Upon returning to the manor, Binxs helped carry in all the bags inside from the car then dashed up to his room carrying the bags containing his new posters and his new books. He was struggling to hang up the map on the far wall that had the most space. One it wouldn't stay up with the tape and two it was so large that Binxs couldn't keep one end up with out the other end falling down to the floor. After the enormous battle which followed, Phoebe came up to check on him and grinned as she watched him struggle with the poster, which finally fell down completely draping over him.

"I don't suppose you want some help Binxs?" The lump which was Binxs moved to look at her and nodded. She grinned wider and walked over pulling the poster off him and together they used thumbtacks to secure the large poster up, Binxs had to climb up on his bunk to reach one corner which stretched, brushing his ceiling. "When you picked this out I didn't realize how big it was." It was true; the poster easily covered the entire wall.

"Yup," Binxs said grinning. He reached for the tacks again and chewed on his knuckle deep in thought.

"What'cha thinking about?" Phoebe asked putting her hand on his shoulder and hugging him.

"Just where I'm gonna mark all the places I wanna visit. I think I'll mark the places I want to visit with these blue ones, and with the silver ones I'll mark places I've already been." He said sticking the first blue tack right on New York, the first silver one he placed on the letters LA and the second silver one wound up on San Francisco. After that he began placing the blue tacks all around the map all the places around the world he wanted to go. After that poster was up, Binxs covered the other walls with the other two posters. Then he took his new books and set them up in the bookcase next to his old ones.

"Binxs Phoebe, come downstairs, we've got work to do remember?" Piper's voice echoed upstairs,

"Come on you, let's go on a demon hunt." Phoebe said holding her hand out to him. Binxs grinned and took her hand; they looked at each other and walked downstairs.

Downstairs, living room, on the coffee table, Piper had the Book of Shadows open and was flipping through it.

"Its about time," Piper said grinning "get all your things away?"

"Almost," Binxs said sitting down next to her while Phoebe sat on his other side.

"All right, lets find these guys," Phoebe said and began flipping the pages while Binxs looked at the pictures carefully, he didn't see the demons at all. He began to worry, what if they weren't in here, what if they never figured out how to get rid of them and they came after him, he didn't want anything to happen to his aunts.

"What if their not in here?" he asked softly Piper put her arm around his shoulders and hugged him gently

"We'll find them don't worry," she said kissing him on the top of his head.

Suddenly the phone rang,

"I'll get it," Phoebe said she dashed out into the foyer to get the phone, Binxs reached to turn the page, picturing the younger demon in his mind, when suddenly the pages began flipping by themselves. Quickly Binxs put his hands down in shock, Piper looked at him and he looked back at her both in shock as the pages instantly floated down the second that Binxs's hands weren't over the book

"Phoebe!" Piper called, Phoebe came in talking on the phone,

"Hold on a second," she said into the phone and looked at Piper "what?" Piper looked at her

"Something strange just happened with the book, it was flipping the pages on its own." Phoebe looked at Piper questioningly Binxs nodded hurriedly "when Binxs put his hands near it," she looked at him "do it again sweetie." He nodded slowly and slowly put his hand over the book in the back of his mind he kept the image of the demon clear.

Once again the pages began flipping on their own and Binxs felt his hand getting warm not enough to burn but like sunshine on a spring day.

"I'll call you back," Phoebe said hanging up the portable phone and walking over to them. "Is Binxs doing that?" Piper shrugged and put her arm around Binxs's shoulders.

"Binxs are you doing that?"

"I don't know, I think so," he answered biting his bottom lip hard. The pages stopped flipping and settled down opening to the picture of the demon that had been after Binxs. The one that never spoke to him, he felt the blood drain from his face and felt his heart beat quicken. Piper saw the paleness in his face

"Sweetie is that one of them?" he nodded; Phoebe moved the book a little so she could read from it.

"Lunus, well known Demonic bounty hunter, he is known to take any job for high level demons as long as the pay is sufficient. Is mainly a solitary hunter, but will join forces with other more powerful demons and warlocks if the bounty is more valuable then normal." She paused and looked at Binxs quickly before continuing "he has no overly powerful abilities, but does carry a type of gun that weakens all magical beings, it usually is not used to kill but it does paralyzes the victim's powers temporally, Lunus uses this to capture his bounty, the bullets the gun deploys resemble normal 9mm bullets."

"I'm in trouble, aint I?" Binxs said quietly staring at the picture, Phoebe was about to answer when the front door opened and Prue came in grinning.

"Ok, I stopped by the elementary school down the street, Kennedy Elementary on my way home; Binxs your all set for school you start the day after tomorrow. Your old school is faxing all your records over. So tomorrow if you two want I can take the day off, and take him to the doctors for a check up I couldn't believe that I got an appointment for tomorrow this short notice, but I did, he's also gonna have a dentist appointment in two weeks so one of you is going to have to take him. So Binxs you're really going to have a hectic next few weeks. Did either one of you call that specialist the doctor at the hospital recommended?" She stopped when she saw the looks on their faces, "what, what happened why the long faces?" Piper picked up the book and pointed at the picture of Lunus.

"We've got a demonic bounty hunter after Binxs," Phoebe said her arm wrapped protectively around Binxs's shoulders.

"Come again?" Prue said sitting down next to Piper and reading the passage in the book. "Lunus, Demonic bounty hunter?"

"Binxs had a run in with him at the mall, him and friend of his that apparently has the ability to slow time, not stop it, slow it." Piper said.

"Binxs is this the guy who was at your school?" Binxs nodded

"I never saw his face, he stayed in the car the whole time, the other guy is the one I talked to. I know I shouldn't have talked to him, but he said he knew my dad." He looked up at his aunts "I'm sorry, if I had just listened to what we where taught in school 'bout strangers none of this would've happened." Prue hugged his shoulders gently

"Binxs, look at me," he looked at her slowly "none of this is your fault understand?" Binxs swallowed and bit his lip for a minute before he leaned closer to her; he closed his eyes as she rocked him.

"She's right sweetie, none of this is your fault and no matter what we'll make sure nothing happens to you." Piper kissed him on the top of his head "I'm going to go make dinner,"

"I'll grab the mail," Phoebe walked into the hall and came back with the mail. There was a large envelope among the letters.

"What's that?" Piper asked looking at the envelope. Phoebe held it up to her

"It's for Binxs," Prue looked at Binxs then stood up and took the envelop from

Phoebe, "Daniel Burmen, 1329 Prescott Street," Prue said reading the address "the return

address is in LA, Marlboro Street," she looked at Piper and Binxs came up behind Prue

"Is that where I used to live…where my parents-" he started to say and stopped, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe nodded and Phoebe put her arms around his shoulders. They sat back down on the couch,

"Well its Binxs's mail, it's his to open," Prue said handing the envelope to Binxs. Binxs took a deep breath and ripped open the envelope. He reached inside and pulled out a letter and a video tape. He opened the letter and cocked his head trying to read it.

"I can't read it, its really fancy cursive." Piper took the letter from him and looked over the eloquent handwriting. "What's it say?"

"It says 'Dear Daniel, I don't expect you to remember me, but I remember you very well. I helped your parents get settled here when they first moved to LA. I was a close friend of your mothers helping her through her pregnancy with you and sitting for you whenever she needed me. You where such a sweet little boy and it was hard for me to say good bye to you when your parents died. After their deaths, I along with your neighbors each took whatever items we felt where sentimental from your house and kept them in ours until we could return them to you. I gave everything I had to Leeann Phelps who lived across the street from you; she gave the box to your aunts along with other items. This video however was lost in my house and I just found it. I'm not sure what is exactly on it, it was taken from your father's study. I pray we meet again someday and I hope you or your aunts keep in touch with me, just to let me know how you are doing. Sincerely Janice Margaret,'" Piper handed the letter to Binxs who looked it over before reaching into the envelope and puling out the video.

"Can we watch it?" he asked softly, Phoebe took it nodding. She walked over to the TV and put it in the VCR.

The four of them sat on the couch together waiting for it to start. A date popped up on the blue screen 11/10/89, before the screen gave way to a hospital corridor. The camera was bouncing up and down as if the person holding it was walking very fast or running. Suddenly the person slowed to a stop and the camera focused. They where looking through a glass window, through the window was a nursery. Nurses walked around checking the babies. The camera person moved the camera so they where looking at the cameraman, Binxs's father Max Burmen. Binxs started at his father with the same ice blue eyes as him, light brown hair and a huge grin on his face.

"Looks like the nurses already beat me to the punch. Let's be very, very quiet and see if we can find the mommy and the baby. Oh yes before I forget, cause I probably will in a few years, you know see this tape hanging around in the assorted bunch of tapes I can assure will be acquired over the years until Dan's like what 30 married and out of the house. Anyways and be like…ok now what did I tape on this one, today's the day we can finally bring Daniel Michael Burmen home, I think he'll be as happy as his mom and I to get outta this hospital. I'm just visiting and I'm getting the creeps" Max said grinning wide and shivering jokingly; Phoebe, Prue and Piper looked at each other and grinned with amusement.

"I guess Max didn't change with fatherhood," Piper whispered to Prue who nodded trying not to laugh. Max began walking down the corridor again and stopped in front of a closed door.

"Here we are, let's see if mommy and baby are awake. Shh," he opened the door quietly. The sisters again exchanged another look this time a one of sadness as the camera focused on their older sister Pam, sound asleep in a rocking chair in her arms, lay a little bundle in blue. "Yep I was right, zonked," the baby in her arms however wasn't asleep. "That's my boy," Max said putting the camera down on the table so it was still watching him, and picking the baby up. "Your going to be a night owl isn't you? Just like me,"

"That's me!" Binxs exclaimed grinning Piper nodded

"Yup that's you,"

"Hey Danny how's it hanging," Max said holding baby Dan and sitting down on a chair, "you and me haven't had a chance to really chat have we? Man to man, Gonna have to lay dow some ground rules ok? Now these two AM crying for food? I'll put up with if for a few weeks until you get settled in, after all being born its gotta be kind of stressful 'specially being born in the back seat of the car on Halloween, but after those two weeks your only to wake up your mother deal?" Max said grinning wide rocking the baby who closed his eyes and appeared to drift off to sleep. "Ok when your more awake we'll talk some more on the ground rules" he paused and stared at the baby for a moment "your gonna have it all buddy I promise I wont let anything bad happen to you. You've got my word," Max kissed the baby on the forehead. "I'll always be here to protect you and guide you."

"Max?" Pam's voice from somewhere away from the cameras view said "honey how long have you been in here?"

"Just a few minutes you ready to go home?" Max stood up and walked away from the cameras view. They camera stayed focused on the empty chair,

"The sooner the better, I hate hospitals."

"Then lets get going, oops hold on a sec, the cameras still running, the batteries going to die if I don't shut it down." Max walked up to the camera and the screen went black.

This black lasted a few seconds as the camera turned on the blue screen again a date 01/03/90 appeared before the screen gave way to a small kitchen, Binxs stared it was the same kitchen he had seen in his dream. Max popped back into the frame grinning at it wide.

"Here we are ladies and gents, boys and girls, to Dan's first attempt at actual baby food. Brought to you by Gerber and Independence Super Market of Los Angeles, California, film directed by Max Burmen, filming by Max Burmen, set designer Max Burmen, casting by-"

"Max!" Prue, Phoebe, and Piper looked at each other quickly as their sister's voice said loudly trying not to laugh at her husband from somewhere out the camera's range. Suddenly Pam stepped into the camera's view she stood poised with a jar of baby food in one hand a spoon in the other. Dan sat in a highchair clapping and grinning reaching for the camera. "Poor Dan is going to watch this someday,"

"Oh come on Pam no kid likes watching home movies about themselves."

"When he's older he will," she looked at him "don't you wish you could?"

"Uh, no I am glad proof of my childhood is non existent. I was a pathetic little squirt whose biggest thrill was playing ridicules jokes on my stepbrother and usually having them backfire massively." Pam looked at him sadly "hey I'm ok with it," he grinned "come on lets get this major production on the road," Max whipped out an rain slicker, a motorcycle helmet and a pair of rubber gloves. He pushed the face shield on the helmet down and stood ready with a frying pan in one hand and a scrub brush in the other. "Ok go for it,"

"Max you look ridicules,"

"You won't be thinking that when you're covered in baby food and I'm nice and clean."

"Oh don't be such a baby,"

"I am not being a baby, I'm being smart," Pam rolled her eyes

"No your being a goof," Max shrugged and stood ready as Pam took a spoonful of food and brought it towards Dan. He took a bite and made a face Pam turned to look at Max "see nothing to worry abo-" suddenly the spoon, the food, and the frying pan in Max's hand went sailing through the window behind Max shattering it. Pam jumped up screaming a little.

"What the hell!?" Max said jumping, "Pam are you all right?"

"Ye…Yes…what happened?"

"I don't know is Dan ok?" Pam looked over at him; he was grinning and clapping happily. Piper, Phoebe Prue, and Binxs looked at one another

"Whoa…" Binxs breathed "Did I do that?!"

"I…I don't know sweetie." Prue said. On the TV Max walked over to the window and Pam came up behind him with Dan in her arms.

"Pam, I think, I think Dan did that,"

"Max don't be ridicules there's no way he has-"

"Pam look at your family, look at me, I can't believe I didn't see it sooner."

"But how,"

"I don't know, everything happens for a reason. There's a purpose for Dan, I just wish I knew what it was. The Halliwell magic has something planned for him,"

"What should we do?"

"I don't know, I'll have to think about this, I'll fix the window tomorrow it'll give me some time to think. Hey maybe we should call your grandmother,"

"No, no she is the last person I'm going to call about this."

"But she had to go through this with your sisters; she has to have some idea of what we could do,"

"No Max I refuse to ask Grams for help,"

"Bu-"

"The answer is no, and that's it,"

"All right," he said putting his arm around Pam's shoulder. Before looking over at the camera, "Hey the cameras still running,"

"Should we erase this?"

"No, not right away if we need to I will till then, lets just turn it off, I don't know about you but I could sure go for a banana split, what do you say?"

"How can you think about food at a time like this?"

"That's just it I can't think on an empty stomach,"

"Do you think it's safe?"

"We can't just hide away in the house Pam, come on I know you want a hot fudge sundae, I'll give Janice a call, see if she can sit." Max walked over to the camera and it went black. Phoebe hit the fast forward button, but nothing else came. The four of them sat in silence for a moment before looking at each other.

"Binxs why don't you go get washed up for dinner ok?" he nodded

"K." he said softly obviously just as confused as the sisters. He slowly walked out of the room. After he had disappeared upstairs the sisters looked at each other.

"Max knew, how did Max know? About us about, everything."

"Maybe Pam told him,"

"But why?"

"I don't know," Prue said "but I have a feeling it all has something to do with Grams and why she didn't want Pam to marry Max."

Upstairs in his room, Binxs sat at his desk chair sketching absently; he didn't pay any attention to what the finished project was. He left it lying on his desk when Piper called him for dinner. After dinner and after helping clean up, Binxs asked if he could watch TV, he explained at the home the kids always watched cartoons. That's where he was when Prue came into check on him,

"Hey how you doing?"

"Fine," he replied his eyes glued to the set, his favorite cartoon was on, Wily Coyote. He grinned and laughed a little as Wiley in another doomed attempt to catch the Road Runner, took out a large rocket with the words Acme on the side. He sat on top of it and lit the fuse. "You'd think he'd learn he's never gonna catch the Road Runner by getting all his stuff at Acme," Binxs said looking up at Prue. She chuckled and sat down on the couch next to him.

"Then it wouldn't be as funny," she said hugging his shoulders

"I guess your right," he admitted "still would be cool if just one time he caught that bird." Binxs grinned a little "meep meep" he said

"Hey that was pretty good;"

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you?" Prue said tickling his stomach a little, Binxs laughed and squirmed he laughed louder then he ever had at a cartoon, he'd never really been tickled before and he liked it, Prue stopped tickling him and kissed his head. The cartoon ended and Binxs stretched

"I've seen that one hundreds of times, but I still like it, it never gets old." He paused and looked at Prue "what time do I gotta go to the doctors?"

"Well the only appointment I could get was at 8:30 tomorrow morning, so-"

"So I gotta get up early?"

"Well what time do you usually get up?"

"Uh, at the home we had to be up at 7:30 to be at school by 8:30, we had breakfast at school and class started at 9. On weekends we couldn't get up until at least 9, 9:30 was the latest we could sleep."

"So we should be up by at least 7:30, if you want we can stop and you can get a donut."

"I don't like donuts," Binxs said he shrugged "dunno why though, never have."

"Well how about muffins?" he grinned wide

"I like those!" he exclaimed

"Then it's settled."

"Does that mean I gotta go to bed now?" he asked looking at his new watch it was only 7:30. He usually went to bed at 8:30, nine if he could get away with it.

"No, but you probably should hit the showers, so you can be nice and clean for tomorrow." Binxs made a face

"Do I gotta?"

"Yes you gotta," she said tickling him a little bit again. "Do you like baths or showers?" He shrugged "how about we stick with a shower for now, I'll go get your water started you go to you room grab your PJs deal?" he nodded

"Ok," And with that Binxs ran upstairs to his room.

After his shower, feeling very clean, Binxs went downstairs into the kitchen, very thirsty. He went over to the cabinet where the glasses were, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't reach them. He was about to try that calling thing that he had done in his dream when Phoebe poked her head in

"Hey how was your shower?"

"Nice," he replied "but I'm kinda thirsty, can I have something to drink please?"

"Sure, you don't have to ask," Binxs went red

"I kinda do, see I can't reach the glasses," Phoebe grinned

"You know I used to have that same problem when I was your age, the glasses where always out of my reach." She leaned down so she was eyelevel with him "you know what I used to do?"

"What?"

"Well if you want to know the secrete to my success you've gotta swear you'll take it with you to the grave," Binxs grinned and nodded

"I swear," he said crossing his heart "cross my heart hope to die,"

"Well I used to just climb onto the counter when I was a few years younger then you are, I'd pull a chair over from the table and climb up that way. But you're tall enough to pull yourself right onto the counter."

"I can climb on the counter?" Binxs exclaimed in shock,

"Just be careful," he grinned "you might want to use a chair to climb up though sweetie, until your shoulder is better, pulling yourself onto the counter might irritate it,"

"Thanks Phoebe," he walked over to the table and dragged a chair over to the counter and easily stepped up onto the counter. He knelt on the top and reached up pulling down a glass.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Milk," he replied

"Should've guessed that," Binxs grinned and shrugged as he slid back onto the chair, he pushed the chair back to where it had been and sat down in it as Phoebe poured him a glass and took a bottle of water out of the fridge for herself and sat across from him. Binxs took a sip of his milk and looked at Phoebe.

"Did watchin' that video make you guys sad?" he asked softly Phoebe didn't answer right away she reached over and put her arm around his shoulder.

"A little bit, we loved your mom very much." Binxs put the glass down and stared at it

"I'm sorry," he said softly

"For what?"

"Askin' to watch that movie, I wanted to know what was on it, I'm sorry it made you guys sad."

"Hey, its ok Binxs, true watching it did make us a little sad, but we got to see how happy your mom was and see what a great little baby you where and how you turned out to be just a great kid,"

"Really?"

"Really," Binxs put his head down a little

"I just wish I could remember them, I mean seein them on the movie was great, but I want the real thing." Phoebe hugged him tight and he rested his head on her shoulder.

"I know you do and that's completely understandable." She paused for a moment as she let go of him and looked at him "you know you and me have a lot in common." Binxs cocked his head curiously

"Really?"

"Yup,"

"Like what?"

"Well we're both Scorpios," Binxs made a confused face

"Scorpios?"

"Astrological signs," he still looked confused "come on I'll show you," Binxs finished his milk and put it in the sink. Phoebe took his hand and led him to her room. She took out a book from her bedside table and showed him the pictures inside. "See every couple of months have a sign, some people believe it describes our personalities and why we are the way we are." Phoebe pointed to Scorpio the scorpion. "This is you and me, October 23rd to November 22, Scorpios are considered passionate, intense, secretive, magnetic, powerful, and vindictive, like their spider namesake they can be quick and bold and strike when the time is right."

"What's vindictive mean?"

"It means some one who's vengeful."

"Oh," Phoebe grinned

"What about passionate?"

"That's someone whose takes pride in what their doing they have a love of it."

"So think that sounds a little like you?"

"I guess, I am secretive, but I don't think I'm ven…vindictive, powerful, intense, passionate or magnetic." He looked at her "am I?"

"Well I think you are very powerful, you're a Halliwell, we're a powerful family." Binxs grinned

"What else do we have in common?"

"Well we're the youngest in the family, we both have the power to see into the future," she grinned "same hair color, see we have lots of stuff in common,"

"I guess we do, what's your favorite candy?"

"Twix and M&Ms" Binxs's mouth dropped

"Mine two!"

"See more stuff, whose your favorite Loony Toon?"

"Willey E. Coyote!" Binxs said loudly emphasizing the E, Phoebe reached over and tussled his hair

"Gotta love that determined Coyote," she said.

"Binxs?" Piper's voice called through the house,

"Yea?"

"Where are you?" she said her voice getting closer

"He's in here Piper," Phoebe said, seconds later Piper poked her head into Phoebe's room.

"Whatcha doing?"

"Phoebe was showing me astro…" he looked at Phoebe "what's it called 'gain?"

"I was showing him astrology,"

"Ah, well little Scorpio, its time for you to crawl your way to brush your teeth and then make your way to bed,"

"Do I hafta?"

"Honey its nearly 9:15, you've got to get up early tomorrow remember?" Binxs made a face, it wasn't that he forgot, he had just chosen not to remember, he hated going to the Doctors it always meant he was going to get a shot even if he was told he wasn't getting a shot chances where he was getting one.

"Man," he grumbled Phoebe reached over and hugged him kissing him on the cheek

"Ooo you smell like fruit,"

"It's the shampoo, Pert Plus for kids,"

"Tropical splash," Piper added.

"That's why you smell like the Caribbean." Binxs grinned "night sweetie love you,"

"Love you too," he said grinning a little before running out of the room and into the bathroom. Phoebe watched him go; she hadn't told him what their major thing they had in common was. Neither one of them remembered their mothers.

A few minutes later Binxs was out of the bathroom and went into his room down the hall. Piper was in there folding his blankets down and he climbed up into bed. Kit was there waiting for him all curled up at the foot of his bed. When she heard him climb in, her ears perked up and she stretched, yawning stood up and walked over to him rubbing against his face before curling back up close to him. Piper chuckled a little as she pulled the blankets up to his chin.

"Sweet dreams ok?" he nodded, she went on the first rung of the ladder and kissed his forehead. "Love you,"

"Love you too," Binxs said sleepily, Piper switched the light above his bed off and hopped off the ladder quietly. She reached to the desk to turn off his desk lamp, when the drawing he had left early caught her eye. It was a sketch of two guys in suits, one was the demon they had found in the book, she didn't recognize the other one. They both where standing in front of a black car, the one she recognized held a gun in his right hand, while the other had his right hand up waving. Piper looked at Binxs who was now fast asleep then back at the drawing. She picked it up and quietly turned off both his desk lamp and lowering his overhead light to a dim, before leaving the room, leaving the door open a crack and heading off to find Prue and Phoebe to show them the drawing.
