Hello, my wonderful faithful readers!! Here is scene four! Here are the shoutouts!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bea001:

Thanks so much! I'll do my best to keep up the interest level.

Charmedgrl-san:

Ohayoo gozaimasu!!! Thanks for the review; I'm glad you liked it. I hope you'll enjoy this chappie just as much, and I hope that I'll have enough time to read and comment on Different Ending; I love vacation, don't get me wrong, but my laptop doesn't have internet access, and competing for the computers in the hotel's business center can be tricky. Hope to talk to you soon!

AnimeAlexis:

I know, I know, Phoebe's no Iron Chef either, and I'll make sure that little fact comes to light later:-) And it's not so much writer's block; I'd say it's more like my-teachers-think-that-I-should-do-nothing-but-homework-even-on-spring-break (a whole sheet of pre-calc and a literary analysis!!!) block. Grr! Oh well. C'est la vie.

kp:

Thanks for the review! Here's the update; hope you enjoy

cherrylilly:

You're welcome:-) And thanks for the questions; they've reminded me that I need to clarify a few things, so I've made a little list below. Hope you enjoy and thank you again :-)

Dr. Maybe:

Who am I to refuse an enthusiastic request like that? Here's more:-)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed. If I did, you would be reading this script and then watching it play out on the television. Or YouTube at the very least.

A/N: Here's a little breakdown of the kids, just in case anybody's confused or hasn't read Firstborn:

Phoebe and Coop:

Melinda Love, 6

Piper and Leo:

Wyatt, 10

Chris, 8,

Patricia Grace, 6

Paige and Henry:

Samantha Jane (Sammie), 5 (Twins)

Prudence Olivia (Livvie), 5 (Twins)

Henry Jr., 6 months

A/N: I'll do my best to write this so that it is completely understandable by itself, but I'd suggest reading Firstborn just to make all the pieces fit together when certain other parties show up later on in the fic. :-)

The Charmed (Little) Ones

(the staircase. Melinda reaches the first landing when another girl, about her age, astral projects in front of her.)

Melinda: Hi Gracie!

Grace: Hi Melinda! Hurry, we're gettin' ready to play power of four in the attic.

Melinda: Cool! Hey, bets I can heart up there 'fore you can astral back.

Grace: Suure. One…two…three!

(the girls disappear. Cut to the attic. Melinda hearts in beside Grace just as she returns to her body.)

Melinda: I think we tied.

Grace: Prob'ly.

(they walk over to the window, to twin girls their age. Identical in every way, save for the color of their outfits, they appear to be engaged in a heated staring contest. Melinda gives an exaggerated sigh and addresses the twins)

Melinda: Guys, stop arguing in your heads.

Grace: Yeah, it's not fair.

(the twins look over at Grace and Melinda. The one on the left, wearing a yellow outfit, speaks up.)

Sammie: Sorry guys, but Livvie's being really mean!

Livvie: I am not!

Sammie: Yes you are. We all decided to play power of four, right.

Grace: Right.

Sammie: And we decided that we would play the story where Mommy and the aunts turned Aunt Prue into a dog to battle the banshee that that one demon they won't talk about sent to make Aunt Phoebe's head 'splode, right?

Melinda: Yeah…

Sammie: Well, Livvie won't trade turns and let me be Aunt Prue!

Livvie: Sammie, we 'cided last time its my tun to be Aunt Prue. It's your turn to be Mommy.

Sammie: But Mommy didn't even gets Charmed until after the banshee story.

Livvie: We can pretend.

Sammie: But Livvie, you know that dogs is—

Melinda: Are. Dogs are.

Sammie: My favoritest animal!

Grace: (pacifying) Come on, Sammie, Livvie. Let's just play a different game.

Livvie: No! I wanna play this one.

Sammie: Look, Livvie, if you lets me be Aunt Prue today, I'll lets you Aunt Prue the next two times.

(Livvie thinks it over)

Grace: C'mon, Livvie, it's a good deal.

Melinda: Yeah, and this way we can stops arguing and start playing already.

Livvie: (sighs) Okay, okay. (to Sammie) But you promise I get to Aunt Pdrue next time, even ifs we play the same story?

Sammie: Promise.

Livvie: Deal.

(they shake hands. Grace and Melinda immediately perk up)

Melinda: (jubilant) Yay! We can start! (instantly getting into character) "Piper Prue! Paige! My head hurts!"

Grace: "Oh no, Phoebe! What cold it be??

Sammie: "Maybe it's that demon we never talk about! We need to check the book!"

Livvie: (interrupting) Wait guys; we needs demons for this story—

(right then two boys, one blond, one brunette orb into midair and start fall, luckily onto the old couch. They get up and grin.)

Wyatt: That…was…awesome!

Chris: Scale of one to ten? Definitely an eight!.

Grace: (hands on hips) Wyatt and Christopher Halliwell! What have you been doing?

Chris: None of your beeswax, Grace.

Melinda: Whatever. Wy, Chris, we need you guys to be the demons for our Power of Four game.

Wyatt: (self-important) Sorry Melinda. We don't have time to play with little girls.

Chris: Right. We're too busy doing manly stuff.

Sammie: (insulted) We're not little!

Chris: Wyatt and I are ten. You guys are only five—

Melinda: Hey, Grace and I are six!

Grace: Yeah, and Chris, you're only eight.

Chris: So? I'm almost nine. I'm still older!

Melinda: What-ever Chrissy. We might be younger but we're still just as good.

(Wyatt and Chris burst into laughter.)

Wyatt: Yeah right!

Chris: That's a good one, Melinda. 'Specially for you.

Melinda: What's that supposed to mean?

Wyatt: (condescending) Look, Melinda, you're my cousin, so you're cool and everything, but you don't even have any real powers.

Melinda: Yes I do! I can heart.

Wyatt: So?

Chris: (listing) Sammie and Livvie can orb and are telepathic, Grace can astral and has all of mom's powers, I can orb and have telekinesis, Wyatt's twice blessed—

Wyatt: And together the Brothers Halliwell…

Wyatt/Chris: Can do anything! (high five)

Chris: What's hearting compared to all that?

Melinda: (furious) You guys are mean!

Wyatt: We're not trying to be mean, Melinda.

Chris: It's just a fact.

Grace: (steps protectively up to Melinda and hugs her) Sammie, Livvie, beat them up!

Melinda: No. Wait. (she steps away from Grace and up to her older cousins) I have a better idea. (crossing arms) Wyatt and Chris Halliwell, I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna do something you've never done.

Wyatt: Oh yeah? And what's that?

Melinda: I'm gonna do a spell.

Chris: Big whoop. We've all done spells.

Melinda: (small, smug smile) A spell from The Book.

(Wyatt's jaw drops. Chris looks like he's been slapped. Sammie, Livvie, and Grace giggle)

Grace, Sammie, and Livvie: Oooh!!
