The kitchen table was filled with all sorts of bottles of all different ingredients. Kat and Phoebe were going through everything and throwing it into a pot over the stove while Sam was reading from the book to them. They ended up having to wait for the potion to reach a certain temperature and took a seat while watching it heat up. In the background they could hear some yelling, some crashing, and some cursing from Dean.
Phoebe- "He'll never look at witches the same way after this."
Sam- "Will he even be able to do this?"
Phoebe- "Honestly? No idea."
Kat- "He will."
Sam- "Wow, since when are you in his corner?"
Kat- "It really has nothing to do with corners, Sam. I just trust him and I know that he's taking it more seriously now."
Phoebe- "So I take it you two are learning a lot from each other right now?"
Kat- "Yeah. Believe it or not, I think this might have been a good thing. Anyway, you two seem to be getting along."
Phoebe and Sam both looked at each other. Kat noticed the way that they gazed into each other's eyes like they were sharing a secret that only they knew. In a way it was true. Sam really wasn't sure exactly how he felt. He knew what he felt but he wasn't sure if he should be feeling that way. When he was around Phoebe, he didn't have to hide anything from her and he truly felt connected to her. She made him happy. Phoebe was a little iffy on Sam at first, since he wasn't really what she had gone for in the past, but now she had such a strong feeling and had seen something that told her that she was right.
Kat- "So I guess that's the answer?"
Phoebe- "Do you need more than that?"
Kat- "Well we usually are pretty open with stuff around here. Sam?"
Sam- "Open? Like you and Dean every tell me anything!"
Kat decided to just give up seeing that Sam was right. Sam was very please with himself for actually fully winning an argument with Kat. It had been way too long. He was also satisfied that he didn't have to admit what he felt for Phoebe in fear that maybe she didn't feel the same. Phoebe was just as glad as Sam, she was more scared that if she said what she saw that she would scare him away, which she certainly didn't want to do. They all sat in silence, only because they were all in thoughts of their upcoming challenge, and waited for the potion to be done.
Meanwhile, in the living room, there was a broken lap, a broken vase, and furniture moved all over the place. Dean was standing near the couch, which was now in the middle of the room, while Paige and Piper were pacing around the room and trying to pick up some of the broken glass.
Piper- "So you ready to try again?"
Dean- "Look, I don't know how to freeze things. I'm not Sabrina the teenage witch here. Wiggling my nose isn't going to get me anywhere and believe me, you didn't not want to know me as a teenager."
Paige- "First off, Sabrina is not a good example of us she didn't even use it against evil. Second, Samantha from Bewitched and she's the one that wiggled her nose. Lastly, no one can be as bad as Phoebe in high school."
Piper- "Don't you mean freebe?"
Dean- "What?"
Paige- "Never mind and don't mention that to Phoebe either."
Piper- "On the up side, you at least can kinda move things. Freezing isn't quite as hard as it looks either. The powers are linked to your emotions. So when I throw something towards you, just throw your hands forward and get mad."
Dean- "Why does it seem so easy for you?"
Paige- "It's a woman thing."
Dean- "Figures." he mumbled.
Paige- "Hear that. Okay so we might have the moving down, but we really need the freezing down because Piper's isn't going to work."
Dean- "Wait, so this is all up to me?"
Piper- "Yes and no. There is a power of three spell that we have to say in order to make him vulnerable enough. Once he's here, you have to say a spell and if anything's thrown at you…only pure Warren magic will work against him. So you will need to must likely freeze, because moving stuff isn't going to do much at all."
Paige- "Plus from what I heard you always liked to be Mr. Hero and save the day. What are you doubting yourself now, or have you just realized how much better witches are?"
Dean- "Hey I am not afraid is that's what you're saying. And since when have I ever had a problem with witches?"
Paige- "I really wish that I could just orb you somewhere very cold. And when you get back in your body I wish that Piper or Kat could freeze you and I could kick you in the…"
Piper- "Shins?"
Paige- "Not exactly what I meant."
Piper- "Well let's get to this. I'll throw this at you and just fling your hands out and then we won't have to worry about orbing you somewhere or getting part of you sterilized."
Dean- "Okay then."
Dean could have argued and really wanted to but he realized that two against one wasn't good and these were two witches. Although he was beginning to trust them, he was still worried that he would be turned into. He watched as Paige was still giving him an evil eye and cringed thinking about what she was suggesting to do to him earlier.
Piper walked over and picked up another vase. She was tossing it between her hands while staring at Paige. Dean saw Paige's face go from amused to serious. Piper had a very teasing expression on her face, one that Dean recognized as he himself had used it plenty of times with Sam.
Paige- "We are not using that vase!"
Piper- "Why not exactly?" teasingly.
Paige- "First you blow up my chair awhile ago and now you want to smash one of my vases! No way!"
Piper- "What, you don't trust Dean?" eyeing Dean with a smirk on her face.
Dean- "Was that suppose to insult me?"
And then Piper just threw the vase as hard as she could towards Dean. Without thinking, Dean raised his hands and for a few seconds the vase froze. He lowered his hands and smirked in his accomplishment. Paige and Piper were both shocked but then very amused as they broke out in laughter. The vase only froze for mere seconds and then continued it's force towards Dean. The vase hit him hard right in the face. He had a slight cut above his eye and was on the ground from the force of it.
Dean- "What the hell! I thought that it was suppose to freeze?"
Piper- "It did, just not very long."
Paige- "Which means that you need more practice and time, and we can't heal that wound."
Piper- "You know what? I have an idea!"
Dean- "What, throw more things at me?"
Piper- "No, I know someone that could probably teach you better than we could."
Paige/Dean- "Who?"
Piper- "Kat."
Dean- "What? She couldn't even control them."
Paige- "For once I have to agree with the idiot over here."
Dean- "Hey!"
Piper- "Would you two knock it off! Don't make me blow you both up! Anyway, Leo helped me so maybe, well not maybe, it will work."
Piper started heading towards the kitchen followed by Dean and Paige.
