Magical Princess: couldbe... but then again it might not

Septdeneuf: glad you like the title i thought it up in one of my better moments. lol.

Charmedchick4eva: Ty for the review. Glad you think the characters are in character... i had real issues with Piper in that last chapter

Faith-Charmer: Wow, thanks for the review.I am also abigLinkin Park fan, but it just proves the incitiveness of the random function on Media player. Nice to see i'm not the only one who babbles when they are hyper; in case you didn't guess I'm writing this whole thing on one long sugar high! Glad you like the fic btw, which if you like it as much as i liked your reviewwill mean you keep reviewing:)

That goesfor everyone: i love reviews.

Part 3 – Powers gained, and er…not

Phoebe

The Empath sat opposite her boyfriend smiling broadly. Last time they had been together, discounting their meeting earlier that day at the newspaper, she had felt fear and hatred from him, now all she felt was love.

"So what have you been up to since… before?" he asked.

"You know the usual; answering letters saving the world from demons, attempting to deal with a pregnant Piper," she smiled, "the last thing being the toughest."

Jason laughed a little, "I can imagine. She's pregnant again?"

"Yeah, who knew you could get pregnant on the astral plane."

"Astral plane…"

"Yeah somewhere between life and death, a bit like limbo; her and Leo got trapped there"

"Oh."

The Empath smiled naughtily, "but you don't want to talk about that…" she leaned over to kiss him.

Leo

Leo was standing on top of the golden gate bridge again, unseen to the world below.

His mind was jingling with calls from the other elders, but at the moment he couldn't care less. He couldn't believe Piper was pregnant; he was going to be a father again. This changed everything; he couldn't leave his family again now, he just couldn't. This was not going to please the other elders. He sighed and orbed off to face their wrath.

Chris

Oh s---

'Oh don't worry little brother; I'm not coming for you… yet. But if you don't want some answers, fine. I'll keep what I know to myself.'

Oh s---

'Enough with the swearing already,' sighed the voice of the source of all evil, 'you know I'd never hurt you, little Chrissie; no matter what you do.'

So what you're here to torment me into submission?

'Ha. Fraid not little bro, I've got better plans than that; I'm here to help you.'

To help me stop you? Have you gone crazy?

'Of course not, I'm not going to let you change the future. But I'm also not going to let you get yourself killed in the past.'

Whatever.

'Fine, if you don't want my help don't take it. But I would suggest finding yourself some turnips.'

Stupid, evil older brother.

"Chris," called a voice.

"Leave me alone!" he yelled not realising this came from the next room not his mind.

Paige

"Chris," called the charmed one from the kitchen

"Leave me alone!" he yelled in response

"You better be decent!" yelled his aunt in response, and opened the door to the bathroom.

"Oh Paige, it's you," he said sounding somewhat relieved.

"Fearing the wrath of a pregnant Piper are we?" she asked jokingly

"What? Er, no."

"So what's the matter?"

"Nothing," he said pausing, "but we should get back to some serious demon hunting."

Groaning Paige thought, ' Darn I thought he was calming down on the demon hunting. Now he's back on overload'

"Come on," she complained, "we have enough potions to take over the world, I think we can protect Wyatt!"

"Yeah, fine," he said, giving in way too easily, "lets just go and buy some turnips then."

Ok that was a bit random why does he want to buy turnips?

"Er… ok. But why?"

"I'm going to test my… theory."

"Theory?" she asked thoroughly confused

"Yes I'm going to put them in front of Pipers belly and prove that it will not turn them into limes."

"Great…"

Ok he's gone crazy, concluded the witch. " You know I'm not sure turning turnips into limes is the actual power, more like the ability to transfigure one thing into another."

"So?"

"Well when the baby er 'allegedly' changed the turnips to limes, they were supposed to be limes anyway."

"Yeah?"

"Well these turnips are supposed to be turnips, so it probably won't work. Not that I think placing turnips in front of Piper's belly is the best plan anyway…"

"Do you have a better one?"

"No."

"Then turnip shopping we go!"
