Chapter 4: Date Night

Night fell over San Francisco as Paige, with her short red hair in curlers, rushed her sister Piper to leave.

"Come on Piper! Nate will be here any second and my hair still isn't done! And I promised that we would have the house to ourselves!" She said as Piper was putting on her lipstick.

"Chill out Paige! I will just be another second, go bother Phoebe!" Piper said as she put the cap back on top of her lipstick.

"Well I would, but Phoebe is already gone! Now, are you driving or is Leo orbing because if he is then I need you to move your car so it looks like you're gone." Paige explained.

"What is this, Middle School?" Piper asked with a giggle as she got up and grabbed her jacket off the back of the chair. Paige shot Piper a hateful look. "We're driving, but if you need us we will be an orb away."

"I will really…really try not to need you!" Paige said as Paige's hateful look became a hopeful one. Piper took one last look in the mirror and then began to walk over to Wyatt's nursery, which used to be Piper's walk-in closet.

"Your going to watch Wyatt right?" Piper asked.

"The baby monitor is downstairs, now let's move it Piper!" Paige demanded. Piper let out a sigh and began to walk for the door, Paige followed.

"So how do you think Nate will react to you being a witch?" Piper asked as she and her sister were walking down the steps making their way for the foyer.

"I don't want to think about it." Paige said as they stopped at the bottom step where Leo was waiting for Piper.

"What don't you want to think about?" Leo asked as he just now came into the conversation.

"I am telling Nate that I am a witch tonight and I don't want to think about how he will react." Paige explained. Leo let out a sigh and rolled his eyes. Leo had always thought that ever since Prue, the oldest sibling, had been killed by the demon Shax, the sisters should keep their secret…a secret.

Leo held out his arm for piper and said, "My lady."

"Oh…" Piper grabbed Leo's arm, "My man." All three let out a laugh then Paige remembered that Nate could be pulling up right now as they speak.

"GO!" she yelled, and then she pushed them towards the door. Paige cut in front of the happy couple to open the door for them. Once her hand touched the door knob, she heard a knock. "Oh great." She sighed. The door squeaked as Paige opened it, it was Nate.

"Hey Paige." Nate said with a smile. Nate was tall and had short dirty blonde hair. He laughed and Paige was getting ready to ask why when she remembered that she had her curlers in her hair still. She quickly went into the living room. Nate turned to Piper and Leo and said, "How's it going kiddos?"

"Just fine, man." Leo said with a smile, he had just stopped laughing at Paige.

"You be good to my sister." Piper said pointing at Nate as he held up his hands as if he were under arrest. "Let's go Leo, we don't want to miss our reservations." Piper and Leo walked out the door leaving the door open and Nate standing at it. Nate walked inside the three story house and into the living room where he saw Paige go. Paige was getting the last curler out of her hair.

"You look beautiful Paige." Nate said with a smile. Paige was wearing a black shirt with a pink mini skirt and black, laced, high heels.

"And you, Nate, look very handsome." She responded. Nate had just thrown on his cowboy button up shirt and black jeans with black shoes; he wasn't the dress up kind of guy.

The Kazi King was sitting on the floor looking at The Crone in a very hateful way. He was getting ready to say something but before he could even think of the words The Crone said, "Go…NOW! Shimmer into the kitchen and attack."

The Kazi King nodded his head, stood up and shimmered out of The Crone's lair.

Paige and Nate were sitting on the couch making out when there was a crash in the kitchen.

"What was that?" Nate asked. Paige rolled her eyes and let out a sigh.

Not now! I was buttering him up! "I will go check." Paige said. She got up and stomped to the kitchen. "Phoebe if that is you…so help you god!" Paige mumbled to herself. She walked past the foyer, through the dinning room and into the kitchen. She let out a gasp when she saw The Kazi King charge at her. She held out her arm and called,

"Demon…basement!" she flung her arm down to the floor. The Kazi King was surrounded by blue and white orbs and disappeared beneath the floor. Paige looked over at the basement door and called, "Door…close…lock." The door, just like the demon, was surrounded by orbs, shut, and locked. Paige let out a sigh of relief. Then she looked up at the ceiling of the kitchen and whispered, "Leo…Piper!"

Piper and Leo sat at a booth table in the nice restaurant that used to be called "Quake" where Piper used to work. The couple were laughing and enjoying themselves, and then Leo heard Paige's call. He looked up and then at Piper and said,

"It's Paige. It sounds important."

"Well go…I'm not stopping you!" Piper said gesturing for Leo to leave.

"She needs both of us." Leo said with a worried look on his face.

"Ugh! She would!" Piper exclaimed. She took a quick look around the restaurant to make sure that nobody was watching or looking at them. When she saw that no one was, she flung her arms and the entire place froze accept for Leo and her. "Well what are you waiting for…?" Piper put her hand on Leo's, "Orb!"

Leo and Piper were surrounded by blue and white orbs as the disappeared from their seats. Once they were completely out of the building, the entire restaurant unfroze and picked up where they left off as if no time had passed.

"Piper! Leo!" Paige was whispering, "Where are you?"

"We're right here." Piper said from behind Paige.

"Oh thank God!" Paige exclaimed. "There is a demon in the basement and I am pretty sure that it was The Kazi King."

"Paige, we…or The Crone…vanquished him and all his demons last week." Piper said with a disbelieving look on her face.

"Piper I swear it is him! Now orb down there and do something." Paige said opening the kitchen door to see if Nate was on his was, and he was. He had gotten up off the couch and was making his way right for them.

"I don't have enough power to blow him up." Piper explained.

"But you can knock him out! Now go! Nate is coming." Paige said through gritted teeth.

"Well you're going to have to stall because he will here the explosion." Piper responded. Paige rolled her eyes then opened the door.

"Um, Nate, could you go into my bathroom and get my necklace…I forgot it." Paige said with an innocent look on her face. Almost immediately once she stopped speaking, Nate turned around and made his way upstairs. Paige turned back to her sister. "Now go because I think our friend is coming up here!"

"Ugh, fine! Come on Leo…orb…now!" Piper said clutching onto his arm and just like in the restaurant, they disappeared.

Paige held out her hand and said "Necklace." Her necklace orbed into her hand almost instantly. There was a crash down in the basement and after a few moments, the basement door opened revealing Piper.

"Charge at me like that…I will vanquish your sorry ass!" She said down the steps. Piper walked into the kitchen and Leo followed.

"Damn…" He said. "Well problem solved! He will be out the rest of the night and if he isn't, I put some crystals around him so he won't get out."

"Thanks Leo, you rock!" Paige said.

"Doin' what I can with what I got." He responded.

"Come on Leo, we don't want to miss the specials." Piper said. Leo wrapped his arm around her and they orbed away. Paige took a deep breath then walked back to see where Nate was. He was just coming down the steps.

"Paige, I couldn't find your necklace." He told her.

"Oh silly me, I left it in the kitchen…" She lied. "Um Nate, I know it seems like this happens all the time but I need you to leave! Phoebe just called me and she needs a ride home."

"I didn't hear the phone. And where is her car?" He questioned.

"She called my cell and her car is in the shop! But I promise that we will finish this later!" She said to him. They kissed each other and walked out the door together.
