AUTHOR'S NOTE
This story is the third "episode" of what one might call my alternate season six of Charmed. Both this script and its predecessors do not take anything that has happened in the actual season six into account. My characterization of Chris is a bit different from the show's--while not necessarily evil, Chris has not displayed the purest of intentions. He is also affiliated with a group of magical beings that has yet to be revealed.
Since a couple of storylines are carried over, one might want to read the first "episodes", "Fortune Is a Witch" and "The Other Sister", before reading this script though it is not strictly necessary.
I hope you enjoy.
=========================================
INT. MANOR - KITCHEN - MORNING
PHOEBE and PAIGE are sitting at the kitchen table, their breakfasts in front of them. They eat, but their gazes remain locked, challengingly.
PAIGE
Pierre.
PHOEBE
(a beat, then)
Raleigh.
PAIGE
Really?
PHOEBE
Why would I lie?
PIPER enters the kitchen, heading toward the stove to make herself a cup of tea.
PIPER
Morning.
PAIGE
Good morning.
PHOEBE
(to Piper)
Where is my favorite nephew?
PIPER
Amazingly, he is still sleeping.
PAIGE
(to Phoebe)
Austin!
PHOEBE
Jackson.
PAIGE
Damn.
Piper's interest is piqued by their odd exchange.
PAIGE (cont'd)
Jefferson.
PHOEBE
Paul.
(off of Paige's look)
St. Paul, Minnesota.
PIPER
Wait a minute. Are you guys naming capitals of states?
PAIGE
Uh huh.
After a moment of staring at them in befuddlement, Piper tries to freeze them.
PHOEBE
(to Piper)
What are you doing?
PIPER
I'm trying to see if you freeze because right now I'm thinking
that either you guys are shape-shifting demons or I'm in some
alternate reality manor.
PAIGE
We're trying to think of guys we've dated whose names are also
state capitals.
PIPER
Ah. Now I know I'm in the right house.
(to Phoebe)
Hey, I remember Paul.
(gesturing)
He was the one with the--
PHOEBE
(embarrassed)
Shut up, I was thirteen. He was very nice.
PAIGE
Trent!
(off of Phoebe's look)
As in Trenton, New Jersey.
PHOEBE
That doesn't count.
PIPER
And how did this become a topic of conversation exactly?
PAIGE
I don't know. We were bored.
PIPER
Uh huh. Did either of you think to use your apparently abundant
spare time to work on the spell to re-open the portal to our new
favorite astral plane?
PHOEBE
(presenting Piper with a piece of paper)
Done. I finished it last night.
The doorbell rings.
PAIGE
Since I don't have a spell, I guess I'll use my abundant spare
time to answer the door.
Paige leaves the kitchen.
PIPER
(reading over Phoebe's spell)
Great. We can try it out tonight.
PHOEBE
Tonight?
(suggestively)
But aren't you and Leo...
PIPER
Get your mind out of the gutter, missy. We were just talking
last night.
PHOEBE
Piper, I'm not judging you for sleeping with your husband.
PIPER
I know, but I'm not sleeping with him yet. Or again. You know
what I mean. I asked for some time and some space and Leo said
he would give it to me. Besides, he's been busy trying to find
more about his kidnapping.
Paige re-enters the kitchen.
PAIGE
(to Piper)
Are you having an affair?
PIPER
(confused)
What? No. Why?
PAIGE
Because the most gorgeous man I have ever seen is standing in
our front hallway and he's here to see you.
PHOEBE
(to Piper)
Were you expecting anyone?
PIPER
No.
(glancing at her watch)
Who would be coming over at this hour? It's not even nine.
Piper exits the kitchen.
PAIGE
(calling after her)
Don't forget to introduce me!
INT. MANOR - FOYER - CONTINUOUS
Piper emerges from the dining room into the foyer, curious to not see anyone standing by the front door.
MAN (o.s.)
Hello, Piper.
When Piper turns in the direction of the voice, her mouth opens in surprise. Overwhelmed by her shock, she only manages to say...
PIPER
Dan.
