Chapter 3

Almost time to go to bed make up your own title name.

"Did you two just do that?" Melinda screamed as the tornado moved through the hallway making quite a bit of noise yet not seeming to touch anything. Pandora blew a spit bubble in answer. "Was it you who froze Chris?"

"Icy, Kiss!" Patricia gurgled happily.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"Melinda, what is going on?" Leo asked as he and Piper came out of the room. The tornado continued to rage down the hallway.

"I don't know! It just appeared!" Melinda screamed over the noise. Piper threw up her hands and the tornado froze.

"Ok, we need to contain this thing before it unfreezes." Leo said sprinting down the hall to get some of the teachers to help them.

"What was it?" Piper asked Leo after they had finally stopped the tornado or more the tornado ran out of steam.

"I don't know, but it was made by good magic." Leo replied.

"You don't think Melinda could have anything to do with it?" Piper asked.

"Well we already know she can manipulate objects, but we didn't know what her exact power was. Atmokinesis isn't a far stretch." He answered his brow contracting in worry. "Of course you would think she could control it better since she has already used that power."

"Well what about Chris being frozen? That isn't a weather related power." Piper pointed out.

"Maybe we should talk to her." Leo suggested.

"That's probably a good idea." They went back to Leo's office where Melinda was waiting.

"But I didn't conjure it, mommy," Melinda tried to explain, "the babies did."

"The babies are only three months old, Melinda." Piper told her. They had been talking about ten minutes and neither of Melinda's parents were taking her serious about the twins.

"Whatt had powers in before he was born." Melinda pointed out. She had heard the stories. In fact her parents having their powers switched by the unborn Whatt was her favorite bedtime story to Whatt's dismay.

"Alright," her father interjected always the one to consider all of the options where her mother only had a one track mind, "why do you think it was the twins?"

` "Well they were talking to me and they said they wanted to make a pretty swirl. Then the next thing I know there is a swirling vortex in the hallway." Melinda explained. Her parents shared a look.

"Honey, three month olds can't talk." Piper told her.

"Well they did." Melinda tried to convince her.

"Listen, honey, you're not in trouble for accidently using your powers even I do that sometimes, but you can't try to blame innocent babies." Piper told her. "We can help you control them, but we can't when you deny it."

"They're not innocent! They made a tornado indoors!"Melinda exclaimed. "And they did it on purpose!"

"Melinda." Leo was using his disapproving voice that always made his kids feel guilty. At least when they did something wrong!

"Daddy, I'm telling the truth they did it," When her father raised his eyebrows she exclaimed, "really!" Piper sighed.

"Why don't we just go home? It's been a long day. Everyone is tired. We'll talk in the morning." She said to the disbelief of her husband who had expected her to blow something up into a million pieces.

Authors notes: The next chapter is when the action really begins. The demons will finally be making an appearance and we get to see more of the twins' powers and some of Melinda's. We also get a flying school bus and get to see Aunt Phoebe and Coup making out.
