DarkPriestess66 says, I'm not sure if this is Size Matters or if I'm just making crap up as I sit here, so here goes nothing, if I do use Size Matters...not mine. Alexis and Harry share a bedroom, but it has been magically enhanced so they can have their own space and I don't own 'My immortal' by Evanescences
A young teenager walked into a monastery with white washed walls, she scanned the wall of plaques to find the one she is looking for, 'Prudence Halliwell'
Alexis sighed as she looked up at the nameplate, "I'm so sorry, Prue, I should have been there for you and the others," tears course down her cheeks, and she drops to her knees,
"The ones that love us never really leave us" her mind replayed, Alexis dried her eyes, "I miss you so much, it doesn't feel the same without you, Prue. Why! I need you!"
Carmela orbs down from Up There when she sensed Alexis' pain and sadness. "Tiger," the Elder knelt down and pulled the sobbing teenager into her arms, "It's okay, sweetie,"
"No. She risked her life everyday and she never thought about what would happen to me, Piper, and Phoebe if she was gone. She was my big sister. Why did did she have to be so stupid and die!" Alexis shouted.
Carmela reached out and tilted Alexis' head up to look at her, "She knew what she was doing, and I'll bet my family's life savings, she would do it again. I know I would. Saving you from well you know. Was the best thing I done in my long life."
"I just miss her so much," Alexis whispered.
"I know, I know, and you will always miss her. She's a part of who you are," Carmela stated
Alexis gasped as an idea struck her, "Carmela, you are a genius!" she stood up
"What did I say?" Carmela asked blinking in confusion,
Alexis left and went back home to the manor, Carmela followed to make sure nothing happened on the way back,
"So what are you doing?" asks Carmela as Alexis was rummaging though her closet,
"I got this for my birthday two years ago, I never thought I would use it." Alexis answered.
"Hey," greeted Harry as he walked into the room, "What are you doing to our room?"
"Got it!" Alexis exclaimed. She pulled out a keyboard,
"Who brought you that?" Harry asked.
Alexis glanced down, "His name was Andy Trudeau, he was the first police inspector to know about us, he was killed by a demon by the name of Tempus, he was trying to protect us, He thought I could do with another instrument to play, after he died I chucked in the closet,"
Alexis, Harry and Carmela went into the conservatory, where Alexis laid on the floor and began to play the keyboard. Weaving a tune from nothing,
"I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone"
"What are you working on this time?" asks a male's voice, Alexis looked up and seen her brother in law, Leo Wyatt.
"I'm writing out my emotions, since I can't talk about them. In risk of burning down the manor." Alexis answered, "I miss Prue, so I might write about it,"
Leo nodded, then left orbed off to check on Paige, who still lives across town,
"Thirteen and still need a babysitter," Carmela laughed,
Alexis sat up and crossed her arms and pouted, "I want a juice box! Now!"
Carmela raised an eyebrow, "You have two perfectly good hands go get one yourself."
Alexis stood up, "I was kidding, besides Pheebs is taking Harry and I to the club, that is if she gets out of the shower, I'm going to be an annoying little sister." she turned and walked off.
Going upstairs, she proceed to go to the closed bathroom door and banged on it. "Phoebe, you better not be in there making out with Cole. We need to go to the club like yesterday!"
"Go away!" shouted Phoebe, though the door.
"Then hurry up!" exclaimed Alexis, Sniggering as she walked away and sat on the bottom step on the staircase.
"You are so bossy," Phoebe stated from behind her,
"Well you are so slow. I mean it, three other people in the manor have to share that bathroom." Alexis replied. "and Piper told us to be at P3 today."
~~~~P3~~~~
"Good. All right, guys. Rip it all out!" exclaimed some guy
Alexis, Phoebe and Harry came down the stairs, and seen the place being destroyed.
"Wait a minute! What's going on? That's our table? Who told them that they could rip out our table?" Phoebe asks
"I did." the guy answers,
"And who are you?" Alexis asks, crossing her arms over her chest, she looked around and didn't like what was happening to the club, where she and her sisters would go after a vanquish to celebrate, this place was starting to look like a strip club.
"Phoebe, Alexis, Harry, this is Trent Taylor. He's the new manager of P3." Piper replies,
"I-I-I'm sorry. The new what?" Phoebe asks
"I just hired him on a trial basis." Piper explains,
"Well, isn't that interesting. We need to talk to you." Phoebe states then pulls Piper to the side.
"You look worried, baby girl." Piper commented,
"Well, why didn't you tell us about this?" Phoebe asks
"Aren't I part owner too, I think I should know about this?" Alexis asked, she sometimes worked here during the summer holiday just to have something to do, even if it was sweeping and stocking shelves,
"It just happened yesterday. Which is why I asked you to come down here today." Piper explained,
"We said we weren't going to do this." Phoebe stated.
"Uh, do what?" Piper asks confused.
"Make any major changes in our lives. All the books caution against it. After you've suffered a major loss. Do not sell the house. Do not get married. Do not quit your job." Phoebe answers,
Alexis nods in agreement, then looked over at Harry who was staring at the waitress who were walking over, "That's it, Mister stop staring at them, or I will take those glasses right off your face."
"Okay, but like it or not, there's been a lot of changes lately, and this is hardly the biggest." Piper states ignoring Alexis' comment to Harry. They see Paige walk down the steps.
"Oh, speak of the devil/whitelighter/witch." Phoebe comments,
"Is such a thing as devil/whitelighter/witch?" Alexis asked, highly confused, Paige walks up to them.
"Hi, guys." Paige greets,
"Hi!" Phoebe greets.
"Hey Paige." Alexis and Harry greet,
"I hope I'm not interrupting." Paige states,
"No, no we were just talking." Phoebe replies,
"Well, I have a quick question, but it can wait. Continue." Paige responds,
"I was just explaining to Phoebe, Lexi and Harry, that the changes I'm making in the club are not by choice. They are by necessity. Okay? P3 has been struggling a little lately and we are now a single salary household." Piper explains,
"Oh, we don't have to be. I-I can get a job." Phoebe suggests,
"Pheebs, you sound nervous," Alexis comments,
"Uh-huh. And if you could get a part-time entry level job that pays you about two hundred grand a year that would really make a difference. Otherwise, I'd rather you be free for other work." Piper replies,
"About that other work." Paige began but Phoebe and Piper weren't listening.
"But it's not fair. You shouldn't carry the financial burden." Phoebe states,
"I will worry about the source of our income if you worry about the source of all evil." Piper suggests,
"Speaking of evil-" Paige tries again and fails
"Besides, what kind of job would you get?" Piper asks.
"I am a college grad. I am sure I could find something." Phoebe replies
"I found something." Paige states before looking at Alexis for help,
Alexis stepped in between her older sisters, "You two give it a rest, Paige is trying to tell us something!"
"Okay, Paige. What is it?" Piper asks.
"Okay, have you guys ever walked by a house and just, uh, got a really bad creepy feeling from it?" Paige asks "Okay, on my way to get coffee every morning I walk by this house and I get... this shiver."
"A shiver?" Phoebe asks
"Does it mean anything?" Paige asks
"It's a shiver." Piper replies.
Alexis wasn't so sure, but she didn't say anything from what she learn about emotional warning, heck even a scars like the one of Harry's forehead could warn people when danger is coming.
"No, I've always just dismissed it as a bad case of the creeps, but now that I'm a witch... I don't know. I think it might be something supernatural." Paige explains,
"Well, do you know anything about the house?" Phoebe asks
"Just that this cute guy named Finn lives there. We bumped into each other at the grocery store. Flirted a little. Done the are these melons ripe thing, okay." Paige answers.
"Well, that sounds like you have the hots not the creeps." Piper stated.
"Well-" Paige began
"Either way, I think it's a good idea that you stay away from this Finn guy." Phoebe interrupts, Alexis couldn't help feel like like Piper and Phoebe weren't listening to anything Paige was saying, just because she was new to the craft. They often didn't listen to her just because she was young, hot headed, and stubborn to listen to reason.
"No, I don't get the shiver from him. Just the house. I think I'm on to something." Paige replies.
"I really think that when you've been a witch for a few months, you'll know the difference between sensing evil and needing a warmer jacket." Piper stated.
"So you don't want to check it out?" Paige asks
"Not any time soon." Piper answers then leaves.
"Phoebe, I'm not making this up." Paige states.
"Oh, I know you're not sweetie. But you got to admit, it's not a lot to go on. I gotta run. I'll call you later." Phoebe replies.
"Okay." Paige agrees.
"Okay. Stay away from that Finn guy." Phoebe warns. She left but turned back when she realized Alexis and Harry weren't following, "Come on, you two."
they nodded
"Paige, I believe you, I learned a lot in the last three years of school. We'll get them to listen if we have to go above their heads." Alexis stated, then turned grabbing Harry's sleeve and walking away.
The next day, Alexis and Harry were in the living room watching tv. While Leo and Carmela were meditating with orbs around them.
"Hello? It anybody home?" Paige asks as she walks in.
"In the living room!" Alexis replied.
"Leo?" Paige asks as she walked into the living room, Leo falls. Carmela didn't fall, she landed on her feet, "Oh, god. Are you okay? Uh, I knocked, but nobody answered. And the door was unlocked."
"Oh, it usually is. Otherwise, demons come crashing through and it costs a fortune to fix. If you're looking for Phoebe, she's not here. She's at a job interview." Leo replies, after he stood up.
"Actually, I was looking for you two." Paige explains, Alexis nudged Harry and nodded at them.
"Us? Why?" Leo asks.
Carmela raised an eyebrow in question. "Go on."
"Well, seeing that you're a whitelighter and I'm part whitelighter, I was hoping we could have a whitelighter to part whitelighter chat." Paige explains.
"Sure. Of course, sit down." Leo replied,
Paige sits down
"So you have the ability to locate your charges, right?" Paige asks
"Sometimes." Carmela answers before giving her two charges a look, she found about the time turner, and she had a few choice words with McGonagall.
"And if you have a sixth sense for locating good, is it possible that I have one for locating evil?" Paige asks
"You think you sensed evil?" Carmela asked. 'I didn't know we had that kind of power?'
"I know it sounds silly, but there's this house that I walk by and I get this really bad feeling from. The problem is that I've already discussed it with Piper and Phoebe and they've dismissed it. Alexis believes me," Paige answers.
"So you want me to talk to them?" Leo asks
"I hate to put you in the middle." Paige replies.
"Well, it's part of my job. Uh, I'll just talk to them when I sense their minds are in the right spot." Leo explains.
"Thank you." Paige states Phoebe enters the house.
"Damn it!" Phoebe exclaims.
Alexis jumped, "Welcome home," she stands up, ready to serve a mug of tea laced with rum if she had too.
"Now would not be a good time." Leo commented, They go over to her.
"I am only going to say this once. The real world better start showing me some respect. Otherwise, I am not going to saving it every week." Phoebe states.
"What happened?" Alexis asks.
"I just had the worst job interview for a position that a monkey could fill. Provided that the monkey could explain why it needed flexible work hours. " Phoebe replied then looked at Paige "Why aren't you at work?"
"I – It's my lunch break. I just-" Paige answers.
"You're not still talking about the creepy house. Are you? Did you find out any new information?" Phoebe asks
"I think it's worth checking out." Leo states
"Harry stay with me, you haven't had a wiccaning yet or have active powers," Carmela ordered.
"Huh. Okay. Well, let's go. I mean, it's not like I have to be at work or anything." Phoebe stated.
"Yeah, but I do. Could we meet afterwards? Like 4? I'll give you the address. I just, uh, need, uh, pen and paper." Paige replies then a pen and paper orb into her hand. "I love being able to move stuff with my mind. I'll see you there later. Leo, thanks."
"Sure." Leo replies then Paige leaves.
"You really think she's on to something?" Phoebe asks
"Well, the important thing is that she does, so I think we should support that." Leo answers.
"Okay. Well, then I'll go change into my work clothes and head over there." Phoebe states,
"Do you want me to go with you? I mean you don't even know what's there." Leo asks.
"Leo, please. This is what I do." Phoebe replies.
"I'm going so she'll have back up." Alexis stated, as she was already walking to her bedroom to change into her own work clothes.
A while later, Phoebe and Alexis were outside Finn's house. Phoebe knocks on the door. No one answers and she starts to walk away. The door opens by itself.
"Oh, come on, Phoebe. Show a little spine." Alexis teased She goes into the house. "Hello?"
Someone watches Phoebe and Alexis from the hole in the wall. "Anybody home?"
Phoebe sees a collection of little dolls with looks of horror on their faces. She picks up one, gets a premonition, and drops the doll.
"Pheebs, what did you see?" Alexis asks as she walked over.
"No!" exclaims the demon watching them, he uses his wand to shrink Phoebe and Alexis.
"Uh-oh!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"I hope this isn't what you saw, if it is your power is way off base." Alexis replied as they ran away.
The demon is looking for shrunken Phoebe and Alexis,, who are hiding under a table.
"Where are you?" the demon asks "You can't have gone that far."
Phoebe whispering "Leo. Leo. Oh!"
"Carmela. Carmela." called Alexis,
The demon sees Phoebe and Alexis running across the floor to the couch.
"I see you." the demon states, Phoebe holding onto Alexis' hand levitates out of his reach. "Well, you little witches. We'll see how long you last."
The demon gets the vacuum cleaner.
"Oh, this sucks." Phoebe states.
"Hang on!" Alexis shouts.
Carmela was pacing around the manor, Alexis and Phoebe has been gone for a while,
"That's it, we need Piper." Harry declared. "Less pacing more orbing."
Carmela, Harry, Leo and Paige orb into a secure area of P3.
"I can't get used to this orbing thing." Paige states.
"You will. You've got in you." Leo replies,
"It took me a while to get used to it," Carmela stated.
"I feel like my stomach's going to come out of me." Paige comments, They find Piper.
"Uh, what's with the white gauze? It's worse than up there." Leo asks,
"I have to agree, that's why I don't spend a lot of time up there." Carmela agreed her nose wrinkled at the white gauze.
"It was Trent's idea. Piper relied, "What are you guys doing here?"
"We orbed in." Paige answers.
"Together?" Piper asks
"Yeah, well we were worried about Phoebe and Lexi. They was supposed to meet me at the creepy house, but they never showed so I thought maybe they got hung up. So I went to your place-"Paige explains.
"Um, I thought we decided not to investigate the so-called creepy house." Piper stated.
"Well, I know you didn't think it was anything, but Leo..."Paige replies,
"Oh, so you went behind my back and asked Leo." Piper interrupted
"She didn't go behind your back and I'm her whitelighter, too." Leo defended himself.
Piper: Uh-hmm, right. Well, it's a smart thing to do as a witch, but an annoying thing to do as a sister. So what happened to Phoebe and Lexi?"
Leo: I don't know. I checked my radar, but she dropped to the tiniest blip.
"So did I, and Alexis is just like Phoebe, she's a tiny blip." Carmela added, "also Alexis believes Paige"
"And what would account for that?" Piper asks
"I don't know, but I don't like it." Leo answers.
"Well, then we should probably get over there." Piper stated.
"See, I told you something was going on in that house." Paige retorts,
"Uh-huh, okay. Let's hold the congratulations till we find Phoebe and Lexi." Piper states, as they are leaving the workmen break the P3 sign.
"Piper?" Leo asks
"Doesn't matter. P3 doesn't exist anymore." Piper replies, Paige and Harry looks at the broken sign.
Finn's house. Phoebe's and Alexis' grabbing onto the couch for dear life. Gammil's trying to suck them into the vacuum cleaner. Finn enters.
"Watch out! Two are loose! Shut the door. Shut it!" Gammil shouted
"What are you going to do with them when you find them?" Finn asks,
"Don't ask questions." Gammil snapped.
"The same thing you did with the other one?" Finn
Gammil shuts off the vacuum cleaner. Phoebe and Alexis relaxes.
"I said don't ask questions. The other one. Still, that... that gives me an idea." Gammil then goes and takes out the woman he shrunk earlier covered in clay.
"Do you want me to-" Finn began
"Shh."
Alexis and Phoebe sees the other girl try to say help me.
"The door is still open." Finn stated.
"Shut it!" Gammil exclaimed.
He does.
'Piper and Paige better hurry up and figure out a way to get us out of here,' Alexis thought as she and Phoebe levitated up to the woman in clay.
"Whoo! That's one good thing about being so small. I'm so light I can kind of fly. Can you talk?" Phoebe asks.
"Only you can think that flying is easy," Alexis muttered, "What am I saying, this woman is the reason witches fly on brooms."
The woman whimpers.
"Okay. Just close your eyes and don't tense up." Phoebe states then kicks and breaks the clay. The woman starts to collapse.
Alexis caught her, "No, no. You can collapse later. We need you to run now. Can you do that?"
"Yeah." Woman replies,
"We got to go before Gammil sees us." Phoebe warns but Gammil comes up and traps them under a can.
"Gotcha. I knew witches could never resist saving an innocent." Gammil states as He hears Paige knocking on the door.
"Hello!" Paige shouts,
"Now what?" Gammil asks
"Hello!" Paige
"Another girl. Get her inside. Go get her. Get her!" Gammil ordered.
"Maybe we should just let them all go." Finn suggests,
"Since when did you develop a conscience? Hmm? I never gave you one. Now what are you standing around for? Go! Go! Fetch!" Gammil orders. Finn goes to answer the door. Phoebe is yelling. "Be quiet!"
Alexis tries to burn him with her pyrokinesis but it didn't work, Gammil puts them in a container.
Meanwhile Paige tries to lure out Finn,
"Hi!" Paige greets,
"Hi!" Finn greets back
"Remember me?" Paige asks "The girl with the melons... from the supermarket melons."
"Yeah, I remember." Finn replies, "What brings you here?"
"Let's just say I got tired of waiting for you to show up on my doorstep." Paige answers,
"I'm sorry?" Finn asks,
"Look, if we're going to go out, the first thing you need to know about me is that I don't play games. I see what I want and I, uh, go for it." Paige explains, "Do you have a problem with that?"
"Are you always this aggressive with guys?" Finn asks.
"Just the ones I like." Paige answers,
"Why don't you come in?" Finn asks, Paige hesitates. "Is something wrong?"
"Oh, just the old cliché. My mother told me never to go into stranger's houses. That thing." Paige replies,
"Come on. What are you afraid of?" Finn asks
Piper, Carmela, Harry, who was ordered to stay in the car no matter what happens, and Leo watching in the car.
"Don't do it. Piper whispered.
Gammil watching through the hole in the wall.
"Do it." Gammil whispered
Paige starts to enter the house.
"No, wait. On second thought, let's just go out." Finn changes his mind, he and Paige leave the house.
"The lure worked." Leo stated as they watch Paige and Finn drive away on his motorcycle. Paige waves at them.
"Barely." Piper replied,
Inside Finn's house. Gammil goes to Phoebe, Alexis, and the woman.
"Now where were we?" Gammil asks then Leo and Piper orb in and Gammil hides.
Phoebe yells in her small voice "Piper! Piper!"
"You go that way. I'll go this way." Piper suggested.
"In here!" Alexis shouted but Piper didn't hear her, Piper looks around and finds the demon's collection of small dolls.
"Oh, weird." Piper commented,
"What a bizarre collection. I wouldn't touch. We should look for Phoebe. I'll check upstairs." Leo states.
"Piper! Piper!" Alexis tried one more time to get her sister's attention, but Piper can't hear Phoebe's cries. Leo comes back in.
"There's nothing upstairs. I mean nothing. Anything down here?" Leo asks,
"No, nothing but a bunch of clays." Piper answers.
Leo: I think we should get out of here. Check the Book of Shadows. I-I want to know what we're dealing with.
"Are you kidding me, We're in a damn container, what is so hard about looking down!" huffed Alexis, "I swear if I miss the Quidditch World Cup this summer, I will vanquish every damn demon from here to Timbuktu,"
"Well, whatever it is it better not require the Power of Four to vanquish it." Piper replies, they orb out and the demon goes over to Phoebe and Alexis
"Well, well the Power of Four. So you're not just a witches, but a Charmed One. Nothing will make happier than to collect you all." Gammil stated.
Gammil puts Phoebe, Alexis and the woman into clay. "When your clay hardens, I'll fire up the kiln and once you're in the kiln, there'll be nothing left to save. Don't worry. I'll be back. Once I complete my collection." He leaves.
"Okay, good. Now that he's gone, I can focus on getting us out of here. Although, I do have to tell you I am not having the best day of my life. It began with an interview where a woman made me feel this big, and now I actually am this big. And next up is being baked." Phoebe stated, Alexis glanced over at her sister, The woman shrieks. "Well, that's just a round about of saying don't panic. We're going to get us out of here. We're... going... to turn... this day around."
"I really hope so, Phoebe." Alexis states.
Manor. Attic. Piper, Harry, Carmela, and Leo are looking in the Book of Shadows.
"Found him! Gammil a.k.a. The Collector. He's known for his passion of collecting one of a kind figurines." Leo reads "Wonder what he gets out of that?"
"Well, speaking for my great-aunt Sylvia, who collects Hummel's, when they have a hard time dealing with real people figurines can be their best friends." Piper replies,
Harry shook his head, "I'm having trouble believing that,"
"Yeah, but being socially awkward doesn't land you in the Book of Shadows." Leo agrees.
"So what does? Piper asked.
"Well, apparently he went up against a witch sometime in the seventies. A spell was cast to make as hideous on the outside as he was on the inside. Like this I suppose." Carmela read, "I think I remember hearing about this guy,"
"Does it say what he did to deserve that?" Piper asks
"No, it doesn't make any sense either. I mean we saw this guy and he's still looks the same." Leo answers.
"So what does that mean? That Gammil found a way to break the curse and changed his name to Finn?" Harry asked.
"I don't know, but I'm guessing whoever the guy Paige is with does." Leo replies,
"Well, then we need to find Paige and hope that she's not in trouble so we can find Phoebe, and Alexis, and hope that they're not in trouble. Piper suggested.
"you really don't know what we have done in the last three years at Hogwarts then," Harry stated.
"Well, I wouldn't worry about Paige. I mean she's in a public place. Nobody's going to hurt her at The Spot." Leo stated.
~~~Paige's apartment.~~~~~
"I wasn't expecting company so just, uh, give me a sec to clean the place up." Paige explains,
"I really like your place." Finn replies,
"Really? It's a shoe box compared to yours." Paige asks,
"I'm really glad I didn't bring you in. You know this is the first time a girl has ever invited me back to her place. Finn states,
"Well, uh, I just thought the club was kind of noisy and we could, um, hang out here. Um, first actually I have a question." Paige replies,
"About what?" Finn asks
"About your house." Paige answers,
"I don't really want to talk about that." Finn states
"If something bad is going on there, I need for you to tell me about it. Please, my sisters could be in trouble." Paige pleaded
"I don't know much. It's only recently that I've started asking questions myself." Finn explained.
"Asking who?"
"Gammil."
"What's his deal?"
"I'm not sure."
"Well, how do you know him?"
"He made me."
"Made you? What is that like a Mafia thing?"
"No. Look give me your hand. Put it here. Do you feel that? I'm not like you." Finn: places Paige's hand on his abdomen.
"Oh, my god."
The Spot (P3). Piper, Leo, Carmela and Harry orb into a secure area. There is loud music and the waitresses are dancing on the bar.
"I got just got, uh, got a creepy shivers myself." Piper commented.
"Now I'm glad you changed the name." Leo stated, ogling the waitresses.
"Oh! Look at the waitresses! Oh, no! Don't look! They're practically removing their spots." Piper stated
Harry was doing decent impression of a landed fish, Carmela slapped her hand over his eyes, "Not something for the younger generation to see," she tilted her head sideways, "That looks like it hurts."
"Can you do that in public?" Leo asks,
"Uh! Listen to me. Just go look for Paige." Piper replies, "Okay? Go." She walks toward the back of the club where a bouncer stops her.
"Hold it! You can't go in there." Bouncer stated
"Excuse me?" Piper asks
"It's the VIP area." Bouncer answers.
"Oh! You're assuming because I not tall, tattooed, or big breasted that I'm not important. That's a bad assumption because I own this club. Which makes me a V.." Piper retorts, Trent comes out to meet her.
"Piper! Piper! Piper! She's good, man. What's up girl?" Trent asks
"Hi." Piper greeted.
"We got a fly crowd." Trent stated.
"Uh-huh." Piper agrees.
"I told you all it needs is a little danger." Trent commented.
"Yeah, that's exactly what this place lacked." Piper replies, "Um, listen. Have you seen my sister Paige?"
"Yeah, she was here, but she left. She said it was too noisy." Trent answers.
"She said what?" Piper repeats,
"It was too noisy." Trent answers.
Piper leaves him and finds Leo trying to get through the crowd, but is caught in between two dancing waitresses. He doesn't seem to mind too much. Carmela comes up with Harry who was struggling to get away,
"Excuse me! Hi! Having fun? Let's go. Paige took Finn to her loft. Let's go." Piper exclaims, They go behind a sofa and orb out.
Outside Paige's Apartment. Piper, Leo, Carmela, and Harry orb in and go inside. They find Paige kneeling in front of Finn.
"Paige!" Piper exclaimed shocked.
"What are you doing here?" Paige asks.
"This is ridiculous. It's like dealing with another teenager." Piper replies,
"I'm just examining him." Paige states.
"Okay! First of all, you should not have left the club." Piper exclaimed.
"Piper-"
"Second of all, you should not be playing doctor with the demon boy." Piper stated.
"Piper-"
"Third of all-" Piper began when Paige had enough and interrupted her.
"Piper! He has no bellybutton. I can explain. First of all, we left your club because it sucks now. Okay, anytime you try to be that hip. It ain't hip. And second of all, Finn has no bellybutton because he wasn't born."
"I was created out of clay." Finn replies,
"In Gammil's own image. He must be a golem." Leo reasons.
"I don't know the technical term, but I do know that he needs protection from the demon that made him." Paige declares
"Okay. Hold up! Where is Gammil now?" Piper asks
"At the house, I think." Finn replies
"We were just there. We didn't see him." Leo states
Finn starts to explain, "That's because he has his own secret hiding place."
"Could he be hiding our sisters Phoebe and Alexis there?" Piper asks.
"No, he probably shrunk them." Finn answers,
"I'm sorry. He probably what?" Piper asks
"Oh, that's what he does. He takes his wand and shrinks the women for his collection." Finn answers.
"Oh god. The figurines, that's why they're each one of a kind. Okay, we have to get back there. We have to find Phoebe, and Alexis" Piper realized.
"Careful. If Gammil's at the house waiting for you, he'll shrink you all. I don't know why he didn't before." Finn warns,
"Maybe he wants all of you, the complete set of Charmed Ones?" Harry asked.
"He has a point," Carmela replies,
"Does he still trust you?" Piper asks
"Yeah." Finn answers
"Okay, then you come with us. You go in first and distract him." Piper replies,
"No, Piper we can't use Finn as a minesweeper. And besides, isn't he an innocent?" Paige asks.
"Actually, Paige innocents tend to be real." Piper answers,
"Listen. We have to go get Phoebe and Lexi. First, we should go by your house, check the Book of Shadows to see if there's a spell to undo shrinking. We'll bring Finn with us." Paige suggests.
"We don't have time for that." Piper replies,
"Well, we can't go in there unprepared." Paige stated.
"Unprepared might be our best shot right now. Leo, Carmela, what do you think?" Piper asks
"I think you need to stop turning to me. Start trying to figure out a way to listen to each other. Piper, you don't listen to Paige's ideas." Leo answers Paige smiles. "And Paige, you don't listen to Piper's advice. I think you guys need to figure out a way how to work as partners."
"We're partners." Piper stated.
"Equal partners." Leo amended
"Well, listen. Can we do that tomorrow? Right now we actually need your help." Paige asks.
"All right, well I think the best that I can help is by this." Leo replies then orbs out.
"Don't look at me, I have to take Harry someplace safe just in case, so I'm taking him to Diagon Alley to get Lexi's birthday gifts." Carmela stated as she and Harry follow Leo's example and orb out.
"Leo! Carmela! Great!" Piper exclaimed.
"What now?" Paige asks
"Well, I'm just going to have to convince you that I'm right." Piper answers.
"Well, we don't have all day. Why don't we just flip a coin?" Paige asks.
"Phoebe's and Lexi's lives is at stake." Piper stated.
"All the more reason to make a decision quickly." Paige replied.
"Fine flip." Piper relented
"Call it." Paige orders,
"Heads."
Paige throws the coin and orbs it to tails. "Tails. I win. Fair and square."
~~~Manor. Piper, Paige, and Finn enter through the foyer.~~~~
"It's okay. You'll be safe here." Paige states.
"Can I get a glass of water? My skin feels a little dry." Finn asks.
"Oh, yeah. Sure. Uh, the kitchen's just down there to the left." Paige answers as Finn walks into the entranceway Gammil shatters him with his wand then shrinks Piper and Paige.
"Uh-oh!" Piper squeaks.
Finn's House. Gammil lines up all five women: Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Alexis and the innocent woman encased in clay on a shelf.
"Time to fire up the kiln. You're next." Gammil states, as he takes the innocent woman to the kiln.
"At least we came for you." Piper stated, Phoebe and Alexis groans. "Phoebe, Lexi, Paige and I are here now. We have the power of four. Can you say a spell?" Phoebe and Alexis moans. "Okay. We'll figure this out. Paige, let's go over our options."
"Options? We have two: We're screwed and we're more screwed." Paige replies,
"We don't need negativity. We need solutions." Piper stated.
"Well, I'm sorry. I've never been shrunk and covered in clay before." Paige retorts,
"Hey! You wanted to be partners so work with me here. Okay? Are you right? We are screwed." Piper replies,
"Can't you blast your way out of it?" Paige asks.
"I tried. I can't move my hands." Piper answers.
"I could call for something, but what would help? What's the point of having powers if you can't use them." Paige suggests
"What about orbing?" Piper asks
"Would Leo hear us?" Paige asks
"No! You can orb!" Piper exclaims.
"Only in the same place." Paige replies,
"Well, that might work. The clay is still wet enough so it might collapse if you leave for a second." Piper explains,
"Uh-huh. Uh-huh." Phoebe and Alexis encouraged.
"Yeah. Only one problem, I've never been able to orb at will before." Paige states.
"But that doesn't mean that you can't. Just concentrate and relax." Piper replies,
"Relax? Are you kidding?" Paige asks.
"Paige, just close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Feel the magic rising from a place of strength. Feel it building and building. Paige, you're our only hope." Piper instructs, Paige orbs and her clay breaks.
"It worked. How cool was that?" Paige asks then her sisters moan. "I know. I know. I'm coming." Paige breaks Piper, Alexis, and Phoebe's clay.
"He's about to put Claudia into the kiln. Piper freeze him." Phoebe stated, Piper tries, but nothing happens.
"Oh, he's way too big for my tiny magic." Piper replies,
"Do you think I can call for his wand?" Paige asks
"I don't know. Try it." Piper replies,
"Go ahead, if we can shrink this fool to our size, we can vanquish him," Alexis stated.
"Just keep your voice down. If he hears us, we will be cooked." Phoebe warns,
"Wand. Wand." Paige whispers,
"Go for it." Phoebe states.
"Wand!" Paige exclaims, The wand orbs to Paige and Gammil hears. "We need a spark."
"Got it!" Piper replies, she runs back behind the wand and uses her molecular combustion, and they shrink Gammil.
"Uh-oh!" Gammil exclaims,
"Can you freeze him now?" Alexis asks, Piper freezes him.
Piper: Yup.
Phoebe: What do you say we take him out Charmed Ones style?
Paige: Don't we need a spell for that?
Phoebe: That was the good thing about being stuck in clay all day. I had time to think of one. Repeat after me. Small of mind.
"Small of mind" Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Alexis chant,
"Big of woe"
"Big of woe" Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Alexis chant,
"The pain you caused"
"The pain you caused" Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Alexis chant,
"You now will know."
"You now will know." The Charmed Ones finished and Gammil disappears and the girls are transformed back to normal size.
"That's it? That's the spell you spent all day working on?" Paige asks
"Well, it worked. Didn't it?" Phoebe replies,
"Oh, my gosh. How did you do that?" Claudia replies,
"The power of four." Phoebe answers,
"The power of point four." Piper corrects,
Later that night, at the Spot (P3). David Navarro is singing and the sisters, Leo, and Harry enter.
"What do you guys think of the Spot?" Piper asks
"couches are nice, but the name sounds like a carpet remover ad," Alexis replies,
"Well, the club scored David Navarro. That's pretty impressive." Phoebe answers,
"I still can't get used to the white gauze." Leo answers
"the white gauze makes it look like one of the classrooms at school." Harry replied, sharing a look with Alexis, the Divination classroom
"Well, you don't have to. I told Trent that I just – I can't do it. Paige is right. It's trying way too hard to be hip. Which means it is five minutes away from being five minutes ago." Piper states, then they go and sit down on a couch. Phoebe raises a toast.
"Okay! To the old!" Phoebe cheers, Paige looks downcast.
"What's the matter honey?" Piper asks
"The last time I was here, I was here with Finn. How do you guys get over these things?" Paige asks,
"You don't." Alexis replies, she leans her head against Harry's shoulder, "It's part of the job,"
"But you learn with experience that you can't dwell on the losses. You kind of have to-" Piper begins
"Harden your heart." Paige interrupts,
"Protect your heart. Unfortunately, it's a fact of our lives that sometimes the good comes with a little sadness." Piper corrects,
"There was a lot of good, too." Leo stated.
"There was a lot of good. I mean my skin looks fabulous." Phoebe agreed,
"Pheebs, you are too much, but I have to agree," Alexis laughed. "Cure for dry skin, be trapped in clay for a day,"
"And now that I've been five inches tall, I will never complain about my height again. And nor will I doubt your instincts again." Piper stated.
"Thank you." Paige thanked her,
"Okay, well then there's just one more thing that we need to tie up." Leo declared,
"Oh, okay." Piper replies, Leo leads them out behind the club.
"Uh, Leo what are you looking for?" Phoebe asks,
"Something very important." Leo answers,
"Broken glass?" Paige ask,
"what used to be the sign?" Alexis asked.
"Broken glass that needs healing." Leo answered, He finds the broken P3 sign. "Here it is. It's up to you."
"Can you do it?" Piper asks, Leo nods. "Well, then do it." Leo heals the sign and it starts to glow. "It looks like P3's is back."
Alexis sighed as they returned home to the manor, turning on the light, a demon appeared made out electricity, she flicked her wrists and the demon left though a outlet,
"Another great summer at home?" asked Harry, who took of his socks and shoes,
"I do believe so," Alexis answered before just falling into bed,
DarkPriestess66: I know it seems like a relationship brewing between Alexis and Harry, but she just feels closer to him then any other then even Cedric. Besides you seen how the sisters act around each other, that is what Alexis is doing. She's showing Harry the affection, he missed growing up with the Dursleys.
