A/N: Sorry for lack of updates, I'm swamped with work!

*Preschool Trial*

Leo orbed into the room in a flurry of white light. 'Piper, Phoebe, what's up?'

'Our daughter is bringing TV characters to life, and up there is what's up!' Piper cried, waving her hands about to prove her point and accidentally shattering a vase. 'Oops.' Piper added.

Phoebe shrugged. 'I never liked that old thing anyway.'

'Let me get this straight.' Leo said slowly. 'Melinda turned someone into TV into real life? With what? A spell?'

'No. Apparently she blinked.' Piper grabbed his arm. 'Leo. Get into the sunroom and send Olivia on her way! Now!'

'Olivia? As in Olivia from the Cosby - ow!' Leo exclaimed as Piper's tug got a little insistent. 'Okay I'm coming!'

'Mom!' Wyatt hollered as he and Grace burst through the door, waking up Paige in the process.

'What are you yelling for?' Paige asked, sitting up. 'Piper took you home didn't she?'

'Today is carpool day!' Grace said, putting her hands on her hips. 'You should know by now!'

Piper came into the living room, where Grace and Wyatt were. 'What?'

'Mom today I accidentally-' Wyatt looked horrified, 'mom today I accidentally blew a chalk duster up.'

'And Aunt Piper I had a premonition about it.' Grace added, looking worried.

'What? You always get premonitions.' Piper said, shaking her head.

'But Auntie Piper, I always have premonitions about like simple stuff. Like what dinner is. Which by the way, is going to be Chinese food. Anyway, but Aunt Piper this premonition was longer than my usual six seconds. It went for twenty! And you know what else? I had so many premonitions today, all twenty seconds or longer, that I have a headache! And like just five minutes before it happens!'

'Sit down. Slow down. And tell me what happened. Okay?' Piper led the two to the kitchen, far, far away from Olivia and Melinda. As Grace's hand brushed the doorway she shuddered - a premonition.

'I'd rather have popcorn.' Grace said as they entered the threshold of the kitchen.

Piper looked at her. 'How'd you know what I was thinking?'

'It was in the premonition you were going to give us popcorn then changed your mind that you'd give us cookies.' Grace answered.

Piper took out a packet of popcorn and put it in the microwave. 'Okay. Tell me what happened one at a time. Wyatt, you go first.'

'Well okay. I knew the answer to a question but the teacher wouldn't pick me. So I was waving my hands and she still wouldn't and I got so mad!' Wyatt said, narrowing his eyes. 'And then suddenly a chalk duster blew up. So I had to freeze the room really quickly and then hide the chalk duster.'

Piper frowned. 'But Wyatt honey, you never blow things up. You've never been able to, remember?'

'Well now I can.' Wyatt said, looking kind of scared.

'I see. Well Gracie I know you can levitate now too. I guess it must be a power surge, because Melinda um. did something.'

Wyatt scowled. 'Why is my baby sister always one step ahead of me?'

Piper patted Wyatt on his head sympathetically and took the popcorn out of the microwave. She poured it in a bowl then rejoined them. 'Now Grace, what about you?'

'Well I had a premonition this morning about Wyatt and the duster. And then you know he came and visited me five minutes later and confirmed it - after he froze my class that is.' Grace explained. 'And five minutes before lunch I had a premonition I'd fall over playing skipping. Only I never play skipping. But outside other girls playing skipping tripped me up. It's all coming true Aunt Piper. I've had about fifteen premonitions today.'

Piper frowned. 'Well that's not necessarily anything to worry about. It just means you're having more premonitions.'

Leo came into the kitchen just then. 'Okay Piper, Olivia is gone and Melinda is having a nap.'

'Who's Olivia?' Wyatt asked.

'Uh. Melinda's friend. From the Cosby show.' Piper added quickly.

'From the. hey!'

'Oh, oh I know this one!' Marianne cried on the television.

'Uh-uh.' Piper said, as she walked into the room and spotted the TV on. Finally they had figured out that Melinda had to wave her hands to get rid of Olivia. As for Grace, she was now wearing gloves, and Wyatt had insisted they freeze his own hands.

'But mom-' Wyatt protested.

'No complaints. Unless you want Marianne in here trying to figure out the question then there will be no TV till this problem is resolved.' Piper turned off the TV. 'Understood?'

Wyatt and Grace hung their heads. 'Yes.'

'Good.' Piper eyed the two. 'If I let you chew bubblegum tonight, do you promise to stay out of trouble?'

'Yes!' Grace squealed. 'We do, don't we Wyatt?' Wyatt nodded quickly.

Piper smiled. 'Okay. Be right back.' She hurried to get the bubblegum out of its hiding place in the fridge. 'Two sticks each.'

Wyatt and Grace eagerly began chomping, soon having started a bubble blowing contest. That was two down, now one to go.

Phoebe had figured out Melinda was feeling lonely somehow - Piper suspected another new power - so it was of vital importance that Melinda was entertained so she wouldn't need to decide for who knows to come visit her.

Leo and Andy were checking with the elders for more information, while Prue and Paige played with Melinda. Piper figured all she had to do now was sit and wait.

'Melinda honey,' Piper hurried into the room the next morning. 'How would you like to go somewhere new?'

Melinda looked up from where she played with a Barbie doll. 'Where?'

'Well, daddy and I remembered it's around the time for you to start preschool.' Piper said as she crouched next to her daughter.

'What's that?'

'It's like a play date.' Piper explained cautiously. 'There's lots of kids your age to play with, and nice ladies who give you cookies and juice and stuff. And a playground. You do all kinds of stuff, like finger painting. and you even get to have your afternoon nap.'

'When?' Melinda asked. 'Do I have my nap?'

'The same time.' Piper said, proud that she'd planned her daughter's schedule alike to a preschool's. 'For the first few days I can come with you.'

'Maybe.' Melinda agreed, yanking a comb through Skipper's hair.

'Well today daddy and I thought we could take you just to have a look at all the fun stuff you'll be doing.' Piper explained. 'How about it?'

'Okay.'

Piper smiled and picked Melinda up. 'Leo!' She called. Leo was sitting in the kitchen, reading the paper. 'She's ready!'

'Okay.' Leo put down the paper and got up. 'Do I have to come Piper? It might not be the best thing to have me along. I might be. called.'

'LEO.' Piper rolled her eyes. 'Of course you have to come. You're the father remember? We both have to evaluate whether or not we want to send Melinda there.'

'Piper we agreed before Wyatt was two that all our kids would get the best education possible. You stressed it had to include preschool.' Leo pointed out.

'Leo!' Piper said, annoyed as she buckled Melinda into the car seat. 'Mellie, there is something very important about preschool. Remember the no- magic rule?'

Melinda nodded and recited obediently. 'No using magic outside of our house unless there's a demon.' She said dutifully.

'Right. Well you can't use any at preschool. You can't talk about it either. You can't say anything about magic. Do you get me?'

Melinda pouted. 'But m-o-o-o-o-o-m-m-y! What if they don't like me? I'll HAVE to tell them then, or they won't want to play with me!' She wailed.

'Of course they will.' Piper soothed. 'Everyone loves you. Don't worry about a thing.' As Piper climbed into the front seat Leo grinned at her.

'Wish you could do that, right?' He asked with a smirk.

'How'd you know?'
