Double Jeopardy

[sweet8]

(Hello, everyone! This is my 3rd fan-fic, so if you have
comments or constructive criticism, just post them and
enjoy the fan-fic.)

~Chris Perry Halliwell was running late for class. The
teacher isn't gonna be happy, he thought to himself.
Then, as he was coming down the stairs, he glanced
down at his new watch. He didn't really notice that a
dark-haired girl, had crossed into his path.

She was dressed in light blue, slender, and her dark
brown hair was french-braided. He crashed into her
and they both, fell to the floor. Their books were all
scattered, across the hardwood floor. "I'm so sorry.
I was too busy, looking at my watch." Chris said, as
he helped her up. "No, it was all my fault. I was not
paying much attention, to where I was going." the
girl responded, as she got to her feet.

Then, their eyes suddenly became locked in a stare.
She smiled at him and he smiled back. "Are you ok?"
Chris asked the girl, as they started to pick up their
books. "Yeah, I'm ok. Just a bruised butt, that's all."
she responded, forcing out a chuckle. Chris started
to chuckle, as well.

Then, he picked up one of her books. "Hmm, Greek
mythology. I'm impressed." he commented, handing
the book~back to her. She simply nodded her head,
as they stood up. "How stupid of me! Where are my
manners? The name's Parker. Samantha Parker." the
girl said, holding out her hand. "Nice to meet you. My
name's Chris." he replied, shaking her hand.

He is pretty cute, she thought to herself. When they
stopped shaking hands, Chris glanced at his watch.
"Oh, man. I gotta go." he added, as he looked up at
Samantha. "Me, too. So, I guess I'll see ya around."
she answered, as she headed up the stairs. He then
watched her walk up the stairs and turn the corner.
"Bye, Samantha." he said to himself, as he began to
walk away. He knew that his teacher was not going
to be happy, for his tardiness. But at this point, Chris
didn't seem to care.

[silverlily]

I like to know where this is going. Please post some more

[sweet8]

(You got it, silverlily! Here is the next part:)

~Throughout the day; he couldn't stop thinking
about the girl he crashed into, this morning. She
seems different than the other girls I've met, he
thought to himself. Then, just like magic; the girl
appeared, not that far ahead of him. "Samantha,
wait up!" he called after her.

She turned her head and her angelic face, simply
lit up. "Hey, Chris!" she exclaimed, as she tucked
a stray strand of her hair~behind her left ear. He
smiled at her, as he asked: "Hey, Samantha. How
is your day, so far?" She smiled back.

"It's going great, Chris." she responded, as Chris
nodded his head. Then; they just stood there for
a while, looking at each other. He's different than
the other boys. He seems unique, she thought to
herself. Little did she know, Chris was thinking the
same thing about her. Coincidence? It may be or it
may not. Who knows?

Then; someone came up and tapped Samantha, on
the shoulder. Out of pure instinct, she spun around
and was ready to fight. When she saw who it really
was, she returned to her former position.

[sweet8]

~"Natalie, don't creep up and scare me like that!"
Sam exclaimed; as she wrapped her arms, around
her friend. Natalie was around the same height as
Samantha, her ebony-black hair was neatly pinned
up in a hairclip, and some people even mistake her
as Vanessa Hudgens. Her lace tube dress fitted so
perfectly to her athletic yet muscular frame and her
silver hoop earrings glinted, in the sunlight. "Sorry,
I couldn't help it. But it's so great to see you." she
replied, hugging Sam back.

"Same here, Nat. I missed you so much." Sam said.
Meanwhile, Chris just stood there and watched the
two girls' reunion...slowly unfold. Then, he glanced
down at his watch.

"Uh; I hate to interrupt this little reunion, but I got
to go." Chris interjected, tapping Sam~on her right
shoulder. Sam let go of Natalie and turned around.
"Okay, I'll see ya around campus and even around
town." she responded.

"Bye, Sam." he replied, as he turned and began to
walk across the courtyard. Samantha watched him,
as he walked around the corner. "So, who was that
little cutie?" Natalie asked her friend. "Chris. He's a
pretty nice guy." Sam answered, as she turned back
around towards Natalie.

There was a brief silence, between the two of them.
"I know that look. You like Chris, don't you?" Natalie
said, breaking the silence. "No." Sam replied, as she
rolled her eyes. "Don't try to deny it. You so like him
and I don't blame you. He's really cute." Natalie said,
in response. Sam started to blush, a little. "Let's just
change the subject, okay? And besides, we gotta get
going." she commented.

"Oh, yeah." Natalie said, as they both strolled across
the courtyard and toward the student parking lot. He
is really cute. Natalie's right about that, Sam thought
to herself~as she smiled.

[sweet8]

~Meanwhile, when no one was around; Chris
orbed home. Piper was in the kitchen, making
some chocolate-chip cookies. "Hey, Mom." he
said, as he came up and gave her~a peck on
the cheek. She smiled.

"Hi, Chris. How was your day?" she asked, as
she put her cookie tray into the oven. "Great,
except I crashed into a girl~while I was going
down the stairs." he answered, as he ran his
fingers through his hair. Piper closed the oven
door and spun around. "You what?'' she said.
"It was an accident, Mom. And she's okay." he
replied. Piper sighed, out of pure relief.

Just then; a swirl of white and blue orbs came
down and Wyatt materialized, beside his little
brother. "Good afternoon, to all. Did anything
interesting happen, today?" he asked, turning
to his brother and lightly punching him~in the
arm. Chris rubbed his arm. Do you want to tell
him, or should I?" Piper asked Chris.

Wyatt looked at his mother and then, back at
his brother. "Uh; is there something going on,
that I don't know about?" he asked. Chris and
Piper exchanged glances.

[sweet8]

~"I sorta ran into a girl, today. Literally." Chris
finally replied. Wyatt's eyes widened. "You ran
into what?" he answered. "A girl, Wyatt. I was
late for class and I just didn't look where I was
going." Chris said, without making eye contact.
His brother shook his head.

"Completely understandable, bro. Do you know
her name?" Wyatt asked him. Chris looked over
at him. "Her name's Samantha." he responded.
By the look in his brother's eyes, Wyatt can tell
that Chris may have a new crush. Both him and
Piper are happy for Chris, really they are.

Later that night, Wyatt is hanging out with one
of his close friends~at some club. Both of them,
are sitting at the bar. The sounds of Green Day
filled their ears. His friend is athletic-built and is
wearing glasses. His light brown hair is spiked,
and he's wearing a button-down shirt and nice
jeans. Not bad looking, basically.

[silverlily]

yay, another update! You know, it is really easy to read, with the short lines and the small paragraphs. I like it. The story is nice, but I'm kinda waiting on a big surprise to make it really exciting to read.

[sweet8]

(Well; your waiting will, most likely be rewarded!
Here is the next part of the story:)

~"I am so glad that, I let you talk me into this.
I've been feeling depressed, lately." Wyatt's pal
said, as he took a sip of his drink. Wyatt simply
nodded. "No problem, Joel. You're a good friend
and a good witch. You deserve to have fun, once
in a while." he replied; lowering his voice, so no
one could overhear what he said.

Joel smiled, as he took another sip. Then, out of
the corner of his eye; he spotted a pretty blonde,
checking him out. And she was wearing a pair of
black, skinny jeans and a red, knot shoulder tunic.
She then smiled and winked at Joel, as she moved
to the rhythm of the song.

Joel looked back at Wyatt. "There is a hot chick on
the dance floor and she's checking me out." he said.
"Are you serious?" Wyatt responded, as he glanced
at the dance floor and back at Joel. "She is definitely
checking you out. Why don't you go over and dance
with her?" he added. Joel just stared at him, blankly.
"Well, go on." Wyatt insisted. Joel didn't get up, but
he simply waved at the girl.

The girl waved back. Then, the music changed from a
fast song to a slow one. Joel just sat there, a bit too
nervous to walk over to the girl. It seemed like a big
relief to him when the girl that has been checking him
out, walked over and stood beside him.

"Hi, I'm Nicole." the girl said. "I'm Joel." Wyatt's friend
answered, as Wyatt took a sip of his drink. Nicole was
standing so close to Joel, that he could even smell her
perfume. She smells like cherry blossoms, he thought
to himself. "Do you wanna dance with me?" she asked,
in a somewhat seductive voice. "Sure." Joel replied, as
he got up from his seat. She then led him out, onto the
dance floor. He smiled, as she pulled him closer to her
and wrapped her arms~around his neck.

[sweet8]

~Wyatt just sat there, watching his friend have
some fun....for once. Ever since his girlfriend was
killed by demons, Joel has devoted himself to the
hunting and vanquishing of evil. He never has any
fun, anymore. He has been too busy, avenging his
girlfriend's death. She was a witch, too. And now;
it has been the first time in months that Wyatt has
seen Joel, actually smiling.

Then, out of the blue; Wyatt felt someone's hand on
his shoulder. He slowly turned his head to see a red-
haired girl, sitting beside him. She was dressed in a
magenta tanktop and a miniskirt.

"Hi, my name's Sarah. What's your name?" she kindly
asked him. "Wyatt." he replied. She smiled at him, as
she flipped her hair. She has the most beautiful dark
blue eyes that I have ever seen, he silently thought
to himself. "Well, Wyatt; is there a reason why you're
sitting here all alone, while your friend is having fun?"
she answered, as the bartender delievered her diet
coke. She paid him, with a five-dollar bill and he just
walked away.

"Well?" she asked, looking back at Wyatt. He simply
shrugged his shoulders. She took a small sip of her
drink, as she covered his hand with hers. He looked
back at her and smiled. He does have nice eyes, she
thought to himself.

"Would you like to dance with me, Wyatt?" she asked
him, politely. He paused for a brief moment and then,
he said yes. She led him onto the dance floor and he
snaked his arms, around her waist. She wrapped her
arms around his neck, as he pulled her closer to him.
She smiled at him. He glanced over at Joel and Nicole.
They were dancing. Nicole's head was resting on top
of his shoulder and Joel didn't seem to mind. He was
smiling, like he never smiled before.

[silverlily]

I re-read the first parts to get into it again (it's been a while ) and for a few seconds I thought Wyatt was going to run into Samantha. Can't wait to find out what's going to happen next now the boys all fancy a girl.

[sweet8]

(Thanks for the comment, silverlily! Here's the next
part of the story:)

~This may be love at first sight for these two,
but will it last? Later that night, after he said
goodbye to Sarah and dropped Joel off at his
apartment, Wyatt Halliwell orbed home. When
he got there, he found Piper in the living room.
She was reading a book.

"Mom; what are you doing up, so late?" Wyatt
asked, kissing the top of her head. She smiled
at her son, as he sat down on the couch. "Just
couldn't sleep, Wyatt." she responded. As she
closed her book, Piper noticed something a bit
different about her son. "How was your night,
out with Joel?" she asked him.

"It was great, Mom. Joel actually had some fun,
tonight. He met a girl." Wyatt replied. "And what
about you, Wyatt?" she asked, as she set down
her book. "Yeah, I had fun." he answered, as he
folded his hands in his lap.

"Did you meet someone, like Joel did?" she asked.
He smiled. "Why do you have to ask me, all these
questions?" Wyatt said, politely. "I'm your mother.
It's my job." she commented. Wyatt laughed, and
so did Piper. "As a matter of fact, yes. I did meet a
girl, tonight as well. Her name is Sarah." he replied,
finally. His mother smiled and nodded her head. "I
am tired. I'm going to bed and Mom, can you please
get some sleep? You look as if, you haven't slept in
days." he insisted.

Piper rolled her eyes, at Wyatt's compliment. I know
he means well, she thought to herself. "I will, don't
get your boxers in a brunch." she said, sarcastically.
Wyatt let out a chuckle, as he orbed up to his room.
The next morning, as Chris and Wyatt orbed into the
kitchen for breakfast; the smell of scrambled eggs &
pancakes filled, both of their noses.

Chris is wearing a green T-shirt, a black hoodie, and
a faded pair of jeans. As for his brother Wyatt; he is
wearing a light blue sweater and jeans, with a pair
of gray sneakers. They both have a smile, upon their
face. They must be thinking about the girls they both
met, yesterday. Piper was making some coffee, when
they came in. She was wearing a white blouse and a
nice skirt, with shoes to match.

"Good morning, boys." she said, pouring herself a cup
of coffee. Chris walked over and kissed his mother, on
the cheek. She smiled. "Help yourself to some eggs and
pancakes." she added, taking a sip of her coffee. Chris
and Wyatt then, began to eat breakfast.

Piper soon joined her two sons. And just as they were
finishing up, there was a knock on the front door. Chris
proceeded to get up and head for the door. And when
he opened the door, his jaw almost dropped. He could
not believe who was on his doorstep.

[silverlily]

Oh, I wanna know who's knocking on their door! BTW, I don't know if you have any plans for Joel, but I like him. He's been through a lot and he seems like nice guy.

[sweet8]

(Don't you worry, silverlily. There is indeed a plan for Joel, I swear.
Here is the next part of the story:)

~He even pinched himself to be sure that,
he wasn't dreaming. Samantha, the girl he
crashed into, was on his doorstep. Instead
of a french braid; she wore her dark brown
hair down, for today. She's wearing a black
cami and a pair of dirty wash flares, with a
pair of aries skimmers to match. "Hey." she
said, sliding her hands into her pockets. He
smiled at her.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" he asked.
As she brushed past him, he caught a small
glimpse of a tattoo. It was of a butterfly, on
her shoulder blade. Her eyes glanced around
the foyer. "You have a nice house, Chris. The
architectural design of the Victorian era seems
so interesting." she commented. "Thanks." he
replied, closing the front door. Then, there was
a brief moment of silence. "Again I ask, what're
you doing here?" Chris added, as he led her to
the living room. "I was in the neighborhood and
I decided, to drop by." Sam answered.

"How did you even know where I live, Sam?" he
asked her. "Studnet directory." she said, as she
turned toward him. Just then, Wyatt walked into
the room. "Hey, bro. Who's your friend?" he just
asked, politely. "Samantha Parker." she replied,
holding out her hand.

Wyatt shook her hand, firmly. There is something
a bit familar about this girl, he thought to himself.
What could he mean? "Sam, this is Wyatt. My big
brother." Chris interjected. Wyatt smiled, as Sam
let go of his hand. She smiled back.

She then glanced down at her new watch, which
read 10:27. "Well; I gotta get going, before I am
late for work. It was nice meeting you, Wyatt. I'll
see ya around, Chris." she said, heading towards
the front door. And how sweet, Chris opened the
door for Sam. She smiled at him. "Bye, Sam." Chris
said, as she walked out the door & into the warm
sunshine. As he closed the door and turned back,
Wyatt was staring at him.

[sweet8]

~"What?" Chris asked his brother. "Nothing,
she seems like a really nice girl. It's not a big
surprise that you like her." Wyatt responded.
"I do not. I just met Sam." Chris snapped, as
he crossed his arms across his chest. ''Do not
lie to me, Chris. You so like her & I don't even
blame you for it. She is hot." Wyatt said, just
as Piper walked into the foyer.

"Who's not, Wyatt?" she asked him. He simply
turned around to face his mom. She stared at
him, politely for an answer.

Meanwhile, down the street; Samantha turned
the corner and was, caught off guard. She was
knocked to the ground and scraped the palm of
her hand, on the sidewalk. "Ow." she mumbled,
as she turned her head. She saw a tall, hooded
figure~standing over her. Her eyes widened and
her breathing began to quicken. The figure then
removed their hood & pulled out an athame. He
looked around her father's age.

The only difference is that, he had a scar over his
eye~where his eyebrow should be. Also, he had
a tattoo of a cobra~going down the right side of
his face. "Your time has just expired." he said, in
a deep voice. Samantha raised her eyebrows, as
she sat up and put one hand~discreetly behind
her back. "Wanna bet?" she answered; sounding
not scared, but cocky. Then, without warning, she
whipped out an athame and threw it at the figure.
It struck him, in the chest.

"You will pay for that." he said, as he turned into a
pile of dust. "Yeah, right." she commented, kicking
the pile of dust and it blew away. When she wiped
away the blood; her wound was half-healed, in two
seconds. She smiled, walking down the street and
without looking back. If she had her own athame,
then does that make her a witch?

[phoebe11]

love it please keep going!

[silverlily]

^ What she said

sweet8 said:

(Don't you worry, silverlily. There is indeed a plan for Joel, I swear.)

Can't wait to find it out! And now we know Samantha is a witch, is she gonna help Chris and Wyatt fight some demons or something?

[sweet8]

(Keep on reading & you'll soon find out the answer to ur question,
silverlily. Here's the next part:)

~Meanwhile, back at the Halliwell Manor; Wyatt
had just orbed up to his bedroom, when a demon
decided to shimmer in. With just a flick of the wrist,
the demon was no more(before it had a chance to
put up a fight. "Too easy." he said to himself, as he
smirked. When he sat on his bed, he saw a piece of
paper~on his nightstand. He picked it up & read the
writing on it. It was a phone number. Wyatt then fell
back on his bed, with his legs hanging over the side.
"Sarah." he whispered.

I guess Chris isn't the only Halliwell boy with a crush.
And while Wyatt was beginning to daydream, Chris is
exploring San Fransisco. He was walking past a book-
store, when he stopped. Something caught his eye or
should I say....someone. Black cami, dark brown hair.
"So, this is where Samantha works. At the new book-
store." he said to himself.

He walked in, closing the door behind him. There were
3 other customers and 2 workers, including Samantha.
Soon enough, she spotted him and her face lit up. She
had a smile on her face. "Hey." she said. Chris did smile
back, as he walked up to her. "So you work here, huh?"
he replied. She nodded her head. "Yeah, this is it." she
answered, as she tucked a stray strand behind her ear.
Chris then noticed the bandage, on her hand. "Are you
okay? Did you hurt your hand or something?" he asked
Samantha. She looked confused.

[sweet8]

~Well, until she saw what Chris was looking at.
"Oh! I fell, nothing serious." Sam replied; as she
went back to what she was doing, just before he
walked into the store. "Are you sure?" he asked,
out of pure concern. She then turned and glared
at him. "I'm fine, Chris. I just scraped the palm of
my hand, it's no big deal." she snapped.

Chris held up his hands, as he mumbled: "Sorry."
Samantha took a deep breath, as she then rolled
her eyes. Her facial expression softened. "It's ok.
Look, I gotta get back to work. If you like, we can
hang out when my shift's over at 5:00." she calmly
suggested, as she smiled at him.

"I'd like that. I'll see you at 5:00, then." he replied,
as he turned & walked out of the bookstore. "It's a
date." she said to herself, as she then went back to
sorting books.

Meanwhile, at the Manor; Wyatt was taking an early
afternoon nap, when his cell phone rang. He checked
the caller id. It was Joel. "Hello." he said, as he slowly
sat up. "Guess who I just got off the phone with?" his
pal Joel asked. "Whatever happened to saying hello?"
Wyatt commented. "Hello. So, are you guess who it is
or not?" Joel replied. "I don't know, I'd bet that you're
gonna tell me anyway." Wyatt answered. "Nicole, from
the club. Can you believe it?! And guess what? We are
going out on a date, tonight." Joel said. "Really? That's
great, Joel." Wyatt replied. "Yeah, it is. But I'm nervous,
though. I mean, it's my first date since..." Joel began to
say, but his voice trailed off.

"I know, Joel." Wyatt responded, in a consoling tone. "I
have a great idea. We could make it a double date. I can
bring Nicole and you can bring Sarah. That is, if you want
to." Joel suggested. "That does not sound like a bad idea,
at all. Just let me call Sarah." Wyatt said. Ooh, so the plot
thickens.

[sweet8]

~A couple of hours later; Chris decided to check
back in, with Samantha. It is only a few minutes
before her shift ends, he thought to himself. But
when he went inside to find her; he spotted her
immediately but, she seemed to be having a big
argument with some guy.

So, he just stood there and sorta eavesdropped.
"Come on, I just want to talk." the guy insisted,as
he grabbed her arm. She yanked it, out of his grip.
"Justin, no! I don't want anything more to, do with
you." she snapped, turning to walk away. He then
grabbed her wrist. Samantha turned and glared at
him. "Let me go." she muttered, as she tried to slip
out of his tight grip. Justin was the same height as
Samantha, a bit on the heavy side(fat), has brown
hair with blonde roots, glasses, and gray eyes. He
smirked at her and she rolled her eyes.

"Sam, I love you." he answered, as he took a step
forward and his eyes bore into hers. Sam stepped
back, away from him. "You use those 3 words, way
too much." she replied, as she turned away in pure
disgust. His grip on her wrist tightened.

Samantha winced, as she turned back and glared at
him. "You're wrong. I don't use those 3 words, quite
enough." he said, pulling her closer to him. Anger did
begin to rise, inside of Sam.

As Justin leaned in to kiss her; with all of her strength,
she plunged her knee into his groin. He let go of her &
fell, to the ground. And as Samantha attempted to get
around him, he grabbed her ankle and she fell forward.
Just before her face connected with the carpeted floor;
Chris ran over and, caught her.

"You okay, Sam?" he asked, as he helped her up to her
feet. She smiled at him. And meanwhile, still lying on the
floor; Justin looked up at Samantha & Chris, and then he
flew into a jealous rage.

[sweet8]

~He got to his feet & ripped her, from Chris's arms.
"I don't know who the heck you think you are, but
stay away from Sam. She's mine, understand?" he
snapped at Chris, as he placed himself in between
Chris and Sam.

"No, I am not." Samantha interjected, as she put a
hand(discreetly)behind her back. Justin turned and
glared at her. "What did you say?" he asked, as his
eyes bore into hers. "I am not your girl." she replied,
as she whipped out a stun gun and then used it on
him. Justin ended up again, on the floor. But only this
time, he looked like he was having a seizure. "Where
did you get that stun gun?" Chris asked.

Sam completely ignored his question, as she dropped
the stun gun & headed toward the door. And dragging
Chris, along with her. They both made it out the door &
halfway down the sidewalk, before Justin even stopped
twitching. When they turned the corner and ducked into
an alleyway, they stopped to catch their breath.

"Who was that guy, Sam?" he asked. She looked at him,
out of breath. "A big mistake, that's all." she responded.
Chris turned towards her. "What do you mean?" he then
asked. Samantha glanced outside the alleyway, seeing if
Justin was waiting for them or something. "Looks like the
coast is clear." she commented. As she was about to step
out of the alleyway, Chris grabbed her arm.
