The New Charmed Ones

Chapter 1: 2 Months Prior

Tori looks around the condo. She and her brothers had moved out of the Manor and the complex was fairly large. It had two floors. On the first there was a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a guest room. On the second floor there was the three main bedrooms and two other bathrooms. She laid out on the fouton in the middle of the living room and says "Just perfect." Chris laughs and says "Now if we could only get Mom and Dad to drop by less often." She smiles and says "Shouldn't they be dropping by any minute." Chris says "Nah, I told them Wy needed his rest for his first game tonight." She nodds. Tori picks up the jersey on the end of the couch and says "Geez you'd never thought to see Halliwell written across the back of a 49ers jersey eh?" She folds it and places it on the table. Then Wyatt comes out of his bedroom. Tori and Chris walk to the end of the stair case and pretend to play the trumpet. When he gets to the bottom of the stairs he bows. And then gives Tori a noogie and Chris wrestles with him til they all fall on the floor in histarics. Tori thinks about how this is the way it should be forever.

Wyatt and Chris set the kitchen table and Tori places a nice plate of food in front of the three chairs. Wyatt says "You know, I don't know why you let old Kat take over Halliwells, you would of been perfect." Tori says "No offense to Mom or anything but I think I want to be more than just the girl sitting behind a counter whipping up crambroule and pancakes for the rest of my life." Chris nods. Chris says "Well Tori what about you and Buck?" Wyatt says "What?"Chris says "Well they've been dating for a long time and someone I won't say who, though its not Buck, is avoiding taking it to the next step." Tori slaps him and says "Oh well you guys don't have to worry about you know what." Chris says "Your right we just have to worry about being the ones making it." Wyatt says "Ok so Chris." He says "What?" Tori says "You don't think we know what you planned for you and Bianca tonight." He says "So?" Wyatt says "So? We'd like to know if you plan on moving her in here or not." He says "Can we wait to see what she says first?" Tori says "Oh come on you know she's going to say yes, you guys are like the magical modern day Romeo and Juliet." Tori mocks the play by saying "Oh Christopher, your eyes sparkle like the an orb." Wyatt takes her and bends on one knee and says "Oh Bianca, you glow more than a spirit whisping." Chris chucks a piece of egg in Tori's face. She throws bacon back and him. He tries to hit her with a piece of pancake and she orbs out and it hits Wyatt. They get into a massive food fight until the phone rings and they stop.

Chris picks it up and says "Hello." Bianca's voice is soft and quiet as she says "Chris." He says "Oh hey Bianca." Wyatt and Tori make kissing noises as he walks into the other room dabbing his face with a towel. She says "I have some bad news." He says "What's the matter?" She sighs and says "Avery." Avery was Bianca's younger sister. She had a bad heart. Chris says "What's wrong?" She says "They um have found a donor, and I'm going to have to leave early before the surgery to see if they're you know, magical." He says "Well how long will you be gone?" She says "Maybe a month or two, with the investigation and then the surgery." He says "When do you leave?" She says "Tomorrow or the day after." He says "Ok come to Wyatt's game and I have a surprise." She says "But Chris" He says "Hey its going to be ok, if I'm not going to see for three months I have to do this now." She sighs and says "Ok." He says "I love you." She says "You too." He hangs up and begins to open the door, and Tori and Wyatt fall back onto the floor. Wyatt says "We were just you know cleaning the floor." Chris says "You're a terrible liar Wyatt." Tori gets up and says "What's wrong?" He says "Nothing." She says "You aren't that much better." He says "They may of found a donor for Avery." Tori goes "That's great." He says "She'll be gone for three months." Wyatt says "That's not-so great." Tori places her hand on her older brothers shoulder and says "It'll be ok." Then the alarm clock beeps and Tori says "We've gotta go to work." Wyatt says "I'll clean up."

Tori drives up to the club and says "Hey Chris, it'll be alright buddy." He says "You just get to work before Ethan kills you." She laughs. He walks into the club and Tori pulls out and to the paper. Her boss was Ethan, the son of Elise, the old owner. Who was a great friend of Phoebe's, the previous advice coloumist. and Tori's aunt. She walked in the door and he immediately came up to her. He says "Hey Tori." She says "Hey I was going to ask you-" He interupts her and says "Of course you can have the night off." She says "How did you-" He says "Your brother's game. He's all over the paper, speaking of which, 415 magazine wants to do an interview on you and your brothers." She says "Why?" He says "Why not? Your mother had owned the biggest restaurant in town, Chris owns the best nightclub, your the hottest advice colomunist in the county, and Wyatt's the biggest talk of San Fran." He holds up the preview to the issue it has a picture of Wyatt in his jersey. Under it says "Popular Name for the Newest Memember of the 9ers." She nods. She goes to her assitant and says "What do we got?" She says "Lonely brother, overprotective mother, and Buck." She says "Buck wrote a letter?" She laughs and says "No he left something for you in your office." She nods, takes the letters and walked into her office. She smiles as she sees the flower buqqet on the desk. She looks at the card. It reads "Lunch time, Bernies." She smiles and says "Georgine, move my 12 oclock meeting to 2." She nods.

Chris looks at the bills for the club and throws them on the stand. Then he hears a voice say "Mr. Halliwell." He turns to see a tall man wearing a suit behind him. Chris says "Yes." He says "My name is Brent DeJoy." Chris says "How may I help you?" He says "Actually its what I can do for you. I'm the manager for the band the Heartbrakers." Chris says "I've heard about them, there that band that has yet to reveal who the members are." He nods. He says "I was thinking maybe in a couple months, I could convince the band to play here." Chris says "Why here?" He says "You kidding.The band started in this very town. How monumental for them would it be to reveal their identies, do their first live concert here, at the hottest club in their birth town?" Chris says "Really?" He says "And it would bring up your rating major. Maybe get p3s all over the country. Think about it." He hands him a card with his name and Chris guessed his number. He winked and walked out of the club. Chris turns and smirks to himself.

Tori pulls up to Bernie's and sees a pathway of roses. She follows it until she sees Buck standing at a table. She walks up and says "How did you get this place empty?" He smiles and says "I payed my uncle a little tip to hold all of his customers inside." She smiles and sits down. He says "You'll never believe what I have to tell you." She says "What?" He says "Brent has booked the Heartbreakers for a first time performance at a local club." She says "What club?" He says "Your brothers." She sighs and says "I don't know Buck." He says "Come on it'll be fun." She says "Ok."

Tori looked in her wardrobe for something to wear to the game, she finally found the outfit she'd picked out and put it on. She could Chris talking to himself in the other room, he did that alot. He tried to make sure everything follows a plan. She goes into her brother's room and he's wearing a black leather jacket, one of which is particularly fond of, a white t shirt and black pants. She smiles and says "A little dressy for a football game don't you say?" He pats himself down and she says "Dude if your looking for weapons you won't find them there." He says "Ha ha." And snarls. She sighs and says "Inside right pocket." He reaches his hand into his jacket and pulls out a small box. Before he could say anything she says "Dad put it in the same spot." He sighs in relief and then they walk out to the car. She sees Buck in the drivers seat, they get in and he says "To Bianca."

The game was going really well, and Wyatt was playing awesome. But they're were down by 1 down and it only had like a minute left on the clock. Wyatt was quarterback. Bianca, Buck, Chris and Tori watched in suspense. They heard the shouts called, watched the ball hiked. And then Wyatt winked and he dashed through the lines of defense and he ran so fast his feet almost came off the ground and then they all watched closely as his feet touched the end zone, and 9ers fans everywhere were yelling and screaming, they had won the game. Tori and Chris ran down to give Wyatt big congrats. He says "Party at my place."

People loaded the condo there was barely any room to get through the door. Chris had fallen back to ask Bianca the question that raged his heart to ask her. Finally when they were alone he took her up to the balcony. She smiles and says "Chris the party's in here." He says "I know but I want to do this out here alone." She says "Do what?" He kneels down on one knee and says "Bianca, I don't want to wait two months, I wanna be with you the rest of my life." He searches his pockets and then Tori bangs on the window and points to his inside right pocket. He takes out the little blue box and opens it and says "Bianca Stevens will you marry me?" She says "Yes." He smiles and picks her up and carries her inside. As they walk in everyone cheers, Chris just realizing he had proposed in front hundreds of people.

The five of them had quite a couple drinks. People left early. Tori' and Buck, both drunk, gave each other a small wink and then they bolted out of their chairs and started to head up the stairs together. Wyatt says "Should we stop them?" Chris says "No if it took both of them getting a little drunk to get Tori over her fear, I think we should let her go." Bianca nodded. Wyatt says "Well then if you don't mind I'm gonna find myself a lady." Chris claps and shouts as Wyatt gets up and rolls his eyes.

Tori and Buck rushed into her bedroom kissing each other emounsly pulling one anothers clothes off. Then Buck laid Tori down on the bed and paused for a moment. She says "What's wrong?" He says "You sure you wanna do this?" She says "Yes." He smiles and begins to kiss her again as they crawl into the bed.
