Princess Pinky – Yeah, I'm not fond of the kids either, he may be 2 years old, but Wyatt just looks so arrogant! I hope I didn't confuse you with all the different Charmed Ones lol! (I confused myself sometimes lol!). They don't have an Evil Prue, eh? Well, you never know, there may have been consequences to Prue's return ;)

wyatt333 – Shhhh! Don't tell anyone if you've figured it out lol! It's one of the secrets of the story! If you reread 'R and R Part 2' and pay attention to where the word 'aunt' is used, you'll see who Mel's mother is!

It's All Elementary

'So when's this person get here?' Paige asked.

'Uh… I don't really know, but she is here first, she likes the wind,' Aidan replied.

'Well, obviously, if she is the Elemental Guardian of Wind!'

Paige and Aidan had been standing on top of the Golden Gate Bridge for an hour, it was dark now and beginning to get cold. This was something Aidan did every month, he had to meet with the other Elementals and perform some sort of ritual to keep the world in balance. They would meet here and then go a secret holy spot, the location was even hidden from the Elders, and Paige was going see it!

'Oh! Here she comes!' Aidan pointed to something coming towards them, as it got closer, Paige could see that it was a large majestic bird! Its feathers were pearly white and literally glowed. The bird landed on the bridge with a soft thud and began to shrink and took the form of a teenage girl.

'Phew!' the girl straightened out her jeans, 'The wind was hell on the way here!' she grinned.

'Is that a good thing?' Paige asked.

'Are you kidding?! It was great! I even used my powers to set up a lightning bolt obstacle course for myself!' the girl grinned again.

'Paige, this is Skye McKenzie, Skye, this is Paige Matthews,' Aidan introduced them.

'Hi… No offence, but you look a bit young for an Elemental,' Paige said

'None taken! Unlike the rest of us, I've been an Elemental since birth, so I'm a lot more experienced than the rest of these old guys!' Skye winked.

Paige laughed, 'You're wings are beautiful by the way!'

'Thanks! But you should see Aidan's scales when he turns into his Elemental Form! They sparkle! Especially in the water!'

Paige looked at Aidan, who avoided the gaze, 'You can do that? You can transform?'

'Uh oh, did I blurt something out?' Skye grimaced

Aidan turned to his girlfriend, 'My form is a lot bigger and scarier than Skye's, you don't want to see it,'

'Oh! Look! Here comes Danielle!' there was something in the sky, it was approaching from a different direction than Skye had. Paige gasped as it landed and she realised it was a dragon.

Aidan almost read her thoughts, 'Yes, my form is even scarier than that!'

A woman with flaming red hair was standing in place of the dragon; she looked slightly younger than Paige was looking very impatient.

'Hmph! Late… as usual!' Danielle exclaimed.

'Oh c'mon Danny! Matt's always late! Don't gripe about it!' Skye said cheerfully.

'Well sorry Skye, but I don't find the trip here to be a joy ride like you do!' she snapped.

'Fire Elemental,' Aidan whispered, 'Short tempered and very stubborn,' Paige simply nodded.

'Who the hell are you?' Danielle asked calmly

'Um… I'm Paige… Paige Matthews!' Paige was intimidated by this woman's manner.

'She's Aidan's new girlfriend,' Skye explained.

The Fire Elementals eyes widened, 'And you brought her her?! Are you crazy?!'

'Whoa! Don't have a stroke Danny! Not only is she my girlfriend, but she's a Charmed One,'

'So? She shouldn't be here! Matt will tell you the same if he ever gets here!'

'Tell him what?' a voice echoed, everyone looked up to see a lion standing on one of the pillars, it jumped down and came towards them, padding softly on the metal.

'Matt! Tell Aidan that he shouldn't have brought his fling up here!' Danielle spat.

The lion became a tall, dark haired man, 'Danielle, that's enough!' he turned to Paige, 'I'm sorry, but even though you are a Charmed One, we can't risk anyone finding the sacred place, I hope you understand,' he said apologetically.

At least he asked nicely Paige thought, 'Sure, it was nice meeting… most of you,' she glared at Danielle before orbing out.

The redhead just stood with her jaw dropped, 'What's the matter, Danny? You trying to catch flies with that open mouth?' Sky laughed.


Paige was lying awake in her bed, she felt the other side sink and rolled over to see Aidan sitting on the edge of the bed.

'How'd your staff meeting go?' Paige joked

Aidan let out a small laugh, 'It went fine, the world is balanced for another month,' he walked over to the closet and put his sweater in.

'What's up with Danielle?' Paige sneered.

He chuckled, 'Danny and I don't get along well, it's because we're opposing elements, literally! Skye and Matt don't get along either, but they're a little more subtle,' he climbed into bed after stripping down to his t-shirt and boxers, he put a protective arm around Paige and she moved closer.

'What does your Elemental form look like?'

'Hmm? Why do you want to know that?'

'No reason. Just wondering,'

'Well, it's not really that important, I'm more comfortable in my human form so the chances of you seeing it are slim,'

'But I'm still curious,' Paige replied

'Look, Paige, just drop it, please?' he snapped.

Paige wondered why his powers were such a sensitive subject for him; he never had any trouble using them to help her fight demons, what was the big deal?


Prue emerged from her basement bedroom, squinting her eyes as the sunlight cam through the kitchen door. The smell of Piper's delicious breakfast had woke her up. As her eyes adjusted, she saw Leo trying to feed the boys while Piper made breakfast for the rest of the house.

'Wow, it's so strange for you to be up earlier than me,' Prue groaned, Piper just chuckled.

Emma walked in, yawning and picking a bowl out of the cupboard, she picked up a box of Granola and shook it over her bowl, only a couple of flakes fell out.

'Alright! Who ate all the Granola? I thought I was the only one that liked it!' Leo walked nervously past her with an empty cereal bowl, she noticed and glared at him, 'Leo!' Emma whined.

'Emma calm down, just put it on the list on the refrigerator and Paige will pick some up later, it's her turn to do the shopping,' Piper replied calmly as she moved some eggs about a pan.

'Morning,' Paige orbed in.

'Hey, personal gain! Use the stairs!' Prue scolded her while getting a plate down from the shelf.

'I'm too tired to move, can someone just push me into a chair?' Paige moaned.

'Wild night?' Emma wiggled her eyebrows/

'No,' Paige glared at her, 'A sleepless one,' she sat down, 'Plate,' she called weakly for a plate from the shelf.

'Hey! Stop doing that!' Piper said, 'Or you won't be getting breakfast!'

'Mmm… that'll mean more for us, right Prue?' Emma smirked

'Definitely!' Prue smirked back.

As if to break the setting of this perfect morning, Aidan walked in with less than normal news, 'Uh… You guys? I think we have a problem,' he pulled up his sleeve to reveal that his arm was covered in scales!


Paige touched his arm, making his arm flex and therefore making the scales ripple, 'Okay, that's slightly unnerving,' she stated.

'Leo…' Piper began

'I'll go check with the Elders,' he smiled at her before orbing out.

'I'll go check the Book of Shadows to see if there's a way to stop your boyfriend from turning into Godzilla,' Prue patted Paige's shoulder before walking out the kitchen.

Sensing that they need a private moment, Emma made an excuse, 'Um… We should go as well,' she nudged Piper, 'Cause we have… the thing… you know?' Piper caught on to her hint.

'Oh right! The thing! Let's go!' the two picked up Wyatt and Chris and left.

Paige lifted his arm again, examining the scales and noticing how beautiful they looked as the morning sun reflected off them.

She suddenly remembered something that Skye had said,

Thanks! But you should see Aidan's scales when he turns into his Elemental Form! They sparkle! Especially in the water!

Paige was about question him about it but was interrupted by a crash from upstairs, 'Paige!' Piper called from the attic.

Aidan and Paige ran through the attic door, expecting to find a demon, but the girls were surrounding something on the floor.

'There was a tornado, she appeared, and had quite a bumpy landing,' Emma informed them, the two walked past the others to see a girl with wings for arms, lying on top of the remains of a table.

'Oh my God!' Aidan knelt down next to the unconscious girl, 'Skye!'


Aidan carried the knocked out teenager into the living room and put her down on the sofa.

'Who is she?' Prue whispered to Paige

'She's the Wind Elemental,' she whispered back

Leo orbed in and gave a confused look to the girl on the couch. Piper mouthed 'Don't ask' and nodded her head to show he should tell them what he knew while Aidan healed Skye.

'What did the Elders say?' Emma asked, sitting down on the chair opposite of the two elementals

'Well, they don't know much but they do know that the Elementals are bound together strongly by their magic, so if something like this is happening to Aidan, then it's happening to the rest to them,'

'Yeah, we know that,' Piper nodded her head in Skye's direction, 'Wind Elemental,' she answered.

Paige knelt down next to her boyfriend and noticed he was sweating, 'You okay?' she pressed the back of her hand to his forehead.

'Yeah… I'm fine… It's just it's never been this hard to heal someone before…' he said, 'It's taking a bit of a toll,'

'Why? You heal people all the time and have no trouble,' she replied.

'Yeah, I know, maybe it's whatever is effecting her is fighting my healing,'

Paige put her hand over Skye and began to help heal, her wounds disappeared in seconds and she woke up.

'Or maybe whatever is wrong with you is effecting your powers,' Paige said.

Skye wearily opened her eyes, 'Uh… Aidan..? Ugh…' she closed her eyes again.

'Skye? Skye!' Aidan shook her gently, but then a little more forcefully when she didn't respond. She suddenly began to shake violently and scream, the feathers that had covered her arms were now working up her shoulders

'Stand aside,' Emma proclaimed, she began to use her telempathy, sending the image of a lone eagle flying into Skye's head, in an attempt to calm her down and slowly, she began to calm.

'Why didn't you just send her a telempathic blast?' Paige asked

'Because I thought I would take the gentle approach,' Emma replied calmly, she was about to say something else, but was interrupted by the thud of Aidan falling to the floor.

'Oh my God!' Paige was immediately at his side, helping him onto the couch. He gritted his teeth in pain as he pulled up his sleeve to reveal that the scales had spread


Paige was spinning a crystal over a map; they had all decided that they might have a better chance of helping Aidan and Skye if they could find Matt and Danielle.

Leo dragged Aidan into the crystal cage, along with Skye. He stepped out and put the last crystal in place, it made a humming sound to confirm that it had been put in the right place.

'Okay, Piper put a spell on the crystals so the cage will act like a life support system, they'll be safe for about six hours,' Leo said.

'Where's Prue?'

'Oh, she had to go into 415 and hand in her photo's, she'll be back soon,'

She sighed and stopped spinning the crystal, 'Dammit! Why isn't this working!' she ran a hand through her hair, getting it out of eyes.

'What are you scrying with?' Leo enquired

'A scale from Aidan and a feather from Skye,' she answered

'But they don't belong to the other elementals,'

'Yeah, I know, but these things,' she waved the scale and feather, 'Are part of their powers, and since they're all connected by their powers, it should work,'

'That's a bit of a long shot, don't you think?'

'Leo, it's the only shot I have!' she glared at him, then sighed, 'I'm sorry, it's just… I can't lose him, Leo,' she whispered, she went back to the map and a tear dropped onto the crystal, which for some reason, made it drop on a place immediately.

Paige's eyes widened, 'Piper! Emma! Let's go!' she shouted and turned to Leo, 'Okay, keep looking in the book for a clue to what demon is doing this, and keep an eye on them, will you?'

Piper and Emma walked into the attic; each had vanquishing potions in their hands,

'What are those for?' Paige asked.

'Well, these guys keep the planet's balance, right?' Emma asked. Paige nodded, 'So there probably will be a lot of demons wanting to kill them now that the Elementals are weakened so we may need these,' she flashed the potions.

'Okay, good thinking,' the youngest Charmed One nodded weakly.

'Paige, we're going to save him,' Piper reassured her

'Yeah, I know, are we ready?' Piper and Emma nodded and linked arms with Paige.

'Chris is taking a nap downstairs, and Wyatt is at school, if we're not back by twelve, you'll need to pick him up! Bye!' Piper orbed out with the girls without giving Leo time to reply.


Paige, Piper, and Emma appeared in the middle of an apartment, it looked a mess! Paige was immediately thinking that whatever Elemental has here, their place had ended up like this due to a demon attack.

'So what are we dealing with? Fire or Earth?' Piper thought aloud.

Paige was about to answer when she heard a cough come from the other side of the counter, she ran round to find Matt on the floor, bleeding badly and breathing his last breath, his hands had also turned into claws, just like Aidan and Skye had feathers and scales. Paige put her hands over his wounds, attempting to heal them, but he pushed her hands away.

'It's… my… time… Protect… Danielle…' he whispered.

Paige bowed her head, 'Emma, do your best to make him comfortable,'

Emma nodded and moved to the side of Matt, sending him a psionic blast so he wouldn't feel pain in his last moments.

Piper began looking through the cupboards, before Paige stopped her,

'What the hell are you doing?! Don't you think that's a little disrespectful?!' she exclaimed.

'Look, we don't have time to go home, scry for Fire, and end up losing her too, he must have an address or something!' she rummaged through the drawers, 'Aha! Got something!' she pulled out a necklace with a fire emblem emblazoned on the pendent.

'It's a bit like the necklace I got you for Christmas,' Paige commented.

'C'mon, we can find with this now!' Piper said triumphantly

Emma walked over, 'He's gone now, what do you want to do?'

Paige sighed, 'I'll call Darryl later, but first, do you think you could locate Fire with this necklace?' she handed it to Emma.

Emma closed her eyes to concentrate, she could use her telempathy to track down people, and when she opened her eyes, she had located Danielle.


When they orbed in, Piper, Paige and Emma had no idea this place was a battlefield! A demon was killed by a stream of fire coming from a woman who was slumped against the wall; another demon conjured an energy ball to finish her but was blown up by Piper before he had the chance to make a move.

Paige approached Danielle but was warded off by a fire stream, 'Back Off…' Danielle growled.

'Paige, look,' Emma brought her attention to the fact that Danielle was covered in scales and that her teeth had enlarged.

'Dragons are naturally violent creatures, her Elemental side is suppressing her human one,' Emma explained.

Paige suddenly realised what was happening to all of the Elementals, she had to act fast, 'Piper, freeze her,'

'What? But she's still a witch so-,'

'Just do it,'

Piper groaned and made the hand motion and to her surprise, the woman froze.

'C'mon,' Paige gathered them together, 'Let's get outta here!'


The three remaining Elementals were now knocked out with a sleeping potion and being kept alive through the life support cage. Paige was sitting with Aidan's head on her lap, stroking his hair and making sure he was okay.

'Do you think it's safe? I mean Danielle tried to kill you last time,' Leo replied, he was against their plan.

'Leo, this is our only chance, time is running out with the cage and we don't have a spell or potion to fix them. What's the worse that could happen?'

Leo sighed, 'You're going to do this even without my consent, aren't you?'

She gave him a quick peck on the lips and patted his chest, 'Of course. Is Prue home yet?'

'Yes,' Prue walked into the attic and saw the current situation, 'Wow, I take I've missed a lot,'

'Yeah! I thought you were only handing in your assignment?'

'I was, but then I got dragged into a meeting… it's a long and boring story,' she replied.

'Ugh! Fine! You're just in time,' Piper smirked

'For what?'

'You'll see, is the spell finished?' she asked Emma, who was sitting at the table with a pen and paper.

'Yeah, I've cracked it!' She said with a smile.

'Okay,' she turned to Paige, 'We're ready,'

Paige looked up, 'Okay,'

After a couple of minutes, everyone had orbed out to carry out the plan.


'Just set them down over there,' Paige ordered, Leo began dragging the Elementals across the sand. They had orbed to a secluded beach where no one would see what they were doing.

'Could someone fill me in please?' Prue asked, completely clueless

'It's simple, all of them are fighting the change to their Elemental form, and it's hurting them, so we use this spell to help them let go and hopefully cure them,' Emma explained.

'Uh… guys? We might want to hurry! Danielle looks like she's gonna wake up!' Paige exclaimed. It was true, she was waking up and if she did, she might attack again.

'Let go of the struggle in your mind

And your health again, you will find,'

The four witches chanted the spell, and stepped back, as there were lights of blue, purple and red coming from the Elementals. They all had to turn away from light as the glow became even stronger. When it faded, everyone gasped at the divine sights before them.

In Danielle's place, stood a large red dragon, although it looked scary, it had serenity about it. Its scales glowed with the heat of fire and it was staring at the sky.

In Skye's place, stood a majestic bird, it softly padded the sand underneath it's feet and cooed slightly. It was a magnificent sight when it ruffled its feathers and took off.

Paige gasped at the creature that was standing in place of her boyfriend; it had to be the most beautiful thing all of them had ever seen. A giant sea serpent was on the sand; its scales shimmered in the sunlight as it swayed back and forth, making it look like a rainbow. The creature lowered its head the nudged Paige, who smiled and stroked the magnificent beast.

The dragon took off into the sky along with the bird, showing off their massive wingspans. The serpent nudged Paige again before swiftly turning round and jumping into the ocean. Paige remembered Skye's words about how his Aidan's scales sparkled in the sea, she had been right.


Paige sat in her bed reading a magazine with the dim glow of an orb lighting up the page. There was a surge to water on the floor and Aidan appeared.

'Hey stranger,' Paige greeted him with a warm smile, 'Enjoy your swim?'

'Yes,' he smiled and sat on the bed next her, resting his hand on her leg, 'Thanks to you,'

'Any idea why you guys got ill?' Paige asked

'Um… that was my fault, because all of our powers are connected, when I was fighting my Elemental form, the others did too and… Matt lost his life because of it…'

Paige laid her hand on his, 'Don't blame yourself, Matt doesn't blame you,'

'I guess…'

'And… for what it's worth, you looked amazing out there, why were you trying to hide it from me?'

Aidan laughed, 'What would you rather have? Me or a fifty foot sea serpent?'

'Mmm… tough choice,' Paige joked 'But I'd have to say you,'

'Thought so,' he leaned in and kissed her passionately, cupping her cheeks with his hands as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Paige was left stunned, 'Definitely you…' she whispered.

He stood up, 'I have to work to tonight, so I'll see you at breakfast. I love you,'

Paige smiled after he splashed out, 'I love you too…'


Did you like that? I thought I would do a bit of an Aidan-centric chapter, it just felt right!

I didn't realise I wasn't accepting anonymous reviews but I've changed it so if can't be bother signing in, still review!

Chapter 22 'Pressing Charges' will be up soon!
