Chapter six
June (Trouble at Magic camp)
Not only was it the last day of school, it was also Henry Jr.'s second birthday. While Wyatt, Chris, Melinda, Tamora, Kat and P.J. were at school, and Leo, and Phoebe were at work, Prue, Piper, Paige and Henry took little Henry to the park. The whole family was going to go out for supper that evening, to celebrate Henry's birthday and the last day of school.
"Look mommy" Henry Jr. said holding out his hand.
"Wow, you found a snail" Paige said.
"Good job son, why don't you go put him in the grass" Henry suggested.
"OK daddy" Henry Jr. said and ran off towards the playground.
At the playground, Henry Jr. placed the snail in the grass. Coop beamed to the park with Parker and helped her slide down the baby slide. Prue had two month old Payton in her arms. Henry Jr. also loved to go down the baby slide, and laughed each time he went down the slide. Parker also seemed to enjoy the slide.
At the end of the school day, Piper and Prue picked up the boys with baby Payton. Chris handed Piper a letter, and Wyatt handed Piper his report card.
"Wow, it says Chris will go straight to grade one in September because he's more advanced than the other students" Piper informed Prue.
"Wyatt, you got all B's on your report card, I'm so proud of you boys" Piper said and hugged her sons.
"I'm proud of you two" Prue said and hugged them.
Meanwhile Paige and both Henry's picked up the girls at pre-school.
"Hi girls, I missed you" Paige said and hugged the girls.
"Auntie Paige, you say that every day" Melinda said.
"Oh Mrs. Grace, I thought I'd introduce you to little Henry, he'll be in pre-school with the girls in September" Paige said.
"Wow, that's just great" Mrs. Grace said.
"Oh don't worry, he's much better behaved" adult Henry informed.
"Right, Well have a good summer girls, and I'll see the five of you in September" Mrs. Grace said and walked away.
Paige and Henry put the kids into the car and drove them home. At supper time, the family got into the cars and drove to a new restaurant.
"So are you wondering where we are" Piper asked.
"Yeah, I don't think we've ever been here" Phoebe said.
"That's because this place is my new restaurant" Piper announced.
"Are you serious, you finally opened your own restaurant, Piper I'm so proud of you" Prue said and hugged her.
"So what's it called" Paige asked curiously.
"The Halliwell's" Piper answered.
"Perfect name" Coop stated.
The family entered and sat down at a table.
"Piper why is there no one else here" Henry asked.
"We're not open yet, not to the public anyways, I'll be right back, I had our supper made" Piper said and went to the kitchen.
A few minutes later Piper came back with a pizza. After placing the pizza on the table, Piper stood up to make a toast.
"I'd like to make a toast to a special little boy. Our family wouldn't be complete without him. Happy second birthday Henry Mitchell Junior."
"Happy birthday Henry Jr" Everyone then said.
Piper served the pizza and watched her family as they all took a bite. Once they had shown they enjoyed it, Piper relaxed and ate her slice. Once everyone was close to being done, Piper and Paige snuck into the kitchen and grabbed the cake. They then approached their table and sang while holding the cake.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Henry Jr, Happy birthday to you."
Piper and Paige placed the cake on the table in front of Henry Jr. who blew out the candle on his own. Everyone clapped to keep him excited. Piper served the cake and Henry dumped his face in his slice which made everyone laugh. Paige whipped off Henry Jr.'s faced with a napkin. Once everyone was done their slices of cake, the family went back to the manor.
At the manor, Henry Jr. opened his presents. He got Tomas and friend's trains, picture books, colouring books, crayons, a brown teddy bear, some dress up clothes, and some Pajamas. Henry loved his presents, and he didn't want to go to bed that night. Once he was fast asleep, the adults talked in the living room.
"So Piper, when does the Halliwell's open to the public" Andy asked.
"In July, there's still a few thing I need to take care of, one of them being to hire waiters" Piper replied.
"I can be a waiter if you want" Coop offered.
"Thanks but with Prue going back to photography, whose going to stay here with the kids" Piper pointed out.
"Well Billie can babysit time to time, and so can dad, Plus Parker and Payton can go to daycare at magic school" Phoebe said.
"That's true, ok Coop I accept your offer, you're hired" Piper agreed.
On the morning of the first day of magic camp, Piper, Leo, Paige and Henry were up early getting Wyatt, Chris, Melinda and the twins ready for magic camp. The girls were excited to go to magic camp for the first time.
"Don't worry Melinda, you're going to love magic camp" Wyatt reassured her during breakfast.
"I know, I can't wait" Melinda said excitedly.
"Aunt Phoebe, why can't P.J. come to magic camp with us" Tamora asked.
"She's not old enough, you have to be three years old to start magic camp, and P.J will only be three in November" Phoebe explained.
Once the kids were ready to go, Leo dropped them off at magic camp
"Alright have fun, and remember if you need me just call" Leo said then orbed out.
"Hi strangers" a familiar voice said behind them.
"Hi Claire. Claire you remember my sister Melinda, and these are our cousins Tamora and Kat" Wyatt introduced.
"Hi girls, welcome to magic camp, so what are your powers" Claire asked.
"I can orb and levitate" Melinda announced.
"Mommy told me I can freeze things, but I can't use my power" Kat said.
"Why not" Claire asked.
"My mommy binded my powers and Tamora's powers too" Kat explained.
"Because I set my house on fire once" Tamora added.
"Oh well that's ok, I like your necklaces" Claire said.
"Thank you" the twins said together.
"So we can't play any of the games with no powers, but we can make up our own game" Chris stated.
"Yeah, what do you all want to play" Wyatt asked.
"House" Melinda and the twins suggested.
"OK, I love that game, I'll be the mommy, Wyatt you're the daddy, and the rest of you are the kids" Claire said.
The kids began their made up game, the twins did feel a little left out when the others used their powers, but they didn't let it show. After all they were only three years old. However by lunch time, the twins were not as happy.
"Oh hey look, it's the binded twins, hey what are you two doing at magic camp, you have no powers, so you don't belong here" Rex nastily said. "We're still witches and also part white lighter" Tamora stated.
"Not without powers you're not' Rex teased and walked off.
"Don't worry girls, you can still have fun here without powers" Claire reassured them.
"I'm not letting him get away with that" Wyatt said angrily.
Wyatt jumped out of his chair, orbed over to Rex and orbed the both of them back to the manor.
"Is anyone home" Wyatt yelled out.
"Wyatt what's going on" Coop asked as he came into the room with Parker in his arms.
"This boy teased Tamora and Kat because their powers are binded" Wyatt explained.
"Paige come down here" Coop called out.
Paige orbed down holding Henry Jr. who was wrapped in a towel with shampoo in his hair.
"I'll take Henry Jr. Back to his bath, you might want to deal with this" Coop said and beamed himself and Henry Jr. to the bathroom.
"This mean boy teased the twins because their powers are binded" Wyatt explained again.
"Dam it, I knew something like this would happen, listen young man I don't know who you are but you better stop teasing my girls" Paige warned Rex.
"I'm ten years old, I'm not scared of you baby" Rex replied.
"Ever heard of the charmed ones" Paige asked.
"Yeah duh" Rex replied.
"Well I'm one of them, and so is Wyatt's mom" Paige informed.
"Ok I'm sorry it won't happen again" Rex said and orbed out.
Wyatt hugged his aunt and orbed back to the camp, where a couple of other kids were teasing the twins.
"Hey you better stop, I'm a charmed one and my siblings and I will kick your ass" Wyatt threatened.
"Oh please, your brother and sister can't even tie their shoes, I'm not scared of them or you" One bully stated.
"How do we even know you're really a charmed one" another bully asked.
"Would you like to find out the hard way" Wyatt asked.
"On second thought, we'll take your word for it, come on guys" the second bully said and ran off with his friends.
It didn't stop there, for the whole day the twins were teased. When Paige picked up the kids, the twins were crying. That night once the children were sleeping, the adults talked.
"Poor girls" Phoebe sighed.
"Do you guys think we should take the girls out of magic camp" Paige asked.
"No, that would only teach the girls to run away from bullies" Prue stated.
"The twins are three now, how do you two feel about giving them their powers back" Leo suggested.
"I don't know, they only turned three last month" Henry pointed out.
"I can teach the girls when and how to use their powers" Piper offered.
"We have the same powers" Piper added.
"What do you think honey" Henry asked Paige.
"Well Piper, if you can teach them how to use their powers, and still have time for your restaurant and training your kids to be charmed ones, then I'm ok with it" Paige decided.
"I'm ok with that too" Henry agreed.
Paige orbed herself and Henry to the twin's room. The twins were still awake and playing with their tea party set.
"What are you two doing up" Paige asked.
"We couldn't sleep" Kat answered.
"We have a surprise for you, we're giving you your powers back" Henry announced.
The twins were elated and hugged their parents. Paige orbed down the book of shadows and found the spell. Paige took Kat's hands in hers and casted the spell. Then she did the same with Tamora.
"I take your hands in mine, magic you shall find, your powers I forever unbind."
Paige then orbed herself, Henry and the twins to the back yard. Tamora used her power to set fire to the fire pit, Kat then froze the fire. The girls hugged their parents as the fire unfroze and faded out.
The next day when the kids were dropped off at magic camp, Wyatt's twin friends Olivia and Emily ran up to them.
"The bullies are coming" Olivia warned.
"It's ok, they have their powers back" Wyatt informed.
The bullies approached them with their arms folded at their chests.
"Hey look, the binded twins came back" Rex teased.
"Sorry boys, we have powers" Tamora informed.
"Ok prove it" another bully ordered.
Wyatt orbed a trash can in front of them. Tamora set fire to the trash can, then Kat froze the fire.
"I thought you said your powers were binded" Rex said.
"We got them back last night" Kat replied.
"Ha, now you're just a bunch of ten year old losers who were immature enough to pick on three year olds" Claire pointed out.
The bullies stomped away angrily. Wyatt, Chris, Melinda, the twins, Claire, Olivia and Emily cheered. The kids had a great day at magic camp. The twins even joined in on camp games with their powers. When Andy picked them up, the twins were smiling instead of crying.
