CHAPTER SIX

Anyway, Paige and I went downstairs and there we found Piper sitting on the living-room couch, still in the middle of a full-blown panic attack. . Although she was happy to see Paige okay again, she was positive that Leo wasn't coming back--that line of Chris' about Leo having to needing some alone-time absolutely terrifed her.

Suddenly all of the magical creatures came in. They informed us that they had to leave, now. When we asked why, they informed us that all of the Elders were sending out distress calls, so the creatures had to go save them. Save them? From who or what, and what about us. They smiled benevolently at us, telling us that they were going to leave the Elf Nanny behind to take care of Baby Wyatt while we, the mighty Charmed Ones, battled the Titans.

While we what?! Who said anything about us battling the Titans? Piper said that Chris had, and she began yelling for Leo again. She yelled and yelled, but no sign of Leo.

Now Paige and I began to panic, too, so we joined in the yelling. But again, no sign of Leo.

Finally orbs appeared, and we were so relieved, but when they became a person, it wasn't Leo, it was Chris Perry, and we all came close to blowing our tops. We wanted Leo, not this newcomer who wouldn't tell us a darn thing!.. He insisted that Leo was okay, and then, with a very self-satisfied smirk on his face that irritated the tar out of me, he informed us that, yes, we were going to battle the Titans.

We wanted to know what exactly he meant by that, when suddenly we found out--with a bright flash, we found ourselves all dressed in Greek costumes, complete with beautiful fancy hairstyles (naturally, I was a blonde--why do I always end up being a blonde whenever we get stuck in these weird costumes??? As you well know, nephew mine, for whatever reason, that just keeps right on happening!).

Now we knew Chris Perry was nuts--he wanted us to fight the most powerful creatures we'd ever faced--people who scared the Elders, for Pete's sake, something not even the Source of all Evil had managed to do--dressed for a frickin' frackin' costume party???
