Peanut2lb: Glad you liked it! Glad you liked the quips! And Piper's line about Grace taking Prue's common sense! Phoebe and Gabby will continue their feud until the end of this fic, and next chapter will be one of, probably, many explosive confrontations between the two!
Money makes me smile: Glad you liked it! Glad you liked the Grace subplot!
Princess Pinky: Glad you liked it! Glad you liked the twist with Borx!
The-Cheese-Fairy: Glad you liked it! I haven't actually seen Jawbreaker! Narnia isn't in this chapter much, or come to think of it in next chapter, but there is lots of previous parts from Simply Charmed when they went to Narnia!
Fanmania: Glad you liked it! Glad you liked Gabrielle's 'witch bitch'!
Previously, just over three years ago-
In the attic, Phoebe was looking through some old stuff when she came across a book she had liked when she was younger, 'the lion, the witch and the wardrobe',
"if magic is real, then maybe this is too," she said to herself. She opened the book and got a shock when a group of icy-blue sparks sprang from inside it and joined together, forming a large oval,
"this isn't good," Phoebe said, but she felt drawn to the blue oval and before she had chance to call for her sisters, it swallowed her whole. It stayed in the air for several moments before spitting back out the book and fading away.
Also-
Phoebe had been wandering the forest, where the blue portal had taken her, for about ten minutes when she found herself back where she had started, she began to walk again when a loud voice yelled,
"our new Queen has arrived," then a bunch of merry dwarves ran from behind the trees. They all huddled together and picked Phoebe up, carrying her away,
"this isn't good," she said,
"yes it is, you'll be Queen of Narnia," one of them said.
And-
Phoebe gave a smile as two female fawns made alterations to the dress they had prepared for her,
"it's beautiful," she told them. The dress was gold silk, with white roses embroidered onto the corset, which had straps made up of bronze coins, just like the belt which sat on her hips.
"The coronation will be soon," a dwarf told her, popping his head round the door,
"there shall be no coronation," snarled a voice, and then a woman entered the chamber. Her skin was like chalk, her lips icy-blue and her eyes blank, her long grey hair was streaked with white and silver, and hung over her shoulders, she wore a long, grey, robe and though she looked quite feminine, she had masculine features.
Finally-
Philip joined Phoebe's side and put his arm around her,
"Phoebe, he's our uncle," Piper said, these words made Phoebe remember what happened when Prue and grams had come,
"it's true, you're our uncle, and you're using me to rule Narnia because you want its power," Phoebe said, hitting him with an energy ball. The most powerful solar demon, below the king, grabbed Philip and absorbed his magic, before setting him on fire with some sunlight.
"One more family member we'll never know," Phoebe said, glancing over at the pile of ash which their uncle had become, then she removed her crown and put it down on the throne, "who's the rightful heir to Narnia?" she asked the nearest dwarf,
"I don't know," he shrugged, "but we'll find out, just leave it to us."
Lost In Narnia…Again:
"I still don't understand why you're doing this," Cole said, setting Cassandra down on the bed,
"because I have some time off and want to see what's happened since I was there," Phoebe explained. She stepped out of the bathroom, wearing the gown she had worn as Queen of Narnia,
"you look beautiful," Cole complimented,
"I bet all the fawns and dwarves will think so too, and some of them are quite cute," she grinned,
"I hope you're joking," he said, smiling and wrapping his arms around her waist, planting a kiss on her lips.
"Momma," Cassandra called,
"of course I haven't forgotten about you," Phoebe cooed, walking over and scooping her daughter up into her arms, giving her a kiss,
"dada," Cassandra said, shimmering into her father's arms.
"Maybe after I'm gone for a bit she'll want to cuddle me more and shimmer to you less," Phoebe said. Cassandra gave her mother an apologetic smile and batted her eyelashes, Phoebe blew her daughter a kiss before turning to the open wardrobe behind her and chanting:
"beyond these doors the lion may wait,
though I shall not expect the witch we all hate,
to the once snowy land may I return,
stay there until no more does this burn."
She lit a match and opened the locket she wore, making a small, magical, fire inside it before closing it, she blew out the match and waved goodbye to her husband and daughter as she ducked down, stepping into the wardrobe and the green portal which had formed inside it.
The Angelic Seer stepped out of the green portal and into a beautiful garden,
"this place is amazing," she gasped, glancing around at the giant flowerbeds and blossom trees which were scattered everywhere, and then up at the sandy-coloured castle.
"Queen Phoebe?" a voice asked, she turned to see the fawn, who had helped her many times during her first visit to Narnia, standing a few centimetres behind her,
"I'm not your Queen anymore, by the looks of things I'd say you have a new, perfect, ruler," she replied, they shared a smile.
Meanwhile, Gabrielle had been watching over the events in the Turner household with help from the crystal seeing ball she had sneakily robbed from the Olympian Oracle, whom shared the Seer duties with Phoebe.
"This is perfect," she grinned, putting the crystal ball back in the box she kept it in and grabbing her yellow handbag and leaving the house.
Back at the penthouse, Cole made sure Cassie was strapped into her stroller right and shimmered them out, just as Gabrielle forced open the doors with a blue burst.
"Like putty in my hands," she said, walking through to the bedroom and facing the wardrobe Phoebe had gone through, "I hope you're having fun in Narnia, you're gonna be there awhile," the fashion columnist said. She focused all her in energy into her power, forming a large globe of blue, releasing it at the wardrobe and laughing as it exploded into separate pieces of wood, she grinned one final time at the remains of the wardrobe before strolling from the room, and then exiting the penthouse.
At the manor, Piper sat reading through the page about Borx in the Book of Shadows,
"it says he's the brother of Hecate, who I'm pretty sure we've fought before," she told Prue, who along with Paige had come round to do some research,
"yeah, I think she was the demon goddess thing who was desperate to have some devil baby," Prue stated.
"Devil baby, sounds a bit like Megra, in fact, I'm pretty sure I've heard Gabrielle call her devil child before," Paige said,
"is there a vanquish?" Prue asked, Piper shook her head,
"there must be a way to vanquish him, I mean we've vanquished a god before, why not this demon," she replied,
"we'll find a way, we always do," the youngest charmed one said, biting into her chocolate biscuit.
Not much later, Paige walked into the Bay Mirror and went straight over to Gabrielle's office. Phoebe had asked the witchlighter to keep an eye of the fashion columnist while she was away for a day or two in Narnia. Paige stepped into the office, glad that it was empty as this meant she could have her first turn at snooping around Gabrielle's stuff, she closed and locked the door before moving over to the desk and beginning to open the draws.
"What's this?" she asked, holding up a strange pendant, it was a summoning Satan, she concentrated, orbing the Book of Shadows to her. The pages flipped by themselves and turned to the page about summoning Satans,
"now it all makes sense," she said, after reading the page, "the devil child, why Gabrielle's so secretive, Borx returning," she continued, "Gabrielle is Hecate's daughter!" she exclaimed, dissolving into orbs.
Back at the manor, Piper dodged the energy ball which Borx had just thrown,
"you can't hide forever witch," he said, waltzing over to the couch she was ducked down behind, another energy ball bouncing up and down in his hand.
"You're right," she said, getting up and forming a pyrokinetic spear, shooting it at him and creating a burn in his chest,
"you'll pay for that," he hissed, blasting her into the wall with a large energy ball, her limp body falling to the ground.
"As will you," a voice said, Borx turned to see Leo,
"oh look, an Elder," he grinned,
"a pissed off Elder," Leo corrected, firing lightening bolts at the demon, electrifying his body and making him flame out to escape the pain the power of the vengeful Elder was causing him. Leo ran over to his wife and released his healing glow over her body, curing her wounds.
In Narnia, it was past midnight and Phoebe had said her goodbyes to the fawns and new Queen, Isabella, but when she opened her locket to see the flame finally burn out,
"goodbye," she said, giving them a small wave. She closed her eyes, expecting to feel the familiar sensation of transportation magic, but when she felt nothing she opened her eyes shocked,
"what's wrong?" Isabella asked,
"Gabrielle," Phoebe growled, anger flaring in her eyes.
To be continued…
Next chapter- It looks like Gabrielle's lost again, as Cassandra uses her telekinetic-shimmering for the first time since in the womb, and shimmers her mother back to the real world. Once back in her rightful realm Phoebe stages an argumentative attack on Gabrielle, leading to a catfight in P3 and the reopening of some old wounds for both women.
'Not So Little Women' should be up soon.
