Chapter 6 Barbas over for dinner

Back at the manor, they were having troubles of their own.

"Barbas, the power of two, we call to you. Come to help us. Become our friend and ally. Unite with us to kill both our enemies. Come forth."

Read Piper and Phoebe together. They were hoping that Barbas would come join them for dinner. They would become friends with a demon. In a puff of smoke, came Barbas. He turned towards them with a quizzical look on his face.

"What am I doing here?"

He asked himself. He was looking around himself when he saw Piper, Leo and Phoebe.

"Would you like to join us for dinner."

Leo asked him. Barbas' face turned paler than normal.

"It's okay, it's Piper's special, roast pork. It's really good."

Phoebe told him. She gestured towards the stairs.

"Come on down. It's nearly ready. Can't you smell it?"

Phoebe coaxed him. He sniffed the air then said.

"Well, it does smell very nice, but it might be a trap."
"It's okay, we'll let you dish up."

Piper told him.

"Okay. But only because it smells so good."

Barbas added quickly. And they walked down the stairs.

Just after Piper, Phoebe, Leo and Barbas walked past, a bright light came from in Paige's bedroom. Paige and Chris had just landed on the floor.

"Okay. I'll go downstairs and see what their doing and I'll come back and tell you."

Paige reassured Chris.

"Sure."

Paige turns and opens the door.

"Paige, thanks."

Chris said as Paige turned around. She acknowledged him with a small nod, then carried on down the stairs.

"Go sit in the lounge with Leo while Piper and I set up."

Phoebe told Barbas. Leo showed him through to the lounge.

"Where's the third sister? Paige?"

Barbas asked Leo. Something was fishy.

"Oh."

Leo knew that for Barbas to trust the girls, he had to be open with Barbas.

He didn't want to, but he told Barbas the whole story.

"…And then Paige took off after Chris."

Leo finished.

"I'm sorry to hear that Leo. I may be a demon, but I have feelings too."

"Really? I didn't think demons had hearts."

"I'm not really a demon, just act like one."

Barbas and Leo laughed. Now that Leo knew him, it wouldn't be as easy to let the girls kill him. But it must be done.

"That's nice to know"

Came a voice from the stairs. The guys turned around to see Paige walking down the stairs.

"How long have you been standing there?"

Leo asked her.

"About two minutes."

Paige answered him.

"Here's the third sister. Paige."

Barbas greeted her.

"What are you doing here?"

She asked.

"We invited him over for dinner. I think Piper and Phoebe want you in the kitchen, Paige."

"Okay."

She knew when she had to leave.

"By the way, how's Chris? Is he okay?"

Leo whispered as she walked past.

"He's fine. Just leave him for a while."

And Paige went into the kitchen.

"Paige! What took you so long?"
Phoebe exclaimed.

"Oh, you know. Guys. Always take long to explain. Why is Barbas here?"
"Well, since Phoebe could barely stand…"

"Oh."

She turned to Phoebe.

"How are you?"
"Fine."

"Now as I was saying, since Phoebe could barely stand, we decided to invite him over for dinner. Then we could convince him to be our friend."

"Good plan. What can I do?"
"You can set the table and get the guys in."

"Okay."

Paige started to set the table when there was yelling, then a crash coming from upstairs.

"What was that?"

Phoebe asked.

"I think that was Chris."

Paige put down the plates and went out into the lounge. Leo wasn't there. She looked at Barbas.

"He went upstairs to look for Chris."

Barbas told her. Paige was still nervous around him so she rushed straight up the stairs into Chris' room.

Typical Leo she thought. There she found Leo lying on the floor with scratches on his head. Next to him was a candleholder. Across the room, Chris was sitting against the wall with his head in his arms.

"Chris?"

Paige asked hesitantly. She didn't get an answer. So she tried again.

"Chris, why did you do this?"
She sounded very concerned. Chris looked up.

"Because he was yelling at me. It was over a stupid little thing. He was being so… so arrogant. So I threw the candleholder at him. You should have seen his face." He had a small smile as he put his head back into his arms.

"Chris, I know that Leo shouldn't treat you like a little kid, but he doesn't know what we know. For him to understand, he has to know."

"But he won't try to understand."

"How do you know that Chris? Well, dinners ready and so is Barbas."

"What do you mean, Barbas?"

"Barbas is staying for dinner. Now I'm going to heal Leo, so you might want to leave."

"Okay. Hey, I'll treat you to dinner."

He said as he turned to her.

"I don't know…"

Chris silently pleaded at her.

"Sure. Let me just go tell my sisters. I'll meet you at the corner in five minutes."
"Okay. Hey Paige?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks"

She smiled. He had a lot to think about as he orbed outside. Paige actually understood him.

Paige bent over Leo's head. A white healing light flowed from her fingers. In a few seconds, Leo was beginning to regain consciousness.

"Leo, go down to dinner and forget about Chris for now. He's going to be fine."
"Sure."

Leo shook his head a bit, and they walk downstairs to the kitchen. Piper rushes over and threw her arms around Leo.

"What's wrong?"

Piper was concerned.

"Nothing."

Leo told her sternly.

"Um, I'm not staying for dinner. Me and Chris are going to get Chinese."

Paige butted in.

"Okay. Be back by 8."

She was cool with it. She knew Chris needed space, and Paige seemed to be the only one who could calm him down.

Paige walked down the street. She met Chris on the corner. She had wrapped up warm because it was chilly. But Chris didn't seem to feel the cold. He was dressed in a ripped tank top and jeans.

"Hi."
"Hi. Where do you want to go?"
"How about Chinese?"
"Sure. The Fung Wah?"
"Great."

And they headed off down the street to where Paige's car was parked.

"Nice car."

He told her.

"Thanks. Now, Piper told me to be home by 8."
"Okay. You have to listen to Mum's curfew."

He laughed as Paige started the car and drove down the street. She found a park right outside Fung Wah. They walked in to find that there were only two other tables occupied. The tables had been pushed together. They had some big looking gang guys sitting at them. So Chris decided they would sit near the back.

"Let's go down the back."

He told Paige.

"Good idea."

She said as she walked past the men at the tables.

"Hey Hottie. Paige, wasn't it? What you doing with him? Come join our table."

He was very drunk. One of the guys told her as another made a space for her to sit down. She shuddered.

"Sorry to disappoint you Cid, but he is family."

She told the guy. He shot Chris a dirty look and went back to the poker game that they were playing.

"Who's that?"
Chris asked Paige. She turned away before he saw her blush.

"Just a guy from my past."

"Really?"

He raised his eyebrows at her.

"Come, let's sit over here."
She said as she gestured towards a table. They walked over and sat down. Not long after, a lady came over to them.

"What would you like to order?"
She asked them.

"I think I'll have the lemon fish. Paige?"

"Um, I'll have the chicken satay. Thanks."

Paige said. The lady went back into the kitchen. Chris turned to Paige.

"So, what do you think I should do about Leo?"
Paige thought for a second.

"I think you should just tell him. That will help him see just what's happened to you."
"I appreciate your help, but how will that help?"
"Well, it will be such a shock that he won't want his son to hate him. He'll start being warmer. He…"

She sighed.

"He just doesn't know you. Leo can be really nice at times. You should see him with Wyatt."

She finished. It was a lot to take on Chris' half, but having origins such as his, he should be able to cope.

"Wow. I didn't look at it like that."

"I'm glad you do now."

"I'll tell everyone after we kill the…"

He stopped short because the waitress was coming with their meals.

"Here you go."

The waitress told them as she placed down their meals.

"Thanks."
Paige told the lady. She turned to Chris.

"Carry on."

"After we kill the soul stealer, I'll tell everyone who I am."

Chris concluded.

"How will everyone take that though?"
Paige wondered aloud.

"I don't know. Let's just hope their reaction will be pleasant."

"Let's hope so."

And they finish their meals. Chris left a cheque and as they were walking back past the men again, Cid, quickly grabbed Paige and kissed her. She pulled away to see Chris with a furious look on his face and casting a spell. She joined in and together, they made the guy turn to his friend and kiss him. Then they gave the guy pimply skin. They laughed and walked past. Cid was so shocked. Paige and Chris were laughing all the way to Paige's car.

"Who was that?"
"Like I said before, a guy from my past. Don't worry, after what we did to him, he won't bother me again."
"Even though what he did to you was totally un-called for, we shouldn't have done that much to him."
"Nah. We should have done more. Maybe dye his hair pink."

And they laughed all the way to the manor.

Back at the manor, they were about to sit down to dinner.

"Looks lovely Piper."
Barbas congratulated her. She gave him a warm smile. He was beginning to lighten up. It would be sad to kill him, but he must die.

"Well, lets not just sit here staring at the food, dig in."

Phoebe said to no one in particular. Barbas dished up the warm food and they all started to eat. After they had all finished, Barbas said

"Lovely Piper. You're a great cook."
"Thank you Barbas. It is nice to have someone who actually shows their appreciation."
Piper was about to stand up and clear up for dessert when Leo stopped her.

"You've done enough. Let me clear up."

He had obviously taken a hint.
"Thanks."

She said as she sat back down. 5 minutes later, Leo brought out the dessert.

"Chocolate pie and ice-cream."

He announced. Phoebe licked her lips.

"My favourite."

She said. They ate their desert, and then Phoebe cleared up. Everyone went out into the lounge for coffee. They talked about P3 and other little things.

"Hey, it's only half past 6. We've got another hour and a half. Let's see a movie."
Paige suggested as she was going past a movie theatre.

"Sounds good. Which movie?"
"There's a new one out called 'Charmed'. How about that?"
"Great."

And Paige pulled over and turned the car off. They got out and she locked the car. A blast of hot air blasted them as they walked through the door.

"Ah. That's good."

Paige commented as they walked in. She turned to face him.

"Since you paid for dinner, I'll pay for the movie."

She told him.

"Okay."

She walked over to the ticket booth.

"Two for 'Charmed'."

She told the guy.

"Ten dollars please."

Paige got out her wallet and gave the guy a ten-dollar note. She also gave him a sweet smile. He blushed. She walked back to where Chris was standing.

"He cute, is he?"

Chris had a cheeky look on his face. Paige slapped him with her bag. He chuckled.

"Nah. But to be honest, Phoebe thought you were sexy the first time she saw you. She probably still does."
They both thought that was very funny, so they both laughed until they cried. Paige wiped her eyes as she sits down. The seats were very comfy.

"Not even."
Chris exclaims.

"It's the truth."

She told him.

"So, if she did, what did you and Piper think?"
He asks her.

"Oh. Well, Piper was married. And now that I know who you are I don't think you're that hot."

Chris laughed.

"Yeah, but on first impression, what did you think?"
"Should I answer that one? Well, to be honest, I was drooling over you as much as Phoebe. BUT, now, no way."

She added quickly. Chris started to laugh again.

"Shut up."

She told him. She sounded like a teenager whose best friend had just told a guy that she liked him. The movie was very interesting. It was about three teenage witches much like herself. After the movie, they went and got an ice cream and drove home.

"Paige! Chris!"

Phoebe exclaimed as Paige and Chris walked through the door. They were dripping. It had rained and the closest park was two blocks away. They had had to walk.

"Can't stop. Need to change."
Paige sounded like a robot droning on. She headed on up the stairs.

"Chris."

Piper called as he had his left foot on the first stair.

"What?"
He called back.

"Come in here."

He sighed and walked into the lounge. His face was full of shock as he saw who was sitting in HIS armchair. Barbas.

"Chris, has Paige told you that Barbas will be staying in your room and you can sleep down here?"
He was shocked more.

"Obviously not. Go clean your room and get changed."

He cursed under his breath as he walked up the stairs. Why should he have to sleep downstairs? Although, he still did as Piper said. She may not know, but she was still his mother. After his room was decent enough, he went downstairs to find Leo sitting, alone, on a chair. He had a grim look on his face. Chris was about to turn around before Leo noticed, but he was a bit slow.

"Chris."

Leo said sternly. Chris shuddered and turned around to see Leo's eyes on him. He gulped. He was in trouble.

"Yeah?"

"Come in here. I need to talk to you."
"What, aren't you afraid that I'll hit you?"
Chris said sarcastically. Leo either doesn't know what sarcasm was, or he just wasn't showing it. Chris took a deep breath and walked over to him.

"Yeah?"

He repeated.

"What you did was unreasonable, but I deserved it."

Hold on, Chris thought, was Leo, the great big elder apologising to him?

"Did I hear you right? Did you just apologise?"

Chris said sarcastically.
"Kind of. It's just that, I don't want to be your enemy. So please, lighten up."
He sounded as though he was pleading.

"I'll think about it."

And Chris walked up the stairs.
