Family Affair
Chapter 1: A New Beginning
*****March 4, 2004*****
Phoebe and Cole pulled away from their long, passionate kiss, to face rows of people. A huge smile upon each of their faces.
"And now I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Cole and Phoebe Halliwell Turner." Penny Halliwell, a.k.a Grams, announced. She smiled and stepped down from the alter. She hugged Phoebe. "I'm so happy for you my dear." Penny whispered.
"Thanks Grams! That means a lot to me!" Phoebe said, as a few tears of joy escaped her brown eyes.
Penny nodded and then walked to Cole and gave him a hug as well. "Welcome to the family, Cole. You better take good care of my granddaughter and my great granddaughter!" Penny warned. Penny wore a long, red dress. It had bell sleeves that were trimmed in gold. Her shoes were red, velvet boots, and she had on light red lipstick.
"I promise to, Mrs. Halliwell." Cole responded, as he ended the hug.
"Call me Penny." Penny answered.
Cole nodded. He looked very handsom. He had on a jet black tux, with a perfectly white shirt, and black tie. His shoes were black and just about as shined as they could get. His deep blue eyes sparkled with pure love and his black hair looked perfect.
Phoebe was dressed in a brand new flowing white, lacy wedding dress. It had a very puffy skirt and long, lacy sleeves. The dress was a low cut though. A beautiful diamond ring glittered from her hand and her nails were painted a mint green. Her long brown hair hung over her shoulders. It had a slight wave to it. She wore a pearl earring in each ear, that had been her mother's earrings, and a golden neckless hung from her neck that she borrowed from Piper; a small blue stone was on the neckless. Her lips were painted light red and her cheeks had a reddish tint. Her shoes were white, satin heels. She looked so beautiful, considering she was already 4 months pregnant. She had a slight bump on her stomach, but the wedding dress hid that very well. Phoebe held up her bouquet. "Who wants to catch the bouquet?" Phoebe asked.
A crowd of un-married women, mostly friends, gathered together and let out a few cheers.
Phoebe turned around and tossed the bouquet over her shoulder and then spun around to watch the crowd run after it.
Piper stood up, holding her almost 2-year-old daughter, Phiona Melinda Wyatt. She was dressed in a long, pale pink gown. It has little white daisies all over the dress and 2 little pink bows on each side of the waist. The skirt of the dress was very flowing and went down to Piper's ankles. It was short sleeved, with flowy sleeves. The dress tied in the back. Piper's long, light brown hair, hung down over her shoulders. Two little light pink daisy clips were placed in her hair to keep the front strands from falling in her face. Piper had on light pink lipstick and that was all the makeup she wore. Her shoes were light pink heels. Her nails had been painted for the wedding; they were light pink with white dasies. "Congratulations Phoebe!" Piper greeted, as she walked over to her younger sister. "How are ya feeling?" Piper asked.
"Oh, considering I'm four months pregnant, and in a wedding dress...Well, I guess I'm okay." Phoebe responded.
"Congratulions!" Phiona squeeled. She was getting pretty good at her words, but she still couldn't pronounce things quite right yet.
Phoebe laughed. "Well, you look mighty pretty today!" Phoebe complimented, as she looked at Phiona.
Phiona grinned. "Tanks! You wook weal pwetty too, Aunt Phoebe!" Phiona replied. She was wearing a dark pink, velvet dress, trimmed in lace. A dark pink, satin bow was on the front of the dress and the dress tied in the back with a dark pink, satin ribbon. Her nails were painted a dark pink as well. She wore dark pink socks, trimmed in white lace, and had white dress shoes on. Her hair was pulled back into pig tails with little dark pink, bow shaped, hair clips. "Mommy, I want down!" Phiona grumbled, as she pointed to the floor.
"Phiona, I will set you down in a moment." Piper said. She turned her attention back to Phoebe.
Phiona glared, but nobody seemed to notice. Phiona looked around and spotted a chair a few feet away. She held out her hands and little blue and white orbs shot from her palms. The orbs surrounded the chair and pulled the chair to Piper's side. Then the orbs vanished. "Momma, chair, Phiona wants down, now!" Phiona said, as she pointed to the chair.
Piper looked down to where Phiona was pointing. "That wasn't there a few momen...Phiona! You're not suppose to be using your powers like that!" Piper scolded.
"But I want down!" Phiona responded, her voice sounded frusterated.
"Then put the chair back and I'll let you down." Piper said.
Phiona sighed and held out her hands again. Orbs shot from her palms and surrounded the chair, then moved the chair back to it's original position, then the orbs vanished. "Down!" Phiona demanded.
Piper sighed and set Phiona on the floor. "Be good. Go find your cousin, Pearl." Piper said. "And above all, do not, get into trouble!" Piper warned.
Phiona nodded and ran off, into the crowd.
"So, that's what I get to look forward too?" Phoebe asked, as she watched Phiona run off.
"Yep. But don't worry, there are good times. But labor isn't one of them." Piper explained.
Phoebe moaned. "Oh gee, I just can't wait for that." Phoebe muttered, in a sarcastic tone. "I wonder what'll come first; shimmering or power absorbtion?" Phoebe asked, rhetorically.
Phiona wondered up the stairs to the bedrooms that had been added onto the Manor last year. She walked over to Pearl's room and hit the door. "Pearl! Hey Pearl!" Phiona yelled. There was no answer, but she could hear movement inside the room. Phiona held out her hands and orbs shot from her hands. The orbs hit the door and then the door flew open; then the orbs vanished. Phiona walked inside and saw her cousin playing on the floor. "Pearl!" Phiona grumbled.
"Oh, hi, Phiona." Almost, 3-year-old Pearlinda Melody Belland responded.
"Why you up here?" Phiona asked.
"'Cause, mommy took me up here." Pearl answered.
"Well come down sears." Phiona said.
"Stairs." Pearl corrected.
"Dat's what I said." Phiona countered.
"No, you said, 'sears'. It's 'stairs'. Get it?" Pearl asked.
"Whatever." Phiona said, as she rolled her mint green eyes. "We can go get cake!" Phiona said, with a grin.
Pearl's eyes lit up. "Cake?! Let's go!" Pearl exclaimed. Pearl jumped up from her spot. She was wearing a lacy dark purple and white dress with a little purple flower on the sleeves of the dress. Her socks were purple with little white flowers on each side. She had on white dress shoes as well. Her dark brown hair was pulled back into a pony tail with a purple bow and her nails were painted purple. She was slightly taller than her cousin, but not too much. "Come on!" Pearl yelled, as she grabbed her cousin's hand, and pulled them out the door.
Pearl and Phiona rushed down the stairs and scurried through the crowds of people until they came to the kitchen. There infront of their eyes, stood the largest cake that they'd ever seen. Both of their eyes became as wide as silver dollars.
"The mommy of all cakes!" Phiona gasped.
"Yeah, it's like the biggest mommy witch cake ever!" Pearl gaped.
There were only a few people in the kitchen at the time, but nobody seemed to notice the two little girls. Then the people rushed out of the room, leaving only Pearl and Phiona.
"Use your orb-telekinesis to get the cake down!" Pearl said, never once taking her eyes off the giant mother cake.
Phiona nodded and held out her hands. Little blue and white orbs flew from her hands and swirled around the cake, slowly pulling the giant cake towards them. "It's kinda heavy. I've never moved really heavy things before." Phiona said, as the cake wobbled in the air. The some of the orbs vanished from around the cake and it wobbled even more; one by one, the orbs began to disappear. "It's heavy and I'm getting tired!" Phiona whimpered.
"Try harder!" Pearl urged.
Piper walked over to Paige and Prue, who were having a conversation in the living room. "Paige? Prue? Have either of you seen the girls?" Piper asked.
Paige shook her head. "I left Pearl in her room after the wedding. But about five minutes ago I went to check on her and she wasn't there." Paige said, as she took a sip of her white wine. Paige had her nails perfectly manicured in lavender, with little purple lilac flowers on them. She wore a lavender skirt and blouse, with purple lilacs all over them. The skirt went down to her knees. Her shoes were white granny boots with lavender, ribbons, for the shoe laces. She wore dark pink lipstick and pink blush. Her dark brown, almost black, hair hung down over her shoulders.
"I thought I saw a glimpse of them running towards the kitchen, a few minutes ago." Prue said. Prue had let her long, raven black, wavy hair, hang down. She wore a casual baby blue dress that went slightly past her knees. She had on light blue, satin heels. Her nails were also done, especially for the wedding. They were light blue with a little white rose in the center of each nail. Her lips were reddish-pink color and she had no blush on.
"The kitchen? What could they possi...." Piper began, but her voice trailed off. 'The cake! Oh no, those girls are addicted to cake!' Piper thought. "The cake! Hurry, the kitchen, now!" Piper gasped.
Paige set down her wine glass and immediatly stood up.
Piper, followed by Paige and Prue, dashed through the room to the kitchen.
As Piper entered the kitchen, to her horror, she saw the last few orbs disappear from around the cake; then the cake came crashing to the floor. Piper, with almost lightning speed, raised her hands and froze the cake; inches from the floor.
Paige's mouth dropped open. "Just what do you think you're doing?!" Paige scolded.
Pearl and Phiona made pouty lips. "We just wanted some cake...." Pearl and Phiona mumbled in unison.
"Cake!" Paige called. In a swirl of orbs the cake disappeared from it's frozen spot near the floor and orbed in, back in it's original position on the table.
"Well you have to ask before you get cake, you don't just use your powers to get cake!" Piper snapped. "You almost ruined Aunt Phoebe's wedding cake!" Piper added, her voice was more than angry.
Pearl and Phiona's lips began to quiver. They looked as though they were about to burst into tears.
Prue decided to step in. She took a step between her sisters and her nieces and then kneeled down to her nieces' eye level. "Now girls. You understand what you did was wrong, correct?" Prue asked.
Pearl and Phiona nodded, a few tears escaped their eyes.
"Now, now. No need for tears. I know you just wanted some cake. But you have to ask first. Plus, when we have a wedding cake, the bride and groom have to take the first bites of the cake." Prue explained. "Do you understand?" Prue asked.
"You mean Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Cole have to get some of the cake, first?" Pearl asked.
Prue nodded. "Now, I think it will be okay if you have some cake, after the bride and groom have some. But you have to promise to never do this again, okay?" Prue asked.
Pearl and Phiona nodded.
"Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye!" Pearl said. Then she made a cross over her heart with her finger and pointed to her eye.
"Me too!" Phiona agreed. She then tried to copy her cousin's motions, but accidently got them backwards. She poked her heart and crossed her eye.
Pearl started to giggle, but quickly stopped, as she noticed Paige's not so happy face.
Prue had to smile, her nieces were just too adorable. They often got into a lot of trouble, being the little witch-whitelighter-mortals that they were, but they were still adorable. Prue opened her arms. "Now, come give me a hug!" Prue said.
Pearl and Phiona grinned, then ran into their Aunt Prue's arms, and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Auntie Prue!" Pearl and Phiona exclaimed, in unison.
Moments later Prue let the girls go. "Now I want you to do one more thing for me." Prue said.
"Yes?" Pearl asked.
"Go give each of your mommies a hug too." Prue said. She looked each girl in the eyes.
Pearl nodded and walked up to Paige. She opened her arms.
Paige smiled and knelt down next to Pearl and hugged her.
"I'm sorry mommy, I just wanted some cake." Pearl apologized.
"I know sweetie. I know, it's okay. I shouldn't have snapped. I just got upset. I love you lots!" Paige replied.
Pearl smiled. "I love you lots too, mommy!" Pearl replied.
Phiona slowly walked up to Piper. "Mommy...I weal sowwy." Phiona mumbled.
Piper bent down and wrapped her arms around her daughter. "It's okay, baby, it's okay." Piper said, as she hugged Phiona. "I'm sorry too." Piper apologized.
"I wuv you!" Phiona whispered.
"I love you too, baby." Piper responded.
Prue stood up. "Now girls, run out there and find Aunt Phoebe. Ask her when we can have some of that yummy cake!" Prue said, with a grin.
Pearl and Phiona smiled, then took hands. "Okay!" The girls said in unison, as they bolted out the door.
"Thanks Prue." Piper and Paige said in unison.
"No problem, I think being an aunt is probably easier than being the mom." Prue replied.
"But you'll make a great mom someday." Paige said.
"Yeah, after all, you were a great mom to Phoebe and I." Piper added.
Prue smiled. "Thanks you two." Prue said, with a new sense of pride.
The three sisters shared a triple hug for a moment and then heard footsteps.
"Oh, that's probably Phoebe and Cole." Piper said.
"And the rest of the wedding." Paige added. She still didn't quite trust Cole, but had accepted the fact that he and Phoebe weren't breaking up any time soon, especially since Phoebe was now pregnant with Cole's child. Prue, too, was the same way.
The doors opened up and Phoebe walked in, followed by many other people from the wedding. "So, I hear the girls want cake?" Phoebe asked.
"Oh...yeah...really want cake." Paige replied.
Phoebe grinned. "Then let's give it to them!" Phoebe said. "Hey Cole, it's time to cut the cake!" Phoebe called.
Cole walked into the room and stood next to Phoebe. He waited as the rest of the guests gathered in the kitchen and then he took Phoebe's hand.
Together Phoebe and Cole cut the first slice of cake and each took a small piece. They linked arms and fed each other a piece of cake.
A roar of clapping filled the room, with a few woo hoos, yays, and congrats.
Phoebe took her plate, fork, and piece of cake and walked out into the living room, followed closely by Cole, with his own plate, fork, and piece of cake.
Pearl and Phiona rushed up to Piper and Phoebe. "Now can we have some cake?!" Pearl and Phiona begged, in unison.
Prue nodded. "Just a moment, girls, I'll get it for you." Prue answered. She walked over to the cake and grabbed 2 plates. She carefully cut out to slices of cake and placed a slice on each plate. Then handed each girl a plate.
Phiona looked down at the plate and frowned. Then the she looked up at the table and saw the plastic forks. She held out her hand and orbs shot from her palm. The orbs surrounded 2 forks and pulled them to her. She grabbed one fork out of the air.
"Pearl, da fork." Phiona said.
Pearl nodded and grabbed the fork from the air, then watched the orbs disappear. "Thanks." Pearl said, as she dug into her first bite of cake.
Piper frowned. "Phiona, powers?" Piper questioned.
Phiona blushed. "Ooops?" Phiona asked, innocently.
Prue patted Piper on the shoulder and shook her head. "Lighten up and thank God, that it was only forks." Prue said.
Piper nodded in agreement and let out a sigh. 'Magical children are so much work...But I guess in the end, it is all worth it.' Piper thought. "So, when do we get our cake?" Piper asked.
Paige smirked. "Yeah, I'm craving cake here!" Paige said, in a playful tone.
Prue rolled her eyes and returned to the cake. She sliced 3 more pieces of cake, placed them on 3 different plates, grabbed 3 forks, and then telekinetically sent a plate to Piper and Paige. "If we can't beat 'em, then join 'em!" Prue said. Then she took a bite of her cake.
Pearl and Phiona burst out the door of the kitchen with their plates of cake, probably to go find some other kind of trouble to get themselves into.
Prue shrugged. "Come on, let's go." Prue said, as she lead Piper and Paige out the door.
As Prue, Piper, and Paige reached the living room there is a crackling of electricity and a demon appears.
The demon has a kind of blue skin and purple markings on his body. His eyes are like small slits and they are deep purple. Electricity forms in his hands and he scans the room, spotting Phiona. He lets a bolt of energy from his palm which wraps around Phiona and jolts electricity through her. But the energy doesn't disappear. It acts like a rope and then he pulls her to him, all the while shocking her.
Piper screams. "No! Let her go!" Piper yelled. She flicked her wrists, in an attempt to explode the creature, but it only wounds him. Piper raises her hands again, this time trying to freeze the creature. He seems to freeze for a moment and then breaks out of the freeze.
As he finally grabs Phiona with his hands, he shocks her one more time, making her black out. Then he disappears with Phiona, in the same crackle of energy in which he came. TO BE CONTINUED....

Phoebe and Cole pulled away from their long, passionate kiss, to face rows of people. A huge smile upon each of their faces.
"And now I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Cole and Phoebe Halliwell Turner." Penny Halliwell, a.k.a Grams, announced. She smiled and stepped down from the alter. She hugged Phoebe. "I'm so happy for you my dear." Penny whispered.

Penny wore a long, red dress. It had bell sleeves that were trimmed in gold. Her shoes were red, velvet boots, and she had on light red lipstick.
"I promise to, Mrs. Halliwell." Cole responded, as he ended the hug.
"Call me Penny." Penny answered.
Cole nodded. He looked very handsom. He had on a jet black tux, with a perfectly white shirt, and black tie. His shoes were black and just about as shined as they could get. His deep blue eyes sparkled with pure love and his black hair looked perfect.
Phoebe was dressed in a brand new flowing white, lacy wedding dress. It had a very puffy skirt and long, lacy sleeves. The dress was a low cut though.

Piper stood up, holding her almost 2-year-old daughter, Phiona Melinda Wyatt. She was dressed in a long, pale pink gown. It has little white daisies all over the dress and 2 little pink bows on each side of the waist. The skirt of the dress was very flowing and went down to Piper's ankles.

Phiona sighed and held out her hands again. Orbs shot from her palms and surrounded the chair, then moved the chair back to it's original position, then the orbs vanished. "Down!" Phiona demanded.
Piper sighed and set Phiona on the floor. "Be good. Go find your cousin, Pearl." Piper said. "And above all, do not, get into trouble!" Piper warned.
Phiona nodded and ran off, into the crowd.
"So, that's what I get to look forward too?" Phoebe asked, as she watched Phiona run off.

"Why you up here?" Phiona asked.
"'Cause, mommy took me up here." Pearl answered.
"Well come down sears." Phiona said.
"Stairs." Pearl corrected.
"Dat's what I said." Phiona countered.
"No, you said, 'sears'. It's 'stairs'. Get it?" Pearl asked.
"Whatever." Phiona said, as she rolled her mint green eyes. "We can go get cake!" Phiona said, with a grin.
Pearl's eyes lit up. "Cake?! Let's go!" Pearl exclaimed. Pearl jumped up from her spot. She was wearing a lacy dark purple and white dress with a little purple flower on the sleeves of the dress. Her socks were purple with little white flowers on each side. She had on white dress shoes as well. Her dark brown hair was pulled back into a pony tail with a purple bow and her nails were painted purple. She was slightly taller than her cousin, but not too much. "Come on!" Pearl yelled, as she grabbed her cousin's hand, and pulled them out the door.
Pearl and Phiona rushed down the stairs and scurried through the crowds of people until they came to the kitchen. There infront of their eyes, stood the largest cake that they'd ever seen. Both of their eyes became as wide as silver dollars.
"The mommy of all cakes!" Phiona gasped.
"Yeah, it's like the biggest mommy witch cake ever!" Pearl gaped.
There were only a few people in the kitchen at the time, but nobody seemed to notice the two little girls. Then the people rushed out of the room, leaving only Pearl and Phiona.
"Use your orb-telekinesis to get the cake down!" Pearl said, never once taking her eyes off the giant mother cake.
Phiona nodded and held out her hands. Little blue and white orbs flew from her hands and swirled around the cake, slowly pulling the giant cake towards them. "It's kinda heavy. I've never moved really heavy things before." Phiona said, as the cake wobbled in the air. The some of the orbs vanished from around the cake and it wobbled even more; one by one, the orbs began to disappear. "It's heavy and I'm getting tired!" Phiona whimpered.
"Try harder!" Pearl urged.
Piper walked over to Paige and Prue, who were having a conversation in the living room. "Paige? Prue? Have either of you seen the girls?" Piper asked.
Paige shook her head. "I left Pearl in her room after the wedding. But about five minutes ago I went to check on her and she wasn't there." Paige said, as she took a sip of her white wine.

Her dark brown, almost black, hair hung down over her shoulders.
"I thought I saw a glimpse of them running towards the kitchen, a few minutes ago." Prue said. Prue had let her long, raven black, wavy hair, hang down. She wore a casual baby blue dress that went slightly past her knees. She had on light blue, satin heels. Her nails were also done, especially for the wedding. They were light blue with a little white rose in the center of each nail. Her lips were reddish-pink color and she had no blush on.
"The kitchen? What could they possi...." Piper began, but her voice trailed off. 'The cake! Oh no, those girls are addicted to cake!' Piper thought. "The cake! Hurry, the kitchen, now!" Piper gasped.

"Well you have to ask before you get cake, you don't just use your powers to get cake!" Piper snapped. "You almost ruined Aunt Phoebe's wedding cake!" Piper added, her voice was more than angry.
Pearl and Phiona's lips began to quiver. They looked as though they were about to burst into tears.
Prue decided to step in. She took a step between her sisters and her nieces and then kneeled down to her nieces' eye level. "Now girls. You understand what you did was wrong, correct?" Prue asked.
Pearl and Phiona nodded, a few tears escaped their eyes.
"Now, now. No need for tears. I know you just wanted some cake. But you have to ask first. Plus, when we have a wedding cake, the bride and groom have to take the first bites of the cake." Prue explained. "Do you understand?" Prue asked.
"You mean Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Cole have to get some of the cake, first?" Pearl asked.
Prue nodded. "Now, I think it will be okay if you have some cake, after the bride and groom have some. But you have to promise to never do this again, okay?" Prue asked.
Pearl and Phiona nodded.
"Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye!" Pearl said. Then she made a cross over her heart with her finger and pointed to her eye.
"Me too!" Phiona agreed. She then tried to copy her cousin's motions, but accidently got them backwards. She poked her heart and crossed her eye.
Pearl started to giggle, but quickly stopped, as she noticed Paige's not so happy face.
Prue had to smile, her nieces were just too adorable. They often got into a lot of trouble, being the little witch-whitelighter-mortals that they were, but they were still adorable. Prue opened her arms. "Now, come give me a hug!" Prue said.
Pearl and Phiona grinned, then ran into their Aunt Prue's arms, and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Auntie Prue!" Pearl and Phiona exclaimed, in unison.
Moments later Prue let the girls go. "Now I want you to do one more thing for me." Prue said.
"Yes?" Pearl asked.
"Go give each of your mommies a hug too." Prue said. She looked each girl in the eyes.
Pearl nodded and walked up to Paige. She opened her arms.
Paige smiled and knelt down next to Pearl and hugged her.
"I'm sorry mommy, I just wanted some cake." Pearl apologized.
"I know sweetie. I know, it's okay. I shouldn't have snapped. I just got upset. I love you lots!" Paige replied.
Pearl smiled. "I love you lots too, mommy!" Pearl replied.
Phiona slowly walked up to Piper. "Mommy...I weal sowwy." Phiona mumbled.
Piper bent down and wrapped her arms around her daughter. "It's okay, baby, it's okay." Piper said, as she hugged Phiona. "I'm sorry too." Piper apologized.
"I wuv you!" Phiona whispered.
"I love you too, baby." Piper responded.
Prue stood up. "Now girls, run out there and find Aunt Phoebe. Ask her when we can have some of that yummy cake!" Prue said, with a grin.
Pearl and Phiona smiled, then took hands. "Okay!" The girls said in unison, as they bolted out the door.
"Thanks Prue." Piper and Paige said in unison.
"No problem, I think being an aunt is probably easier than being the mom." Prue replied.
"But you'll make a great mom someday." Paige said.
"Yeah, after all, you were a great mom to Phoebe and I." Piper added.
Prue smiled. "Thanks you two." Prue said, with a new sense of pride.
The three sisters shared a triple hug for a moment and then heard footsteps.
"Oh, that's probably Phoebe and Cole." Piper said.
"And the rest of the wedding." Paige added. She still didn't quite trust Cole, but had accepted the fact that he and Phoebe weren't breaking up any time soon, especially since Phoebe was now pregnant with Cole's child. Prue, too, was the same way.
The doors opened up and Phoebe walked in, followed by many other people from the wedding. "So, I hear the girls want cake?" Phoebe asked.
"Oh...yeah...really want cake." Paige replied.
Phoebe grinned. "Then let's give it to them!" Phoebe said. "Hey Cole, it's time to cut the cake!" Phoebe called.
Cole walked into the room and stood next to Phoebe. He waited as the rest of the guests gathered in the kitchen and then he took Phoebe's hand.
Together Phoebe and Cole cut the first slice of cake and each took a small piece. They linked arms and fed each other a piece of cake.
A roar of clapping filled the room, with a few woo hoos, yays, and congrats.
Phoebe took her plate, fork, and piece of cake and walked out into the living room, followed closely by Cole, with his own plate, fork, and piece of cake.
Pearl and Phiona rushed up to Piper and Phoebe. "Now can we have some cake?!" Pearl and Phiona begged, in unison.
Prue nodded. "Just a moment, girls, I'll get it for you." Prue answered. She walked over to the cake and grabbed 2 plates. She carefully cut out to slices of cake and placed a slice on each plate. Then handed each girl a plate.
Phiona looked down at the plate and frowned. Then the she looked up at the table and saw the plastic forks. She held out her hand and orbs shot from her palm. The orbs surrounded 2 forks and pulled them to her. She grabbed one fork out of the air.
"Pearl, da fork." Phiona said.
Pearl nodded and grabbed the fork from the air, then watched the orbs disappear. "Thanks." Pearl said, as she dug into her first bite of cake.
Piper frowned. "Phiona, powers?" Piper questioned.
Phiona blushed. "Ooops?" Phiona asked, innocently.
Prue patted Piper on the shoulder and shook her head. "Lighten up and thank God, that it was only forks." Prue said.
Piper nodded in agreement and let out a sigh. 'Magical children are so much work...But I guess in the end, it is all worth it.' Piper thought. "So, when do we get our cake?" Piper asked.
Paige smirked. "Yeah, I'm craving cake here!" Paige said, in a playful tone.
Prue rolled her eyes and returned to the cake. She sliced 3 more pieces of cake, placed them on 3 different plates, grabbed 3 forks, and then telekinetically sent a plate to Piper and Paige. "If we can't beat 'em, then join 'em!" Prue said. Then she took a bite of her cake.
Pearl and Phiona burst out the door of the kitchen with their plates of cake, probably to go find some other kind of trouble to get themselves into.
Prue shrugged. "Come on, let's go." Prue said, as she lead Piper and Paige out the door.
As Prue, Piper, and Paige reached the living room there is a crackling of electricity and a demon appears.
The demon has a kind of blue skin and purple markings on his body. His eyes are like small slits and they are deep purple. Electricity forms in his hands and he scans the room, spotting Phiona. He lets a bolt of energy from his palm which wraps around Phiona and jolts electricity through her. But the energy doesn't disappear. It acts like a rope and then he pulls her to him, all the while shocking her.
Piper screams. "No! Let her go!" Piper yelled. She flicked her wrists, in an attempt to explode the creature, but it only wounds him. Piper raises her hands again, this time trying to freeze the creature. He seems to freeze for a moment and then breaks out of the freeze.
As he finally grabs Phiona with his hands, he shocks her one more time, making her black out. Then he disappears with Phiona, in the same crackle of energy in which he came. TO BE CONTINUED....
