Chapter 2: Duh!
"Hey Aari" Piper said as she came walking into the attic, "Any luck?"
"Not yet... but I was thinking... could we maybe talk about something?" I asked her nervously.
"Of course sweetie, what do you need?"
"Well... when I was fighting that guy earlier... he said some things"
"Like what?" she smiled and I felt kind of guilty.
"Well he said that I wasn't a conjurer and that... you only want me here because of Billie and Christy... I mean, he was lieing right, you didn't make Chris date me did you?"
Her face was filled with complete shock, "Urr well... maybe some of that is true" she said.
My heart broke in that split second and I didn't know what to say, they had invited me into their home and... Made me feel like part of the family.
"I think I better go" I said heading towards the door.
"No, no, Aari, wait" she said grabbing my arm, "It's not like that... we didn't even know about you before Chris brought you home and even then it was the elders that said you we should keep an eye on you, just to be sure"
"So... you, Leo and your sister's don't actually like me? You're just playing... what? Pretend? Until I'm not a liability anymore?" I said rudely.
"Hey! You know we all love you, if we didn't you wouldn't have even moved in... Elders advice or not" she replied.
"Does Chris know?"
"No... But I would appreciate it if you didn't tell him, let me and his father do that" she pleaded.
"I really don't understand what the big deal is, why is being a Spell Speecher so important?" I replied.
"What? What the hell is a Spell Speecher?" she replied looking at me as if I just said I could fly... although that probably wouldn't have shocked her at all.
"That's what I'm talking about... he told me I was a Spell Speecher, whatever that is" I said.
"Well... I don't know what a Spell Speecher is but I was just going to tell Chris that the reason we thought you should move in was because we didn't want him to end up having another Billie and Christy situation on his hands, no one can hurt him more than you can" she said slowly.
"So... you aren't keeping me here so that I can, you know... become all powerful and I won't want to vanquish you?" I asked.
"No... Were keeping you here so you can be closer to Chris without breaking his heart"
"Oh... thank god" I said hugging her tightly.
"Yeah, thank god, right, but... tell me what this guy said to make you think we were using you... bearing in mind he was trying to kill you at the time" she said giving me the eye.

"Well first things first, we need to get the elders down here and find out what your powers entail and then sort out this Utopia before we you know... get hung or burned" Piper said sighing loudly.
"How do you summon elders?" I asked, not knowing you could do it.
"Oh, it takes intense concentration and focus" she said as she took a deep breath.
"Hey! get your butts down here before I come up there and blow your sorry asses to... somewhere higher than where you are" she said winking at me as I chuckled.
A blonde woman suddenly appear with a look of shock on her face, "Hello Piper" she said quietly.
"Sorry... Aari here wanted to know how to summon an elder" she said grinning.
"Right... jokes aside please... we are aware of the situation with the Avatars and we are trying to think of a way to fix it, if we need your help we will call you" she said getting ready to orb.
"Wait, hold it, hold it" Piper said loudly.
"What is it Piper, we don't all have time for games" she replied rudely.
"Aari here is a... Spell Speecher" she said.
The elder looked at me in shock and I smiled awkwardly, "Hi"
"You're... a Spell Speecher?" she asked in disbelief.
"Well... I think so" I replied.
"Show me"
"Show you what?" I asked in confusion.
"Think of the charmed ones... think of them switching powers"
"Hey... hey" Piper said protesting but before she could say anymore Phoebe, Paige and Piper had appeared in front of me.
"Paige... can you orb?" the elder asked.
"Of course I ca... can't" she said in confusion, "What's going on with my powers"
"Aari... I think you better come with me" the elder said holding out her hand, "Where too?" I replied.
"We need you up there, your power down here is far too powerful to be let loose down here" she said.
"Wait... what will I be doing up there?" I said awkwardly.
"Well, you'll be training to become an elder"
"Wait, what? Noooooo he will not!" Piper said loudly.
"Piper, I'm afraid you have no say in the matter" she said still looking at me.
"Piper's right, I don't want to become an elder, I want to stay down here with Piper... Wyatt and Melinda... Chris"
"Well you either come with me or we'll bind your powers, your power is far to much of a liability for it to not be contained" she said angrily.
"Piper" I said turning to her for guidance.
"Listen, he isn't going anywhere... Aari is part of this family and if you try to bind his powers, we will fight back with everything we've got" Piper said coming and standing next to me.
I smiled at her and then Phoebe and Paige stood on the other side of me, "That means us too" they said.
I smiled at them and then the elder orbed away, "Their going to be back soon" Piper said as she towed me towards the door.
"What do we do?" I asked.
"We need to hide you... We need to find Chris first" she replied.
"Piper... the world is hunting magical beings, that includes us, we really shouldn't separate" Phoebe said as she walked close behind me.
"Maybe we could... fight them off"? Paige said.
Phoebe and Piper looked at her and she nodded, "Yeah, our whole family is practically charmed and besides, if Aari's got enough power to scare the elders... then what do we have to lose?"
"Paige is right... I wouldn't have any of my kids run" Phoebe said.
"Fine, we fight... but Leo isn't going to like this" Piper replied sighing.

"No, they can't bind his powers from up there... they can take them if their within reach though" Leo said pacing back and forth.
"Were not letting them get him" Chris said angrily.
"I know Chris... but if they want him, they'll get him" Leo replied calmly.
"Leo!" Piper said nudging him, "They'll have to get through all of us"
"Are you sure... I don't want anything to happen to you guys" I said quietly.
"So... you don't mind not seeing me ever again?" Chris said.
I took a deep breath, "You know that's not what I meant" I replied.
"Good... cause I'm not going a day without you" he replied kissing me.
"Their coming" Phoebe said running into the kitchen, "I just got a premonition"
"Their going to come from the attic and then" Phoebe began but three elders orbing in stopped her.
"False premonition" the elder from earlier said smugly.
Chris went to blow her up but she threw him back using telekinesis. I ran over to him and then remembered what the elder had told me to think of the charmed ones swapping powers.
Piper used her power to blast one of them back and then Wyatt telekinetically threw them backwards.
"That was way too easy" Wyatt said reluctantly.
"I turned them into mortals" I said helping Chris to his feet.
"They weren't kidding... you're powerful" Phoebe said brushing half of a broken glass vase off of her top.
"Turn us back right now!" one of the elders shouted.
"On one condition" I said.
The elder scoffed and then nodded, "Fine, what is it?" he asked.
"I get to keep my powers and stay here or... I'll think all of you up there into oblivion" I said.
The elders looked at each other and nodded, "It shall be done" and I gave them back their powers.
They orbed away and I sighed in relief, everyone was looking at me clapping and I began to blush.
"Come here" Chris said smiling and he wrapped his arms around me and gave me a long passionate kiss.
