Spring Break came up and the scoobies were headed home with Harry coming
along.
Professor Dumbledore ordered a professor to come and keep an eye on the two
in case
Voldy's people tried anything so Along came McGonagall. They arrived at
McCarren Airport
where Connor and Cougar picked them up. As they rode to the house Harry was
in awe of
downtown Vegas.
"Wait till you ride them," Kailie said to her brother as she saw he was watching a roller coaster.
"You ride them?" Harry gulped.
Kailie laughed and Leo smiled along with a bunch of others.
*****
The girls were out at the mall talking and chatting. They turned a corner and Kailie bumped into someone.
"Sorry," She said turning around to face him as he did the same.
"Oh. My. God," He said.
"Nick?!?!" Kailie asked.
"Who?" Prue asked.
"It is you," Nick said.
The two hugged.
"Oh my god. I haven't seen you in forever. What the hell are you doing here?" Kailie asked.
"Vacation with my family," Nick said.
"No offence. Kailie. Who is he?" Prue asked.
"Her best friend from St. louis," Willow answered stepping up.
"Hey Nick. You remember Willow," Kailie said.
"Good to see you again Red," Nick joked.
"Nick! Come on," Someone called.
"Be there in a second," Nick yelled then wrote down a phone number. "Call me and we'll go to lunch and talk okay Kai?"
"Peachy with a side of keen," Kailie joked.
They hugged then Nick went off. For the first time in awhile, Kailie felt completely at ease.
*****
Kailie hugged Nick tightly at the airport before the two went to thier separate planes.
"Man I just found you and now you're going to England. Screw you," Nick joked as he lightly punched her.
"Ah. The land of the tweed and the home of the not-so-brave," Kailie joked.
"Ain't it the truth? Ya huh," Prue said slinging an arm around Kailie's neck.
Their plane was called. Kailie handed Nick her cell number.
"Call me anytime after 2 your time got it?" Kailie said.
"Yeah. Tell Red I say bye," Nick said.
"I will," They said then got on their plane.
*****
"So what's the dealio with Nick?" Prue asked.
"I just knew him from somewhere," Kailie said.
"You two looked pretty cozy," Prue smirked.
"Never gonna happen," Kailie said.
Prue let out a half smile.
*****
The days went by as usual at Hogwarts. Going unnoticed by everyone, Prue and Kailie seemed to just be going through the motions though. They were sitting in their room working on thier homework and listening to music with Harry. A new song started and Kailie and Prue started singing along not really noticing they were as they worked..
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Harry looked at them for a moment then put his quill down and watched them sing.
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Harry caught a little gleam in each of their eyes when they sang that verse. It was then that he noticed that they had been going though the motions.
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
*****
"Nope. There is literally nothing happening over here," Kailie said into her cell phone as she walked by the lake.
"That's a bummer," Nick said.
"Totally. Going through the motions here," Kailie joked.
"And all you want to be is Alive right Kai?" Nick asked.
"Ain't it the truth," Kailie said sitting down.
"How are things on the magic front?" Nick asked.
"Nothing really. No attacks, no visions, no feelings," Kailie said.
"S`about time huh?" Nick asked.
"You bet. It's been hell lately."
"And you mean that in the literal sense huh?"
"Totally."
"Have you talked Xander or Connor about that stuff?"
"They all know about the heaven-ness and everything else."
"Including the Darryl stuff?" Nick asked.
"Including that. I hate having to tell the past. It sucks."
"Sucks worse than vampires," Nick joked.
"You don't know how right you are."
"What can I say? I'm very observative," Nick said.
"Is that even a word?" Kailie aksed.
"I don't know, but I like it."
Kailie laughed then heard music in the background. "What are you listening to?"
"Where's the Love," Nick said flipping through a book.
"I love that song so much, but I don't have the cd," Kailie said.
"Well, now I know what to get you for your birthday then," Nick said.
"Yeah..... Hey Do you remember that time at lunch we were singing Where's the Love and it started a big riot thingie?" Kailie aksed.
"Yeah and we didn't even get busted or anything," Nick laughed.
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm
That song was stuck in Kailie's head every time she talked to Nick. She felt like singing it out loud and dedicating it to Nick. Too bad she would make such a fool of herself doing that though.
After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
"Well I gotta go. Dinner's about to start," Kailie said.
"I'll talk to you later."
"Bye Nick."
"Bye."
*****
"There will be a Spring Dance coming up next week on Friday. All classes will be shortened so those of you who are girls can spend as much time as you want on make-up knowing all of you," Dumbledore joked.
A few kids laughed.
"Most of you are probably wondering. Yes you may bring dates to this dance. Let's eat," Dumbledore said and the food appeared.
Prue and Coy looked at each other and they nodded.
"Too bad Nick is in New York," Kailie said tearing off a piece of her roll.
"Why? Would you like to dance with him?" Prue smirked.
"Oh shut up," Kailie said.
"Maybe you can ask Dumbledore," Harry said from next to his sister.
"Nah. Already got a few scoobies here with me. Don't wanna ask for anything more ya know," Kailie said.
"Still," Hermione said.
"Nopes," Kailie said.
"I think you should ask," Harry said.
"Why?" Kailie asked.
"Cos Nick is a smitten kitten around you, and you are too," Prue said.
"So am not," Kailie said. They looked at her. "Okay maybe a little, but he's just a friend. Plus he's like on the other side of the world."
"That didn't stop Piper and Leo," Lily said on the other side of the table.
"And they had a kid," Prue pointed out.
"Puh-lease. A) Leo could orb anytime he wanted to. B) TV show. C) I'd take Brian Krause over Nick any day," Kailie said.
"Blessed be to that," Prue said as she clinked her drink against Kailie's.
"You're gonna ask. Or else we will for you," Ron said.
"Why is everyone picking on me?" Kailie asked.
"When you look at Nick what do you see?" Prue asked.
"A close friend. Like Connor or Xander," Kailie answered.
"Ohana," Prue smirked.
"Means family. Family means no one gets left behind......I know. I kno," Kailie said shaking her head.
They ate then Dumbledore silenced the hall.
"One last announcment. We have booked a band-" Applause. "An American band called-" Gets that sparkling twinkle in his eye. "Charmed with a Vengence."
"WHAT?!?!?!!?!?!?" Five voices rang out getting the attention of the hall
"That is correct," Dumbledore sat.
They looked at each other.
"The scoobies are coming to Hogwarts baby!" Prue said. "Booo yaaa!"
*****
I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown hair would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
But baby most of all
The music played and couples/dates danced on the floor. Prue/Coy, Hermione/Harry-Ron, and Kailie/Nick were the scoobies there. The floor was packed completely.
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright
After that song the scoobies went on stage.
"Okay for the last song we're gonna play a song by Staind called So Far Away," Connor said.
"Evil," Kailie whispered as she grabbed her guitar.
"I heard that," Connor whispered back.
"That was the point of me saying it, "Kailie said.
They started playing.
this is my life
its not what it was before
all these feelings i've shared
and these are my dreams
that i'd never lived before
somebody shake me
cuz i
i must be sleeping
now that we're here,
it's so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all in the mistakes,
one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we're here its so far away
and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive
and i'm not ashamed to be the person that i am today
The crowd was by the stage a bit. The staff was in the back listening.
these are my words
that i've never said before
i think i'm doing okay
and this is the smile
that i've never shown before
somebody shake me cuz i
i must be sleeping
