Summary: 17 years later after the gang's High School graduation. Someone has isolated himself or herself from everyone else and dropped all contact to there past life. They've created a new identity and a new life. **************************************************************************** ***************
"YEA, I THINK I KNOW THAT PAIGE!" Sam yelled back.
"WELL THEN PRETEND I'M STUPID BECAUSE I'M MISSING THE PROBLEM SOMEWHERE!"
"JUST FORGET IT! GOD!"
Sam's hand began to glow a bright electric blue. "Shit!" She swore. Before Paige could as what was happening. A warlock blinked in.
Paige jumped out of the way as he threw an athame but she looked up just in time to see Sam vanquish it with a energy ball.
Phoebe, Leo, Wyatt and Piper all saw it too from the top of the stairs. They had heard the yelling and came to check it out.
Sam looked between Paige and the people at the top of the stairs. She then ran out the front door. **************************************************************************** ***************
She had just gotten down the outside steps when she collapsed onto the grass. "This isn't happening. This isn't happening" She muttered to herself.
Ray orbed down beside her.
"I saw what happened. Are you okay?"
"This isn't happening." She repeated. "Not now." She looked at Ray. "They know don't they?"
"Pam and Tim don't. Leo just orbed up after you ran out so I orbed down. He'll be talking to the Elders now. Don't you think you should tell them now?"
Sam shook her head. "Not now. I can't right now."
"I know, but-" Ray was cut off by Sam tensing in pain. She gritted her teeth. He knew what was happening and he tried to calm her down. "Fight it Sam. You're stronger then this. Fight it!"
Sam opened her eyes and they had turned RED for a millisecond before her arms collapsed from under her and her front hit the grass. Her eyes had returned to normal.
"It's okay. Good job." Ray told her, as he helped her stand up.
"My kids are teenagers. If this is going to keep happening every time I get angry, I'm screwed." Sam told him
"It doesn't happen every time you're angry and you know it. It's just when you can't feel anything but anger. It's not going to happen with Pam or Time because you're always going to feel love. It just happened when you were talking about DJ."
"So what does that mean? I don't love DJ?"
"I wouldn't go that far. I mean you did this to yourself - knowing these risks - because of DJ didn't you?"
Sam nodded. "Yea. A lot of good it did. My life is more messed now then it ever was."
"Again. I wouldn't go that far. I know your story. Did a little light research." Ray told her
Sam looked at him and smiled. "Light?" She chuckled a little. "Yea, I guess not. Well. all of our stuff if at the hotel still and I did pay for it for tonight."
"Wanna go to sleep? Ray asked, bending his arm towards her.
"I want to try." Sam responded, putting her arm inside his. They orbed out. **************************************************************************** ***************
Manor -
A little after Ray safely got Sam back to the hotel, he orbed back to the Manor. Everybody but Tim, Pam and Wyatt were in the attic since Wyatt was assigned to keeping the twins occupied.
"Sam's safe. She's at the hotel." Ray told Phoebe as he orbed in to see her scrying for Sam.
"What the hell happened down there?" Leo demanded from Ray, getting in his face. "And don't tell me you don't know because during her third year of University when I helped get you assigned to Pam and Time I told you to look over Sam!"
"Sam was scared, she resorted to demons and warlocks to help protect her new family but there were consequences for her decisions" Ray attempted to explain.
"Why didn't she trust us or the Elders to help protect her?!" Leo demanded again.
"She tried getting help from the Elders but she couldn't and DJ suggested coming here but Sam thought you guys would just tell her to stop worrying and that it wasn't a big deal. Pam and Tim can't use their powers without being detected after two minutes. Sam didn't know it was going to be a bad thing because she thought she could just teach them about potions and spells. She thought that, that would be enough for them. She didn't account for the phase they're going through now where they're trying to get away with using them." Ray continued
"What was with her throwing energy balls?" Phoebe asked
"Her emotions got out of control." Ray tried not to get into that one. Sam should be the one to explain that.
"I thought that when her emotions got out of control that her mind reading barrier collapsed?" Paige put in.
"Sam should explain this one. Not me." Ray finished. "She's safe right now she'll be back though." With that he orbed out. **************************************************************************** ***************
Next morning -
Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Leo all gathered up people that had helped them in the original search for Sam. They got Ray to orb the twins to Sam since knowing her; she wouldn't be coming by anytime soon.
Caitie, Alex, Kyle, Wyatt, Phoebe, Paige, Piper and Leo all piled into the living room.
"Wait, we're missing DJ." The now 35year-old Caitie spoke up.
"DJ is staying at the magic school for the time being." Leo told them all. They all knew better then to ask why.
"Sam's here. In San Francisco." Piper started. Kyle, Alex and Caitie all quickly snapped around to look at her.
"What?" Alex asked. "She refused to come when we went to Boston."
"I know but she's here." Phoebe told them. "She's with Pam, Tim and Ray."
"We don't know why she's here but Ray told Leo that she told him that something happened that made her realize she should come back." Paige explained. "She threw an energy ball yesterday; vanquished a warlock."
"She threw a energy ball?" Kyle asked; shocked
"Is that possible?" Caitie asked
"It's not supposed to be." Leo spoke up again. "Apparently David and Ray know what happened though. They both said we should hear it from Sam."
"David's here too?" Caitie asked hopeful.
"Yea. He and Sam were talking a lot last night." Wyatt told them. **************************************************************************** ***************
Sam, David, Pam, Tim and Ray -
Sam was showing Pam and Tim around the city, she got David to come along and of course Ray was obliged to come.
They were now in the huge shopping mall that was at least four levels. "Do each of you have your bankcards?" Sam asked as Pam and Tim stood in front of her. They both nodded.
"Good. I'll be around the mall too if you need me and my cell phone is turned on. I know it's a big mall. Be careful, stick together and call me if you get into trouble."
They both nodded and ran off leaving Ray, David and Sam all alone. David's arm was once again wrapped around Sam protectively and she leaned her head against his shoulder.
"I'm just going to follow them." Ray told the two best friends.
"They're going to get pissed off at you, if you do that." Sam told him. "What's the worst demonic thing that could happen in a public shopping mall? They don't want to be exposed as much as we don't." Sam lowered her voice.
"Okay." Ray agreed. "Call if you need me." With that he left to go find a bathroom, he could orb out from.
"Alone at least" David joked, kissing the top of Sam's head.
"When's the last time you were here?" Sam asked him, referring to the mall.
"I don't know. You?" He replied
"A long time ago." She answered "In a galaxy far, far away?" David joked.
"Definitely" Sam responded grinning.
"Come on." He told her. "Let's go look around."
Sam agreed and a few hours later she called Tim and Pam to meet them somewhere for lunch. They eventually met on the second level where most of the food venues were.
"So what do you guys want?" Sam asked
"Dairy Queen" they responded in unison.
"Uh huh." Sam smiled. "Does that sound good to you?" She turned to David.
"Yea, sure that's fine."
"Alright guys. Come on."
The four started walking to the small Dairy Queen when Sam stopped them. She turned Pam around to face her. "Pam, what's in your pocket?"
"Just something I bought." Sam noticed that Pam was looking down and not up at her.
"Well what something did you buy?" Sam challenged, she looked at Tim and saw that he too looking confused meaning that Sam's suspicions were correct.
Pam didn't answer. Sam held out her hand. "Give it to me."
Pam reached into her jean pocket and put something into Sam's hand. It was a make-up eye shadow kit. It made sense that Tim wouldn't know that Pam wouldn't stolen it. He wouldn't waited outside the store if it was a girly store or he wouldn't waited in a different section if Pam went to the make- up section.
"Want to give me a receipt?" Sam angrily asked.
"I can't" Pam softly answered
"I thought so. Come on everybody." Sam walked away and the three followed. They went to a excluded area and Sam got David to blink them out.
They landed back in the Manor living room. Sam looked confused for a minute to see everybody there but she just waved it off. "Whatever. Mom, Phoebe, Paige and Leo. Can I talk to you guys for a minute?"
The four adults nodded and Sam led them into the sunroom. Sam motioned for David to follow them too. He looked really uncomfortable being in the same room as Caitie.
"What's up?" Piper asked cautiously.
"Listen, I will explain what happened last night, trust that and I'm not going to ask about what going on in the living room moistly because I don't care but I need help!" Sam looked like she was going to break down any second.
"My god." Phoebe muttered. "What's wrong? Is it your magical?"
Sam shook her head. "It's Pam." She tossed a eye shadow to Paige.
"Did she steal that?" Piper asked
Sam nodded.
"Does she know about you? With Brian and Joey?"
Sam shook her head. David wrapped his arms around her comfortingly. "It's okay" He whispered.
Sam wiped the first few tears to fall.
"Sam, you have to tell her. She's never going to realize it for real until you do." Phoebe spoke.
"I'm a lawyer for teenagers. I deal with this stuff everyday and she knows that! How is she not realizing it?"
"Because it's no one she knows that's getting into trouble." Piper finished. **************************************************************************** *************** The four oldest adults left the sunroom and Sam and David eventually followed them out.
Wyatt had taken the twins upstairs, Kyle mentioned softly that Pam looked scared. Alex stood up angrily after that comment was made.
"I don't know why, it's nothing her mother hasn't done before. She just obviously didn't inherit the skills involved like Laura here knows."
Alex and Sam walked towards each other threatingly. "Watch it Alex, besides it's Sam now."
"Really? Or does it just change with that state you're in?"
"What's your problem? I never did anything to you!"
Alex ignored the question and just continued. "You're just lucky she isn't using drugs.. unless maybe she is. Like mother like daughter?"
"Back off Alex! I can still kick your ass."
"Guys stop it!" Caitie yelled between their retorts.
"Stay out of it Caitlyn!" Sam yelled at her, looking around Alex. "You're the one who told David when you were drunk that you didn't want to have a kid with him because you were afraid he'd be magically screwed up. Way to go! You ruined two friendships with the comment."
"You better listen to her Caitie." Alex told her. "You can always tell when Sam is lying. She sucks at it. That very first time we ever smoked pot you got yourself knocked into a hospital bed for three days because you sucked at lying so bad."
"Good to know how much anger you've been suppressing for twenty-eight years Alex." Sam told her.
It was getting nerve-wracking for anybody watching, seeing how close they were getting.
"Hey maybe she IS smoking pot Sam, then maybe you to can go slutting together. Maybe meet up with another gang like Brian and Joey's?"
Sam then grabbed Alex by her arms and threw them both behind the couch. Everybody jumped up and tried to get them apart before any hits were thrown, luckily Piper was able to pull Sam off of Alex and David was able to pull Alex off.
"Do you two still think you're in High School or something! Jeez!" Paige stood between them.
"Why the hell don't you stay out of my life Alex? You weren't around in High School to get all the facts anyway! You left me when I was still in that damn hospital bed!" Sam yelled at her, even though she was out of breath.
"The hell with you Sam!" Alex yelled back
"Alright stop it! We're all adults here!" Paige spoke again.
"I don't know why you ever bothered to come back!" Alex continued.
"Me either!" Sam responded. She blinked out of Piper's arms and back to Boston.
"Oh great!" Piper started sarcastically. "Now she's blinking!" **************************************************************************** ***************
