Chapter 4

________________________________________________________________________________________

It was early Monday morning at the Halliwell Manor....

Phoebe who was already up was gathering all her things for work and was in the kitchen now eating breakfast and drinking her coffee. Everyone else was up as well except for Matthew and Chris who stayed up late the night before and was still sleeping. Piper was finishing up her cooking and Leo was helping her by setting plates on the table, and Paige was drinking some coffee. After Phoebe finished her breakfast, she grabbed her things and started to leave the kitchen, when Chris and Matthew orbbed in.

"Morning." said Matthew tiredly and when over to the counter to get something to drink.

"Morning, you two sleep well?" asked Piper.

"Kind of not use to sleeping here, I think." replied Matthew.

"You'll get use to it. Well I better get going, I'm late for work. See you guys later." said Phoebe and she walked out the back door.

"What do you want to drink Chris." Matthew asked his boyfriend from the counter he was at.

"Some milk will be fine."

Matthew filled two tall drinking glasses with milk, one for Chris and one for himself and walked over to where Chris was and set the glasses down. He then sat down next to his love and started to pile his plate with all sorts of food and started to eat.

--------------------

At the fortress of fairy tales...

The evil fairy witch had been just watching the morning events of the Charmed Ones.

"Well then it time to get the show on the road." said the witch as she walked over to the book of fairy tales.

"I already knew,

What you're planning too,

This might ring a bell,

The one before you tried this and failed as well." spoke the keeper trapped in the mirror.

"Maybe but three times the luck. So lets start with the boy who never grew up." and the witch turned the page to a story.

The story of Peter Pan was shown and a picture which contains Peter himself chased by pirates.

"Come forth, I summon thee." and immediately the pirates on the page was lifted off the paper and came to life.

Standing there was three pirates. A captain, Hook and his two shipmates. The witch then walk around the table she was at and walk towards them.

"I want each of you to bring me the heads of the three witches."

The three pirates nodded and disappeared.

--------------------

Halliwell Manor...

Breakfast had finished awhile ago and everyone was dressed now and was doing something or another. Chris and Matthew was in the kitchen cleaning up and washing the dishes from breakfast, Piper was upstairs with Leo taking care of Wyatt and Paige was in her room doing something.

After the two teens had finished washing and cleaning they walked out into the main hall that was when Paige came down from her room, she was dress in a summer killer outfit.

"Going out with Dan again? Aunt Paige." asked Matthew when he saw his aunt all dressed up.

"Yeah, we're meeting up at downtown for lunch later and maybe head towards the museum afterwards."

"So I guess this is a long term relationship for you then?" A new voice had spoke out and it was Piper with Leo holding Wyatt coming down the stairs.

"I think so, he maybe the one for me. Uh, you don't have any problem with it do you?" asked Paige.

"No, he not a demon or warlock or golem or wanted by the Angel of Death, so I'm fine with it." replied Piper as she and Leo gotten to the bottom of the stairs.

Then suddenly one of the windows of the sundeck exploded and pieces of glass and windows were everywhere. Out from the broken window burst in two pirates, one dress as a captain and the other as a shipmate. The captain rushed at Piper while the shipmate rushed at Paige.

The captain swung his sword at Piper but she quickly dived to the ground and missed her barely. Leo quickly grabbed a nearby flower vase and threw it at him and it smashed against his head. The captain pirate just kept rushing at Piper with his sword like he wasn't phased by the vase. Before he could got to her, Piper threw her hands out at him and he exploded into nothing.

While the shipmate swung his sword at Paige trying to take her head off, she orbbed out just in time and the sword went right through her. She orbed back in a distance away from the pirate and the pirate quickly ran at her again. Matthew quickly got in front of the pirate and used his reversing powers and the pirate went in reverse and went flying against a wall. Chris then was beside Matthew and created a big ball of energy orb and threw it at the pirate as he got up. The energy ball hit the pirate as he got up and was ingulfed in light and exploded into nothing.

"What was that?!" shouted Piper.

--------------------

At the office.....

Phoebe had met up with Aaron at the front door and they both walked into the building and started to head up to their work place. As they walked through an empty hallway Phoebe dropped something so she bent down to pick it up. As she was down the third appeared out of nowhere a distance behind her and ran at them with his sword. Aaron saw this and gapped in surprise.

"Phoebe! Watch out behind you!" shout the wind teen as the pirate got near them.

Phoebe stood up and turned and saw the pirate with his sword, swinging it at her. Phoebe quickly ducked and with a swing of his arm, Aaron launched out a wind cyclone at him and sent him flying down the hall and slid across the floor. While Aaron helped Phoebe up the pirate got up again and started to run down the hall at them again.

"Blow him up or something!" shouted Phoebe.

"Blow him up?! What do you mean blow him up?! Thats Piper's power! I can only control winds." said Aaron.

As the pirate got near them, Aaron quickly got in front of Phoebe and in a quick move he disarmed the pirate of his sword and kicked him back a bit. The pirate of course not giving up ran towards them, right into the sword that Aaron was holding. After he was impaled he exploded into nothing and Phoebe and Aaron just looked at each other in shock.

--------------------

"I told you, you can't defeat the power of three,

Just give up now or be vanquished like the one before thee." said the keeper as the image of the mirror changed back.

The fairy witch just growled in frustration.

"It seems the witches has help. Well then I just need to get rid of them as well." said the witch smuggedly.

She turned away from the mirror and walked back to the book of fairy tales and turned the page to the next stories.

"Ah, lets see how the young wizard feels after he kills his frog prince." and the witch turned to the page of the Frog Prince story.

With a quick movement and gesture of her hand, out from the page of the story came out a fly in between her finger tips. She brought it up to look at it and smiled at it and it then disappeared in sparkles. Next she turned the page again and the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears came up.

"I wonder if they are will be full after eating the wind boy." the witch cackled.

--------------------

"What? Phoebe you and Aaron got attacked by a pirate as well?" said Piper who was talking on the phone with her sister.

"Alright, we are checking the Book of Shadows right now, if we find out anything we'll call." and Piper hanged up.

"Well I say they got to be demons." said Paige as she walked towards the Book of Shadows.

After the pirate attack everyone went upstairs to the attic to check up on it.

"What demons would dress up as pirates and tries to kill you with a sword." putted Chris.

"Yeah well I hope theres no more where they came from." and Paige continued to look through the Book of Shadows.

Wyatt started to cry at that time and Piper who was holding him at that time started to check what was wrong.

"Matthew could you go and get the diaper bag so I can change Wyatt." Piper asked her son when she checked Wyatt's diaper.

"Sure." and orbed down to the nursery.

When he arrive he started to look around for the diaper bag, at the same time Matthew didn't notice a fly appeared out of nowhere in the room and flew towards him. Matthew started to get up as he found the bag under a shelf and was about to orb when the fly landed on his cheek. Quickly he brought his hand up and slapped it.

Once he did that, some sort of energy covered his body and he felt himself started to change. He looked around and saw everything around him get bigger and bigger as he got smaller and smaller and change right into a frog. Not knowing what had happened to him he tried to talk but he couldn't, so he tried to orb but nothing happened. So he quickly decided to get to the attic the old fashion way to get some help and he noticed he was hopping.

Up in the attic Paige was still looking through the book and Piper was waiting for Matthew to bring the diaper bag up.

"Chris can you go and see why is Matthew taking so long?" asked Piper and Chris nodded and orbed down to the nursery.

When Chris was gone that was the time that Matthew the frog hopped up into the attic and right at his mom. Piper feeling something cold and wet at her feet, she looked down and saw the frog and screamed and jumped up and away from it.

"Piper what wrong?!" asked Leo worriedly when he heard his wife screamed like that.

"Its a frog! Its a frog! Kill it! Kill it!" Piper shouted.

"A frog where?" asked Paige as he look up from the book.

Matthew hopped up towards his mother shouting 'Mom its me! Its me! Matthew!" shouted the frog teen but no one could hear him. So he hopped at his Aunt Paige which surprised her and she screamed as well and leaped away from it.

'Its me Matthew! Can't you see!' shouted the frog once again in his mind.

While downstairs in the nursery, Chris heard the commotion and orbed back up to see what was wrong. He arrived back up in the attic and saw that Piper and Paige was standing together somewhere with Wyatt while Leo was at another part of the room holding a wooden object.

"What is going on you guys?" asked Chris confusingly.

"Theres a frog." said Paige.

"A frog?" said the teen wizard amusingly.

Chris looked around and saw a dark green color frog hopped away from Leo. Paige grabbed a nearby object and was about to throw it at the frog, when Chris heard something.

'Everyone it me! Matthew! Chris help!' shouted Matthew's voice in Chris's head and he snapped his head up at them.

"Paige stop! Don't!" shouted Chris and he quickly launched out an energy orb and intercepted the object before it hit Matthew.

Chris then sprinted over to where Matthew was and knelt down and held out one of his hand and the frog hopped right onto it. Chris then stood up and faced the others and stared at the frog.

"Matthew?" asked Chris as he looked at the amphibian.

"Chris, what did you do that for?" asked Paige.

"Because its Matthew."

"Matthew?! That frog is Matthew?! How do you know?!" shouted Piper.

"Because I heard his thoughts." explained Chris.

Then out of nowhere, Bryan teleported in a swirl of water and the most surprising thing is that he was soaking wet. Everyone just stared at him wanting to know what happened.

"Sorry, but I ranged the bell and no one answered." said the water teen.

"Uh, Bryan what happened to you? You're all soaking wet." asked Piper.

"One of the water pipes broke in the house and I came over to ask you guys if you know any good plumber that I could call."

"I can help you fix it." said Leo.

"You're a plumber?" asked Bryan with a rised eyebrow.

"I use to work as a handyman for the manor."

"Oh, thats great thanks." thanked Bryan and then asked, "Whats going on here?"

"We got attacked by pirates and Matthew got changed into a frog." explained Chris as he held out Matthew the frog.

"Attacked by pirates and changed into a frog." the water teen said slowly.

"Yeah and now we have to find a cure for him." stated Paige as she went back to the book.

"No need the cure is right there." said Bryan as he gestured towards them.

"Where?" asked Piper.

"There, Chris is the cure."

"Chris?"

"The story of the Frog Price, you have heard of it before, haven't you? Where the princess kisses the frog prince but in this case the prince kisses the frog prince."

That when Piper and Paige looked at each other with a shocked expression.

"It can't be, you don't think..."

"Not again..."

Chris understood what Bryan meant and kissed his boyfriend the frog on the lips and immediately Matthew changed back to normal.

"Matthew, you're back to normal." shouted Chris happily and hugged Matthew with an loving tight embrace.

--------------------

At the office where Phoebe was working at, it was noon.

Aaron walked into Phoebe's office who was still working typing on her computer.

"So are you going out to lunch or you're going to stay here?" asked Aaron as he sat down in one of the chairs.

"Staying here, I need to finish this. What about you?" replied Phoebe.

"I'm meeting Michelle at Chinatown then meet up with John for lunch. You want to come along?" asked the wind teen.

"No, but thanks anyway."

"How about I bring something back?"

"Would you? That would be great."

"Alright see you after lunch." and Aaron disappeared in a whirl of wind.

--------------------

Chinatown, where Michelle family's store is opened.

She was the only one there for the moment, checking up on the herb stocks in the store. Then the front door opened and the bell attached to it rang. She turned around to see who came in and it was Aaron.

"Hey Michelle, you're the only one here? Where is everyone else?" asked Aaron as he looked around the empty shop.

"They went to lunch early, they should be back soon. So anything interesting happened this morning?"

"Besides the fact that Phoebe and I was attacked by a pirate at work this morning."

"A pirate, attacked you two." said Michelle slowly wanting to make sure she heard correctly.

"Yes a pirate."

"Okay."

Then the front door opened again and in walked a middle age old man wearing chinese style clothing that was a black shirt and biege color pants.

"Good afternoon Mr. Fao." greeted Aaron.

"Good afternoon Aaron, how are you?" asked Michelle's father.

"I'm doing quite good, thank you."

"Ah, good, good and Bryan?"

"He's doing fine as well."

"So I see you two are off to lunch."

"Yes we are dad." replied the fire teen.

"Then have a nice lunch and I will see you later." and Mr. Fao went over and back behind the counter.

Michelle and Aaron left the shop and started to head for downtown when they heard screams and roaring sounds. They turned around and saw that people were running down the street away from something. They waited and it was a black bear, not one but three of them in fact each a different size coming down the street towards them. And what was weird about them was that they were wearing clothes.

"What the hell..." started Michelle.

"Alright first pirates, now bears. This day is getting more weirder and weirder." said Aaron.

"Don't look now but they're coming this way!" shouted Michelle as the bears rushed at them and tried to swipe its paws at them.

In panic the fire teen looked around making sure no one was near and she shot a stream of fire at one of the bears and it was in gulfed in flames and immediately it exploded into nothing.

"Are bears suppose to explode like that?" asked Michelle as she just saw what happened.

"No but it looks like they are not ordinary bears."

Then the two remaining bears ran at them and Michelle launched out a fireball at one of them which it exploded on contact. Aaron released an whirl wind a the last one and it went flying through the air and was crushed and exploded into nothing by the air pressure.

"Come on, lets go find John and tell him what happened." and the two teen teleported away.

--------------------

"As you can see,

your efforts are useless,

against the friends,

of the power of three." spoke the mirror as the evil witch had finished watching the scene with the frog prince and the three bears.

"Well then maybe brawn isn't the way to go but beauty is." and the witch turned the page of the book to Rapunzel.

"I summon you Rapunzel to do my bidding." and the character came off the page and appeared in front of the witch.

But unlike the story this Rapunzel was wearing leather pants, jacket and boots and had her blonde hair tied in a braid, up to waist length.

"I want you to help get rid of the one that controls the winds." commanded the witch and the woman nodded and disappeared.

--------------------

It was after lunch and Aaron was walking through a park, back towards the office. As he walked a beautiful woman dressed in leather walked out behind a tree and stood right in front of him blocking his way.

"Good afternoon miss. May I help you." asked Aaron but the woman just stood there.

"Yes, my name is Miss. Zel, Rapun Zel."

She had some sort of evil glint in her eyes and she smirked at him while Aaron stood there confusingly and her eyes glowed red. Then suddenly without warning she swung her head around and her braided hair unravelled itself and it grew super long and was flying towards the wind teen.

Aaron just looked at her with wide eyes and quickly he launched himself twirling into the air. During the past few days he manage to adapt his wind powers with his martial arts skills, making him able to do things like chinese martial arts can do in movies and such. Like flying through the air, leaping great height and run across walls.

Rapunzel's hair went flying and stabbed itself into a tree trunk and Aaron floated back down and landed on her stretched out hair. She quickly pulled her hair out and Aaron jumped off and landed on the ground while her hair went back to normal. She rushed forward and did forward flip and stopped right before him and started to do a series of punch and kicks at Aaron while he tries his best to block.

During one of the attacks she swung her hair around and it took Aaron off guard and the hair wrapped itself around Aaron tying him up. Aaron tried to move but he couldn't so he teleported himself out and then ran forward, launched himself into the air and did a series of forward kicks. Rapunzel block each of them with her arms and Aaron landed back on his feet, as he did Rapunzel jumped up and did a roundhouse kick.

The wind teen quickly brought his arm up to block but the force of the kick was a bit strong and sent him flying towards the ground. He quickly twisted his body and he landed in a kneeling position safe from harm and looked up at his opponent who was in a fighting stance already.

He quickly did a sweep kick and she jumped right over it then stood up twist his body around and kicked her with his right leg and she blocked it. Right away he did another body twist and kick her in the stomach with left and she wasn't able to block it and sent her to the ground on her stomach. She got up in rage and rushed at Aaron again and start to punch him. With a quick movement he got hold of her arms, pulled himself down and his right left up behind and over his head and kicked her in the head.

She stumble back a bit and launched her killer hair at him once more and Aaron quickly dodged out of the way and grabbed hold of it. He quickly pulled on it and as well as Rapunzel as she grabbed hold of her end of her hair. They stood there for a bit pulling on the long hair like a tug-o-war.

Then Aaron twist himself around, right towards Rapunzel, let go of her hair and attack her with punches. Taken by surprise, she wasn't able to react and kept getting hit. Then Aaron kicked her once making her stumbled back a bit and quickly with a movement of his hands, he thrust his palms at her. Using his wind power he release it through his palms and sent Rapunzel flying through the air and Aaron himself launched himself after her and started to kick her rapidly multiple times in the chest.

With one last powerful kick and did a back flip, he sent Rapunzel flying towards a statue that was in that area of the park. As Aaron landed on the ground, the fairy tale character smashed against the statue and exploded into sparks.

"What...is...going...on here." Aaron breathed out as he tried to catch his breath after the fight.

--------------------

"I tolded you, you won't succeed,

and soon I'll be freed." the keeper in the mirror said smiling.

With frustration and rage the witch turned around and walked around for awhile then stopped and faced the mirror once more with a look.

"Well then since the witches has others to help them, then I'll get some help as well." and she smiled evilly.
