Chapter 3.

Early the following morning, Piper, Phoebe and Paige were sitting around the kitchen table, when a bleary-eyed Chris orbed in.

"Morning you, good nights sleep I take it?" Paige asked smiling.

"Funny Paige." Chris stretched and walked over to the coffee machine, only turning to glare at the sisters when he saw it was empty. "Oh, thanks guys." He yawned and sat down at the table.

"Right, so what are we going to do about this demon?" Phoebe asked.

"Well, according to the book, he's pretty much a low level demon so it shouldn't be hard to vanquish him. Suppose we could just summon him?" Paige asked.

"Right, so when?" Piper looked at each of her sisters.

"Soon as possible I suppose..." Phoebe said sipping her coffee, Chris glanced over enviously.

"Ok, well how about now? Sooner we vanquish the demon, sooner we can let the innocent leave." He said.

"Chris, don't you think there's a reason that we got her as an innocent?" Paige asked, looking at him as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. She rolled her eyes when she saw three blank faces staring back at her.

"Oh for crying out loud, she's a new witch, maybe we're meant to help her come into her powers..."

Chris's eyes widened at the suggestion. "You've got to be kidding me! You guys aren't meant to have a charge, that's a whitelighters job. Tell Leo or something. Besides, Paige not everything that happens to you has a hidden meaning behind it-you've been taking to many Temp Jobs."

"Chris, really I have a feeling we're meant to help her!"

"You know, it's Phoebes job to get the 'feelings', not yours." He muttered.

"I heard that!" she looked at him with a frown.

"Good, you're actually listening to me! I'm your Whitelighter, aren't you guys meant to do that?"

The girls all looked at each other, then at Chris. All three started to laugh.

"Fine, do what you like, see if I care." And with that he orbed out.

"Hmm great. As well as being a workaholic and a bit neurotic, he's also pissed off now. Oh joy." Piper got up from the table and picked up Wyatt out of his high chair.
"Hey little man, wanna go get ready for later on?"

"What's later on?" Phoebe asked, thinking she'd forgotten something.

"Well, Leo said that he was coming to take Wyatt to the zoo today." She smiled at the thought.

"Oh that's good to hear. Plus, we haven't seen him in like....3 weeks." Paige added.

"Yeah, and we'll be lucky if we see Chris before three weeks after his little 'tantrum'"
Piper, Paige and Phoebe started to laugh once again before Phoebe spoke up.

"Aw guys, we should give him a break, I mean after all he does have Wyatt's best interest at heart."

"Yeah well he should give us a break, jeez. We've vanquished like 20 demons in one week. That's gotta be a record or something..." Paige rolled her eyes, just as Allie (A/N: Change of characters name-sorry!) walked in.

"Morning, sleep well?" Piper asked.

"Yeah, thanks again for that Piper." She smiled. Looking around nervously, she said "So, I should probably go now, uh...thanks again guys."

"Go?" all three of them chorused.

"That's not a good idea; I mean that demon's still out there. And not to mention you just got your powers. Maybe you should just wait until our old whitelighter-" Paige was interrupted by Phoebe.

"They're like guardian angels" Paige looked at Phoebe crossly.

"Do you mind? I'm talking here."

"Sorry." Phoebe smiled sweetly at her. "Well, you orbed into my office yesterday so..." Paige opened her mouth to say something but Piper cut in.

"Yeah, guys....talk now, fight later."

"Anyway, as I was saying. You should just wait here till our Whitelighter comes, he'll know what to do."

"Is that the moody guy that was here yesterday?" she frowned at the thought.

"No, that's Chris. He's our new Whitelighter. You probably won't see him around today..."

Allie stared at them for a moment. "This is crazy..." she thought. "Um, okay. But can I at least go back to my apartment to get some new clothes?"

"Yeah, sure. Go ahead." Piper said, heading over to Wyatt, who was now on the floor playing with fridge magnets.

"Oh, he's such a cute baby!" Allie said, noticing Wyatt for the first time. "Is he yours?"

"Yup, he's my little angel aren't you?" she picked Wyatt up and tickled him on the tummy and he giggled. Allie smiled and then grabbed her coat off the edge of a chair and headed towards the door, but realised something. She turned back towards the kitchen. "Um, right...I have no idea what part of San-Francisco I'm in. Am I even in San-Francisco any more?" she looked at them with an eyebrow raised.

"Paige maybe you should...." Phoebe started.

"I'm on it!" she got up and turned to Allie. "So where do you live?" And with that they orbed out.
