Charmed/Fearless Crossover. Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Charmed (owned by Connie M Burge) or Fearless (owned by Francine Pascal), unfortunately. The characters I do own are the ones that haven't appeared in either of the official storylines. A/N- I have not miss spelt 'magick'- it is the correct term used to separate real magick from illusionary magic. This is set in season four of Charmed.

Chapter Three

Gaia wondered how she ended up with this ticket. She distinctively remembered

buying the correct one, and arguing with the man at the kiosk when he short

changed her- did he switch the tickets? Gaia shook her head at the idea, she had

checked her ticket before boarding the train, plus the kiosk guy wouldn't give her

a ticket which cost less than she paid for in case he got found out and had his

ass fired. Gaia growled again, shoved the ticket back into her duffel bag, and

headed towards the nearest payphone. Ed was already at his aunt's house in

Brooklyn, waiting for her, so she should ring him and let him know what

happened. She inserted the money into the phone, only to have it returned in the

rejected coins slot. Gaia groaned- this just wasn't her day! She tried again and

got the same result. Gaia slammed the receiver down angrily. She looked

around; there didn't seem to be any other payphones in sight.

"Hey, sweetheart." Gaia spun to her left to face a man who looked at least seven

years older than her, and in desperate need of seeing a dentist, grinning at her,

"Having trouble with the phone? Let me help." Gaia nodded and stepped aside.

From the way that he spoke, Gaia could tell that he was scum, but she humoured

him anyway. She could simply kick his ass if he tried anything. She handed him

her change. He hit the phone box several times with the phone, inserted the

quarter and handed the receiver to Gaia. She smiled gratefully upon hearing the

dial tone. Maybe my assumption was wrong...

"Thanks." She said to the stranger.

"Be imaginative on how to thank me honey..." The stranger attempted to put his

arms around Gaia's waist. Guess not. A disgusted look appeared on Gaia's face,

she grabbed the beer bottle from his hand and smashed it onto his heinously

filthy hair. A bit old Western but it seemed to do the job; it knocked the guy out

cold. Gaia shook her head and dialled Ed's phone number. Ed answered on the

first ring,

"Gaia? Is that you? Are you okay?"

"Yes Ed, I'm fine." Gaia laughed. Despite her unfortunate situation, she couldn't

help but smile at her friend's ever present concern. Though, he did have a point;

he'd known Gaia long enough to know that trouble seems to follow her

everywhere, no matter what, "But I have a problem."

"I should say so G, you were supposed to be in Brooklyn an hour ago; I got

thrown out of the station for 'harassing' several blonde girls! Where are you?"

"San Francisco." Gaia replied, "Somehow, I ended up with the wrong ticket, and I

slept through the entire train ride..."

"How are you going to get back? My aunt and I can get to you and bring you

back... but the car is on the blink! We'll get the train and-"

"Ed, chill! If the car is not working, get it repaired, then come- don't waste money

on the train."

"But-"

"I'll be fine. I'm a big girl Ed. I'll stay in a motel and you can come and get me as

soon as you can. Okay?" Ed nodded, then realised that Gaia couldn't see him,

"Okay, just be careful. You know that San Francisco is known for all its

malevolent supernatural activity- especially on Friday the 13th."

"Oooh! Big words, Ed!" Gaia teased, "Seriously, all this supernatural stuff is a

whole load of rubbish. I'll be fine." The phone bleeped to let Gaia know that she

was almost out of money.

"Ed, I'm running out of money, I'll call you from the motel. Bye." The dial tone

sounded before Ed had a chance to reply.
