"Where's Phoebe?" Paige asked to Piper.
"She's been in her room since Asha left yesterday." Said Piper worriedly
"Haven't she even come down to eat?" asked Paige
"Not that I know... I haven't seen her. And I tried to go in her room but she locked the door and she wouldn't open it"
"Let's orb in" Paige suggested
"Orb where?" said Phoebe interrupting them as she entered the kitchen.
"You finally decided to come down" said Piper with a smile as she and Paige gave Phoebe a hug.
They all sat down with their coffees listening to Phoebe blab about how suspicious Martha is.
"Pheebs you sure you're just no jealous?" Paige interrupted Phoebe
"Well... maybe... a little"
Paige gave her a –yea right! Sarcastic look-
"Well.. okay.. maybe a lot! but still, I don't trust her." Said Phoebe
"What do you plan to do?" asked Piper
"I'm gonna get him back" said Phoebe full of determination
"I think I saw this before.... only at that time it was the other way around" said Paige recalling how Cole did everything to get Phoebe back.
"Well sister it's gonna happen again, and this time, our love will win." Said Phoebe with a scheming look.
"Phoebe... what are you thinking?" Piper asked suspiciously
"I'm gonna get my man back" said Phoebe as she stood up from her sit.
"Paige could you please orb my purse here" said Phoebe then she called for "Chris!!" Phoebe went upstairs to get her purse then she called for Chris.
"I want to see Asha and Cole" said Phoebe as Chris materialized and Paige handed her, her bag. "Thanks" she said to Paige
"But they are going out" said Chris to Phoebe
"Then I'll go with them" said Phoebe
"They're going out with Martha" said Chris
"So what?!"
"So their going out with Martha" said Chris trying to make her aunt understand
"Don't care" said Phoebe as she grabbed Chris' hand.
"You go girl!" Paige shouted as Phoebe and Chris orb out.
"Do you have to go somewhere?" asked Piper to Paige
"Nope, why?"
"I have to go to the grocery is it okay if you look after Wyatt and Chris while I'm gone?"
"No problem!"
Piper went to the grocery store and Paige went upstairs to check on her two nephews.
After an hour....
"Paige! Paige!" Piper called as she entered the manor. She dropped all the stuff she bought from the store to look for Paige. "Paige! Where are you?" As Piper kept on calling for Paige she peeked into her room to find Leo sitting in the bed with Wyatt and Chris in his hands watching cartoons.
"What are you doing here?" asked Piper
"I thought you said you wanted me back" Leo stated casually.
"I'm confused"
"Don't be"
"Leo could we please talk, NOW!" Piper demanded. Leo placed Chris in his crib and Wyatt in the middle of the bed watching **Barney**. He headed into the hallway where Piper is.
"What the hell are you saying?" Piper asked as soon as Leo came out, "And where the hell is Paige?"
"Matt called so I told Paige to just go"
"Okay... now my other question"
"I'm not going to be an elder anymore"
"Huh?!"
"Well...." Leo started explaining and telling her what happened
= = Flash back = =
Prue was talking with one of the Elders while Leo is seated with the others having a conference.
Elder 1: "Why are you not cooperating?" Leo: "Oh, I'm sorry I was ... uh... lost in my thoughts" Elder 2: "What is happening to you?" Leo: "You all know very well that though I am honoured to be here... I am far away from being happy" Prue came in.... Prue: "He was much more of help when he was still a white lighter, huh?" Elder 3: "What are you suggesting Ms. Haliwell?" Leo: "I think she suggest for me to be a white lighter again" Prue: "Actually I was just suggesting to let him where his heart desires to be... Then surely his cooperation would be more dependable"
The Elders looked at Leo
Leo: "I wan't to be back with my family" Elder 3: "We cannot just take it away" Leo: "There is always a way" Elder 4: "But being an elder is your reward" Leo: "Well I don't want it." Elder 3: "But we can't take it away it's against the rules" Leo: "Those are all our rules" Prue: "Or rather their rules" eyeing at all the other elders except Leo Elder 1: "What are you implying?" Prue: "Why don't you try bending your rules." "I agree with her" said the kid Elder whom the Halliwell's have once helped.
= = End of flash back = =
"So what? Your not an elder anymore... just like that?" asked Piper surprised but still confused
"Me being an elder is just a burden since I've been doing nothing even if I am it's against my will" said Leo
"Oh my god... I can't... I can't believe this!" Piper said as she started crying and hugged Leo tightly.
"So where do you want to go sweetie?" asked Phoebe to Asha "Carnival!!" Asha replied enthusiastically
"Carnival it is" said Cole
"I thought Martha is coming with you?" asked Chris
"She is" said Cole happily as Phoebe gave out a glare.
At the Carnival...
"Hey Cole want some" Martha offered a popcorn. As Cole was about to get some
"Is that butter?" asked Phoebe
"Actually it's cheese" said Martha
"Cole isn't it that you don't eat cheesy popcorn" said Phoebe. With that Cole paused and decided not to get any.
"Mommy... mommy let's go at the Ferris wheel!" Asha exclaimed
"Okay sweetie!" Phoebe stood up at once feeling proud about the popcorn thing.
Asha and Phoebe sat together at the Ferris wheel as Cole watched them with Martha at his side.
"Did you enjoy?" asked Cole to Asha once they came back
"Yea!" Asha said happily
"Why don't we go to the tunnel of love" Martha said with a seducing tone to Cole
"That's too mushy" Phoebe bat in
"I now, how about the carousel!" Asha suggested
"The carousel it is" said Phoebe
"Come on you two let's go" Phoebe said to Cole and Martha.
...At the carousel...
"What are you trying to do?" asked Chris who's seated at the next horse from Phoebe
"What do you mean?" asked Phoebe innocently
"You're doing a scheme aren't you?" Chris asked
"It runs in the family" Phoebe giggled as he recalled the time when none had the idea that Chris is Piper's second son.
"Now you see why I'm so good at plans and schemes" said Chris
"Are you telling me I'm the one who influenced you in the future?" asked Phoebe
"I'm not saying anything!" said Chris with his hands in a form of surrender.
"Do you guys want some soup" said Martha as they walk down from the carousel
"It's burning hot... why don't we just get some ice cream" Phoebe said
"Yay! Ice cream!!" Asha said enthusiastically
Cole not knowing what to say he whispered to Martha "We'll just get soup later" trying to comfort her on what Phoebe is doing
Chris is right behind them trying not to burst into laughter on what in the world his aunt is doing.
"What flavour do you want Cole?" asked Martha
"This is your favourite right?" Phoebe confirmed as he handed Cole two scoops of his favourite.
"Yea" Cole smiled, and Martha making sure no one is looking glared.
.... After a few hours...
"I think I want to go home" said Martha eyeing on Cole
"Are you tired?" asked Cole to Martha
"Hey, come on, one last ride before we go!" said Phoebe
"Bump car!!" Asha squealed
"Come on Martha one last ride!" said Phoebe
"Are we going to be in the same car?" asked Martha with a flirty while their on the line
"It's our turn... I think we all could enjoy better if we have separate cars" said Phoebe hearing what Martha had said earlier
"Asha's with me so you three could have separate ones" said Chris helping his aunt on what ever it is she's trying to do. In the ride Chris has been bumping on Cole to get his attention, Chris and Asha has been bumping him as far away from Martha as possible. While Phoebe bumps her car to Martha's until she's cornered and can't move the car anymore.
---Eeeeeeee---- the buzzer rang, the ride ends.
Phoebe got of her car and laughed with Chris and Asha.
"That was fun!" said Asha
"Did you enjoy?" asked Cole concerned at Martha
"Oh yeah!" Martha said a little sarcastically
Chris hearing it gave out a little more laugh, and so did Phoebe
.... At the Manor....
"So you're back for good?!" Paige asked
Leo nodded. Chris orbed in with Phoebe
"Hey, how did it go?" asked Piper as Phoebe and Chris materialize
"It was great" said Phoebe happily, then laughed and soon joined by Chris
"Why what happened? Give us the details!" said Paige
"Wait a second.. is it just me or it seems that every body here is happy.. VERY happy." Said Phoebe
Before anybody could answer. "Hey, gotta go!" said Chris, "I'd orb here to get you if Martha comes" said Chris knowing that's what Phoebe is about to say. Then he orbed out.
"Something tells me I'm missing something" said Phoebe
"I'm back" said Leo
"His not an elder anymore" said Paige
"Whoa!!" Phoebe hugged her brother in law. "How did it happen?"
Piper told Phoebe the whole story.
---that night---
knock knock!
"Come in" said Phoebe, "Hey Paige, what's on your mind?" asked Phoebe as she saw Paige come in.
"Well, Matt told me something"
"About?"
"Martha"
"What about her?" said Phoebe with more interest
"Well, Matt told me that Cole used to court her"
"Well, I already know that part"
"Yea but you see, according to Matt, Martha didn't like Cole as much as she does now."
"Could she be a demon?"
"Whose the demon?" Piper interrupted hearing Phoebe
"Martha" said Phoebe
"Why?"
"Well according to Matt, Martha didn't like Cole as much as she does now." Paige repeated
"And that makes her a demon?" said Piper
"Well if you think about it. At the time that Cole was courting her no could sense Asha's power, and now, well what a coincidence that just when everybody could sense Asha, she comes back with a whole new interest with my man!!"
"Your man!" Piper sarcastically said, Phoebe glared at her
"Phoebe he WAS your man" Piper corrected her
"Well he will be again! Sheesh you don't give that much support as your son does!" said Phoebe
"So what happened?" asked Paige
"Well..." Phoebe started telling them all about what happened in the carnival.
Hahahhhaaahaa........ Piper and Paige laughed.
"Paige what's wrong?" Phoebe became serious all of a sudden feeling that Paige is a sad but trying to hide it. "Nothing" Paige lied
"Your not that good of a liar you know" said Piper
"Well it's just that... Matt... his different, I mean we did talk, about Martha and Cole then after that he was silent then he told me that he would be going back to his apartment which is near by Cole's... meaning it's a 5 hour drive!"
"You can always orb at Cole's then go to Matt's place" said Piper
"Wait, that's not it, there is something else" said Phoebe looking at Paige
"I can't hide anything to you huh!" said Paige
"Spill it!" said Phoebe
"His ex-fiancé is coming for a visit" said Paige
"Was he the one who told you that?" asked Piper, Paige nodded.
"Well then you have nothing to worry coz his being honest" said Piper
"But still, they nearly got married and well, they probably still have a thing for each other" said Paige
"Uh! Jealousy!" said Phoebe
"Could you stop with your empath thing for a while!" said Paige
"No Paige, I think even without empath powers it's obvious, especially to Phoebe who's feeling the same way!" said Piper and giggled
"Ha, ha very funny!" said Phoebe sarcastically
"Why don't you just go out with your man and stop teasing us!!" said Paige
"Paige why don't you invite Matt for dinner or lunch tomorrow?" Piper suggested
"Would you help me cook?" asked Paige
"Oh sure" said Piper
Piper saw Phoebe in deep thought... "What you wanna invite Cole?" asked Piper
"Nah! It'll be a little too obvious, I'm planning to be a little hard to get" said Phoebe with a grin
"Your planning ditch Martha out of the picture, get him back and play hard to get all at the same time?" Piper asked not being able to believe it
Phoebe nodded with a smile.
"Now you see where Chris learned to be a great master mind" said Paige
---The next morning--- Chris orbed in. "Hey!" greeted Phoebe as Chris materialize
"Martha and Cole has a dinner date tomorrow" Chris reported to Phoebe
"Pick me up tomorrow night then"
"You are not planning on tagging along with them at their date are you?"
"Of course not! I have another plan"
"Whew! That's a relief, where's mom?"
"In the kitchen"
"Hey there little guy!" said Leo as he carried baby Chris from the crib.
Chris saw Leo playing with his baby self in the living room. He saw himself laughing as Leo do funny faces and tickles him.
"Hey Chris!" Paige greeted as she saw Chris by the stairs.
"Oh hey!"
"Here to report on Phoebe?" Paige teased
"I already did"
Paige looked at where Chris is looking at, Leo with baby Chris, Paige looked at big Chris and saw him smiling.
******* Sorry it took so long! I'm still in vacation so just hold on for the next chapter!**********
"She's been in her room since Asha left yesterday." Said Piper worriedly
