A/N: This is Pandora's 1st birthday. But that isn't the huge event. ;) BTW, I'd like to thank all my loyal reviewers and I'd like to dedicate this chapter to.... ::a drum roll sounds:: LeoPiperAndyPrue! Thank you a bazillion and one times, for being such an awesome reviewer! You're very inspiring! (Plus, she has a very wonderful story that she's writing herself which is called "Her Destiny". If you want a very creative "Charmed" meets our reality fanfic, then you should totally go read her story! In fact, read it anyway, because it's good!)

Together Forever As One
Chapter 40: Five Times The Blessing

----July 28, 2007----

"Hurry, hurry!" Piper urged, as she knocked on each door as she fled down the hall. "They'll be sending Grams here any minute and none of us are ready!" She complained.

"I'm almost ready and I've almost got the kids ready!" Paige called, from the other side of one of the doors.

"Well hurry!" Piper grumbled, as she headed for the attic.

Leo orbed in, in front of her. "They're almost ready to send her. Is everything in place? The crystals, the charms, ect, ect, ect, ect....?" Leo asked. He was nervous, as well as the rest of the family, and The Elders. Today was a very special day and demons would no doubt try to come for the Halliwells.

"And the faries and Leprechauns?" Piper asked.

"Down stairs, waiting for Grams to arrive." Leo answered.

"Good, good...." Piper said.

Prue came walking up behind Piper. She was dressed in a very fancy baby blue dress. "Are they ready yet?" She asked.

"Paige says, 'almost'." Piper replied, with a roll of her brown eyes.

"Oh Piper, everything will go fine! I know it!" Prue said. But even she was extremely nervous. Never in the history of magic had there been 5 wiccanings at the same time before. Especially not with 5 of the most powerful magical beings in the world.

Phoebe came rushing down the hall. "They're ready!" She yelled.

Cole shimmered himself and Glenn in, behind Phoebe.

"Here they come!" Glenn announced.

Phoebe waved her hands, towards the end of the hall.

Paige opend the door and walked out. She was wearing a beautiful long flowing gown, that was pure white. She wore satin white gloves and white heels. Her hair was also tied in a white ribbon. She looked stunning. She walked down the hall and curtsied before her sisters, brother-in-laws, and husband.

Glenn breathed out. "Wow, Paige, you look amazing!" He gasped.

Paige grinned. "It's a gift." She said, with a roll of her deep brown eyes. Then she waved her hands. "And now allow me to announce....drum roll please....The Blessed Ones!" Paige called, as she pointed to the end of the hallway.

Pearl walked out of the doorway. She was wearing puffy, lacy, white dress and little white dress shoes with lacy socks. She had a white bow in her hair. She curtsied.

"Pearl, you look beautiful!" Prue complimented.

"Thank you, Auntie Prue." Pearl replied, as she stood over by her mother.

"And presenting, Miss Phiona Wyatt!" Paige announced.

Phiona strolled out of the bedroom. Her hair was loose over her shoulders and she wore a small, white hat, like something that you'd wear on Easter. She had on dainty little white gloves, a fancy white dress, white tights, and white dress shoes. She was also carrying a little white purse.

"Phiona, you look like a proper young lady!" Leo complimented.

"And I love the hat!" Cole said, with a 2 thumbs up.

"Thank you daddy, thank you Uncle Cole!" Phiona replied, then she took a place next to Pearl.

"And last but not least....Pamela Turner and her little cousin Pandora Trudeau!" Paige announced.

Pam walked out of the bedroom, carefully holding her baby cousin. She was wearing a short sleeved fancy white dress, white shoes, and white socks. She had her hair in a pony tail, with a white hair tie. She grinned at her mother and father.

Pandora giggled in her cousin's arms. She was wearing a dainty white dress that was trimmed in lace. She had on little white booties and had a white headband with a white flower, around her head.

"Stunning, Pam! You look stunning!" Piper said, with a wink.

"Tanks, Auntie Piper!" Pam replied.

Pandora blinked, as if wanting a compliment as well.

"Doesn't Pandora look wonderful too?" Paige asked, as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Of course she does!" A new voice rang through the hall.

All heads turned to see Penny and Patty Halliwell standing next to the attic door.

"Great Grandma Penny!" Pearl and Phiona cried out.

"Grandma Patty!" Pam yelled, with joy. She shimmed out and then shimmered in, next to her grandmother.

Penny clasped her hands together. "Hurry, hurry! The sooner I've Wiccaned the five of you, the better!"

"Great Grandma Penny, why didn't we get Wicckaed separately?" Pam asked.

Penny grinned and then ruffled the little girl's hair. "We're not 'wicked' and neither are you! You're being 'Wiccaned' and we're doing you all at once because The Blessed Ones are stronger as a whole and should be treated as one. And we're Wiccaning your Aunt Paige because she never had her Wiccaning." Penny explained.

Pam nodded and held Pandora up to Patty. "Grandma Patty, wanna see lil' Pandora?" She asked.

Patty smiled and scooped Pandora from Pam's hands. "Hello Pandora...." She whispered, sweetly. "How's my youngest little granddaughter?" She cooed.

Pandora giggled and wiggled her arms in Patty's arms.

"Pandora, we have a surprise for you...." Penny said, as she gazed at her youngest great graddaughter.

Pandora's eyes glittered and she blinked them, as if in response.

"Come along now dear!" Penny called.

In a swirl of white lights, Andy appeared.

"Andy!" Prue called, as she rushed into his arms.

Andy kissed Prue and then hugged her tightly. "I'd never miss my daughter's first birthday or Wiccaning." He said, as he released Prue.

Patty walked over to Andy and held out Pandora.

"Thanks, Patty." Andy replied, as he gently took his only daughter. "She's so beautiful, isn't she?" He asked, not expecting a reply.

Prue leaned her head against Andy's shoulder. "Just wait until she gets older...." She whispered.

Penny clapped her hands. "Come on girls! We don't have all day!" She announced.

Suddenly a little fairy fluttered past Paige's head.

Then there was a bright rainbow and then a small man in a green suit appeared. He bowed before the Charmed Ones. "Thee faries and me fellow Leprechauns have done our magic." He announced.

Paige smiled brightly. "Many thanks!" Paige replied, trying to sound Irish.

"Ye better work on thee Irish, me dear." The Leprechaun replied, with a wink.

The fairy fluttered her wings and little sprinkles of fairy dust fell from her wings.

"Thee little fairy over yonder says she and her fellow faires have a present for thee Wiccaning." The Leprechaun said.

"Really? What?" Phoebe asked.

A large group of faries joined the Princess Fairy and they began to say something in tiny voices. Their wings fluttered quickly and they threw fairy dust into the air. Then in a glittering swirl of fairy dust, 5 objects appeared: a silver pin that was in the shape of the Triquetra, a golden charm bracelet with a golden Triquetra shaped charm on it, a pair of gold earrings that were eached shaped like the Triquetra, and a silver necklace with a Triquetra hanging from it. The objects glittered brightly.

The Princess Fairy turned and said something, in a small voice.

"Ye fairy says that these here items are for each of thee cousins. She says that thee items shall allow them to contact and see the faries whenever they may need to, without spells and such. They'll also be able to understand 'em without the help of somebody like me self." The Leprachaun translated.

"What goes to who?" Glenn asked.

The Princess Fairy fluttered her wings and replied.

"Ye fairy says that thee pin goes to ye little Pearlinda over yonder, thee charm bracelet goes to little Phiona, thee earrings belongs to Pamela, and last but surely not least thee necklace goes to little Pandora!" The Leprachaun said.

Paige walked over to Pearl. "Pin!" She called. The silver Triquetra pin orbed into Paige's hand. "You should wear this during your Wiccaning and probably as much as you can. It is very special!" Paige told her daughter.

"It's really pretty." Pearl said. She looked at the fairies and curtsied. "Thank you!"

The Princess Fairy chattered something else.

"She says that ye are very welcome, Miss Pearlinda." The Leprachaun said.

Paige pinned the pin onto Pearl's dress. "Beautiful!"

Piper walked over and picked up the glistening golden charm bracelet and then kneeled down next to Phiona. "Hold out your hand, sweetie. Mommy is going to put this very special gift on your wrist."

Phiona obediantly held out her hand and watched as her mother put the charm bracelet on her wirst. "It is so pretty!"

"Say thank you, to the nice fairies." Piper whispered.

Phiona turned to the fairies and smiled. "Thank you, I really like it!"

The Princess Fairy clapped her hands together, in happiness.

Patty, who was holding Pandora, led Pam over to the remaining gifts. She knelt down and picked up the earrings. "Prue, can you come here a moment?"

Prue walked over, knowing what Patty meant, and picked Pandora from her arms.

Patty carefully placed the golden Triquetra earrings into Pam's ears; one in each ear. Then she picked up the silver necklace, stood up, and placed it around Pandora's neck. "There. Perfect."

"Thank you." Pam said, to the Fairy Princess, after earning a look from both her parents.

Pandora just giggled, as if it was were way of thanking the fairies.

"And us Leprachauns have a little somethin' we'd like to give the Blessed Ones as well." The Leprachaun said. He waved his hand and in a golden flare, a large pot of gold appeared. He plucked 4 pieces of gold from the pot and then waved his hand again. "These here are pieces of luck. Remember, they can go either way: good or bad. So use 'em carefully and wisely and only when you need 'em most!" He walked to each Charmed One and handed them 1 piece of gold. "Keep 'em safe until these little ones here can keep 'em themselves."

"On behalf of all of us, I'd like to thank all of you: the fairies and the leprachauns!" Prue said.

"The pleasure is all ours!" The Leprachaun said, for both himself and the fairy who had said something just moments before. "And if ye don't mind, we have one last gift! For ye little Pandora; 'tis her first birthday, correct?"

Prue, who was now standing next to Andy, nodded. "Yes, it is."

The Princess Fairy fluttered over to the Leprachaun and landed on his shoulder. She waved her tiny hand and sent fairy dust falling in front of the Leprachaun.

The Leprachaun waved his hand and sent a beam of golden light into the fairy dust.

The fairy dust and golden light swirled together and formed into a small, dark blue velvet box with a silver lock.

The Leprachaun picked the box from the ground and walked over to Andy and Prue. He handed the box to Prue. "When she's older, this here box will give her one wish! Anything her little heart desires, except something that may cause extreme harm or give her ultimate power."

Prue nodded. "Thank you. I'm sure that she'll use it well, you're both very kind."

Penny clasped her hands together. "Come now! We haven't got all day!"

----15 Minutes Later----

Everyone had assembled in the attic: the Charmed Ones, the Blessed Ones, Andy, Leo, Cole, Glenn, Penny, Patty, the fairies, and the leprachauns.

Black mist swirled through the basement of the Halliwell Manor and a swirling black vortex appeared in the center of the basement. Then within minutes, a very tall man stepped through the vortex and landed on the cold cement, within the black mist. The vortex behind him, vanished. He had deep, blue eyes and shoulder length black hair. His muscular arms were richly tanned and he had various scars and battle wounds on his face, arms, and hands. He was on a mission and nobody, and he meant nobody, would stop him. He hadn't traveled through time and space to be stopped now. He waved his hand and a hollographic type image appeared before him.

----Hollographic Type Image----

Penny Halliwell stood in the center of the Halliwell attic. She faced her youngest granddaughter, Paige Belland. They held hands and were staring into each other's eyes.

----Hollographic Type Image----

"I got here just in time." The mysterious man said aloud. He smiled, knowing the precautions that the Halliwells had taken to protect this sacred ceremony. It won't work this time. The four may exist now, but the two are not here. That will be there downfall. He waved his hand and a black flash filled the room. Then he blinked out.

"I call forth from ti...." Penny began.

The man blinked in and held out his hand, creating a black fire ball and hurling it at Paige.

"Paige!" Phoebe screamed.

Paige instantly orbed out, missing the black fire ball.

Penny waved her hand, telekinetically sending the fire ball back at the man.

Paige orbed back in.

Piper and Phoebe, who were the closest, ran to Paige's aid.

"No!" The man cried, as he went to wave his hand.

Prue held out her hands, using her telekinetic powers to hold the demon at her will. "Use the Power of Three spell!"

"We're the Power of Four!" Piper yelled back.

"I'm busy at the moment!" Prue replied, as she struggled against the man's powerful magic.

Piper, Phoebe, and Paige took hands. "The Power of Three will set us free!
The Power of Three will set us free! The Power of Three will set us free!" They chanted.

Prue was sent flying backwards.

"Sofa!" Paige cried. The sofa orbed out and then orbed in, behind Prue, and catching her.

The man exploded into a flurry of black and purple balls of light. "This isn't over...." A voice whispered throughout the room; nobody heard it though.

A white light flashed throughout the basement and the mist vanished.

Prue stood up and dusted herself off. "How'd he get in here?"

"I don't know! But we should finish this before any other demons or warlocks happen to 'pop' in." Penny said.

Penny, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe, and Paige got back into their original positions.

Penny looked to the ceiling. "I call forth from time and space, matriarchs from the Halliwell line, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, our family's spirit without end, to gather now in this sacred place, to help us bring these witches to grace!" Penny recited.

There was a glittering swirl of white lights throughout the attic and many different witches appeared; all from many different points and eras in time. They all had a golden glow and a beautiful smile.

Penny smiled and turned towards the many faces.

Paige followed suit.

"Welcome! Grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, nieces, and aunts; I've summoned you here today for a very, very special time. A Wiccaning like no other our history or in any history; a Wiccaning of five of the most powerful good witches in the world!" Penny said, as she waved her hands to emphasize her point.

The Warren witches nodded their heads, urging Penny to continue.

"We must bless a forgotten child; the first that will continue for many generations in our family! The first witch-whitelighter, a Charmed One at birth! We pledge to be with this woman, this beautiful girl, always, apart but never separate, free but never alone, she is one of us, and because of that, we will bless her, with all the goodness that we are, welcome to our family, Paige Halliwell Belland, blessed be!" Penny said.

A small humming washed opver the crowd of Warren witches and golden light swirled around them.

Then a swirl of white lights bathed over Paige and she felt a surge of love, pride, and harmony. After a few moments, the lights vanished.

"It is done. Welcome, Paige." The Warren witches said, in a soft unison.

Paige curtsied before her ancestors.

Penny patted her lightly on the back.

Paige nodded and walked over to her older sisters.

Andy walked over to Penny and handed her his only daughter.

Pearl, Phiona, and Pam walked over to Penny and stood in front of her; facing the Warren witches.

Penny gazed down at Pandora and smiled. Then she focused her attention back on the Warren witches. "The next generation has been born into our family, our legacy; The Blessed Ones! We pledge to be with these children, these four beautiful girls, always, apart but never separate, free but never alone, they are part of us, and because of that, we will bless them, with all the goodness that we are, welcome to our family; Pearlinda Melody Belland, Phiona Melinda Wyatt, Pamela Victoria Turner, and Pandora Angel Trudeau; blessed be!" Penny said, as she held Pandora out.

Another humming sound fell across the Warren spirits and washed over the entire room. Golden light swirled around the spirits.

Suddenly the Blessed Ones were enveloped in a cloud of white lights, that lasted for several minutes. Then they began to fade away. "Welcome, Blessed Ones." The spirits whispered, softly.

Each Blessed One could feel a strange warmth wash over them.

Prue walked over to Penny and took Pandora from her arms.

Piper, Phoebe, and Paige joined Prue; behind their daughters. Soon Andy, Cole, Leo, and Glenn joined their wives and children.

Penny and Patty walked over and stood in front of the other Warren witches. Their bodies became translucent, like the rest of the spirits. "Welcome Paige, Pearlinda, Phiona, Pamela, and Pandora. May you always know our love and be bathed eternally in our magic.."

Another whisper fell across the Warren witches. Then one by one, they began to disappear in a swirl of white lights, until only Penny remaind.

"Blessed be." Penny whispered.

"Blessed be." Everyone else in the room echoed.

Penny began to disappear in a swirl of white lights. But before she was totally gone, she closed her eyes and waved her hands, then disappeared completely.

The front doors of the Halliwell Manor remaind slightly opened. Suddenly an unseen telekinetic force, sent from the Halliwell attic, rounded the corner of the staircase and hit the doors; shutting the doors of the Halliwell Manor.

THE END!!!!

A/N: I hoped you liked the finale of, "Together Forever As One"! And I hope that you'll go and read the sequel called, "The Blessed Ones" and find out what the Halliwells have in store for them next! (How will the Blessed Ones use their gifts? How will Pandora use her wish? Will any Blessed Ones become big sisters? Will there be a death of a loved one? I guess you'll just have to read and find out!)
