“What are you wearing?”

Paige giggle and rested the phone receiver on her shoulder. “Craig, stop it. You can see what I’m wearing tonight.”

“Oh, come on” her date said on the other end of the line. “Give me a break, I’m stuck in this office all day.”

Paige pouted. “Fine. You know that little red number?” She smirked. She wasn’t, but she didn’t really think that grey sweat pants and a baggy white T-Shirt would have the desired effect.

She could hear Craig laugh in her ear. “Really? Why’s that then? You always get this dressed up at 1 O’clock in the afternoon?”

Paige paused. “Well, I’m a classy girl.” She heard the door slam downstairs and the sound of familiar voices. “Listen, I have to go. See you at the club at 7 right?”

They said goodbye and she hung up, replacing the cordless phone on her dresser. She pressed the ‘power off’ button on stereo and the sound of Aerosmith’s greatest hits stopped.

Paige walked out onto the landing and saw Piper come in through the front door. Paige still had the memory of the phone conversation in her head and a massive grin was plastered all over her face when she walked up to her sister and the three kids.

“Hey guys, what have you been up to?”

“Hee hee” Meg said, ignoring her aunt’s question. She wriggled in Piper’s arms and pointed at Paige. “Pretty red dress!”

Paige stopped and looked shocked. “What…?”

But Piper cut in before she could attempt to decipher what had just happened. Piper shot her daughter a confused look but shook it off and turned her attentions back to her youngest sister. She opened her mouth to say something but paused mid syllable and looked at Meg with confusion.

The 2 year old didn’t seem to notice and struggled to be put down. “What did you say sweetie?” Piper asked.

“Red dress” she replied and looked at both adults like they were stupid. Piper rolled her eyes.

“Yes honey, but why?”

Meg decided, in her toddler brain that maybe it was ok to tell her mommy about her power. She pointed to Paige and giggled. Paige’s eyes grew wide with shock and she stepped closer to the little girl. Piper looked around and spotted Brooke trying to make a swift exit up the stairs. Wyatt still stood in the doorway, looking as confused as his Mom and aunt.

“Hold it!” Yelled Piper. Brooke stopped on the forth step and turned around sheepishly. She put her ‘who me?’ face on and smiled sweetly.

“Yes?”

“Oh no, don’t give me that.” Piper finally gave into Meg’s protests and put her down. She immediately headed for the sofa and Wyatt went over to join her, lifting her up onto the couch. Wyatt still stared at his little cousin. Meg just bounced up and down on the cushions.

“Yes?”

“No you don’t missy” Paige interjected, “what’s going on?”

“Yeah, what is going on?” Piper asked, joining staring very pointedly at her young niece.

“Bouncy bouncy!” Meg squealed.

“Well, Meg does have a power after all…”

* * *

“Leo!” Piper yelled into thin air. Her husband appeared in a swirl of blue lights a second later. “Go get Phoebe!” she yelled at him before he could fully materialise and he vanished again.

“Calm down Piper…” Paige said. That earned her a scowl so she decided to shut up.

Upstairs, Wyatt and Brooke were staring at the rest of their family downstairs. Meg was waving frantically at them but they largely ignored her.

“You’re going to be in so much trouble when Dad gets back with your Mom” Wyatt pointed out. He had a knack for stating the glaringly obvious.

“I know,” she said. Brooke didn’t sound all that worried but Wyatt knew she was.

“So what exactly is Meg’s power?”

She shrugged. “I don’t know what it’s called. She can see pictures in people’s minds I guess.”

Wyatt raised an eyebrow. “Really?” He thought that sounded cool. Way more interesting than a stupid boring force field. Who needs one anyway? Aunt Phoebe could kick box.

Brooke nodded. They both saw Leo and Phoebe orb in and Wyatt turned to her and smirked. “You are soooo dead…” he said, under his breath. She still managed to hear. “So why didn’t you tell?” She shrugged again. “You don’t know a lot do you?”

“Oh oh, Mommy’s mad…” Brooke saw Phoebe look towards her and gesture for her to come down. She reluctantly stood up. Ok, was forced to stand up by Wyatt. When she got to the 5th step up, she leaped off and landed with a thud in front of all four adults.

“We were having fun!” she said, grinning, anticipating that they were going to ask the same question as Wyatt did.

‘Fun?’ Wyatt thought, but didn’t ask any more questions. He just walked downstairs too and stood between his Dad and Aunt Paige. Leo put his arm around Piper in an effort to calm her down.

Phoebe bent down to her daughter’s level. “Sweetie, tell me what’s going on. We’re not mad, we just want to know what you’ve been hiding.”

“I found out what Meg’s power was” she said simply. “Look, I’ll show you.” She walked past her Mom and stood behind the sofa facing Meg and Wyatt.

“Wanna show your power now?” she asked.

“Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!”

Brooke flinched, trying not to be deafened buy the child’s shrieks. She guessed that was a yes. She looked at her Mom. “Picture a scene in your mind” she said, sounding very grown up. Phoebe stepped forward and picked up her daughter. “Think of a place. Anywhere, just don’t say.”

Phoebe stood up straight and closed her eyes. Piper had given up being mad and turned, with Leo to face their daughter. “Can you see sweetie?” she asked.

“Clowns!”

Phoebe opened her eyes in shock. “I was thinking of a circus. That’s amazing.”

All this time, Wyatt had being paying less attention to his parents and little sister, and was deep in thought. He sighed. “Brooke, remember that spell?” All the adults stopped cooing over Meg.

“What spell?” Now it was Leo’s turn to get mad.

‘Whoops’ thought Brooke.

“We cast a spell” Wyatt told them. “When Meg was still inside Mommy, Brooke wanted to talk to her. We did a ‘Seeing’ spell.”

“Did you specify who on?”

“Erm, I don’t really remember” he took a step backwards. “We had to burn it to make it work.”

Brooke finally spoke up. “Oh!” she said, suddenly realising. She caught Wyatt’s sarcastic ‘well done’ look and jumped up and down.

“I did it!” she squeaked. “I gave Meg her power!”
