A week later, Chris and Christine orbed into the manor and said hi to Piper in the kitchen. "What have you kids been up to?" she asked. Chris took Christine's hand and smiled at his mom. "We've just been training, and we need a break. Got any chocolate chip cookies?" he asked. Piper smiled and bantered, "How'd you know I was baking?" Sliding a plate across the counter she went to the fridge and got a carton of milk out. "Christine, could you get two glasses from the cupboard please?" "Sure Piper!" she said, picking two glasses out and setting them on the counter. Piper poured out the milk and gave them to her son and his charge and watched as they ate the cookies. "What are you guys going to do now?" she asked.
Chris smiled and responded, "We're going to go up to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, check out the view. Thanks for the cookies and milk, Mom!" Christine smiled and thanked her too as she took Chris's hand and they orbed out. They reappeared on top of the bridge and Christine peered over the edge. "Wow, we're really high up!" she noted as Chris watched her. "Here, sit down over here." He pulled her down next to him and they looked out over the bay. "It's so beautiful! Thank you for showing it to me." She leaned forward and kissed Chris and he kissed her back, wrapping his arms around her. "I'm glad you're safe and you still have your powers! You were very brave to fight your father like that!" Christine blushed and told him, "I just didn't want him to hurt you anymore, he had no right! He wasen't my father, he was never there for me. Thank you for encouraging me and helping me gain confidence in myself, Chris! I love you!"
Chris brushed Christine's hair out of her eyes and says "I love you too Christine! You are amazing and I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date with me sometime. Something simple, dinner and a movie?" Christine smiled back and said, "I'd love to go on a date with you, Chris! Should we go on Friday, there's a good action movie coming out?" "Sure, that sounds great! Chris agreed and they sat up there for a while longer, just enjoying the view.
