Ok, guys I will apologize in advance for how short this chapter is. Just think of it as a little teaser. I think it's the shortest chapter in the entire story. Please continue to review, and thanks to those who have already reviewed!! I love reading them!! Ok, so on to the chapter...
The girls were in Mel's room going through her extensive wardrobe, when Peyton remembered her discussion with Blake earlier in the day. How could Mel go out with another guy when Blake was getting ready to tell her how he feels about her?
"Mel, are you sure you want to go out with this guy. I mean Chris might be right, he could be a demon" Peyton stated.
"Oh come on Pey not you too. Look, it's one date it's not like I'm going to marry the guy. Anyway I don't exactly have a packed events calendar lately" Mel concluded.
"Well maybe you would if you opened your eyes a little more" Peyton mumbled under her breath.
"What was that?" Mel asked.
"Oh nothing. I guess you're right it's not like you two are eloping tomorrow night. I say you should go with the gray leggings and the black tunic top with the neon designs on it" Peyton said.
"I disagree; I still say short red dress. It is flowing, yet sexy" Portia stated.
"No. You both are wrong. Clearly she needs the polka-dot skirt with the pleats, and the purple silk shirt, you know the sleeveless one with the round collar" Parker explained.
"Parker that's perfect. See this is why I have all three of you guys helping me. Who better to know what to wear to impress a guy than three cupids" Mel exclaimed as she hugged Parker.
Early the next day...
"I can't believe Portia got a new power. When do I get something new?" Faith asked as she walked down the street with Parker and Hope.
"That's what I said; I wish I had an offensive power. But I guess you don't really have one either do you Faith?" Parker added as an afterthought.
"No. I mean deflection is a great power, but I wish I could do something more you know. Especially since Hope and H.J. both can orb things, they at least have something offensive" Faith explained. "I can only deflect an attack if it comes straight at me."
"Yea, well I can basically just move out of the way of an attack. I mean I get that two powers is more than what most witches get, but I guess I just wish I was more useful in our little prophesized group" Parker said.
"Don't say that. Look you guys are both important to not only the prophecy, but also our family. We are more than just witches you know, we are humans too" Hope interjected.
"Don't forget cupids" Parker said with a laugh.
"And whiter lighters" Faith interjected.
"You two know what I mean. Parker, in case you didn't notice you were defiantly needed to vanquish that demon the other night. Without the power of levitation you would have been a shish kabob" Hope told her cousin.
"Yea I was the one who didn't do anything" Faith said with a frown.
"Whatever, without you there with me, I wouldn't have been able to ignore Parker, setting our trap" Hope said as she put an arm around her sister. "And who is to say you two won't develop anymore powers, I mean Chris has gotten two new powers this year, it could still happen."
"Yea why does Chris get all these powers?" Parker added. "It's just so unfair."
"Tell me about it" Faith added with a sigh.
"I give up" Hope said as she started walking a head of her cousin and sister.
Blake's words kept playing over and over in Chris's head. He decided that he needed to finally have that talk with Bianca. He dug his cell phone out of his pocket and called his ex-girlfriend.
"Hello?" Bianca's voice came from the other end.
"Hey Bianca. Um, are you busy right now, I was wondering if I could stop by and talk?" Chris asked as knots started to tie in his stomach.
"Uh ok yea sure. Chris what is this about?" she asked.
"I'll explain when I get there, is now ok, I'll just orb over" he said.
"That's fine, see you in a few seconds" Bianca said as she hung up.
Chris put his phone away and took a deep breath. "It was now or never" he thought as he orbed out.
