Hi, this is my first Charmed fanfiction. I don't know how good it is, but I think that if I keep writing more that it will be good. So if you have any suggestions or things which I should change at all to make my story better, please e-mail me at boing(underscore)487hotmail.com. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
It was early Saturday morning in San Francisco. At the Halliwell Manor, it was very quiet. No one was awake. Suddenly, the alarm clock in someone's room went off.
"Paige! Can you turn of your alarm clock? It's 6:30 in the morning on a Saturday." Piper walked into Paige's room and glared at her sister with an annoyed expression on her face. Then Phoebe, who came home late the night before, came in with a gigantic yawn.
"Paige, it's a Saturday. Can't you take a day off from being super witch and just sleep in?"
"Sorry, guys. I just have a lot of work to do, you know. Since I quit my job, there's nothing to do besides read the book of shadows, memorize different vanquishing spells, make potions, and try different spells. I believe that if I wake up at 6:30 every day, I can get more stuff done and so if something comes up, then I won't be behind schedule."
"You actually made a schedule for all of this," said Phoebe looking at Paige with an astonished look.
"Well, yeah, of course."
"Oh Paige, honey. Did reading so much in the Book of Shadows make you a little insane? Maybe you should sit down and relax," said Piper.
"No, stop that. I'm not insane. I just think that if something suddenly happens to us, it'll be good if one of us is actually prepared and knows what to do in that situation. Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going for my shower so that I can get a quick and early start on some vanquishing potions." Then Paige orbed out of her room.
"Piper, what are we going to do about her? I mean, if she keeps this up, then she'll work herself to death."
"I know Phoebe, but she's a really determined person. If we want to slow her down a little and make her relax, we could try a spell but then it might count as the personal gain thing. So how we'll stop her is beyond me."
"Oh fine then. I guess that since there's nothing we can do, I'll go back to my room to get some more beauty sleep." Just as Phoebe started walking out of Paige's room, Piper yanked her by her arm and said, "Oh no you don't. I can't go back to sleep so neither will you. Come help me with my cooking. It'll be fun." Then Piper and Phoebe went back to their rooms to get ready.
Down in the kitchen, Paige was working real hard on some vanquishing spell which she had seen in the book. Right when she was going to get something from the pantry, Leo appeared and said, "Hi Paige. Wow, you're up early on a Saturday morning, again. Shouldn't you be sleeping upstairs like your sisters?"
"Hello Leo and no I shouldn't be sleeping upstairs right now. Speaking of me being up so early, if it's so early according to you, what are you doing here, huh?"
"Um, well you know. Piper and I, we have some stuff to do so I thought that I'd get here early so that she can help me with it."
"Right, well if you want her, I think she's getting ready because if I know Piper, she won't be able to go back to sleep."
"Thanks Paige," said Leo and he orbed out of the kitchen.
"You know what?" said Paige to herself, "This is a really small kitchen. I just noticed that. Maybe I can make it bigger by taking off the back entrance. I'll have to ask Piper and Phoebe though. If there's more room in the kitchen, then that'll mean that there is more room for me to work on potions and more room for Piper to cook." Paige was so deep in thought that she didn't even notice Piper, Phoebe, and Leo standing in front of her.
"Paige, what are you doing?" asked Piper.
"I'm trying to make a vanquishing spell for werewolves."
"Well, it sure doesn't look like it," said Phoebe.
"What are you talking about? Oh dear," said Paige. As she looked around, she saw that all of the ingredients needed to make any kind of spell possible were littered around the kitchen. There were some things in the sink, some things on the table, some things hanging on the window, they were everywhere. "This means that I'm in trouble right?"
"Yeah, now come on; move out of the kitchen and up to the attic."
Once they were all upstairs in the attic, Piper told Paige to sit down on the couch. "Ok Paige," she said. "You have been working way too hard. I know that it seems to you that you still have a long way to go before you finish reading the Book of Shadows but the Elders have decided that they are going to give you a break. So, just for today your powers will not work. Isn't that great Phoebe?" she said turning to Phoebe who gave Piper a look of gratitude.
"Great? How can you guys be so, so, heartless?" said Paige. "I need my powers. I mean, I have to read all I can about every demon in the book."
"See? That's why they are doing this to you Paige. You are overworking yourself and have become obsessed with killing demons," said Leo. "The Elders are very concerned about you and they can't have one of the Charmed ones be so overworked that she can't even get up to fight. Take the break Paige. You desperately need it."
"Fine, fine, fine, I'll take a break, but just for today. Are we going to go anywhere today?"
"Nowhere," said Phoebe. "At least right now nowhere; we're gonna help Piper with her cooking unfortunately."
"Hey, I heard that," said Piper.
"Well, I guess since I'm not needed right now, I'll be going." Then Leo orbed away.
"So, what are we making Piper?" said Phoebe and Paige together.
"We're going to make bean casserole!" said Piper.
"Great," said Paige sarcastically. "Bean casserole is my all time favorite food."
Two Hours Later:
"Now what?" said Paige.
"Time for a little shopping to buy new jeans; all my old jeans are starting to get a little stained after so much demon messes have gotten on them."
"Oh, sorry Piper and Paige, I'm going out to lunch with Cole. I don't want to miss it especially since we scheduled it two weeks ago. So if you'll both excuse me, I have to go." Phoebe raced out of the kitchen, put on her dark green sweater that she got at the mall and left.
"Phoebe! Come back here right now!" said Piper
"It doesn't look like she heard you Piper."
"Humph, well then that's her loss, because we're going to her favorite mall where all her favorite stores are and all her favorite restaurants are," said Piper.
"Boy, all of Phoebe's favorite things. What if I don't like anything there?"
"Trust me, you will."
At the Mall:
"Wow Piper, it's been ages since I've been to the mall. The place has changed so much."
"You really think so Paige? I haven't really noticed considering that I come here a lot."
"Well you know that I probably would have come here if I had enough time. I mean if I didn't have to read the Book of Shadows then I would be here a lot."
"Who said that you had to read the Book of Shadows Paige?"
"No one did, I just felt like I had to read it. You and Phoebe have been witches for much longer than I have so I've felt like I've had less experience that you guys have had."
"No, don't feel that way. You are our sister; you've always been a witch no matter what even though you never got your powers until Prue died. It's ok to feel like how you do but Phoebe and I don't want to feel like we are pressuring you to be better than you already are because you are a great witch as it is, ok?"
"Ok. You know, your speech made me feel really good about myself but I still feel that I should keep reading the Book of Shadows," said Paige.
"Good, I'm glad that you feel better, now let's get some ice cream," said Piper and they both walked to the nearest Baskin Robins.
At home after the mall:
"Thanks Piper for taking me to the mall. If you hadn't taken me there, I never would have realized that there were so many new clothes which looked fabulous on me. It's a good thing I bought so many of them," said Paige looking at her ten shopping bags on the couch.
"Uh, you're welcome. Remind me never to take you to the mall again if you're gonna go on a big shopping spree like this. I feel so tired that I could literally drop and go to sleep right now."
"You do that. I'll finish up on the werewolves potion and clean up the kitchen." And before Piper could say anything, Paige walked out of the living room and went into the kitchen.
"Man, I am so exhausted right now. I feel so glad that I only knew Phoebe as my younger sister ten years ago. I bet if Paige was also living with us then the house would be a mess. You know I can actually picture Phoebe and Paige fighting over clothes ten years ago," thought Piper to herself. Then she dropped onto the couch with a sigh and fell asleep.
"I'm home!" shouted Phoebe. "Gee, where is everyone?"
"Phoebe, be quiet. Piper's trying to sleep!"
"Oh, sorry. Hey, why is she sleeping? It's only 2:00. And what are these bags?"
"Well, after you left to go meet Cole, Piper took me to the mall where we went to practically every shop there and got something for me. Piper didn't find anything that she liked."
"You mean all these clothes are yours?" asked Phoebe with a look of wonder on her face. "These clothes are so, so, so fabulous. I mean I've been to the mall recently but these clothes... can I borrow these jeans?"
"Sure as long as you give them back."
"Ok, no problem. Thanks Paige. You know, you and I, we should go to the mall every weekend and buy clothes. Now that would be fun." Then giving Paige a hug, Phoebe went upstairs to her room.
After Paige went into the kitchen and went to make sure that she had put everything back where it belonged, she noticed that she hadn't put the Book of Shadows back in the attic so she went upstairs and put the book back on the stand. While doing that, she noticed a long piece of paper hanging out of a chest. When she picked it up and looked at it, she noticed that it was the Halliwell family tree but she and her dad Sam, were not on it.
"What are you looking at?"
"Oh, Phoebe, you scared me. I'm just looking at the family tree. I'm not on it and neither is my dad."
"That can be changed, but if you're wondering why. It must me like that because now one knew about you. Don't feel bad. I'll ask Leo to make the Elders add you. The thing that I hate about this tree is that if the Elders don't know about family members then the name won't be on the family tree."
"Do you think that since the Elders forgot to put me on the family, they will give me my powers back? I know that they only took them away for today but it would be real nice to have them back," said Paige with a thoughtful expression.
"I wouldn't count on it Paige. They probably wouldn't do that because they think that you might tire yourself out. Don't worry you'll get them back tomorrow.
Phoebe then looked towards the top of the family tree and said, "Melinda Warren. She was so nice to us when we called her to help us but it was too bad that she was burned."
"Why was she burned?"
"Well, somehow people found out that she was a witch, the first one in our family, and she was burned. Though she was burned, her daughter, Prudence Warren, survived somehow. I wonder how? She must have had her powers already but I'll bet that it was real hard for her to lose her mother at such an early age. But maybe because Melinda died at such an early age, all the witches in our family are also cursed to die at an early age. I mean, I've almost died a few times. You almost died, and Piper did die in another time, but dying comes naturally to us since we're the Charmed Ones."
"Right. I lost you at the part where you started talking about dying at an early age but I get the rest of what you said before that."
"Ok, well, I'm gonna go to the office and make sure that I get my column in or else Elise is going to be excruciatingly mad."
"Sure, but Phoebe, Piper is making dinner or something like that so be back by six at least!" shouted Paige.
At 6:20:
"Where is Phoebe, Paige? Didn't you tell her that I was making dinner today and that everyone would be coming?" asked Piper.
"Everyone?"
"Yeah, like me, you, Leo, Phoebe, and unfortunately Cole. Though, I like Cole, I'm still not sure about having a demon at the dinner table," said Piper who looked like she could kill someone just by looking at them.
Then Leo orbed in and Cole shimmered in, both apologizing for being late. "No, you're not late. It's Phoebe who's late!" said Piper. "And if this food does not taste good don't blame it on me because you're supposed to eat it when it's hot."
Right after Piper finished saying that, Phoebe walked in saying, "I am so sorry that I'm late. I got caught up at work telling this new intern there about these jeans, which I borrowed from Paige. She does not know when to stop talking. She knows everything about every single brand of clothes and I'm surprised that she wants to be a journalist instead of a fashion magazine editor." Then, looking at Piper, who was giving her a death glare, she said, "Ok, I'll shut up now."
"Finally," said Piper, who was starting to get frustrated that they wouldn't eat. "A nice peaceful dinner for the first time in five months. No one to bother us at all. Talk people, that's what usually happens at a dinner table."
"I'll start by saying something," said Cole. "As you all know, I've been avoiding any contact with The Source for a couple of weeks now and when I went down there to see what was going on, there was a rumor going around that a couple of bounty hunters found me dead at the bottom of a lake."
"That means no demons will come looking for you now, right?" asked Phoebe.
"Hopefully," said Cole.
Suddenly there was a rattle and the table started to shake. Then all the dishes started falling off the table and onto the ground. "No! Not now! We were just beginning to have a normal dinner," moaned Piper.
"Calm down Piper," said Leo.
"I'm sure that it was only a small earthquake or something. You know that we sometimes get major ones here in San Francisco," said Paige. Then the whole room began to shake and the lights began to flicker. "Then again this just might be something supernatural."
"Don't say that it's something supernatural Paige. If Piper hears that word, then she'll freak and go on about how tiring it is being a witch and never being able to have a normal life," said Phoebe. Then all the lights began to flicker again and the lights went out.
"Ok, this is getting me real angry right now. Leo, can you and Cole go down to the basement and check and see if there was a short circuit?"
"Sure Piper," said Leo. "Let's go Cole." But before they could go out of the room, a bright blue light started glowing. The light was so bright that it blinded everyone.
"I can't see a thing! Cole, where are you?" yelled Phoebe.
"You don't have to yell," yelled Paige.
"Funny," said Piper. "Especially since you are also yelling," shouted Piper who was getting even more annoyed by the bright light. "I can't see! I wish that this light would just go away so that we can go back to being normal people again, who were having dinner."
"Just try to calm down Piper. Keep your eyes closed." Leo was about to say more, but he was cut off by a loud roar of wind that had somehow come into the house. Then there was a gigantic CRACK and the wind started sucking Piper, Phoebe, and Paige into a hole that had appeared out of nowhere.
"Help!" screamed Paige.
"Leo! Help us, get us out of this wind!" yelled Piper.
Then Cole, who had been amazed by what he was seeing tried grabbing onto Phoebe, but he missed and Phoebe was sucked into the hole along with Paige and Piper. Then, everything went back to normal. No wind, no bright blue light, no loud noises, no tremors, and no Piper, Phoebe, or Paige.
It was early Saturday morning in San Francisco. At the Halliwell Manor, it was very quiet. No one was awake. Suddenly, the alarm clock in someone's room went off.
"Paige! Can you turn of your alarm clock? It's 6:30 in the morning on a Saturday." Piper walked into Paige's room and glared at her sister with an annoyed expression on her face. Then Phoebe, who came home late the night before, came in with a gigantic yawn.
