Chapter Six

Mystery Solved

"Paige?" Phoebe gasped as she stared wide eyed at her younger sister, well the monkey, who was her younger sister.

"Paige, you know you are a monkey right?" Chris couldn't keep the grin off his face any longer.

Paige suddenly screeched at the top of her lungs.

Loosely translated:

"How dare you call me a monkey. I'm a chimpanzee. I'm no common every day monkey."

"Paige, Paige, he didn't mean it." Piper shouted as her voice finally came back.

Paige continued to screech.

Translation:

"Why can't I speak in my normal voice? What the hell. How can I royally tell off my sisters if they can't understand me!"

"Calm down Paige." Piper said in a soothing voice.

Paige stopped screeching, but continued to glare at Chris.

"Paige isn't just a monkey, she's a chimpanzee." Phoebe explained trying to keep her laughter inside.

"I'm sorry, Paige, I should have realized right away that you were a chimpanzee." Chris held up his hands and apolized. "I did take a science class after all."

"That's better." Paige screeched in a normal tone.

"Uhh … Paige, why did you shape change into a chimpanzee?" Phoebe asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

Paige spun around to face her sisters once again and started to screech at the top of her voice. "Excuses me! I did NOT shape change myself into a chimpanzee. You and Piper bloody did this me y-y-you …."

"PAIGE!" Piper shouted at the top of her lungs.

Paige closed her mouth and turned around so she wasn't facing her sisters.

"Calm down, Piper." Leo said.

"DON'T tell me to calm down, Leo. My sister is a monkey." Piper angrily said.

Paige suddenly rushed over to Piper and started slapping Piper's hips. Hard.

Piper tried to move backwards, away from Paige's paws, but Paige closed the distance never letting up her slapping.

"Leo, do something." Phoebe looked shocked over at her former white lighter and former brother – in – law.

Leo orbed quickly over to Paige and put a hand on her furry right shoulder, and orbed both of them over to the fireplace.

"I'm sorry Paige, I should have said chimpanzee." Piper said staring wide eyed at her youngest sister.

Paige just made spitting noises out of her mouth.

"Back to the issue. Why did Paige shape change herself into a very adorable chimpanzee?" Chris calmly asked.

"Paige didn't shape change herself." Leo knowing said.

Piper and Phoebe stare wide at Leo.

Chris nodded. "Makes perfect sense."

"Well if one of you men likes to explain." Piper snorted.

"If Paige had shape changed herself, than she could shape change herself back." Leo explained.

"Seeing how Paige orbed herself still as a chimpanzee, than obouvously she didn't change herself." Leo folded his arms across his chest.

"That's what I was trying to say." Paige screeched and than snorted.

"So, the million dollar question is who shape changed Paige into a mon … chimpanzee." Phoebe said sitting down on the couch next to Wyatt.

"You did, you idiots!" Paige screeched at the top of her lungs.

"Calm down, Paige." Leo placed a gentle hand on Paige's furry back.

Paige felt Leo's compassion thru his touch, she felt herself calm down. Paige moved closer to her former white lighter and former brother – in – law.

Piper sighed deeply as she sat down next to Wyatt's free side.

"I say a demon turned Paige into a chimpanzee." Piper stated. "It makes since."

"How?" Chris raised his eyebrows.

"What better way to take down the charmed ones. Turn one into a monkey." Piper folded her hands across her chest.

Paige moved towards Piper, but she felt Leo's hands tighten on her back.

"Easy Paige. She didn't mean it." Leo said.

"Sorry, I meant chimpanzee." Piper shook her head.

"But this doesn't fit any demons MOA. At least not any that we know of." Phoebe said. "Perhaps the Book of Shadows has the answer."

"This is not any demons handy work." Chris said. "Nor any war locks."

"Than who turned Paige into a chimpanzee?" Piper cried out frustered.

"You!" Paige screeched.

"Grams?" Phoebe said once Paige's last screech died. "Perhaps Grams spied on us and decided that we needed a shape change episode."

Paige frowned. She felt another wave of her headache overcome her. She needed an aspirin.

Tears came to Piper's eyes as she remembered her last conversion with Paige earlier that day.

"This doesn't feel like Penny interfering." Leo said. "Or Patty's." He added.

"Than who shape changed Paige into a chimpanzee!" Piper suddenly shouted.

Blue and white lights suddenly appeared in front of Paige. Paige held her paws out, out of reflex.

Wyatt suddenly appeared in Paige's arms. He gleefully laughed and snuggled into his aunt's furry chest.

"Guess the mystery is solved." Leo said with a smile.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
