendra responded half a second before Seth could protest.

"Kendra!" Seth exclaimed.

Kendra glanced at him from her bed. "What?"

"How dare you agree with the sexist comment that Vanessa said! It is absurd." Seth said, rather over dramatically.

Kendra rolled her eyes. "Geez, Seth." She unplugged the charger from her laptop. "I'm going to the family room."

"It's easier to call it the LIVING ROOM!" Seth called as she closed the door.

Seth turned back to his computer screen. Nothing had come up in 2 minutes so he scrolled up to the URL to refresh the page.

Seth frowned. How dare all the girls "like" Kendra's comment?

We don't poke naiads with sticks! Warren's protest came up. Seth grinned. Warren was his stand-by-guy. He clicked the "Like" button on the comment.

Unless you count that one time with Sylvia... Doren's post popped up on the screen.

Seth face palmed. How were those guys his best friends? Seth widened his eyes at his screen. He really needed to get out more.

Doren! Why did you blow our cover? :O Tanu said. Seth nodded his head, only imagining what the big Samoan's face looked like as he read Newel's comment.

Elise's comment came up next. Therefore Kendra's statement about boys poking things reign truthful. ;)

Seth smirked at Elise's comment. She must be off doing Knights of the Dawn stuff but decided to check Facebook real quick. Sure enough, a second later, Elise had "liked" all of Kendra and Vanessa's comments.

Seth groaned. Just like girls to gang up on a bunch of cool guys. He typed furiously on his laptop, That proves nothing!

Says the boy who turned that poor fairy, Tinsel, into an imp. :P Seth scowled at Kendra's comment. He was even more appalled when virtually everyone "liked" her post.

Seth had to do a double take when he saw Fairy Queen. She had a Facebook in fairyland? That was new.

What did I hear about stealing from an ogress? Grandpa Sorenson asked.

Seth flinched, almost being able to hear his grandfathers scolding voice. Maybe that earlier update wasn't very wise after all.

Newel's comment dinged up a minute later. Busted, Seth.

Seth rolled his eyes. What a so-called friend. There goes blabber mouth Newel. Seth decided to drop out of the conversation. He decided to refresh the page to see what else was going on.

He was surprised to see a post from his mom with a picture. Seth figured she was at the supermarket or something. It was a picture of those shell noodles and the mostecholi kind. Oh great. Was his mom making spaghetti for dinner again? That's the third time in the last two weeks!

Which noodles are better for dinner tonight? I can't decide! Marla posted along with the picture.

Neither. We should have something else for dinner. Seth grinned at his handiwork.

I have to agree with Seth on this one. Kendra posted right after him. Seth smirked triumphantly when the notification saying Kendra Sorenson likes this came up.

I'm good with whatever as long as you pick up some Belgian Chocolate. Scott replied to his wife's update. Seth wrinkled his nose. Belgian Chocolate was some strong tasting candy—even for him.

What happened to the Almond Roca Resolution? Grandma Sorenson wondered. Seth ran a hand through his hair. When did his Grandam Sorenson get Facebook? This was getting a little weird.

yeah. The one we heard so much about? Dale's response came up. Once again, Seth was taken back by Dale having FB. He would've been sure that Dale would be too busy to have one.

I kinda had my fair share on New Year's last year... Scott's answer popped up nearly 4 minutes later. Seth felt his eyes glaze over at that comment. Anything that happens on New Year's Eve followed by a dot, dot, dot was never something you want to uncover. It would be better left as a mystery.

Marla's new comment popped up on Seth's notification. He clicked on the refresh button and rechecked her post. Should i just get a pizza instead?

Seth leaned back against his pillow. Mom was finally learning that pizza solves all problems.

After dinner, Kendra stood in the blue tiled bathroom on the second level, brand new Iphone in hand. She had just gotten it for her 16th birthday. Styling her blonde hair so that it fell over her shoulder and her bangs fell over her hazel eyes, she held up her phone to take a picture. Once she got a result that didn't make her look ugly, she posted it on Facebook.

Selfie! She tagged herself in it.

After a second, Bracken liked it. You look beautiful! :)

Kendra felt her face heat up as she hit the "like" button his comment. She really hoped he was going to come visit her at Fablehaven soon. Kendra refreshed the page and a few others had liked the picture.

Thats what you're doing in the bathroom? I was wondering why you've been in there for so long! Kendra pouted at her brother's comment. Just like Seth to say something completely embaressing.

(Doren da Satyr, Newel da Satyr, and Dale Burgess likes this)

Kendra glared at her phone screen. Seth, are you outside the door?!

...maybe...was Seth's answer.

Grandma Sorenson's comment came up next. Kendra, you look beautiful, sweetie! Seth, leave her alone or you'll be doing the dishes.

Kendra smirked at her Grandma's post. She could hear Seth through the bathroom door, scuttling away from the door.

And the prideful Seth slinks away from the bathroom door ;) Kendra typed out.

LOL Elise posted 2 seconds later. Kendra grinned again, clicking the "like" button on the post.

Sounds just like Seth. I need to plan a trip to visit you guys. Bracken commented again. Kendra restrained herself from jumping around the bathroom excitedly.

Seth replied to that with, I betcha Kendra would like that.

Kendra glared at her phone again. She. Was. Going. To. Kill. Seth. She unlocked the door and chased after Seth, who was racing down the steps. "Get back here Seth!"

Seth dove behind one of the sofas. "Kendra get away from me!"

Kendra shoved her phone into her sweatshirt pocket. Placing both hands on her hips she said, "Last words?"

Seth held up his legs that he could kick her if she tried to attack him, then he quickly typed on his dad's Ipad, Warren!? Tanu?! Anyone? KENDRA IS GOING TO KILL ME!

(Tanugatoa, and Warren Burgess like this)

Seth frowned at that. "Well you guys were alot of help."

Kendra, don't hurt your brother. Dont make me come down stairs! Marla's post popped up at the last second.

Seth flipped the Ipad around for Kendra to see. "Can't hurt me!"

Kendra rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms. "You're lucky." She turned on her heels and stomped up the stairs to the attic bedroom where she flopped on her bed the same way Seth had earlier. Seth trailed in the room a minute later, then layed on his back with the Ipad in hand.

You think Seth will make it out alive? Newel posted three minutes ago. Kendra grinned. She wished she hadn't missed that.

Nah. Up against Kendra, Seth doesn't stand a chance. Verl commented. Kendra buried her face in her hands. She didn't want Verl defending her.

She's a goody-goody. She wouldn't disobey her mom. Doren said right after.

Kendra growled. Okay, so maybe she was a little bit of a goody-goody, but it wasn't okay for other people to say that!

Guys, come on. You shouldn't place bet like that. Bracken defended less than a milisecond later. Kendra smiled at her phone. She really missed Bracken, and it was so sweet of him.

Especially if Seth's safety is at stake. Grandpa Sorenson's post came up.

In response to Bracken's comment, Seth posted. Kendra glanced at her brother. He had a smug face.

"Seth, what are you...?"

Seth grinned wickedly. "Wouldn't you like to know."

Kendra paled. "Don't you da-"

"Boop. Beep." Seth grinned, pressing the post button on the Ipad.

Kendra's phone buzzed with a notification. Timidly, she glanced at her thread.

Seth had finished his post. Kendra is beet red and smiling like an idiot.

Kendra blushed and fumed at the same time, tapping away on her touch screen keyboard. Seth, you are DONE!

OH CRAP! Seth's post came up. A second half came up. I'll be hiding at at the Inverted Tower if anyone needs me!

FEEL THE POWER OF MY FAIRY MAGIC! Kendra posted as a joke.

She leapt onto Seth's bed and started the most cruel fairy torture ever - tickling.
