The two laughed as Robin closed her locker, having just put her books away. Chris was telling Robin a very funny story about what happened to Wyatt in one of their recent demon attacks.

"Seriously, the blood was pink, bright pink and sticky. Wy got it all over himself and then Cleo came over and he turned red. He was just standing there, pink and red with nothing to say besides 'hi'." Chris laughed.

"Oh, and I missed that?" Robin whined, leaning against the locker with a smile.

"Yes, yes you did, and you left me to boycott Valentine's Day all by myself," Chris informed her. The two had never been a fan of Valentine's Day and therefore, spent the whole day trying to avoid it the best they could. It was always fun and they often failed in avoiding it completely since Piper tended to drag them into the restaurant or the club during the day to help set up.

"Well, you should be thankful you weren't in my land for Val Day, it was horrid! They celebrate it like a ritual. There was no chance I could boycott it." Robin pulled a face before laughing with Chris. Her laugh had changed to one that was silky, much like the rest of her people's laughs.

Chris was about to reply, but he saw a boy from the basketball team coming over. Chris was a basketballer to but he didn't remember the guy's name, mainly because he never bothered to learn it. He knew the guy's reputation though, not something one would boast about. A player, and not just on the court, and always trying to get into girls' pants.

The boy swaggered over, drinking in Robin's appearance, although she didn't notice. When he drew level with them, he leant his shoulder on the locker between Chris' and Robin's. He was looking at Robin, his back to Chris.

"Halliwell, why didn't you tell me you had such an enchanting friend transferring here?" the boy questioned in a silky voice, his eyes never leaving Robin's face as he lifted her hand to his lips.

Robin raised an eyebrow and looked around the boy to Chris before looking back. She took in his blond, curly hair, his solid jaw, his strong shoulders, his slightly off-set nose and his smoky green eyes. "Dean? Dean Miers?"

"You've heard of me?" Dean asked with a cocky smile, putting a hand on her hip, rubbing small circles with his thumb.

"No," Robin answered calmly, seeming to ignore the hand pushing her top up to expose a small amount of skin. "You used to call me 'Road kill' because my chest was as flat as a Robin after it was run over."

Dean didn't seem to mind the fact that he was told he used to torment the girl he was flirting with. "Well I won't be calling you that anymore."

"And you won't be talking to her anymore," Chris reassured, stepping out from behind Dean and standing beside Robin, putting his arm around her waist and making Dean drop his. "Do you even know who this is?"

"No, she's hot though," Dean admitted shamelessly.

"You idiot," Chris spat in anger as Robin looked on in amusement. "Come on." He tugged on Robin's arm, pulling her to their next class.

Dean was smart enough not to tangle with a Halliwell but he did check out Robin's ass as she walked off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Class, we have a new student today, why don't you stand up and tell us about yourself?" Mrs. Murray said with a bright smile directed at where Robin and Chris sat.

Both teens looked around them, trying to find the new student only to find everyone looking at them, the boys gorking at Robin.

"Yes, you, dear," the Math teacher confirmed when they looked back at the front.

"But, I'm not new," Robin stated, looking bewildered.

"Aren't you?"

"I was here a year ago. Robin Knock!" the brunette told her.

"I don't remember you," Mrs. Murray informed her. "Well, anyway, why don't you tell us something about yourself anyway?"

Robin shot Chris a look, receiving a shrug from her friend. "I'm Robin Knock, I'm best friends with Chris Halliwell and I used to attend this school last year."

"Alright then, well we should be getting back to the lesson." The young teacher turned back to the board and started to write the formulas on it, making everyone copy it.

The rest of the day passed in the same way, everyone thinking that Robin was a new student. The only ones that remembered her were her and Chris' friends.

"Hey, Chris, whose your friend?" Mandy asked, walking up to the two with her boyfriend. She took a look at Robin, who smiled, before looking away, then looking back. "Robin?"

"Yep!" Robin smiled wider and nodded her head at her two flabbergast friends. They were sitting at their usual table at lunch and although it sounds mean, but no one joins the table unless they all agreed. That was why Mandy had asked.

"Oh my god!" the dark girl yelled, wrapping her arms around her friend. "You're back! You look different! You're back!"

"Mandy! Let her breath." Laughed Rob, shaking his head at his girlfriend's behaviour. "Good to see you again, Robin. We've missed you, Chris more than anyone."

"Gratiae , EGO requiro totus vestrum pariter."

"What did you say?" Mandy asked, frowning at her friend. "You just spoke in… what was that? Latin?"

"Oh, sorry, I've been speaking Latin for the last year so I don't realize when I'm speaking it," apologized Robin. "And I said 'thanks, I missed all of you as well'."

"You had to learn Latin?" Rob questioned in disbelief.

"No, I knew it before I moved. I used to speak it when I was younger but when I moved here I had to learn English. Dad speaks Latin too. He learnt English when he was in his teens."

"So where you went, you only spoke Latin?" Chris knew Latin was the language of a Consobrina but he didn't know they still only spoke Latin.

"Yeah, there was some that knew English but the majority didn't," Robin answered her friend's questions.

"Was it fun?" Rob asked.

"Yeah it was. It was great to be home for at least a little bit and I'd love to go back when I'm older but until then I will happily put up with you lot... where's Trisha?"

"She's sick today, you'll have to catch up with her another day," Mandy informed her with a sad smile.

"Today just made me feel fantastic," Robin sarcastically said in a sing-song voice. "was I really that invisible at school?"

"Not to me," Chris replied.

They were back in Chris' car, heading to the Manor after school. The ride was quieter, what with Robin feeling down about no one really knowing her.

She gave Chris a small smile as they pulled into the Manor driveway. "Thanks, Buzzy."

"No problem, DD."

The two casually walked into the manor, talking. When they went inside, they were tackled around the waist by three eleven-year olds.

"Hi, Penny, Pandora, Patty," Robin greeted, hugging the three girls back.

"Are you?" Pandora started.

"She has to be!" Penny went on, gazing up at Robin. "No one else can make Chris that happy."

"Robin!" both girls shouted.

"Come into the kitchen, Aunty Paige, Uncle Henry, Mum and Dad are here," Patricia said, grabbing Robin's wrist, dragging her to the kitchen where the other Halliwells were seated.

Entering the room, Robin scanned it, looking at the changes in the people. Piper, Leo, Paige, Phoebe and Coop were slowly aging, but they still looked good for their age. Wyatt was as tall as ever, with short, blond hair, a slight tan that he didn't have before and a small goatee. Melinda was no longer the short, chubby fourteen-year-old, but had grown taller and was thinner, although had her mothers build. Purity was still the same as last year, only with slight changes, one being the honey highlights to her brown hair. Patience, who still looked like her dad, had gained some weight to her normally incredibly skinny form. Patricia still had a baby face, seeing as she was still young. Henry had filled-out around the shoulders and looked as though he needed a bit of a shave. Pandora and Penelope still looked identical with the only way to tell them apart was the freckle Pandora had under her eye, they, like Patty still had a bit of a baby face.

Lastly, Robin looked at Chris, who smiled his signature smile. His hair had lengthened over the year and flicked to the side, his green eyes still stood out and his nose still turned up at the end but looked cute.

"Friggen hell you lot have changed," Robin exclaimed.

"We've changed? Look at you!" Paige demanded as Phoebe closed the jaws of Wyatt and Henry who were staring at Robin.

"It happens." The Cousin shrugged.

"So anyways, what was it like?" Phoebe asked.

"It was good, EGO met meus matris concero , EGO haven't seen suus utpote EGO eram quattuor."

"Huh?" Purity questioned, pulling a confused face.

"Did I speak Latin again?"

"Yep," Chris answered Robin.

"I met my mother's twin, I haven't seen her since I was four," Robin repeated.

"Pictures!" Piper stated. "You better have pictures."

With a smirk, Robin snapped her fingers and a stack of photos appeared in her hand. She handed them over without a word, letting the Halliwells look at them. They flicked through photo's of breathtaking sceneries, of amazing displays of magic and even a picture or two of Robin's aunt, but there was one that made them stop in their tracks.

"Whose this?" Leo asked.

Robin looked at the picture before smirking again. "That's Marknus."

"You mean Markus," Henry corrected.

"No, Marknus, he's a Consobrina," Robin informed them.

"You two look cozy," Coop acknowledged, looking at the photo again.

The picture was of the two in front of a water fountain, Marknus' arm draped around Robin's waist as she laughed at something only the two knew.

"Really? I couldn't tell," Robin said sarcastically.

"Is there something we should know?" Phoebe questioned.

"Homework!" Chris blurted out. "We have homework. I'm sure you can leave the photos with my family, they'll take care of them." The brunette boy dragged his friend from the room and upstairs, leaving the rest of the family to continue looking at the pictures.

I have decided to start up this story again, seeing as I know I have at least one person reading it.
