Author's note: Having only one in-progress fic seemed unnatural to me….so here it is a much anticipated (at least by me) sequel to my Bewitched story. If you haven't read it you might want to consider it otherwise you might be a bit confused. For those of you who were fans of the first story, I welcome any suggestions just send them in a PM. As always, reviews are much appreciated.
I must give credit to CoolDiva for coming up with the title. Thanks a lot Diva!!
Disclaimer: This is a Power Rangers/Charmed crossover. I don't own any of the characters from either show. However, I do own the character Nikki and all other OCs. (There are a lot!)
Nikki Oliver walked frantically around the kitchen as she hurriedly tried to make breakfast for her family and as usual they were running late.
"Halliwell, you better not be still in bed!" she yelled as she began placing plates on the kitchen table.
"I don't have anything to wear!" her fifteen year old daughter yelled back.
"Well you better find something or else I'll pick it out for you," Nikki replied back just as her husband entered the room.
"Another exciting morning at the Oliver house," he said with a laugh as he sat down at the table and Nikki poured him a cup of coffee.
"You know just once, I'd like to be on time for work, I'm surprised my boss hasn't fired me yet," Nikki said.
"He wouldn't dare, you're the best social worker he's got, I mean you practically run that place for him, he wouldn't know what to do without you," Tommy told her.
"Mommy, I can't find my shoes," yelled their seven year old.
"Looks like my family wouldn't know what to do without me either," Nikki said as she left Tommy alone in the kitchen and raced upstairs.
"I looked all over my room and I can't find my shoes anywhere," her daughter said as Nikki entered her bedroom.
"Oh Hannah, we don't have time to search so just orb them," Nikki said.
"But Daddy doesn't like it when we do that," Hannah replied.
"Well Daddy, isn't the one who's going to be late if I don't get you to school on time, so just this once I think it'd be ok for you to orb your shoes in here," Nikki told her.
"Hey, how come she gets to orb her things, when I lost my homework you made me look for it for over an hour," Nikki's eleven year old daughter said as she entered the room.
"Hermione, don't start with me now, we don't have time to argue about it just get downstairs and eat your breakfast," Nikki told her.
"Ok, but I still don't think it's fair," Hermione said and then proceeded to orb out of the room.
"Hermione Priscilla Oliver, that's not what I meant!" Nikki yelled.
"Hermione, what have I told you about orbing in the house," Tommy said when his daughter appeared.
"No orbing unless it's to escape a demon, but I only did it because Mom let Hannah orb her shoes," Hermione said as she sat down.
"It's not nice to tattle on your mother," Nikki said as she came downstairs with Hannah.
"Nikki, I thought we talked about this and decided the only way for our girls to lead some semblance of a normal life they can't be allowed to just orb things whenever they want," Tommy said.
"I'm sorry honey, but we're running really late and as it is we only have ten minutes to eat," Nikki told him.
"Why don't I drop the girls off at school today and that way you can be on time for once," Tommy suggested.
"As wonderful as that would be, your job is on the other side of town in the opposite direction and seeing as how you get paid a lot more than I do, I'd prefer for you to keep your job," Nikki replied.
"Ok, well I guess I'll see you all at dinner," he said as he got up from the table and kissed them all goodbye.
"Seriously Halli, downstairs now!" Nikki yelled again.
"Alright, alright, I'm ready," Halli said as she too orbed into the kitchen.
"We're not supposed to orb," Hannah told her.
"Says the girl who orbed her shoes," Hermione taunted.
"Mommy said I could," Hannah replied.
"I can orb whenever I like because unlike you two babies I can control my powers," Halli told them.
"That's not true is it Mommy?" Hannah questioned.
"I'll bet she wouldn't say that if Dad were here," Hermione retorted.
"I'm going to start classes at Magic school soon, so Dad will have no choice but to let me practice my orbing," Halli said.
"Ok, that's enough, breakfast is officially over, everyone out to the car," said Nikki.
"Everyone's all tucked in," Tommy announced later that night as he entered the kitchen where Nikki was washing the dishes from dinner.
"Peace and quiet once again, why on earth did we have three kids," said Nikki.
"That would be your fault seeing as how everyone in your family is destined to have three kids, it's the Charmed legacy after all," Tommy replied with a laugh.
"I'm sorry I let Hannah orb this morning, I know how important it is to you that they don't rely so much on their powers," Nikki said.
"It's ok, I know I can be kind of hard on them about using their powers I just don't want to see them abuse their gifts," Tommy told her.
"Do you ever wish they had been born normal, without any powers?" Nikki asked.
"Sometimes but Nikki you have to know that I love our daughters the way they are, they were given those powers for a reason and I understand that," Tommy answered.
"I knew I was smart for marrying you," Nikki said as she walked over and kissed him.
"You know I think these dishes can wait, what do you say you orb us to our bedroom," he said as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.
"What about that no orbing rule?" she questioned.
"I think we could break it just this once," Tommy said as he kissed her.
"And you wonder where the kids get it from," Nikki said with a laugh as she orbed them.
Hours later, the house was quiet as all members of the Oliver household were sleeping peacefully until there was a loud crash. Nikki and Tommy woke up and heard a scream coming from Hannah's bedroom.
"Mommy, Daddy!" Hannah screamed.
Nikki wasted no time in orbing herself to her daughter's bedroom as Tommy ran out of their bedroom after her.
"Dad, what's happening?" Hermione asked as she too ran out into the hallway from her bedroom.
"Just get to Halli's room and stay there until your mother or I come for you," Tommy ordered.
Nikki orbed into Hannah's bedroom and found the little girl crouching in a corner as a demon stood over her.
"Get away from her!" Nikki screamed.
"She's not the one I wanted anyway," the demon said as he shimmered out of the room.
"It's ok Hannah, you're safe now," Tommy said as he cradled his daughter in his arms.
"What did he mean by she's not the one he wanted," Nikki wondered and then suddenly orbed away.
Nikki orbed into Halli's room and found that the room appeared empty but the demon was throwing fireballs in every direction hoping that his target was still in the room somewhere.
"Fireball!" Nikki yelled causing one of the fireballs to come to her and she sent it flying back towards the demon who was then vanquished.
"Good work Mom," said Halli who after the demon was gone made herself and Hermione visible again.
"Are you girls ok?" Nikki asked.
"Yeah, thanks to Halli's power of invisibility the demon never saw us," Hermione answered.
"Don't they ever get tired of coming after me," said Halli.
"You are the first grand daughter of a Charmed One, I'm sure this was just some lower level demon trying to work his way up the ranks, why don't you guys sleep in our room tonight," Nikki told them.
"Mom, I'm a big girl, I don't need to sleep with you and Dad every time a demon attacks," Halli replied.
"I realize that Halli but I would still feel better if we were all in the same room," Nikki told her.
"Fine but just for tonight," said Halli.
"Nikki, we can't go on like this, this is the sixth time this month a demon has attacked in the middle of the night," Tommy said the next morning.
"Tommy, we've survived a lot of demon attacks over the years, it's just a part of our lives and you're going to have to accept that," Nikki told him.
"I thought I could but Hannah can barely sleep through the night these days, she's only a little girl she shouldn't be worried about demons trying to kidnap or even kill her in the middle of the night," Tommy replied.
"You're right, she should be able to just be a normal little girl but we both know that isn't possible," Nikki told him.
"It is possible if we choose to make it that way," Tommy replied.
"What are we talking about here, binding their powers, weren't you the one who said they were given those powers for a reason?" Nikki asked.
"I would never ask you to bind their powers and I still believe they have them for a reason but why now, why do they have to put up with the constant demon attacks now, why can't they be allowed to grow up like normal little girls before assuming their demon fighting responsibility, you did so why shouldn't they," Tommy told her.
"Ok, so what do you propose we do to give our daughters a more normal life?" she questioned.
"It's simple really, we leave San Francisco and move to Angel Grove," he answered.
"You want to leave, but this is our home," she said.
"I know that, but we've lived here for the past 15 years fighting demons and I just think it's time we took a break from all that and besides the girls have barely gotten to know my parents and I would really like for them to see Angel Grove as their home too," Tommy replied.
"You make some good points, can I at least have some time to think about this, I mean this is a pretty big thing you're asking of me, to give up the only way of life I've known and leave my family," Nikki told him.
"I know how hard it would be for you to leave your family but Nikki this is our family we're talking about and I really think this would be the best thing for us," he said.
