I think everyone will like this chapter, apart from maybe people who don't like Paige/Kyle together.
Replies-
Prue and Andy: Glad you liked it!
Princess Pinky: Glad you liked it! I really pity you about the sleep thing, I have no idea how you managed to stay awake! Piper using telepathic-orbs on Prue was a mistake I made, but we can just say it worked because it's the baby's half whitelighter! I think you'll like what I have in store for the character of Gabrielle and her background, she and Victor are main characters now! Sorry for not putting more of Sam and Victor in each other's bodies in! Don't let go of your doubts about Gabrielle, and just because I'm saying that it doesn't mean she's a demon!
Money makes me smile: Glad you liked it! Yay! You're adding it to your favourites! Wow! You read every chapter in a row! That's a lot!
The-Cheese-Fairy: Glad you liked it! You'll love this chapter, it's full of Paige/Kyle-ness! No, of course I don't mind! Don't you think it's really freaky how we get similar ideas for our fics lol? Gabrielle finds out about Phoebe being Victor's daughter in this chapter!
The City of Love:
Paige orbed into the manor with a severely wounded Kyle,
"Leo!" she called,
"what is it?" the Elder asked, appearing in a flurry of white lights,
"heal him," she instructed, Leo hesitated, before kneeling down and releasing a golden glow over Kyle's cuts.
"What happened?" Leo asked, as he finished healing Kyle,
"elemental soldiers," Paige replied,
"you should be careful, they're dangerous," Leo stated,
"nothing we can't handle," Kyle said, giving Paige a peck on the cheek before leaving the house with supernatural speed, phasing through the front door so he didn't have to open it.
The following morning, Paige awoke early, but not early enough, when she headed downstairs she bumped into Piper,
"where you goin with those potions?" the pregnant molecular questioned, eyeing the vials her baby sister held,
"I'm sorta….well….I'm going to Rome with Kyle," she explained,
"and is this trip to Rome strictly professional?" Piper smirked, Paige glared at her sister before nodding and orbing out.
Meanwhile, at Phoebe's and Cole's apartment, they sat eating some toast Cole had made when Phoebe decided to tell her fiancé exactly who her father's wife-to-be was,
"my dad's engaged to someone half his age," she blurted out,
"what?" Cole asked,
"my dad, he's marrying a thirty-something woman who just started working at the paper, her name's Gabrielle Watts," Phoebe said.
"Your father's marrying the woman who was in your office the other day?" the demon-mortal asked, shocked, Phoebe nodded,
"why?" she said,
"because I kinda got the feeling she was flirting with me when I shimmered in to see you, she cloned herself and her and the clone kissed me on my cheek," he informed her.
"Oh my god!" Phoebe exclaimed, dropping her toast on her plate,
"hey, women do flirt with me y'know, I'm found attractive," Cole said,
"know, not oh my god at that, but I am angry, but she cloned herself? does that mean she's a witch?" Phoebe asked,
"that's what she said," he replied, putting his suit jacket on and grabbing his keys, "I gotta get to work," he said, giving her a kiss,
"me too, see what our new fashion reporter's up to," Phoebe said, going into their bedroom to get dressed as he left.
In Rome, Paige and Kyle orbed in in a back alley,
"so how'd you know the elemental soldiers' lair is in Rome?" he asked,
"magic," she replied, giving him a flirtatious smile and walking towards the city centre,
"she likes me," he whispered, grinning.
At the Bay Mirror, Gabrielle sat at her desk flipping through some fashion magazines to see what the celebrities are wearing and the latest style icons,
"looking at wedding dresses," a voice asked, the redhead looked up to see Phoebe standing there with her hands on her hips. The bright blue of her netted shirt bringing out the blonde streaks in her hair, while her faded jeans hugged her hips and the heel of her blue and white patched boots gave her height a boost,
"Phoebe, I was hoping to see you before I went out," Gabrielle smiled.
"Oh yeah, where you goin? maybe to flirt with my fiancé, or make wedding plans with my father," Phoebe said, staring at the fashion reporter with a heated glare, Gabrielle's smile disappeared,
"I have no idea what you're talking about," she strictly stated,
"whatever," Phoebe commented, heading towards her office.
"It's true!" Gabrielle exclaimed, going after the Angelic Seer,
"sure it is," Phoebe said sarcastically,
"the marrying your father part is true, obviously, though I didn't actually know you were his daughter, but the flirting with your fiancé is not, I have no idea who he is," Gabrielle stated,
"I wonder what your clone has to say about that," Phoebe said, giving her a cocky smile, knowing she had just developed the upper hand in this discussion.
Back in Rome, Paige and Kyle arrived at the exact location of the elemental soldiers, the remainder of a building which had burnt down thirty years ago,
"so here's the plan, we storm in, throw the potions, demons vanquished," Paige said simply. They entered the partly destroyed building to be greeted by a horde of fire ball, Kyle phased himself and Paige, allowing the flaming spheres to pass through them,
"thanks," Paige said, throwing about five potions at the same time, vanquishing a large amount of the demons,
"I'll get the rest," Kyle told her, throwing the potions he had and bringing the remaining demons to a fiery end.
"Well that was an easy fight, how bout we stay for a little longer?" the whitelighter-witch said,
"sure, we can grab a bite to eat," he said,
"it's a date," she stated, "meet me in the city centre at six-thirty," she told him, orbing out, Kyle glanced at his watch, it was only three-forty-five,
"women," he commented.
When the time for them to meet up again came, Paige arrived at the city centre and saw Kyle waiting for her by a glorious fountain, he was wearing in tux and had bought her a single red rose,
"how romantic," she quipped, excepting the rose and giving him a kiss in exchange. The youngest charmed one wore a silky red dress which was quite baggy across the chest and has spaghetti straps, it reached down to her ankles so you could clearly see her heeled, ruby, sandals. Her strawberry blonde hair, which she had dyed only last night, was in two braids and had small, red, gems mixed in with it, her earrings were simple gold studs and a square pendant hung around her neck. The federal agent gazed in amazement at the beautiful witch who stood before him,
"you look like a million dollars," he complimented, putting his hands on her waist and looking deep into her eyes, before pressing his lips to hers in a passionate clinch,
"how bout we skip dinner?" she said, as they momentarily parted, he nodded and they continued to kiss, Paige orbing them out while doing so.
In San Francisco, Piper walked into the Bay Mirror, she and Phoebe were supposed to be going for lunch, to find her younger sister having a fight with a thirty-something redhead,
"thank god," Elise said, running over to the pregnant woman,
"what's goin on?" Piper asked,
" have no idea, but by what I heard from the yelling she's your father's fiancé," Elise replied, pointing at Gabrielle.
"Okay, this is too much," Piper said, freezing everyone, except for Gabrielle, and Phoebe of course,
"wait, why didn't she freeze?" she asked nobody in particular,
"because she's a witch," Phoebe said, making quotation marks with her fingers,
"I am a witch," Gabrielle spat, flicking Phoebe on the forehead. Piper watched as the two women slapped each other like typical girly-girls,
"fighting is not the answer," Piper said, walking over to them, "except for now," she added, swinging her hand down on the back of Gabrielle's neck and knocking her out,
"nice one sis," Phoebe complimented,
"shut up," Piper instructed, dragging Gabrielle into Phoebe's office, "she'll wake up in an hour or so, we should be back by then," she said, locking the door and tossing Phoebe they keys, before leaving like everything was normal, unfreezing everybody on the way,
"what happened to Gabrielle?" Elise asked, Phoebe shrugged and walked after Piper, not able to take the grin of her face.
"You wanna tell me what that was all about?" Piper asked, as she drove out of the parking lot, Phoebe fidgeted in the passenger seat, unable to get comfortable,
"she's dad's future wife, plus she flirted with Cole, and she has the power to clone herself," she replied, pulling a pen from her back pocket to discover that was the reason for her discomfort.
"Well cat fight's solve nothing," Piper said, as they arrived at the Bay View Café,
"you're the one that knocked her out," Phoebe stated,
"hormones," Piper replied, blaming her act of violence one of her many pregnancy symptoms.
Rome, the following morning, Paige glanced at Kyle, who was still asleep, before getting out of the bed and slipping back into her red dress,
"man it's cold," she whispered, putting on the white shirt he had been wearing last night over her own clothes,
"you leaving already?" Kyle asked, as he woke up, "I was thinking we could go for breakfast, unless you wanna skip that too," he said, giving her a flirtatious look.
"I can't, I've already left Karis all night, I'm surprised she hasn't tried to orb here, I guess my sisters' must have managed to keep her occupied," she replied, leaning over and giving him a kiss,
"how bout dinner tomorrow?" Kyle said,
"sure, and I'm thinking Paris," she grinned,
"I like that, I wonder if there're a lot of demons in France," he said,
"who mentioned demons?" Paige said, giving him a kiss and orbing out.
To be continued…
Next chapter- It's Valentines Day, and Paige doesn't know how to react when Kyle tells her he loves her. Phoebe's plans to destroy her father's engagement are over before they've even begun, when Victor and Gabrielle announce they're moved the wedding date forward, to three days away. Phobia returns from a six-month journey of self-discovery but is very distant, can be Prue get her to open up?
'The Four Letter Word' should be up soon.
A/N. The part with Piper knocking Gabrielle out was inspired by a Will and Grace episode I was watching on DVD the other day, Grace and Val were fighting when Karen stopped them and then suddenly did the same thing to Val, hit her on the back of her neck and knocked her out.
Also, I've decided to give Piper a new power, any suggestions are welcome. And I know I'm babbling on, but I was wondering if you're all sick of Evil Prue and you want me to put less in, or if you want me to put more in, or keep it the same?
And (I bet you're all bored of me by now) I am really interested what everyone's favourite chapter of 'Simply Charmed' was, and maybe your favourite subplot too?
I'll shut up now, next chapter should be up tomorrow.
