Chapter One: Let's Begin!
It was a beautiful, hot sunny Saturday afternoon at San Francisco, marking one of many upcoming summer days. The rich blue cloudless sky and the scorching heat had everyone in the Bay area to retreat to their favourite places to enjoy the beautiful day, Families, couples, kids, dog walkers, new mommies and elderly relaxed better part of the day in golden gate park to cool off and to have fun, while others threw BBQ's with their friends and neighbours.
Chris Halliwell on the other hand, wiped his sweaty forehead with his left t-shirt sleeve before looking up at the guy that stood in the ladder – fixing the P3 air conditioner.
"You reckon do you be done by today? I've got a Club to run." Piper Halliwell shouted as the sweaty fat man (Tony) in overalls looked at her and shrugged. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Lady, I'm working, you want this done by four, give me some space." The man snapped before turning his attention back to his work leaving Piper to gape like a gold fish.
"Yeah, well you better be done by four." Piper snapped back before marching away to the bar. Chris merely shook his head as he followed his mother to the bar, waving P3 itinerary clipboard in front of his face to generate some air to cool himself off. Chris grabbed a stool in front of the bar as Piper placed two ice cubes filled glasses on the counter, before filling them with ice cold water from the faucet. "If he doesn't fix this by four, I'm not paying him." Piper said grabbing one of the glasses as Chris grabbed the other one.
"Cheers mom!" Chris said pressing the freezing glass against his skin, as a content sigh escaped his lips, before the Witchlighter gulped down a generous amount of water to soothe his body. "What is it with this weather?" Chris asked through mouthful of two ice cubes only to realise his mother wasn't paying any attention to him.
"If only your father had time, he would've fixed this by now." Piper said to Chris completely ignoring her son's question as she placed her glass back down on the counter, with a glare towards the fat man's direction.
"Well what is he doing? It's Saturday." Chris asked, his right eyebrow arching up. "I mean isn't Magic school usually closed on Saturdays?"
"Yes, they are…" Piper replied back in an irritated voice as she scratched her head lightly. "But you know your father, he has to help everyone he can possibly think off, so he's down at the orphanage helping out with your sister and Aunt Paige."
"Oh…I've forgot about that." Chris said crushing the ice between his teeth before slurping more cold water down his gullet. "Well if you need any…." Only Chris trailed off when he heard panicked voice.
"Emergency! Emergency! " A familiar voice shouted as Piper and Chris turned around to find - Phoebe and Billie rushing down the stairs, carrying an unconscious man – well more like dragging him down the stairs.
"What happened?" Chris asked getting out of the stool to approach his aunt as Piper joined them.
"Freeze him!" Billie warned Piper and Chris, with a glance in Tony's direction.
"W-what? Why?" Piper asked as she raised her hands and froze the confused fatso AC repairman, before glancing down at the unconscious bloody man, however before Piper can question what was going on, the air before them rippled as three demons shimmered in – each holding a deadly energy ball in their hands and looking really pissed off.
"That's why!" Billie said giving a sheepish look as Piper rolled her eyes.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Piper punctuated her words as Chris made a sweeping motion in the air, sending the three demons spiralling back as each crashed into various place in the club, causing the eldest witch to wince at the sight of broken chairs and table. "Alright, enough before you do anymore damage." Piper said flicking her wrist towards the demons freezing all three of them before they can respond with their energy balls that could cost her further currency in repair.
"What's going on?" Piper asked as Billie rolled her eyes.
"Vanquish now, talk later." Phoebe said jumping up and down as if they might unfreeze and attack them any minute. Piper only rolled her eyes in response, before giving a lazy flick towards the demons combusting all three demons simultaneously in their locations.
"Now can someone tell me what is going on here?" Piper drawled in her annoyed voice.
"See told you this would work." Phoebe said smugly to Billie, who shook her head as she dropped the unconscious guy on the ground.
"Are they gone?" The man asked causing Chris to jump back a bit, seeing he was almost unconscious a second ago.
"Yeah, it worked." Billie said as the man got up from the floor from the ground, dusting himself despite he looked bloody murder.
"Nice one! Thanks." The Man said to Piper causing the eldest witch to raise an eyebrow at the man before glancing towards her sister and Billie.
"What is going on? Phoebe?" Piper called out as Phoebe and Billie smiled.
"Gotta go now! Ciao." Phoebe said waving as the three disappeared into thin air.
"What the hell was that?" Piper asked looking little alarmed before glancing at her son, who shrugged. "Right that's it." Piper muttered as she marched away to the bar, in order to grab her cell phone from her purse – which sat on the counter – to dial her sister' number.
"Err…Mom, what about him?" Chris asked glancing towards the frozen repairman. Piper without a word waved her arm, unfreezing the guy who looked startled and surprised at the disappearance of the three incomers.
"W-w-where did they go?" Tony the repairman asked Chris, who looked at him shaking his head.
"Where did who go?" Chris asked putting a perfect expression of confusion on his face, causing the repairman to scratch his hair under his hat, little confused whether he had really seen them or not. Chris only smiled as he turned away from the man.

Meanwhile across the Golden Gate bridge of San Francisco, in Greenbrae of the Marin County.
"Grandma!" Wyatt protested with an eye roll as he entered the kitchen to watch his grandmother pile a plate with food. "I thought I've told you to relax. The whole point of me being here is to take care of you for a while."
"I know sweetie, but it's been a long time since I've cooked for you. Young strong man like you needs to eat on time" Laura said to her grandchild with a smile. "And I know you've been working very hard fixing this old place up and I wanted to say thank you."
"Aw Grandma, you are sweet." Wyatt said hugging the petite woman before him, remembering how strong and big she seemed when he was young and now, she seemed so fragile, like a glass he feared that he could break even in his hug. Wyatt backed away from her to take in his smiling grandmother – She cannot even walk without her walking frame and yet she insists on helping Wyatt out by fixing him foods and snacks while he worked around the house.
"Thanks Nana, But I want you to listen to me okay. I'm here to take care of you alright, that means fixing the house to fixing you meals and let me finish." Wyatt said holding his hand up to stop his grandmother's protest. "That doesn't mean you're not capable of looking after yourself, you are…but while I'm here, I want you to relax, watch TV, flirt with Abner and…Hell, go play bingo with your friends. Understand. Just stop worrying too much about everything else; I'll take care of it."
"I know you will sweetheart." Laura said with a smile. "But whose gonna take care of you?"
"I will grandma," Wyatt replied back with a smile. "I'm not a kid anymore; I can take care of myself." The blonde replied back as he guided his grandmother back to the living room to help her sit down in her favourite couch.
The thought of losing his grandmother had always been the biggest fear for Wyatt Thornson and now at this fragile state of his grandmother, Wyatt feared his worst fear is riding around in a horse in the backyard. After all Wyatt has no one else but his grandmother for a family. She had looked after him practically his whole life – mainly because Wyatt lost his mother during his birth – so he had never known her, it had always been Laura but it was when he was six, his whole life changed. His dad died in a flight crash – he was returning from a business trip – leaving Wyatt on his own. Laura took him in and looked after him. He never knew anyone else but as if God had always hated young Wyatt – Laura was soon diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and Laura was in stage 3 by the time Wyatt was eighteen.
Unable to look after her properly on his own nor the proper income to support her or to have her looked after by the professionals, Wyatt resorted to one job that would pay him the most than any other job that's out there – Porn! After all, he had to have finished his college degree to get a decent job, even then he would have to work a month or two before he can expect a pay check but with porn, you do a shoot, you get paid there and then. It was the best opportunity for a kid who had nothing else to loose or no one else to go to…Although Wyatt only did it as a one of solution, the continuous treatment and the medication for his grandmother – he knew with a normal job he couldn't afford it. So he continued in that industry, although there were some hard days when he would think of his parents and what they would think of him right then for what he was doing….he still had to think of the one person who is still there.
To Wyatt, his grandma is the most important thing to him and he isn't ready to lose her. Despite that, Laura still doesn't know what he's doing…well to her, Wyatt is working as an assistant to a movie director. Wyatt knows if Laura was to find out about his job, she might have an heart attack or even be disappointed in him or worse hate herself for letting Wyatt go this way….that is something Wyatt isn't willing to put on his grandmother's head. He wanted to make sure his grandmother is well looked after in her nursing home but after hearing the news about her first stroke, Wyatt knew he had to be by his grandmother's side. That's why he took a break from his work and came back to San Francisco, moving his grandmother back home with him with a stay at home nurse. This way he could take care of his grandmother as well without the worry of losing her.
"I've been telling her but she doesn't listen to me." Mary said as she walked in with Laura's medicine. "She doesn't listen to anyone." Mary said sitting down next to Laura. "Now here you honey, take those pills if you still wanna make those frequent visit to that kitchen of yours."
"Oh do I have to? I feel fine." Laura protested as Mary shook her head.
"Until you start shaking like a leaf, now come on take them and I ain't takin no for answer." Mary said placing the tablets firmly on Laura's hand, causing Wyatt to chuckle at the sight of his grandmother grumbling.
Wyatt glanced at Mary, who gave a small wink at him, causing him to chuckle even more. Mary has always reminded Wyatt of 'Regina King' for some reason. Warm, bubbly and friendly person that Wyatt can sit and chat with for hours and hours – she is great with everyone and Wyatt has known her for years – from the first time his grandmother had to go into the care home, which was like five years ago – because of that Wyatt insisted at the care home that he wanted Mary to nurse his grandmother as the stay at home Nurse. Plus he pays her very good fees compared to what she gets in the nursing home – so Mary loves it, after all she only has to care for one person and she's pretty much in charge of the household.
"So honey, it's your first day at your new job, looking forward to it?" Mary asked as Wyatt nodded with a smile, as he rubbed his hands together.
"Yup, I've never worked in a bar before, so it should be interesting." Wyatt said as Mary nodded with a smirk. After all it was Mary who introduced Wyatt to Piper Halliwell, the owner of P3 when Wyatt wanted a job that he can fill in-between his break from his other job.
"Make sure you do a good job. I don't wanna hear you've been slacking there, you hear me?" Mary asked as Wyatt rolled his eyes. "Piper is a good friend of mine and she purely got you in for me without even wanting to see your resume, so make sure you do a good job."
"Of course." Wyatt said with a chuckle as Mary nodded.
"Now you should go and eat, while I take our queen here for her nap." Mary said glancing towards Laura, whose struggling to stay awake as her pills took their effect on her fragile being.
"I'm not sleeping." Laura snapped as her head lolled forward for a second in her drowsiness.
"Sure you ain't." Mary replied back with a smile as she helped the elder woman up from her couch, while Wyatt disappeared into the kitchen with a shake of his head.

Chris typed away in his computer as he entered the current month's inventory of P3 into the system – only to stop in mid typing to take a quick glance towards the office, where his mother had gone to talk to his aunt Phoebe about the situation of sudden appearance and disappearance – Something told Chris that it wasn't actually them, seeing how perky both Aunt Phoebe and Billie were acting – as it clashes with their real personality, so it's likely to be demons or some wannabe witches, but he still hasn't decided which yet because he has more important issues to deal with – such as finishing the inventory by four, the AC is fixed by all means –Including using magic if necessary – along with putting together the work schedule for the new bartender Wyatt – who is starting today and should be arriving around eight to help open up and sort the place out with Lance.
Chris was busy working away; he didn't notice his mother return from the office or the worry that was etched in her face. He didn't even notice her presence until he heard her voice.
"Is it fixed?" Piper asked when she noticed Tony stepping down from the ladder.
"Yup! Now if you pay me, I'll be out of your hair." The guy said putting all his tools back into his box.
"Great, let's see if it works." Piper said going behind the bar to press a button under the counter to turn on the AC. In response, they all heard the motor whizz into life - only it was followed by a metallic clatter & grinding.
"What the hell…" Chris said in confusion as Piper looked little taken back. However what happened next was something neither Chris nor Piper saw coming. Followed by the metallic clatter and grinding, a small screech echoed from the AC and the next thing they heard and saw was a small explosion from inside the AC that sparked fire and smoke, right before the whole thing collapsed to the ground – if that was bad, the music and the stage lights went down with a loud buzz – indication of the electricity down.
For a second Piper didn't know what to do, her mind was blank – Piper opened his mouth wide in shock, not a sound coming out in her panic - not only the AC cover was on fire but her electricity is also down and her band is coming in two hours for sound check up. As if she doesn't have enough things to worry about, the never ending list of fixing things keeps on adding to her stress.
"I've got it!" Chris said running to get the fire extinguisher to put the fire out, while Piper turned her attention to the fat guy with the deadliest glare she had ever given anyone in her life. If her powers could work through her eyes, she probably would've combusted him by now.
"YOU!" Piper hissed as the man looked alarmed. Even Chris was stunned by the glare, the only thought that ran in his head was – she is going to murder him.
"Don't worry I'll fix it." The guy said backing away slowly as Piper made her way around the bar, her eyes still fixed with deadly glare. "No extra cost!" he said with a small nervous chuckle as he readjusted his hat on his sweaty head.
"Mom…" Chris called out in a warning tone in fear that she is going to blow the guy up, but Piper ignored it as she approached the nervous sweaty guy before her.
"You better pray that you fix this by four!" Piper hissed jabbing the guy on his chest. "Or I swear to god I won't be held responsible for my actions. You hear me?" As response the guy nodded with a gulp. Letting out a low growl and a final look at the half melted AC, she stormed out towards the office to cool off.
"Your mom, very nice lady. No?" The man said to Chris with another nervous chuckle as Chris rolled his eyes.
