Hi! I got this great new idea for a story that I just had to share. Now I
warn all now I'm having computer problems and time management issues. So
updates will be extremely slow. Also for any one whom reading this I am
working on new chapters of my stories, "Troubled Jewelry" and "another
reason to be different among the different". Hope to have those out
relatively soon. This is a Charmed/ Rainbow Brite crossover fic. Should be
around season five when piper was still pregnant with Wyatt. Hope everyone
enjoys!
A Colorful Adventure!
Chapter 1:
Paige absent-mindedly starred out the wind at the rainy world that existed beyond the walls of Halliwell manor.
A new song spilled from the speakers of the radio that had been playing in the background.
"O it never rains in San Francisco..." echoed the opening lyrics in the song that now filled the house.
Paige hopped up from her spot by one of the many windows in the conservatory, and rushed over to the radio and quickly turned it off in disgust.
"Obviously she hasn't been here recently." Thought Paige as she returned to her seat by the window.
It had been raining for the last three weeks straight. And it seemed to just get darker and gloomier every day with no sign of letting up in sight.
"Wow! I never seen it rain for this long before." Thought Paige. Just then she heard the front door open and close.
She looked up in time to see her sister Phoebe enter the kitchen with laptop in one hand and tissue in the other.
"Hey what are you doing home so early? I thought you were working late tonight, so you could make you deadline?" asked Paige as she walked into the kitchen.
"I was planing on it but..." Phoebe was cut off by her own sneeze. "But after Else saw me she took pity on me, and told me to work from home." Finished Phoebe.
"Can I do any thing for you?" asked Paige in a concerned tone of voice.
"A cup of tea would be nice." Said Phoebe as she started to set her laptop up on the table.
"Coming right up." Said Paige as she smiled at her sister.
As Paige went about preparing the tea she thought about miserable Phoebe had been the past week since she caught that nasty cold.
In fact everyone seemed just sought of generally miserable since the lousy weather started.
And like the weather didn't show any sign of improvement.
Luckily things had suddenly slowed down on the supernatural front.
In fact the Paige thought about it the more it seemed too sudden.
As she brought Phoebe's tea over to the table she felt compelled to say something.
She sat the mug on the table next to her sister who was steadily typing away on her laptop and sat down across from her.
"Phoebe." Said Paige to get her sister's attention.
"What is it Paige?" she asked without looking up from her screen.
"Well..." she said in a kind of drawn out matter that made her sister look up from her screen. She half dreaded and half excepted what subject her sister might be about to bring up.
"Don't jinx it Paige."
"I don't want to but I'm starting to worry that that sudden slow down was maybe a little too sudden.
I mean for 2 weeks it seemed that every time we turned around there was low level demons popping up right and left, and now nothing. Doesn't seem a little odd that we went from one extreme to another?"
"Doesn't what seem odd?" asked Piper as she half walked half waddled into the room.
She was wearing a purple maternity shirt and black maternity jeans.
It was easy to see that she was at least six months pregnant.
Phoebe sighed deeply and then turned from her laptop to her eldest sister, who was currently opening the fridge, and said, "Paige was questioning the sudden out break of peace and quite."
"PAIGE!" Shouted Piper as she turned away from the fridge. "Why can't you leave well enough a lone? Why can't you just enjoy this break?"
"Because I don't think it is just a break.
Something just doesn't feel right about it.
I mean if you think back over the last three weeks, the way things have been just falling into place it doesn't add up right!
Something is definitely off here.
I can't describe what but I'm telling you I can just feel it."
"Awe, honey are you sure that just the lousy weather talking?" asked Phoebe in a sweet and concerned tone of voice.
"No, its not just the weather!" shouted Paige.
"It's exactly like the time when I told you about that house that gave me the creeps, and I was right about that one!"
"She does have a point piper." Said Phoebe sounding very perplexed at the moment.
Piper looked at both of her sisters and then closed the fridge and joined them at the table.
As she sat down sat down between her sisters she looked straight at Paige and said, "Yeah, you were right about that.
And so as much as I don't want to go looking for trouble, I'm going to be open minded and listen to you explain how this all fits together into a need for the power of three." She had a somewhat calm look on her face and understanding tone to her voice.
"Ok. Well I been thinking about all the pieces and it all fits and it all seems to tie into that day three weeks ago."
"What about it?" Asked Phoebe
"Well that was the day we vanquished that first demon, and shortly after that is when the weather turned.
Then suddenly we were bombarded by lower class demons day and night for 2 weeks, as if someone was trying to distract us from something.
And then 2 weeks to the day it stopped! Not that I'm complaining but it seemed too sudden.
Then also as the weather slowly got worse out, Phoebe got more and more run down till she finally caught a cold.
And you Piper have been get moodier as the days pass.
And before you say it Piper it goes so far beyond just hormones and pregnancy stuff.
Also if you've noticed that the weather has been getting steadily worse here.
I mean it is not normal or natural for the weather to be this bad for this long, especially for this time of year!" finished Paige.
"Your right Paige. I hadn't really thought about it till now, I been so busy, but it does make sense that something fishy might be up." Said Phoebe.
Paige smiled, she was glad to see that she seemed to have at least one sister on her side on this.
They both looked over at piper as she frowned under their gaze.
"I still don't know..." said piper un-surely.
"Well let's check the book anyway and if we don't find anything then we can call Leo." Said Paige.
"O.K. "said piper half-heartily knowing that she was out voted 2 to one.
****************** In the attic ******************
About 2 hours had gone by and they hadn't fond much of anything in the book.
There were a few passages on some of the demons that they had vanquished in the past couple of weeks.
"I'm not really finding anything Paige." Said phoebe in a frustrated and congested tone.
"Well keep looking there got to be something in there that can be of help." Said Paige.
"Well what would help is if I knew what we were looking for to begin with." Said Phoebe.
"Well let me look for a while" said Paige as she left what she was doing to go over to the book.
On her way she stumbled over one of the antiques that lay strewn around the attic and in her attempt to stay on her feet she knocked over a box to her near right.
Unfortunately her attempt was in vain and she hit the floor shortly after the box did.
"Paige are you ok?" asked Piper as she and phoebe quickly came over to her help her up.
As Paige pushed herself up into a sitting position she caught a glimpse of some of the things that had tumbled out of the box, which was now lying on its side.
"Hey what was in this box?" asked Paige as she reached out and pulled the box towards her.
"I think there are some old toys in there." Said Piper.
As both she and phoebe knelt down next to her to look inside the box.
"I don't remember this box being here Piper. I thought we went through all our all toys a few years back." Commented Phoebe.
"We must have missed this box." Said Piper a little confused.
As Phoebe picked up the few toys that fell out of the box, she handed them over to piper and asked, "Do you remember any of these?"
"Not really." Answered Piper.
As the sisters took the time to go through the box they found a lot of old toys and storybooks.
As they were about 3 quarters through the box they heard Paige exclaim, " Hey I remember this!"
As she pulled out a faded doll in a blue dress with rainbow sleeves and a red belt that had a rainbow coming out of a yellow star for a buckle.
She had yellow yarn hair with a multi colored hair tie, and on her left check was a little purple star.
"This was Rainbow Brite!" Said Paige.
"O, yeah! I remember that cartoon being really popular in the 80's," said Piper.
Phoebe smiled "yeah, I was really into it for a while." Said Phoebe.
As the sisters marveled at all the Rainbow Brite stuff that filled the rest of the box for what seemed like hours.
In reality only about 25 minutes had gone by but the sisters were so engorged with looking over the stuff and talking about what they each remembered about the cartoon they didn't even notice Leo orb into the room.
"Hey, what you three up to?" he asked.
All three sisters jumped in surprise at the sudden appearance of Leo's voice.
"When did you get here?" Piper asked her husband from her sitting position on the floor.
"Just now." He replied as he walked over and kissed his wife on the forehead as he sat down to join them.
Paige and Phoebe looked over at him about to say their hellos when they stopped.
Both girls noticed that he was wearing a very vividly colored blue and green flannel shirt and blue jeans.
"I didn't know they made flannel shirts that loud!" commented an admonished Paige.
"Yeah, I thought flannel was a more subdued material." Added Phoebe.
Leo looked down at his clothes and saw nothing wrong.
"These are the same clothes I had on early this morning." Said Leo confused.
"I don't remember them being that bright this morning?" added piper.
Leo started to look concerned. Why exactly are all of you up hear anyway?" he asked.
As the sisters proceeded to fill him in on why they had gone up into the attic to start with.
Beginning with the conversation in which Page voice her concerns and ended with him entering the room.
"Well I definitely think that Paige might be on to something.
I'll go check with the elders.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Till then try to work on this a little more."
After he said that he kissed his wife good-bye and orbed out.
