Disclaimer: I don't own everything, only Dan (Binxs), his parents and the other people that you don't recognize. The stuff you do recognize belongs to the WB. Also I'm gonna explain something so I don't get yelled at for it later on. I know the show already in the series there was already a Chosen One, and he sealed up an evil witch in "That old black magic" season 2, However, let me explain this to you, I had already created my Charmed Character and decide to call him the Chosen One 4 episodes after the show started, a whole season before the "That old black magic" episode. Even after I saw that episode I decided not to change the name it just didn't feel right. So if anyone has a problem with it so great that you feel you may die cause it's in this let me know if not enjoy this fic. I worked hard on it and it was my first fic I just never posted it cause I wanted to fix the grammar in the thing. I'm very proud of it and hope you all like it. Thanks and please review! (and if anyone has any other questions just write them in a review and I'll do my best to answer them in the next chapter.)
Thanks Clear Shadow, Ukume, Trunks, and Demon for their reviews. I hope too hear from all of you!!!!

"I'll bet my Jeter card that he cant!"
"I'll bet my Clemmins and Vaughn card that he can and will!"
"You know 'he' is right here!" Dan Burmen said stepping in between the two boys argueing.
"Hiya Binxs." They both said in unison, 9-year-old Dan nicknamed Binxs, rolled up the sleeves too his black long sleeved tee shirt and folded his arms across his chest.
"So what are you two bettin on me for?" he asked with a grin "cause I'll step in the bet if your both givin up your prize cards."
"Well Tony thinks you can't pick the lock too get into the kitchen and snag some food." Binxs rolled his eyes again
"You know last time I checked that was called breaking and entering with an intent too plunder." The other kids looked at him confused. "What do I get out of this bet?" Binxs said not wanting to explain himself "besides food?" he knew very well he could get into the kitchen, heck he could pick any of the locks on the homes grounds, he could even pick the huge padlock that was put on the gate at night.
"If you do it Binxs, I'll give you my box of cards, including my Poke'mon cards. All 30 of them." Binxs considered this offer for a moment.
"I don't know, seems like I'm gonna be getting gypped out something that I could get really busted for." He grinned "what else?"
"I'll give you my Jeter card, and an Indian head nickel." Binxs grinned
"Ok it's a deal." He said and shook both Tony and Roger's hands. Binxs calmly shoved his hands in his pockets and causally walked over too the red door that led into the kitchen. The cook, Nan, was really nice and always made sure that the kids had plenty. Which wasn't an easy task when your one cook cooking too feed over 120 kids. Glancing at his watch Binxs made sure that it was 4:00, Nan would be taking her break before it was time too cook dinner. As he reached into his pocket too pull out a small screwdriver, Binxs's mind wandered, apart of him was wondering what she was cooking for dinner, he felt his stomach growing with anticipation. As he began picking the lock another thought crossed his mind, he wasn't sure where it came from, he felt strange, a feeling that something was about to happen. The lock clicked, and looking back Binxs saw a crowd had gathered. Everyone knew Binxs, even though he was only 9 he got along with everyone, even the older kids. They knew he would back down from a bet, unless that bet was life threatening, which was, considering the nature of breaking into the Home kitchen and possible disturbing Nan during her nap a possible life threatening action, Binxs knew he couldn't stop now. He pushed the door open and quietly snuck in. The kitchen was empty of human life. Nan's parakeet sat in his cage perched on the highest perch watching Binxs intently.
"Hey Bugsy what's up?" Binxs whispered with a grin. His blue eyes surveyed the kitchen and found what he was looking for, a package of Oreos sitting open on the counter. Binxs's grin widened and he crept over to the package.
"Dan what are you doing?" a female voice filled the room. Binxs froze
"Hi Nan." He said, Nan was a medium built women, with ginger colored hair and a lot of lipstick. In one hand she had a romance novel, in the other pair of glasses.
"Now I know you didn't sneak in here on another bet too steal some cookies." She said
"No I er just wanted too see if you'd like some help with dinner."
"I know you, you little mooch."
"Mooch?" Binxs said "me?" Nan grinned and hugged Dan
"Oh I cant get mad at you darling." She said "But I'd really wish you'd stop proving the locks around this place are outdated."
"Well if I don't prove it some random bugler is gonna."
"And you think that someone is going to break into my kitchen is that it? Is my cooking that valuable?"
"Hey nothing can beat your cooking Nan." She rolled her eyes and handed him a cookie.
"You know someday that 9 year old sweetness isn't going to get you a cookie from me."
"Your right, cause I wont be here much longer." Nan looked at him sadly.
"Dan, you keep on having that spirit."
"No Nan I'm serious, I've got a gut feelin I aint gonna be livin here much longer." She hugged him again.
"Tell you what if your really keen on helping old Nan cook dinner you can start by stacking the bread." Binxs grinned
"Please tell me that means we're havin spaghetti tonight!" she pinched his cheek and Binxs groaned "Nan!"
"Yes that means we're having spaghetti, now before you wash your hands put that pot on the stove and don't touch the dials, I don't need too be callin the fire department." Bixns grinned
"Its not like they don't know the address. They probably have us on speed dial I know Mrs. Hamilton has them on speed dial." He said walking over to the pantry where the gigantic cooking pot sat. "So when are you planning on cooking people in this thing?" he said
"That's very funny, not till Halloween you know that."
"Oh yeah I want to get cooked on my birthday."
"As you wish." She said and turned her attention back to stirring the sauce in a smaller pot. Binxs reached down and picked up the gigantic cooking pot, he struggled against its weight, as it was nearly as big as him. Suddenly Binxs felt pulled back, a image flashed across his mind, something he had never seen or felt before. He saw Nan lifting the pot full of spaghetti off the stove then suddenly the pot tipped because it was laid too close to the edge of the table, it tipped and all the spaghetti fell too the floor. Binxs blinked as he looked around and saw he was still in the kitchen, the pot still in his hands. He looked down at it staring in shock, what had just happened too him? "Are you going too stare at that all night or are you going too give it too me so I can cook dinner sweetie?" Binxs shook his head and carried the pot over too Nan. "Dan are you feeling ok, your pale hon."
"I'm fine, uh on second thought, I'm not really in a cooking mood, I….I think I'm going to go lay down or something."
"Go ahead, land sakes don't need you sick before dinner." Binxs slowly left the kitchen and headed back too his friends.
"Hey did Nan catch you?" someone asked
"If she did she fed him look he got an Oreo."
"Man how do you do it kid?" Binxs took a deep breath and tried too block out the people talking too him.
That night at dinner Binxs anxiously awaited too see if what he saw was real or just a daydream. When dinner still wasn't out by 10 past, he was beginning to get nervous. Finally Nan came out of the kitchen, her white apron was stained with spaghetti sauce. She walked over to Mrs. Hamilton the director of the home and whispered something too her and Binxs knew he was right.
"Children. I apologize for the delay in dinner, however Nan just informed me that there was a small accident with supper. Luckily she had backup just in case, however it is just cereal. She promises a marvelous dinner tomorrow night too make up for this one. After dinner if those scheduled for kitchen cleanup for this week would head too the kitchen and help Nan clean up it would be greatly appreciated. Binxs looked over at his friend Roger.
"I feel bad for those on kitchen duty this week." Roger said
"Yeah think about it, enough spaghetti to feed 120 kids and 15 adults?" Binxs said not thinking "it must look like a bomb exploded in there, not too mention that pot must have sent it flying all over the place when it fell." Roger stared at him
"How do you know the pot fell over?" Roger asked, Binxs pretended not too hear him as a bowl of cereal was placed in front of him and he began eating.

"She did? For how long? And how long was it supposed to be until? Till he's 13, ok thanks, yup you too." Piper hung up the phone and turned too Phoebe who was looking at her anxiously from the kitchen table.
"Well?"
"Well, according too Wendy Blake who made arrangements with Grams 7 years ago about Dan."
"What kind of arrangements?"
"Grams must have hoped that she would be able to take Dan when he was a little older, she planned on taking him a few years after Pam and Max's deaths,"
"What I don't get is why Grams didn't bring him home in the first place, and why she didn't tell us about Pam." Piper shrugged
"I can't even begin to guess, anyways, Mrs. Blake says that Dan was going to remain under Gram's custody until he reaches 13, after that h becomes warranted to the state of California." Phoebe nodded
"So why don't we go get him?"
"Because when Dan was transferred too a new caseworker she neglected to tell Wendy where Dan is now."
"Isn't it their job too keep track off all that stuff?" Piper shrugged.
"Supposedly."
"So basically we're back too where we started" Phoebe said "with nothing." There was a knock at the door and the sound of the door opening.
"Hello anyone home?" a guys voice said "its unlocked." Piper stood up and looked out into the foyer,
"Hi Leo"
"Hi, I just came too take another look at the chandelier in the dinning room." Leo said, "I'm not interrupting anything am I?"
"No of course not, just doing some research." Piper said
"Oh, ok, then I'll just get started." Leo said picking up his toolbox and heading into the dinning room.
"Who was that?" Phoebe asked pulling more folders out of the boxes
"Leo, he's taking a look at the chandelier in the dinning room." Phoebe gave Piper a look. "What?"
"Nothing never mind." Behind them Leo looked into the kitchen
"So like I was saying, without that packet that tells us where Dan is now, we're screwed."
"Its got to be here, I mean it looks like Grams saved everything.
"Yeah but what if he was moved after she died?"
"They would have still sent the information." Phoebe paused "look if we don't find Dan soon he's going to be killed, I know what I saw and we have too stop it." Leo thought for a moment then orbed up too the attic. He waved his hand and the wardrobe the boxes had been sitting on moved forward away from the wall. Covered in dust leaning against the wall was a manila folder, addressed too Penny Halliwell, from the Los Angles Children's Services.
"Bingo." Leo said and orbed back downstairs, Piper was getting a pot of coffee and Phoebe was getting cups, both had their back too him. Quickly Leo orbed too the table slipped the folder into the box and orbed back out.
"Ok I'm going to look again, you know just so I'm sure we've checked everything." Phoebe said, she sat back down at the table and sifted through the box, she found the folder and pulled it out. She opened it and read the information "Piper?"
"Yeah?"
"Listen too this." She said "Ms. Halliwell, we are just informing you that your grandson Daniel Burmen is being moved too the Los Angles Center Children Home, Kings street, LA. The reason for the move is the facility he is currently living at is unfortunately closing leaving us with the task of placing the children in new homes as quickly as possible. There is no need too respond too this." Phoebe looked up at Piper who was smiling.
"I guess we better call Prue, we're going to LA." In the dinning room Leo smiled and set up the ladder too take a look at the chandelier.
