1x18: Best Friends?
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." — Marilyn Monroe
Parker: It had been almost a week, and right now she was running through the rain, it helped her try and think through the problems that she was having at that second. The one major problem that kept annoying her was that she had no clue how she was going to stop Damian from turning evil. She had no clue how she was going to defeat whatever demon that had killed her, seeing as he killed her, and she in the future should have had stronger powers, she was weak here, and she had no clue if it was even possible to kill said demon. Her gut told her everything would turn out fine, but then again when was the last time her gut had been right? There was a soft buzz in her pocket and she looks down at it, and reads 'Damian', she can't help but not want to answer him so she pressed 'quiet' making him think her phone was still ringing and she might pick up any second until the phone would in fact send him to her voice message.
She did know one thing, whatever she was going to do, it had to be today, or at least, she'd have to start today, and as she looked up to the manor, all she wanted to do, was fall down on her knees and get in the fetal position and cry her eyes out, scream and throw bolts around, let her emotions control her, anything to let her smile just once, but now as she entered the manor, through the kitchen and she saw her aunts and her mother having a conversion with someone, she couldn't help but feel so powerless, in a powerful home.
Phoebe: Smiles, "Hey baby," Parker nods her head but doesn't answer her mother with her famous smile, and that worries Phoebe a lot. Phoebe also notices the fact that Parker still hadn't dyed her hair back to its normal light brown, though light brown was her everyday color, it wasn't her real hair color, the dark brown that she had on now was indeed her real hair color. "Everything okay?"
Parker: "Peachy," She looks back and found Gabriel standing there, with a half smile on his worried filled face, "Gab?"
Gabriel: Trying to almost avoid her eyes, "Hey Park,"
Parker: Rolling her eyes slightly, "What are you doing here?"
Gabriel: He stuck his hands in his pockets, "I need a favor, it's kinda big." He smiles as Mel walks into the room holding the book, "You found him?"
Mel: Walking up to Gabriel, "I'm a witch, what do you think?"
Gabriel: His eyes had a light gleam in them, "I will never doubt your Halliwell blood again." He smiles almost a flirting smile, and he looks back at Parker who is standing behind him, with her not so amused face, and her arms crossed over her chest, "DK?"
Parker: Stern look, "No,"
Gabriel: Softly chuckles, "Don't, worry, DK, Aunt Piper already told me, no laying any hands on her Mel, she'll blow me up."
Piper: "Damn straight,"
Mel: "Mom, like I told Wy and Chris, and throw in Dad, I'm done dating demons, I might be done dating in general."
Then most turned to look at Parker as if half expecting her to go into a fit of rage that her cousin was almost giving up dating, but all Parker did was look back at Mel, with no emotions in her light green eyes.
Parker: "What do we got?"
-New scene-
Everything was dark and black. The floor was slippery and she couldn't help but fall as she tried to run for her life. She didn't understand why this was happening to her. All she wanted to do was wake up. Because she knew deep down that's what this was, it had to be a dream nothing else made any sense. She turned to look back, her long light brown hair stopped her from seeing behind her, and right now she thanked god that it did.
A Voice: "You think you can run? Oh come on, Halliwell, you can't run, hell you know what I just made a mistake, you're not even a Halliwell, you're a second ass rate bitch! And I'm going to love when I gut you like a fish! Bitch, get back here now!"
She ran faster not seeing the rock that was in front of her she tripped and almost did a baseball dive; now as she looked up, she noticed she was at the manor. And what scared her the most was that her mother and father were entering the manor but not in their normal happy manner, there was something wrong, deadly wrong. There was anguish and a whole lot of wretchedness in their eyes. She could see her mother was crying what shocked her more was her father was doing the same, in all the years she knew her dad, he never cried, never, it wasn't that he didn't show emotion because he did, he just never had anything that was so sickening that made he want to cry. She got up from the sidewalk and walked to them.
Paige: Was holding onto Henry, trying her best to hold it all together, "Oh god," She couldn't though, "OH Henry," She cried and he pulled her to him, "I-I,"
Henry: Held onto her, trying with all his might not to cry anymore, not to let the tears fall, he didn't dare let her see him with tears in his eyes, he was supposed to be strong, but all he could do was just let the tears fall, "I know, Paige I know."
Paige: "Just lie to me, please, just tell me, I'm dreaming, that everything will be back to the way it was just a week ago, please I want to go back."
Henry: "It's going to be okay, I promise you babe, everything is going to be okay."
Paige: Sniffs and looks up back to him, "You're right; I'm going to kill that mother fucker."
Henry: "Paige,"
Paige: "No, let's go in, we have to, for the kids."
Henry: Stops her from going, "No, look at me," She does, "I'm not letting you go and kill that motherfucker, it isn't our fight."
Paige: "YOU CAN'T TELL ME IT'S NOT MY FIGHT! HE KILLED MY BABY!"
Henry: Pulls her close now, "I can't lose you too, please, just let me just keep you."
Paige: Could hear the fear, and the sorrow in his voice, "Let's just go inside."
Henry: Nods, "For the kids."
Paige: Looks into his eyes, "I love you."
Henry: "I love you too."
She now saw as they entered the room that the manor was filled with grieving people and she couldn't help, but see people she hadn't seen in years. From ex boyfriends, to friends from high school, god they made her feel old. She looked around the room again, and she found her sister and brother standing around, both weren't talking to another, both weren't even looking at each other.
Mel: Walks up to them, "Hey,"
Emma: "Hey,"
Hank: "I'm going to go see what's talking them so long."
He walks away, and Emma looks back at him, pained.
Emma: Talking to Mel, but looking at Parker and Pacey, "I never knew this before."
Mel: "What?"
Emma: "She was the glue," She turns to look at Mel, "She was like a sister to Parker and Pacey, she was always down to going with them anywhere." She cries a little, "God, I never really knew her, I guess, no one really does, I mean, me, Silver, and Ryan, we moved away, and yea we come around, but, we don't really know them. We don't know anything about our younger siblings, and god, now that she's gone, I can't but feel, like I lost myself, even though I never knew it, she and I were one."
Nix kept walking and she saw Lex or at least the back of his head, she ran to him now knowing he'd be able to explain to her what was happening. But as she walked over to him, and she saw that he had tears in his eyes, her heart broke.
Nix: "LEX? Hey, what's wrong? Its me, Nix!"
Lex: Looking down at something, "I miss you so much."
Nix: Looked at his gaze, and now she ate her own words, she was staring at herself in a coffin, "No, No."
Lex: Took out a ring and put it on her finger, "I was going to ask you to marry me again," He slid it down her finger, "I will never love another like I love you."
Roderick: "So sad, little Non-Halliwell," He looks straight at her, and scares her a lot, "Boo!"
Nix: Jumped up, almost screamed, but thank god that her screams were caught in her throat, she took in deep patches of air. "DAMN IT! I thought I was over this. DAMN IT!"
-New scene-
Linn was looking around watching as Chris's class was taking a test. She couldn't help but smile, he looked so cute in his black robes his hair just a little longer than normal a kind smile on his face, yet a stern look in his eyes. Then she bit down on her lip, she wasn't supposed to see him like that. He was like her brother-in-law they weren't supposed to see each other like that. Besides, she thought, he must have been going out with some hot teacher that kept walking into his room, almost every part of the day.
A Voice: "You know, if you keep staring, you're going to break your eyes." Linn looked up and saw her sister, staring down at her, her dark blue eyes held a sparkle in them, and she had her dark blonde hair down this time. "Why you here Linn?"
Linn: Shook her head, she knew this was stupid, coming to Magic school where her sister worked, and trying to take Chris demon hunting with her. She didn't need her older sister on her ass, she looked back at her with a kind smile, and bluffing brown eyes, "Oh you know B, I'm just, here for the free disgusting coffee that you teachers get."
B: Took a seat next to her little sister, knowing damn well that she was lying, "Oh come on Linn, I know you so don't lie."
Linn: "Fine," Her eyes went back to look at Chris, "I'm waiting for Chris."
B: "Going to go on that date?"
Linn: Rolled her eyes, she was so spending too much time with Halliwells; she was now using their attitude problems as her own, "Funny."
B: Sighing and sitting back in her chair, "Hey I asked, right?"
Linn: Nods, "We're just going to hang, you know."
B: "Then you won't mind if I join you," Trying to push her sister into telling her the truth, "Right?"
Linn: "Bian… Don't be a buzz kill."
Bian…: Laughs, and Linn almost records the sound in her mind, its been a long time, since she heard her older sister laugh, without pain in her blue eyes, "You're not funny."
Linn: "The sad part is you think you are."
Bian…: "I don't think it I know it!" Linn, shook her head, "L, I'm going to ask you something, and yea I know I shouldn't do this, because I should just move on, like mom told me too, but I can't no matter how much I try, I'm still, hoping—" She let the last part hang in the air, and Linn looked down at the mug, she knew exactly what her sister was about to ask her, "How's Wyatt?"
Linn: Looks up now, and can see the tears that she knows damn well aren't going to fall from her older sister's eyes, they made them sparkle and shine, "He's doing better, a lot better." She held her sister's hand, "How about you?"
Bian…: Smiles just a little, though, her eyes show how much it pains her to do so, "I'm getting better, so stop worrying." She gets up to leave.
Linn: "He misses you, like crazy," Bian… stopped walking just a little, "He asked for you." Her sister turns.
Bian…: Shock in her voice, "He did?"
Linn: Nods and walks up to her now, "He didn't in so many words, but B I can see it in his eyes, he's just not the same."
Bian…: "Then maybe he should have thought about that, before he left me for the army, maybe he should have saw me back then." She walked away, she knew she was being stubborn, but she couldn't handle seeing Wyatt right now, she'd lose her mind with both fear and happiness. Fear because she still loved him and didn't want to lose him, and happiness because she would always love him and nothing would ever change that.
Chris: Walks up to Linn and puts his arm over her shoulder and pulls her close to him, she looks up at his sea-green eyes that he got from his father, "I've tried Linn, with both of them."
Linn: "They miss each other, why do they have to be soooo stupid?"
Chris: Shrugs his shoulders, "Don't know, Linn, but I promise you one thing."
Linn: "They're going to get back together, even if I have to bring in the big guns."
Chris: "Think Parker would be enough?"
Linn: A stern look in her eyes, "I know it!"
-New scene-
Hank was staring down at Emily; both had fallen asleep in his bed. Fully clothed, he tucked her hair behind her ear, so he could see her better, he couldn't believe that right now, he was beyond happy, he just couldn't figure out why, he was this happy. It didn't matter right now all that did was the fact that she made his world shine a lot brighter by just being there.
Emily: Opens her eyes, and looks into his brown eyes that held a hint of gold in them, "I think its cute you're so happy I'm around." She smiles as he blushes, she didn't know how she had gotten so lucky, Halliwell men, weren't like any other males out in the world, they were kind, gentle, full of joy, and all of them protected to a point. But what made them all different was they had one thing that the others did not, for Wyatt he had a heart so big that he could fit the whole world in it, but the most important part was, that his big heart even though it was huge, it was at that second, wounded, but she knew not beyond repair. Ryan was the same in his own way, he was sweet, and kind and out of all the males in his family he was the most in touch with his romantic side. Chris on the other hand was rough around the edges, but he held a sweetheart interior that was worth getting into. Pacey had a bond that was like no other, when he dated someone, he made them feel like when the room was packed with other attractive women, that she was the most attractive of them all, and he had a way with words, that the boy could write poetry if he tried. But out of all of them Hank was in her mind the best, he has soft and hardheaded, like all other Halliwell males, but his jokes could wipe out the rain if he told it a joke and you could see when he was in love, because his eyes would almost change color, to a lighter brown that would have hints of gold in them, making his eyes sparkle, "Henry, I really like you."
Hank: Though he would never admit it to her, he loved how his name sounded as she said it, "Oh yea?"
Emily: "I'm glad Parker talked me into this, I would have never known you felt the same."
Hank: Now looks almost confused, "Huh?"
Emily: "Well, don't laugh."
Hank: "I could never laugh at anything that leaves your lips, only if you wanted me to."
Emily: Was touched again, he smiles down at her and sends her a wink, and she pulls him to her, "I liked you since we were in high school."
Hank: Shook his head, "See this is why, I knew that Parker should have been a cupid at the age of one."
Emily: "She was, you just didn't know it."
Hank: "Well prepare to get your world rocked."
Emily: Now it was her turn to look confused, "Why?"
Hank: "Because, I liked you back then too, it was just, you were always with some loser, I lost my nerve."
Emily: Puts her arms around his neck, and he holds her close to him, "Me too!"
Both laugh, at how they could have had this sweet love, instead of all those painful relationships that all ended the same.
Hank: "God I love Parker right now."
Emily: Laughs, "Me too."
They start to kiss. Both thanking Parker, she had done them a huge favor and both were glad she had meddled with them.
-New scene-
Pacey was looking at his Grandfathers, with solemn faces, he didn't know how he had ended up in front of them. Normally if he was having problems with his flash backs he'd go over to Chris's room and talk it out with him. But his cousin was at work. And Wyatt was well, right now he had no idea were the hell Wyatt was, but one thing was for sure he wasn't at work. So he did know how he ended up here, he just didn't understand why both of them were looking at him like he shouldn't have been there.
Sam: Looked at Pacey, "So what brings you here Pace?"
Victor: "Has to be the free beer."
Pacey: Put his hand on the back of his neck, "No, at least not yet," He looked up to both of them, seeing again their normal smiles, "Okay, so I'm here because I'm having a problem, see, now that Parker's thinking that it's a great idea to leave her hair, dark brown—…"
Victor: "She left her hair, like Valentines?"
Pacey: "Yea,"
Sam: "She looks the same?"
Pacey: "Yea, but that's not—…"
Victor: Looking at Sam, "Wonder what, Phoebe's thinking?"
Sam: "Coop can't be that happy about it."
Pacey: Trying to get back their attention, "Hey, can we get back to—…"
Victor: "I told them to just tell her, it would be a lot easier."
Sam: Shaking his head, "They're not going to do that, they can't even say Parker without flashing back to Valentine, why do you think Phoebe and the other sisters sometimes call her Paige?"
Victor: "She deserves to know."
Sam: "I couldn't agree more Vic, but they have to think about Ryan."
Victor: "He isn't the same man Sam, he's a lot better."
Sam: "What you mean is, he has a heart, but believe me, that heart is a lot weaker than the other Ryan's."
Victor: "But he should still know."
Sam: "But it will only hurt him."
Pacey: Stood up, now having enough of their banter, "THAT'S IT! Can we get back to me? I don't mean to sound self centered, but fuck, Parker's not having flash backs, and I don't ever think she will, Ryan is good and he isn't having to deal with his evil self. You know who is? ME! So let's get down to the fact that you two are going to have to be my alibi for the whole day, okay if the parents asked I was with you talking things out."
Victor: Didn't like that one bit, "Where are you really going to be?"
Pacey: "Around, I just have to get away for the day, I need to think and not be around anyone from this time."
Sam: Could see it in his eyes, Pacey really needed time to get away from everyone, "Okay, we'll say that you're with us."
Pacey: "Thanks."
Victor: "Pacey," He looks up to his grandfather knowing he'd be the one that would be the hardest to sway to doing this favor for him, "We will talk afterwards, I know you're memories are the reason for this 'break' but me and you need to sit down and talk, I don't like how the sisters are making you keep your distance from Parker. When you two were born to be side by side, that's why you were born at the same second, you're souls are joined as one, and without the other, bad things tend to happen."
Pacey: Smiles just a little, his Grandfather Victor went from hating Sam, to owning a home with the man, from hating and misunderstanding magic to understanding it more than an elder, to distant to so damn close it was scary, "You have my word." But that didn't mean he'd change his grandfather Victor in fact he was really glad that his Grandfather became this man, because this man, was a man Pacey wanted his kids to look up to, because he himself already did.
-New scene-
Wyatt was looking to Jared's eyes, he could see the fear in the younger man's eyes, and he smirked he liked it, to make a man feel so weak, with his brotherly eyes.
Jared: Cleared his throat, he hated when he was left alone with Wyatt, why couldn't it have been Chris who he had to deal with, or even Leo? He could deal with both, though Chris would never cop to it, he and his father were a lot alike, "So,"
Wyatt: Moving his head to the side, "Yea?"
Jared: He sighed, and stopped playing this secret game of 'the eye staring game/no blinking', "Look, let's just talk about why I'm here."
Wyatt: Acting dumb, "Why's that?"
Jared: "Look, Wyatt, let's talk man to man, you have no fucking reason to not let Mel remember me, hell the only thing you do have to worry is the fact she might never remember anything, wouldn't you have her remember me? I mean, so I moved away, so I changed schools and stopped being her best friend when we were eight, but that doesn't change the fact that it wasn't my fault." Trying to get his point across, "And just to tell you, it was in fact the Elder's fault that my dad had to move us, so I'm sorry I left, but I'm back now, and I really want to have my best friend back."
Wyatt: "The position of her best friend has been taken."
Jared: "I know, but I don't want to replace Vincent, I just want to go back to my spot."
Wyatt: He knew that was a reasonable argument, but he was hardheaded, "No,"
Jared: "You speak for her? Or are you just talking for you?"
Wyatt: "Just leave her alone! She can't deal with losing another person."
He orbed out leaving a very shocked Jared, he had never heard that much of emotion in Wyatt's voice.
-New scene-
Roderick was staring at a pot; he was watching the Halliwells, each of them busy with their own crap. And he couldn't help but love the fact that he was going to send them another curve ball.
A Voice: "You know, you're doing great, wonderful even, making him proud."
Roderick: Smiles and looks up, to the shadows, "You think?"
A Voice: "Come, Roderick, we have Halliwells, to get rid of."
Roderick: "Yes, we do."
-x-x-x-
Things happen but we don't really know why, Once more you tell those lies to me, Why can't you just be straight up with honesty? (Honesty...)Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears I'm not feeling this situation.

Ext. San Francisco. Various shots of the city the last one stops to show a home that in many ways looks like the manor but was a lot different, in its own right, its walls were tan wood color, and had a garden in front of it, with a brick fence around it. Underlined by the song: 'Right as Rain' by Adele.
-New scene-
Damian looked down at his phone right now; he was sitting at his kitchen table. Supposed to be eating his breakfast, but all he could think about was the fact that Parker hadn't picked up her phone. Maybe she was busy but something told him that it was something else he just didn't know what yet.
Lex: Walked into the room with a glass of milk, "What are you thinking about doorknob?"
Damian: Shaking his head at his younger brother, "Funny Lex, really."
Derek: Looking over at his oldest, "What's wrong Angel? You're not eating."
Eva: Throwing her oldest a smile, "Your father finally cooked bad didn't he?"
Damian: Chuckles, "Not yet mom, but I have a feeling he will real soon." Sending her a wink at the end of it, he did now though turn to his little sister, she was looking back at him with a hardened expression in her blue eyes, "What's with you Haz? You and Pace getting really close?"
Lex: Sitting down, next to his mother, "Too close."
Hazel: Doesn't lighten her look, "We're just friends, believe me, he's in love with someone else and me, well let's just say I'm waiting."
Lex: Turned to look at his twin now confused, "Waiting?"
Hazel: Trying to change the subject in a way, "How's Parker?"
Damian: Ignoring the question best he could, "Can you pass, me the syrup?"
Eva: Giving it to him but she knew that he had just dodged the question, "Here honey,"
Damian: "Thanks mom,"
Hazel sighed and looked down to her hands, right now, she hated her powers, she saw two options, for Parker, she knew something was up with Parker, a key factor that didn't even have to do with her powers, was the girl wasn't here right now trying to steal her food, and the sad part was, she missed the young cupid, maybe it was because she had a way with her brothers and could make them both smile and laugh more, but Parker could take anyone's worries away, and make it seem like nothing was going to go wrong, even though deep down, it most likely would. They all looked up when they felt someone teleporting into the room. Though, they did not expect it to be Nix.
Lex: "Nix?"
Nix: "Hey, I hope I'm not interrupting anything," They could all see that she looked quite a mess, "I could go if I am."
Derek: "Nix, don't be crazy you're not interrupting anything, now sit down, eat some pancakes, and tell us why you graced us with your presence."
Nix took a seat next to Hazel, though most but Hazel thought of it because she and Lex were exes. But right now all Nix was thinking about wasn't whom she was dating; it had something more to do with her dream.
Nix: "I just need to have a word with Haz, Uncle Derek, if you don't mind."
Eva: "Honey you can borrow her anytime you'd like."
Hazel: "See I'm for sale." She could see that her friend could use a laugh, but Nix didn't laugh or smile, "We can talk over there."
Nix nods and they both walked away.
Lex: "What the hell was that about?"
-New scene-
All the men were watching the Television, Leo was yelling at the screen, while Henry and Coop high-fived each other.
Leo: "BULLSHIT! That was so fucking cheating! Damn it! The REF is fucking blind!"
Coop: Smiling bigger than ever, "Still counts, Leo old boy."
Andy: Shook his head, "This is a pretty stupid bet, I'm telling you again, Leo call it off."
Leo: "NEVER! They're going to come back, I know it!"
Henry: Nodding to Andy, "Oh let them be, Andy, its just a game."
Andy: Shakes his head, "Oh I know it's just a game, but it's a game that's going to get Leo killed by Piper."
Leo: "Its not like he's a cop again Andy, all we're betting is that if stupid team loses—…" He looks back at the TV as his team scores, "Like they're not, we do the other's job, besides, they're not going to lose!"
Coop: Smiling, sitting back, "Keep telling yourself that, Leo, you damn well know they are."
Henry: Laughs more, as Coop's team scores, "Aw this is getting good,"
The sister's walk into the room, as they follow Parker Mel and Gabriel, Parker stopped walking and turned to look at Gabriel.
Parker: "Okay, explain."
Gabriel: Was staring at her hair, now, "Uhm, DK, why's your hair, dark?"
Parker: Sighed, "I rather we not talk about it, what demons do you need gone now?"
Gabriel: "Just some stupid demons."
Coop: Looks up as he heard that voice and in seconds he knew who it was, "Hunter what are you doing standing anywhere near my angel?"
Parker: Rolls her eyes, "Dad not now."
Mel: "Uhm, how dumb?" They all looked at her, "Well, I mean, are you just saying that to soften the begging? OR are you being serious?"
Parker: Turned to her older cousin, "Mel, let me give you some advice, I know, I'm no one that should ever give advice, but for what I'm about to say, I do in fact know what I'm talking about." Mel nods, "Good, see Gabriel Hunter, he always lies, every single second of everyday, whether it is to help or protect or just because he doesn't want to get busted, or because he doesn't want to ask," Gabriel rolls her eyes, "Another thing, Gabriel never-never, begs, not for anything, he can be bleeding out and is seconds away from death and he will never beg Hank to heal him, nor would he even think to ask."
Gabriel: "I'm not that bad."
Parker: "Another thing, he hates-hates! When you call him Hunter, see he's a demon from the shadows, a Hunter, but he hates being known as one, because his father was a Hunter, and believe me, that man, could hunt, funny story, the way me and Gab met, wasn't like up here, it was in fact in a cell, his dad, had stolen him from his mother, and well he kidnapped me because he wanted me and Gab to mate, one thing led to another…"
Gabriel: "And a two year relationship later, we're just friends."
Mel: "You live an interesting life."
Parker: "Well what can I say? I'm not one to be known as boring."
Gabriel: "That's for sure."
Mel: Looks down to the book again, "So, this demon."
Gabriel: "So I lied," He shrugs, "And he lives near fire and can only be wiped out by ice,"
Parker: Looks up now and a smile spreads on her face, "Well, you know, maybe we might be able to help."
-New scene-
Hazel was looking at Nix, and she could read the worry in her friend's eyes.
Nix: She was holding herself, as if that would keep her solid, but she doubted that it would work for long time, and right now, she didn't know if she was going to feel like this for a while or forever, "I need help, your help."
Hazel: Nods.
Nix: "I've been having dreams about Roderick, I don't understand them."
Hazel: Now understanding, "You need my help."
Nix: "You're the only one I could turn to."
Hazel: "I'll do whatever I can for you, Nix."
Nix: "Hazel you know I love you like a sister."
Lex: "You just better hope not like her sister." Both turn to look at him; he had worry in his eyes, and fear on his mind, "What's wrong?" Went to open her mouth, "And Nix, don't even think about lying to me, you and me are like this." Crossing his index and middle finger together, "So please, think before you lie."
Nix: Took in some air, and looked into his blue eyes, that she loved so much, and she hated him right now, she hated how much she could see and read the love in them, "I'm dreaming about Roderick, and I asked Hazel to help me."
Lex: "Oh," He looked hurt for some reason, "Okay, well I'll leave you too it."
Nix: He went to leave and Nix grabbed his arm, "She has nightmares, because of her powers and you don't Lex, and I will love you forever, but babe, you can't help me right now."
Lex: Now nods and holds her hand, and gives it a small kiss, "I love you too." He looks at his twin, "Please Haz, do what you can."
Hazel: "She's my best friend, Lex, I wouldn't dare let anything happen to her," She looks at Nix now, shearing a smile with her, "Besides, we're like sisters to each other, we should treat each other a lot like it."
Nix: "I couldn't agree more."
-New scene-
Pacey was walking around a cabin he had a key, and was looking around as he could see that nothing had changed. Everything in the cabin was the same, as it had been in the other future. The one where Ryan was evil. He couldn't change anything. This must have been part of his mindset now, he owned things from kingdom come, up to art, he just couldn't get rid of anything. He felt that if he held onto the things that maybe just maybe, he could feel her with him, and that's all he wanted right now, was to be able to hold someone and call them, his. But as he looked around to his cabin from the other reality he couldn't help but feel just a little stupid. He knew he should have been with Parker, not there looking at what was, and not trying to live with the can be.
-New scene-
Jared was cleaning things at P3 and trying to think about what the hell he learned about his little meeting with Wyatt, one that the man hadn't changed at all, well he was more into watching those around his baby sister, two the man could use a shave, three that he might never be able to be with his best friend. But what angered him the most had to be the fact that a he wasn't evil, he didn't do stupid things, he was responsible, he went to school even though he didn't have to. He was a good man, damn Wyatt for thinking otherwise. But what he didn't understand, nor could he, was that's why Wyatt had made him keep away from Mel, because he was a good man.
-New scene-
Gabriel, Mel, and Parker were up in the attic, though both Mel and him were wondering, why Parker had pulled them away from the parents, not that he minded the farther away from Coop the better, that man did not like Gabriel very much, might have to do with the fact that when he and Parker had dated they used to ditch a lot of school, so much Parker almost didn't graduate high school.
Mel: "Why are we up here?"
Parker: "Can you two keep a secret?"
Gabriel: "Depends on the secret."
Mel: "Depends who's asking me about it."
Parker: "I have been trying to invent a new potion, I know that's risky, but I think that I might have been successful."
Mel: "What kind of potion?"
Parker: "An element potion."
Gabriel: He liked this a lot, "Keep talking."
Parker: "I'm not sure if it works, and I know that it's missing something, but I do know where I can get it."
Mel: "Okay,"
Parker: "I just need one little thing from you two."
Gabriel: "What?"
Parker: "The heart of a lion."
Gabriel: As if she hadn't asked him for a miracle, "Oh just a heart?"
Mel: "Have you lost your mind?"
Parker: "Yes, but that's not the point."
Gabriel: "Question,"
Parker: "Yes?"
Gabriel: "Uhm, when me and Mel go get this lion heart, what are you going to be doing?"
Parker: "Getting the other ingredient."
Mel: "Which is?"
Parker: "If I told you, you wouldn't be happy."
Gabriel: "Question again,"
Parker: "Yea?"
Gabriel: "Is it going to work?"
Parker: "Yea,"
Mel: "Just make sure someone can heal me in case I get killed."
Parker: "Will do,"
Gabriel: "Why do I get the feeling that, if Pacey was here, you would have sent him and me?"
Parker: "Because I would have."
Mel: "Any ideas where the hell we can find a lion?"
Gabriel: "The zoo."
Mel: "And look at that, it's closed today."
Parker: "Wow," They both give a dry look at shimmer out, "Have fun, I know I will." She hearts out.
-New scene-
Chris and Linn were in Chris's classroom, both working on a chart and map. Both working a lot better with neither talking Linn was charting a point on the map, and Chris was trying to finish the chart. Both reached for the pen and their hands touched, both snapped back as if both were shocked because of the touch.
Chris/Linn: "Sorry,"
Chris: Looks back at her, "You don't have to be."
Linn: "You can use it, I'll wait."
Chris: "Are you sure?"
Linn: "Yea, go ahead."
Chris: "Thanks," He goes to work on his chart, "So how's job hunting?"
Linn: "Not working, I had to stop looking, because Parker handed me a lot of elves, I don't think she's into helping people right now." She looks at his tongue that sticks out of his mouth as he gets to work, she smiles just a little and can't help but think he looks so cute, "How is she?"
Chris: Looks up to her now, "Parker?" She nods, "Oh she's okay, though she's been pushing us away."
Linn: "How do you figure?"
Chris: He smiles just a little, "Don't let her find out I told you okay?" She nods yet again, "Well, she told Elise she had work and school, and she told my mom she had work with Elise, she told Aunt Prue that she had school and she told Emily she had work. Pretty much if they didn't talk to each other she'd be great!"
Linn: "And then?"
Chris: "Aunt Prue talked to my mom, and Emily pretty much almost lives in the manor with Hank those two are always together."
Linn: "Oh wow,"
Chris: "Yea,"
Linn: "Can you imagine that? Never leaving someone's side?"
Chris: Looking into her eyes, "Staying with her forever,"
Linn: Staring back at him, "Knowing that he only loves you,"
Chris: "That'd be,"
Linn: "Really,"
Both: "Wonderful."
Hank with Emily orbed into the room, they both could see that they had orbed into a situation.
Chris: Turns away from Linn, thanking god that his little cousin came when he did, "Hey, what are you doing here?" Or he might not have been able to stop himself from grabbing her in a passionate kiss.
Emily: "We came to see if you two wanted to come and eat with us."
Linn: "Oh yea, hungry, we were just talking about food."
Chris: "Yea we were," Both walked over and grabbed their coats, "So what are we eating?"
Linn: "I'm good for anything."
Hank and Emily shared a look.
Hank: Smiling, "I have the perfect idea." Hank knew one thing, his cousin was just about to get his dream night, even if he didn't know it.
-New scene-
Mel was walking through an animal morgue; Gabriel was with her, looking around hoping not to run into any guard or anything like that.
Mel: "Did you and Parker, ever do stupid shit like this?"
Gabriel: "Oh yea,"
Mel: "Really?"
Gabriel: "We just never went to places like this,"
Mel: "So, why did you guys break up?"
Gabriel: "We just pulled apart, back then I was fighting with the fact that I was a demon and Parker was just dealing with a lot, back then she got her memories from when Wyatt was evil, so I guess, we just pulled well apart."
Mel: "Do you miss her?"
Gabriel: "She's with Damian."
Mel: "I didn't ask that."
Gabriel: "I have one belief in life, that there isn't anyone like Parker, and once you've dated her, that's it, you don't get a second chance, that's just who Parker is, I guess it's the cupid in her, she doesn't really care about her love life as long as everyone else's is good."
Mel: "So, do you really think her and Damian are going to ever get married?"
Gabriel: "To tell you the truth, I do, I just hope that neither of them fuck it up."
Mel: "Do you think—…" She stopped talking as they find a lion, dead, and already cut open, "Wow, look at its heart."
Gabriel: Pulls out an athame, "You want to cut it out of should I?"
Mel: "You do it, I don't do cut."
Gabriel shakes his head and gets to work.
-New scene-
Wyatt orbed into the graveyard, he knew he wasn't supposed to be here at all. His mother had literally banned him from this place but his talk with Jared had left him with a feeling deep in the pit of his stomach, he didn't know what he was going to do, he couldn't just keep Mel away from Jared, just because of a little fear that made no sense.
Wyatt: Looked down at the gravestone, and read it, 'Luke Leo-Chris Hunter-Halliwell'. "Hey son," He took in some air, fighting not to tear up, he didn't have the time to fall to pieces, and what he hated the most, was the fact that he had no time, "I hope everything is okay with you, down here, everything is going to get better I can just feel it, I can see that there's a hill up ahead, but I know we'll get through it, us Halliwells always do." He crouched down and touched the stone, wishing that he could still hold his son, but he closes his eyes and he just lets some tears through, "I know, that you have to be angry with me, I just couldn't do it, I orbed to your mommy's, class the other day, I stood outside her door, and I wanted to walk through, I wanted to open that door, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, I know that it must piss you off that daddy was so stupid." he wipes the tears from his eyes, "I just hate myself every day, because I lost your mommy, out of my own stupidity, not because of you, and I wish every day, that I didn't join the army, I wish that I would have just looked at your mother and that would have been enough, but it wasn't and I needed to leave, but I pray every day, that one day, daddy will be strong and powerful enough to walk through that door, to ask your mommy to forgive me, but until that day, bud I just hope you're okay and I just pray you're not that mad at me."
Pacey: "He doesn't hate you Wyatt, he could never hate you, you're his father Wyatt, you're the best father he could ever ask for."
Wyatt: Stands up and looks at Pacey, "What are you doing here?"
Pacey: "Went around too visit some friends, and I just wanted to come around and say hi to Luke, miss little Blondie like crazy sometimes."
Wyatt: "What do you miss most?"
Pacey: "Whenever me and Parker were awake looking through the book, the little guy would run into the room, and he would just sit there, watching us, and sometimes, we'd teach him spells, play 'ring around the trucks,' you know kid stuff."
Wyatt: "Oh,"
Pacey: Looks at him as he read his older cousin's mind, "You can't not let Mel get to know Jared; just because you fear that Mel's going to lose him, death comes with life,"
Wyatt: "But, she's been through hell."
Pacey: "Believe me, Wyatt, you don't want to be in the way of her remembering someone like Jared, I know that when he was with her, she smiled more."
Wyatt: "I know, that, but, look what happened to Vincent, what happened to Luke, anyone around us is always in danger."
Pacey: "What that means, man, isn't that we should block the world out, man, it means, that we hold the ones we love closer, know the ends near, but we don't try and keep ourselves away, we need to stick together, we need to forget about the past, and just let it take us away with it. We need to move on, but the only way we can do that, is if, we do it together."
-New scene-
Parker hearted up to Elderland. She noticed the place was packed with a bunch of Elders, they all turned to look back at her, they could tell she wasn't meant to be there, she wasn't elder nor half nor whitelighter or half, she was a cupid and, cupids weren't supposed to there, they could go, but Halliwell cupids weren't meant there. Well mostly Parker wasn't supposed to be there, they didn't need another result of her visit when she learned that Max was going to become one, that day, hell that week, the Elders really did think that the world was going to end, and she'd be the one to do it!
Parker: Stuck her hand in her pocket, feeling the bottle in her hands, it made her feel stronger, and it made them look at her with fear, she was one Halliwell you couldn't afford to piss off, "Hi,"
Elder: "What is she doing here?"
Elder: "What's in her pocket?"
Elder: "What's going on?"
Elder: "Why is she here?"
Elder: "Oh, who made her angry now?"
Elder: "Where's Elder Max?"
Parker couldn't help but like the fact that they were literally shitting bricks because of her.
Elder: He had dark skin, was bald with light brown eyes, he walked to her. "My name is John," His eyes shined just a little, he noticed how she didn't change at all, she looked a lot like Valentine than he thought she could ever, "Why is it you've come child?"
Parker: "There's a demon,"
John: "Which one?" He started to walk, "Let's walk,"
Parker: Follows his lead, they walk pass the other Elders to a corner of where not many Elders are around, "A friend of mine, he asked for my help to get rid of—…"
John: "Gabriel, yes I know him."
Parker: "I'm making a potion."
John: "And you need some of my blood?" She nods, "By all means," He cuts his palm and places it above the bottle, his eyes meet hers, "Tell me, why is it you came here for my blood when your older cousin is half elder?"
Parker: "I needed full Elder, just to be on the safe side."
John: "I see," He looks down at his blood as it goes into the bottle, "Tell me, what are you going to do now?"
Parker: Held the bottle, "About what?"
John: "The demon that kills you, and the fact that Damian becomes the king of evil?"
Parker: Looks up to his eyes, shocked, "What?"
John: "Don't try and hide it, I'm an Elder we see it all."
Parker: Sighs, "I don't know what I'm going to do, and right now I don't want to think about it."
John: "You need to let him go."
Parker: Fighting with her emotions, "How about you drop it."
John: "I would, but you need to start today."
Parker: "I just told myself that, it doesn't have to be today," She looks away from him, "Besides I don't even know where to start."
John: "You do, you just wish it wasn't true," he holds her hand, "You must break his heart, so you won't have to lie to him," She closes the bottle, and he takes his hand back, "You must pull yourself way from him, to save him."
Parker: She goes to leave, "No I won't."
John: "But that's the thing, Parker, you know you must, and even though you know this, you won't, you don't want to, but I have something to tell you," She stops and turns to look back at him, fear in her eyes, and even hatred, there was a ton of it in her eyes right now, "You'll do it anyways, you'll break his heart, to save him, love be damned, being a cupid be damned, you know it, everything that you've learned from the other reality shows you this, you must pull yourself away from him, from everyone, and you must, save him, even if it does make your relationship obsolete, the world matters more, and with your death, the world is doomed, with him turning evil the world is doomed, only you can save him, but you must pull away first to even be able to save him." He looks at her with sadness in his eyes, "Its up to you, now Parker, the ball is in your court, and you have seen the enemy's playbook, you know everything, that shall help you, but only you can change anything, only you ever can."
-New scene-
Hazel was sitting on her bed cross-legged, right in front of Nix. Nix had her eyes closed trying to clear mind, but it wasn't working for her, she almost thought that maybe she was broken, but when she opened her eyes to tell Hazel that this was stupid and wasn't even working, she noticed, where she was, it was dark, yet she didn't feel scared, she almost felt whole.
Nix: "This isn't odd, at all," She rolled her eyes, and turned left because she heard a noise, though the noise sounded eerily familiar, "Lex?" He was standing, in front of a younger Nix, she had shorter hair, and it was dyed with hints of yellow and brown, "Oh god I don't need this now!"
Lex: "So,"
Nix: "So,"
Lex: "Marry me,"
Nix: "I'll get right on that."
Lex: "I'm not kidding, Nix, marry me." He got down on his knee and opened a box, a ring in it, "I know its simple, and I can't buy you much, but I can give you love, I have a whole lot of it."
Nix: "Lex,"
Lex: "Say yes,"
Nix: "I can't,"
Lex: He stood up, now seeing himself a fool, "I thought you'd say that." He looks back at her almost angry, "Why do you do this to me? Do you like when I hurt? Is that it Nix you love it when I'm in pain!"
Nix: "You don't understand, this isn't right, I mean, Luke just died, I can't just go home and tell them I'm getting married."
Lex: "No! Nix if Luke wasn't dead, you'd find some other reason to say no, I know you; just tell me you don't love me!" She goes to open her mouth, "No, Nix I'm tired of waiting, don't let the door, hit you on your ass, when you leave, or better yet, tell everyone I said bye." He threw a potion on the ground.
Nix: Tears falling down her eyes, "But I love you, I'm just not ready,"
Nix's eyes opened huge and she gasped for air, everything hurt, she couldn't stop the tears from leaving her eyes.
Hazel: "What did you see?" Nix looks up to her, "Nix, what did you see?"
Nix: "Him leaving,"
Hazel: "Who?"
Nix: "Your brother," Hazel holds her, "I can't lose him again; I don't think I can lose him again."
Hazel: "Was it the past? Did you see the past?" She nods, "Look, I have a guess as to why this is happening to you," Nix looks up to her eyes, "You're meant to learn, Nix, don't make the same mistakes, don't do something stupid." Nix nods and stands up, "Where you going?"
Nix: "To make sure I don't lose him." She orbs out.
-New scene-
Chris was sitting next to Hank as his cousin was starring into Emily's eyes, really in love with her; she looked back at him with the same eyes. Chris looks back at Linn, both laugh. They had gone to 'Pipes' to eat and all his cousin and his girlfriend were doing was staring at each other in love.
Linn: Looks over to Chris, "You wanna go to the kitchen and bother people?"
Chris: Laughs.
Hank: "We're good."
Emily: "You two should go."
Chris and Linn walked out of their chairs and both laughed at Hank and Emily.
Jared: Walked up to them, "Oh thank god a Halliwell."
Chris: "What's up Jared?"
Jared: "A few of our guys didn't show we need someone to wash the plates."
Linn: "And seeing as we're here."
Jared: "Hey I'd do it myself but I have to go check on P3, your mom has me pulling double duty."
Chris: "It's not a problem, Hank and Emily are with us."
Jared: "Go get them, you're going to need all the help you can get."
Linn: "We'll do that."
They walked back and looked at their table, both Hank and Emily were nowhere in sight.
Chris: Looked angry, "Oh I'm going to kill them."
Linn: "No me first."
-New scene-
Mel was almost pacing, they had the heart, and now the only problem was the fact that Parker wasn't there.
Mel: "Where the hell is she?"
Gabriel: "Relax she does this all the time."
Mel: "Really?"
Gabriel: "No,"
Parker hearts into the room, she was shaken up, but as soon as she saw them, her brave mask was put on her face.
Mel: "Where you been?"
Parker: Holds up a bottle, "Getting the other part," She walks up to a pot, "It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, or as fun."
Mel: "What is it?"
Parker: Throws it into the pot, "You don't want to know," She turns to Gabriel, "Your part?"
Gabriel: Brings a brown paper bag, and cuts the bottom the heart falls out, "Can I just say…"
Parker: "You hate me?"
Gabriel: "Why do I feel like we're doing something black magicy?"
Parker: "We're not, and besides, if we were, my part cancels all the bad out."
Mel: "Now I really want to know what the hell was in that bottle that was blue."
Parker: She throws in some root and it explodes, "Elder blood." She starts filling bottles.
Gabriel: Laughs, "Oh good joke, DK, good joke," He stops laughing as she doesn't laugh back, "Shit Parker did you kill one?"
Parker: "No, he just helped me out."
Mel: "They never just help you out, they do something to make you know that them helping you, just sucks."
Parker: Hands them both a bottle, "Yep did that too."
Mel: Wanting to know what the elder did, "Well?"
Parker: hearts out.
Gabriel: "We follow," They shimmer out. Both find themselves in front of a cave; Parker is muttering things to herself, "So what was it? The thing that he made you think about?"
Parker: "I'd rather not talk about it."
Mel: "It can't be that bad, at least not worse than outing me in front of everyone I know, then calling me the Twice Cursed."
Gabriel: "And them repeatedly trying to harm my pretty face."
Parker: Parker's eyes darken, "Just lay off."
Demon: Walks out of the cave, "Oh what do I owe this pleasant surprise, Gabriel, what thy doing here?"
Gabriel: "Getting pay back you scum bag!"
Demon: Laughs and starts to shower them with energy balls, "Really? You and two little girls."
Mel: "Fuck you!"
Demon: "I don't fuck sluts!"
Parker: Hiding behind a rock, "You know I've never hated a demon that I just met."
Mel: "Really he just screams I'm going to piss you off."
Parker: "You know what, now I see it!"
Gabriel: "Can we deal with him before we talk about him?"
Both Girls: "Fine,"
Demon: He stops, and lets them stand up, "Bring it,"
Mel: Running at him, "Will do!"
The demon jumps out of the way of Mel's kick and throws her into a wall. Gabriel throws an energy ball but gets thrown at a wall.
Gabriel: "He's really starting to piss me off."
Mel: "Oh me too!"
Demon: "What are you going to do? Kill me, like that will ever work!"
Parker: "Ok here goes nothing."
They threw the potions at him. A small burst of ice formed, but soon it went away, leaving him standing there with a smirk on his face.
Gabriel: "Why didn't that work?"
Parker: "I don't know it should have."
Mel: "Well it didn't!"
Parker: "I can see that!"
Demon: "You can kill me, but that doesn't change the fact, that you're screwed honey, oh you're fucking screwed."
Parker: She walks closer to him, "See you in hell." Parker touched the demon and he froze solid and soon exploded into fire. They all dropped onto the floor, Parker just barely making it to the ground.
Mel: Looking back at Parker shocked, "Where the hell did that come from?"
Gabriel: Standing up as they all did the same, "I'll tell you where it didn't come from, the potion," Turing to Parker now, "What the hell is going on Parker!"
Parker: Not knowing what she's saying before the words leave her lips, "Before Janet, left, I had to read Future Grace's mind." She looks down now knowing, but its to late to stop she keeps going, "There I learned that, some bad things happen in the future, for her to have come, I learned that, I die, I learn that because of that, Damian goes evil, I also know, that Janet tried to curse me, maybe I was too strong, maybe she didn't want to, it just wasn't part of the plan, I don't know, but one thing I do know is that I got power from it, ice that's my power," She shakes her head, "I know I sound like I'm all over the place," Sighing at how lame she sounded, "But the thing is, I'm going through a lot right now, I mean I have to find the demon who killed me, and vanquish it, so I don't die, and Damian is never evil, but I don't know who he is, I just know what he does," She looks up, "That's not the worse part," She sighs, "The Elders told me, I have to that I will end things with Damian, that it's the only way to save him."
Mel: "What are you going to do? Are you going to break up with him? Are you going to stay with him?"
Parker: "I don't know yet."
They both looked shocked.
Parker: Looks back at them, "Just promise me, you won't tell anyone."
Gabriel: "You have my word."
Mel: "Ditto."
-New scene-
Nix and Lex where standing in Lex's room, he was giving her all of his attention, while she was pacing madly around it, but he wasn't about to stop her, and it didn't have to do with the fact she scared him to death when she paced but rather he thought she was kinda cute doing it.
Nix: "Hazel was trying to show me, how to calm myself after those dreams, and while it was working for a second, I was pulled into a memory of mine."
Lex: "Oh,"
Nix: "Before you left, you asked me to marry you, and I told you no."
Lex: Not wanting to talk about that, "Nix,"
Nix: "I just want you to know I'm sorry for being stupid I'm so sorry, because I know I hurt you."
Lex: He walks up to her, "I knew you weren't ready, I was just acting like a jackass."
Nix: "Really?"
Lex: Pulls her to him, "Nix, I'm not going to pretend that it didn't hurt, but now that we've spent years apart, now that I've seen how much pain you were in, I was in, that I want you, and I don't care if I'm the only one that knows it, I'd rather have you, than ever go through life without you, it hurts oh god it hurts when I'm not with you, and I just…" She kisses him, "Won't do it anymore."
Nix: blown away, "I love you."
Lex: "I know, and I love you too."

Chris: "Oh what you have in mind Hunter?"
Linn: "We murder Parker, and blame it on Hank and Emily."
Chris: "I love this plan." Both were laughing and Chris accidently sprayed Linn on her pants, she looks up at him in shock, "Oh shit, sorry Linn."
Linn: Nods her head, "Oh Chris," She splashes him in the face with soapy water, "Oops,"

Pacey: "You told me to come back and we'd talk."
Victor: "I say a lot of things, none of you ever listen," Pacey laughs and sits down, "Oh alright Pace, tell me, did you learn anything?"
Pacey: "I was going to tell you no, that I didn't, but I went to the grave, and I found Wyatt there, he was talking to Luke," Victor nods, "He was saying things about Jared and crap about he doesn't want Mel to get hurt, and I walked up to him and pretty much made him change his mind."
Victor: "So again what did you learn?"
Pacey: "I can't pull myself away from Parker when my memories get bad, she needs me, just like I need her, that's why I need you to hold something for me."
Victor: "Anything,"
Pacey: "These are keys to a cabin, that I bought just because it's the one I grew up in, the one me and Valentine grew up in," He hands them to Victor. "I need you to hold them for me."
Victor: Looking down at the keys, his grandson just handed him, "Are you sure?"
Pacey: "I want you, to make sure, that whenever I feel down, I don't go over there, I just stay with Parker, because you're right, Grandpa, when we're not together, bad things do happen."
Victor: "I promise."

Mel was with Wyatt they were at P3, she didn't understand why they were there, but as she saw Jared she figured it had something to do with him.
Mel: "What's going on?"
Wyatt: "I wasn't being fair to you both," He looks to both of them, "Mel you should get a chance to know this moron, he's a good guy, he once used to be your buddy, and I didn't know what I was thinking before, but now I know, I shouldn't let you not know a friend, because they left, when you were younger, and Jared, you're right, it wasn't your fault you moved, so I'm sorry, that I was being stupid, but if you do leave and hurt my sister like you did before, I will break you."
Jared: "Don't worry, Wy, I'm not leaving."
Wyatt: "Okay," He kisses Mel's cheek, "Be good."
Mel: "I will," He orbs out. Both turn to look at each other. "Where do we go from here? I mean I don't even remember you, and you know me."
Jared: "How about we start where we started as kids?" He extends his hand to her, holding a blue crayon, "Here's a blue crayon, I had an extra, and hi I'm Jared Black."
Mel: Shakes his hand taking the crayon, laughing just a littke, "Mel, Mel Halliwell."
They go to sit down. And Wyatt watches from the shadows.
Pacey: "You did well, Wyatt."
Wyatt: "You think?"
Pacey: "I know."

Hank and Emily were sitting in the living room; both had huge smiles on their faces. Chris and Linn orbed into the room. They did not look one bit happy, but that didn't stop Hank and Emily from laughing as they saw their friends, covered in water and soap.
Chris: "This isn't funny."
Linn: "I can't believe that you two, left us alone. Did you know we had to clean up the kitchen?"
Chris: "And what the hell? I know you heard me when I called you!"
Hank: "Ay, we had fun."
Chris: "That's not the point Hank."
Hank: Rolls his eyes, "Can I talk to you over there?"
Chris: "Fine, but we're not done yelling at you!"
They leave, and walk into the dining room.
Chris: Glares at his younger cousin, "Do you know how many fucking things I had to clean tonight!"
Hank: "No but you had help, Linn's and she's more into not breaking any plates unlike me, who is very into that game."
Chris: "That's not the point! Hank you left me, and Linn to clean all the fucking ditches! And you damn well know there was a ton!"
Hank: "Yea, but, if I remember, right, you two were dry, when we left, and now look at you, you're covered in soap."
Chris: "We have a soap fight."
Hank: He smiles now, "So you had fun then?"
Chris: "Yes, but…"
Hank: "Then, my plan worked."
Chris: "What do you mean?"
Hank: "Oh come on, Chris did you really think me and Emily left to just go sleep?"
Chris: "No buy more con—…"
Hank: "You had fun, now its up to you two, to start having fun on your own."
Chris: Shakes his head, "Thanks Hank, but next time you leave me, I'm going to kill you!"
Hank: "I got it, C², don't worry, I understand!"
Linn glares at Emily, who is still smiling.
Emily: "Let me just ask you one thing, and then you can yell up a storm."
Linn: "Fine,"
Emily: "Did you have fun?"
Linn: "We were working our ass off! Washing those fucking dishes."
Emily: "You didn't answer my question, did you have fun?"
Linn: "Yea, me and Chris haven't had that much fun, since, Luke."
Emily: "Well, then, you can pay me next time."
Linn: Sat on top of her, "Shut up."
Emily: "You're welcome!"
-New scene-
Parker was sitting at the top of Damian's brick fence that surrounded his house that was an old style home but an amazing view of both the manor and San Francisco. She was across the street from the manor and was looking at her hands with pain and anger in her light green eyes. She glanced around the block, wondering if he'd show up. This was one of the reasons she was about to go through with this. She didn't want to no matter how much she knew this was right. She didn't want to be right, she wanted to be wrong, she wanted to do the wrong thing at that very second but she knew she had to do what she was going to do. No matter how much it would hurt, she had to it.
Damian: Walked up to her, "You look like you're going to kill someone."
Parker: Looked back to him, "I might," She didn't smile back even though he threw her his famous smile, she couldn't smile back, "Damian, you need to sit down."
Damian: Looks fearful, his smile leaves but he sits down, "Is everything okay?"
Parker: Looking down to her hands, "No,"
Damian: Taking her hands in his but she quickly pulls them out of his, "Park?"
Parker: Looking away from him and to the manor, to anything really but not his face, "I've had some time to think about this, to think it through. And to tell you the truth at first I wasn't sure I was going to go through with it. I thought it to be too painful."
Damian: Not understanding her, "What are you talking about Parker?"
Parker: She looks down to her left hand, as does he, "Damian, I'm sorry."
Damian: Zeroing in on her ring finger, "Where's your ring?"
Parker: Almost wanting to back out, but she had already opened the door; she was to far gone, "I can't."
Damian: "Why's your cupid ring where your engagement ring should be?" He looks up at her fearful, "Parker what's this about?"
Parker: She looks down, knowing this was going to be hard, but not seeming to know just how hard it would be, "Damian, I need some time," He said nothing so she kept talking, but with each word, her heart waged a war with her mind, "When I was stuck inside my head, I came to see that I'm not good for you, that I'm not ready to be married, and I may never be. And you don't deserve that; you deserve someone that knows what they want. And I don't, I'm still young and I'm still stupid, I still like to do things that everyone including Silver finds stupid and we're the same age," Trying to make things up, even though none were the truth.
Damian: Tears filling his eyes making them turn brighter, "Park if it's because of Janet."
Parker: Her heart losing the battle, her mind was stronger, but her heart had hope, but it was giving up just a little, "No, its not, but she helped me see something."
Damian: Again reaching for her hands, again she pulls away, wishing this would be easier knowing damn well that it wasn't about to be easy, she was destroying the one thing in her life, she knew so well, the one thing she needed to live with, needed to have, "I'll do anything."
Parker: Holding back tears, everything around her was falling apart, it hurt to think, breathe, to even look at him, "It isn't you that needs to do anything, Damian it's me. I can't be with you when I don't know if I'm going to live to see another hour. You deserve someone that's stable, someone that doesn't have a weak heart, someone that wouldn't die just if she goes demon hunting or rides a rollercoaster. You deserve someone better than me. You deserve someone that can be with you forever."
Damian: "Park you're going to be here forever," His voice gets soft so soft she barely doesn't hear it, "Don't leave me, I can't lose you, here."
Parker: Her heart almost stops, it's slow, deadly slow, she can't help but feel the pain, when it just fights to beat, yet there was a hint of giving up, a hint of anger inside her heart, not anger with the Elders who told her, or anger with future Grace because she showed her, nor anger with Janet because it was truly her fault that Parker was cursed with this new power, a power to see memories, no her heart was angry with itself because as Damian's world crashed around him, hers did as well, "I can't, I'm sorry," She stands up and takes out his ring she puts it on the fence next to his leg he looks down at it, "I know out there there's someone that should have this more than me." She kisses his check and tears fill her eyes, "I'm sorry."
She walks over to the manor, but if he had been paying attention to her and not the ring he would have saw her running to the manor he would have saw her tearing up as she walked up those steps that felt like quicksand to her legs. He looks at it more tears come down his face.
Damian: Holds it in his hands, and he can feel that it was still warm that she had just taken it off, maybe only minutes ago, maybe even seconds, "What have I done wrong?"
Future Grace: "Nothing," He turns to look at her, "Give her some time."
Damian: His hand hold tightly to the ring, the thing that he thought would bring them closer, not rip them apart, "How long?"
Future Grace: She shakes her head and most of her is angry with Parker, this wasn't meant to happen, not this, not them breaking up, that wasn't part of the plan, that wasn't part of anything, that wasn't supposed to happen, "That's up to you, but she needs some time."
Damian only nods his head, he doesn't wipe the tears out of his eyes, and he just lets them fall.
-New scene-
Emma was sitting in her living room watching the sports channel, Henry was right next to her, he had pop corn in his lap, she was taking some out of the bowl, their eyes glued to the television.
Henry: Turns to look at his daughter, "Not that I'm happy to see you, because I haven't seen you in a while,"
Emma: "WHAT?"
Henry: "Why are you here?" He looked around to find his son, sitting on his other side, "Did I forget someone's birthday? Because this month is January, Hank's birthday already past, and you and Nix's are until July and your moms isn't for a while, what's going on!"
Hank: "Can't we just come to hang out?"
Henry: "No,"
Paige: Walks into the room holding a bunch of sodas, "Don't worry Henry you didn't miss anyone's birthday, I promise you that," She places all the sodas down on the table, "I checked,"
Emma: Laughs, "Aw, why can't I just come to watch the game?"
Paige: "Honey you can come to watch whatever you want, whenever you want, but when your brother isn't with his girlfriend I'm worried,"
Hank: "For your information mom, Emily is with her dad, helping run his ring place, and I live here,"
Paige: "I know that, you don't let me forget it!"
Henry: "Well then, who do I owe, for you two to have come to hang with your pops?"
Emily: "The cable guy,"
Hank: "Again I live here,"
Paige: "You can thank that other daughter, but I don't know where she is," Suddenly Nix orbs in holding some chips. "Ay there she is,"
Henry: "Okay why did you bring us all here?"
Nix: Taking a seat next to Emma, "For the game,"
Emma: "I really doubt that,"
Nix: "Well, maybe I thought we weren't spending time together, maybe I missed spending time with you, people, I mean, I don't even see Emma anymore, she's off in New York, doing who knows what for the Elders, and well Hank's always will Lex or Emily, or at work, and well, I just wanted to spend time with you people, if that was wrong sue me,"
Hank: "Aw, don't get so over protective,"
Emma: "Yea, and besides, if you ever wanted to hang out, all you had to do was orb or call, I'd come running,"
Paige: Looks down at her youngest and knows its more, she doesn't say anything, "So then, everything and one is fine?"
Emma: "Yup, Silver is driving us crazy, and Grace and Ryan can't be happier,"
Hank: Looks back at Nix, "I'm not with Emily that much!"
Nix: Just laughs, "Don't worry mom, everything's looking up,"
Paige: Takes a seat next to Hank, "Good, I'm happy, everything is looking up, I'm really glad to hear that,"
Henry: "You can bet I am too, so someone pass me some chips,"
They all start laughing and enjoy their time just to sit back and watch the game. They can't be happier.
-New scene-
Parker was in her room looking at pictures of her with Damian. She had to pretend that this didn't hurt. She had to keep telling herself that this was the right way. It just had to be. She didn't know how but what she had seen from Jane well now called future Grace told her that she was the cause of Damian turning evil. She couldn't let that happen. So she did the only thing she knew how to do. She ran away, knowing that in the end he'd be better off if she wasn't close to him. He'd move on, even though she never would. She couldn't he was her love, he was her soul mate, and even though she knew this. She also knew she wasn't good for him, she turned him evil she had to let him go, for him not to be evil she couldn't risk him turning evil she wouldn't be able to handle that she wouldn't be able to live if he was.
She looked at the album-pictures of them. One was of them at a hotdog eating contest both smiling as if they had lost their minds. Of them at the beach, of him holding her while he stood in the water, of him throwing her in the water, of her chasing him with a bucket of water and sand. She turned the page and more tears came down her face. She now saw them on top of the stage at P3 making themselves look like fools for karaoke night, of them dancing at her prom, of them dancing around in the manor. Of them as kids. She had been saving these pictures for their wedding but now there wasn't going to be one, there never would be one. She piled up all the photos and put them in a box. And picked up the box, she walked over to her closet and walked up a small latter that she had. She put the box onto the hidden compartment in her closet. She moves it to the end of the compartment and jumps back down off the latter. She walks back to her bed and collapses on the bed as the tears over take her body.
The end.
Wow… this ending… yea… uhm review. Tell me what you think, if Parker ending things with Damian came to a shock to you, hell if you want to yell at me for having her break things off. Go ahead and review. I really just want to hear your feed-back even if it's feed-back that's negative, that way I can know which way I can take this story line or which way I can fix what I might have destroyed. REVIEW! Even if it's just to yell at me.
