Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed and any character that you have seen on the show. I don't own The Parent trap either. I just borrowed the characters and idea to write my Charmed version of the great classical movie "The Parent trap".
Thanks again to my reviewers for taking the time to make a review. I know we don't always have the time for it, but it's really nice to know that people are reading and liking your story.
The Parent trap
Chapter 3
Face to Face
Faith came out of the bathroom and stopped, stupefied. The girl before her was her exact copy, with the exception of her hair that was shoulders length and permed. Amanda was staring at Faith too, with the same look of intense stupefaction. Nadine and Maria, unable to talk for once, were looking at them with big eyes. Even the 2 Chinese girls, alerted by the sudden silence were looking at them.
Faith came out of it first.
" Wow! I know we are all supposed to have a double but I sure never thought that I would met mine."
"Me neither!" said Amanda laughing, "I'm Amanda Turner."
"And I am Faith Halliwell."
The tension in the room disappeared. The Chinese girls got back to their conversation; Nadine and Maria started to explain the rules again to a less than interested Amanda. Luckily for her, the dinnertime came soon and the girls headed for the dinner room. After the dinner Sensi Hoshimoto talked to his students. He explained how the session works, the first day he would watch them to determine their forces and weakness, then they would receive their personalized program for the session. He also told them to sleep early since they were awaited at 6h30 Am for the first training of the day. Faith and Amanda tried to talk before sleeping but Nadine quickly reminded them that keeping quiet after the light were closed, was one of the room's rules.
The morning came fast; the girls woke up at 5h45 and had to race to be ready for their first training. Half asleep the 36 girls of the summer session took place before Sensi Hoshimoto in one of the training room. Two by two they trained for 2 hours before being allow to stop one hour for the breakfast. The day continued like that, 2 hours of training and 1 hour break for lunch, collation or dinner. After the dinner the girls were finally free but exhausted. This time Amanda and Faith were able to talk a little before falling asleep, just enough to tell the other about their family and where they leaved.
The next morning the girls got their personalized program. Faith and Amanda found out that they were together most of the time. They were both in the expert class much to Nadine and Maria's disappointment. Sensi Hoshimoto set them together to train and Amanda was surprised by Faith strength. She knew that being part demon she was stronger than the usual teenager but apparently Faith had her own strength. Faith was also surprised, she was usually beating human opponent easily since she was so used to fight with magical being but Amanda was so strong that she had trouble keeping up.
The first half of the session went very fast. Sensi Hoshimoto and his team of trainers were very good and both girls were learning new moves and becoming stronger. They were finally really happy to be at the school. They had become good friends and were spending their free time together away from their room. They had found a place in the little park behind the school and were going there for a couple of hour after dinner every day. Some other girls were going in the park too but Faith and Amanda were staying alone together most of the time, talking about their life, their family and mostly about boys.
That evening, Faith and Amanda were returning to their room for the night. Nadine and Maria were a few stairs above them when Nadine missed a stair and started to fall, Maria paralyzed could only watch her. Amanda run up the stairs to catch her and Faith quickly raised her hand freezing everyone in the stairs. Everyone but Amanda who continuing her race, caught Nadine and stabilized her on the stair before noticing that the girl was frozen. She turned around and looked at Faith.
"You are a witch!" They both exclaimed at the same time.
Before they could say another word, they heard a door open upstairs. After exchanging a short glance, Amanda turned around and put her hands on Nadine as Faith unfroze her and Maria.
"Oh watch out Nadine, you could of hurt yourself." Said Amanda.
"Huh, how did you get here so fast" Asked Maria surprised.
"I acted instead of freaking out." Amanda answered shortly.
Maria blushed and decided that it was in her best interest to drop the subject. Silently the 4 girls kept going up the stairs until their floor. Faith and Amanda were dying to talk about what happened but they knew they couldn't talk about magic in front of the others.
Author notes: I have been very vague about martial arts because I don't know much about them. If something doesn't make sense, well now you know why. ;)
