Levitation

"Leo, she was listening in on us!" screamed Prue. "How is it for the best?"

"It's for the best because she is a smart girl and we wouldn't her to be in a situation and find out that she doesn't have powers. She could get herself killed and then the Young Ones would be no more," said Leo calmly.

"Yes, I guess, but when did the Elders tell you who was going to get their powers first? And why didn't you already tell us? And did they tell you what powers each of them would get?" asked Prue.

"The Elders told me everything the day that Andrea received her powers," said Leo, "and they told me to tell you that the girls were going to get powers, but that I am not supposed to tell you what powers they were going to get except that one will come from you and one from the father and that they might get extra powers if the Elders see it fit."

"Oh, okay, fine, just fine," said Prue, "I don't get any info, none at all. Go to Phoebe and tell her this. She has to be prepared for her own daughter's powers. Oh Leo, just get out of my sight, I'm not very happy with you."

"Bye," said Leo.

Meanwhile, at the Spigalian palace, Phoebe got quite a surprise. She was sitting in a large chair reading a Spigalian epic in front of the fire place and her servant came into the room.

"Your Majesty, there is a young man waiting at the door for you. He said that he needed to see you about something and that his name started with a B and ended with 'zor.' He said that you would know who he was from that," said the servant.

"Thank you Sarus, you may go now," replied Phoebe.

"In my opinion he looked a little like a thief who wants to get the best of you," said Sarus.

"I didn't ask for your opinion did I now?" asked Phoebe.

"No, your Majesty, you didn't."

"Go now, and I will see to my guest," said Phoebe while she was privately thinking, 'Yes, it's Cole, I can't believe he forgave me!'

Phoebe dismissed her servant and ran out of the library. She ran down the spiraling staircase and through the corridors down to the hall where her guest was waiting for her arrival. Just before the doors to the hall, she stopped, brushed off her dress, caught her breath, and straightened out her hair. Another servant, who was standing at the door, opened it for her while yet another servant called, "Her Royal Majesty, Queen of Spigalia, Queen Phoebe I!"

Cole bowed, and took her hand and kissed it gently, while Phoebe looked like she didn't care.

"Your Majesty," said Cole, "I have requested a private audience with you for a royal emergency."

"My Lord, If this is an economical emergency or any other type other than a social call, then I must dismiss you without any other thought," said Phoebe.

The two went on like this for another half hour until Phoebe dismissed her servants and took Cole to the library where they could talk privately.

"Oh Cole, you forgave me, thank you," said Phoebe.

"Yes, your Majesty, I did," replied Cole, "and now we shall get to business."

"Oh Cole enough with the formality, what did you really come her for?"

"Phoebe, I missed you okay, I admit it, I missed you."

"Yes I know you." Phoebe was cut off bye a shrill scream coming from her daughter's room, "Oh crap, a demon."

"Wait here Cole, I have to go see what is wrong with Gwyn."

"Can't I come?"

"No, she doesn't know about you and me, stay here, I'll only be a minute."

"But I can help!"

"I know you can, but she doesn't know you."

"Well you can just introduce me as 'Lord Cole' then."

"Fine, fine, I give in, if you're coming, come on!"

The two raced down the halls towards the west end of the palace. At then end of the hall they took a sharp right, stumbling into a room with a dark haired, emerald green eyed seven year old girl floating in mid air.

"Mommy, help, I can't get down," moaned the little girl.

"How did you do that?" asked Phoebe. "Here, Gwyn, grab my hand and I'll help you down. Leo.Leo."

"What?" asked Leo, "What's going on?" He pointed up, "and why is she up there?"

"Well little Gwyneth here has discovered that she can levitate," said Cole.

"Who are you?" asked Gwyn when she got back down on her bed.

"Oh, Gwyn, this is Lord Cole, a friend," said Phoebe.

"Oh, okay, if he's a friend I guess its okay."

"So what happened, Gwyn?" asked Leo.

"Well, I was in here, lying on my bed, and then Crystal, my cat, came in her and said that she was hungry, so I gave her something to eat and laid back down on my bed. Then I got really bored and I kinda broke one of the house rules, Mamma, and I started jumping on my bed. And then, on my last jump, I started floating, and I got scared and screamed and you guys came in and helped me down."

"Well, that would be your powers coming into play," said Leo.

"Powers?!" said Phoebe and Cole all at the same time.

"Yeah, remember what he said that day when Andy got her powers.Oops.I wasn't supposed to say that," said Gwyneth.

"So you're a little spy too?" asked Leo.

"No, actually, that was Andy, and she told us everything you guys said."

"They all do it, Leo, we've caught them all in the act at least once," said Phoebe.

"Okay, well, now that that's settled, I have to go. I'm being called. By the way, Phoebe, what powers did King James have?"

"He could transform into other animals, turn other things into animals, and he could talk to animals."

"Well, we know what your daughter's powers are," said Leo.

"What?" asked Gwyneth eagerly.

"You can levitate, transform yourself and others into animals and talk to animals."

"How do you know Leo?"

"The Elders told me," he said and he orbed out.

"Great, just great. He uses that stupid excuse again."
