Disclaimer: I don't own charmed.
It was almost morning. Paige had fallen asleep next to the book of shadows, while Piper went to her room to sleep; Wyatt was also sleeping in his room. Chris was one of the first ones up. He walked into the kitchen and saw Stephanie. She was standing on a chair trying to reach for the pancake mix.
"Are you hungry?" Chris asked
Stephanie turned around and jumped off the chair "they don't let us eat what we want, in the prison" Stephanie told him
"I'll make you some pancakes if you want" Chris offered
Stephanie nodded
Chris got the pancake mix and started to mix the ingredients together. The ten-year-old sat quietly waiting for the pancakes to be done. When the pancakes were done Chris set the two plates of pancakes on the table. Stephanie wasted no time and began to eat her pancakes.
"What's it like in that prison?" Chris asked
"All you eat is gruel. You have to fight for a decent bed and you get to do hard labor" Stephanie explained between chews
"Why would Aunt Phoebe send you to such an awful place?"
"Because she was afraid history might repeat itself" Stephanie said
"What do you mean?" Chris asked
"My father was a demon. So my mother was afraid that I would turn evil and try to destroy you guys. I admit I was out of control with my powers but that was no excuse. She was just afraid, afraid that I might be like my father." Stephanie said
"Oh I see. It was because of her history with Cole that made her afraid. She didn't want to make the same mistake twice and endanger her family again." Chris said
Stephanie shrugged and finished her pancakes.
"Why don't you want to be charmed?" Chris asked
"I want to but, I don't think mom will be happy if I do"
"Mm. I smell pancakes" Wyatt yawned as he came in the kitchen.
"There's some in the pan." Chris said
Wyatt grabbed his breakfast and joined them at the table "So you think mom will let us get charmed and everything? I mean we did kinda prove ourselves when we save them from the Lycus wolf guy" Wyatt said
"I don't know." Chris answered
"It would be kinda cool if they did let us." Stephanie said
After they finished their breakfast and washed the dishes, they decided to go outside and play some soccer. While they were playing, the charmed ones and Priss were upstairs in the attic. Paige and Phoebe were sitting down in chairs, while Piper was pacing up and down. Priss was lying down on the floor.
"Piper we shouldn't have to give up our powers." Paige said
"Don't you think you're being a little dramatic? Besides it's just the title you're giving up, not your powers" Priss said
"I like being a Charmed one and now the elders are asking me to give that up to a bunch of kids!" Paige exclaimed
"Oh come on! I was only eleven when I helped you guys defeat Gideon." Priss pointed out
"That was completely different" Paige retorted
"Okay, enough!" Piper interrupted the argument
"Honestly I don't mind giving up my title. It would be nice to relax from the whole saving lives job" Phoebe said
"Phoebe how can you say that?" Paige asked
"There's nothing wrong with asking for help, Paige. If you guys do decide to do this then maybe we'll have a good advantage against this new evil. I think the kids can handle it." Priss said
"Okay I think I got it. We'll vote" Piper said
"All right, whoever thinks we should charm the kids raise your hand" Phoebe said as she raised her hand
Piper and Priss also raised their hands. Paige crossed her arms "Well I guess it's anonymous" She said.
"That's it then, we'll wait for Leo to come tonight before we tell the kids." Piper said
"Okay" Phoebe said.
Then the day continued like normal. Phoebe and Paige went to their jobs, Piper made lunch and Priss was looking for a job in the newspapers. At nine- thirty Phoebe and Paige came home to find everyone, including Leo, in the Living room.
"The moment of truth" Paige sighed as she and Phoebe sat down.
"Have you guys made your decision?" Leo asked
"Yes we have." Piper looked at her two sisters "We decided to give up our role as the Charmed ones."
"Really?" Wyatt said
"Yeah. We think you kids can handle it" Paige said
"Let's go to the attic and make this official" Priss said
They all walked up to the attic and opened the book of shadows.
"Uh, we're going to have to slightly change the spell" Paige said
"Yeah, especially the part where it says 'sisters'" Phoebe said
after alternating the spell a bit, Wyatt, Chris and Stephanie stood in front of the book of shadows and spoke the spell together:
Hear now the words of the witches
The secrets we hid in the night
The oldest of gods are invoked here
The great work of magic is sought
In the night and in this hour
I call upon the ancient power
Bring your powers to we cousins' three
We want the power
Give us the power
The wind began to howl and balls of white light came out of the former charmed ones and into the new ones. "Whoa! That was awesome" Wyatt said
"So what now?" Stephanie asked
"Check and see if you got any new powers" Leo said.
"Uh" Chris said
"Um, try freezing something honey" Piper told Chris
Chris faced Leo and motioned his hands to freeze. Leo wasn't moving.
"Did it work?" Piper asked
"I'm not sure" Leo muttered
"Leo why aren't you frozen" Paige asked
"It seems only my insides are frozen" He said
The freeze wore off after a minute. Wyatt was able to move items like Paige could and after about an hour, the found out that Stephanie could levitate. Paige discovered that she still had her powers. Phoebe and Piper could still use their powers as well.
"Ok Leo they're charmed now. What are these special powers the elders promised?" Phoebe asked
"Uh..." Leo said
"I can go for a soda, how about you Chris?" Wyatt asked
"Yeah. A soda would be great" Chris said
Just then two mountain dew cans came levitating into the room and stopped in front of Wyatt. "Cool" Stephanie said
