Chapter eleven

When stories come true

It was P.J.'s tenth birthday and she was in the living room awaiting her guests. She was dressed up in a party dress and her pony tail was tied with a pink ribbon. Just like her cousins had been, P.J. was excited to finally be double digits.

When Victor arrived and the other children came down to the living room to greet him Chris went up to his room. P.J. gave her grandfather a hug than ran to the door at the sound of the doorbell. It was Elise and Alyssa, both gave her a hug before walking into the manor. When the doorbell went off again P.J. had been talking with Melinda and Alyssa, she turned her head to see who had arrived and smiled, it was Billie and her family. She gave Billie and Austin a hug as Ginny ran into Preston's arms and little Jamie waddled over to the other four twenty two month olds. Onia, P.J.'s only friend was the last to arrive, she and P.J. ran to either other landing in a hug.

As they party started Wyatt was sitting on the ground against the living room wall texting his friends, Chris was still up in his room. Melinda, Tamora, Kat, P.J., Alyssa and Onia were having what they believed was an intelligent conversation about boys. Henry Junior was sitting on the floor playing peekaboo with the babies. Parker and Payton were chasing Patty and Paris around the house. Preston and Ginny were running around the living room tossing around the balloons, Belle was trying to catch the balloons. The adults were sitting around the living and like on all birthdays Victor asked for an update on P.J.

"She's more social now but only with those she's close too, can't think of anything else that's different" Phoebe stated.

Of course with twenty minors in the manor there were going to be some fights. It started off with Payton and her little sister Paris. In the middle of their game of chase Paris orbed out to avoid being caught at the last second. Payton considered this to be cheating and orbed Paris to her just to push her down. Payton was place on time out in the magic proof room while P.J. had to tell Onia the family secret, which she hadn't planned on doing. Onia found it really cool which was relief since P.J. thought she would freak and run away from her. Once got in the magic proof rom Paris began to tease her, so as punishment Andy sent Paris in for a time a time out as well.

A few minutes later Tamora started teasing Alyssa who had fallen down while they were playing tag. Tired of Tamora putting Alyssa down, which really upset Melinda, Paige sent her into the magic proof room as Paris came out now that her three minute time out was over. Tamora was not happy and she could be heard screaming. Payton was let out of her time out four minutes early to get away from her cousin.

It wasn't long before Passion, Aria and Mackenzie got into a fight like they normally do when they spend too much time together. Prue, Piper and Paige separated them before the fight became violent as in magically violent. It was best if the mortals who knew about magic stayed oblivious to how dangerous and violent it could get. It was only these three who fought, Penny was a passive spoiled baby and Jamie was as gentle as a kitten.

Suppertime came out of the blew, they were having pizza it was so much easier than cooking during parties. The children were seated at the table or in high chairs, the adults in the living room. Piper didn't like the fact no one was eating at the table with the children, she had to check on them a few times to make sure they were behaving. The fourth time she found the children arguing with each other. The table was covered in spilled cans of Pepsi and spilled glasses of milk. There was syrup on the pizza, how was that even possible it was pizza?! Aria had a plate filled with four pieces of pizza, three of which weren't hers. Some of the children were standing because their chairs had disappeared. Piper tried getting an explanation but all the kids were talking at once.

"One at a time! Wyatt why did all the drinks spill" Piper asked.

"Telekinesis war"

"Ok, Parker why is there syrup on the pizza?"

"Patty thought it would be yummy."

"Preston where are the missing chairs?"

"Tamora orbed them away as punishment for syrup."

"Alright I want the chairs back, Aria give the other babies back their pizza, someone clean up this mess and Patty un-syrup these pizzas" Piper ordered.

Aria orbed the extra pieces of pizza back to the other four babies. Wyatt orbed back the missing chairs. Tamora used her new power of heat to dry the table. Patty un-syruped the pieces of pizza and the children stopped arguing. After making sure they did as they were told Piper reunited with the adults in the living room.

Around twenty minutes later everyone except Phoebe and Cooper were gathered around the table. The lights were off and it was time bring out the cake. While singing the birthday song Phoebe and Coop carried the lighten cake to the table. The placed it down on the table in-front of their eldest daughter who blew out the candle after making a wish. P.J. then helped her dad cut the cake and it was served.

It had been a long day and now it was bedtime for the children under thirteen. P.J. volunteered to give the kids a bedtime story. This was something she would do on occasion. She sat on a chair in the middle of the living room and waited for the children to find a seat on the sofas.

"Ok this is a new story that I made up, it's called the banana demon" P.J. explained. She took a breath then began her story,

"The charmed ones were at home when Preston came running through the front door. He told the charmed ones he had seen a demon in the forest. Paige orbed her and her sisters to the forest but they didn't see anything at first. Then Piper got hit on the head by a banana. The sisters looked up in the trees and saw a blue and green demon throwing bananas in all directions. When Piper froze the demon the bananas started throwing themselves and Phoebe who laughed instead of screamed. Paige started orbing away all the bananas the came flying to them as Piper made the demon exploded in a million pieces with her power to blow things up. On their way home Darryl and the other investigators gave them three hundred cartons of ice cream as a thank you. The end."

The next day at the end of the school the day Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige were in the living room watching a movie together while the husbands were doing the housework. Preston ran into the house and told them he saw a demon in the forest. At first the mothers thought he was joking because of the story P.J. had told them but there was a look on Preston's face that showed he was serious. Leaving the children in the care of their fathers Paige orbed her and her sisters to the first.

"I don't see anything" Prue stated looking around.

"Ow I just got hit in the head by a banana" Piper shouted.

"Oh no way" Paige mumbled looking up to see a blue and green demon throwing bananas in all directions.

"Of course it would have to be my daughter who creates a banana throwing blue and green demon" Phoebe sighed.

"Question is how did she bring him to life and why" Piper asked freezing the demon only to make the bananas started throwing themselves towards the ground.

"We can figure out that later right now if you will Piper" Paige stated repeatedly orbing away all the bananas.

"Where the hell are we going to put three hundred cartons of ice cream" Piper asked as she blew up the demon.

That night P.J. told the children another bedtime story. This time it was about a dinosaur the same walking down their street and it was up to the twins to defeat him. The next day the family stood outside with looks of terror as a huge t-rex came walking down their street. Like the story went the twins used their powers to defeat him.

"Could haven been worse, I could have made him a giant with laser eyes" P.J. said in a guilty voice.

"P.J. you are banned from telling bedtime stories, I can't risk the world being taken over by giant bunnies" Piper stated.

To figure out how P.J. was bringing her stories to life Andy took her to the elders. She was examined by Elder Winter who knew right away what was going on. P.J. had a new power, the power of brining stories, movies, games etc. to life. Basically if she wrote life, whatever she wrote or said was going to happen would actually happen, well to a certain degree, didn't work on getting rid of all demons.
