"Funny really funny" spoke a sarcastic Chris as he took off his shirt that was covered in green demon goo to the now laughing Bianca next to him

"How was I to know that the demon explodes into green mud?" complained Bianca as she took off her shoes now completely covered into green goo

"I don't know does the name glibber demon give you a hint?" continued Chris sarcastically as he took of his pants that were now just as his shirt completely green and dripping with the former demons blood

"Hmm… I don't know suddenly the idea doesn't seem that bad" as she put her arms around the half naked Chris kissing him. Chris orbed out with Bianca in his arms leaving only their dirty clothes behind and orbed in their shower

The Manor, one month later

A sweaty Piper just placed the roast on the table and took of her gloves

"You know Chris moved out two months ago and your cooking no matter how good wont persuade him to come back" said Leo from the door

"I know, I know it was just the initial shock of my second born moving across the continent!" snapped Piper

"Its just Chicago its not as if they moved to… New York" countered Leo "Not to mention that both he and Bianca can orb, shimmer you know that" Piper glared at Leo as the front door opened and closed

"Hey mom, dad" yelled Melinda, Piper and Leos daughter and youngest child

"I'm on it," said Leo "Hi Mel what's wrong?"

"Nothing special I just wanted to ask when Wy and the others will come cause I'm going out later with Jenny and the girls" but before Leo could answer Melinda whispered

"Quick how do you vanquish Grimlocks?"

"They will be here about…" Leo pretended to look at his watch as if he was calculating every second

"Why don't you look in the book?" he whispered back

"Mom caught me two days ago looking up Brute demons and if she catches me again I'll…"

"…Never hear the end of it?" asked Piper from the doorstep as both Melinda and Leo froze

"You know only because I'm 50 years old doesn't mean I'm deaf," snapped Piper on both of them

"How long have you been standing there?" asked Mel tensely

"You're grounded," responded Piper

"That long huh?"

"Don't be funny with me young lady" snapped Piper "How many times do I have to tell you demon hunting is dangerous you could get yourself killed or worse!" Piper had definitely started to yell and as both Leo and Mel knew it was better to cut her off quick before she could get in a real row

"Mom I'm saving innocents…"

"You are to young to be saving anyone or anything besides your math grade that is", retorted Piper

"But Wyatt and Chris do it all the time and…"

"Your brothers are powerful witches and they both have several years of experience in saving innocents and demon hunting, unlike you…"

"Mom I can levitate, heal others, have premonitions and I have telekinetic powers and besides I'm 17 if I'm not going to get some experience in hunting demons now…"

"This is not an open debate", said Piper with a glare that made any other argument useless and silenced her daughter equally fast as in just that same moment Wyat orbed in with a broad grim on his face that vanished in seconds as he saw the expressions on Piper and Melinda, only Leo seemed to have remained looking for a way to calm the situation

"Wyat how's work" he asked cheerfully hoping to distract both his wife and daughter

"Fine dad…" started Wyat having caught his fathers rather obvious bate

"You are not going to hunt does Grimlocks" cut Piper in ignoring them both

"But…"

"I'll vanquish them first thing in the morning and that's my finale say on this matter"

"Fine" said Mel her voice shaking as she stormed up the stairs slamming loudly her bedroom door shut with her TK

"Wyat go wash up, dinner will be in a couple of minutes", said Piper as she too stormed out into the kitchen angrily

"I'll talk to Piper you talk to Mel" said Leo

"Good idea" answered Wyat and orbed in front of Mel's door and knocked, nobody answered he knocked again but this time the door swung open, Mel was lying on her bed various things were floating around through the room via Mel's telekinesis

"You okay?" he asked while he avoided several CD's that almost hit him while he sat on the end of Mel's bed

"Why does she have to be so difficult? Its not is if I run at the demons yelling, "Hey I'm a witch and the daughter of Piper Halliwell please vanquish me!" and I'm a telekinetic I can protect myself…" snapped Mel

"She only wants to protect you know that", said Wyat an waved with his arm orbing all the various objects to the rightful places

"The pencils usually stay next to my PC", said Mel sarcastically as she looked across the room " And besides what's she going to do baby sit me until I'm 30 or something"

"Of course not", said Wyatt softly " You know that she loves you and that she would give an arm for you" continued Wyatt

"Yeah I know", answered Mel exasperated

"You coming down?"

"Yeah I'll be right down" said Mel and watched Wyat orb in a swirl of blue sparks, Mel walked towards her mirror and started to take of her make up. Unnoticed by anyone the astral form of Rex Buckland appeared next to Mel he kneed next to her whispering in her ear, Mel felt a shudder go down her spine as she suddenly stood up and left her room
