CHAPTER 1: Two years later

"Pira Michelle Halliwell, come down from there NOW" Piper called up to her three year old niece who was sitting on top of the bookshelf, telekinetically throwing books at her aunts. She had teleported herself up there (Prue's astral projection had changed to a whole new level in her daughter) in a huff because Piper had scolded her for pulling her two-year old cousin Melinda's hair.

When Paige had tried to orb Pira down the little witch had started throwing the books.

The only answer to Pipers command was a book thrown forcefully (and with very good aim for a three year old) at her aunt's head. Piper was starting to get to the end of her tether with her niece.

Paige tried next "come on sweetie, come down from there. You know the rule about powers, don't you think uncle Leo would be disappointed to come back and find you using them when it wasn't necessary?"

This did the trick. Pira absolutely ADORED Leo. She hated him being angry with her, so when he was around she was usually a very well behaved little girl.

But when he WASN'T. Well let's just say this wasn't the first magical tantrum Pira had ever thrown.

The little child jumped off the bookcase, causing her aunts to suck in a nervous breath. It was rather high. The kid could seriously hurt herself if she hit the ground.

Paige quickly orbed over and caught the falling child, setting her safely on the ground.

Typically Leo orbed in just after the room had been put to rights again and his mischievous niece put into Time Out.

"Piper, why is Pira sitting there all on her own?" Leo asked as he went over to scoop his niece up and give her a hug. The sisters grinned at each other. Typical. He never believed them when they told him the things his 'little princess' had been up to when he was gone. He thought she was a perfect angel, since she normally was when he was around. Some angel.

Then Melinda orbed in from the next room to demand her own cuddle. She knew daddy was home so she wanted attention. Leo looked at his daughter, his sweetie, and told her gently that she wasn't allowed to use her powers without permission. "But Pira did" the child exclaimed. Pira looked a little sheepish at this. She didn't think Leo was going to get told.

"Pira, did you use your powers?" he asked sternly. The child nodded, looking downcast. Her stupid cousin. It was her fault she was in trouble in the first place.

"Did she USE her powers??" Piper said. "No she didn't USE them, she ABUSED them. She threw a book at my HEAD for god's sakes. Why do you think she's in time out?" Now Leo looked downcast. His princess had misbehaved. And his daughter had used her powers as well. This wasn't good. He thought both children understood why they weren't allowed to use their powers.

"Melinda, Pira, you know not to use your powers, and Pira why were you throwing books around?" he asked.
"She pulled my hair" Melly piped up. "Then when mommy told her not to she got mad and teleported" That child was a born tattle- tale.

Leo walked away from Pira. "You had better stay their for a while Pira, think about why your not allowed to use your powers. What if someone who doesn't had powers had seen you? You could have caused lots of trouble." He knew this was a bit harsh for a three year old. But he HAD to do it. If the children didn't use their powers responsibly they would have to be bound. They couldn't risk exposure.

"And don't pull your cousins hair" he said over his shoulder. "Oh and Melly, telling on people isn't nice, you know you don't like it when Pira gets YOU in trouble" This was true. But his daughter had a habit of bursting into tears and making sad puppy eyes whenever anyone tried to scold her. The adults could hardly ever resist.

But when it was magical misbehaving, well that was different. They had to scold. Melly had all of her parents powers, and loved to use them whenever possible. Pira, who was older had slightly more restraint.

Leo made both the children promise AGAIN not to use their powers unless their aunts or him gave permission. It probably wouldn't make any difference but he had to try. When he judged Pira understood what she had done wrong he let his two little girls go and play. He gazed after them and thought how sweet they were, especially when they got along.

Pira and Melly chose to play their favourite game. Witches. With real powers of course. But only when the adults weren't watching.

Authors Note: This chapter really doesn't have anything to do with the plot, I just felt like writing it, plus you get to learn what the kids powers are.

Do you like this? please review if you do, or don't. Like I said before criticise me if the story needs it. I only want to improve. People keep telling me to put in more paragraph spaces. I hope this is done right since normally I tend to put paragraphs in the wrong place. And thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter. I hope you like this one too.
