Summary: After "Forever Charmed", the girls and their men decided they wanted to get away from the city. In fact, they wanted to get away from the west entirely. So they moved to the small town we all know and love, Stars Hollow. Totally AU. Luke & Lorelai are together. No April or Anna. Oh ya, Coop & Phoebe are already married. Something else I wanted to add. Leo is a Whitelighter again, but the girls are his only charges. It's sorta a thank you present.
Brand New Life
Introductions, Part 2
A/N: Okay, so I have major writer's block. I called upon two of my best friends to help me, but at this point, they haven't replied, so I am winging it. I just really wanted to update. Right now, I'm listening to "Collide" by Howie Day for inspiration.
Disclaimer: When VW Bugs fly, Garfield stops eating lasagna, every single Hollywood marriage lasts, and rap is the favorite style of music throughout every age group is when I will own Charmed and Gilmore Girls.
"Wow, this place is so cute! It's like a little country B&B!" Paige said, as the whole group, the one that would bore you if I told you who specifically since you know who I am talking about, walked into the Dragonfly Inn.
"Don't you ever say those words again! Okay? You got that? We just hate B&Bs here at the Dragonfly," Lorelai said, which caused Piper to jump and scream. It was a good thing she had a control over her powers, of else Lorelai would've been a Lorelaisicle. Well, maybe not; she would be frozen, but not like Popsicle frozen. The only time Piper was able to turn people into ice was when a warlock tricked Prue into marrying him, which turned them all evil. That had great results. Piper froze Leo, Phoebe smashed Leo, and then Piper stepped on top of Leo's remains (aka ice). Okay, but that was a long time ago. Let's think happy thoughts now. Happy, happy, happy!
"Hi, you must be Piper. I'm Lorelai, owner of the Dragonfly. Your sisters told me almost nothing about you!"
"Yeah, well, what can I say? My sisters aren't exactly good at talking about anybody except themselves," Piper responded, receiving a 'Hey!' from Paige and Phoebe. Then Piper added, "But I'm guessing they told you about their nephews, Wyatt and Chris." As Piper said their names, she motioned to Wyatt and Chris. "I'm also guessing at least one of them said they were beautiful and they took after their wonderful aunts."
"How did you know?" Lorelai replied.
"That's Paige and Phoebe for you. They always want to claim these things for themselves."
"So not true!" Phoebe said. Just yesterday I told Leo that Chris was really getting good at-" Phoebe stopped, realizing she was about to say 'orbing'. Instead, she finished "coloring. Just like Leo, that one!"
Piper gave Phoebe a look, also realizing what Phoebe was going to say. "Yeah, Chris is great at coloring, just like his daddy. They can both stay on the paper. Maybe not inside the lines, but on the paper!" Piper said with a smile. "Oh, that reminds me: Lorelai, I haven't properly introduced you to the coloring genius. Lorelai, this is my husband Leo. He's a real angel."
"Hello, nice to meet you, Lorelai. Your inn is lovely."
"Why thank you. But really, I didn't do any of it. I just went to Home Depot and bought one of those things called "Inn in a Box". Y'know, just add water! The thing is, I was looking for a "Pool Hall in a Box", but this was all they had. So I settled for an inn." This made Piper, Leo, and Phoebe think back to Piper and Leo's wedding day when astral Prue was out at the pool hall getting herself arrested and wreaking havoc on the their wedding.
"Wow, quite an imagination, you've got there. So how is Luke? Is he here?" Coop replied.
"He'll be here in a few. C'mon, let's go into the dining room. There, we can meet 'The Sookie'! That's right, I said 'The Sookie'! What's a Sookie, you ask? A Sookie is the wonderful chef here at the Dragonfly. She is famous for causing mild to severe pain to herself by doing the slightest things! She can even cause pain to others sometime by mistake. Once, she got so excited, she hit one of the kitchen workers in the face with a frying pan!"
"Wow, this Sookie sounds like quite an interesting person," Phoebe said.
"Believe it or not, she isn't even close to the strangest person in town. Have you met Kirk yet?" Lorelai asked. "You might have seen him yesterday chasing a small, balding man through the town square waving a rubber chicken in his hand."
"Oh, yes, I do believe I remember seeing that, but I haven't been properly introduced to Mr. Rubber Chicken Man," Piper replied.
"Well, take my advice, stay away as long as you can. That won't be very long though. Kirk will show up anywhere. I swear, he works at every single job here in Stars Hollow. And I'm not exaggerating. In eleven years, he's had fifteen thousand jobs," Lorelai explained.
"Good to know," Paige replied.
The group went into the dining hall where they found a large table and a twenty-something year old girl. "This is my daughter Rory. Well actually, her name is Lorelai, after the fabulous me, of course. You see, I was all whacked out on Demerol, and I thought 'Guys name their children after themselves all the time, why can't I?'" Lorelai explained.
"Good point," Piper replied. I mean, what else do you say? 'They do not'? Ya, that would be good. Wyatt was named after Leo and Paige, and Chris was named after Leo's father.
"Anyway, Rory, this is Paige, Piper, Phoebe, Leo, Coop, Henry, Wyatt, and Chris."
"Nice to meet you. So what's with the 'P' names?" Rory replied.
"It's kind of a family tradition. It goes all the way back to at least the 1920s. I just broke the tradition because I had already. These two were the first males born into our family. At least since the 1600s, that is," Piper explained.
"Wow! That's a lot of girls."
"Tell me about it. Our grandmother was so upset, she almost didn't want to do Wyatt's Wic-I mean Christening," Phoebe said, almost letting something slip again. Piper gave her that look again. It was the look that made Phoebe want to crawl under a rock and hibernate for a year…or two…or ten.
"Aw, poor Wyatt!" Rory said. Then Sookie came out with a towel wrapped around her hand.
"Hey, sweetie, what happened?" Lorelai asked, motioning towards the towel.
"Oh, you see I was trying to get some more salt because we ran out. So I climbed up in the pantry. Then I fell out of the pantry. Then I stood up and hit my head on the counter, knocked a knife off, and then set my hand on top of said knife," Sookie explained, illustrating every move.
"See, what did I tell you. Famous for hurting herself. And just by trying to get salt!" Lorelai said with a laugh. Then Luke came in. Lorelai introduced him to everybody he hadn't met. Then the waiters brought out the dinner. They talked and laughed throughout the whole dinner. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige even shared the whole 'Loosing Prue, Finding Paige' story. Minus all the magic. They really liked these people, and they trusted them too, but they'd only know them for a day. They weren't about to scream out "Guess what! We're the most powerful good witches of all time! And Leo died in World War II! Oh, and did we mention, we fight demons, and warlocks, and vampires, and evil ghosts? And our sister didn't just die, she was killed by a demon!" Ha! Like that would go over real well. Maybe some day. Some day these people might find out the truth about them.
A/N: Wow! That was really long considering I have writer's block! And once again, they guys didn't talk much, in fact, Henry didn't say a word, but get used to it. I don't really know how to write the, so I just say they're there, and that's pretty much it. Anyway, I think this was a funny chapter, and I hope you do too. Please review! Y'know, that whole listening to Collide for inspiration thing didn't work. I sat there for a few minutes thinking, then I decided to read fanfic to get inspiration, but it wasn't for about another three hours that I actually started writing the chapter.
