Thanks for the reviews.
Chapter 3
Chris and Lizzie materialized in the attic, receiving curious looks from all three sisters.
"What?" Chris asked.
"Nothing," Phoebe said grinning cheekily.
"Whenever you say nothing like that it's always something, so what is it?"
"Nothing."
"We've already covered that. You just told me that lie a minute ago. This is the part where tell me the truth." Chris said.
"We were just talking about what a cute couple the two of you would make is all." She said nonchalantly throwing some things down on the table.
"A cute couple of what?" Chris asked.
"You know couple the kind that goes out on dates and stuff. You have had a date haven't you?" Piper snarked.
"Yes I have. A long time ago. Before I had a MISSION. The three of you have mission too even if you aren't acting like it."
Piper stuck out her tougue at him.
"Someone actually went out when you when you were alive?" Lizzie asked.
He didn't answer her he simply rolled his eyes.
"Working on the vanquishing potions?" he asked.
"Nope. Still reading up on the Grocks." Piper said not looking up from the Book.
"They'll be back. They won't stop until they have her."
"Well, you'll just have to take extra good care of her until we can." Piper said.
Chris rolled his eyes again.
"I saw that. Don't roll your eyes at me."
"What? I wasn't rolling my eyes at you."
Piper looked up from the Book finally giving him a heated glare.
"So…." Paige said interrupting stare-a-thon 2003.
"What did you and Lizzie talk about down stairs?"
"None of your business." Chris answered coolly.
"That's like the twentieth time you've said that today." Paige said.
"Do you know what your business is?" He asked.
"The pursuit of Journalistic supremacy?" Phoebe asked hopefully.
Chris didn't even dignify that with an answer he simply gave her a look.
"Well, that's always the answer when Elise asks that question, it was worth a shot."
"Anybody else?" Chris asked.
"To help the helpless, to fight for good and all that good stuff?" Paige said.
Chris covered his face with his hands and let out a frustrated sigh.
"What he means in his own quirky and rude way is, that you guys need to be focusing on how to vanquish… Did I say that right?" Lizzie stopped to ask Chris who nodded.
"The Grocks, and keep me alive so he won't get recycled. What does that mean anyway? Are they gonna literally recycle you?" Lizzie asked.
"My soul is going to be recycled and sent back down to Earth." He explained.
"They can do that?"
"The Elders can do whatever they want, but we have all these lame ass rules to follow." Chris said.
"Elders?"
"They are like my bosses, the higher power I have to listen to." He explained.
"We all have to listen to." Paige said.
"Or at least we're supposed to none of us are real sticklers fro the rules." Piper said.
"They hate the four of us as it is and we don't need to be on their naughty list this year." Chris said.
"You're certainly on my naughty list." Lizzie said shooting him a pretend glare.
"Whoa-ho-ho" all three Charmed One said.
Chris rolled his eyes. And Lizzie turned beet red.
"For future reference, never say anything that can be interpreted as double entendre around them." Chris said.
"Maybe I should right this stuff down."
"You should, I'm dropping a lot of knowledge right now." Chris said.
"If you ever ask me if you look fat in any outfit, I won't answer you. I'm your Whitelighter not your fashion consultant." Chris told her.
"Hey! I only asked you that once." Paige said.
"Yes when you were trying to fit into that dress you had in kindergarten."
"He's not a fashion consultant but he still tries to tell us how to dress." Piper said.
"When I take you out a real vanquish don't wear that." He pointed at the skimpy halter Phoebe was wearing with some khaki Capri pants that tied up at the calves.
"Hey! I have fought demons in skimpier outfits than this."
"And you're proud of that? You're supposed to be stetting an example for the girl not teaching her how to turn tricks."
Phoebe stared at him gaping not believing he'd said that. Piper laughed.
Lizzie listened to what Chris had to say. And watched as they three witches mad their potion she wondered if she'd ever get to make a potion.
She heard the clock chime downstairs.
"What time is it?" She asked alarmed.
"Five." Chris said with out even glancing at his watch.
She'd been there for over an hour.
"My parents are probably worried about me."
"You're not going home! The bait can't just leave!" Chris said.
"So in this plan of yours where in you're supposed to be protecting me you make me the bait?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah,"
"And you think I'm a dumb blonde,"
"You are a dumb blonde."
"Could you say that to my face and not breasts?"
"Whatever."
"Whatever."
"Idiot girl."
"Pervy guy."
"Could you two dial down the teen angst just a scotch?" Phoebe asked rubbing her temples.
Chris shot Phoebe a glare but the short haired witch was looking down at the spell she was writing.
Lizzie couldn't wait to write spells. But first she had to get home and demand the truth from her parents. Why hadn't they told her she was a witch? It didn't seem like such a bad gig, the sisters were cool they seemed to have normal lives and stuff. Except for all the fighting demons and stuff.
Plus they got to hang out with Chris all day, though he was totally rude he was still a total babe. If Lizzie didn't watch out she was going to develop a major crush on him. And she doubted the Elders would allow that.
"So what's the rule on dating your Whitelighter is that not kosher or whatever?" Lizzie asked.
Phoebe and Paige laughed.
"Not that I'm interested or anything," Lizzie said blushing as she glanced over at Chris.
"Yeah riiight. Whitelighter/ witch relationships were so made to last," Piper said her voice dripping with sarcasm.
Lizzie raised an eyebrow.
"You dated a Whitelighter before?"
"She married one." Paige said.
"Chris?"
"No!" Both Chris and Piper shouted vehemently.
"She was married to Leo." Phoebe explained still laughing a little. "When he became an Elder they separated."
"However, they did manage to produce this handsome little guy over here. Wyatt. He's the greatest power ever. The son of a Charmed One and a Whitelighter the only Witchlighter in existence, besides yours truly." Paige said.
Lizzie didn't miss Chris' scowl and his trademark eye roll when Paige had finished explaining.
"So you're half Whitelighter?"
"Yep, it can be done, I'm a by product of a forbidden affair."
"Wow. How very Passions of you." Lizzie said.
"I know dude." Paige said.
"It isn't forbidden anymore, if you want to date Chris you can." Phoebe said.
Lizzie blushed, she shouldn't have asked that damn question.
"I really need to get home. My mom will have a fit." Lizzie said.
"I'll take you home but only for a minute. We have to come straight back here,"
"What am I going to tell my mother?"
"Tell her I'm your new tutor and you need to study with me at my sisters' place,"
"Like she would believe that? You're a better liar than that Chris." Piper said.
"Yeah who would let their seventeen year old daughter go study with you?" Paige said.
"I'll have you know I was one of the top students in the class of two thousand and twenty one!"
"I didn't mean you weren't smart. No offence but are an older more experienced guy." Paige said.
"You look like you could knock her up in second." Phoebe said.
"Phoebe!" both her sisters shouted.
"Like you weren't thinking it."
"Technically, she's older than me. And I have no intention of knocking her up." Chris said indignantly.
"Do you intend to sleep with her?" Phoebe asked.
"Is sex always on your mind Phoebe?" Chris asked.
"Sex is on my miiiiind," Paige and Piper sang, making fun of their sister.
"No. But I know how guys are at your age,"
"Yeah because you banged most of them." Chris muttered just loud enough for only Lizzie to hear.
"That is sexist and you know it Phoebe." Piper said.
"Just because when you were that age guys his age were trying to go all the way with you doesn't mean he has any intention of doing that with Lizzie." Piper said.
"Thanks, Piper." Chris said. He was shocked that his mother had defended them.
"Whatever," Phoebe grumbled.
"Let's go." Chris said softly, this time instead of grabbing her wrist he took Lizzie's hand.
"Don't knock her up!" Piper shouted after them.
