INDEX CARD
TITLE: The Move
AUTHOR: namjai
TYPE (one-shot, chapters, part of a series): one-shot
RATING: (K, T, M, MA): T
LEAD CHARACTERS: Chris, Victor
ORIGINAL CHARACTERS: Penelope, Phoebe's daughter
SHORT SUMMARY: Chris helps move his young cousin Penelope and his grandfather Victor to a different city and a new life out of harm's way. And over breakfast, the seed of a plan to save Wyatt is planted.
"Ow!" Chris exclaimed seconds after he orbed in with the cat, who dug her claws into Chris's arms and stomach before propelling herself out of his arms and under the bed. "Damn it, cat!"
"She's not used to orbing all over the place, let alone across the country," thirteen-year-old Penelope Halliwell chided her older cousin. She crouched down to look under the bed and commiserate with the cat, who refused to come out. "Poor Tigerlily."
"Poor me," Chris said, inspecting the reddening scratches on his arms. "Well," he added, "that's the last of it."
Penelope looked around her new room, which was crammed with unpacked boxes, and announced, "This sucks."
Chris responded with a quiet, sympathetic, "Yeah." He had just finished orbing her and the remainder of her belongings from San Francisco to Boston. After Grandpa Victor bought the house, he had moved most of his and Penelope's stuff the traditional way -- employing a moving company making a killing off of those fleeing the city for safer havens. Penelope had stayed with Chris and his girlfriend Bianca just a few days longer while Grandpa made the place livable, and then Chris took Penelope to her new home.
The piled boxes, the unfamiliar view from her window, the room's disgustingly cutesy wallpaper, her cat cowering under the bed -- Penelope felt a lump in her throat as she said through gritted teeth, "I hate him."
