A/N: Just in case I wasn't clear, here is a complete explanation on Grace's mind blocking power:

She can tune in and tune out of people's thoughts. The Halliwells perform a mind blocking spell when they want/need privacy, but sometimes they do a ritual, as mind blocking spells wear off. Rituals aren't as effective though. Okay! On with the story! OH YEAAAAAAAH! ONE MORE THING! I decided to give Wyatt an extra power – he can put up a shield, just like when he was a baby. It gives him something over Melinda, you see.

And whoever asked, you shall see why Grace gets sent away ( I have some plans for her.

*The Look*

After breakfast Jamie, Charlotte and Serena were in the den. 'I'm bored.' Jamie complained. 'There's nothing to do today.'

'What do we usually do?' Serena pondered.

'Well...' Charlotte hesitated. 'I can't remember.'

'What can we do then?' Jamie whined.

'Play witches, whitelighters and demons?' Serena suggested. It was her favourite game.

'Okay!' Charlotte brightened. Witches, Whitelighters and Demons (or WWD as Andy, Glen, Cole and Leo fondly dubbed it since it was like wrestling, only with less wrestle and more magic) was also her favourite game.

'Aw.' Jamie sighed. He ALWAYS lost at WWD since his powers weren't quite as advanced as the other two.

'Oh stop whining.' Serena chided him. 'You won't get better at magic if you don't practice. And this game gives you more practice than we have naps.'

Jamie sighed again. 'Fi-ine. But not if you're going to be bossy.'

'Bossy? ME?' Serena looked confused. 'What do you mean? I'M not bossy. It must be someone else. You must be crumpets me.'

'I think she means confused.' Charlotte translated. Serena didn't quite have the knack for words as Charlotte did. In fact, Charlotte could talk better than all of them. 'A crumpet is food Rena.' Charlotte added.

Serena rolled her eyes, which was rather alarming on a three year old. 'Whatever.' She told her, mimicking her cousin Grace. 'Like I would crumpet a word with FOOD Charlotte Halliwell Trooooody.' She stretched out the non- existent O.

'IT'S TRUDEAU!' Jamie and Charlotte both exclaimed.

'Whatever! You two need to calm down. Breathe more.' Serena advised. She put her hands on her hips. 'Now are we going to play or what?'

* *

'Moving? They're making you MOVE?'

'Not move stupid.' Claire Longley rolled her eyes at Nicole, another friend of Grace's.

'I'm not stupid.'

'Whatever. Weren't you paying attention? They were sending her to boarding school, duh.' Claire sighed and played with a blond strand of hair.

'I knew that.' Nicole said defensively.

Grace sighed. Sometimes Claire and Nicole's arguments got a little out of hand. It made the rest of the group get a bit fed up with the two.

'I'm really going to miss you Gracie.' Declared Amanda, throwing her arms round Grace. 'You just can't leave can you?'

'Yeah it's wrong to uproot you like that.' Agreed Belinda in disgust.

'I know...' Grace sighed again and hugged Amanda back. 'But we can still keep in touch, can't we?'

'You mean like, instant messaging?' Asked Zoë. She was a bit of a ditz sometimes, just like Nicole. It didn't matter though – Grace's best, best, best friend out of the entire group was Amanda.

'Well yeah.' Grace said then hesitated. 'But we might not always be on at the same time.'

'Would they let you use MSN at boarding school?' Nicole asked curiously. 'I mean, my cousin got sent to a boarding school in Mississippi and she had like, no Internet access except for school. The school didn't even have ICQ or AIM!'

Everyone gasped. 'Not even AIM?' Belinda looked shocked.

'But that's prehistoric!' Claire cried.

'We'll never speak to you again?' Zoë was traumatized. 'Ohmigod!'

'There is always Snail Mail.' Grace commented. 'That must be allowed, surely, no matter how old fashioned the school is.'

There was silence in the group. Then Amanda threw an arm around Grace's shoulders. 'Don't worry Gracie. No matter how much I hate writing, I'll still keep in touch, even if it is Snail Mail.'

The other girls still looked doubtful. 'Maybe we could buy phones and SMS each other?' Suggested Zoë.

'Way too much money. We'll write.' Amanda said firmly. She was the leader of the group, and then came Grace.

'Well...'

'Thanks you guys. You're the best.' Grace interrupted, before anyone could back out. 'And I bet you I'll come back every holiday and weekend. We can definitely hang out then.'

* *

'So, who are you?' Serena demanded of Jamie.

'I'm the demon.' Jamie said in a flat voice. 'As always.'

'Uh huh. And Char who are you?'

'I'm the whitelighter!' Charlotte said with a sigh. 'Like I always am. All I do is heal. And orb. And heal. And orb.'

'Right, which leaves me to be witch.' Said Serena proudly. 'Let's play.'

Jamie and Charlotte exchanged glances. Charlotte shrugged at Jamie's death glare. No matter if she was a whitelighter, it was still her favourite game, and if Jamie made a fuss Serena might not want to play. Which also meant there wouldn't be enough people for the game.

Jamie shook his head. He wasn't going to put up with this any longer. 'Charlotte and I don't want to be the same ones again.'

'What?' Serena asked in a shocked voice. 'What do you mean?'

'I'd like to be a witch.' Charlotte clarified in a small voice. 'And so would Jamie. Please.'

'How can you say that? I'M the witch.'

'You're always the witch. And 'sides, we have better powers than you.' Jamie said defensively.

Serena's jaw dropped. 'How dare you! Fine! See if I care! Go ahead and be witches.' Serena sniffed. 'But I'm not playing, so I don't know how you'll do it.'

Charlotte's face fell. 'Jamie! Now look what you did.'

Jamie remained stubborn. 'We can still play Char.' He whispered, and then spoke up more loudly. 'Let's go play then Charlotte.' He grabbed her hand and orbed her to the playroom.

* *

Serena crept to the door of the playroom and peeked round it. She could see and overhear the game Charlotte and Jamie were playing.

'There's a demon!' Jamie cried, pointing at a stuffed rabbit. 'Get it Char!'

Charlotte held her hand out at it, and made it fly across the room.

Jamie laughed gleefully then thought for a moment. 'I will tie you up.' He decided. 'So then you can try and free yourself. Because it's like practice, right?'

Charlotte nodded and let Jamie tie her to a chair.

'Okay, the bad guy is...' Jamie rounded on the stuffed rabbit again. 'That's the baddie who tied you up.'

'But you did.' Charlotte said logically.

'Pretend he did.' Jamie said impatiently.

'Fine, don't need to go all huffy puffy.'

'Char!' Jamie whined.

'Okay, okay!' Charlotte squinted her eyes at the rabbit, shooting it even further across the playroom. Then she Astral Projected and untied her unconscious self.

Jamie laughed gleefully and did the same thing Charlotte had done when she tied him up. 'Let's show mommy and daddy when they get home.'

Serena felt her eyes welling with tears as she stormed into the room. 'You're not even playing properly!' She accused, pointing at them.

Jamie turned to look at her. 'Yes we are.'

'No! I invented the game, I should know!'

'This isn't a game.' Charlotte explained. 'This is practicing our powers. But more fun than Witches, Whitelighters and Demons because we can be whoever we want to be.'

'And nobody will boss us around.' Jamie chimed in bravely.

Serena let out a growl. 'I'll show you who has the bestest power!' She cried, referring to when Jamie had said they had better powers.

'You're on!' Jamie declared, facing her just as cowboys did in old movies.

Serena narrowed her eyes and Charlotte backed away from the two of them.

'You guys...' Charlotte looked at the two hesitantly. 'You guys!'

'Close your meatballs!' Serena told her.

'Mouth!' Charlotte told her, annoyed.

Serena wasn't even paying attention now. She held out a hand. 'Plasticine Ruler!'

'Plastic!' Shrieked Charlotte more annoyed than ever. It was really tiring for her to constantly correct Serena's English. Besides, what if they were in battle one day and Serena called for a parrot instead of a potion? Not that she was actually that stupid but still, you never knew.

'Plastic ruler.' Serena said quickly. A clear plastic ruler orbed into her hand.

Almost a second later, Jamie held out his hand and whipped the ruler out of her hand and across the room.

'Jamie!' Serena whined. She orbed behind him.

Jamie orbed out of the room then Astral Projected and ran back in where orbs were forming into Serena.

'Candle stick!' Cried Serena. She ran towards him, ready to head butt him but Jamie ended his Astral Projection. In the next room there was a thump, a cry and then sobbing.

'Mommy!!!' Charlotte orbed downstairs. 'Someone! Jamie and Serena are magic- fighting!'

Paige appeared and orbed upstairs with Charlotte, behind Serena. She grabbed Serena's arms and pinned them behind her back. 'Serena Halliwell Belland, stop this at once!'

Serena whirled around, surprised to see her mother. 'Mommy!' She sobbed. 'I ran into the shelf mommy!'

'How did that happen?' Paige asked sternly. 'Charlotte, get Andy please.'

Charlotte orbed out and then orbed back in with Andy, who picked up Jamie to inspect him for any injuries.

'Jamie made fun of my magic!' Serena sniffled as Paige orbed the large bump on her head. 'So we had a magic duel to see who's was better.'

'Serena! You know magic isn't a toy!'

'But how come we're allowed to play WWD?' Jamie asked.

'That is practice. It's not as dangerous as this.' Andy told him.

'But this was just like a different type of WWD!' Jamie protested.

'Is that so? Well then maybe you shouldn't be playing WWD.'

Charlotte's bottom lip quivered.

'Now you two aren't allowed to use any magic for the next two weeks UNLESS there's some kind of evil or innocent protection in order.' Andy told them. 'Jamie, come on. Up to your room.' Andy carried Jamie out of the room.

'Mommy? You aren't mad at ME are you?' Serena opened her eyes wide.

Paige gave her a Look. Charlotte shuddered. She hated The Look. 'Nice try.' Paige said, shaking her head.
