Chapter 6
Jamie sat next to Jersey, in the back of the black limo. The twins exchanged nervious glances. "I think maybe after spending three weeks with me, you'll reconsider. You are seven now." Mary said, she closed the window between the driver's seat and the passenger's segment. "She forgot to lock the doors." Jersey whispered in Jamie's ear. "Now, now, if we're ever going to be friends we can't have secrets. Don't you want to be friends?" Mary asked. Jamie and Jersey shrugged. "At the next light, you go out your door, and I'll run out mine." Jamie whispered back Jersey nodded. "Then run to the back, then we can run away." Jersey added. Jamie nodded. "Why don't you split up, Jessie, you stay there, and Justine-" "IT'S JERSEY! THAT'S MY SISTER JAMIE!" Jersey yelled, her voice reached such a loud note Mary grimaced. "Jamie, move to the other window, please." Mary said. Jamie slid over, with a smile on her face. "Girls, back to our problem. Don't you want to be powerful? You can have anything you want. Anything." Mary said. Jersey looked up at her. The car slowed to a stop, and was surrounded by other cars. "I only want one thing. And Jamie told me she wants it too, but evil can't give me that." Jersey said. Mary looked at Jersey annoyingly. "Oh, yes it can." Mary said. "Jersey!" Jamie yelled. Jersey snapped back into reality, and quickly jumped out of the car, as the same time as Jamie. They met at the back of the car as they said. "Which way?" Jersey asked Jamie. Jamie looked around. "Go straight, when we turn the corner, we can hide in a store." Jamie said. They heard a car door slam, and Mary franticly ran after them. "Damn this body!" She cursed. Her eyes turned black, yet her human form remained. Jersey and Jamie dodged cars and ignored the honks, as the turned the corner, they ran down the sidewalks, looking for the perfect store to hide in. They made a sharp left into a building that happened to be an animal shelter. "In here, there's lots of noises, and maybe she won't come in here because of the smell." Jersey said. Jamie nodded. The twins were short, so they easily made it past the front desk, and into the area where the animals were kept. They hid behind a crawl space of dog toys. "At least no one saw us hide here." Jamie said. Jersey nodded. "Do you know their address?" Jamie asked. Jersey looked at her. "whose address?" Jersey asked. "You know, Piper, Leo, Phoebe, Cole, Paige. Where was Paige anyways. She wasn't there to tell the cops that it was ok that we could live there." Jamie replied. "I don't know their address, the street starts with a p." Jersey replied. "I don't know where Paige was." Jersey said. "I wanna know what Phoebe and Piper keep talking about." Jersey said. "I'm tired, can we go now?" Jersey asked. Jamie looked at her. "No way! I don't want to get sick like you were." Jamie said. Jersey rolled her eyes, but remembered the pain, and weakness she felt when the potion inflicted her. "Fine, right before that guy turns the sign around, I'm leaving, I don't care if your coming or not." Jersey said. "Ok, jeeze don't have a cow." Jamie said.
"Why couldn't use our powers?" A very angry Piper asked the group. Phoebe looked down. "She must have put a hex or something on us." Paige said. "No, she must have only put it on the property line, because I could orb back." The group looked at Paige, and then ran out the front door into the street. Piper blew up the mailbox, with ease. "Leo, orb!" Piper demanded. "Where?" Leo asked. Piper turned to Paige, "Paige, orb." Piper ordered. "Follow me." Paige said. Paige orbed out with Piper and Phoebe, and Cole and Leo followed her. "Paige, the limo's not even here." Piper said, outside of the door to the Victorian mansion. "Maybe there not coming back." Paige suggested. "Someone say a spell, then to bring us to them." Piper ordered again. Phoebe looked at Cole. Usually, spells were her queue. "Um, in this time, and in this hour, We need help from a greater power. Bring us to our heart's true cry, Weather they be on either side." Phoebe finished. Piper nodded, it sounded good enough. They chanted it again, and flashed into an animal shelter. A lady turned around and ran into Paige. "Excuse, me, I didn't know you were there" The lady said, she shook her head. "You should add in, maybe take us to a bathroom. Next time." Paige said to Phoebe. Phoebe glared at Paige who shrugged it off. ________--------________- "Did you hear that?" Jersey asked. Jamie lifted her head. "What?" Jamie asked, listing harder to the surrounding sounds. "Nothing, I thought I heard Paige." Jersey replied, leaning against Jamie. _____________------________
"Maybe, the spell didn't work." Paige exclaimed. Phoebe gave Paige a glare. "Maybe, you can shut up." Phoebe shot back defensively. Paige gave Phoebe a weird look. "Now what. They can't transform into animals, right?" Phoebe asked, looking around at the dogs that were franticly barking. All the cats were in the far left corner. Even a potbellied pig was found in the last cage on the right. "I don't think so." Piper replied, looking at all the animals, especially the pig. Suddenly, there was another noise heard, besides the annoying, continuous sound of the animals. "Piper, Phoebe!" Jersey and Jamie exclaimed, giving up there hiding spot, and running to the Halliwells. The five of them turned around. Jamie and Jersey kept running, and gave all of them a big hug. "Are you guys ok?" Piper asked with a smile on her face. Jamie nodded. "Lets get outta here." Phoebe said. Cole picked up Jersey and followed Phoebe. Leo and Piper each took one of Jamie's hands, and Paige walked beside them. "Did you get everything sorted out?" Paige asked. Jamie looked up curiously at Piper and Paige. Piper nodded; right when Jamie was about to ask what they were talking about, when Jersey interrupted that. "Wow! Phoebe, she's really cute!" Jersey said, pointing to a tan, light brown, white and dark brown puppy in a cage. She was young, and must have just started to eat dry food. "Yeah." Phoebe said, stopping. Cole let Jersey down, and she grabbed the cage with her hands. Jamie let go of Piper and Leo's hand, and went to see what all the commotion was about. "Lemme see!" Jamie said, looking over Jersey's shoulder. Jersey stepped aside, so that her twin could see. "She looks like Dolly." Jamie observed. Jersey shook her head. "No, Dolly was fat, and she has blue eyes." Jersey corrected. "And Dolly had bigger ears, and a bigger nose." Jersey continued. Phoebe smiled, trying to hold in a little bit of laughter. Piper, Paige and Leo caught up to them, and looked over the twin's heads. Jersey bent down and petted the puppy from the cage. She licked Jersey's hand, which made her giggle. "See, she likes me." Jersey said. Cole laughed. "We better go, we don't want you to go back with Mary." Leo said. Jamie turned to Leo and nodded. "Ok, but could we come back later and visit her again?" Jersey asked. Cole nodded. "Sure, but lets go home first." Cole said. Jersey nodded. "Um, guys, I think we better orb." Paige said, pointing to the lady sitting at the front desk. Piper nodded. She grabbed Leo and Jamie's hand, and Leo orbed out with them. Paige grabbed Phoebe's hand, then reached for Jersey's. "Coming sweetheart?" Paige asked. Jersey looked at Paige, then looked at Cole. "How come nobody ever goes with Cole?" Jersey asked. Paige looked at Phoebe. "He has a different way of going places." Phoebe explained. "Can I go with him this time?" Jersey asked. Cole smiled, and Phoebe nodded. Jersey grabbed Cole's hand, and Phoebe gave him a 'be careful or else' look. Cole nodded, and shimmered back to the manor, or at least the street of the manor. Paige orbed back with Phoebe. _____--------___________________________-----------_____________-------___
"Everything is sorted out." Phoebe said, before she collapsed on the couch. "You mean we don't have to go back to Mary?" Jamie asked curiously, sitting on Leo's lap. Phoebe nodded. "Yes!" Jersey said happily. She too climbed up on Cole's lap. "Piper, Phoebe, Leo, Cole we need to talk. Now." Paige exclaimed, coming into the room. Phoebe, who knew what was coming, turned toward Jersey and Jamie. "Guys, why don't you go play outside with your tee ball stuff." Phoebe said. Jersey looked at Jamie. "So you guys can talk to Paige?" Jersey asked. Phoebe smiled and nodded. "K." Jersey and Jamie said in sync. The girls grabbed their gloves and the tee ball, which was on the coffee table, then went outside to play catch. "You guys have this figured out right?" Paige asked hopefully. Phoebe looked at Piper. "Sort of, Paige, this is too hard!" Phoebe replied, lying on the couch. Piper nodded, and joined Phoebe on the couch. Paige took a deep breath. "Well, since you guys are, well uh, sisters, and you still live in the same house. And if you ever move out of the house, it won't be for a while, and even then Jamie and Jersey will probably be tired of each other," Paige started, eyeing Phoebe and Piper. "Paige you're the best!" Phoebe said, springing up out of her seat, hugging Paige. "I didn't even finish." Paige replied, pulling away from Phoebe's hug. "We know what you're going to say." Piper said, hugging Paige. "What am I going to say?" Paige asked. "Well, you're going to let us adopt them." Piper said surely. Paige nodded. "ONLY, and that's ONLY, if you keep them together until their older." Paige said. Phoebe and Piper nodded in agreement. Paige reached in her briefcase, and grabbed two files out of it. "Here look at these." Paige said, handing Phoebe Jersey's file, and Piper Jamie's file. "Wait, how do you who we wanted to adopt?" Piper asked, flipping through the papers. "It's only obvious." Paige replied. Piper looked at Phoebe, who nodded slowly. Phoebe looked through the Jersey's file with Cole, and Piper looked through Jamie's file with Leo. "Wait, Paige, did you know their birthday was like four days ago?" Phoebe asked. Paige slapped her forehead. "Shoot! Jersey told me it was on Halloween. You guys, how can nothing demonic happen on Halloween?" Paige asked, at this point desperately confused. "Don't question, you might jinx it. Besides, Mary wasn't enough for you?" Piper replied. Paige shrugged. "Piper, we HAVE to get them something. We didn't even take them trick-or- treating or anything." Phoebe said. Piper nodded. "Well, Jersey likes that puppy in the shelter." Cole suggested. Phoebe face opened up with a blue ribbon smile. "Yes! Cole, come with me to get her." Phoebe said, anxiously getting off Cole's lap. Cole followed her. Phoebe set the file back on the table. "We will be right back." Phoebe said. Piper looked at the couple. Cole was about to open the door. "Wait!" Piper said, freezing the door. "I guess the hex wore off." Leo said. Paige nodded. "What are we supposed to get Jamie, and we still have to get Jersey something too. AND you have to get Jamie something. Same with you Paige." Piper said. Phoebe looked at her sister confused. "I wish I understood that. Let me make MYSELF clear, since you already failed to." Phoebe said, saying the last several words in her baby voice. "Cole and I, we are going to get Jersey that adorable little dog. Before that, we are going to go shopping for Jamie. I already have something in mind. Now, unfreeze that door!" Phoebe exclaimed. Piper unfroze the door, and Cole and Phoebe walked out. Piper looked up at Leo. "We can get Jamie a easy-bake oven. She loves to cook with you." Leo suggested. Piper nodded. "Yeah, but what about Jersey?" Piper asked. Paige looked at Piper. "I already know what I'm getting them both. You stay here and watch them." Paige interrupted. Piper and Leo nodded as Paige went out the front door. Approximately five minutes later, Jamie and Jersey came happily walking in the door. "Hey guys." Piper said. Jamie and Jersey went into the living room. "Hi." The twins greeted in sync.
Jamie sat next to Jersey, in the back of the black limo. The twins exchanged nervious glances. "I think maybe after spending three weeks with me, you'll reconsider. You are seven now."
