A/N.

What brought me to write this? I'm afraid I have no idea...But yeah. I think it may be based on some dream I had a while ago. It was pretty messed up and I thought that I should convert it to a fanfic. Yay. It's sort of set quite a way into the future...maybe a couple of years. So they live in some sort of apartment somewhere. Don't ask why, it's based on a dream, kay? I know it may move a little quick, but thats kind of the idea.

Chapter 1

She couldn't adjust to the apartment, although they had been living in it for maybe a week or so, it was weird. Money was tight so Chloe went out and found a part-time job in a shop nearby, even Tori went as far as trying to find a job, Chloe found it odd, but why complain? At least she was doing something useful. Simon and Derek both stayed at home, she didn't know why though. Not like it mattered that they weren't doing anything, of course. Obviously speaking sarcastically there.

So, here she was, sitting on the sofa, watching Simon practice his magic. She had no idea what he was saying because pretty much all of his incantations were in some other language. He told her one, but she couldn't really remember too well because that was ages ago. Plus, she had a long day because of picky customers getting her to find what they wanted. Ungrateful, that's what they were.

She dozed off for a while before waking back up, Simon was still in the exact same postion practicing. God, he was dedicated. How long had she had a nap? Half an hour? That had to be right. Derek walked into the room, he had actually been shut up inside all day and it looked like all he had done was slept. He was followed by Tori who had gone shopping for food and stuff like that. Simon said something that sound a little off.

Then there was a flash. A huge supernova of different colours. Chloe covered her eyes and hid her head in a nearby pillow. It must have been Simon's spell. What the hell had he managed to do?

She had fell asleep, she couldn't remember falling asleep. The first thing she saw was a bewildered Simon. Had he done something bad? She sat up groggily and saw what he was looking at. There were two toddlers sitting on their floor. They were there instead of Derek and Tori. Or maybe they were Derek and Tori. They were both wearing huge clothes and were waving their arms around like crazed pigeons.

"Simon?" Chloe asked, "W-what just happened?"

"I...I think I did something wrong...Derek and Tori were just there," He answered in disbelief.

"You were focussing weren't you?"

"Of course I was, I was practicing, I didn't want to get anything wrong!" Too bad. That's what he just did.

The two toddlers on the floor began to cry. Chloe tried to shush them by picking them both up and hugging them. It was awkward, she'd never looked after a baby before and she had no idea how she was going to fix this. Or well, she had no idea how Simon was going to fix it. The one she asumed was Derek tugged at her hair playfully and Chloe tried not to yell or they would both cry again, but Derek had one heck of a grip.

Tori seemed to be the one behaving, or at least for now. Chloe had put them on the floor to play as she had to go find some clothes for them in some shop somewhere. She caught the bus and left. Leaving Simon with the kids. Was she confident about that? No she wasn't. She didn't know why though.
