Prologue

"Wyatt!" Yelled Piper, franticly blowing up demons who were seemingly coming from nowhere as her oldest son orbed in, "Go round up your little brothers and sisters and put a force field around them! Now!

"Paige! Paige! PAIGE! Leo! Go get Phoebe and Paige!"

A few minutes later, with Piper still barking out orders, Paige orbed in, closely followed by Leo and Phoebe, "Anybody got any ideas?" She asked, dodging an Energy ball.

"How about crystals?" asked her second son casually as he walked down the stairs, "Circle!"

With the demons trapped, Piper turned around and yelled "Chris! You know I don't like it when you orb into a battle scene! Why aren't you with Wyatt and your other little siblings?"

"I was, he sent me down to help," he stated simply, "You should probably do something about them before more come." He looked pointedly towards the trapped demons, then orbed casually back up to his room.

"Let's go look these guys up in the book," said Paige, grimacing at the prospect of having to spend yet another night away from her family fighting demons.

"I'll be right up; I just have to go tell Wyatt to free my children." Said Piper exhaustedly, muttering 'I'm getting too old for this!' under her breath.

"OH MY GOD!" exclaimed Lana as she appeared in the twins' bedroom, "you'll never guess what I felt today!"

"Let me guess, somebody likes somebody, who likes somebody, but they like somebody! (Gasp)" exclaimed Patty, but at the hurt expression on her cousin's face, she said, "I was only joking, you know we love you!"

"Well, you know how I told you that Emily has liked Brian for like, two years? Well today, I accidentally felt Brian liking Emily!"

"Oooo, really?" asked Penny, always wanting to know the latest gossip, and having a cousin as an empath didn't hurt, "maybe you should go have a little chat with tú padre and set them up!" she exclaimed, using her favorite vocabulary, when she mixed Spanish and English to make her own language, even though everyone knew what she was saying.

"Oh my god, great idea Penny!" Lana exclaimed excitedly, "orb over in, like, ten minutes and I'll tell you what he said."

"Daddy? Can I have a little favor?" Lana asked in her most innocent baby-of-the-family voice.

"What?" Her father replied half annoyed, half amused.

"Well… you know my friend Emily? Well she likes this guy and today I accidentally felt him liking her too, so I was wondering if you could…"

"I've been meaning to talk to you about them, Lana, I--"

"Daddy I was just wondering if you could, like, maybe, I don't know, set them up or something?" Lana practically begged.

"I already did." He replied simply.

"Come on Dad! Please!"

"I already did."

"Daddy!"

"I ALREADY DID!"

"Daddy! Don't yell at me! What did I do? Oh, wait, what did you say? You already did, omigod! Thank you so, so, so, so much! I love you Daddy!" She said enthusiastically kissing him on the forehead.

"I'm not sure if you have a choice in loving me, I am a Cupid, after all." But his little girl was already in her room awaiting the arrival of her cousins to tell them the great news.

"Paige? Phoebe? Did you find them yet?" asked Piper as she entered the attic to find her sisters pouring over an ancient book with strange drawings on every page.

"Yeah, they're lower level demons working for higher level demons that need a distraction for their enemies. Known as Nylthor Demons, they reappear with a different appearance every time they are vanquished. That's why there seemed to be an endless amount of them, it's because we kept on killing them!" Exclaimed Phoebe, shocked by the irony of the situation.

"Great!" Yelled Paige "Now what are we supposed to do?"

"Astral Plane I guess," answered Piper simply, "If you can't kill 'um, I guess you've got to banish 'um."

"Great, got any spells to banish demons just, you know, in your pocket or something?" asked Paige sarcastically.

"I think I have a spell, come on, and just repeat after me when we get down there." Phoebe said on her way down, stopping when she saw the demons trapped in the crystals. "You know, Piper, I know you don't like your kids fighting, but they're pretty good at it, you should give Chris a chance. It would have taken us a lot longer to think to trap them, but he just orbed in, did it, and orbed out, simple as that."

"Thanks, Dear Phoebe, but next time, try to let me get my letter in the mail, or maybe even out of my mouth before you respond to it." Said Piper sarcastically.

"Sorry! Ready:

To those who wish to cause great pain,

To those who wish to cause great pain,

We banish you to the Astral Plane!

We banish you to the Astral Plane!"

"What was that?" asked Piper, laughing.

"Well, it worked, didn't it?" Phoebe countered, "Paige, will you bring me home? I have to go make dinner."

"Oh! Wait! Mel's surprise party is Saturday, don't forget!" Piper whispered right before her sisters disappeared in white lights.
