Chapter Twenty-One: Happy Valentine's Day
Setting: Thursday, February 13, 2022
It had been over a month since meeting Lavinia, and the Charmed Ones were already wanting to kill her. Every night, she made them practice their powers in case of an attack. She was pushing Pru, the most, to receive premonitions on command. Pru countered with it doesn't work like that, and Lavinia wouldn't take no for an answer. She was a definite bitch.
Greg and Emma's relationship was getting hot and heavy. Emma was introducing Gypsy magic into the house, and everyone was grateful. She had all these herbs to help with common colds and sneezing. All which came in handy. Greg was sure she was the one.
Sander and Dan began dating shortly after the dinner party, and Sander never seems to be home. Dan, of course, had no idea his boyfriend was a witch, and the thought of telling Dan scared Sander, a lot. Sander won his lawsuit, but at a painful price. He was able to own and manage P3, but he was banned, by a court order, to work behind the bar and touch the alcohol because he was only 19. The order would be relieved when he reaches the age of 21. With this order, Sander decided to go back to school to study French.
Pru, on the other hand, began to take a serious liking in the martial arts. She figured with her passive powers, she could really rely on some hand to hand combat. Cole took it upon himself to teach her the basics of self-defense. Greg and Sander would join occasionally, but they always seemed to be busy doing something else. It might have been because Cole is a serious, sometimes mean, teacher.
"I think we need to talk about clothing." said Lavinia during a meeting on a cold February morning.
"Clothing?" asked Greg, as he looked up from his morning paper and coffee.
"Yes. You wear clothing that is hard to move around in when fighting a demon."
"You tell us this after a month?" said Pru in a sarcastic tone, as she buttered her bagel at the island.
"Pru, you wear tight pants, braless shirts, tank tops, high heels, skirts, and on one occasion a piece of lingerie."
"Uhm you called for me, while I was having sex with my boyfriend! So that is so not my problem Miss Voyeur." said Pru rudely.
Greg and Sander giggled.
"As for you two. Polo shirts and black boots are not appropriate attire."
"What do you want us to wear? Matching leotards?" asked Sander.
"No, sweat pants, sweat shirts and sneakers."
"Uhm, yeah. No. I don't own any of those things. The last time I wore an outfit like that was freshmen gym class." said Sander, who had high standards for fashion.
Lavinia groaned in defeat and orbed out of the kitchen.
"Thank god. She is really pissing me off." said Sander irritated.
"Yeah, but you have to admire her professionalism for the rules." said Pru as she took a seat at the table.
"Yeah, but she is a pain in ass." said Greg.
"Okay, tomorrow. Who's got plans?" asked Sander changing the subject.
"Uhm, Cole and I are going to some fancy restaurant. Then who knows." she laughed.
"Emma's cooking dinner at her place, so I will most likely be staying there."
"That's cool. I was thinking about having Dan over here. But I want to run something by you two first."
"Sure, what is it?" asked Greg as he looked at his younger brother.
"I was thinking about telling Dan about us and our magic."
"Are you sure that is wise?" asked Pru.
"I love him." said Sander.
"We know, but you also loved Carly, and remember how that ended." said Greg.
Sander winced as his brother's words brought back a memory from his past, where he had to vanquish his best friend, who was a demon.
"But I want to be honest with him. He's been honest with me about everything. About how his cousin molested him when he was ten, and how his first boyfriend committed suicide two years ago. And all I can tell him is that my aunts and mother died in similar car accidents, 17 years apart. I can't tell him that I'm a witch with a destiny that goes beyond anything you can do in college." said Sander, who was starting to choke on the words.
"It hurts to lie to him."
"I understand. Tell him, if it will make you happy." said Greg as he smiled at his brother.
-/Sander's Valentine's Day-
Valentine's day came quickly, and before anyone knew it, it was night time. Sander was bustling around the house making it all romantic. He placed candles everywhere, and the dining room table was set for two with candles all over the table. In the center of the table was the food: filet mignons, steamed broccoli with cheese sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, a salad and for dessert, a decadent chocolate cake. And champagne of course.
Dan arrived at exactly seven o'clock, dressed in black pants, a deep burgundy shirt and white tie. A smile plastered on his face.
"Hey you." smiled Sander as he reached forward and kissed Dan.
"You look great." smiled Dan as he reached behind his back and gave Sander a bouquet of white roses.
"Thank you, and you look great too." he smiled as he took the roses and led Dan into the dining room. Sander was wearing khakis, and a white shirt, and a black tie.
"Oh my god, this dinner looks fantastic. And all these candles. Are you trying to seduce me, Mr. Wyatt?" smiled Dan as he took a seat at the dining table.
"Maybe. Why, is it working?" Sander laughed as he poured two glasses of champagne.
"Yeah, I think it is."
Dinner went by smoothly, and they were just about to start dessert, and Sander decided it was time. Time to reveal his secret.
"Dan?" came Sander's voice as Dan placed a hunk of cake in his mouth.
"Yeah?" he said in-between a mouthful of food.
"I got to tell you something, but do you want milk first?" he laughed, as he got up and went into the kitchen.
"Please." said Dan as he took another bite.
Sander came back in after about two minutes and placed a large cup of milk in front of Dan, and he just smiled sweetly.
"Okay, so what did you have to tell me?" asked Dan.
"I need to be honest with you, and you may not like it." said Sander.
Dan looked at Sander, puzzled. Then replied, "It can't be worse than your cousin molesting you into having sex with her when you were ten."
"I don't know. You be the judge."
"Sander, is there someone else? Are you breaking up with me?" said Dan slightly alarmed.
"Oh my god no. I love you, there can never be anyone else."
"You aren't still in love with that Mike are you?"
"No, he left me, and I got over him along time ago. I want to tell you that..."
"Sander, tell me what? You are freaking me out here." said Dan, who was annoyed.
"Stop cutting me off."
"Not until you tell me what's bothering you. If you want to end it, just say so."
"No! I'm a witch! There I said it." said Sander, who had tears coming from his oceanic eyes.
Dan sat there silently, looking at his lover. After about three minutes..
"Dan?"
"Why didn't you tell me along time ago?"
"I was scared. I was scared that you would leave me, and call the cops on me and have me burned."
"First of all, I wouldn't call the cops. I am the cops." Sander laughed at Dan's comment.
"A witch huh? Prove it."
Sander smiled, and flicked his wrist and Dan's plate of cake flew into the wall.
"It's my only power as of now. It's called telekinesis. I can say spells and make potions as well."
"That's cool. I love you, and thank you for being honest about it."
"I love you too." smiled Sander as he got up and reached across the table, and kissed Dan passionately.
The two walked around the table, still kissing, not once letting their lips part, and the two fell to the floor, making out.
-/Pru's Valentine's Day-
At six thirty, Pru left her house and drove to Cole's apartment across town. (Same apartment from season 4) She was dressed in a red dress, which matched her hair, and she had a red rose choker on with her triquetra underneath it, and her hair in curls.
Cole was dressed in a black suit, with a pale pink shirt and a black tie. He was smiling as he gave Pru a bouquet of red roses and a passionate kiss.
"They're beautiful, Cole." she smiled as she kissed him again.
"So, ready to go to dinner?" he asked as he took her arm.
"Yes." she smiled, as she led the way to the elevator.
"We don't need that." he smiled as he shimmered with her in his arms.
"Where are we?" she asked as she looked around for something she was accustomed too.
"Greece."
"What?" she said exasperated.
"We are in Greece. I have a table, that I set up right over there." he smiled as he pointed to the Acropolis.
They shimmered once more, and they were inside the ruins of the Acropolis. In the center of the ruin, was a table with food and a lot of candles.
"You are the greatest." she smiled as she kissed him and sat down and looked at the food.
Salmon, salad, scalloped potatoes, shrimp scampi, and oysters.
"Enjoy." he smiled as he took his seat.
After about thirty minutes of eating delicious food. Cole announced he had to ask something. Pru was confused.
Cole got up and dropped to one knee, and took Pru's left hand. Pru smiled and looked shocked at the same time.
"Prudence Melinda Halliwell Wyatt, will you do the honor of being my wife? Will you marry me?" he asked sweetly.
Pru started to cry, as she nodded yes. "Yes. Of course I will marry you." she smiled as he placed the ring on her finger. She reached forward, and kissed him passionately, and orbed the two back to Cole's bedroom, while still kissing.
-/Greg's Valentine's Day-
Greg arrived at Emma's house at about seven fifteen. She was wearing a white peasant dress, and had a red hair band ribbon around her long curly brown hair. Greg was dressed in a red polo and black slacks and smiled at his girlfriend.
"You look beautiful." smiled Greg as he kissed Emma, who kissed him back passionately.
"We can eat later." she moaned as she pulled Greg into the house, and slammed the door shut.
