Christening Chaos, Round 3
Disclaimer: Same as before...I don't own Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit either. However the character of Father Flanagan is my creation.
"So let me get this straight," Ted asked, "The reason you can orb like Leo is because you're half-Whitelighter like your nephews."
"Exactly." Paige replied.
"How did that happen, again?" Ted asked, "If you don't mind me asking."
"My Dad wasn't Victor Halliwell. I have the same mom as my three sisters, but Mom had an affair with Sam, her Whitelighter before she died." Paige replied, "And after Prue was killed and reincarnated on another world, I found out that I was a witch just like my half-sisters. I started coming to P3, Piper's club, for reasons I couldn't understand at the time. I discovered my powers in time to vanquish Prue's killer and moved in with my sisters."
"You have an interesting family." Ted replied.
"You're one to talk." Paige said, playfully, "You're half-English and half-Scot on your father's side, and half French-Canadian on your mother's. Not to mention your father was an ex-Green Beret during Vietnam, with three tours under his belt who went back to Syracuse University to get his undergraduate degree after the war and became an archaeologist. When he was on a dig in Egypt he met your mother and then after you were born you started spending summers in Israel and the rest of your years in Canada, with a brief stint in America. Who's got the interesting life, now?"
"Point made." Ted replied, "But we've not run into witches or Whitelighters or mutants before. Nor do I have an older sibling or half-sibling who was killed and reincarnated to fight the Heartless on other worlds."
"Well I didn't happen to spend nine and a half years in Israel, six of them with an undercover riot squad." Paige replied.
"Well I've not been chasing demons around for the past three years, or knowing I'm some kind of good witch." Ted replied, "Though I'm glad I happen to be dating one."
"I think we can agree both of us have had interesting lives." Paige replied as they walked back to Misfit Manor.
"No, I am fine! I don't need you three meddling in my personal affairs" Phoebe shouted at the air, "Cole is in my PAST!"
"You know, a week ago this would have been very strange, even for me." Paige replied.
"The Coyotes are back? What a surprise." Ted replied, rolling his eyes.
"Why do I get the feeling this christening ceremony is going to drive us crazy?" Paige asked.
"If Phoebe's this bad, I wonder how bad Piper's going to be?" Ted replied.
"I think we're going to find out." Paige replied.
"HA HA HA HAR!" The Pirates all shouted in chorus with bottles of rum.
An extremely harried Piper greeted them, "Who's idea was this again?"
"If I remember correctly, Piper, you agreed to it." Paige replied.
"Paige..." Piper just about growled, "This christening cannot get any more insane..."
Little did Piper realize just how wrong she could be as they all walked back into the house while Phoebe was yelling at the air.
Just then, they heard maniacal laughter, the sounds of electricity, and the shout of three teenaged girls shouting, "IT'S ALIVE!"
"Socket wrench." Brittany said.
"Here." Daria said.
"Just a few more adjustments and Baby Alex's Christening gift will be ready." Quinn replied, as she typed away at the keyboard.
Underneath the tarp was a man sized figure. "All done. Final mechanical adjustments made." Brittany said.
"Programming complete, all songs downloaded from everyone's iTunes accounts." Quinn replied.
"Mr. Friend is ready for action!" Quinn shouted.
"Bring it to life!" Daria shouted
Daria threw a switch and the three girls chanted, "IT'S ALIVE!"
"OK, you guys seem awfully calm about all this?" Piper observed.
"This isn't the first time Trinity has invented something completely insane." Arcade remarked.
"I wonder what it is this time?" Fred observed.
"It can't be any worse than any of Forge's inventions." Kitty observed.
"Five will get you ten that it's a robot of some kind." Wanda replied.
"You're on." Althea replied.
"I guarantee it's going to cause madness and destruction." Xi replied.
"You guys are insane." Piper remarked.
"I'll bet it's something for the baby." Fred replied.
"Oh no!" Pietro remarked, "If it's anything like the Auto-Poop Diaper Changer that Trinity invented last year, it's going to be a disaster."
"Talk about shitty..." Scott replied.
"No pun intended, Summers." Lance joked. Scott fixed Lance with a look that suggested malice and homicide.
Just then everyone's attention was grabbed by Trinity and a very lifelike, robotic Richard Simmons lookalike.
"Behold! Mr. Friend is here!" Trinity began.
Just then the lyrics to Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit began to echo around the living room as the robot began to jog in place on the stairs. "Load up your guns. Bring your friends. It's fun to lose. And to pretend..."
"It's confirmed." Piper began, "You guys are absolutely insane."
The Richard Simmons robot jogged up to Piper and began to sing, "She's overboard. Myself assured. I know. I know. A dirty word."
"I've got more than a few dirty words for you..." Piper groaned.
"Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello." The robot sang as it jogged around the room, "Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello."
"Well, at least it's friendly." Leo remarked.
"Leo..." Piper growled, whirling on Leo.
"What on Earth is that thing?" Will Turner asked as he walked into the living room carrying his son in his arms.
"It's my sisters' latest insane invention." Althea remarked.
"A robot that looks just like Richard Simmons, singing Nirvana songs?" Althea continued, and turned towards her sisters, "And just what insanity possessed you to create this thing?"
"It's a gift for Alex." Brittany said, as though it was the most natural thing on Earth.
"You made a hyperactive, robotic, Richard Simmons lookalike as a gift for the baby? If this is anything like your Auto Poop Diaper Changer machine you invented for Claudius and Barney, this is going to be a disaster."
"Why did you invent this thing?" Piper asked.
"It's a babysitter, house made, and morale booster all in one self-learning robot." Trinity declared in unison.
"It's official, your house is an insane asylum." Piper remarked.
"Some of us live here, you know." Ted remarked.
"When the light's out! It's less dangerous! Here we are now! Entertain us!" The robot sang to Will.
"Pissing me off is dangerous!" Low Light threatened when he saw the robot.
"This is worse than the Taco Grande song." Cover Girl remarked as she walked into the kitchen.
"Go away!" Will shouted.
"Aye aye..." The Robot sputtered and skipped out of the living room.
"That was weird..." Paige remarked.
"Weird is not the term I would use to describe that thing..." Piper remarked.
"Try disturbing..." Rogue said.
"I feel stupid. And contagious. Here we are now. Entertain us!" The robot sputtered.
"You are stupid!" Low Light could be heard, bellowing at the robot, "I'll entertain you alright, with an ax!"
"And I thought christenings were supposed to be boring." Sands quipped as he walked in from the porch, listening to the chaos that the robotic Richard Simmons was wreaking.
Cole Turner shimmered into Misfit Manor with three Heart Fairies hovering around his shoulders. He had appeared in the basement. "Are you sure this is going to work?" Cole asked.
"Positive." Sugar replied.
"Have you done anything like this before?" Cole asked.
"You could say that." Sweet giggled.
"Yeah we have!" Syracuse said, "We believe in happy endings for those who are wounded by love..."
"Syracuse, remember the incident with Lance and Kitty..." Sugar warned.
"Ix nay on the Kittiae..." Syracuse grumbled.
"What?" Cole replied.
"Never mind." Sugar replied, "This time our plan will be foolproof..."
Just then the basement door opened and Piper and Leo stood at the top of the staircase. "Evidently not Whitelighter proof..." Cole groaned.
"Look, Leo," Piper began, "I'm all for building a bridge with our future allies against the Heartless, but...COLE!"
"Busted." Cole groaned.
"What are those fairies doing here?" Piper demanded, "While we're at it what are you doing here?"
"I do believe that is a politically incorrect term Piper," Cole began in a very professorial tone, "They're known as homosexuals. I should know..."
"Cole, you had better not be coming out of the closet." Piper replied.
Cole reddened, "It's nothing of the sort! I got a slap in the face by one at a bar earlier."
"Why Cole, what were you doing at a..." Piper began.
"LOVE FAIRY RAINBOW HEART ATTACK!" The three fairies shouted.
"Wait a second, that shouldn't work, considering they're married they already..." Cole shouted as Piper and Leo were bathed in a strange rainbow colored light.
"No, silly," Syracuse said, "We can also magnify existing feelings. We found that out last time we used something like that."
"Wait a second!" Cole demanded, as Piper and Leo were passionately embracing and kissing each other at the top of the staircase, "You guys are LEARNING how to use these love influencing powers!"
"Uhm, we've had one or two accidents along the way, but yes..." Syracuse replied.
"You're calling Romeo and Juliet an ACCIDENT!" Sugar demanded.
"And why did I agree to this again?" Cole replied.
"Because you love Phoebe." Sugar replied.
"And because you want to win back her love." Sweet replied.
"And because whenever you agree for a Sugar Heart Fairy to help you the agreement is binding for forty-eight hours..." Syracuse replied.
"Oh no..." Cole groaned, "This is going to be a disaster."
"Whoa, talk about intense!" Lance replied, as Piper and Leo were passionately kissing each other and practically making out as Piper half dragged Leo out of the house.
"I'll say." Phoebe replied, "This is so unlike them."
"Oh boy blackmail!" Trinity replied.
"And why does this not surprise me?" Althea replied, rolling here eyes.
"Is this normal?" Paige asked.
"You tell me, she's your sister and he's your brother-in-law." Ted replied.
"No, I mean this insane activity in Misfit Manor..." Paige replied.
"Well, I would say yes." Ted replied.
"It's official, Piper's right, this place is an insane asylum." Paige replied.
"I do say," The Beast said as he lumbered into the room, "It appears that Piper and Leo are under the influence of something that I swear I've seen before..."
Just then a rocket propelled dart struck the Beast just behind the ear. "Sons of Scotland! They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!"
The Beast tore off his clothing, and brandished an umbrella as though it was a sword. "OK, that was weird." Paige began.
"Murron, my love." Beast said and kissed Paige.
"Get your furry paws off my girlfriend, Cookie Monster!" Ted shouted.
"Edward the Longshanks! I've waited to destroy your sorry hide. Ye'll not lay a paw upon Murron..." Beast shouted as he struck Ted in the head with the umbrella, and started chasing him around the house.
Just then Paige saw three fairies start flying out of the basement, followed closely by Cole Turner. "You!" Paige shouted.
"Me?" Cole said.
"You're responsible for all this aren't you?" Paige asked.
"Who me?" Cole replied.
"Yes you!" Paige shot back.
"Before we start sounding like a bad Dr. Seuss story, what's going on here? And why am I being blamed..." Cole replied.
"Do you want the short list or the long list..." Paige replied, seriously hacked off at Cole.
"Hit me." Cole replied. Paige punched Cole in the face. "I didn't mean literally..."
"Whoops, must have slipped my mind." Paige replied.
"So what is going on?" Cole asked.
"Well, first of all, Piper and Leo are making out like a pair of teenagers, then my boyfriend is fighting with the Beast who strangely started acting like I was Murron from Braveheart and he was William Wallace..." Paige replied.
"Prepare to die Cookie Monster's inbred stepchild!" Ted shouted, swinging a baseball bat.
"Scotland will be free, Longshanks!" Beast shouted, wearing an improvised tartan kilt and nothing else.
"Thou shalt be brained!" Ted shouted, swinging the bat.
"Ouch that's gotta hurt." Cole remarked, "OW! What is it with you hitting me?"
"You started this entire disaster." Paige said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Well kinda..." Cole admitted.
"What do you mean by kinda?" Paige replied.
"You see..." Cole began.
"ENEMY OF LOVE!" Sugar shouted, and started zapping Kitty.
"DEMON INCARNATE!" Syracuse shouted and blasted her with a rocket from a magical bazooka.
The house shook violently, "Die HEART FAIRIES!" Lance shouted.
Pitor was armored up and punched at Syracuse who flew straight up. He punched a hole into the drywall as the house shook yet again.
"HELP ME!" Kitty shouted as she ran screaming away from the Sugar Heart Fairies.
Cole winced, "That should be illegal...OUCH!"
"Why do you keep hitting me, again..." Cole asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Paige practically shouted.
"You're starting to sound like Piper." Cole remarked.
"That's not the point!" Paige shouted, "You started this, you are going to finish it. You can start by explaining how this started."
"It's a funny story, actually." Cole began, "You see, I was at a bar..."
"BAR HA HA HA HARRR!" Jack Sparrow and the Pirates all shouted as they walked into the house as it shook violently under the tremors Lance was creating.
"DIE DIE!" Lance shouted at the Sugar Heart Fairies.
"Here we are now! Entertain us! A mulatto! An albino! My libido! Yea!" The Richard Simmons robot shouted as it did several sideways moving jumping jacks through the living room.
"That was disturbing..." Cole replied.
"OK, before we get distracted," Paige continued, "Keep going..."
"Well, as I was drinking a beer I was approached by a fairy...and no more politically incorrect jokes, please." Cole began, "Who noticed me staring at Phoebe's picture and then they made a proposition..."
"Are you out of your mind?" Paige replied.
"In my defense, councilor, I had no idea this would result!" Cole shouted back.
"OK, first thing's first, we have to get you out of sight before Phoebe..." Paige began.
"Cole? What are you doing here?" Phoebe shouted.
"...sees you..." Paige began, awkwardly.
"Phoebe, let me explain..." Cole began.
"Out! Out! Out!" Phoebe shouted.
"At least let me try and explain..." Cole shouted.
"You mean how all this insanity came about?" Phoebe shouted.
"Technically it's his fault." Paige replied.
"You are so lucky that I do not have an active power." Phoebe began.
"There she is!" Sugar shouted, diving towards Phoebe.
"Power rockets of love!" Sweet shouted, bearing a bazooka. Phoebe dived out of the way, just as the magical missile blew a hole into the floor.
"What are those things called?" Phoebe shouted.
"They're called Sugar Heart Fairies..." Cole began, "And I had a deal with them."
"Let me guess, you're trying to get me to fall back in love with you again." Phoebe replied.
"You smelled me out." Cole began.
"I don't think the house can take any more damage." Paige observed, "Or any more insanity."
"I hate to say this, Paige," Cole replied, "I think Misfit Manor is already loaded past capacity with insanity..."
"I'm worse at what I do best. And for this gift I feel blessed. Our little group has always been. And always will until the end." The robotic Richard Simmons sang as he ran high knees towards Cole.
"Will you stop that!" Cole shouted.
"Defend baby...defend baby..." The robot sputtered and immediately a strange looking gun emplacement appeared from it's shoulder.
"Uh-oh..." Cole shouted.
"From what I know about Trinity," Paige began, grinning sardonically, "Their inventions tend to have destructive features built in..."
The robot fired a laser blast at Cole, narrowly missing him. "You're telling me this now?" Cole shouted as the robot chased him.
"I didn't think it was important at the time..." Paige replied.
"Now I'm going to be running for my life from a robotic Richard Simmons clone from hell?" Cole began.
"Start running intruder!" The robot sputtered as tubular projections came out of it's hands. A stream of flaming oil came right at Cole.
"OW! That burns!" Cole shouted.
"Destroy! Destroy! Maim Intruder!" The robot shouted and began chasing Cole all over the house.
"What on Earth is going on here..." Cover Girl demanded.
"Phoebe's demonic ex..." Paige began.
"You mean the guy being chased around by Trinity's latest invention?" Cover Girl asked.
"Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello." The robot sang, firing blasts of laser fire and streams of fire with each 'Hello'.
"Paige! Stop this crazy thing!" Cole shouted.
"One and the same..." Paige replied.
"Not to mention that the Sugar Heart Fairies have made an appearance." Cover Girl replied
"You've run into these maniacs before?" Paige asked.
"They wreaked their share of havoc at the Xavier Institute when Lance and Shipwreck decided to woo Kitty and Storm dressed up as knights on horseback complete with shining armor." Cover Girl replied.
Now Phoebe was running away from Sugar and Sweet as their wands and magic missiles streaked perilously close. "Love Cole! Forgive his sins!" they shouted.
"Ack! A little help!" Phoebe shouted.
"WOOWWWZERRSSS!" Shipwreck screamed as Storm electrocuted him yet again.
"And now of all times, Shipwreck chooses to annoy Storm." Cover Girl groaned, "It's official, this Christening is going to hell."
"How are we going to get these fairies out of Misfit Manor?" Paige asked.
"You're asking me? You're the certified witch." Cover Girl replied.
"I'm going to have to find Piper and Phoebe..." Paige began.
"I'll try and patch things up...Low Light! Get over here! I need help!" Cover Girl shouted.
"Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me, (hic)!" Low Light sang as he staggered around with a bottle of rum in his hands.
"Great, where are Spirit and the Blind Master?" Cover Girl asked.
"They're entertaining the pirates with a blindfolded knife throwing demonstration." Low Light said, "Now I'm seeing what I'm missing by exploring the joys of rum."
"Great..." Cover Girl groaned, "Roadblock!"
"There you are." Roadblock said, "Can you help Wolverine and I?"
"With what?" Cover Girl said, "Trinity's invention is out of control, the kids are out of control, we've got fairies running around the house, and..."
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Staying Alive! Staying Alive!" Xi sang, John Travolta dancing around.
"Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello." The robot sang, fireballs flying from its hands.
"Help us separate Pretty Boy and She-Witch right now..." Wolverine growled.
"Oh Leo..." Piper said, as they kissed passionately.
"Piper..." Leo replied.
"I can't believe the two of you would get it inside your head...to go start making out in the garden shed..." Roadblock groaned.
"Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello."
"HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP!" Cole shouted, dodging laser blasts and fireballs from the robot.
"Do you think those fairies had anything to do with this?" Cover Girl asked.
"Not them again..." Logan groaned.
"It's official, this christening is cursed..." Roadblock groaned as he pried Leo off of Piper.
"Fear not my love..." Piper said, "We will be together once more."
"I can't live without you my darling..." Leo wailed.
"You'll be back together lovebirds, once this mess get's straightened out..." Logan said, rolling his eyes.
"Piper," Paige began, "You're not yourself...Here, let me help."
Paige took a piece of paper from her pocket, "Enchantment of passion, causing Leo and Piper to act in an unusual fashion. Reverse the spell's ill effect, from fairy's spell so suspect..."
"Whoa." Piper said, "The last thing I remember was walking into the basement with Leo to talk about something just as we saw Cole. What is going on here?"
"Do you want the Cliff Notes version or the juicy details?" Paige asked.
"Cliff Notes, obviously." Piper said, ducking, "Why is your boyfriend rolling around punching the X-men's Cookie Monster Lookalike?"
"Uhm it's due to Cole..." Paige began.
"Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello." The robot sang as it chased Cole around with an ax.
"Cole, why don't you just blast it?" Piper asked.
"Don't think I haven't tried! Apparently Trinity made multiple versions of this insane device! This is number seven that I've destroyed!" Cole shouted, dodging the ax, "Yikes!"
"Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello." The robot sang some more, "With the lights out! It's less dangerous! Here we are now! Entertain us!"
Cole blasted the robot with an energy ball. And then two more Richard Simmons clones teleported into the room, running in place and armed with baseball bats made of adamantium.
"I think this is my cue to start running..." Cole shouted.
"That sounds like a good idea." Paige remarked.
Cole started running and Piper said, "At least you're getting some exercise out of the deal, Cole."
"Anyway, back to the Cliff Notes..." Piper began.
"Well, Cole made a deal with three fairies that 'Help the defeated in love'..." Paige began.
"And let me guess he's trying to get Phoebe to fall back in love with him again, with the help of the fairies?" Piper asked.
"Got it in one." Paige replied.
"We have to get rid of those fairies somehow." Piper said, dodging a stray lightning bolt, "Before this place gets leveled around our ears."
"With Lance and his earthquakes I'm amazed it still is. This can't go on..." Paige replied.
"For Phoebe especially." Piper replied.
"Surrender to your feelings!" Sugar shouted, zapping a bolt of electricity that narrowly missed Phoebe.
"Fall in love with Cole again!" Sweet shouted, firing a tiny rocket at Phoebe.
"Don't keep breaking his heart!" Syracuse added, "Connubial Missiles away!"
"Die Fairies! Die!" Lance shouted, making the house shake violently.
Toad and Althea were all over each other, "Three guesses how that happened." Piper remarked, as the two teenagers were ignoring everything short of the need for oxygen.
"You and Leo weren't exactly models of restraint when the fairies zapped you either." Pietro said as he zoomed by, "HELP!"
Five robot Richard Simmons clones were chasing him. "Did we mention that the robots were automatically programmed to register Pietro as enemies..." Trinity said.
"You failed to mention that." Piper said.
"We have to come up with a vanquishing spell for the Sugar Heart Fairies and..." Paige said just as Leo orbed in.
"Guys, the Elders said you can't vanquish the Sugar Heart Fairies..." Leo began.
"ARGH! This is official, our lives are cursed!" Piper groaned.
"I'm not done yet." Leo replied, ""But you have to try and contain them."
"It's like trying to catch fireflies." Piper complained.
"Very destructive fireflies." Paige commented and then brightened, "Piper, you are a genius!"
"What?" Piper asked, "Paige..."
"Just a second..." Paige shouted.
"If the house can stand that much longer." Piper commented as a hanging plant fell and conked Leo on the head after a fairly vicious tremor.
"Ow..." Leo moaned.
"Honey..." Piper said, racing to his side.
"Freeze them!" Paige shouted running in from the kitchen with an empty Mayonnaise jar with air holes in the lid and a butterfly net.
Piper gestured with her hands freezing everything in the room. Paige promptly netted the fairies and stuck them in a jar.
"I'd better go drop them off." Leo said and orbed out of the room.
"Cole, you had better get out of here if you know what's good for you." Phoebe said.
Cole was running for his life as a dozen Richard Simmons robots were chasing him with flamethrowers, stun guns, axes, baseball bats, and spiked clubs.
For every robot Cole zapped with his energy balls, two robots appeared. He ran out of the house and off the Pit. "I'm not giving up, Phoebe! I'm not giving up!" Cole shouted, "YEOWW! That electricity hurts!"
Several hours, and hasty repairs later, an altar was set up in the backyard. Alex was gurgling in his white christening gown in Elizabeth's arms.
"Are you sure everything is going to be fine? I mean the fact that there's going to be three witches, a bunch of pirates and mutants could probably freak out the chaplain." Phoebe asked Roadblock.
"Miss, Father Flanagan has been the longest serving chaplain here at the Pit. He's the one who married Mara and Shipwreck, so for this duty he is fit." Roadblock remarked.
Leo orbed back in just then, "The fairies are back where they belong, thanks to you guys."
"Leo, why are you covered in whipped cream?" Piper asked.
"Let's just say three coyotes are on the loose up there, and leave it at that..." Leo replied.
"Say no more." Piper said.
An older, balding Irish gentleman wearing the black outfit and collar of a Catholic priest walked into the backyard. "Is everything ready?"
"Everything is ready." Roadblock replied.
"You're not bothered by all this?" Paige asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Ach, when you've been the chaplain at this base for twenty-four years you get used to an awful lot, lass." Flanagan said, whispering to Paige he added, "And ye may want to avoid canoodling with one of my parishioners inside the sanctuary."
Paige blushed slightly, "I'll keep that in mind, Father."
Alex gurgled in the basinet on the altar. "I suppose this joint blessing had best get going. I can hear the rumbling of several hungry bellies."
"Oh, right." Paige said.
Will Turner nodded, and Jack Sparrow and Anamaria drew their swords and crossed them over the baby. Mr. Cotton, the mute with the parrot, beat upon a snare drum, rhytmically.
"As the godfather of you, Alexander Weatherby Turner, I Jack Sparrow pledge on pain of death this sword to protect your life. That what foe may try at thee, he will fail as long as I do live. This I vow with my life's blood, by the Code of the Brethren all Pirates hold dear..."
"And as the godmother of you, Alexander Weatherby Turner, I Anamaria pledge on pain of death this sword to protect your life. That what foe may try at thee, he will fail as long as I do live. This I vow with my life's blood, by the Code of the Brethren all Pirates hold dear..."
Both Jack and Anamaria spoke as one just then, "And we swear by that which we hold dear, we will protect you as one of our own against what or who may seek to do you harm. This, beloved godson, is our most sacred pledge."
Both of them sheathed their swords and stepped away from the altar. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige stepped up to the altar. They stood in a circle around the baby and joined hands.
Together they chanted, "I call forth from space and time, matriarchs from the Halliwell line, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, our family's spirit without end, to gather now in this sacred place, and help us bring this child to grace."
Everyone in the backyard would swear the felt a powerful presence of good that moment from that day on. Every witch of the Halliwell line was there to bless the newborn child of William and Elizabeth Turner. Prue astral projected alongside her three sisters, to witness their blessing the child.
Father Flanagan stepped up to the altar, "Bear with me, my christening rites are not nearly as dramatic..."
"Heavenly Father, bless this child, our brother Alexander. May the Holy Spirit ever watch over him, and bless this life in your Holy Name. Amen." Flanagan said, annointing the baby with christening oil.
A grin spread over his face, "Now that the rites of blessing are concluded, who is up for eating..."
"I am!" Shipwreck shouted, as he ran for the buffet table.
"Not so fast, Shipwreck..." Flanagan said, "Let's say grace first, shall we..."
After they said grace, Piper felt a sharp sensation through her rear end. She looked towards Leo, who had a very un-Whitelighter like look on his face.
"Leo?" Piper asked.
"Well, we've had a very stressful day. We were put under a spell, destruction and chaos followed shortly after, and not to mention we were caught in a very 'compromising' position." Leo whispered into her ear as he drew her into his arms, "I do think we deserve a little time of our own..."
"Why Leo..." Piper grinned cattily, her fingers walking up Leo's abdomen, his chest and his neck, "Just what do you have in mind..."
"Call it the residual effects of our enchantment." Leo began, after kissing her, "But I have the greatest desire to orb us back to the Manor for a while..."
"Oh, do tell..." Piper replied.
Leo whispered in her ear and Piper's cheeks reddened, "Really...Let's find out."
They orbed out of Misfit Manor to the Halliwell Manor...
TBC
AN - I know he might be a bit Gary Sue-ish but Father Flanagan had to be introucedas the Pit's chaplain (Hey, someone had to stick around to have married Mara and Shipwreck) and he's gonna have a role in future fics...
