Disclaimer: I own no one. All characters are from the television show "Charmed", I'm writing for fun, and not for profit.
Authors note: I'm developing a social life (I haven't had one in over three years), so my time to write has been pushed back. I'm still working on it, sometimes more than others. I'm trying out for the softball team, and if I make it, I'll have even less time to write. (Coach will work us everyday after school). So, I'm sorry for the lack of updates, I know that it's been a week since the last. We're out of school on Tuesday, I'll try to write a whole bunch then. :)
For those who wanted another future chapter with Paige... this one is for you guys.
Thank you for the reviews, keep them coming. Remember people; it's fiction.
Title: Sister Switch Off

Chapter Thirty-Four ~ Write a Spell
"Piper, I... I'm from the past." Piper nodded.
"I know."
"How?" Paige turned her head sideways.
"Your hair for one thing." She smiled. "Um, I remember you saying the spell... years ago. It's okay." The older sister smiled.
"You're not mad." Paige stated.
"No, I'm not. Have you come to find your answer?"
"Well, I'm still with Dan, but we're getting divorced. Not exactly what I had in mind."
"It doesn't have to be this way, though. For you, I mean. You can change it." Paige nodded.
"I know."
"How do you get back?" Piper asked her youngest sister. Paige shrugged. "You don't know?"
"No, I don't." Paige frowned.
"Well," Piper said, deep in thought. She licked her lips and frowned. "Go on down to the basement and get Wyatt. He's got a thing for writing spells. Maybe you two can put one together and it'll get you home."
Paige nodded.
She walked down the stairs from the kitchen quietly as to not frighten Dan and the kids. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she had to dodge an energy ball, coming from Dan. Unfortunately, it hit her shoulder, but it only stung slightly. She looked down where there was no damage done at all to her body or clothing.
Dan came out of his hiding spot from behind boxes and the kids rounded up beside him.
"Hey Paige, watch this." Wyatt said. "Dan- throw and ice blast at me."
Dan rolled his eyes at the boy and did as he said. The ice wasn't much, but as Dan shot it out, Wyatt lifted his hands in front of him. His palms were flat and his fingers were closed, and Paige couldn't help but think he looked like a mime without make up.
"Shield." Wyatt's blue force field appeared in front of him and protected him from the blast.
"He's aggressing." Drew said nodding.
"Progressing." Dan corrected him. "Wyatt can control the force field now."
"Ooh! Watch me, Paigie." Prudence said.
The little girl closed her eyes and wrinkled her forehead, deep in concentration. Slightly, she began to flicker, like a television channel that didn't come in clearly. After a few seconds, she disappeared.
"Where'd she go?" Paige asked. Dan nodded his head to a spot behind her and Paige turned.
Prudence was sitting on the rail of the stairs a smile of triumph plastered on her face.
"I can orbed."
"Orb. Present, not past tense, Drew." Dan corrected.
"Do they go to school?" Paige whispered to him.
"Drew and Prudence will next year. Why?"
"You treat them as if they are. Correcting them."
"They'll be in higher learning when they go to kindergarten." Paige shrugged and rolled her eyes.
"Wyatt, you want to help me write a spell?" Wyatt looked up at Dan, who nodded.
"Sure. I like writing spells. I can rhyme really good."
"Well. You can rhyme well." Wyatt rolled his eyes at his white guidance and took Paige's hand in his own.
"Let's go." Prudence and Drew started to follow them up the stairs when they found themselves unable to move.
Dan was waving his hand slightly, keeping them from moving forward. They turned around and crossed their arms.
"Danny! We wanna go write spells too!" Prudence said with a frown.
"Here's a spell for you. Your lessons you will learn, and be grateful in return."
The children rolled their eyes.
"No writing in ink let him stink." Prudence said.
"Every time we say moo, Dan smells like pooh." Drew finished.
Dan frowned at the two and ran his hands through his hair.
"That's just five more minutes of lessons." Dan said, lifting his eyebrows at the children. "Undo the spell. Prudence Turner."
Prudence shook her head, being the stubborn child she was.
"Samuel Andrew. Both of you better do something or I'll cast a spell like you won't believe."
"Take our words away."
"Forget what we say."
The children crossed their arms over their chests.
"Happy now?" Prudence asked.
"Very." Dan nodded at them. "Come on you heathens. Let's learn about goblins." He grabbed the children by their waists and carried them to the center of the room.

"So, you're saying that you are from when I was a baby?" Paige nodded at Wyatt.
"And I need you to help me write a spell to get me back where I'm supposed to be."
"But what about the you who was here before?"
"That me will still be here."
"You don't remember when you pulled out my first tooth?" Paige shook her head and frowned.
"Nope. You're just a few weeks old."
"And Drew and Prudence weren't born yet?"
"Not yet, no. Jason and Phoebe have just met."
"Wow." Wyatt pushed his hair from his forehead and sighed. "What does the spell need to say?"
"I just need it to work to get me home."
"Okay."
Wyatt began scribbling in the notebook. After a few minutes he looked up.
"How's this?"
"You've written one already?" Wyatt nodded.
"My teacher at school says I'm the best at writing poems. I wrote my first spell when I was three."
"What was the spell?"
"To make my toys fly." Paige frowned. "Like one of those things on the top of a baby bed. I did it when I wanted to go to sleep."
"A mobile."
"Yeah. Mom had saved mine for Drew... because he was almost born. And I missed it."
"You must be very smart."
"I am. I'm almost the smartest in my class."
"Almost?" Paige lifted an eyebrow at the boy who resembled his father in so many ways.
"I used to be... but everybody made me mad, and I don't study anymore."
"You need to study... whether or not anyone makes you mad."
"I know. Dad told me that last time he came to visit."
Paige frowned. She was tempted to ask what he meant, but she knew from her previous social work that it could make a child angry to talk about a missing parent.
"I see."
"I'll try to study, though. For you, Paige."
"Hey, one question."
"Yeah?"
"How come you guys don't call me Aunt Paige?" Wyatt shrugged at Paige.
"Don't know. I think it's because you guys felt that we should be more personal. Demons and warlocks and other sorts of evil come in and out of this house everyday. I think it's kind of like how Darryl didn't want us to call him Mr. Morris. We wanted to be like one big happy family... like brothers and sisters instead of aunts and nephews or nieces. It's complicated, I know. I don't get it either. We only call you Aunt Paige if we want something."
Paige smiled.
"I'll remember that."
Suddenly, a demon shimmered into the attic, and Paige glanced at Wyatt. He nodded at her and put his force field up.
The demon threw an energy ball at her, but she called for it, and threw it back at him. He ducked and threw two more from each hand at her.
Paige wasn't able to dodge these, and she collapsed on the floor. The demon shimmered out and Wyatt was left there with his force field up.
The seven year old dropped his hands to his side and the blue shield disappeared. He dropped to his knees beside his aunt, scared for her. Wyatt was in awe of what just happened. Usually, the Paige that he knew would have fought harder, but since she didn't know the new powers that she had, she was unable to use them.
He tried to find his voice to yell for his family, but the words would form loud enough. He held his hands over her, praying that his healing power would work. He had only used it once, but he didn't know if he could make it come.
He closed his eyes and prayed he could do it right.
