Charmed At Last
Chapter 5: Charmed To Meet You
Prue looked around Paige's room. The walls were painted lavender and there was an averaged sized bed in the corner of the room. The bed had a fluffy white comforter with big purple flowers all over it and frilly edges. There was a small white dresser on the right side of the bed that had little purple, star shaped handles. A little box of lavender tissues sat on the top of the dresser next to what looked like an antique, silver jewelry box. Little lilac flowers were carved into the silver jewelry box for decoration. A small wind chime hung from the ceiling. Each chime was a crystal in a different shade of purple. Then in another corner of the room painting supplies lay on the floor. Prue then looked at Paige. She had long, dark, slightly wavy hair. Much like Prue's own hair was, but Paige's hair was a little straighter. Paige had very pale skin, almost like a porcelain doll. Prue stared at Paige's face for a moment. Paige's mascara had run, since Paige had been crying, making big black streaks across her pale face. Paige's large brown eyes were slightly red.
"You can sit down if you want." Paige said. Paige scooted the other side of the bed, making room for another person.
Prue smiled and sat down. "So um, nice room. I love the purple and lilac theme." Prue said, trying to make small talk.
"Yeah..thanks." Paige said, quietly.
"Is purple your favorite color?" Prue asked.
"Yeah..And lilacs are my favorite flowers." Paige answered.
Prue smiled again. "Purple is a great color. My favorite color happens to be blue and my favorite flowers are carnations." Prue replied.
Paige took a tissue and wiped her eyes and then smiled slightly. "That's nice." Paige said.
"Look, Paige, I know that we don't know each other and it's probably too early to give you the 'big sister talk', but I really think it's needed. Paige, you brought this family together after I went and ruined a good portion of Piper and Phoebe's lives. You helped them get through my, so called, death." Prue said.
Paige sighed. "But it seems like everything I do, I screw up. Piper and Phoebe were constantly getting mad at me and comparing me to you." Paige said.
Prue patted Paige on the back. "Don't feel bad. You are your own person. Ha, it's too bad you don't know how many things Piper, Phoebe, and I did wrong when we first discovered our powers. And I'm surprised that Phoebe of all people would yell at you. She got so upset when I made the mistake of yelling at her." Prue said.
Paige's smile became wider. "I guess Piper and Phoebe were right about one thing." Paige said.
"What's that?" Prue asked.
"That their beloved big sister always knew how to make them feel better." Paige responded.
Prue blushed. "Well, thanks...But it's not like I'm doing a very good job right now." Prue said, with more than a hint of sadness in her voice.
"It'll be okay. They love you so much, I know they won't stay mad." Paige said.
Prue nodded. "They need their space. Especially Piper, she's been through so much in such a short time." Prue said.
Paige nodded in agreement.
Suddenly there was a noise on the other side of the room. "Sisterly bonding, 'eh?" A tall man with jet black hair asked.
Then a female warlock blinked in next to him. "Too bad we're going to have to end the reunion." The woman smirked. A ball of hot, orange-red flames appeared in her hand.
Then the man held up his hand and a ball of neon yellow, energy formed.
In unison they threw their creations at Prue and Paige.
"Fire ball!" Paige called. The fire ball disappeared in a swirl of blue and white orbs then reappeared in the same swirl of blue and white orbs, in Paige's hand.
Prue waved her hand and at that exact moment Paige threw the fire ball back.
The fire ball and energy ball hit their targets at about the same time and then the warlocks disappeared in a puff of smoke. Prue turned to Paige with a grin.
"Nice power!" Prue said with surprise.
"I was about to say the same thing." Paige said.
"That was so awesome, you just took that fire ball right out of the air." Prue said.
Paige grinned. "And you just flicked your wrist and the energy ball went flying back!" Paige replied.
"We could have really used you for some of the demons we battled." Prue said.
Paige smiled with pride. "Thanks." Paige said.
"What else can you do?" Prue asked.
"Orb, sense, sense evil, partially heal, and shapeshift." Paige said.
"Oh, that's so cool. Can you shapeshift into me?" Prue asked.
"Yeah." Paige said. Paige closed her eyes and then moments later she changed into Prue.
Prue's mouth dropped open. "You must get most of your powers from your whitelighter half, right?" Prue asked.
"Mhmm." Paige mumbled, then she changed back into herself.
"What else can you do?" Paige asked.
"Just this." Prue said. her body instantly went limp.
There was a red flare behind Paige and Astral Prue appeared. Astral Prue tapped Paige on the shoulder. "Over here." Astral Prue said.
Paige spun around. "Awesome." Paige said.
"It's called astral projection. The downer is I can't use my powers in my astral form yet." Astral Prue said. There was another red flare and Astral Prue was gone.
Real Prue awoke. "But it's still pretty cool." Prue said.
"Yeah, I bet." Paige said.
"Well, I hear that you're pregnant." Prue suddenly said.
Paige sighed. "Yeah, unfortunately." Paige said.
"What's wrong? Isn't that supposed to be a good thing?" Prue asked.
"First, I'm not ready. Glenn, my long time friend, and I just began steady dating. He's the first real boyfriend I've had in years. Second, he's always gone on trips. Third, I'm the youngest sister. Not only that but I'm a witch...witch whitelighter, actually. And lastly, this should have been Piper, not me. She wanted a baby, and she's ready." Paige explained.
"But Paige, you do realize that everything happens for a reason right? I mean, I wasn't supposed to return to you all until much later, but when you got pregnant..I had to come." Prue said.
"Really?" Paige asked.
"Really." Prue confirmed. "I guess...this baby did bring around some good." Paige said, as she placed her hand over her stomach.
"So, d'ya know what powers she has yet?" Prue asked.
Paige laughed. "How do you know it's a she?" Paige asked.
"Well, it'll probably be a she. Seeing as how we haven't had a boy in the Warren line yet." Prue said.
"Ahh...Well, to answer your question. Remember earlier when I raised that glowing light ball at you?" Paige asked. "Mhmm." Prue mumbled. "Well..Piper and I think that is the baby's power. See, it's like Piper's molecule acceleration power, but it is a glowing white ball of light. Piper says that whitelighters can make harmless ones. Well, when they hit something or someone, the light ball and the object or person that it hits blows up as well." Paige explained.
"Wow, that is one powerful little child." Prue commented.
"Yeah, I guess so." Paige said.
"Well, have you thought about names?" Prue asked.
"Not really. I'm only like 3 months along. But I didn't really believe it until about a month ago." Paige said.
"Oh." Prue said.
"Care to run over names with me?" Paige asked.
Prue smiled. "I'd be honored. First, do you want to keep the 'P' tradition going or not?" Prue asked.
"Well, I think that would only be right." Paige said.
"Well, then there are the long lists of 'P' names in our family line. Penelope, Patricia, Penny, Patty, Pearl, Piper, Phoebe, Prudence." Prue said.
"Well, was that one witch...umm, that had each of the powers that you, Piper, and Phoebe have?" Paige asked.
"Melinda Warren?" Prue questioned.
"Yeah, that's it. How does, Pearlinda, sound?" Paige asked.
"Hmm....Pearl and Melinda, combined? I think that sounds really pretty. It's unique too." Prue said.
"We could call her Pearl for short. Like how you're Prudence but it's Prue for short." Paige suggested.
Prue held up her hand. "High five, sis. That's great!" Prue said.
Paige laughed and high fived Prue's hand.
"Now, I only hope Glenn will be okay with it. Or, any of this for that matter." Paige said, sadly.
"I'm sure he will. From what you've said, he doesn't sound like the kind of guy to just leave you." Prue said, in a reassuring tone.
Suddenly there was a blood chilling scream.
Prue and Paige turned to each other. "Piper!" Prue and Paige yelled in unison. Paige grabbed Prue's hand and they disappeared in a swirl of blue and white orbs! TO BE CONTINUED....
