Chapter Three: In The Kitchen
Bobby paced his room, annoying the hell out of his room mates. He had been pacing for the past half hour making both Peter and Sam uneasy. They both knew why he was doing so; he wanted to see how Paris was doing. She was down in the med bay and Bobby was deciding on whether or not he should visit her.
Bobby was usually very suave around girls. He normally had not problem sweeping them off their feet. But for some reason he was having trouble this time. He wasn't a playboy or anything but he knew how to handle a woman. What was so different about this one?
"Bobby, if ya don't stop that Ah'm going ta hurt ya." Sam told him with a hint of annoyance.
Peter, the calm one was anything but. His patience was wearing, and if Bobby didn't make the decisions to go visit her or just stop pacing and do something else he was going to hurt him serverly. "Listen Bob, you want to visit her. So here's what you do. You go to the Med Bay and see her so I don't end up smashing your face in." To emphasize his point Peter turned his arms to metal.
Bobby got the picture and nodded. "Right."
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Bobby wasn't surprised when he entered the room where Paris was to see her mother and aunts a sitting next to her bed. All four of them noticed his presence immediately, and gave him welcoming smiles.
"Hey." Paris greeted him.
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige took that as their cue. The three Charmed ones exited the room with knowing smiles on their faces. When they left Bobby let out a sigh of relief.
"How do you feel?" He asked.
"I'm perfect, just have an over worrying mother." She replied.
Bobby let out a small chuckle and nodded. "Mom's can be a pain sometimes."
"You can say that again." She said and gestured for Bobby to take a seat next to her.
He did so, and saw a smirk on Paris's face. "What?" he questioned.
"I guess you believe me now about the whole witch thing?" she stated with a smile.
Bobby nodded. "How could I not after that display."
There was silence between them for a minute. Bobby was trying to get the nerve to say more. It was hard but he finally managed. "Me and some of the others." He took a deep breath "well were going to this club called The Stag and I was wondering." He trailed off. Paris just waited for him to continue. He did "Would you like to come?" he managed.
Paris smiled. "I'd love to."
"Great." Bobby smiled. He felt a huge weight lift off of his shoulders.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Scott sat in the library reading. Well, he was looking at the page but his mind was in the clouds. He was thinking of Paige, the witch. When his eyes had been able to see color he had noticed her dazzling red hair. It was lighter than Jean's had been. Scott stopped himself right there. He wasn't supposed to be comparing anyone to Jean. He loved Jean. True she had been dead for a year now, and Scott knew he would want him to move on. But Scott still felt bad every time he thought of another woman.
Paige was beautiful; there was no question about that. She seemed to be smart and he had seen her being playful toward her niece in the danger room. She had also shown major concern for Scott when his optic blast froze. He couldn't help but smile at the recollection.
^^Stop!^^ he yelled at his brain. He wasn't supposed to being thinking of her. Was it wrong of him? No. But if it wasn't why did it feel that way? He decided he was just being paranoid and concentrated on the motorcycle magazine he was reading. His thoughts were again brought from the magazine when he saw a red corvette and it reminded him of Paige. Again she was on his mind.
Suddenly he saw a burst of white and blue lights sprout from the center of the room. Slowly the lights went away and their stood the object of his thoughts. Paige.
She jumped when she saw him. She wasn't expecting anyone to be in the library. Her hand flew to her chest in surprise. "You scared me." She stated.
He gave her a smile, and she felt butterflies in his stomach. "Sorry." He replied. "Never thought I'd have that affect."
She gave a dazzling smile and Scott couldn't help but think she was even more beautiful when she smiled. She looked around the large room that was the library. "Wow." She exclaimed. "It's huge!"
Scott nodded. "Nice huh?"
"Yeah." She nodded. Then wondered where she'd find the type of book she was looking for. "Would you mind showing me where the romance novels are?" she asked hopefully.
Scott gave a small smile. "My wife read those constantly."
^^Oh, God he's married. I'm so stupid.^^ She felt dumb to assume a hot guy like him hadn't been snatched. She let out a light sigh. "She's lucky."
When she said that, Paige noticed that his face became sad. "I was lucky. She died a year ago."
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Paige apologized; feeling sorry for the man.
Scott smiled "Thanks," he quickly changed the subject "now back to the romance novels." With that Scott lead Paige to the section which held the books she was looking for.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
It was midnight and Phoebe had awoken from her slumber. She couldn't sleep, her nerves were still on edge from the demon trying to kill her daughter. She was grateful that Cole was able to hear her call and come to the rescue.
Phoebe entered the kitchen, not noticing the man sitting on a stool by one of the counters watching her. She got out the jug of milk, and opened a cabinet only to find plates and bowls.
"The glasses are over there." A husky male voice said causing Phoebe to jump and turn to see Logan sitting at the counter.
"Thanks." She replied a tad bit jumpy from his surprise presence. Phoebe retrieved a glass and poured herself some milk. After returning the milk jug back into the fridge she walked over to the stool next to Logan. "Mind if I join you?" she asked.
Logan just nodded. "What are ya doin up?"
"Can't sleep; you?" she stated as she took a gulp of her milk.
"Same." He replied.
Phoebe remembered that she hadn't apologized form her daughter's little accident. "I want to apologize for Paris melting your claws."
Logan was a bit surprised by her apology but nodded. "She's got some power on her."
Phoebe smiled "Yeah, she gets that gift from her father."
"And would her father be the guy who Chuck is old friends with." Logan questioned.
Phoebe nodded.
"If ya don't mind me askin." Logan began. "Ya seem young to have a seventeen year old daughter."
Phoebe smiled "Why thank you. But she grew up in a demon dimension, and time passes faster there. That's why she's so old. I didn't even know she was alive until she came to my door a year ago."
Logan cocked an eyebrow. "huh?"
"It's a long story." Phoebe sighed.
"Well, we got some time." He told her with a small grin.
Phoebe let out a musical laugh, which Logan thought was rather enchanting. In fact the woman was quite lovely. Normally a pretty face didn't mean that much to Logan, but she had more than that. She had spunk and she could fight, which he had witnessed in the danger room.
"Okay." Phoebe said. "I better start at the beginning so it makes sense." So Phoebe began to tell him about the day her powers had become unbind, her sisters death, her love affair with a demon, her marrying the source and becoming evil and the other stories that made up her hectic life.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Paris awoke from her sleep. She glanced over to the digital clock. It was six o'clock, and Paris noticed that she was awake before the others. She got up and headed to the shower remembering that Rogue told her that if you wanted warm water to get up early. She explained the never ending fight for hot water between all of the girls in the room.
Paris shed her clothes and started the shower, letting the warm water caress her skin. It felt lovely. It was amazing how a shower could just rejuvenate your mind and sprit. After she had cleansed herself, she got dressed for the day. She put on a pair of dark denim jeans, and a burgundy silk blouse, and a pair of black boots. She had shimmered back to her house the night before and packed a suitcase. Her mother and aunts had done the same thing as she had, except they had orbed while she had shimmered.
Before leaving the room to get some breakfast she applied some make-up and pulled her hair into a lose bun with strands of her brown hair hangs out. She noticed that Rogue was the second to wake up and the two shared a smile before Paris shimmered out of the room and into the kitchen.
She surprised to see her mother and Logan talking intently. They hadn't noticed her entrance, and she didn't want to disturb them; at least not yet. When Paris opened the refrigerator door to take out some orange juice, did she break up their conversation.
"Where's the glasses?" Paris asked causing both of the adults to look at her in surprise. The surprise went away from their faces and Logan answered her question. Paris found a glass and poured the drink. She quickly then found the plates, Logan told her where they were kept. She got two slices of bread and started a fireball to toast it. When it was just the way she liked it she buttered it up, and smothered it with grape jam. She took a bit and chewed it contently walking over to the table in the far corner along the way giving her mother a kiss on the cheek.
Not too soon after Paris had sat down at the table did Remy, Bobby and Rogue enter.
"Mornin." Rogue greeted happily, and then gave Logan an approving look when she saw her with Phoebe.
"Mornin Stripes." Logan greeted the girl with a grin.
After the three had gotten their food they took a seat near Paris. And to Paris' delight Bobby sat next to her. Jubilee, Peter and Sam were the next to enter the kitchen. They began animated conversation until a very ticked off Kitty entered the room. That was Phoebe and Logan's cue to leave. There were way too many teenagers in one room at once for them.
"What's wrong Kit?" Jubilee asked, even though she knew the answer. Kitty had been the last one up and had to take a cold shower.
Kitty just mumbled something inaudible under her breath, got breakfast then sat next to her boyfriend Peter.
"So did Bobby boy finally ask de chere?" Remy asked Paris.
Paris smiled when she saw Bobby blush. "Yes."
"Bon." (good.) Remy replied. "Wouldn't want Bobby ta be alone at de club." Remy winked.
"Shut up Remy." Bobby glared. "It's too early."
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Paige walked down the hallway toward the kitchen. She had decided not to orb just incase she might bump into Scott. She passed the rec area and saw Paris talking with the Bobby kid. She smiled to herself. The boy was cute and it was obvious that he had a crush on her niece. She continued on her way to the kitchen and when she opened the door, her eyes widened in horror. There was her elder sister busily cooking one million types of breakfast food. The aroma was delicious but it wasn't good when Piper decided to start cooking large quantities. It meant she was bored and that wasn't a good thing.
Paige quickly shut the door and hurried down the hallway toward the rec room. When she arrived at her destination was still a little shook up by her sister's condition. "Paris!" Paige exclaimed.
"Yes?" Paris asked as she turned to see her aunt Paige with a worried look on her face. "Oh God Paige what's wrong?" the concern in Paris' voice got the attention of the other students in the room who also noticed the worried look on the woman's face.
"Piper, is bored." Was all Paige had to say to make Paris' eyes grow wide.
"Oh no." Paris replied.
"What's wrong wit de chere in de kitchen? Can she not cook?" Remy asked.
"Piper's a chief and a great one at that, but when she gets bored she tends to over do it." Paige told the young man.
"I think we should get Leo." Paris told her aunt. Paige nodded and in unison both called out the whitelighters name.
Leo appeared before them quickly. "Yeah?" he asked.
"Piper's bored." Paige stated.
Leo's eyes widened just as Paris' had done when she had heard the news. "We got to stop her."
Both of the witches nodded and headed toward the kitchen. The students that had been in the rec room with Paris followed the three toward the kitchen. When they got there, the three took a deep breath and entered the room.
Piper looked up from what she was currently cooking. "Hey," she smiled. "I hope you're hungry."
Rogue was in shock at the amount of food that had been prepared. There was every type of breakfast food imaginable grits, pancakes, bacon, waffles, fruit, biscuits, crescents, bagels, toast, oatmeal, sausage, and all types of eggs. "Gawd!" Rogue said in shock.
"Ah Piper I think you should stop now." Paige told her sister. Paris just nodded.
"Oh, okay well have something to eat first." Piper replied.
Paige smiled and took a bagel and some fruit, while she did so she motioned for the others to take something; which they all did. When they had all taken something, they left as quickly as possible saying how great it looked. Piper just beamed with happiness.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Phoebe and Logan shared looks of confusion as they saw the students walking down the hallway with plates full of food.
"What the hell?" Logan questioned.
Paris walked down the hall with her plate filled with food, catching the eye of her mother. "Paris, whats-?" she asked but was cut off with the answer.
"Piper got bored." Her daughter told her and then continued to walk down the hall with her plate full of food pondering what to do with it.
-----Hope you liked the chappy. I thought it was cute. But don't worry there will be some action and romance in the next chapter as well as the others. Please review. ~Alana-----
