A month have passed since the demon attack and so far the Halliwell's household seem to have returned to their normal routine as they carried on with their busy lives without any worries, since its practical that demons tend to attack once in a while, they cant do anything to prevent that, but they sure has the power to vanquish them so fast, it will seem like nothing strange have happened in the Manor.
Piper Halliwell hummed to herself as she grabbed a pan from the cupboard underneath the Isle. She is making few bits and bobs for Wyatt's birthday party. Wyatt decided to throw his party at the Manor this year and the adults have agreed to give him the space he needed by leaving him in charge of the party. However Piper wasn't keen on the idea' cause she seen far too many movies to know what happens in a senior Jock's party. So to put her mind at ease, Paige agreed to stay and watch over the party since Piper have to take care of the restaurant and she knows Chris wouldn't be willing to help out in the club, so Leo have to be there.
But the plus side is, that today is a demon free day, no demons in the underworld will attack no matter what, Piper knows this because on Wyatt's 13th birthday demons demolished his birthday party and little Chris got hurt, trying to protect his big brother. Piper was really shocked to see the amount of anger the 13 year old had especially after seeing Chris bleeding, so from that day on, no demons attack in fear of their heads getting ripped into twos.
Piper pushed the cookie back into the oven after checking them. She was trying to do everything at once, she didn't realise that Chris orbed in, until she heard his whiney voice behind her. "I am hungry,"
Piper turned around to see her son standing there, scratching his head as his hairy clumsily cascaded around his face and eyes. "Morning sweetie," Piper said as Chris pulled a chair near the Isle. "What do you like for breakfast?" Piper asked still not taking her eyes off from the job she was doing.
"Anything, I am hungry," Chris moaned as he waved his hand as the orange juice zoomed into his hand, spilling its contents on the way.
"Where is your brother?" Piper asked as she placed a plateful of waffles in front of him.
"I don't know, he's probably playing dressing up once again." Chris said just as swirling orbs appeared near the door. Wyatt came out of it with a bright smile, wearing dark blue denim shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbow, denim jeans and white sneakers.
"Hey Wy….what's the special occasion," Chris asked completely oblivious to his brother's birthday.
"HA, HA," Wyatt replied with a fake laugh as he tousled his brother's unruly hair. "very funny."
"Happy-birthday sweetheart," Piper said as she kissed her son on both his cheeks before setting him a plateful of waffles next to his brother.
"Thanks mom," Wyatt replied as he grabbed the orange drink from Chris's hand before draining it.
"Hey, get your own," Chris snapped before stopping to look at him. "wait, its your birthday today….what's the date?"
"Don't tell me you forgot," Wyatt said as he looked at his brother who smiled at him but his eyes gave it away. "Thanks a lot Chris,"
"What, I had lot in my mind," Chris said as he took a forkful of waffles. "I mean I got kidnapped by demons….THREE times." Chris said as he held three fingers in front of him
"Okay boys, eat fast, you two are getting late," Piper ushered both boys, so she can have peace in getting all the things done by six before the party. Both boys ate in silence and once they finished, both of them grabbed their bags and made their way out as Piper followed them to send them off.
"Come on, I give you a ride," Wyatt said as he looked at his wrist watch before looking at his brother who stopped near the front door to look at his Wyatt. "What?"
"I just told you, that I forgot your birthday and you wanna give me a ride," Chris said as Wyatt smiled. "Now I am scared."
"Don't be, now come on," Wyatt said as he waved to their mother. "Say, its my birthday treat for you."
"Right….What do you planning to do?" Chris said as Piper kissed his cheeks. "Crash the car somewhere?"
"bite your tongue," Piper snapped as she whacked him in the shoulder. "Now go with your brother."
"Fine, since you insist, but remember, you are dropping me off around the corner," Chris said as he orbed out making Wyatt laugh while Piper yelled at Chris for orbing such short distance.
Wyatt never realised how much fun it was to ride with Chris, till now, since it feels like they just left the house but they are already around the corner to their school. Wyatt wouldn't have realised they were there if Chris haven't yelled at him to stop the car, he was so amused in Chris's jokes and sarcastic faces, he didn't realised he drove past the corner.
"Thanks a lot Wy," Chris said as he rolled his eyes before unbuckling his seatbelt, then he grabbed his backpack from the backseat.
"No problem," Wyatt said with a laugh as Chris begun to walk away. "Chris, wait." Wyatt yelled all of the sudden as Chris stopped, while few students who were passing them turned to look before hurrying away, as Chris made a beeline back to the car.
"What?" Chris whispered as he looked from left to right to see if anyone is watching them, but hey its Wyatt he is talking about, so someone is always watching.
"Remember, if you need anything," Wyatt said looking up at his brother with a smile. "You know where to find me right?" Chris nodded as he felt a warm feeling in his heart, he can feel how much Wyatt loves him even though he wouldn't admit it freely, he knows Wyatt would do anything for him just like he would. Chris could also felt little hurt and he figured why that is.
"I wasn't going to give you this till the party," Chris said with a eye roll before unzipping his backpack. "But here, happy birthday bro," Chris said as he handed a wrapped box to a Wyatt who looked like an excited child.
"See, I know you wouldn't forget my birthday," Wyatt said happily as he ripped open to find a long velvet box.
"You got that right," Chris laughed as Wyatt opened his present. "I just thought, since you are the leader of the Jock's, you might need extra accessories to make you stand out from the crowd."
"Thanks," Wyatt said with a laugh as he looked at the gold bracelet.
"okay, now scoot," Chris said as Wyatt stuck his tongue out before stepping on the gas as Chris watched his car speed towards the school.
By the time Chris reached the playground, he immediately know that something was going on, yet he wasn't sure what it is. Chris looked around the buzzing playground as kids younger then him, seem to hurry away in group and come to think of it, he noticed almost every one in the playground seem to be huddled in a group.
"Chris," someone shouted his name out as Chris turned around to see Bianca standing in a group waving him down.
"Hey," Chris said as he reached Bianca and the others. He noticed the two new people in the crowd, who waved at him. "What's going on here?"
"Didn't you know?" Bianca asked as Chris shrugged.
"Its all your fault, if you just played along with me, we wouldn't be here today." Said the new kid to the girl he is standing next to.
"Well, I don't know how you can fool mom," the girl replied as she swatted the kid on the head. "By pretending to be hallucinating."
"Well anything's better than coming to school today," The kid grumbled as the girl agreed with him.
"Okay, you two cut it out," Bianca said before turning to Chris.
"Am I missing something here?" Chris said as he dumped his backpack on the ground before perching himself up on the flowerbed wall.
"Yeah, today is the Halliwell's kid birthday," said Malcolm as Chris looked at him to carry on but the rest seem to die in his throat.
"So, what's the big deal?" Chris said as he looked over his friend's head to see almost every one is whispering something to each other, only the seniors were calm enough as they made their way through the ground as if nothing is happening.
"The big deal is, that all the Jocks get to hand pick a victim that they are going to torture all day today," Tom hyperventilated as he looked around him, while the two new kids looked very worried.
"So, isn't it what they do almost every other day," Chris said as Tom's eyes went wide with shock. "What's the big difference."
"The difference is that they get to torture only their chosen victim, no one else," said Wendy sitting down on the ground against the brick wall. "and they do that by picking out our names from their ridiculous hat of pick-a-newbie."
"And this happens every year on their birthdays and today its Halliwell's" said Bianca as she sat down next to Wendy. "Who knows what's going to happen today and who is going to end up seriously hurt."
