They had approved. The elders had approved Greg becoming a whitelighter in training and Greg was so happy that he was inviting his siblings over for the weekend to tell them. Yes, Greg had three siblings. His mother had died long ago and his father was a workaholic until he left them when they got their magic. So, he'd been forced to, with the help of his older sister Linda, raise their younger brother and sister. But since Greg had become and enchanted one, Linda was raising them on her own. But, it wasn't that big of a deal since the other two were older now and could almost take care of themselves.

The younger siblings two were twins, but they couldn't be any more different. Alex had dark red hair and dark red eyes. He was fun and friendly, but had a competitive ego to match. Kelly had very dirty blonde hair and big brown eyes. She was cute, innocent, and a bit shy. But both had big hearts and a sense of good about them. Linda, his older sister, had dark red hair like Alex and deep green eyes. She was spunky, daring, and a feminist. She was also brilliant, and a quick thinker. Altogether, she was one tough cookie, and a model big sister. Greg was now fifteen, making Linda barely seventeen, and the twins eleven.

Greg's siblings also had powers, since they were also descendants of the Halliwell line. Kelly had the power to freeze people. Yes "freeze" people as in turn to ice. She did this the same way Greg froze time, with a quick flash of her hands. Alex, quite the opposite, had the power to throw fire form his outstretched palm. Linda, the most powerful of them all, could shoot power waves of electricity from her fingertips. Altogether, there were a strong "clan" of witches.

As always, Greg was making a HUGE welcome feast for his brother and sisters. He loved them very much and hoped that they would support him with his new role in the magical community. He would not get the power to orb until he graduated the training program, but at the moment, he did have the power to heal.

Now, he had just put the cake in, when the doorbell rang, with his siblings waiting. When he opened the door, Linda smiled and led the other two in

"Hi Greg!" Alex cried and hugged him. Alex looked to up Greg so much that he practically worshipped his big brother. "I'm getting really good at my powers," he said excited " And if I get good enough, do you think I could fight demons with you guys?"

Greg smiled at his brother's request "When you get older, I doubt you'll be as willing to commit your life to demon-cleanup."

Kelly on the other hand, kind of held back until Greg gave her a big hug, and then she seemed to open up and enjoy herself a little bit.

"So what've you been up to?" Linda asked as she settled down onto a couch. Kelly sat down right next to her and Alex sat beside Greg on the other couch.

"Just the normal, vanquishing demons, staying alive, the usual." He then smiled at the sound of that comment. "So what do you guys want to do while you're here?"

Linda grinned "Why for your birthday of course, you do turn sixteen in two days right?"

Surprised, Greg got up and looked at the calendar "You've got to be kidding," he exclaimed, "I've NEVER forgotten my birthday before, I guess with the demon attacks, doing home school, doing my part in keeping the house clean, and cooking for six people, sometimes seven with Leo, I lost track of the date."

Linda grinned "And that's why for the next two days, All you have to do is relax. Kelly and I will do the cooking and cleaning, and I'm sure the other five enchanted ones can cover for you for a while." Greg laughed

"Linda, you can't cook. I had to cook for Alex and Kelly ever since I was ten years old! And you hate cleaning!" Linda's smirk faded a little bit

"Well, I'm seventeen now and I'm sure I can cook a few measly meals. And if not, Alex and Kelly are eleven now so I'm sure they can help me, if not do it themselves."

Greg frowned in thought "Maybe just for a few days, I mean what harm could that be?" Suddenly a demon shimmered in and threw a energy ball at Greg, who froze the evil orb, and then blew it to pieces. Alex stepped forward and attempted to scorch the demon in flames, but missed and instead, burnt Greg's favorite lamp to the ground. The demon then shimmered behind Alex and grabbed him, and disappeared. Greg just stood there for a minute, stunned, and then he ran full speed to the attic.

An hour later, Greg had a vanquishing potion made and called to Turq, who then orbed in. Greg had asked the rest of the Enchanted Ones to stay away for the house for a few hours as Greg and his family got reacquainted.

"What is it?" he asked noticing the horrible look on Greg's face.

"A demon shimmered away with Alex, so I need you to orb me there and then orb me out and wait for my call while I vanquish the demon. This is my problem."

" He's my brother too! Well, in a sense." Turq replied upset "So I'm going with you and there's no way you're stopping me, you could get killed!"

A few minutes later, the demon was pacing around his cave angrily

"Why hasn't your brother come so that I can kill him?" he asked Alex.

"I don't know" the scared and trembling boy replied. Suddenly, Turq and Greg orbed in right in front of the demon. Greg quickly blew the demon to the other side of the cave while Turq orbed behind him and threw the potion. After the demon was oblivion, Turq orbed all of them home and Greg had to give Alex a speech about not vanquishing demons until he got older, he could get hurt. But, Alex finally seem to see the light and agreed to wait a few years.

For the next two days, Greg really tried to relax, that is, until his siblings got the house dirty and cooked a non-edible meal. So, for the rest of the time, Greg cooked and cleaned and did homework, with the occasional demon or two. So for his birthday, Greg had a spick and span house, a delicious cake, and his siblings and friends there with him. If only a demon hadn't appeared and blew the cake up in their faces. Well, that was just life of an Enchanted One.
