Chapter Three: P3
Phoebe jumped up and turned around quickly, throwing her hands up karate style. She aimed a blow at the demon, who shimmered and appeared behind Paige. It tried to grab Paige, but she quickly orbed next to Tanya and Piper, who flicked her hands and froze the demon.
"Athame," Paige yelled, and the athame it had been holding immediately reformed in her hand.
She threw the weapon straight at the demon, and it screamed in agony. Suddenly the demon was lifted off its feet and thrown into the island, bursting into flames and disappearing without a trace.
"What just happened?" Paige asked,
"Uh… a demon attacked us and we vanquished it?" Tanya said.
"I get that, but how did it slam into the island telekinetically? None of us have that power."
"Maybe our powers are growing?" Piper suggested.
Tanya looked a little uncomfortable. "Actually, that's my power."
"What?" Phoebe exclaimed.
"Yeah, my family has always been pretty powerful. My mother's power was telekinesis, and I inherited it from her."
"Wow, I didn't realize you were that powerful," Paige said.
"Well, I haven't exactly told you every little thing about me yet."
"You know telekinesis was Prue's power," Phoebe informed Tanya.
"She knows. She stalking us and she knows everything about us," Piper said, a mischievous grin on her face.
"Piper!" Tanya cried as the two of them burst out laughing.
"Sorry, couldn't resist."
"Okay, right," Paige said as she and Phoebe looked weirdly at the other two.
"Anyway, Pipe, it's almost seven, we should leave soon."
Fifteen minutes later, the four of them had changed, Tanya and Paige wearing new clothes they had bought that morning. They called Leo and dropped Wyatt off with Sheila and Darryl so they could take care of him for the night. Then they drove to the club in Piper's black SUV, chattering excitedly the whole way.
"Let's go through the back way," Phoebe said when they got to the club.
"Nice crowd here," Tanya noted,
"Probably all heard Michelle Branch was playing. We normally get a pretty big crowd, but when there's live music a lot more people show up," Piper replied.
Inside P3, a few people had just started to come in and were mostly sitting at the bar with drinks or dancing to music playing from a boom box. The four girls went to Piper's VIP alcoves and talked while Leo brought them all drinks and water for Piper. (A/N: Piper is about four months pregnant with Chris, although, she doesn't know that Chris is her son yet.)
An hour later, the crowd cheered loudly as Michelle began to sing, and everyone started to dance. Piper pulled Leo out onto the floor, and Paige, Phoebe and Tanya laughed as they watched them.
"Come on, let's go closer to the stage," Phoebe said.
The three stood and went to go sit at the bar. Immediately, a guy who looked about Tanya's age came over and asked her to dance. She looked over to the sisters, who nodded and she headed off with him.
"Suddenly, I feel old," Phoebe said as she watched Tanya dance with about fifteen different guys in twenty minutes.
"You wanna dance?" Paige asked.
"Sure."
As soon as they started dancing, two guys came up and asked each sister to dance. About ten dances later, the gang met up again back at the VIP alcoves.
"Did you guys have fun?" Tanya asked.
"Yeah, lots of fun," Leo said, smiling at Piper.
"What about you? I saw you with I think every single guy here," Piper said.
"Not every guy, just the cute ones," Tanya replied, and they all laughed.
"You sound just like Paige," Phoebe said.
"Actually, I only danced with two guys," Paige retorted.
"Oh, loosing your touch, are you?"
Paige glared at her sister, and the rest of them laughed again.
"Come on you guys, we should go. I have to pick up Wyatt," Piper said.
They nodded and went back out to the car. They headed over to the Morris' home, picked up baby Wyatt and headed to the manor.
"Morning, how'd you sleep?" Phoebe asked the next morning, walking into the kitchen freshly showered and dressed.
"Great, thanks," Tanya replied. She had slept on the floor of Phoebe's room where they had made up a bed. Phoebe had offered to take the floor and let Tanya have the bed, but she insisted she was fine.
Tanya, who had woken up earlier to shower, handed Phoebe a mug of steaming coffee, and sat next to her at the table.
"So what are you going to do today?" Phoebe asked, pouring cereal and milk into a bowl.
"I'm not sure yet."
"Great, do you want to come with me to work? It might be fun, we could even go to lunch after."
"Sure, that sounds good."
Phoebe smiled, "Okay, let me just finish my cereal and then we can go."
Five minutes later they were sitting in Paige's car, since she had offered to drop them off on her way to her temp job. They hurried into Phoebe's office and she showed the teenager all the letters she had to reply to.
"I'm an advice columnist, so basically I just choose a letter and write an answer back to the person question. It's a pretty cool job, especially 'cause I can take time off for demon vanquishes and work at home whenever I need to."
"Sounds like fun, mind if I help you?"
"I'd love help. Why don't you choose a letter?" Phoebe replied.
Back at the manor, Piper had gone to P3 to work on a delivery that was supposed to come in today and had left Leo at home to watch Wyatt. At the moment Leo was reading a story to Wyatt, who was listening happily. Just then, Chris orbed in next to Wyatt.
"Hi Chris. Haven't seen you in a while. Where've you been?"
"Mostly at magic school doing research. They let me sleep there. So, where is everyone?" Chris asked.
"Working."
Chris nodded, and watched as Leo looked up, hearing the Elder's call for him.
"I have to go, they're calling. Could you watch Wyatt for me?" Leo asked.
"Yeah, no problem. I have to look at the book anyway."
Leo smiled his thanks and orbed out.
Chris turned to Wyatt. "Okay, big bro, I guess it's just you and me."
"I'm going back to the manor now. Thanks for lunch," Tanya said.
"K, see you later," Phoebe waved.
Ten minutes later, Tanya walked into the manor, going up to Phoebe's room and dropping her things on the floor. She walked out and turned into Wyatt's room.
"Hey there, little guy," she said.
Chris, who was in the attic with the baby monitor heard her voice and, not recognizing it, quickly orbed down to the room. Tanya looked up when she saw the blue and white orbs, expecting to see Leo or Paige.
She gasped when she saw who it was. "Chris!"
Chris looked at her for a minute, taking in her big brown eyes and her straight, long dark hair, almost black. His green eyes widened as he recognized her. "Tanya?"
