The Perk, Saturday Evening

[absolutesnark]

Summer decided she wanted something caffeinated and yummy after the weirdness of graduation. She had no idea things were about to get possibly more weird.


She hadn't realized she had arrived at the same time as two other very similar people.

"Oh come on, we have got to stop thinking alike," she heard a young woman's voice say. "It's creeping me out. Can't you just...leave?"

"Hey, I've been around longer than you have," an older, similar voice replied. "So you should go."

Summer mentally flailed as she realized the two bickering women were the mothers of her boyfriend.

"Holy awkward," she muttered, hoping she could leave the Perk before either of them spotted her.

"Hey, aren't you Summer?"

Too late.

Summer turned to look at the younger Piper. "Um, yes?"

"Are you a friend of Wyatt's?" the elder Piper asked her.

"Uh...yeah," Summer replied. "And Chris's."

The younger Piper smirked a bit. "She's Chris's roommate."

Piper was smirking. Summer figured that was a sign she must know they are more than roommates. "Look, I don't know what you could have heard about me, but I swear I will never do anything to hurt Chris. Not intentionally, anyway. I mean, he means a lot to me. You have to know that. We even had kids together. So you know things must go well with us..."

"WHAT?! You have kids?!" The older Piper looked like she was going to faint. "How did I not know this?"

"Relax, kids from the future," the younger Piper assured. "They know better than to be having kids while still in high school. Isn't that right, Summer?"

Summer gulped and may have let out something that sounded like 'meep.' "Of course. I swear. No plans for that."

"Good," both Pipers said in unison.

"You're doing it again," the older Piper sighed.

"So, you're Chris's girlfriend now, huh?" The younger Piper asked. "I'm not surprised."

"You're not?" Summer replied.

The younger Piper nodded. "Well, you've been living together so long. And he always said nice things about you. Plus, you had kids show up. Again."

The older Piper looked somewhat skeptical. "You better mean what you say about not hurting him."

Because you haven't hurt him enough? Summer thought to herself. She dared not say it out loud. "I do Mrs. Halliwell."

"By the way," the younger Piper said. "Please don't ever call me Mrs. Halliwell. That's my grandmother's name."

"Okay," Summer said. "Whatever you want."

"Let me buy you some coffee," both Pipers said at the same time. Then they rolled their eyes at each other.

Summer grinned. Hey, she was going to get two free drinks out of this.

Chris had lost track of Summer in the chaos after the graduation attack. He wasn't worried, though. He decided to stop by the Perk and pick up some coffee to take back to their room.

He entered the shop and stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted his girlfriend and both versions of his mother having coffee together.

He wondered if he could sneak out without being spotted; he didn't need coffee that bad.

[absolutesnark]

"Hi Chris!" Summer yelled when she spotted him. The look on her face clearly conveyed 'help.'

[absolutesnark]

"Hey Chris," the two Pipers said together. Then they both sighed.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Oh, this was... bad. Very, very bad.

"Hey, honey," Chris said, slipping his arm around Summer's waist and kissing her cheek.

"Hi Mom and... Mom. What are you ladies up to?"

[absolutesnark]

"Oh, we're just having a nice chat," Piper replied.

[absolutesnark]

"Yes, they bought me coffee," Summer said. "Which I appreciate, by the way."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"That's nice," Chris said, eagerly accepting his coffee from the confused-looking barista.

"Everyone okay after the graduation chaos?"

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah," Summer replied. "Makes me wonder what's gonna happen next year, though."

[absolutesnark]

"Probably something equally crazy," Piper added.

"You mean graduation ceremonies are always this eventful," the older Piper asked.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Uh, yeah, last year the school got blown up by aliens," Chris shared. "I don't know what we'll get hit with, but you can bet I'll be prepared for anything."

[absolutesnark]

"You are a Halliwell," both Pipers said in unison.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris rubbed his temple. "Okay, you two are starting to freak me the hell out."

[absolutesnark]

"I think my brain has broken just a little more," Piper admitted.

[absolutesnark]

"This is kinda weird," Summer agreed. And scary, but she didn't say that out loud.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Scary would be Chris's best description too. "Definitely weird," he agreed. "Though weird is the norm around here."

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah, it is. I even had a chat with a giant centipede today," Summer said.

[absolutesnark]

"That sounds about right," Piper snickered.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris glanced at his biological mother to see how she was reacting to everything.

"A giant centipede? Really?"

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah. We were talking about magazines. He eats them...and you know what, I'll just be quiet now." Summer figured Chris's biological mother might be freaked out.

[absolutesnark]

"Seems like this school is good preparation," the older Piper said, though she was just a little confused.

The younger one nodded in agreement. "Definitely is."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"It's nice to be able to be myself and not have to hide my powers," Chris said.

[absolutesnark]

Piper nodded. "I always liked that about this school."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris smiled. "So how long are you both in town?" he asked.

[absolutesnark]

"I'm here until tomorrow evening, unfortunately," the younger Piper said. "I plan to take advantage of being off the coast of Greece, though."

The older Piper spoke up. "Your dad and I will be here until tomorrow, too."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"That's cool," Chris said. "Hopefully you guys won't have any trouble getting home."

[absolutesnark]

"That's why orbing comes in handy," the older Piper said. The younger one added, "And I'm sure there will be some kind of portal."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris smiled and faked a yawn. "Well, it's been a long day. If you guys don't mind, I think I'm going to see Summer back to our room."

[absolutesnark]

Summer nodded. "Yeah, it's been a long day."

She totally just wanted to escape this awkwardness.

[absolutesnark]

Piper nodded. "I should get back. Just needed a caffeine fix."

The older one smiled. "Goodnight then. See you tomorrow?"

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Definitely," Chris said, taking Summer's hand and leading her out of the Perk.

"I'm so so sorry you had to deal with that," he apologized once they were out of earshot of both Pipers.

[absolutesnark]

Summer smiled. "Well, hey, at least I got it over with. Meeting your moms, I mean. Though I was wasn't expecting it at the same time. That was weird how coincidental it was."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Only here, right?" Chris said.

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah," Summer said. "But I like it here. Weirdness and all."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Me too," Chris said, tugging her into his arms and kissing her.

[absolutesnark]

Summer, as usual, didn't mind kissing. "We should definitely get back to our room now."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris waggled his eyebrows. "Ms. Roberts, you are such a vixen."

[absolutesnark]

Summer grinned. "Just a little."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"We should hit up some of the beaches around here," Chris suggested. "I'll even buy you a new bikini."

[absolutesnark]

"We definitely need to visit Greece while we're here," Summer wholeheartedly agreed. "And I totally won't stop you."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"We've got all summer to laze around and enjoy it," Chris said.

[absolutesnark]

"I have a feeling it's gonna be awesome," Summer said.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"I have a feeling you're right."
